Chapter 377: Delegating a great responsibility to the people of Sri Lanka
"He is a junior, how do you let him visit?"
Princess Gaoping spoke kindly of Li Chengzhi, "On the contrary, she asked San'er (Gao Zhan) to send a message to the prince-in-law, saying that if he had a chance, he would ask your majesty to release the Guo family from imprisonment..."
"He must be telling the truth! Your Majesty treats him so kindly. If he had really asked for it, he would have granted it long ago..."
Gao Ying couldn't believe it, he just felt his anger rising up, "He must be at the Tai Chi Palace at this time, please summon me, I will ask him..."
"Your Highness, you must not..."
Gao Ping and Chang Le's faces changed, "This place is full of concubines, princesses, and wives. It is late at night, and there is singing and dancing at this time. There are many people in the palace who are dissolute. How dare you let male subjects enter?"
...Furthermore, how can we ask questions in public about something so disgraceful to Mr. Gao?"
The truth should indeed be like this, but Gao Ying felt that his anger was hard to calm down. He didn't know why, but when he listened to several married women chanting the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal", he felt that every word was like a needle, going straight to
She was heartbroken.
"Okay, just call him if you don't want to be alone! Isn't he good at composing poetry? Doesn't he like to compose poetry?"
Gao Ying shouted angrily, "Go and order the ceremonial officer to deliver a solitary message to the Taiji Hall: When the drinking was in full swing, the princesses and ladies discussed poems, and they all said that if they were to discuss poems about the Chinese Valentine's Day, no one could compare to Li Huben.
……
This is the right time for the festival. How fitting is it for such a good time? A gentleman has the beauty of a man and is highly regarded by everyone. We will ask Li Huben to spare no expense and write some good poems...
And give him a warning: If he can't write seven or eight poems, or if his composition is not as good as the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal", we will definitely not let him go lightly..."
Since the words "we and others" are used, it naturally refers to the many princesses and wives in this palace. When I first heard it, the so-called "seven or eight poems" and "will not take mercy" should be just a joke.
But Gao Ping and Chang Le intuitively knew that the Queen was not joking, but taking it seriously.
Seeing that her anger was uncontrollable and seemed to explode at the slightest provocation, the two of them did not dare to persuade her any more. The queen, who thought she still wanted to be calm, lost her composure, so let her calm down first.
Even if Li Chengzhi can't do it, I'm afraid it's been a few moments since he came and went, and the queen's anger should have dissipated a lot...
Gao Ping and Changle only thought that the queen was defending Gao Wenjun, and they secretly winked at Gao Wenjun, hinting that when she sent the message to the ceremony officer, she should change her wording a little and not be as direct as the queen said.
Gao Wenjun nodded slightly, but sneered secretly in his heart: Gao Nuer, do you think I can't guess why you are so angry?
I’m really frustrated and crazy...
……
The emperor was quite energetic, holding a porcelain urn. There was a lid on the urn, and mist could be seen coming out, which seemed to be a warm time.
From time to time, Yuan Ke would hold the urn in his arms, as if to warm his stomach.
Liu Teng stood beside the emperor and couldn't help but admire him: When it comes to fantastic ideas, if Li Chengzhi is ranked second, who would dare to be ranked first?
It's just that there is another layer of porcelain urn inside the porcelain urn. How can the soup, food and other things contained in it not cool down for a long time?
When asked about the reason, Li Chengzhi only said that there are cans within cans, so the heat has nowhere to escape, and the contents in the cans will naturally stay warm and not cold.
Liu Teng thought about it but still couldn't figure it out. What kind of truth is this?
Occasionally, he saw the emperor opening the lid of the urn, taking a deep breath, and then exhaling again. He seemed to be very refreshed and full of energy, which made Liu Teng worried.
He took a step back gently and asked Li Chengzhi in a low voice: "After drinking this, His Majesty feels much more energetic. But sometimes it is late at night and he cannot fall asleep. Why is this?"
Nonsense, you drank tea in the middle of the night, and it was as bitter as medicine. You only saw ghosts when you could fall asleep?
"It's a three-part medicine that is poisonous. Even if you use too much ginseng, you will be depleted and will not be replenished. Furthermore, I have said it eight hundred times. Don't let your majesty drink tea after nightfall. Your majesty pours it and holds the tea can without leaving your mouth."
, how can you not have insomnia?"
Li Chengzhi's tone was very bad and he was disrespectful towards the emperor. But Liu Teng didn't take it seriously and just gave him a warning look.
I don’t blame Li Chengzhi, it’s true that Li Chengzhi is almost breathless from being forced by His Majesty these days. Even Liu Teng and Yu Zhong were amazed: Li Chengzhi could endure it so hard, and it was beyond their expectations.
Are you sick, or are you asking to resign?
The two of them also guessed in private: His Majesty must have figured out Li Chengzhi's path and knew how to control him...
As if he had guessed what Liu Teng was thinking, Li Chengzhi quietly came over and asked in a low voice: "Prince of the Temple, for the sake of my fellow ministers, please let me know the truth about your Majesty's past few days.
, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
It’s no wonder that Li Chengzhi was suspicious: Only when he became a servant did he realize how difficult it was for Yuan Ke to serve him.
It's like menopause... no, like a naughty kid who refuses to admit defeat.
He is obviously a weakling and can't do anything, but he always likes to make Li Chengzhi lower than others.
That's all, but he insists on finding fault with himself. Everything seems to be displeasing to him. Whenever Li Chengzhi makes some mistakes, he is either sarcastic or extremely sarcastic. Li Chengzhi's shortcomings can always be found.<
/p>
Even though the emperor doesn't like fast horses, he likes Li Chengzhi to race horses with others.
When it comes to riding skills, Li Chengzhi can only be regarded as average. How can he compare with a group of servants who specialize in riding horses. He competed ten times, and he lost eight times.
Yuan Ke then ridiculed him for being too famous...
The emperor couldn't pull the bow or shoot an arrow, but he liked to watch Li Chengzhi compare arrows with others.
When it comes to archery, Li Chengzhi is second-rate at best. Not to mention the archery officer, he is worse than the archery official. If he compares arrows with him, he will lose ten to ten.
The emperor laughed at him because he had no reputation for bravery.
Li Chengzhi was forced to panic, so he said that at least he was strong. The emperor did not scold him, but sneered and asked someone to bring the Taiqing Bow and let Li Chengzhi shoot it for him.
It is a real arrow, that is, the one gifted to Xi Kangsheng by the Southern Emperor Xiao Ai. It is two meters long when it is strung up, half a head taller than Li Chengzhi. The special arrow shaft is thicker than a thumb and is four feet long.
, just like the spears used by cavalry.
Li Chengzhi tried his best to suck the milk, but he could only pull it three times. The emperor laughed at him and said that Xi Kangsheng could breastfeed at least ten times.
It's nonsense. No matter how old Xi Kangsheng is, if he can open it three times in a row, Li Chengzhi will give up on the spot.
However, Xi Kangsheng is not in the capital, and Li Chengzhi has nothing to say...
Later, I learned that although Li Chengzhi knew music theory, he only knew two musical instruments: flute and suona. He had only learned them not long ago, so he could not be said to be "good" or "skilled" at all.
The emperor said that he had a good skin but an empty belly.
The most hateful thing is playing chess with the emperor: if Li Chengzhi beats Yuan Ke in a few games of chess, Yuan Ke will get twice as much money from Go, and he will do this every day, enjoying it endlessly...
After a few days of hard work, Li Chengzhi was almost exhausted.
The second reason is that he is physically tired, but mainly because he is feeling aggrieved. So Nian Yuanke gave him a big gift, otherwise he would have found an excuse to give up his job...
It wasn't until yesterday when I met Gao Zhao when he accompanied the emperor to inspect the altar, and complained a few words while the emperor was not paying attention, that Gao Zhao suggested to him: read a book, "Gao Zixia"...
When he turned to "Mencius" and saw the sentence "Heaven has given great responsibilities to the people", Li Chengzhi suddenly realized: The emperor seemed to be trying to temper his temper?
How could Liu Teng admit it and reprimanded in a low voice: "You are so frustrated that you are crazy, but you still don't want to die? How could you, Li Chengzhi, be so virtuous and capable that your Majesty should make things difficult for you? If I really want to displease you, all it takes is one knife... What a surprise
Consider it your fault..."
This old fox doesn’t show even a trace of his expression?
Li Chengzhi secretly complained: When will this be the end?
If he had known that this job was not done by humans at all, he would rather lose to Yuan Yi...
Just as he was complaining, he saw a small yellow doorman coming from the back of the palace and whispering a few words in Liu Teng's ear. Liu Teng turned around and gave Li Chengzhi a strange look.
Looking at him from the corner of his eye, the dead eunuch moved forward again and said a few words to the emperor. Just like Liu Teng, the emperor also turned his head and stared at him with a strange expression.
Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat: Does it feel like something bad happened?
