Chapter 34: The Palace {Collect}
Grandpa Sun has come to announce the decree.
It was the emperor's dictation that asked Liu Shangwu to go to the imperial study immediately to meet him.
"Grandpa Sun, you have worked hard! Oh, this is an authentic century-old ginseng, and I don't have anything valuable, so my father-in-law doesn't want to see it. Liu Shangwu said, took out the gift box from the corner of the carriage, and handed it to Sun Gonggong.
"General, you are too polite, this hundred-year-old ginseng is a rare treasure. Benjia, where is this embarrassing. Grandpa Sun was polite, just like the cat saw the fishy smell, quickly stretched out his paws, and grabbed it. I am afraid that Liu Shangwu will change his hexagram.
Quickly open the gift box, sniff vigorously with your nose, and then exhale slowly. Grandpa Sun, who has lived in the palace for a long time, is indeed an expert, and said: "Smelling the bitterness, it is sweet in the throat, it is really the best!" ”
Liu Shangwu thought to himself, it's a pity that such a good mountain ginseng was fed to the dog!
Seeing that, Grandpa Sun, who was full of joy on his face, slapped his thigh and said, "Look, I just don't remember when I'm old." No, the prince asked me to bring you a letter. With the words, he took out a letter from his bosom.
Liu Shangwu scolded in his heart, you old bastard, Lao Tzu didn't have this blood, you didn't get the root of the imperial city to give me this letter? If there's something going on, it's too late to do anything. Watching you act, it's like the real thing!
"It's okay, Prince Qing may not have seen me for a long time, and he knows that I am back in Kyoto, so I ask you to send a letter." Liu Shangwu choreographed and said.
"Ahh It is, it is. "Father-in-law Sun promised and said in his heart, the old ginseng has already received it, don't worry what you say! Doesn't it matter if it's entrusted to me? Fool the hell!
Looking at the letter, Liu Shangwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father-in-law Liu, you wait a minute. The emperor wants to see new things, please take it with you, it's inconvenient for me to take it with me. After speaking, he called his own soldiers to take a large wooden box.
Liu Shangwu is really annoyed, annoyed that this grandfather and grandfather goose have plucked their feathers, and annoyed that this waste has wasted so many tongues, it is all false and wrongful.
Grandpa Sun was also depressed in his heart, this Liu Shangwu looked at the five big and three coarse, and said "The emperor wants to see novel objects" and said that the extra money was gone. The heart said, wait and see! If you play this house, see how I embarrass you.
The hearts of people are separated from the belly, which is the true portrayal of these two people. Each thinks about his own heart, and talks nonsense that is not nutritious. Unconsciously, I also came to the imperial city gate.
Unexpectedly, the commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army was patrolling. It is estimated that he received the news that the emperor summoned the general Liu Shangwu and was waiting for it.
"Commander Li is here! The emperor of this family passed on General Liu, which is a waist card. Grandpa Sun said, handing out the waist card.
Glancing at the waist card from a distance, Commander Li said: "Actually, Gonggong Li's face is more secure than this waist card. Right? Grandpa Sun. After speaking, he looked at Liu Shangwu and said, "This is the general, right?" ”
"That's it, that's it." Grandpa Sun agreed, faintly feeling a little congratulatory in his heart. Being complimented, I still feel very comfortable in my heart.
"The last general, I've seen General Liu." Commander Li said with a fist and a salute.
"Commander Li is out of sight." Liu Shangwu just hugged his fists and saluted back.
This Li Commander is Li Shuang's eldest brother Li Qiang. Obviously, Liu Shangwu himself is alive and well, but his younger brother Li Shuang and a large group of people have no shadow, and it is impossible that there is no doubt in his heart, but there is no conclusive news and no handle now. When Liu Shangwu saw Li Qiang's steadiness, he knew that he was not an easy master to deal with.
"General, where the duty is, you know, you have to check it when you meet the emperor." Li Qiang said, walked to Liu Shangwu's side, and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Yes, please!" Liu Shangwu said and raised his arm slightly.
Li Qiang started from the ankle, and when his hands groped all the way to his waist, he pushed out with both hands. Liu Shangwu took half a step back and regained his footing. Seeing that Li Qiang took three steps back, he was stunned on the spot. The forbidden army choked and drew his sword, and when he saw Li Qiang waving his hand, he retreated again.
Li Qiang pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "The general is good at kung fu, and the last general admires it!" As he spoke, he hugged his fists again.
"Where? It's just that you're a few years older and practice longer. Liu Shangwu was annoyed in his heart, and he was still greeting him. said in my heart, sure enough, your Li Jiajing did something to steal chickens and touch dogs, and seeing that you have a hearty appearance, you are also dirty in your heart. If you hadn't been prepared in your heart, wouldn't you have pushed me to squat?
Royal Palace, very quiet! If you don't see a human figure in the quiet, it's like a pure land.
Liu Shangwu knew that this was all an illusion. Everyone here who can live and move freely is not simple, without using a punch or kick, it will make life worse than death by mouth and scheming, how can there be a person who is good at stubble?
It was quiet in the study. The emperor of Antai is a rare king who is diligent in court politics, and he is always very careful about the review of the folds, so that each chapter of the folds will be carefully reviewed.
Gently pushing the door open, Grandpa Sun was as silent as a cat, lest the wind brought by walking disturb the burning candle flame, and said very slightly: "Your Majesty, General Liu Shangwu is waiting for the order outside the imperial study. ”
After a long time, he closed the fold after the review, looked up and said, "Xuan!" ”
Liu Shangwu waited outside the imperial study for most of the hour, waiting for a simple word. Liu Shangwu was very annoyed, and said in his heart, you are warm in the house on this cold day, do you come out and stand and give it a try? Spit out a word in your mouth for a long time, do you feel very domineering?
I thought in my heart, I still couldn't push the door and enter the imperial study, and I had to wait for my grandfather Sun to pass it.
Following Sun Gonggong into the imperial study, Liu Shangwu knelt down and said to the ground, "Long live my emperor!" Minister, Liu Shangwu wishes my emperor blessings such as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan! ”
"Get up! It's cold to kneel on the ground. The emperor said.
"Yes!" Liu Shangwu responded. Get up and stand aside respectfully.
"Grandpa Sun, go down!" The emperor took a sip of tea, felt slightly cold, and put it aside casually, frowning slightly.
Grandpa Sun stumbled, put the wooden box in his arms on the bookcase, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the novelty you want to see." After speaking, he picked up the emperor's teacup with both hands, secretly glanced at the emperor's face, and turned around to fill the teacup.
When he walked out of the imperial study, he was as silent as a cat.
Liu Shangwu scolded in his heart, you old bastard, at this time, you have to confirm whether it is the emperor who wants to see the object.
"This is what the prince said, the repeater?" Huang Shang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Your Majesty, it's a repeater." Liu Shangwu replied respectfully with both hands.
"Why did the prince know that there was a repeater first? Why have I never seen you mention it? Why did you bring it to Beijing? The emperor asked three whys in one breath, his face was not happy or annoyed, and he was as calm as a tea guest in a roadside tea stall.
Liu Shangwu was very distressed by the emperor's wisdom, he hid the secret of the repeater, how could he tell him if he had no choice? As for what the prince told the emperor about the crossbow, it was just that the prince wanted to show the emperor through this matter that Liu Shangwu had always been the prince's neighbor, and he had never been divided for many years. The prince and the emperor are brothers, as long as the relationship between the two brothers does not break down, isn't it the same as the emperor's neighbor?
"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will report slowly." Liu Shangwu said, looking up and sneaking a look at the emperor sitting in front of the bookcase.
Seeing that he nodded slightly, Liu Shangwu said: "Minister, I know that the emperor is benevolent and loves the common people in the world. This repeater has more damage than the bow and arrow, and the minister always feels that it hurts the heavens and goes against the benevolence of our emperor. As he spoke, he peeked at the emperor again, saw that he was slightly happy, and then said: "So the minister hesitated in his heart, so he asked the prince to report to my emperor in advance, and asked the emperor to be considerate of the minister and forgive the minister's unfulfilled sin." After saying that, he knelt down again and bowed his head to the ground.
Tapping lightly on the bookcase with his fingers, the emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Flatten, atone for your innocence!" Looking up and down at Liu Shangwu, who got up, he nodded and said, "I, it's true that I love the people of the world!" It does not mean that the foreign nations who are eyeing me will be benevolent, nor does it mean that they will also be benevolent to the rebellious ministers and thieves who have wolf ambitions. After a slight pause, he said with a smile: "There is a stool behind you, find a stool to sit down." ”
Liu Shangwu only felt it at this time, a slight cold feeling on his back, and he didn't know when he broke out in a cold sweat. Since he was given a stool to sit on, it shows that the emperor likes his repeater very much, and the hanging heart has finally been implemented.
"Have you tested the power of the repeater?" The emperor asked with interest, opened the box and looked at it carefully.
"Your Majesty, it has been tested. At the same time, more than 100 more arrows were shot at the same time than the bow and arrow. Liu Shangwu agreed respectfully.
"Doesn't that mean that one person can top a hundred?" The emperor was very excited and said.
"My Emperor Shengming! The border soldiers supplemented by crossbows infiltrated the territory of the barbarians as if they were in a no-man's land. Before Emperor Hongfu and Weichen came to Kyoto to resume their lives, the people of Da'an Tai did not lose a grain of grain and captured countless barbarian horses. Liu Shangwu said excitedly, and did not forget to compliment the emperor.
"Good! Good! Good! The emperor stroked his hands and praised again and again, looked at Liu Shangwu's eyes, full of approval, and said: "Ming'er is an early dynasty, let that group of officials who are not enterprising see what kind of merit this is!" ”
Liu Shangwu thought to himself, show them? Doesn't it give them another reason to envy, envy, and hate? I was upset when I thought about it, but I didn't dare to show anything on my face.
"Let me think about what reward ...... you." The emperor said.
Liu Shangwu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is all the duty that Weichen should do for my emperor." How dare you ...... a meager achievement. Seeing that the emperor waved his hand, he hurriedly stopped his words.
"I have made you an auxiliary general. Your heir also has a reward, Rong Zhen will think about it again, and I will talk about it early tomorrow. Are you satisfied? The emperor smiled and said, suddenly remembering that he did not know the name of his son, and asked, "...... your heir." ”
Liu Shangwu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the name of the Weichen dog is Zuochen. ”
