The emperor frowned and asked, "Is it possible that this is a live fish? It's simply vulgar."

Pei Liang said, "Your Majesty, the skin of this fish has only been lightly fried to remove the fishy smell, and the spinal nerves have not been damaged. Therefore, before eating, you can still see a fresh reaction of escaping from the fish, which actually does not hinder eating."

"After being soaked in this hot gravy for a few more breaths, if the emperor looks at it again, it will be thoroughly cooked and extremely tender inside, and it is ready to be eaten."

But the emperor had no intention of eating it. The thought of how the fish was cooked made him sick to his stomach.

He said: "Take it down, take it down, this thing is so despicable that it cannot be used as a place of elegance."

Then he looked at Shi Feiyu: "What do you think, Shi Aiqing?"

However, Shi Feiyu also poked at the live fried fish in front of him, seeming to be very interested in the way the fish panicked and entered the water.

Immediately he understood what Pei Liang meant, and after hearing the emperor's words, he nodded: "It is really unreasonable that a vulgar and obscene thing should be placed in the most noble case in the world."

The emperor's face looked better after hearing Shi Feiyu cater to him and ridicule his woman.

He exchanged glances with several favored ministers, revealing a sense of satisfaction in regaining his authority.

Wei Yingshu felt happy when she saw Pei Liang's dishes being taken away in despair, and she glanced at Pei Liang.

In front of the emperor and many important ministers, she was so humiliated and even ridiculed by the division general. This scene actually made her feel bad.

Calculating it this way, it was nothing that she had been criticized by many common people repeatedly by this bitch. After all, those untouchables couldn't really do anything to her.

Here, Pei Liang's head is in danger.

Then the second dish was served.

Wei Yingshu presented a dish of roasted quail.

Although the grilled quail is not big, the skin looks crispy and juicy. The quail is not made into skewers, but grilled whole.

Its shape is complete, its interior is full, and it has none of the shortcomings of ordinary grilled quail skin and dried meat. The small quail is plump and juicy, and it looks and feels full of meat.

Seeing this, the emperor asked: "Oh? This dish seems to be nothing new. Isn't it true that Wei's chef has run out of skills recently?"

Wei Yingshu knew that the emperor was teasing him, so he smiled, stepped forward and turned the quail over.

The quail looked like the fish Pei Liang had just seen, as if it had not yet been disemboweled and taken to the water.

But Wei Yingshu cut it open with a knife and fork, and the space that was already filled with the smell of roasted birds' skin and meat was filled with an overbearing richness.

The roasted aroma of the birds mixed with the strong freshness brings the olfactory enjoyment to a higher level, making people go crazy after smelling it.

Looking again, from the plump quail belly, various kinds of sea cucumber and abalone wings with thick soup slowly flowed out. Each one was covered with translucent gravy, which made people move their index fingers.

A small dish of grilled quail turned into such a luxurious delicacy in an instant.

The emperor laughed: "Wonderful, it turns out that there is a universe inside. In the end, I underestimated Chef Wei."

"What is the name of this dish?"

Wei Yingshu glanced at Shi Feiyu again and said softly: "This dish is called Andu Chencang."

The emperor nodded, smiled at Shi Feiyu and said, "This dish reminds me of something, what do you think it is, Shi Aiqing?"

Shi Feiyu looked like he didn't know what was going on: "I don't dare to speculate on the thoughts of your Majesty."

The smile on the emperor's face became a little colder, and he said: "When the Northern Barbarians made the surprise attack, the items in Aiqing's army had not yet been decorated and sent out."

"I thought that the Northern Barbarian Army had chosen this moment to sneak attack cunningly, and the resistance to the Northern Army was in danger, but unexpectedly, not only did Ai Qing hold on to the city gate, but during the months of fighting, the battle report never asked for reinforcements or food."

"I had known that Ai Qing was the undefeated God of War of the day, and it was a great blessing for the country to have Ai Qing. But I didn't expect that Ai Qing was actually capable of cooking without rice."

"With Ai Qing as an invincible army that costs nothing, I'm afraid our country will no longer have to worry about war."

Pei Liang almost laughed when he heard the emperor say this. It is true that the hereditary system of the feudal dynasty has led to all kinds of weird emperors.

With this emperor in mind, Sichuan, Jian and Guo can be said to be good at talking.

He wouldn't even wipe his ass clean before settling accounts after autumn. While questioning Shi Feiyu's doubts about the origin of the grain and grass supplies, he also had the nerve to reveal that he had not thought about dispatching grain and grass reinforcements for several months.

People are fighting for you to protect the royal capital in front of you. If you don't write a battle report and ask for food and grass, you will feel at ease and refuse to give it. Afterwards, you will blame others for not even asking for food and grass. Such self-sufficiency may make you want to rebel.

Pei Liang has seen a lot of backstabbing of heroes, even in the business world, this kind of thing is not uncommon. But he has never seen such a trick, and even his words are inconsistent.

But the emperor didn't think so. His eyes turned cold when he looked at Shi Feiyu, and the faces of the surrounding ministers also turned cold.

Silent questions enveloped Shi Feiyu, forcing him to confess his innocence.

But Shi Feiyu still said lightly: "It turns out that the battle report did not mention reinforcements and food and grass? Maybe I forgot."

"After all, I had submitted the memorial several times in the three months before the war, but it had not yet been delivered the day before the war. The military situation was urgent during the war, and I really couldn't wait for such a time."

"Thanks to the enthusiastic people in Beijing and the generous donations of clothes and food from charitable wealthy businessmen, they helped the anti-Northern Army overcome this disaster."

Shi Feiyu looked at the emperor and his subordinate Minister of Revenue: "But Your Majesty, Minister Yu, the efficiency of the dispatch of this Department of Revenue is not as good as that of a mere civil organization."

"I don't need to say more about the reasons for the defeat at the beginning of this battle. These people who detained military supplies and delayed military flights can actually sit here with peace of mind and enjoy this celebration feast."

Shi Feiyu looked at the emperor with an aggressive gaze: "I thought that after my class returned to the court, those guilty officials who had meddles in military supplies and almost led to irreversible consequences should have been liquidated, or at least they should have resigned.

And they are still shy enough to live here.”

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly. He was the first to deny the strategy. A large part of the military expenditure was also used to build the hot spring resort.

Shi Feiyu talked about the settlement here, and it was clear that he was using the topic to accuse him.

It is impossible for the emperor to do anything wrong. What is wrong is only being deceived by those around you, or you yourself did not persist in persuading him.

So the emperor smiled coldly: "Shi Ai Qing has been fighting for several months, but after returning to the court, he has no time to spare. He also helps me to sort out the merits and demerits of the ministers in the court. He is really the pillar of the country, and he has devoted his whole life."

Shi Feiyu smiled: "Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister, so what are your plans?"

"Although this is a celebration banquet for the great victory in the Anti-Beijing War, my teacher is not the kind of person who just wants to show off his ugliness by singing and dancing for a moment."

As he spoke, it seemed as if he was forcing the emperor to deal with the ministers on the spot.

How could those ministers be willing to do so?

Today's Hongmen Banquet was originally set up for Shi Feiyu, to restrain this man of great skill. Who would have thought that he would be so arrogant, not knowing how to show weakness by taking advantage of the situation, and using the opportunity to reach a balanced consensus.

He actually dared to put pressure on the emperor directly and wanted to take away their glory. This hatred was like killing his parents.

Then a minister said in a cold voice: "Master Shihou is well-educated, but now the general situation is more majestic than when our ancestors founded the country."

Master Shihou broke into a cold sweat and quickly gave Shi Feiyu a signal.

Shi Feiyu said, "Master Sun is from a humble background, how can he see the power of the ancestors of my master's family?"

"you--"

"That's enough!" the emperor said, and glanced at Shi Feiyu coldly: "The court has already dealt with the matter of delaying the military plane. The corpse of a vegetarian has been dismissed and beheaded. It has been dealt with according to the seriousness of the crime, so there is no need for you to worry.

.”

Shi Feiyu nodded, but before the emperor finished speaking, he said: "Since this is the case, I can rest assured."

"Let's continue the cooking review over there. Don't let Chef Pei's dishes lose their flavor because of this."

The emperor choked and saw the eunuch uncovering Pei Liang's dish.

They were also a few roasted objects with strange shapes. When I looked at how they were being processed, I saw that they were about the size of a quail, but the presentation was unusual.

But it stood up.

When grilled, it turns into a fragrant caramel color. The meat looks plump and charred on the outside, tender on the inside.

It's just that those baked goods are not only standing, but also holding a spherical object in each hand, which looks a bit weird.

The emperor became more and more disgusted, and felt that Shi Feiyu's taste was also vulgar, and he was actually getting involved with such an unworthy woman.

Then he smiled contemptuously and asked: "I have tasted all the delicacies in the world, but I can't figure out what this is."

"What's the mystery behind Chef Pei's dish?"

Pei Liang said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, this is made from carefully selected rat meat and roasted. The rat head is the essence of the body. It's a pity to discard it. So I wrapped it in flour and fried it until golden brown and placed it in the rat's arm."

"Your Majesty, please taste it."

The emperor's whole scalp was numb. Thinking that he had pricked it with his chopsticks, he only felt itchy and nauseated all over his body.

The eunuch beside him naturally understood the holy intention, and when he saw this, he said in a sharp voice: "How brave! How dare you present such filthy and dirty things to disturb the holy face."

"Come here, drag this girl down."

The Ouchi guards were about to move when they heard Shi Feiyu loudly say: "Bold eunuch, the emperor is very happy because of the victory in the war. He is in high spirits and acts as a judge to invite the people to join in the fun. It's just because of the special food and he was surprised for a moment."

"Why are you disturbing His Majesty's mood by making such noise?"

This dared to directly distort the holy will, and the emperor had a serious flash of murderous intent.

But he dismissed the eunuch and blamed him for making a fuss: "Nowadays, the people are suffering. As the emperor, I should take the lead in everything. However, the common people can eat only rat meat, so why can't I?"

Then he waved his hand and signaled the palace maid to add wine to the ministers: "Dear ladies, please come and taste this unique delicacy with me."

Everyone looked ugly, as if they were blaming Shi Feiyu for being troublesome, so someone raised a toast: "I would like to toast the general. If it weren't for the general, we might not be able to taste the flavor of rat meat in this life."

Shi Feiyu raised his glass: "That's easy to say!"

Just as he was about to take a sip, Wei Yingshu suddenly said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has the last dish. Any further delay may affect its flavor. Can you serve it first?"
