"This is the famous dish of Wu'an South Country: sugarcane shrimp, please visit the country." After beating Zheng Jie away, Shunde King Mo Jingyu was very happy, so he invited Zhu Hengjia to a feast.
"Hmm! It's wonderful! It's crispy in the mouth and has a refreshing sweetness and fragrance. Don't know how to make it?" Zhu Hengjia was not polite.
The imperial chef who was waiting on the side hurriedly answered: "This dish is made by mincing the shelled fresh shrimp meat, beating it into shrimp glue, wrapping it on sugar cane branches and frying it in a pot. Hence the name sugarcane shrimp."

"Oh! The skin is golden and crispy, and the shrimp meat has absorbed the sweetness of the sugar cane. It is fragrant, fresh, tender, and sweet. It's delicious!" Zhu Hengjia is a big foodie.
"Jian Guo, this dish is called Fried Elephant Fish. It is also a famous dish in the southern country of Wu'an. The elephant fish is only slightly larger than the palm of your hand. After deep-fried, it is crispy and delicious. The wonderful thing is that the fish bones are so soft that they melt in your mouth. Please!"
"This dish can only be found in heaven, how many times can we try it on earth!" Zhu Hengjia praised it.
"Try this duck egg again. Take a half-hatched duck egg and cook it. It must be a half-hatched egg. One day more or less will not work."
"Oh, how do you know the day when the eggs are hatched?"
"Reporting to the Supervisor, I will send someone to record the egg from the first day it hatched from the mother duck. Make sure it is taken out for cooking when it is half-hatched."
"Oh! It's not easy to eat delicious food!"
It was a great time eating delicious food and drinking Annan rice wine! Soon the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
"I'm drunk. I'm so moved by the Commander-in-Chief's deep affection. Tomorrow I'll invite the Commander-in-Chief and all the generals back to the military camp. Everyone must be there, no one should be missing. Otherwise, I won't give you face!"
When saying goodbye, Zhu Hengjia said happily.
??
Looking at the invitation sent by Zhu Hengjia, General Shi Qi advised Mo Jingyu: "Your Majesty, the king of Jingjiang, who oversees the country, actually led his troops to Annan himself. I am afraid that he has no good intentions. Why don't you excuse yourself because of your illness?
The prince will do the work for you."
"Shut up! I invited the supervisor to dinner, and the supervisor came in person. Now the supervisor invites me back, wouldn't it be rude if I don't go?" Mo Jingyu flatly refused.
"Then please, Your Majesty, bring more armored soldiers and drink less alcohol at the banquet."
"You! You are really worried. The supervisor came to my place for a banquet and only brought 300 people. If I bring more troops, doesn't it mean that I don't trust the supervisor and hurt the brotherhood between the supervisor and me?" When I mentioned this,
Mo Jingyu was moved. Zhu Hengjia went to his place to have a meal. He only brought three hundred guards with him. He ate and drank without guarding himself. He really regarded himself as a brother! No, he couldn't bring too many people with him, otherwise
The imprisoned country looks down upon it.
"Your Majesty!" Shi Wei wanted to persuade again.
Mo Jingyu interrupted him: "How can the great empire of heaven tolerate our small country? Don't say anything more!"
Shi Wei sighed and had no choice but to give up.
??
When he heard that Mo Jingyu was coming to the banquet, Zhu Hengjia had the door opened and went to greet him personally.
"The envoy of the capital please!"
"Please supervise the country!"
The two laughed loudly, and Zhu Hengjia took Mo Jingyu's arm and walked into the tent. They were really closer than brothers! They also asked the general to take Mo Jingyu's personal guards to the rear camp to eat meat and drink, so happy!
"Jianguo, what's the name of this dish?" Mo Guoyu asked curiously when he saw a soup made with cabbage, spinach leaves, sour tofu and chopped rice balls.
"The name of this dish is Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. It was created by Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu was having a hard time starting his own business. Once he was so hungry that he saw a peasant woman making this soup. After tasting it, she never forgot it. I served this soup first to show my appreciation.
Don’t forget Taizu’s wishes.”
"Oh! Jian Guo is such a loyal and filial person!" Mo Jingyu did not dare to neglect and quickly drank two mouthfuls of green vegetable and tofu soup.
“It tastes delicious!”
"If it tastes good, drink more!"
The dishes were served one after another, and they were all ordinary dishes, nothing more than chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits.
"Oh! Life in prison is so simple! I admire you!"
"Haha!" Zhu Hengjia smiled slightly: "Gu has always liked light food, and usually only eats white rice, pumpkin porridge and the like. Today, the commander-in-chief is here as a guest, so Gu Cai asked someone to prepare some chicken, duck and fish. This is not intentional.
Even if you neglect me, the commander-in-chief!"
"I don't dare to lower my rank!" Mo Jingyu kept shouting that he didn't dare.
The food was good, "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" plus chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and radish; the wine was good wine, Guilin Ruilu. The guests and hosts drank to their heart's content.
Suddenly, Zhu Hengjia saw that there was a general behind Mo Jingyu who did not drink. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why doesn't this general drink? Is it because he thinks Gu Gu's wine is not good?"
Mo Jingyu quickly replied: "My subordinate, General Shi Wei, is a man in the wilderness and does not know the etiquette of the heaven. Please forgive me."
Shi Wei also quickly stood up and apologized: "I have a despicable body and cannot bear the power of alcohol."
Zhu Hengjia sneered in his heart, but did not pursue the matter and continued to persuade him to eat and drink.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Hengjia suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh! Look at my memory! I actually forgot about two important guests."
Mo Jingyu was surprised: "Who else did the prison government invite?"
Zhu Hengjia clapped his hands: "Come on! I have a distinguished guest!"
The curtain of the big tent opened, and a noble lady wearing bright yellow palace clothes and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin walked in with a child of about ten years old.
This noble lady has an oval face, extremely white complexion, a pair of bright eyes, and a myriad of manners. There is a hint of youthfulness among all the amorous feelings, and there is also a charm that makes people unable to take their eyes away. It is Zhao Baolian and her son Mo
English.
Mo Jingyu asked curiously: "Jian Guo, who are these two?"
Zhu Hengjia responded loudly: "These two are Zhao Baolian, the concubine of King Wu'an of Mo Dynasty, and Mo Ying, grandson of King Wu'an of Mo Dynasty." After saying this, he dropped the wine glass, and a group of sword-wielding soldiers rushed into the tent.
When Mo Jingyu heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
"Eh? Why don't you, Commander-in-Chief, eat? A porridge and a meal are hard-earned, and I remember that we are struggling with material resources. Please!" Zhu Hengjia said jokingly.
Shi Wei was furious when he saw Mo Jingyu being humiliated. He drew his sword but was subdued by Zhu Hengjia's bodyguards who had been prepared for it. It turned out that Shi Wei was afraid of something unexpected and went to the banquet with a sharp knife hidden, but unfortunately he was outnumbered.
Zhu Hengjia secretly praised: This person is really loyal and brave!
After subduing everyone, Zhu Hengjia shouted and asked Mo Jingyu: "Mo Ying is the grandson of King Wu'an of the Mo Dynasty. I want to let Mo Ying succeed you as the commander-in-chief of Annan. Are you willing?"
People are slaves, but I am fish and meat. Mo Jingyu dare not disobey: "I am willing to give way to Mo Ying, I only hope that the prison country can spare my life and that of my family."
Zhu Hengjia's face turned red in a rare moment: "You have misunderstood! Gujue has no intention of harming your life. I have prepared thousands of acres of fertile land and a mansion for you in Taiping Mansion, Guangxi, and named you Taiping Bo. You will clean up after you return to Gaoping."
Come and enjoy the wealth and wealth in Taiping immediately!"
He also asked the generals: "Would you like to support Mo Ying, the grandson of King Wu'an, to the throne?"
Among the generals, Fu Sheng, Fu Tie, Nong Guihu and others had already been bribed by the Jinyiwei. They immediately knelt down to Zhao Baolian and Mo Ying and said: "The king is a thousand years old" and "The empress is a thousand years old." The other generals had no choice but to submit.
Zhao Baolian glanced at Zhu Hengjia, and suddenly felt that this ugly and dark man turned out to be handsome.
??
After Zhu Hengjia subdued Mo Jingyu, he left 20,000 Mo troops to surrender and 6,000 troops from Yang Wu's deputy general Zhou Conghu to repair the Taiyuan city wall and stay in Taiyuan. He personally led the army to control Gaoping.
The first thing he did after taking control of Gaoping was to loot the palace and treasury and use it as military pay. Later, Zhu Hengjia thought: Mo Yingxinli didn't leave any money to others, for fear that A Lian would be angry. He gritted his teeth and kept it.
Fifty thousand taels of silver were used to fund the activities of Mo's new regime.
In order to strengthen his control over Annam, Zhu Hengjia appointed Hu Zhigong as the governor of Annam, directly managing the newly captured Lang Son, Xin'an and Hong Kei prefectures and assisting Mo An's new regime in managing Gaoping and Taiyuan.
Each prefecture set up a magistrate, co-prefect, general judge, and garrison, with two thousand guards in each prefecture. He also ordered Yang Wu to be the commander-in-chief of Annan, with 22,000 troops under his command, leaving 16,000 men to guard the three newly acquired prefectures.
He sent his deputy general Zhou Conghu to lead 6,000 troops and 20,000 troops from the Mo family to surrender to defend Taiyuan. He also ordered the Zhao family in Longzhou to lead 2,000 troops to assist Mo Ying in defending Gaoping. The Zhao family in Longzhou was Zhao Baolian's maiden family. Asking the Zhao family to help defend Gaoping was
Zhao Baolian can rest assured that she has no intention of annexing the Gaoping Mo family.
On March 16, the 19th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the "Ming-Mozhi Friendship Peace Treaty" was signed. This was a peace treaty of equality, mutual assistance, peace and friendship. In addition to a lot of good-neighborly and friendly polite words, there were only a few core contents: Mo The Ming Dynasty proclaimed itself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and King Mo was deposed, which required the approval of the Ming Dynasty; Mo's army must obey the command of the Annan General Army of the Ming Dynasty; the Ming Dynasty helped Mo's 6,000 troops defend Taiyuan and Longzhou Zhao's 2,000 troops, at a cost It is borne by the Mo family; Ming merchants do business in Gaoping and Taiyuan and enjoy the same equal rights as the Annan people; the Mo family pays an annual tribute of 50,000 taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is responsible for protecting the Mo family's national defense and security.
??
Withered vines, old trees and dim crows,
Small bridges and flowing water, people’s homes,
The west wind and the thin horse on the ancient road.
The sun sets,
Heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
Under Zhu Hengjia's repeated urging, Mo Jingyu was ready to leave for Taiping Mansion in Guangxi. Before leaving, he asked to see Zhu Hengjia.
Zhu Hengjia agreed because of his always deferential nature.
Unexpectedly, when Mo Jingyu saw Zhu Hengjia, he immediately knelt down and burst into tears: "If the supervisor wants to kill me, please do it in Gaoping! I don't want to be a ghost in a foreign land!"
Zhu Hengjia was surprised: "I didn't mean to harm you, why did you say this?"
Mo Jingyu said: "Since ancient times, when a king dies, another king is established. Since you have appointed Mo Ying as the commander-in-chief of Annan, you will definitely not spare the life of the minister. It is estimated that if the minister cannot reach peace, he will be ambushed and killed on the road. I am willing to be killed by you on the soil of my motherland. Please grant me your permission."
Zhu Hengjia blushed, ashamed and ashamed, and his dark face turned the color of pig liver: Could it be that in other people's minds, his character was so bad? He was dishonest and sinister? But after thinking about it carefully, it was true. After receiving so many benefits from Mo Jingyu, he actually abolished him and appointed someone else as the head of the Mo family. No wonder they don't believe in me.
Zhu Hengjia was also aggrieved: You can’t blame Gu for this! It was Gu’s Pauline who forced it! Alas! Now Gu’s reputation has been damaged.
Zhu Hengjia hurriedly comforted Mo Jingyu, saying that he had absolutely no intention of harming his life. In order to reassure Mo Jingyu, Zhu Hengjia specially issued an order to allow Mo Jingyu's old ministers to escort Mo Jingyu out of Gaoping.
Unexpectedly, the world is in a hot and cold state! Tea is cold when people leave! When Mo Jingyu left, none of Mo's old ministers came to see him off. Except for one person: Shi Wei.
When he heard that his old boss was leaving, Shi Wei took a big knife and personally escorted Mo Jingyu to Taiping Mansion.
Mo Jingyu was heartbroken when he saw that Shi Wei was the only one who came to see him off. He deeply regretted not listening to his advice. Shi Wei also cried with him.
Someone told Zhu Hengjia about Shi Wei sending Mo Jingyu to Mo Jingyu, and advised Zhu Hengjia to kill Shi Wei. Unexpectedly, after Zhu Hengjia learned about it, he praised: "Shi Wei is such a loyal man!"
Zhu Hengjia persuaded Zhao Baolian to reuse Shi Wei, and Zhao Baolian ordered Mo Ying to appoint Shi Wei as the deputy general of Gaoping. Empress Zhao was quite political, so she asked Mo Ying to name the year Jiaqing, with the word "Jia" to show that he would not forget Zhu Hengjia's support; she appointed Ruan Yunqin.
As the prefect of Gaoping, Ruan Gongli is the prefect of Taiyuan. Both of them are veterans of the King of Wu'an and famous scholars in Annan. These two bad old men, one is in his seventies and the other is in his sixty-fifth year. They are not good at carrying out coups and are very good at calming people's hearts. Appointment
With the help of them, people in the new regime soon settled down; Zhao Baolian was promoted to generals such as Fu Sheng, Fu Tie, Nong Guihu and others who had made great achievements; Mo Jingyu's old minister was retained as usual. All ministers praised Jiaqing for a while.
The king is wise and the concubine is virtuous.
After handling these matters, Zhu Hengjia was eager to reach a negotiation agreement with the Zheng family of Li Dynasty and return north to Guilin. After more than half a year of expedition, the soldiers were homesick!
??
A hundred years later, some Annan scholars resented Zhu Hengjia's conspiracy to harm the kind and kind King Mo Jingyu of Shunde, who was deeply loved by the people of Gaoping. He wrote a poem to satirize:
"Hongmen"
Who does King Jing's Hongmen sword point at?
Inviting you to a banquet actually hides thunder.
Poor few cups of soul-destroying wine,
A century-old foundation is lost in one day.
