Chapter 200 Concubine Qi’s words of therapy
With the villagers witnessing (eagerly) the whole process, Fu Jiajun delivered five carts of food to five villages.
Li Zheng distributed the grain to the sallow and skinny villagers, but said that it was a reward from His Majesty the Emperor.
The villagers are not stupid. I heard before that the Fu family army has not received food and salary for two months. How could the emperor reward the people with food at this time? !
It can only be saved by Fu Jiajun "from between his teeth"!
The people who had been following the car all the way saw everything, and immediately someone loudly told what happened.
When the villagers heard this, they were all shocked!
In order to get some food for people like himself, Marshal Fu would rather bear the infamy than keep the food sent by King Dongshan? !
And Marshal Fu didn’t withhold even a grain of food, and gave it all to ordinary people he had never met? !
The villagers burst into tears of gratitude. Many villagers knelt down after receiving the food and kowtowed in the direction of the Fu family's military camp.
"Marshal Fu is a good man!"
"Marshal Fu is a living Bodhisattva!"
"In the future, my family will set up a memorial tablet for Marshal Fu... wu wu wu..."
Only then did the deputy general realize: Fu Zhonghai actually had this idea.
Use Dongshan King's food to gain a good impression of yourself in the name of the emperor!
The marshal is indeed cunning!
No wonder he can be a marshal...
The people here received the food and went home to add some wild vegetables to make porridge. Over there, the Fu Jiajun was cooking vegetables with lard and eating them with rice.
Stir-fried sauerkraut with still hot lard and mix it into the rice. The aroma of lard stimulates the aroma of sauerkraut, and then wrap it around the rice grains... The aroma is so delicious that it can make people swallow it!
Especially those soldiers who won the competition in the arena, their lard-fried pickled cabbage actually had oil residue in it!
As they chewed the crunchy oil residue, the movement made the people nearby look sideways!
This damn thing is so greedy!
Since they left Yongzhou and Taizhou in the past few days, the closer they get to the capital, the less oil and water they have...
Now not only can't I eat, but I also have to listen to the sound... both physical and mental torture!
When the rice with lard and pickled cabbage was finished, they were reluctant to just wash the dishes. They added a bowl of boiling water one after another, washed out the oily flowers at the bottom of the bowl, and drank it with great care.
This is lard!
Can't waste it.
Not a single bit should be wasted.
Fu Chenan saw their appearance and couldn't help but think of the scene of Xiao Yingchun washing dishes.
In Xiao Yingchun's time, there was a kind of "dishwashing liquid" that was specially used to wash away the remaining oil stains on dishes.
When Xiao Yingchun eats takeout with him, the takeout dishes will also be covered with a thick layer of oil.
After Xiao Yingchun finished eating the main meat, he would throw the lunch box into the trash can along with the unfinished side dishes and soup.
He still remembers the first time he saw Xiao Yingchun throwing away a takeout box, and he wanted to ask Xiao Yingchun to give him all the soup in the box.
Later, he couldn't bear to let Xiao Yingchun throw it out again, so he would use a big basin. After Xiao Yingchun had set aside the food, he poured it all into the big basin and ate every bit of it.
There are so many things that people throw away, but the soldiers of the Fu family can't get them.
This is the difference between time and space.
Fu Chenan became more and more determined to go to Xiao Yingchun's place to "gather wool".
Thinking about it in his mind, Fu Chenan headed to Xiao Yingchun's Time and Space Supermarket again.
But in the palace of the Liang Dynasty, the emperor was furious!
He leaned forward and stared at the commander of the Forbidden Army reporting below: "You mean, that traitor actually sent five carts of food to Fu Zhonghai?!"
Dai Zhifang, the commander of the Forbidden Army, couldn't help but remind him: "Marshal Fu did not let the food enter the camp. In the name of His Majesty, he sent it directly to nearby mountain villages and distributed it to the mountain people."
"He also specifically announced that it was His Majesty who showed mercy to the people and rewarded them..."
The emperor was so angry that he slapped the handle of the faucet hard: "He is just fishing for fame!"
"If he was really planning on my reputation, shouldn't he collect the grain first and then take it out to give to the villagers?" "Right at the gate of the camp, in front of the people, if he did this, wouldn't he slap me in the face? !”
Dai Zhifang slandered: If the food is collected directly into the military camp, you should say that they are colluding, which will confirm the Fu Jiajun's reputation as a rebel.
Dai Zhifang spoke extremely respectfully: "Your Majesty, what should we do with the Fu family army next?"
His Majesty the Emperor:...
What the hell? !
Now only the Fu Jiajun is still pretending to be ready to attack Dongshan King.
The other generals were more cowardly than the others, not daring to accept the challenge. They didn't even show any signs of it, just watching the fun!
All the troops near the capital must be retained to defend the capital and the palace, and they dare not be sent abroad at all.
If Fu Jiajun is dealt with for this matter now, who will help him stop the rebels?
The emperor put his hand on his forehead and felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
Dai Zhifang didn't ask further, just stood quietly and acted like a qualified door god.
After a long time, the emperor finally stood up weakly: "Go to Qingliang Hall. Go to Concubine Qi."
Dai Zhifang: "Here!"
Logically speaking, the Imperial Guards could not wander around the harem without incident, but the emperor was frightened now and ordered Dai Zhifang to follow him every day.
He had no choice but to acquiesce that this rule did not exist.
The emperor doesn't know what's going on lately. Every time he is stimulated by Fu Zhonghai and his son, he often goes to Concubine Qi to stay for a while.
There was nothing to do there, just two people sitting together and talking dryly.
After getting "conversation therapy" from Concubine Qi, the emperor can always feel at ease for a while.
Concubine Qi, who was abandoned like a pair of shoes in the past, suddenly became the emperor's love interest. Not only was she promoted to concubine, but she was also given various rewards and could see the holy face at every turn...
No wonder the concubines were jealous.
Talk therapy started again.
The emperor was a bit epileptic today, and his eyes were burning with gloom.
"Rong Rong, tell me, did Fu Zhonghai want to rebel because of you?"
Concubine Qi was so frightened that she rolled off her chair and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have been living in this harem all day long. I really don't know anything..."
The emperor smiled strangely: "I know you don't know anything."
"Aren't I here to discuss it with you?"
Concubine Qi looked confused: Discuss? Are we qualified to discuss with the emperor? !
Are you kidding me about my head? !
Concubine Qi kowtowed decisively: "I am devoted to Your Majesty and have absolutely no affection for Fu Zhonghai!"
However, the emperor stepped forward and gently but firmly helped Concubine Qi up: "I don't mean to blame you..."
Concubine Qi felt slightly reassured: As long as she doesn't blame herself, it doesn't matter who she blames.
But the emperor suddenly asked: "Rongrong, tell me, if I let your son Lao Qi become the emperor, will Fu Zhonghai be able to assist the court wholeheartedly? No longer help the tyrants to do evil?"
Concubine Qi's butt just slid down when she sat down, and she knelt on the ground, smiling uglier than crying: "Your Majesty, I and Xu'er really have no wrong intentions..."
The emperor did not speak again this time, nor did he help Concubine Qi up. He sat in a daze with a gloomy expression for a long time, then quietly stood up and left.
After the people walked away, the palace man suppressed the panic in his heart after hearing the secret, and stepped forward to help Concubine Qi, whose legs were numb from her knees.
"Empress..."
Concubine Qi sat weakly on the chair, letting the palace servants apply and rub her knees to save her, her eyes were empty.
The emperor's words just now echoed in her mind like a magic sound, over and over again...
