Chapter 142: Gourmand Er Zhurong
In the prison of Wei Guotian, Chen Qingzhi and Er Zhurong are full of red light!
On the table, there are lobsters, abalone, bird's nests, shark fins, and bear's paw residues.
There is also wine and Fenjiu!
There was still some wine in the two glasses!
"Chen Qingzhi. Our roasted whole sheep in Beixiurong tastes good. I once made it for Gao Huan to eat. Erzhurong said.
"No, I don't. Erju Brothers. I'm from Jiangnan, so I like to eat fish. Sauerkraut fish is good. Chen Qingzhi said.
"Let's eat it today. The mutton was brought by Yuwen Luosheng from Wuchuan Town. Erzhurong said.
"Really? I've heard that the cattle and sheep in Wuchuan Town are very good. Chen Qingzhi said.
"That's not right. General Chen Qingzhi, aren't you the son of a businessman? What delicacies haven't you eaten? Erzhurong asked.
"I've eaten it. However, it doesn't have to be authentic. In my hometown, there are too many people who make counterfeit and shoddy products. There are no anti-counterfeiting labels. Chen Qingzhi said.
"What is the security label?" Erzhurong asked.
Chen Qingzhi thought: yes! Er Zhurong was a native of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He doesn't understand modern things.
"It's just the mark that some merchants make to prevent others from impersonating!" Chen Qingzhi said.
"That's it! No wonder your Liang country's things are so good! There are basically no fakes. It turns out that you all made a mark! Er Zhurong suddenly realized!
Once again, the jailer arrived as scheduled.
He entered the cell with a lunch box.
"Second master, it's time to eat!" The jailer said politely.
He opened the lunch box.
Er Zhurong and Chen Qingyi saw that today's meals were: squirrel osmanthus fish, Changsha stinky tofu, lettuce soup, boiled fish, pork stewed vermicelli.
I saw that the sauce of the squirrel osmanthus fish was red and yellow, crystal clear.
Changsha stinky tofu soaked in the sauce, wafting out bursts of aroma, which is endlessly memorable!
"And Jiangnan cuisine?" Chen Qingzhi was surprised.
"Why is it all Jiangnan cuisine? Today's dish was definitely not sent by Yuwen Luosheng. Jailer, was it sent by someone else in the palace? Erzhurong asked.
The jailer replied without hesitation: "I can't hide it, today's dish was sent by King Qi (Xiao Baochun). So, the taste can be very special. You also know that King Qi is a native of Jiangnan. You should still know General Chen Qingzhi, right? ”
"Nope. He and I don't know each other. He turned out to be the king of Jian'an of the Qi Kingdom. I have always been a scholar of His Majesty the Emperor of Liang before, how can I know him? Chen Qingzhi said.
"Really? Could it be that General Chen is still from a poor family? The jailer was surprised.
"yes. I used to be a small trader. My father was in the real estate business! Chen Qingzhi said.
"What is real estate?" Er Zhurong and the jailer looked at each other.
Er Zhurong thought to himself: Chen Qingzhi's words are really unfathomable! How can I say something that I have never heard or seen? It seems that Chen Qingzhi is really knowledgeable and talented!
I'm so lonely!
"Real estate is all about developing land. That's what my father was in! Chen Qingzhi said.
"I see!" Er Zhurong said sadly.
"By the way, General Erzhurong, do you have a wife?" Chen Qingzhi asked.
"No, I don't. Originally, His Majesty had already asked me to marry Princess Beixiang. However, now that the rebellion case has happened, I am afraid that it will be blown! Erzhurong cried.
"Princess Beigo? Could it be the sister of His Majesty the Emperor of Wei? Chen Qingzhi said in surprise.
"yes. She is the sister of His Majesty the Emperor! Many people in the court were jealous of my merits, so they framed me for rebellion! General Erzhurong said.
"But don't you really have the intention?" Chen Qingzhi asked.
"I didn't rebel. I'm just trading with you, the Liang Kingdom. The ministers of the imperial court went to the sea of people who were doing business with Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Joran, and the Persian Empire! Why didn't Your Majesty arrest them? Er Zhurong was unconvinced.
Chen Qingzhi thought: It seems that where there are people, there is a struggle! The struggle of the Wei court is not gentler than that of the Liang state!
The same party fights against differences, the same excludes dissidents, the same same room, and the same fry, so what's the hurry!
"Your Majesty should also believe that you have not rebelled. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been interrogated for so long! Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
"Not necessarily. It is also possible that Your Majesty will execute us without interrogation! Er Zhurong worried.
Let's talk about Liang Guo's side.
Cao Jingzong brought a map and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that the Nagai Khan of Rouran was insatiable, and now the Tiele, Turkic and other tribes are complaining!" Can we let them oppose Rouran first, and then let Rouran run exhausted. In this way, they will be able to make peace with us! That way, you can also keep the price down! Otherwise, if you negotiate directly with Rouran, their price will be very high! ”
"Yes, then what do you think is the best gift for Rouran? Ginseng, or jewelry, or beauty, jade? Xiao Yan asked.
"Your Majesty can give the Rouran Khan that ivory and rhinoceros horn! That's a rarity! Cao Jingzong said.
"What a plan! Ivory good! Xiao Yan said!
The news of Chen Qingzhi's arrest by the Wei Imperial Court soon spread in the harem!
"Mother, have you heard? Lord Chen Qingzhi went to Wei to carry out a mission and was arrested by the Wei court! The maid Xiao Ding said.
"Really, fake?" Ding Guifei suddenly stood up from her seat!
Her eyes flickered, and her heart began to feel uneasy!
She thought to herself: Chen Qingzhi! Back then, this palace missed you! Now, you're behind bars, and your life hangs by a thread!
Although Bengu is already married, I still hope that you can be safe!
After all, you are the lifesaver of this palace! Hongu also hopes that you can return to Liang Kingdom safely!
"Really, sis. The eunuchs in the palace have spread the word! "Xiao Ding is starting to get sad too!
Her voice trembled!
"Really! If the Wei people really caught Chen Qingzhi, would they kill him? Chen Qingzhi defeated the 300,000 army of Wei that year, and the people of Wei have long hated him! Ding Guifei said worriedly.
"Niangniang, let's find a way to rescue Chen Qingzhi! He's your savior after all! The maid Xiao Ding said depressedly.
She thought to herself: What to do? If Chen Qingzhi is dead! The mother must be in pain! The slave is also a good sister of the mother! How can you make her sad?
No, Chen Qingzhi must be rescued!
"Didn't Your Majesty mean to save Chen Qingzhi?" Ding Guifei wondered.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty is too ruthless! Not only did he not save Chen Qingzhi, but also because he was worried that Chen Qingzhi would not be punished, he took refuge in Wei. So all Chen Qingzhi's family members were arrested! You say that Your Majesty is doing this, is it particularly inauthentic? The maid Xiao Ding said indignantly!
"What? Your Majesty is so excessive! If he doesn't save Chen Qingzhi, who has made great contributions to him, forget it! actually arrested Chen Qingzhi's family! Hongu really mistook Your Majesty! Ding Guifei said angrily!
It was raining heavily outside the palace! Thunder roars!
The trees in the Imperial Garden were also soaked by heavy rain.
Ding Guifei thought to herself: Your Majesty! Hongu originally thought you were a righteous gentleman! Now it seems that this palace has mistaken you!
