Chapter 144 Eating Hot Pot

Chapter 144 Eating Hot Pot

After Emperor Xian entered the city, he gave Ye Xiao the title of charioteer and general, but Ye Xiao refused the official reward, because Ye Xiao felt that being an official was not suitable for him.

Winter passed in a blink of an eye, the snow began to melt, and spring came quietly.

The people who participated in the agricultural plan last time also began to enter their own fields to cultivate, and Ye Xiao also began to send people to explore the ore veins in Yuzhou.

After experiencing the Lu Wenlou Rebellion, the entire family in Yuzhou was basically cleaned up by Ye Xiao. Although Ye Xiao took over a lot of mining from the family, it was far from meeting his needs for development.

Ye Xiao's goal is to make all the people in Yingchuan County use Quyuanli, not only that, he also wants to make Yingchuan a major trade center in the Central Plains.

Since Ye Xiao welcomed Emperor Xian, Wang Yun suggested to Ye Xiao more than once that Ye Xiao should hand over his soldiers to Emperor Xian for management.

Ye Xiao naturally knew what Wang Yunan was thinking, and he would naturally not agree. Wang Yun resolutely broke off relations with Ye Xiao after repeated persuasion to no avail.

What is ridiculous is that although Wang Yun severed ties with Ye Xiao, he did not move out of the mansion Ye Xiao gave him.

Faced with Wang Yun's unreasonable troubles, Ye Xiao just smiled. In Ye Xiao's eyes, as long as the military power is firmly grasped, these people can make trouble as they like.

One day, Ye Xiao sent Fu Bo to ask him to invite Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to the mansion, saying that he was inviting Emperor Xian to eat hot pot.

Emperor Xian had never eaten hot pot, so he thought it was novel and agreed at the time, but this matter was opposed by Dong Cheng and others.

"Your Majesty, this Ye Xiao is ambitious, and I'm afraid eating hot pot this time is trying to harm you."

Emperor Xian was furious when he heard what Dong Cheng said.

"Then what do you say? Let's run out again?! Besides, if Ye Xiao wanted to kill me, he would have killed me long ago. Why bother?!"

Facing Emperor Xian's reprimand, Dong Cheng stopped dissuading him, and soon Emperor Xian came to Ye Xiao's home.

Emperor Xian asked curiously when he saw the iron pot on Ye Xiao's stove.

"Ai Qing, don't you know what this is?"

"Pot, pot for eating."

"I don't know how to use it?"

"You look good."

I saw Ye Xiao directing Fu Bo to let him throw the mutton oil he had prepared before into the pot, and then let Fu Bo throw cornel, cinnamon, star anise, and peppercorns.

When the iron pot boiled, Ye Xiao asked Fu Bo to throw the mutton and pork that had been prepared in advance into the pot, and at the same time asked Fu Bo to bring out the seasonings that had been prepared in advance.

Ye Xiao adjusted the seasoning by himself, and then found that Emperor Xian was standing there in a daze, so he said.

"You can come up with what you like to eat, you are welcome."

Hearing this, Dong Cheng almost recited it angrily, and said immediately.

"Ye Xiao, you are presumptuous!"

Ye Xiao was not happy when he heard this, and immediately said: "I invite your Majesty to come down to dinner, it is a meal between friends, have you ever seen a friend who has a meal and another friend serves?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you be friends with someone like you?"

Ye Xiao didn't want to argue with Dong Cheng, so he immediately said: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Your Majesty didn't say anything, you're just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!"

"you……"

Seeing what Dong Cheng was about to say, Emperor Xian stretched out his hand to stop Dong Cheng.

"Okay, Dong Aiqing, General Ye also said, it's a meal between friends, I'll come by myself."

Emperor Xian came to Ye Xiao with a bowl and started seasoning.

"Your Majesty, don't call me General, just call me Ye Xiao. I said today is a meal between friends, not outsiders."

Emperor Xian was silent for a while when he heard Ye Xiao say this.

"Alright, General Ye. Ye Xiao."

"Oh, yes, the hot pot is almost ready, let's get ready to eat."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he picked up a piece of meat from the pot, dipped it in the seasoning and ate it, and Emperor Xian learned to eat after seeing this.

"Well, this tastes just right."

"That's right, I, Ye Xiao, won't lie."

Ye Xiao said and patted Emperor Xian on the shoulder. This scene was seen by Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng shook his head angrily and said that there is no king, no father, no respect, and Ye Xiao is eating happily at this time. Hear Dong Cheng's words.

How can you eat hot pot without drinking? Under Ye Xiao's signal, Uncle Fu brought out the wine Ye Xiao brewed himself.

"Ye Xiao, this wine smells so good, what is it made of?"

"I did it myself."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he poured a glass of wine and drank it down, and Emperor Xian also poured a glass and drank it down when he saw this.

"Ah, good wine, I have never had such a good wine in the palace."

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you a question."

Ye Xiao put down his wine glass and looked at Emperor Xian and said.

"General Ye, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Your Majesty, if I give you these soldiers, what are you going to do?"

When Emperor Xian heard this, the chopsticks in his hand that were about to pick up the meat stopped, and he thought for a while and said.

"If I have a strong soldier like General Ye, then I must kill Li Jue and others first, and then calm down the other princes."

Ye Xiao looked at Emperor Xian and took a sip of wine and said.

"What about after peace?"

"After peace, reduce taxes, lighten corvees, and create a prosperous world!"

"Your Majesty thinks about prosperity too simply. Which one of Hanwu and Guangwu is not the wise king who created the prosperity, but what about after their death? Many people have the ambition of Hanwu and Guangwu, but how many people have achieved it? I dare to say , even if His Majesty obtains Ye’s military power and creates a prosperous age, the world will still be in chaos within a hundred years.”

Hearing this, Dong Cheng took a step forward and said, "What does General Ye think is causing the chaos in the world?"

Ye Xiao turned his head and glanced at Dong Cheng, said two words lightly: "Aristocratic family!"

Dong Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "Nonsense, how can the world be governed without a family, and now that eunuchs are in power and people complain, the big man would have died long ago."

Dong Cheng said this excitedly and completely forgot that Han Xiandi was still around, and Ye Xiao said with a cold smile after hearing this.

"Didn't the Shi Changshi Rebellion not be won by the family? Since the family won, why is the world still in chaos?"

Ye Xiao's sharp words made Dong Cheng speechless, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered a sentence.

"This...that's because He Jin is stupid!"

"You are right. It is because of his stupidity that the world is in chaos today. Isn't Emperor Huanling stupid? When they were in power, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that made these prefects Shou has the right to recruit private soldiers."

"How dare you insult the late emperor..."

"Mr. Dong, you are still unwilling to admit the disadvantages of family talk?"

"The restoration of enfeoffment will make the world even more chaotic."

Dong Cheng stared angrily at Ye Xiao and roared, at this moment Emperor Xian got up and angrily reprimanded Dong Chengdao.

"Okay, Dong Aiqing, General Ye called me here to eat, not to listen to your quarrel."

With Emperor Xian's shout, the dinner ended unhappy.
