Chapter 201: Tea Brewing (2)
The emperor raised his handsome eyes and looked at the man opposite, "How do you say that?" ā
"The rivers and mountains are like boiling water, and the common people are like tea leaves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Your Majesty is more familiar with the tea ceremony than Xiu, and he knows better that not all tea leaves are suitable for boiling at such high temperatures, or brewing with boiling water. "Gongyi Cultivation," such as Junshan Best, 'Xuehaiyun Township', the buds and leaves are fresh and tender, and the quality and color are fine, but they should only be brewed at low temperatures. If it is washed with boiling water, the tea leaves will immediately curl up as if they are withered, the tea foam will be scattered before it gathers, and the elegant fragrance will also be destroyed. If the tea is not good, the water temperature is too high.
"And today, it is like boiling water in an oven, natural selection, and the fittest is king. Those who have the ability have to compete in the world.
"So, although Your Majesty is not a good man, I believe that you will be the sharpest bit of steel on the edge of a knife, and the pinch of tea that can stand the most boiling water. Because you're ruthless and smart enough. ā
"I ......" Gong Ye opened his mouth a few times, and finally spoke again, "That Gao Tang ......"
Before the words ended, Gongyi Xiu had already understood his meaning, "Your Majesty wants to say, if you talk about your mind and ruthlessness, Emperor Huang is not much better than Your Majesty?" ā
Gong Ye nodded.
Gongyi Xiu said with a smile: "In fact, in this world, the big waves wash the sand, and the world is divided. Don't say that Your Majesty and Emperor Sui, looking at Emperor Zhen and Emperor Qi, who is a fuel-efficient lamp? ā
"That Xiu Qing just said this......"
"Nonsense. It's just that those three have it, and you have it, Your Majesty. But there's one thing you have and they don't. ā
"What is it?"
"I am cautious about this foundation of the country, trembling as if I am holding someone else's things, for fear of making a mistake and taking half a step wrong, and even more afraid of smashing and breaking." Gongyi Xiu said, looking straight into the emperor's eyes.
Gong Ye's eyes trembled, he was dumbfounded for a long time, and Fang said: "Xiu, you sometimes make me feel scared." You seem to ...... More than I know my own mind. ā
Gongyi Xiu Tian said lightly: "Your Majesty should feel pleased. ā
"You...... That's right. Gong Ye smiled, but there was a little remembrance and sadness in his eyes, as if the thick fog that had been rising for many years, but he couldn't hide his heart barrier, "Do you know how the first emperor Gong Yao died?" ā
"Legend has it that he was given to death by His Majesty's poisonous wine."
Gong Ye waved his hand, closed his eyes, and opened them for a long time, saying, "My imperial brother, Gong Yao, is ten years older than me. He was only twenty-eight years old when he died, but he had experienced many things that I would never have experienced in my life.
"He has often traveled out of the palace since he was young, and the longest time he has been gone for four years. Father and Queen Mother always talked about him, but I knew that even if they blamed him, they were actually the most indulgent and protective of him.
"Some people criticize me for being jealous of my father's and queen mother's love for my brother, but in fact, I just want to follow my brother and travel with him to those mountains and seas. Rather than always being regarded as a child who had not grown up, and who would never be able to reach the friends he had made outside the home......
"But until the day he died, he still said to me, 'Xiaoye, you haven't grown up yet.'" ā
Gongyi said: "That...... What happened? ā
"That year, it also coincided with the advent of the wind and smoke spectrum, and by chance, with the help of the power of the cloud realm, I raised troops to break through the royal city." Gong Ye's eyes gradually moistened, as if he was damp with the smell of tea in front of the table, "I laid down two cups of poisonous wine in front of the Huanchen Palace. But he said to the imperial brother that one cup is poisonous and one cup is non-toxic, and he wants him and me to drink a cup each, and the life and death of me and him are all decided by this destiny.
"Actually, I have prepared the antidote early in the morning, as long as he is afraid, as long as he pleads, I will give him the antidote. I just want him to understand, I want the royal brother to take a closer look at him as a brother, and I want to prove to him that I also have the ability to subvert his dynasty......
"But you know, what is the choice of the imperial brother?"
Gongyi cultivator said: "He drank two cups of poisonous wine alone. ā
"You...... How do you know? ā
The smile on Gongyi Xiu's face was also a little sad, "Compare your heart to your heart, who has no siblings." Thinking that His Majesty waved his troops to attack the moment, the first emperor was already dead. ā
Gong Ye sighed deeply, "I never thought that the imperial brother would drink two cups of poisonous wine by himself, and the double poison would be combined, and there would be no medicine to cure it, and there was no way to save it......
"I will never forget that day, his body gradually became cold in my arms, his internal organs twitched in pain, but he swallowed the blood in his throat and said the last words he could say in this life."
"What did he say?"
"You want this country, give it to you. But you have to watch it well. ā
Gong Ye said, stood up a little tremblingly, and looked at the snow outside the pavilion sweeping the sky. The north wind blew in the snowflakes and gently fell on his handsome face. His eyelashes were stained with white frost, like a tear that was about to fall.
Gong Yixiu also followed him in silence.
Until the tea soup in the cup was already cold, the wind and snow outside the pavilion gradually stopped.
The slightly dark face of the third brother Gongyi flashed in front of him, and Gongyi took two more hot teas and said, "Only those who make mistakes know how to cherish them more." ā
"It's a pity that even if you know your mistakes, there is no chance to make up for them." Gong Ye was silent for a while, then fell back to his seat and took a sip of tea, "Xiu, you are right, the heavens and the earth are boiling, not everyone is suitable for surviving in this troubled world." But you are the best tea maker in the world, even a handful of rotten tea, in your hands, can also exude a fragrant taste. ā
"What does Your Majesty want to say?"
"I want to find a man, even if he is crazy and stupid, I will overcome all difficulties and make him the heir. If misfortune befalls me, then you ......"
Gong Yixiu interrupted him, "What Your Majesty is looking for is the heir of the first emperor Gong Yao?" ā
Gong Ye showed a comfortable smile on his face, public ritual cultivation, in the end, public ritual cultivation.
"Yes, it's the emperor's brother Gong Yao, the only heir left in the past." Gong Ye said, "This great river and mountain will eventually need to be returned to the hands of his heirs, and I have to be open-minded, and now everything is meaningful." ā
"That'...... Do you have a clue? ā
"When the palace changed in the past, the child Fang was born not long ago, and even his name was not announced to the world."
"In that case, there is a vast sea of people, how can Your Majesty find a baby born sixteen years ago?"
Gong Ye said: "It's not that there are no clues, I know who took that child away." ā
"I can take the prince away from the heavily blocked imperial city," Gongyi said, "I think it must not be an ordinary person." ā
"Not bad." Gong Ye said, "That person is the Jinlan brother who the imperial brother made friends outside, Ye Chen." (To be continued.) )
