Chapter 564: River Drinking Mole

Liu Zongli and Shen Feng are not only as simple as the father-in-law and son-in-law, for Shen Feng, Liu Zongli is still a senior, teacher, and now Liu Zongli has also come to the capital, which is a great benefit to Shen Feng.

After he was opposed to the emperor, Qu Chuxian, Li Chengde and others could not guarantee it, so the only person who really stood on his side was Liu Zongli.

"Thank you Uncle Liu for mentioning it. Shen Feng was worried: "Uncle Liu, I will be antagonistic to the emperor in the near future, will this affect your career?"

Liu Zongli smiled lightly: "Living to my age, how can I care about my career, as long as I have a good time, I will rest assured, and now you can do what you want to do, and you must think more before acting." ”

Shen Feng said solemnly: "Thank you, Uncle Liu." ”

"Although I don't know why you choose to oppose the emperor, but I know that you are not a person who is obsessed with power, so I can rest assured, you have such a plan, it is actually good for you, once you enter the political situation, it is inevitable to face a position problem, you are not obsessed with power, and choose to oppose the emperor, I think you don't want to be used by the emperor, want to take advantage of the lack of involvement to break free from the political situation. ”

Although the old rivers and lakes immersed in officialdom, although they are not clear about their true purpose, they analyze it inseparably and sigh deeply in their hearts, "I have a more ambitious goal, and if I want to truly benefit the country and the people, I must break free from this complex and dangerous political situation, otherwise I will only be restricted everywhere." ”

Shen Feng admires Liu Zongli, Liu Zongli is not, and Shen Feng's far-reaching strategy is far inferior to people like him who are bound by the world.

"Your ideas are not out of the box (thinking is creative, not old-fashioned), I can't do it!" Liu Zongli sighed, and said deeply: "If you can think about the people of the world, I can rest assured, now most of the officials in the court are some corpses and vegetarians, and those who are officials do not seek peace for the people, what is an official." ”

Khan, Uncle Liu definitely didn't know that I was hooking up with Sister Shu, Shen Feng knew what he really thought in his heart, and smiled gloomily: "A dynasty will always experience prosperity and decline, and when it turns from prosperity to decline, if there is a new reform, it can save the decline, but if-"

Shen Feng implicitly pointed at the crown prince in his words, and Liu Zongli sighed in a trance: "I understand what you mean, this is also the root of the problem in the current government. ”

This seemed to be an unsolvable problem, perhaps a question that he didn't dare to think about, Shen Feng put aside this question for the time being, and asked instead, "Uncle Liu, what kind of person do you think the emperor is?"

Liu Zongli shook his head and said: "The emperor has changed a lot, I can't see through it, but the emperor is by no means a mediocre monarch, even if the emperor has made some mistakes." ”

Many emperors were not mediocre monarchs before, but after sitting on the throne for a long time, they became more and more selfish, Uncle Liu gave the emperor such an evaluation, Shen Feng did not speculate in his heart, the two then talked about many things in the officialdom, and Liu Zongli told him in detail about the current political situation in the court.

Soon Liu Zongli left the house, the new official took office, he still had a lot of things to do, and the euphemism naturally stayed in the house, several women had been talking happily in the room, and were about to go in to turn over the river and the sea, but the palace sent someone to order him to enter the palace, and in desperation, he had to rush to the palace by horse.

The emperor summoned this time is in the study, the emperor's study of course has an atmospheric literary name, the name of the study is tired of Qinzhai, there are a total of thirteen thrones upstairs and downstairs, each bed has a yellow kang felt mat, safflower kang carpet, mattress, backrest and so on, there are spit bowls, mirrors, Ruyi, Shun knife on the bed, the mattress is placed on both sides of the kang table, the cabinet grid, jade, porcelain, enamel, bamboo, wood, teeth, horns and other materials carved into the treasured stationery.

In addition, the space in the room is full of furniture such as Shuge, Duobaoge, Kang Table, Kang Table, Incense Table, Long Table, Semi-round Table, Crescent Table, Piano Table, Chairs, Embroidery Pier, Scheme and so on. Due to the small and tortuous indoor space of the tired and diligent fasting, the furniture is mostly fine and small black lacquer painted with gold, lacquered floor inlaid with luodian and other categories. On the wall, in addition to the silk, paper stickers, there are also hanging royal pen characters, landscapes, flowers and birds and other inserts, hanging screens, the texture is mostly red sandalwood, carved lacquer, enamel frame, inlaid with jade, gemstones, enamel, ivory, dotted cui and other materials.

At this time, the emperor was sitting on an imperial bed, and there were one person standing on the left and right, namely the prince and Su Zhengyi, the secretary of the criminal department.

"See the emperor!" approached the study, and saluted the emperor with a fist.

The crown prince violently reprimanded: "Bold! Why don't you kneel down when you see my father!"

Today, the emperor was dressed in civilian clothes, and he looked much kinder, a little less majestic, and waved his hand and said: "No need, when you see me in the future, you don't have to kneel down and salute, it can be regarded as my reward for you." ”

This old man did not give himself a military position for a long time, but first promised his daughter and then allowed himself not to kneel, which was obviously jealous and wanted to win over, Shen Feng was like a mirror in his heart, and said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "I haven't watched much of the ancient court TV series, unlike those officials who talk about a set of things, which makes the emperor happy, and Shen Feng's words to the emperor have always been concise and clear.

"I don't know what the emperor summoned me to this time? ?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "I heard that you have some unpleasant trouble with the crown prince, what is the matter? Is there still a foreign woman involved?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately said: "Father, he competed with me for a woman, and he embarrassed his sons in public!"

"Stop!" The emperor was furious, and immediately frightened the prince to the point that his face turned pale, standing aside trembling and not daring to take a breath, his lips trembled, and he pointed to the prince's nose and said: "Do you think I don't know that you are competing with people in the Xianyin Pavilion for wind and jealousy, and competing for a dusty woman! As the prince of a country, he does not set an example for the people of the world, but he does such a degrading thing, how do you tell me to hand over the world to you! How do you ask the people of the world to treat you!"

"I am my emperor, and I don't need the world to look at me. The prince muttered with a suffocated face, and hurriedly said: "Father, that woman is not a dusty woman, she is a foreign woman living in Dahua, I think she has an outstanding temperament and an extraordinary background, I implore my father to make this woman the concubine of his son!"

The emperor said coldly: "Do you know who this is-bastard, she is a princess of an overseas country! you still have the face to let her be your concubine!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coveted Catherine, and when he heard that she was a princess, his expression became even more excited, and he hurriedly said: "Wouldn't it be better to be a princess, to prove that the vision of the retainer is not wrong, if the princess of a foreign country becomes the concubine of the retainer, wouldn't it show my great prestige." ”

Dog's day, what kind of Tianwei is marrying a foreign princess, at most it is a bird's might, but it depends on you, you don't want to think about it, Shen Feng sneered in his heart.

"Enough is enough, don't say it again!" The emperor's eyes fell on Shen Feng, and he said in a deep voice: "This foreign princess is in your mansion now?"

It is not surprising that the emperor knows that Antonio should have come to meet the emperor and asked the emperor to help find Catherine's whereabouts, Shen Feng said: "Yes!"

The emperor did not seem to be interested in the foreign powers, and said indifferently: "I promised the foreign envoy to help him find their princess, and you will send the princess to the university mansion as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" It seems that he can't hide it, so he can only send the princess back, and after getting along for a while, he is still quite reluctant to this little devil, who is both elegant and enthusiastic, and full of charm.

"That's it, don't fight that foreign princess's idea again. The emperor continued: "Emperor, have you led someone into Shen Feng's mansion?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again, the emperor slapped the table, and Long Yan said angrily: "Is there such a thing!"

Hearing that the emperor meant that he wanted to repair his relationship with the crown prince, Shen Feng sneered and said one by one: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the crown prince did break into my mansion with his guards, intending to plunder my wife, and insulting my wife, both Lord Qu and Lord Su can testify for me." ”

"Bastard thing!" The emperor blushed and scolded, a pair of thick eyebrows frowned: "You have done such a degrading and ugly thing, even I am ashamed of you! You give me a good reflection, I am not allowed to step out of the East Palace for half a step for three months, how can I have a son like you!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knelt down hurriedly, glared at Shen Feng and Su Zhengyi angrily, and cried: "Father! ”

Shen Feng saw that the time had come, and turned to say: "Your Majesty, I thought about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have much of a holiday with me, and he had a relationship with me in Shengzhou, the two of us drank and talked happily, how could the prince bring someone to break into my mansion, there must be someone behind his back to instigate the prince." ”

The emperor sighed, his eyes focused on the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Is there someone who instigated you behind your back!"

Shen Feng gave the prince a look, and the prince hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, it was Song Xingling who instigated me to do this." ”

Shen Feng suddenly said loudly: "Then it's no wonder, I have always been at odds with Song Xingling, and the prince is simple by nature, so it's no wonder that the prince was deceived by him." ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said slightly irritably: "I will let the prime minister take good control of his son, give you an explanation, the prince, you will give me a good time to stay in the East Palace for a few days, without my will, I can't leave the East Palace!" ”

"Yes, the retainers retired. The prince looked at Shen Feng, his expression was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why he suddenly spoke for himself, he didn't dare to offend himself, he had the intention of getting married, and after figuring it out, he left the Tiqin Building.

After the prince left, Su Zhengyi also quickly retired, at this time only Shen Feng and the emperor were left in the study, as well as the old eunuch beside the emperor, the old eunuch seemed to be the emperor's henchman, the last time the emperor went out on patrol, he also followed him, and the eunuchs who followed the emperor for a long time were the people who knew the emperor best.

The old eunuch made a pot of tea for the emperor, and the emperor squinted and smiled: "This is the Longjing that was transported from Jiangnan yesterday, Shen Feng, you heard that you have been in Hangzhou for a while, how about you come to taste this pot of tea?"

People who come into contact with the emperor will speculate on the meaning of every action and every sentence of the emperor, Shen Feng is also careful to deal with it, take the teacup and smell it, the tea soup is orange and yellow, the aroma is sharp and long-lasting, and his mind is stagnant, he raised his glass and took a sip, the tea tastes strong and mellow, where is this West Lake Longjing, it is Yunnan Pu'er at all.

Obviously it is Pu'er, but it is said to be Longjing, there is a lot of article in this word, there is a suspicion of referring to the deer as a horse, no wonder it is said that the companion is like a tiger, and even the tea has to be drunk carefully, Shen Feng pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "When I was in Hangzhou, I only drank Longjing once, and I can't say the specific taste, but it is different from the Longjing I imagined, the emperor smiled, I don't know tea at all, usually as long as there is a mouthful of tea to quench my thirst, I am satisfied, just like a mole drinking the river." Shen Feng knew that the emperor wanted to test whether he would obey him, but Shen Feng pretended to be confused and deliberately confused his meaning.

The emperor took a sip, his eyes folded into a fine light, his expression seemed to be angry but not angry, and he naturally exuded the spirit of an emperor: "Then try this pot of bamboo leaf green tea again?"

Bamboo leaf green tea, isn't that from Shuchuan, Shen Feng sounded the alarm in his heart, this question is much sharper and more sensitive than the previous question, he took a sip of the teacup, and said in a deep voice: "This tea is deeply interesting in the mountains and rivers of Emei, the taste is mellow and refreshing, taste carefully, only feel the fragrance of lips and teeth, and calm and calm." ”

"Why can't I taste it? The emperor took a sip of the teacup, shook his head with taste, and had a strange smile on his face, a creepy and incomprehensible smile: "This tea is produced in a remote place, and it was sent to the capital for seven days on the way. ”

Shen Feng took another sip of tea soup, although his mind was always hanging, he still talked and laughed freely: "The emperor is afraid that he is not used to drinking bamboo leaf green tea, and there are also some bamboo leaf green tea in my house, and the taste is not much different from this West Lake Longjing." ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said: "West Lake Longjing is the emperor of tea, from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, take the essence of mountains and rivers, how can bamboo leaf green tea be compared, I advise you to drink less in the future." The Emperor's tone changed from calm to hurried, with obvious anger.

"As far as I know, Longjing and Bamboo Leaf Green Tea are both green teas, which are from the same source, and I should drink this tea like drinking Longjing. ”

Both of them have words in their words, bamboo leaf green tea and Longjing each represent different meanings, but Shen Feng's cognate sentence seems to have touched the emperor's reverse scales, the emperor's expression changed suddenly, and the dragon's eyes widened and said: "Longjing is Longjing, and bamboo leaf green tea can replace it!??"

Shen Feng knew how to be relaxed, and now was not the time for a showdown with the emperor, so he nodded and smiled: "The emperor misunderstood what I meant, of course Longjing can't be replaced by any tea, and bamboo leaf green tea is even worse than Longjing, but after drinking it, it doesn't make much difference." ”

The emperor raised his thick eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have bamboo leaf green tea in your house?"

I'm afraid this is what the emperor really wants to ask, isn't it just that I'm afraid that Sister Shu and I will still be involved, Shen Feng smiled in his heart and said: "I just finished drinking it a few days ago, and it really sounds a little nostalgic." ”

The emperor's faintly angry face eased, and he continued to take a sip of Longjing tea, and said in an accentuated tone: "Don't have a taste, tomorrow I will reward you with some Longjing tea, so that you will no longer have a taste for bamboo leaf green tea." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's reward. "I didn't expect to be able to deceive Longjing tea just by talking a few words, if I go against the emperor in the future, I guess I can make him angry to death, should I be a little more tactful?
