"Boil...boil lard?"

Ji Ya stared at Qi Lu in shock and said, "Brother, why did you suddenly..."

We were obviously talking about the secret meeting between the prince Zhuer and the kings of the four kingdoms, why did it suddenly turn into boiling lard? Qi Lu's leaping thinking is too powerful, and Ji Ya can't keep up with Qi Lu's speed.

The emperor glanced at Qi Lu strangely, but looking at Qi Lu's smile, he knew that he definitely had "no good intentions", so he was not worried.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I already have a plan, and I will definitely live up to my good intention of coming here to inform you."

After hearing this, Ji Ya scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and said, "Actually... it was actually your Majesty who asked me to tell the Emperor and my brother specifically."

Only then did Gongsunzidu speak calmly and said: "Your Majesty has no intention of disrespecting the Emperor. It is expedient to come to the alliance this time. Please forgive me for my sins."

Ji Lin chuckled lightly. He understood what Zheng Bo Wensheng meant. Zheng Bo Wensheng was already an old ginger, and ginger was still hot when he was old. Therefore, he never made a loss-making business, and he knew it clearly in his mind.

The prince Zhuer wanted to win over Zheng Bohuansheng, and Zheng Bowensheng also had to calculate whether the deal was worthwhile. He came this time with the intention of making a compromise. If the emperor gained power, Zheng Bowensheng would submit to the emperor. If the prince and his sons gained power,

Zheng Bohuan would not offend his allies and let him take advantage of all the good things.

The emperor knew clearly in his heart that it was powerful, but he didn't point it out. After all, everyone was for profit, and no one was a good person, especially as a king, this was understandable.

The emperor then said: "I'd like you to go over and ask Gongsun to tell Duke Zheng. I understand Duke Zheng's good intentions, so how can I wrongly blame Duke Zheng?"

The princes and grandsons all bowed respectfully. Seeing that Ji Ya was always staring at Qi Lu, the emperor simply sent the guests off and said, "You two are useful. Since the message has been brought to you, please come back."

Ji Ya wanted to say a few more words to Qi Lu, so he said, "Brother, how are you going to deal with that kid Fong'er?"

Qi Lu smiled and said, "The mountain people... have their own clever plans."

Ji Ya scratched the back of his head again, with a puzzled look on his face. The emperor had already seen off the guests. Although Ji Ya didn't want to leave, he was dragged out by his grandson and grandson.

Ji Ya walked out of the camp, reluctantly looked back at the emperor's camp several times, and said reproachfully to his uncle and grandson: "What are you doing! I haven't finished talking to my brother yet. We finally met each other. I should have said more."

To put it bluntly, if you are in such a hurry, just go on your own."

But both the grandson and the grandson smiled, glanced at the sacrificial tooth, and said, "No."

"Why?" Ji Ya said, "I'm such a big man, and I can't afford to lose it."

Both the father-in-law and the grandson said: "It's not that I'm afraid you'll be lost, but... you're so close to Taifu Qi, aren't you afraid that your son will taste it?"

Both the grandson and the grandson said it without any hesitation. Xi Ya was stunned at first, and then it was Si Ya who "cossed" instead. His face turned a little red and he stammered: "You...why are you so shameless?"

After saying that, he quickly buried his head and left.

After Ji Ya and Gongsunzi left, the emperor said, "Is there any good way for you to do this?"

Qi Lu said with a smile: "If the prince and his sons did not go to the dining room, Lu would only have one or two good ideas at most. But now that they have chosen to have a secret meeting in the dining room, Lu's good ideas would be thousands."

Tens of thousands."

Ji Lin couldn't help but laugh, his eyes full of doting, and said, "Then I'll just wait for the master's good idea?"

Qi Lu snapped his fingers and said: "I guarantee that you, the kings, will never forget it for the rest of your life!"

Huimeng camp, dining room.

It was not meal time at this time, and the dining room was quiet and deserted.

Prince Zhuer walked in, and several other monarchs were already there. Duke Lu of Lu, Juzi of Ju, and Marquis Wei of Wei. There were four monarchs in total. The only exception was Zheng Boyansheng of Zheng who was not present.

When the princes and sons walked in, Juzi immediately came forward to greet him, frowning and said, "Prince Qi, why did you invite us here? The dining room is a dirty and despicable place. What should I do if my robe is dirty?"

Among these countries, Lu State has the highest seniority and is a duke country. Qi State and Wei State are both marquis countries. Zheng State is lower and is a count country. Ju State is not even a count but a viscount.

The country is the lowest among these people.

The Ju State is located in the east and is a Dongyi country. It is different from the culture of Qilu. Although Qilu is also in the east, Qilu has its own culture, which is all high-class literature, while the culture of the Ju State is closer to that of the East.

The Yi people looked unworthy in the eyes of the Central Plains people.

Moreover, Ju State is at the bottom among the three powerful countries in the East. When it comes to Ju State, many people don’t seem to know that there was such a country during the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the geographical location of Ju State has made Ju State one of the three powerful countries in the East.

Because of his position, he was close to Qi and Lu, so when nobles from Qi and Lu wanted to flee, they would first think of Ju.

For example, Duke Huan of Qi, the most famous leader of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, fled to Qi State with his son Jiu. Prince Jiu chose Lu State, and Prince Xiaobai chose Ju State. After returning home, Prince Xiaobai chose Ju State.

Ascending to the position of king has also created an idiom - never forget to be in Ju.

Juzi has the lowest status among the kings, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. This makes Juzi very arrogant. Juzi has never entered a dirty place like the dining room, and now he is completely unhappy.

Juzi complained: "Has everyone arrived? Why hasn't Duke Zheng arrived yet?"

The prince and his sons comforted him and said: "Be calm and don't be impatient. You all know that this dining room is a dirty and despicable place. Therefore, it is extremely safe and convenient to discuss matters here. No one will think of us."

Will be here in Parliament.”

"Wait a moment..." Prince Zhu'er added, "Mr. Zheng must be on the way and will arrive soon. Please wait a moment."

The prince Zhuer had already sent people to invite Zheng Bohuansheng, but what everyone didn't expect was that Zheng Bohuansheng was not on the way at all, and he would not come to the private meeting, because Zheng Bohuansheng had betrayed them early and was on the way at this time.

Yes, they are clearly...the Emperor and Qi Lu.

"Tap tap tap!"

The prince and his sons were comforting Ju Zi when a series of footsteps came in a hurry. Their eyes lit up and they said, "It must be Duke Zheng who is here."

Before he could even finish his words, a slap in the face came. The eunuch who went to invite Zheng Bohuan to be born hurried back, his head covered in cold sweat, his face pale, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"

"What kind of rules are there in this panic!?" Prince Zhuer immediately scolded him.

The eunuch stammered: "Mrs., Prince... God... the Emperor! The Emperor and Master Qi are coming to the dining room!"

"What?!"

In an instant, the monarchs all spoke at the same time. Lu Gong, Wei Hou, and Ju Zi were all stunned. Lu Gong clapped his hands and said, "Oh no! We have forgotten that Master Qi is the best at cooking. The room caterer is here!”

Marquis Wei was so frightened that his face turned pale. You must know that Marquis Wei was supported by the emperor. After Wei Zhouxu was killed, Marquis Wei had been pretending to be good and very peaceful. If the emperor knew that he secretly came here for a private meeting, it would cause serious trouble. !

Prince Zhuer was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and said, "No, don't panic, don't panic! Let's leave immediately."

"It's too late!" the eunuch said, "We're here, we're at the door!"

The prince and his sons suddenly came to their senses and immediately pointed to the dirty stove and said: "Quick! Hide!"

Although Ju Zi was arrogant and domineering, he didn't care about so much at this time. He was completely shameless and immediately rushed behind the stove and hid first. The Marquis of Wei followed closely, and the princes and sons also crowded in. In the past, only Lu Gong was left.

Lu Gong is the "queen of a famous family". The country of Lu has always been known as the land of etiquette. Moreover, Lu Gong is a first-class duke with an extraordinary status. But now he is allowed to hide behind the stove. He is so dirty and has an adult status. Duke Lu really didn't want to, but the fire was already burning on his eyebrows, and he couldn't bear to care about his face. He gritted his teeth and pushed through.

Among them, the prince, Zhuer, and Juzi have all been pampered since they were young, so they are "broad-hearted and fat", and this Weihou has become a lot plumper since he came to power. Only Lu Gong has a well-proportioned figure, and the four of them are crowded together. At the same time, the corners of Lu Gong's clothes were exposed, but he was so nervous that he didn't notice it.

The emperor and Qi Lu entered the dining room and saw Duke Lu's robes.

The Lu State is famous for two things in the world. Firstly, the construction craftsmanship of the Lu State. Lu State's palaces are luxurious, and the construction skills even surpass Luo Shi's palace. The second is the Lu State's clothing materials.

Many people have heard a rumor that Duke Huan of Qi is very purple. It is said that Duke Huan of Qi likes clothes in "faggot purple" color. In fact, this rumor is not groundless. When Duke Huan of Qi was in power, Guan Zhong gave him an idea. To exhaust the finances of the State of Lu, Duke Huan of Qi was asked to wear clothes specially made by the State of Lu. At that time, the monarch represented the fashion trend. Although the era was still very old, there were many nobles and wealthy businessmen who pursued fashion. These people saw Qi Qi Duke Huan loved the purple clothing materials of Lu State and imitated them. As a result, farmers in Lu State saw business opportunities and all raised silkworms to make clothing materials. Within a few years, Lu State's agriculture declined sharply and Lu State could no longer Do not ask other countries for food.

The clothes Lu Gong was wearing were made of the highest-quality fabrics of the Lu State. The materials were extraordinary, and Qi Lu could tell at a glance that he was a rich man!

Qi Lu smiled, with a thick sly look on his lips, and deliberately pretended not to notice, and said: "Emperor, I will fry some oil residue for you today. I guarantee that the emperor has never eaten it, and it is very delicious."

"Oil dregs?" Ji Lin has naturally never heard of it. He was the prince since he was a child, and later became the emperor. Although Ji Lin has no desire to compare, as a nobleman, it is impossible for the waiters to feed the emperor such unsavory things as oil dregs. something.

To put it bluntly, oil residue is the residue left over from fried fat during the oil refining process. This residue has been refined and the fat has been completely fried. Take it out and mix it with loose salt. Not to mention the taste, it is so delicious. It tastes the same as fried chicken, and it fills your mouth with a sense of happiness.

Qi Lu immediately found a piece of fat meat, lit a fire on the stove with a smile, and then threw the fat meat into the big pot.

When the pot was heated, the fat melted quickly. The monarchs hiding behind the stove were steamed by the firewood, and their whole bodies were filled with the smell of oil smoke.

It wasn't over yet. Seeing that the fat was already hot, Qi Lu took another spoonful of water, winked at the emperor, and said with a smile: "The good show is about to come."

After saying that, Qi Lu poured the boiling water into the pot for boiling oil with a bang.

at once……

Crackling!!

crackling——

The oil and water were mixed together, and the smell of oil instantly splashed everywhere with a crackling sound. The emperor was so frightened that he took a step back. At the same time, he heard bursts of screams coming from behind the stove.

"Ouch——"

"Why!"

"Oh!"

"It hurts...it hurts so much!"
