- Chapter 75: The eldest man and the eldest lady
It has been less than a month since the Yanwu Academy exams, and the weather has turned from warm to irritatingly hot. Perhaps it was for this reason that His Majesty the Emperor moved out of Dongnuan Pavilion early this year and moved into Changchun Garden, twenty miles away from Taiji Palace.
Changchun Garden is lined with green trees, and the emperor would move here to live in midsummer every year. This is not a strange thing, but this year the emperor moved in a whole month earlier than in previous years, which is a bit intriguing. The ministers would inevitably discuss this matter in their free time, but no one could figure out what caused His Majesty the Emperor to feel hot and cold in his heart earlier than the arrival of summer, forcing him to move to Changchun Garden for purification.
The emperor really needed to be clean, because he found that his heart was getting more and more restless.
He himself knows the reason for this, but he may only calm down completely on the day this happens. After eleven years on the throne, this ambitious emperor finally wanted to use the knife in his hand.
"Su Buwei"
Leaning against the wall of the Tukang, the emperor pointed to the tea cup on the table in front of him and said: "You have become more and more lazy recently, please give me more tea."
Su Buwei didn¡¯t dare to remind him because His Majesty the Emperor himself said just now that there was no need to add more tea. He quickly came over and poured out the tea, replaced it with new tea and brewed it again.
"Your Majesty, are you tired?"
He asked cautiously.
The emperor closed his eyes and rubbed his furrowed brows and hummed. He was silent for a while and said, "Go and find Cen Guiren. Her massage skills are unmatched by others. I don't know if she got some wind last night or if she came early." I can¡¯t get used to the coolness in Changchun Garden, my shoulders and back hurt.¡±
"My slave, go right away."
Su Buwei quickly turned around to leave, but the emperor shook his head slightly and said, "Just let the people below take care of things like this from now on. You, a eunuch in the imperial study, do some errands all day long. If word gets out, you don't have to worry about others saying you are incompetent." If you don¡¯t know how to do it, just tell the people below to go. I have something else to ask you.¡±
"Here"
Su Buwei went out and told the young eunuch to invite Mr. Cen, then hurriedly returned to the room and stood with his head bowed.
The emperor asked while rubbing his temples: "Is there any news from the martial arts field outside the city? I have told you to report the results first."
Su Buwei said quickly: "No news has been sent in yet. The last competition to determine the rankings of the top three in the Yanwu Academy is limited to three days. Today is only the first day, so the results should not be available so soon."
The emperor looked at the sky outside the window and nodded: "It's almost dark, I guess we won't be able to fight today. Those three guys are all human beings, and no one will rush to take action first. But this time, Dean Zhou This is a good idea, I like it. The Sui Dynasty has never lacked generals who are good at fighting, but there are not many people who can really see the overall situation. Some people say that Xu Xiaogong was promoted to general by me because of his qualifications and family background. Those who say this are just out of jealousy, and those who cannot see Xu Xiaogong¡¯s talent are mediocre people.¡±
"In my opinion, among the generals of the Sixteenth Guards of the Sui Dynasty, Luo Yao is the only one who can see the overall situation most thoroughly and clearly, besides Xu Xiaogong. As for the others, there are brave warriors and resourceful ones. , but the vision is inevitably limited. The eyes only look at one line and cannot see the entire surface. "
Su Buwei didn¡¯t dare to talk about such a topic.
The emperor smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this. I'm tired of reading jokes today. You can think of a joke and let me hear it. If it's good, I'll reward you."
"Here"
Su Buwei responded, pondered for a while and said: "It is difficult for this slave to think of a joke to make His Majesty happy. There is not much in the slave's stomach. Let's talk about the slave's childhood I remember that I was only seven or eight years old, it was midsummer, and I had nothing to do and I was digging cicada monkeys under the tree to play with. I met an old man and told my slave that the cicada monkeys would have to hibernate underground for at least three years before they could transform into The cicada fluttered its wings and screamed. The slave didn't believe it at the time, but later she found out that it was true. It's not easy for this humble little thing to keep its cry so loud that it can last for three years. "
After he finished speaking with a smile, he raised his head and glanced at the emperor, only to find that the emperor's face had turned cold at some point, and he was so frightened that he knelt down quickly.
"This servant doesn't know how to tell jokes, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"If you can't say this, who taught you this?"
The emperor asked coldly.
Su Buwei's body trembled slightly, and he hesitated for a while before answering truthfully: "It was taught by Master Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, who said that Your Majesty was depressed and impatient. He stopped being impatient after hearing this from the slave. How could I understand this? These, I just feel that the boss also has good intentions, and the word "servant" is not a word.?I dared to say it again and again. "
After a moment of silence, the emperor breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Get up, I don't blame you That old guy didn't dare to come and tell me, but he let you take the blame I didn't cicada monkey, I did it for I have been holding this sound for not only three years, but for eleven years. If the time had not come, I would not have been able to hold it in for another eleven years Go back and tell Huai Qiugong that I am going to cure him. For the crime of respect, let him crawl over and explain himself.¡±
Seeing the emperor's softened tone, Su Buwei felt more at ease. However, my admiration for Huaiqiu Gong is getting stronger and stronger. The old man once said that His Majesty is a wise king who understands everything and will never blame the people below him for this matter.
"Go and get ready. I will go to the martial arts field in person after tomorrow morning. No need to say anything, just let Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji accompany them. Yu Xiao, the son of General Zuo Wuwei Yu Manlou, General Zuo Qianwei Luo Yao's son Luo Wen, and Li Fubo, the nephew of General Li Yuanshan of the Right Xiaowei, are all rare talents who happen to be at this juncture I want to see if the three of them are really useful. ¡±

On the second day of the competition between the top three in the Yanwu Academy, there were only four or five people left on the viewing platform. The adults from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel who came to watch on the first day did not come to the martial arts field again because they had to go to court and the yamen of the Ministry also had to deal with trivial matters. After all, the imperial capital of Chang'an is too big, and it would take half a day to get back from the Changchun Garden to the martial arts arena.
¡°You adults are busy with work, and you don¡¯t have time to spend three days here.
"I have to come on the first day."
Prince Yi did not return to Chang'an City at all last night, but stayed at the martial arts field. Although the small courtyard of the martial arts arena is not as spacious and comfortable as his prince's palace, but with four beautiful beauties accompanying him, sleeping in a different place can provide you with a different kind of excitement. Moreover, living in this small wooden house has an artistic conception of feeling the fireworks in the world compared to the grand palace.
After breakfast, Prince Yi Yang Yin took his entourage to the viewing platform. After sitting for a long time, it is inevitable that I will have some back pain.
He stood up and stretched his body, looked at Dean Zhou who was resting his eyes and complained: "You are the same, you can decide the winner in one day, it has to take three days. Although I have nothing to do, But do you know how many fun things you have missed by delaying Gu for three days? The girls on the Xinshui River er, Huai Lao even made an appointment with Gu to go fishing in Xinshui."
Dean Zhou raised the corner of his mouth and was speechless.
On the other hand, Xu Xiaogong, the general of Youzhenwei, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly lowered his head in embarrassment.
Yang Yin rolled her eyes at him and simply went to the viewing platform to stretch his muscles with a few punches. Although the fatigue of sitting for a long time is not comparable to the fatigue of working, this kind of fatigue is really a kind of torture for this restless prince. If the emperor hadn't asked him to come here to watch the battle, he would have been too lazy to come, and would have gone to a gentle place to live in a dream.
Dean Zhou squinted his eyes to watch Prince Yi Yang Yin boxing, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty, this boxing technique is very structured, but there seem to be too many rules. The Bai family's Long Arm Tongquan in Lingnan, and the Liu family's in Hexi I can¡¯t tell the origin of the Iron Three Hammers, the Qinling Wu family¡¯s half-step punch, and a few other moves. They look complicated, but the prince¡¯s skills are quite comprehensive and impressive.¡±
Yang Yin stopped his momentum, took a breath and said: "The mansion has a few martial arts masters who are good at boxing and kicking, and they are used to look after the homes and nursing homes. When I have nothing to do, I also learn a few moves from them. It is difficult to get started, so I can strengthen my body." Fitness still has some effects.¡±
Zhou Banchuan hummed, and for some reason there was something strange in his eyes.
When Yang Yin lowered his head and stopped, his expression changed slightly, but he soon returned to calm.
Xu Xiaogong¡¯s face was calm, but his heart was shaken.
Zhou Banchuan rubbed his nose, stood up and apologized, saying it was convenient to go. Xu Xiaogong then stood up and said, "I will accompany you." He also asked Yang Yin if he would go with him. Yang Yin waved his hand and said, "You two with military backgrounds are not in such good shape as Gu. You can't hold back your urine after drinking a pot of tea. Do you want Gu to introduce a famous doctor to take care of you?" After he said this, the three of them couldn't help it. laughing out loud.
Zhou Banchuan and Xu Xiaogong left the viewing platform. After the two left, Yang Yin immediately turned around and whispered a few words to a beautiful maid next to him. The maid hummed and left quickly.
In the toilet, Xu Xiaogong sighed and whispered: "It is not a fault to have a wide circle of friends, but if you make friends with too many martial arts people you are afraid of being grabbed by your braids."
Zhou Banchuan unbuttoned his pants and let out a long stream of urine. He groaned comfortably and said, "It's just for fun. This is the responsibility of that vicious guy Hou Wenji." Worry, what are you worrying about? Is your breakfast salty or bland?"
Xu Xiaogong chuckledLaughed, scolded, but not unhappy at all.
"Ten years ago, Prince Yi was not as good as he is now."
He said while lifting his trousers: "At that time, the sharpness was sharp, and it was as fast as a horizontal knife."
"If the blade is too fast, it will either hurt others or yourself."
Zhou Banchuan arranged his clothes and walked out: "Make a bet?"
"What?"
"Are there many people?"
"There will definitely be less. Of the four beauties, there will only be three left when we go back."
Zhou Banchuan glared at Xu Xiaogong and said, "It's boring. Can I kill you by pretending to be stupid?"
Xu Xiaogong said seriously: "Don't dare to pretend to be stupidyou will lose money by pretending to be stupid."
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over from the viewing platform, saying anxiously as he ran: "Master Yard, General Your Majesty is here!"
¡¡

On the official road that leads directly to the south city of Chang'an, more than ten miles away from the martial arts arena, that is, in the farewell pavilion thirty miles outside the south city of Chang'an, Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, dressed in sapphire blue and brocade clothes, seemed to be sitting leisurely in the pavilion, sipping tea. In fact, there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"When did the lady say she would arrive?"
He asked a fat middle-aged man next to him. This man was fatter and shorter than Xiang Qingniu. If he were walking on the street, from a distance, he would look like a ball of meat. Similar. Because he is too fat, it is not easy to find eyes on his face.
In this kind of weather, it is natural for such a fat man to feel uncomfortable.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But this guy is also wearing a very novel style of the moon-white scholar's long shirt. He felt sorry for the tailor when he wore this expensive piece of clothing. The moon-white clothes had long been soaked with sweat, and the back turned egg yellow.
"Master, I got the exact information this morning. The lady is less than sixty miles away from Chang'an City. Logically Logically speaking, she should be arriving soon."
"I spent a lot of money to stuff her into Qingle Mountain, but she ran back right away. How long do I have to work hard to earn such a big sum of money? I have already given it away. Is it possible that I can return it? Can you go to Niubi to get your money back? This business is a huge loss."
Wu Yiyi said with an annoyed look on his face.
The fat butler named Jiusecai corrected him in a low voice: "It's gold."
Wine, sex, and wealth are lifeless.
It seems that he is indeed a kind-hearted fat man who will not be angered by anything.
"I'm coming!"
The fat man pointed to the official road and said in surprise: "Miss is back."
Wu Yiyi quickly stood up, walked over quickly and said fiercely: "It's not worrying at all, let's see how I teach her a lesson!"
"The great master is mighty!"
The fat butler never forgets to flatter him.
But when he saw the fine beads of sweat on the forehead and tip of the nose of his only daughter Wu Yinyu, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "It's hot. There is sour plum soup in the pavilion. Do you want to drink it to moisten your throat?"
Wu Yinyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the pavilion and snorted: "Should I go and get it myself?"
¡°I¡¯ll come, I¡¯ll come, naturally I¡¯ll come.¡±
Wu Yiyi quickly turned around and trotted to get the sour plum soup.
"The eldest lady is so powerful!"
The fat man immediately straightened his chest and praised: "It's really mighty." - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
