Chapter 170 Are there any other rebel kings?
Yuanruan: [Oh? How...]
Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard the eunuch's joyful voice, announcing that the sacrificial meat was to be distributed.
Yuan Ruan poked his head out and saw the palace maids carrying plates of charred food that looked hard enough to kill someone.
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [Tong'er, the surface of this sacrificial meat is almost carbonized. Why is it so hard?]
System: [Today's ceremony took too long, and the Qin Tianjian people didn't dare to go to the pit in advance to take out the sacrificial meat, otherwise it would be burnt.]
The prince stepped forward and said, "It's too hard. Why not chop it into puree and add some soup to eat."
Yuan Ruan felt that this was dark food and said weakly, "Brother, I don't want to eat. Eat it."
The prince looked embarrassed.
System: [Ah, it’s not good to be too respected as a national teacher. The first portion of the sacrificial meat is placed in front of you, Ah Ruan, waiting for you. I guess you have to take a bite. Wait, I have an idea. I will lure a beast to come and eat the sacrificial meat...]
Yuanruan: [No, no, no, no, no more trouble. Eat. ]
Yuan Ruan rubbed his cheeks: "Eat, it's delicious."
System: [Aruan, how about I continue to tell you about the King of Huainan to make you happy? ]
Yuan said listlessly: [It tastes terrible. I’m not in the mood. I don’t want to listen.]
King Huainan:!!!
Why don't you tell me about the burnt meat? First, tell me why he was framed!
coquettish.
The King of Huainan suddenly stepped forward with an expressionless face. The Kings of Jing and Yan subconsciously wanted to capture each other, but they heard the King of Huainan coldly say, "Does Daxia have no chefs? The sacrificial meat is so hard, how can we eat it?"
The emperor and his courtiers looked over at the same time.
The Prince of Huainan immediately shook off the somewhat dazed Prince of Jing and Prince of Yan, looked at the eunuch waiting beside him, and said, "Bring me a knife."
The eunuch was stunned and did not move.
The King of Huainan frowned and said, "Are you deaf? Bring me a knife."
The chief eunuch was about to kneel down before the King of Huainan. It was not a question of deafness or not. With His Majesty here, how could he dare to hold a knife for the King of Huainan?
"Give it to him." the emperor said suddenly.
The court officials were shocked when they heard this. The civil officials looked at the emperor nervously, and the military generals subconsciously stepped forward a few steps and stood between the Prince of Huainan and the emperor.
The King of Huainan sneered and said contemptuously: "A frightened bird is as timid as a mouse."
After saying this, he took the kitchen knife and chopping board that the eunuch carefully handed over to him.
Yuan Ruan curiously looked out and saw the King of Huainan making some cuts with his knife. His right hand was almost invisible as he was cutting the meat. Thin slices of meat appeared quickly. Not long after, the King of Huainan prepared a few bowls of egg liquid. Side dishes and condiments.
He used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat covered with egg liquid and put it into the oil pan. In an instant, white mist came out with a sizzling sound, and soon, an alluring aroma spread out, making people involuntarily take a deep breath.
Yuan Ruan suddenly felt his mouth being wiped by the prince.
She looked up in confusion and saw the prince teasing, "Ninth sister, you're almost getting my shoulders wet."
Yuanruan was so startled that he closed his eyes for a moment, and wiped the marks around his mouth back and forth with his chubby hands.
"Eat." Prince Huainan picked up two bowls, placed one in front of the prince and one in front of the emperor, then he folded his arms and remained motionless.
The prince picked up a piece of meat and put it in Yuanruan's mouth. When Yuanruan bit it, it made a crisp sound.
System: [Oh my god. I didn’t expect it to be so delicious!]
Yuanruan: [Tong'er, when did you start sharing taste? ]
System: [Just when you were about to eat the sacrificial meat, I was thinking that we should share the good and the bad.]
Yuanruan suddenly felt more at ease.
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er loves you so much! This is really delicious. Come on, bring me the King of Huainan's melon. I want to eat it as a condiment.]
The King of Huainan turned aside and paid full attention.
At this moment, everyone else understood that the purpose of making a meal is to eat one's own melon as soon as possible.
System: [Okay. One year, the Prince of Hejian found the imperial seal of the previous dynasty and an authentic work of a great writer of the time. Because the imperial seal was a little damaged, the Prince of Hejian specially ordered the craftsmen to repair it with gold inlay, and then he took these two things to the capital. At that time, they were very happy, but then your brother sighed and said, "I am not as good as you." The Prince of Huainan was worried. ]
When the Prince of Huainan heard this, he immediately glanced at the emperor, but was surprised to find that the emperor touched his chin, as if he couldn't remember what it was.
The King of Huainan was furious.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? The King of Huainan thought the Emperor was calling on him? Because he restored the Imperial Seal.]
System: [Yes. In fact, your brother just casually said that he is not as good as the founding emperor who created the imperial seal. But the King of Huainan thought that it was his act of retrieving and inlaying the imperial seal with gold that caused the emperor to sigh and feel jealous.]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [It's not easy to be an emperor. Even a casual word you say will be analyzed word by word.]
For the first time, the emperor turned his head and looked at the King of Huainan.
The King of Huainan pursed his lips, and of course he had more than one word to say.
System: [Of course there is more to it than just this one sentence. The Queen Mother discovered the King of Huainan’s caution and sent someone to find him, saying, “King Huainan, you should be worried. The Emperor later quoted a sentence from the Book of Songs: ‘King Tang took seventy li, King Wen took a hundred li’, and then added a sentence of emotion: ‘King Huainan, please do your best.’”]
Crowd: !!!
That's impossible. If His Majesty was jealous and wanted to kill someone directly, why would he hint at it?
Yuan Ruan: [Hiss. Did my brother say this? Did the people sent by the Queen Mother say this?]
System: [Your brother said so.]
The courtiers' pupils trembled: !!!
What?!
Did the emperor really comment on the King of Huainan using the terms 'the rebellious King Tang of Shang and King Wen of Zhou'?
The King of Huainan did have some reasons to rebel.
The system continued: [But when the Queen Mother passed on the message, she omitted the several hundred words your brother said in the middle. Your brother was reading ancient books at the time, and then he changed the subject and said that the recipe that King Huainan found was very good, and asked him to continue working hard. But the Queen Mother omitted it, and the meaning was completely misplaced.]
courtier:……
King Huainan: ...
Damn, there is such an omission operation.
Yuan Ruan was also speechless: [Those who play politics are really dirty. ]
System: [Yes. In fact, the talent of the King of Huainan is not in politics at all, but in cooking and culture. For example, in the previous branch, your brothers are gone, and the Seventh Princess becomes a rebel king. I looked up the names of several rebel kings and found that the King of Huainan is not on the list at all, and his name is replaced by the name of the internal historian. In other words, even if the great people who hold the tripod of Daxia are gone, the King of Huainan will not be able to make it. ]
The emperor looked at Prince Huainan with some disdain.
The court officials looked at the King of Huainan: How could he be so useless? How about we persuade His Majesty to stabilize the interior first and take down all the enemies?
The Prince of Huainan seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body wilted.
Prince Jing and Prince Yan didn't know whether to feel sympathy or laughter when they heard this. Prince Yan patted Prince Huainan's shoulder gently in a soothing manner.
Yuan Ruan: [I see. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a stupid thing as the locust plague. Oh, by the way, have any of the other princes become rebels? For example, have the Prince Jing and the Prince Yan become rebels?]
System: [Let me see. Ha, there really is one.]
Prince Jing and Prince Yan’s pupils trembled: It definitely wasn’t me!
They looked at each other, with expression that said: It must be you!
