Chapter Twenty-Four: Saving People
Concubine Shu looked at the dancer with a sharp gaze for a while, and then looked at the emperor and said cautiously, "This dancer's eyes are indeed somewhat similar to the eldest princess and the second princess." ”
Yilin Yishan was born to the queen, and the implication is that it is somewhat similar to the queen. Although Concubine Shu's words were tactful, Concubine Yi's gaze had turned into a sharp sword and stabbed coldly.
"Look up." The emperor spoke majestically.
The dancer raised her head tremblingly and met the emperor's stern gaze.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were wandering on the faces of Yilin Yishan and the dancing girl, and Yilin bowed his head to drink tea, calm, Yishan seemed to be unable to accept so many people looking at her for a while, and rubbed her hands uneasily.
A woman whispered, "If you look closely, it does look like it." ”
The emperor stepped down to the palace and walked in front of the dancing girl, "What's your name?" ”
Concubine Yi's face turned green, and a lowly dancer was also worthy of the emperor's eyes? At the moment, I can endure it and wait for the opportunity to move.
"The slave's name is Du Ruoyi." The dancer kowtowed again.
"Ruoyi?" The emperor nodded, "Which if, which one?" ”
The dancer shrank in panic and replied in a low voice, "It is the name of the slave and maid." ”
The emperor was surprised: "Have you ever read?" ”
"When the slave was a child, her mother taught her to read for a few years, and then her family was ruined, so she entered the Lile Hall and became a dancer."
Concubine Yi said leisurely, "Isn't it the name of the princess?" "Pick up the stubble and wait to see a good show, but let her catch a crack, and immediately drill into it, and don't stop if she doesn't stab it, "You are from the Lile Hall, will you not know the name of the princess?" Or is it deliberately disrespectful to the princess? ”
The dancer kowtowed again and again, "The emperor forgives the sin, the mother forgives the sin, and the slave has no disrespect for the princess." The name of the slave maid was set by the mother before her death, and in memory of her mother, she has not changed, the slave and maid are just a dancing girl, and she never thought that she would be asked about her cheap name, and she was lucky. The slave and maid confessed, and the slave and maid went back and immediately changed it. ”
"As you say, always the same. First, it is said to be impartial, not scattered, not mixed, and unchanging. People take one of them, to be refined, to be specialized, to be pure, and the road is complete. The emperor explained in a soothing voice, "This is my intention to name the princess. Since you're a dancing girl, this word doesn't suit you, so go ahead. Du Ruo, it's also good. ”
"Slave and maid, thank you for the emperor's name." The dancer bowed again in thanksgiving.
Concubine Yi's abacus didn't start this time, the emperor not only didn't ask for the guilt, but also changed her name personally, and the treatment of looking like a queen was different. How much does the emperor love the queen, after more than ten years of not standing, when he met a dancing girl with a little color, he was still so gracious, and Concubine Yi was indignant.
"Get up." The emperor was quite interested, "Your dragon flying phoenix dance just now is very interesting, is this dragon and phoenix paper paste?" Why don't you land and fly into the sky instead? ”
Seeing the emperor's smile, the dancing girl was also a lot more relaxed, and got up and replied, "Back to the emperor, this dragon and phoenix is made of extremely thin paper paste, and it is filled with a very light gas, so once you let go, it will fly into the sky." ”
"It's hydrogen." Menghan said silently.
Yu An was puzzled, "Hydrogen? What is it? ”
Meng Han sighed, "I'll explain it to you when I turn around." ”
The emperor was very interested, "Can you pull them down and show them to me?" ”
"Yes." The dancer took a few steps back, threw the red silk in her hand up with the power of rotation, the red silk wrapped around the dragon body, pulled the dragon hard and came down, the dancer carefully pressed the dragon body with her hands, and walked towards the emperor. The emperor stroked the golden light and vivid dragon head, the paper was indeed very thin, as if it could be pierced without a little carelessness.
"Is this gold dust?" The emperor asked, rubbing the golden powder remaining on his fingers.
Seeing that the emperor was very concerned, the dancing girl explained with a bright smile, "Yes, it is made of the finest gold powder mixed in the paste and brushed on the paper, and then the paste is made into a dragon." The gold dust is extremely fine and looks brilliant in different directions under the light. ”
"Oh? Is it? It must have taken a lot of thought. Come, bring the candle flame, I want to take a closer look. ”
The eunuch approached with the candlestick, and Meng Han suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, no!" ”
Before the words fell, the dragon's body exploded with a bang, blazing, the flames were everywhere, and the phoenix on the roof also exploded, paper and sparks flew everywhere, the hall was screaming, the guests were running in a panic, and the scene was chaotic.
Ming An shouted, "Escort, escort!" During the banquet, several military generals quickly got up to protect the emperor and retreated, Cheng Zheng got up and strode towards Yilin, hiding her behind him, "I'm scared of you, are you okay?" ”
As soon as he shook his head, Cheng Zheng was relieved.
Yishan didn't see Cheng Zheng, panicked, and wanted to go to Cheng Zheng, but the maid Blowing Ling pulled to the corner to hide, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and ministers who ran back and forth also blocked Yishan and couldn't move forward. Yishan was very anxious, and Blowing Ling hurriedly comforted, "Master Hou is strong in martial arts, and he will be fine." ”
Yishan's worry did not diminish in the slightest, "He has a wound on his hand." ”
Blowing Ling comforted, "The princess doesn't have to worry, so many people in the palace who don't know martial arts are fine." It will never hurt the Hou Ye. ”
Yishan stood in the corner, crowded with people in front of her, and could only look around anxiously.
Yao Luo rushed over when he heard the sound, commanded to extinguish the fire on Long Feng's body, and sent someone to carefully check the surroundings, and two curtains were ignited by the falling sparks, but fortunately, the fire was not big and was quickly extinguished. The palace people cleaned up the scene quickly, Yao Luo walked to the emperor who was protected by everyone, "Your Majesty, the fire has been extinguished, and the palace has been carefully investigated, please rest assured that the emperor will return to his seat." ”
The emperor nodded, "Send someone to keep an eye on the palace and prepare water, so as not to miss anything, and don't be negligent." ”
"Yes, the ministers will always keep an eye on it, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
When the emperor was seated, the palace had been cleaned, and the concubines were all discolored, the wolves were unbearable, and they complained, and after sitting down, they sorted out their clothes and headdresses from time to time, and they were not interested in feasting.
Cheng Zheng returned to Yishan and sat down, Yishan asked anxiously, "Are you injured, where have you been?" ”
Cheng Zheng soothed, "I'm fine, what about you?" ”
"I'm fine, I can't find you, I'm worried about you."
Cheng Zheng felt sorry for a while, and it had already become his instinct to protect him. This is his wife who has not passed through the door, but he abandoned her at a critical moment. "I'm sorry to worry you."
"It's fine if you're okay." Yishan said thoughtfully.
After everyone sat down, the palace people gave tea to each seat one by one. Ming An said sharply, "What about the dancing girl just now?" ”
Du Ruozhan stepped forward and knelt down tremblingly, "The slave is here." ”
Ming An instructed the outside world, "If you try to harm the emperor, the crime is unforgivable, come and press her into a cell for torture and interrogation!" ”
Du Ruo shouted again and again, "The slave and maid did not harm the emperor, the emperor is clear, the emperor is clear." ”
Just now, the emperor talked to her quite pleasantly, and now in the face of Ming'an's severe execution, he didn't say anything to stop it, Concubine Yi Guifei was secretly excited, the emperor didn't care much about her, the ominous woman who brought disaster as soon as she appeared, no matter how good-looking she looked, can the emperor really tolerate you? It's worth it to be frightened. Concubine Yi showed her signature coquettish smile again.
The people in the hall all looked indifferent, as if the execution of a dancing girl was a small matter, and it was not an exaggeration to compensate for the fright they suffered.
Seeing that no one wanted to say anything to help, and he couldn't see such a beauty being wronged, he was immediately indignant and shouted, "Slow! ”
The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on Menghan, and Yu An knew that he was powerless to stop him, so he pouted and looked at Yuanxin helplessly. Yuanxin also looked helpless, and asked Cheng Zheng for help, Cheng Zheng nodded to reassure, Yuanxin was a little relieved, and it would be fine with Cheng Zheng's presence.
Ming An raised his voice and scolded her, "Bold, who are you, dare to disturb the Holy Driver?" ”
Disturbing the Holy Driver? Are you so bold as to be a dignified Ninety-Five? I'm scaring you when I speak? Menghan secretly cut himself off, and scorned these powerful people who despised other people's lives, regarded others as grass mustard, and pretentiously noble.
Meng Han walked to the hall and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you wronged this dancing girl, and she didn't harm the emperor." "Since I, Yao Menghan, have come to ancient times, I can't come in vain, I have to make a modern appearance. I can't explain such a little scientific truth as a science student, and you are in vain when I was in high school for three years?
Du Ruo pear blossoms brought rain, and Chu Chu looked at Meng Han pitifully, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Ming An reprimanded again, "Presumptuous, who are you, dare to be so rude when you don't worship you!" ”
Yu An hurriedly got up and went to the palace to salute, "The emperor forgives the sin, this is the maid of the courtier, she has been in Pingzhou before, she doesn't know the etiquette, please forgive the emperor for the offense, and the courtier must take it back to be trained well." ”
The emperor waved his hand to signal Yu An to retreat, did not blame Menghan's rudeness, and asked gently, "Before the fire just now, I seemed to hear a 'no', you shouted, right?" ”
"Yes, I shouted." It's rare that the emperor still remembers, I thought everyone was scared and forgot after a fire. Menghan was proud in his heart, Yuanxin was to protect the emperor from a flash flood and was sealed as a marquis, then I can be regarded as predicting an explosion and fire today, cough cough, although it was not so timely, it did not prevent the disaster. If you don't give me an official title, at least you won't kill me, I have no merit and hard work, and I am a person with scientific knowledge without hard work, right?
Seeing that Menghan had a happy face, Yu An glared at her fiercely when he returned to his seat, I knew that I would not come to save you, see how long you can be proud.
Menghan understood what Yu'an meant, and threw a wink, who wants you to save it.
The emperor asked again, "You already knew it would explode?" ”
"Yes." Meng Han replied forcefully, "It's just that I realized it too late, and I still couldn't prevent the accident from happening." ”
"How do you know?"
Menghan said proudly, such as a few family treasures, "I learned when I was in school, the dragon and phoenix are filled with hydrogen, and hydrogen is the lightest gas, so the dragon and phoenix can fly." However, the sealing of the paper is not very good, and it is inevitable that there will be leakage. Hydrogen, on the other hand, is flammable and can explode when impure hydrogen is burned. So this matter has nothing to do with the dancing girl. ”
After speaking, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The emperor didn't seem to agree, "What you said is the head, but unfortunately I didn't understand." ”
"What I said may be a bit professional, and it is normal for the emperor not to understand. The son said that knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. The emperor can admit that he didn't understand, which shows that the emperor is a wise man who seeks truth from facts. ”
Ming An exclaimed, "Bold! Dare to comment on the emperor wantonly! ”
The emperor laughed, "Mingjun? What do you mean by Mingjun? What is a faint king? ”
Menghan knocked on her head, it's bad, it's troublesome, such a profound question, what should I say as a little woman. I'm an IT migrant worker who types code every day, you ask me what a Ming Jun is and what a faint Jun is, do you think I can say something, just bite the bullet, "How about I tell the emperor a story?" ”
The emperor is kind and pleasant, "I listen to you." ”
"Once upon a time, there was an emperor who was very fond of beautiful clothes, and cared for nothing but beautiful clothes, and every day he was either changing his clothes or showing off in new clothes. One day, two people entered the palace and said to the emperor that they could weave the most beautiful cloth in the world and cut the most beautiful clothes in the world...... "The Emperor's New Clothes" came to an end, and Menghan smacked his lips and wanted to drink water.
After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean that I want to kill Du Ruo to despise the truth, and you are the child who dares to tell the truth." Do you think I'm a faint king? ”
"Not really. The emperor is a wise monarch, a wise monarch who dares to face the truth and admit his shortcomings. "It's a lot of verbosity, it's not in vain, this emperor is quite good.
The emperor disagreed, "The truth? How do you prove that what you say is the truth? ”
"This, I can prove it, but I need to do it in advance." Although Menghan is confident, after all, it was so many years ago, and now it is estimated that he can't even write the chemical reaction equation correctly. I can't recall it all for a while, but I have to think about it carefully, if it is a live drill, what can I do if I miss it, what can I do, I have been talking for a long time, maybe I will be pushed to the guillotine like Du Ruo.
"Okay, I'll give you three days. When you come to the palace three days later, if you can prove that what you say is true, I will let Du Ruo go. Otherwise, you will lose your honor in front of the palace, deceive the king, and you will not be able to control it, so think about the consequences yourself. ”
Menghan shuddered, come to the truth, I can't find the true scriptures without suffering, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the Buddha will bless me. Menghan silently recited Amitabha Buddha a few times, cheering up his momentum, "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”
