Chapter 283, Grabbing Food and Inserting Wings(1/2)
The river was surging with white waves, and its surging force was just like Yu Chijun's words, which were also tumbling in the hearts of the two of them. Lei Fengqi repeatedly avoided the words of his cousin Zhang Sipinghou, and finally he could no longer hide in front of his prospective sister-in-law.
No one dislikes power, even if his highest thoughts are only three meals a day and a hot bed, even his wife dare not think about it.
And the other thing is called dominance, which goes hand in hand with power.
People who are dominated by ambition, such as Prince Shunxing and Prince Qingchang, want the supreme power in order to dominate others, otherwise their lives are not good enough?
Having three meals a day is far better than most people in the world, having enough soldiers and horses to show off one's military power, having wives and concubines at home, having children at his knees, and being flattered when going out, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
An ambitious person pursues only his personal sense of dominance at any cost, including his life.
If anyone talks about a war against aggression, it is not among those who are ambitious.
In addition to ambitious people fighting for power, there are also rare people who gain power in order to change the living environment of the world.
When the power is obtained, the other outcome is to do the right thing, change people's livelihood, change the thinking of bullying, and let everything go in a better direction.
Lei Fengqi has not yet reached the realm of rare beings, and even when Yu Chijun analyzed his own family, he was not in the realm of rare beings.
But his words reminded Lei Fengqi that only if you ascend the throne can you truly save yourself and your whole family.
There is a word called impeachment.
If the new emperor's level is not high, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing to be liquidated is Yu Cun, who committed the crime of punishing the prince, and the Marquis of Siping, Marquis of Taiping, Marquis of Pingjiang, and Marquis of Ning who sent troops to relieve the siege of Guangyang City without the military order of Beijing.
Jianghou, Xuchanghou, these people who have independent power in troubled times will make it difficult for the new emperor to sleep and eat.
And Prince Zhaoyong, you didn’t collude with the treacherous officials, so why did you welcome the third son of your family to the throne?
It is not unusual in history for heroes who have won glory in troubled times to be killed by a group of people who use impeachment as a big stick in peaceful times.
The ambition of the two princes of Shunxing and Qingchang was to be the supreme emperor. The ambition of the officials was to exclude those who had different opinions and to make secret arrows at those with higher official positions than themselves.
Yu Chijun’s words reminded and confirmed that hidden arrows can hurt people everywhere.
You Lei Fengqi are still here, timidly avoiding suspicion and refusing to make any plans to ascend the throne. I am afraid that one day the new emperor will ascend the throne and you will not even be able to clear your qualifications.
The two princes surrounded Guangyang City with ambitions, and you, Lei Fengqi, who were welcomed to the throne were also ambitions in the eyes of others. In the eyes of uninformed people and those with ulterior motives, there is no difference.
Watching the river water changing from clear to turbid in the rapids, the thunder and wind stirred up all kinds of mixed feelings.
Of course, he feels that way now. The truth is what Yu Chijun said, but it is difficult to do it in practice.
Xiao Yu's beautiful and smart face always occupies his mind, and it is the first thing Lei Fengqi cares about.
Yu Chijun, a bystander with a clear mind, simply said: "There is nothing wrong with us being prepared to protect ourselves, right?"
This is quite vague.
What to prepare for?
Preparation for self-protection?
Or is the new emperor being unkind and immediately overthrowing him and replacing him with Lei Fengqi?
There is no difference between the two preparations.
But because Yu Chijun said vaguely, Lei Fengqi felt relieved that he was forced into a corner at this moment. He took a breath and quickly agreed: "Okay."
Otherwise, he was afraid that Yu Chijun's sharp words might force him to agree.
The conversation could only end here. Although Yuchijun wanted to say something else, a strong smell of food floated over, and the freshness of the fish was very absorbing. Yuchijun and Lei Fengqi both praised:
"good."
Unexpectedly, they felt hungry, and then they thought of Lei Yiwen saying that she was cooking, and Yu Chijun must support her. Lei Fengqi had a deep brotherhood, so the two of them said nothing and walked outside.
Habitually respecting the prince's son, Yu Chijun made a mistake. He looked at Lei Fengqi's broad back and said secretly, "It's not that I would have pushed you to ascend the throne. Who knows that Prince Zhaoyong's residence is destined to be the emperor?"
And it is said that you have ascended the throne and become famous throughout the country.
The whole country has now spread the word "Welcome Lei Fengqi to Beijing and ascend the throne", and the most popular news is that you fell into the water and disappeared. About half of the people think that you have been tricked and deserve sympathy, and the other half think that you have another conspiracy.
Maybe he will go to the Golden Palace tomorrow to announce that he has ascended the throne.
Yu Chijun said that we should be prepared to protect ourselves, including preparing to ascend the throne if Lei Fengqi is involved.
Just like Yu Cun was also prepared to protect himself, otherwise he would not have just sent his granddaughter out quietly at the beginning. No matter how well prepared Yu Cun was to protect himself, it would not have included ascending the throne.
"Welcoming Lei Fengqi to the throne" made the two princes of Shunxing and Qingchang dissatisfied, but they figured out the reason before sending troops.
If Yu Cun announced that the Master was going to ascend the throne, all the troops in the country would be afraid to speak out together and "denounce this traitor" without even hesitating.
This is the difference between having royal blood and not having royal blood.
So Yuchi Jun spread his hands behind Lei Fengqi, feeling that he was extremely innocent, and he had no other choice. Who told you to have a share in ascending the throne? Do you want to blame it, or blame your three generals for being born in the wrong emperor's family.
Yu Chijun, who once again persuaded Lei Fengqi and almost succeeded, walked into the kitchen without any grudges and was fully prepared to praise his precious article. When he took a look, he was stunned.
Lei Fengqi, who came first, could not hide the joy on his face.
This is a big ship and can carry a lot of cargo and people. The kitchen cabin has more than one stove and four large stoves. After nearly two hundred people board the ship, the cooking time will not be delayed.
There were two stoves. Lei Yiwen occupied one and cooked the dried vegetables and other things she brought with her. Standing next to the other stove were Yu Wuluo, Hongxia and the two ladies-in-law, helping her.
A big fish, longer than an adult's arm, was nailed to a chopping board with a sharp knife. The fish was motionless and had fallen to death.
Yu Wuluo held a kitchen knife in his hand, peeling off the skin of the fish, and was scraping the flesh of the fish into the mud with the speed of an afterimage.
Yu Wu, who has incomparable sword skills, has a pair of hands that practice swordsmanship. After a while, there is a layer of fish paste on the knife. He gently wipes it with his fingers and drops it into the bowl. Hongxia pats the ginger, squeezes the ginger juice, adds salt to the fish paste, and the mother-in-law
They lit the fire, and the water in the large pot boiled in the stove. Under the red clouds, the fish paste was formed into balls. In a short time, the water in the large pot was covered. The fish balls would become old after being cooked for a long time. They would soon be fished out. Lei Fengfeng, who stood beside him eagerly, laughed.
Xiao Hua Ya, given a big noodle bowl, will make his mouth water with joy.
Yu Wuluo is not slow, and Hongxia adds seasonings directly before cooking, which is relatively easy, but it is still the same speed as Lei Fengfeng eats fish balls.
The speed at which General Xiaoba eats is certainly in line with the speed at which the generals in the border towns march.
After finishing the bowl like a thunderstorm, he happily stretched out the big noodle bowl. The fish balls in the pot were just cooked. Yes, it was his again. He was eating happily alone.
The aggrieved Gao Shan next to him calmed down a little in front of brother Xiao Yu, and started talking to Zhao Ting Gong: "Lei Xiao Ba, please make my brother Ting Gong's legs weak from hunger."
Zhao Tinggong also came after smelling the fragrance. After hearing the words, he stood up straighter and said that his legs were not weak and he would not argue with children.
However, these fish balls are really delicious, and they are made by fifth brother Yu himself.
Although Zhao Tinggong kept his figure away from himself, his face could not help but salivate.
Gao Shan glared at Lei Fengqi in displeasure, "Just take care of your brother, he eats alone and lets everyone watch."
Lei Fengqi was only happy that Yu Wuluo was willing to cook with his own hands. Even if he didn't eat, it was a supreme enjoyment for him. He was satisfied just looking at it.
The eyes of the mountains have fallen outside this contentment.
Yu Chijun shouted: "Hey, it's so rare to cook for just one penny."
The big sleeves of the robe are rolled up, and the dishes and chopsticks are taken out in an exaggerated manner, making a clanking sound.
Gao Shan was furious, and he found a way to vent his anger. He said disdainfully: "It would be embarrassing if you sneak attack on the enemy camp with such movement."
Yuchi ignored him.
When Guiziguan was in the border city, Yuchijun didn't confront Gao Shan very much, and Gao Shan stopped provoking him. Only the brothers and sisters of the Lei family who grew up together would quarrel with Gao Shan, and their relationship with Gao Shan was not very good.
.
"It's delicious, Yi Wen's recipe is the best." Yuchijun cheered.
"Fifth brother and sister make the most delicious food!" Lei Fengfeng replied loudly, still not delaying his eating quickly, and the mountain was still out of his reach.
Yu Chijun glared: "Yi Wen did well."
Lei Fengfeng held his head high and replied: "Fifth brother and sister are good!"
The two of them exchanged words with each other, and after eating the food in each hand, Yu Wuluo thought of smiling and said: "Eating without speaking."
Yuchijun put down his bowl, and Lei Fengfeng was also obedient.
Gao Shanqi's eyes were filled with stars, and he said, "Are you full? You are finally willing to put down the bowl."
Turning around, he complained to Yu Wuluo: "Brother, now you know what kind of life I lived in Zhaoyong County Prince's Mansion, picking up leftovers all day long."
Lei Fengqi, three sisters Lei Yiwen, Lei Fengqi came over with angry eyes: "Then you are still so tall!"
Gaoshan is small inland, but not short among his tribe.
Lei Fengqi and others forgot to explain that they didn’t give Gao Shan any leftovers. It’s not normal to cook a pot of rice, first and then later. According to past quarrel habits, it’s most important to gain the upper hand first, otherwise who knows what Gao Shan can say.
What.
Gao Shan's chest rose and fell, as if he was getting infinitely more angry, but Zhao Tinggong on the side felt that this snatching of food was so funny that he couldn't help laughing, and pulled Gao Shan to persuade him: "Don't be angry, haha, are you and Brother Bao snatching it? Haha,
Are you trying to rob your fiancée? Haha... you, Lao Gao, usually have a good eye for you,"
"Brother Bao, if the fish are gone, go fishing again." Yu Wuluo said again.
"I'll go." Lei Fengqi walked out of the kitchen, and Lei Fengqi followed.
Yu Chijun said seriously: "Hey, my uncle went too, but he didn't stay to help. Yi Wen, why is that?"
Lei Yiwen held back his laughter: "Fifth brother said fishing."
"Oh, fifth brother said that if you want to go fishing, you should go there with wings." Yu Chijun's face was still quite serious.
