Chapter 112 Two kinds of banquets, two kinds of emperors
Li Hongji’s great conquest has already begun. What else can we talk about with him at this time?
No matter what is discussed or what treaty is reached, it is nothing more than a temporary strategy.
When the boulder starts to roll down from the top of the mountain, any action to prevent its fall is in vain. It will not stop until the boulder becomes crushed or has no motivation to continue moving forward.
In other words, from this point on, anything Li Hongji says is untrustworthy.
The same is true for Yun Zhao.
He hopes to reap benefits from Li Hongji's poisoning the world, so he will not say any more unnecessary words.
At this point, the two of them have a very high level of understanding.
It’s just that Li Hongji believes that as long as he works hard, he can conquer more territory and rob more rich people, and his strength will surpass Yun Zhao sooner or later. Regarding Yun Zhao’s stupid behavior of standing still, He appreciated it very much.
After the fall of Luoyang, the whole world was shocked.
In fact, there is nothing shocking.
There are too many things that shocked the Ming Dynasty and the public in recent years.
Prince Fu is dead.
He died miserably.
When the city was destroyed, King Fu also tried hard to survive.
It was already very difficult for the obese King Fu to drag his family and his family into a ruined temple outside the city.
But he was discovered again in just one night, and the thieves quickly captured him.
Fu Wang crawled and knelt at Li Zicheng's feet, hoping that he would forgive him, but no matter how sincere his words were, he could not move Li Zicheng's heart to kill him.
He reprimanded King Fu in public for his past crimes, and then asked his generals to take him down. First, he beat him severely with forty boards. King Fu was beaten to a bloody pulp and his soul was gone. He had already reached the point of unconsciousness. This was considered a capital punishment, but the wait for King Fu did not end there.
With one strike of the soldier's sword, King Fu's head was neatly chopped off, and his head was displayed in a conspicuous place in the city for everyone to watch.
Prince Fu was an extremely fat man during his lifetime, and Li Zicheng was not able to let go of the more than 300 kilograms of body left behind after his death. He made full use of this large piece of meat.
The blood shed from the meat was given to the soldiers to taste to boost their morale.
The blood was also melted into the soldiers' wine, euphemistically called Fulu wine, saying that drinking this wine would bring glory and wealth.
Even if the blood is drunk and the flesh is dry, the flesh cannot be wasted.
Li Zicheng ordered people to take off all the hair and cut off the nails of King Fu's body. Then he killed several wild deer, cut the human meat and venison into pieces, stewed them in several large pots, and set up a banquet. It's called "Fulu Banquet". (This is a story specially chosen because of the needs of the plot.)
This kind of thing is very cruel to say. It is nothing compared to what Huang Chao did in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not even comparable toThe actions of many famous rebels.
Many of the founding emperors also did things like eating human flesh and drinking human blood, but it was just that everyone stopped talking about it after it was tabooed by His Holiness.
It is said that when cannibalism, people will become crazy because of the extremely powerful stimulation caused by severe fear. Perhaps, this is the effect of cannibalism to boost military morale.
While Li Hongji was eating the Fulu Banquet, Yun Zhao was also eating a banquet.
This banquet was hosted by Zhu Cunji, Dahonglu of Lantian County.
The only person eating this banquet is Yun Zhao.
The table is very big and has all the delicacies in Guanzhong. Among them, the dish closest to Yunzhao is a tofu soup. In the soup lies a tofu man who is 70-80% similar to Zhu Cunji. .
The soup is a clear soup made from chicken, ham and bamboo shoots. The surface is covered with a layer of light yellow fat and is full of aroma.
Yun Zhao took a symbolic bite of every dish on the table. Even so, he was already very full.
Zhu Cunji was kneeling on the ground. Behind him were his family of 127 people.
After eating the last dish of cured mutton, Yun Zhao put down his chopsticks and said to Zhu Cunji: "Drink this soul-requiem soup by yourself, so that your soul can rest in peace.
Lao Zhu, we have known each other for only two days. Do you think I am a person who goes back on my word?
Don’t you understand how I treat my own people?
Since you no longer call yourself the King of Qin and become me, Lantian Dahonglu, Yun Zhao no longer has the power to kill you.
As long as you do not violate the laws of Lantian, even Haechi is right. There is nothing you can do.
This is Lantian County, a reasonable Lantian County.
What you are afraid of is just because you have a royal status. In fact, in my opinion, as long as it is. If you are a member of the Ming Dynasty, you will all be members of the royal family!
Today, if you, the Zhu family, cannot rule the world, then someone else will be replaced. It may be me, the Yun family, it may be Li Hongji, or Zhang Bingzhong. If the Yun family is lucky, Climb Dabao, and one day in the future, I, Yun, will not be able to take charge of the Ming Dynasty, then I will find another person.
The sky has eyes, and heaven will reincarnate, and he will never focus on just one person. On the family.
His eyes are on every aspirant in the Ming Dynasty.
Ever since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted in Daze Township, "The princes and generals will have the talent." Our family has no nobles and no royal family.
What we have is just self-improvement."
Zhu Cunji and his whole family kowtowed...
Yun Zhao picked up the soup basin, poured the lifelike tofu man into another basin and handed it to Zhu Cunji, and ordered the eunuch of the former Qin Prince's Palace to distribute the rest of the clear soup to each Zhu clan member.
"Da Honglu, get up. I don't have the etiquette of kneeling down in Lantian County. I asked you to kneel today because I am worried that you will be afraid and eat your own soul. You should read it carefully."The "Lantian Law" formulated by Haezhi has a very clear statement in it - cannibals are punished by death! "
Zhu Cunji quickly finished the tofu man and wanted to talk to Yun Zhao, but Yun Zhao came to Zhu Cunji's mother and said: "I have watched my aunt age rapidly in the past few years. Although I know why, I can't do anything about it.
From today on, the old lady can rest assured. If the children and grandchildren in the family are willing to go to Yushan Academy to study, they can go to school. he.
If one day, the descendants of this family are punished by the Haechi Ming Dynasty, it must be that he himself has committed a crime that deserves beheading, and it has nothing to do with your life experience.
My mother has now handed over the errands of the clan leader, and is very idle. If the old lady has free time, she can go to my mother to talk about Buddhism.
You are old friends. My mother will be extremely happy when you go. ”
The old princess, who was a few years older than Yun Niang, nodded repeatedly, but the tears seemed to never flow cleanly.
After comforting the frightened Zhu Cunji, Yun Zhao left. It is no longer the Dahonglu Mansion covering hundreds of acres.
In order for Yun Zhao to come here to have a meal, Zhu Cunji gave up the entire palace of Qin Prince and the huge "Lotus Pond". ".
According to Zhu Cunji's idea, their family wanted to move outside Erchong Palace.
But Yun Zhao stopped him and moved the area of hundreds of Cunxin Hall, which has more than 160 houses, is designated as the residence of Zhu Cunji and his family.
As for Chengyun Hall and Yuandian Hall, they are separated by walls.
Qian Duoduo wanted to move to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, but was scolded by Yun Zhao. Yang Xiong also suggested that Yun Zhao move to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to work, but the inkstone almost gave him a crescent moon.
When all the officials in Lantian County were preparing to formally invite Yun Zhao to settle in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, they suddenly discovered that the Prince of Qin's Mansion had become a place of leisure where even traffickers and lackeys could visit.
< p>Of course, one has to pay five copper coins to enter.The person responsible for managing this place is Yushan Academy.
Those magnificent halls have become dedicated to the discussion of knowledge. The densely packed houses in the place became a temporary residence for Yushan Academy to entertain people from all over the world who came to study.
Qian Duoduo lost his temper and refused to eat.
Yun Zhao went there in person. Please.
“Today’s slivers of meat are steamed very well, and the tiger stripes are bright red. The dried vegetables underneath have absorbed enough oil and water, and they are most delicious when paired with the good rice sent by Ningxia Prefecture. But that's it. "
Qian Duoduo was unmoved. He lay on the bed and twisted twice to express his displeasure.
"The last cantaloupe just picked from the field in the morning , so juicy that honey water will appear when you take a bite. It’s your favorite on weekdays. If you don’t eat it, you’ll have to wait until next year. "
"There are no lotus flowers to see! ”
Qian Duoduo hum.After a long time, I finally found a reason.
"This is easy to do. Tomorrow, let Yun Qi lead people to plow the open space on the left of our house into a big hole layer by layer, cover it with river mud, and bury lotus roots. Next year You have a big lotus pond to see lotus flowers."
"It's not as beautiful as the one in Prince Qin's Palace."
"It's easy, let Yun Qi take people to fish in the lotus pond in Prince Qin's Palace. If the lotus root is planted in our house, wouldn’t it look like the lotus pond in Prince Qin’s mansion?”
“Can’t we move to Prince Qin’s mansion?”
“No!”
“Why don’t you live here and let a bunch of poor people spend five copper coins to ruin your big study day and night?
Every day, you need to I have dealt with so many major military matters, and this important military location is just a blue brick building. Every time I see my husband sitting by the window working, I feel heartbroken."
Yun Zhao shook his head. He said: "My ambition cannot be contained within the palace of the Prince of Qin. Sooner or later, we will move to the Forbidden City in the capital. What are we doing now in the Palace of the Prince of Qin?"
"Husband, are you sure you don't want to live there?" Will we turn the Forbidden City into a place full of poverty after we capture the capital?"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "This is natural, the proper rituals and majesty are still indispensable? ."
"You promise?"
"I promise!"
"Okay, let's go out to eat."
Afterwards, Feng Ying had just fed her two children, and when she saw Qian Duoduo coming out, she winked, and Qian Duoduo looked up at him with disdain, as if you can rest assured that I will do the work.
Yun Zhao naturally noticed the little moves the two of them made.
Qian Duoduo does not covet a small Qin Prince's Palace, she also cares about the Forbidden City in the capital.
What Yun Zhao did this time was beyond the expectations of everyone in Lantian.
And I don’t understand it very much.
Only Xu Yuanshou and other gentlemen from Yushan Academy were enlightened after hearing this.
After Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, entered Chang'an, he was not fond of beauty, did not take money, had clear discipline, and did not commit any crimes. He was said by Xiang Yu's counselor Fan Zeng to have a great plan.
Nowadays, Yun Zhao is facing the abandonment of the Qin Prince's Mansion with a lot of houses, and still lives in the simple Yushan City. In addition, Yun Zhao lives a simple life on weekdays, so he only has two wives. He also claimed that his two wives were comparable to the emperor's three thousand harem beauties.
This fully illustrates that after Yun Zhao became rich, he did not love beauty, wealth, or mansions. He also treated the people well, was gentle, humble, kind, and kind. Why worry about a person like this? Can’t achieve great success?
