It's never a good idea to keep pear blossoms weighing down begonias. Ye An made the most of it and brought it to this world in advance.
The ministers laughed at Cao Li, making him mad with anger, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and calm, but his right hand that never let go revealed his inner hatred for Ye An.
Li Zunxu accused Ye An and said with a smile: "You boy, you really don't give any face to Cao Li! A pear tree weighs begonias... wonderful, wonderful!"
Ye An smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You people! You always misunderstand my good intentions. Do you still remember what I said to Cao Lili? It's because he was afraid that he would not die well, so I trained him like this.
"Anti-strike" ability..."
Li Zunxu smiled and waved his hands and ignored Ye An's words that no one could understand. In his opinion, this was the irony that made Cao Liang unable to come to Taiwan. There was no thought of others in it.
Ye An didn't care, after all, it was Cao Li who insulted him first, and he was justified in being so sarcastic.
But the appearance of Zhao Zhen changed this and made this "joke" even more deadly. After changing his clothes, Zhao Zhen saw the courtiers laughing and chatting. Most of them focused their attention on Ye An and Cao Liang, so he asked the chamberlain
Ask for details.
After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, he also laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Ye is a good metaphor, a pear tree crushes a begonia! You sir are a great talent!"
This was a dimensionality reduction blow. Cao Yongli's old face turned red with shame and he was "socially dead" on the spot. Ye An also felt uncomfortable, but he had no intention of humiliating Cao Yongli like this.
After all, he was a general who fought hard for his country on the battlefield, but it was Zhao Zhen who finally discovered Ye An's embarrassment and immediately came to the rescue: "I heard Mr. Ye once said, "Can Lian Po still be able to make a living at this age?"
I heard today that although the servant is old, he is as energetic as a young man. It can be seen that Privy Cao is in good health and can still be loyal to the country!"
The praise from the emperor instantly made Cao Yong feel much better, and he immediately crossed his hands and bowed: "Thank you for the compliment! I am in good shape, and I am willing to assist the official family in prospering the world!"
The courtiers were silent. Even the officials praised Cao Yong's good health. The generals naturally agreed, while the civil servants smiled helplessly. So there are fewer concubines in the family, and even the health is not as good as Cao Yong's?!
Of course, no one would mind if it was just a joke. It was just a matter of laughing it off. Only Cao Li looked at Ye An with deep meaning in his eyes.
Because of Ye An's warning, Zhao Zhen was not allowed to drink alcohol during banquets, and courtiers and foreign envoys were naturally not allowed to drink. In fact, dining with the emperor was a very painful thing.
Only when the emperor moved his chopsticks could the courtiers move their chopsticks. After the emperor put down his chopsticks, the courtiers were embarrassed to eat under the emperor's gaze.
The royal meals are naturally good, but the taste is not that good either. The ingredients are just precious. Ye An feels that the meal in front of him is not as good as the home-cooked food of Shiweitian, but the luxury of the ingredients is still unparalleled.
Even the extremely precious perilla oil is added to each dish. Perilla seeds do not produce much oil originally, but such a large amount of use shows how much perilla is used.
Even in the later generations with advanced technology, this stuff is still expensive, and is even marketed as a health product. You can imagine the price of anything related to health products.
Delicious food, melodious palace music, ministers chatting and drinking, a scene of prosperity.
After the banquet, everyone left with satisfaction. Because Zhao Zhen was young, the civil servants and generals rejected Zhao Zhen's idea of shooting in the southern suburbs on the grounds that he was young and could not ride a horse and hunt.
The spring ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow. Wang Zhen, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, resigned early. He had to prepare for the spring ceremony with officials from the Ministry of Rites.
As for the emperor's personal plowing, it was done at the end of the first month. It is said that this is the best time calculated by Si Tianjian, and it is an auspicious day.
When Ye An walked out of Daqing Hall, Wang Qinruo walked over and looked at Li Zunxu beside him. The guy immediately left thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about "the philosophy of life."
"I think it was inappropriate for Changsheng to make fun of Privy Councilor Cao in the palace today. Cao Cao is stubborn and can easily bear a grudge against you."
Wang Qinruo went straight to the topic. As the deputy prime minister who was involved in political affairs, it was rare to express goodwill so directly. However, Ye An smiled and said: "I don't think Privy Councilor Cao will hold a grudge against me. He is in the position of Privy Councilor.
Isn’t it enough to support a boat?”
Wang Qinruo smiled and said: "You kid is not afraid of anything. I heard that you have the power of divination? I wonder what will happen to Wang in the future?"
Ye An was a little confused. There was no need for Wang Qinruo to be friendly with him, and there was no need for him to evaluate his future, but his current behavior was a bit strange.
Seeing that he was walking with Wang Qinruo, the courtiers who were leaving the palace together looked over curiously, especially the two husbands-in-law, Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian, with suspicion in their eyes.
Ye An suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Mr. Wang came to look for Ye An because he was doing it more for others to see, right?"
"Hey! You really have a clever temper! Don't you think we are very similar? Civil servants and military generals don't want to see you and me, and we are being used by saints. I don't know what the future holds!"
Does this mean they are all on the same road? Ye An shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to compete with Xianggong Wang. I'm a lonely minister, and I can't compare with Xianggong Wang who has been running the government for many years."
Seeing that there was something in Ye An's words, Wang Qinruo smiled and said indifferently: "Oh? Really? Do you think I have been reduced to this point after running the court for many years? The reason why the saint let me return to participate in political affairs is actually to check and balance a certain person.
These people!" After Wang Qinruo finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, and almost said their names.
Of course Ye An knew Wang Qinruo's purpose. He shook his head slightly and looked at him with pity in his eyes: "Why did Wang Xianggong deceive himself and others? Ye An divined a hexagram for you, and the hexagram showed that the "escape hexagram" escaped and prospered. Just now.
When you are in position, you should respond to the current situation. A small profit will lead to a long life. When you escape, your righteousness will be great!"
Wang Qinruo's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Ye And and said, "Oh? This is the divination power of longevity? It's quite wonderful! I wonder who you dare to divination?"
"His position is so high that Changsheng cannot predict it! But Changsheng thought that he should retreat bravely, but the time has not come yet, right?"
Wang Qin nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Ye An again with a strange look in his eyes: "You are too young to understand people's hearts. If you go through the years, you may be able to become more sophisticated in divination.
A certain family hopes to see the day when you dominate the court!"
Ye An smiled and shook his head and said: "Immortal can't stand the beatings in the court, and I might not be able to reach a high position!"
Wang Qinruo laughed and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to look back and said: "I will definitely be in a high position in the future!"
Li Zunxu came over impatiently and said like a thief: "What did Wang Qinruo say to you?"
"Nothing, just chatting about divination!"
"Scared! You don't know that Wang Qinruo is proficient in the "Book of Changes"? Even the late emperor often praised other divination experts, and few people who are proficient in the "Book of Changes" can be as good as him! What did he say to you?"
Ye An was a little surprised, and then said: "The secret must not be leaked!"
