The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 172: Lure or assassination

"The so-called leniency for confession," Liu Zhenhua stared at the two of them, "your behavior is called attempted theft. I hope you will take the initiative to confess and get leniency."

Liu Zhenhua tapped the table with one finger.

The words made Wang Er and Wang Jiayin's tense bodies suddenly relax.

There was an expression of relief on their faces. As long as they were not executed directly, they could accept any punishment.

"You are all local warriors. If your achievements in training are erased, you will be promoted to heavenly soldiers in the future. You must kill enemies or establish military merit through other methods, and the number of enemy kills must be more than six."

Liu Zhenhua said, the punishment made it difficult for these two people to be promoted to heavenly soldiers.

However, what Liu Zhenhua's men look forward to most is to become heavenly soldiers, which is a relatively severe punishment for them.

Wang Er and Wang Jiayin already know that one of the conditions for eating those foods is to become a heavenly soldier or an official.

The most direct way for ordinary people to improve is to become a heavenly soldier.

Liu Zhenhua's punishment for them is that the process of becoming a heavenly soldier is more difficult than others.

This kind of punishment is completely acceptable to them. It's just for killing enemies. They killed a lot of enemies in the first place.

You have to have both hands to count.

Right now it's just starting from scratch.

"Thank you, Kitchen King, for the punishment."

Wang Jiayin took the lead and kowtowed, and Wang Er followed closely and shouted.

"Go down."

Liu Zhenhua waved his hands and said that he had to consider the next direction of attack.

There is a capital city of Qingyang in the southwest, and I don't know if the newly appointed governor of the three sides is still there.

According to the fact that the previous Trilateral Governor was dismissed after his defeat, this Trilateral Governor will probably not be in office for long.

While Liu Zhenhua was thinking, Gao Yingxiang had already pulled Wang Er and Wang Jiayin outside.

After walking out of the county government office, Wang Jiayin and Wang Er looked at Gao Yingxiang, "Brother Yingxiang, you are so unreasonable. After you found out that the Stove King is a real god, you didn't even tell us."

Wang Jiayin broke the awkward atmosphere and said.

After all, they would have to work together under the Kitchen King in the future, and Gao Yingxiang was now considered a high-ranking official under the Kitchen King.

This is also the reason why Wang Jiayin added the word "brother" after his name. He couldn't call him Brother Yingxiang, so he could only do so.

Gao Yingxiang didn't feel like he was an official now. He looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on his face, "When did I find out that the Stove King is a real god?"

From what they said, it seemed that he found out that the Kitchen King was a true god, and then he defected to the Kitchen King.

Wang Jiayin and Wang Er looked at each other in astonishment, "If you didn't notice, then why did you defect to the Kitchen King so quickly?"

Gao Yingxiang shook his head, "The Stove King wins the hearts of the people because that's what the people want. You don't want to go into camp. You might as well just think about how to become a heavenly soldier."

He is now a heavenly soldier and enjoying the treatment of a heavenly soldier. Gao Yingxiang admires and fears the Stove King even more.

After that, Gao Yingxiang turned around and left, leaving Wang Jiayin and Wang Er looking at each other slightly awkwardly.

Chen Qiyu and Wu Yan looked with relief at the eunuch who read out the imperial edict in front of them.

The emperor did not blame him for the failure and even dismissed him.

The emperor even raised money and food for him to reorganize his troops, and he was promoted to governor of five provinces. This was something that had never happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

He controlled five provinces, occupying almost one-third of the Ming Dynasty, and all came under his jurisdiction.

This made Chen Qiyu a little excited, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

Can he really take on this important task? Will he live up to His Majesty's expectations?

After the eunuch left, Chen Qiyu sat behind the desk and sighed repeatedly.

Wu Yan on the side guessed why Chen Qiyu sighed, and he quickly said, "Governor Chen, instead of sighing, it is better to think about how to deal with the Stove King."

The emperor recognized Chen Qiyu's achievements, so he gave Chen Qiyu greater rights. Wu Di saw it clearly, and he also hoped that Chen Qiyu could successfully annihilate the Kitchen King.

This bandit was simply a serious concern of the Ming Dynasty, even worse than the Liao people in the north.

Chen Qiyu slowly turned his head and sighed deeply, "Oh, I also know about this, but I racked my brains and couldn't think of a way to defeat the Stove King."

"The governor of the five provinces sent troops to the Kitchen King to surround and attack him?"

Wu Di tried to give some of his own opinions.

"useless."

"The Stove King has that magical weapon. One person can withstand thousands of troops."

The deep fear in Zhang Bojing's eyes has been lingering in Chen Qiyu's mind.

Chen Qiyu even felt that Zhang Bojing wanted to take refuge with the Kitchen King. Being able to make a loyal minister change his mind in fear showed how terrifying the magical weapons that the Kitchen King sacrificed that day were. Such weapons were really beyond the capabilities of human beings. Victory?

"If the Kitchen King is really so powerful, he would have annexed the land in Qin long ago. Why is he still living in a corner?"

"Kitchen King, there must be some weakness that we don't know about, but when it comes to fighting, there will always be weaknesses," Wu Di looked at Chen Qiyu and said.

Chen Qiyu was inspired by Wu Zong's words and immediately walked out from behind the desk. He looked out the door, "That's good, but I don't believe it. Everyone has the Stove King's magical weapon and everyone can use it."

"One general's achievements have led to thousands of bones drying up. The emperor promoted me to the governor of the five provinces just to get rid of the Stove King, even if he wants to heap human lives, he will pile them up."

Chen Qiyu walked to the back of the desk, picked up paper and pen, "I want to report to the Emperor."

"Oh?"

Wu Yan came around and came to Chen Qiyu's side.

"In the five provinces, no, even in the capital and other places, criminals, those who will be sentenced to death, and those who are exiled will be the vanguard. They are promised huge profits. If they successfully capture the Stove King, their past crimes will be wiped off."

Chen Qiyu wrote it down.

Wu Di nodded in agreement, "The Holy One should allow it."

One Kitchen King was a greater threat and harm to the Ming Dynasty than tens of millions of people who had committed capital crimes.

This is something that can truly overturn the Ming Dynasty.

He said that since ancient times, the leading soldiers in sieges and other attacks have been this kind of people. Those who have committed crimes will die.

How could the emperor not agree to using these people to deal with the Kitchen King now?

"Even if the emperor doesn't want to, I will still use it," Chen Qiyu said with a serious face.

The emperor not only did not blame him when he failed, but also promoted him to the governor of the five provinces, which gave Chen Qiyu the urge to "repay the emperor's favor on the golden stage and support the Jade Dragon to die for the emperor."

In order to win, you can take off his black gauze hat or even his head.

Wu Yan took a deep look at Chen Qiyu and said, "I will truthfully report these words to the emperor."

"Go ahead, it's your responsibility."

Chen Qiyu didn't even raise his head to look at Wu Yan.

After writing a memorial, he immediately started writing again, "In addition to these, we also need to mobilize soldiers and horses from the five provinces. When they arrive, we will distribute the money and food brought by the emperor this time." This time the five provinces encircled and suppressed, look at the Kitchen King How to deal with it.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at the commander of the Jinyi Guards in front of him, "How are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Stove King's team has easily penetrated, and my subordinates have also brought accurate information."

"read."

"Kitchen King, he really has the art of transformation. Three times a day, he can transform at least two thousand foods each time. In the morning, there are tea eggs, which are eggs boiled with black tea, and white porridge. When the chopsticks are inserted into the bowl, they will not fall over. There are Preserved egg, lean meat and vegetable porridge, preserved egg, made from duck eggs, pork, vegetables and white rice, with pickles, the ingredients are unknown. There is more pig's trotter rice at noon, which is made from fish, pig's trotters, etc., the rest remains unchanged, and is eaten later than the morning meal ."

"There are two magic weapons that can be controlled by two people. They can destroy a piece of grass people dozens of meters away. They weigh two stones and are difficult to carry. This thing must be the one displayed by the Kitchen King when he attacked Ganquan in the past."

"The magic stick is also the transformation of the Kitchen King."

"Therefore, my subordinates speculate that the Kitchen King can not only transform food, but also weapons, armor, and horses."

"The Stove King has won the hearts of the people because of his skill in transformation."

After Jiang Xin finished reading, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes looking up and down made him a little timid. This was the person who sent Wei Zhongxian to the underworld. His wealth and life depended on Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts.

He knew what was the reason for this scrutinizing look. To be honest, when he first saw this secret message that was less than the size of a palm, his first reaction was some disbelief.

Can there be such a magical person in the world?

The art of transformation is difficult to fake, and what's more, the things that are transformed are too shocking.

Some eggs boiled with tea leaves, some special duck eggs.

What pig's trotters.

Three meals a day, thousands of people can eat such luxurious meals. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, he has some wealth, but he cannot bear to eat like this.

Even the emperor probably wouldn't eat it this way. There are many rare things among the delicacies of mountains and seas, but I have never heard of boiling eggs with tea leaves.

The most important thing is that the spy he inserted has very good eyesight. If the Kitchen King really uses any blinding method, he will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of his men.

Therefore, Kitchen King is real.

As for whether his men would betray, it was impossible. These people were almost all dead soldiers, and nothing could make them betray themselves and the emperor.

Not even gods can.

Emperor Chongzhen obviously knew this. He personally brought these people here. The previous batch of Jin Yiwei were almost all Wei Zhongxian's lackeys.

It has been knocked out by him.

These people are absolutely loyal.

He chewed on the news brought by Jiang Xin.

The Kitchen King's ability to change so many things cannot only be explained by talented people and strange people. The most important thing is that such people, if they cannot be used by him, can definitely pull out a huge army in a short period of time. of mob teams.

He also knew about the situation in Qinzhong, where famine was serious.

How tempting is a person who can conjure countless foods to those victims of the disaster.

What frightened him the most was that weapons that he could not create with all his efforts were also transformed. The man also guessed that the Kitchen King could not only transform food, but also weapons, horses, and armor.

The Kitchen King can not only bring out a mob, but also an army.

This made Emperor Chongzhen feel uneasy.

The only good thing is that the words the person used in the secret message were just guesswork.

However, just the large amount of food that sounded extremely luxurious was already shocking to him.

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to get rid of the Kitchen King directly, assassinate, poison, etc.

There are many ways. According to the commander of the Jinyiwei, the Kitchen King's team can easily sneak in and there is almost no defense.

However, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to take such a magical person under his command.

He saw the decline of his Ming Dynasty, and he wanted to be the emperor who made the Ming Dynasty glorious again. This process inevitably required more talents.

And the Kitchen King is obviously such a talented person. With such a talented person in his hands, will there be a famine in the future? Will there be a shortage of war horses? Lack of weapons?

Not to mention ZTE, it would be easy to surpass the previous emperor.

"Check, keep checking, check this Kitchen King's past, check this Kitchen King's weaknesses, power, beauty, money, etc. I want the Kitchen King to be used by me."

"Or, see if we can kidnap the Kitchen King."

Emperor Chongzhen clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hold everything in his hands.

"Yes."

Jiang Xin cupped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor believed the news brought by his men, so that's good.

"Go do it."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand.

Jiang Xin responded, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stopped Jiang Xin, who quickly turned his head.

"If it really doesn't work, nothing can tempt him, and if the governor I sent is defeated, we will find a way to kill him, assassinate him, or poison him. You should be aware of these things."

Emperor Chongzhen said, the threat from the Kitchen King was too great.

If the governors of the five provinces are defeated.

Then, there is a high probability that just as the inspector said, the whole country will be mobilized.

That would be too costly, and it would be better to assassinate him directly.

Emperor Chongzhen was very puzzled that such a person could sneak into the team so easily.

However, this is also a good thing. Jin Yiwei's assassination ability is already strong.

The Kitchen King neglected to manage his subordinates and didn't take any precautions at all.

"Go."

After Jiang Xin left, Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath. His eyes were a little hesitant. Regarding the Stove King, he thought of the allusion of visiting the thatched cottage three times.

Such a talent is actually worthy of his "three visits to the thatched cottage".

"Does it mean that you want me to invite him and influence him with sincerity?"

Emperor Chongzhen secretly thought that he really wanted the Ming Dynasty to regain its former glory in his hands.

"Let's see first if we can induce him with benefits."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed. If he could take down the Kitchen King with advantage, that would be the best. If not, he might want to follow the allusions.

However, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty in the allusion was just a mat weaver and shoe seller at that time, and as a majestic emperor, he really couldn't lose face to do such a thing.
