Chapter 148: The Emperor summons you
Maybe it's because my eyes are very sincere, Princess Pingyang believed what I said.
"Okay, I'm not going, let my men go with you." Pingyang nodded, this matter is in the past. You know, I didn't know the bottom in my heart just now, if this matter was known to Pingyang, in the palace, I would really die.
At noon, a little eunuch led me to the Imperial Garden. Not to mention, this emperor will enjoy it, there are rockeries in this imperial garden, there are artificial lakes, and all kinds of precious but unnamed flowers, during this period, there are some cute little animals shuttling in it.
I looked along the path of the garden to both sides, and there was a gazebo on one of the high ground in the garden. On the top of the pavilion sat a man in yellow clothes, and that was Emperor Wu. On the other side, there sat a man dressed in purple, and that man had a large golden dragon on his clothes. At this time, the two of them were sitting on the stone chairs in the pavilion, talking and laughing.
At the four corners of the pavilion, a man stood in each of them. They weren't eunuchs, and each of them had swords on them, and they looked like Ouchi guards.
"Little orange, I don't know who the person sitting opposite the emperor is, how can I sit on an equal footing with the emperor and talk and laugh?" This guy is not ordinary, maybe he is a prince or something, otherwise, why is there a big dragon embroidered on his clothes? However, even if he is a prince, he can't be on an equal footing with the emperor. You know, this ancient status hierarchy is very serious. Even the emperor's mother didn't dare to interfere in the government when she saw the emperor. Even the emperor's father, the Emperor Taishang, could not command the government in the back.
The emperor is the emperor, the biggest person in the world. His right can make the entire empire tremble. Such a person can only be one, and not two.
"Oh, Lord Dongfang, how did you become a great official? Why don't you even know this person, this person is the emperor's younger brother, that is, the current King Rui. The little eunuch's face was full of incredulity, and he felt that everyone in the palace knew about it. Or to put it this way, this King Rui doesn't know anyone in Chang'an. I didn't expect this Dongfang Shuo to not know this person, it's really strange.
This is the second time I've heard this name, and it turns out that this man is King Rui, the man behind the loan sharks. In other words, you were born in the emperor's house, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking all your life, why can't you settle down a little and do such a business. Did you know that persecuting a poor person like this can easily lead to the death of a person? Are the people worthless in your eyes?
"Oh, so he's the King of Rui." I nodded, I knew why he could sit with the emperor and talk and laugh.
The two of us wandered around for about five minutes before we finally reached the bottom of the pavilion. The little eunuch took me to kneel down directly, and he said, "Long live the emperor, the prince of the East has brought it over." ”
"Oh, the Oriental grass is here, it's good, it's good." Emperor Wu said with a smile, glanced at me and then said, "Dongfang, come up, I'll introduce you to someone." I straightened my clothes and walked to the pavilion.
"Dongfang Shuo, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" I quickly knelt down and began to speak.
"Okay, you and I don't have to be so restrained. Get up. "Emperor Wu seems to be in a good mood, and I am not hypocritical, so I stand up directly.
"Dongfang, come here, introduce you to a person, this is King Rui, the younger brother of the widow."
"Ah, it turned out to be His Royal Highness King Rui, Dongfang Shuo visited King Rui Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." This guy, fortunately my waist is good, otherwise, good guy, it would be broken. Seriously, now that I finally know that these ministers are not easy, no matter who they see in the royal family, they must first kneel on the ground and say goodbye.
"You're Dongfang Shuo, well, that's good." Ruiwang boy asked me to get up, and I consciously stood next to the two of them.
At this time, I can take a good look at this Rui Wang. He looks similar to Emperor Wu, with a pair of sword eyebrows and a pair of dragon eyes, and he looks majestic. Although it is said that he does not have the temperament of Emperor Wu, he has the style of a general. This feeling makes my heart tremble.
"Dongfang, how about sending the Huns this time?"
"This ...... I'm fine, I'm back safely, but...... Su Wuta...... Su Wu Ta! "I said in an unkind tone, this directly aroused Emperor Wu's thoughts.
"Su Wu? My dear minister, what's wrong with him? Emperor Wu looked at me and asked with concern.
Su Wuhe ...... "I turned around and touched it in my arms, but fortunately, I left half a green onion, which is better than nothing:" The two of us were attacked by the Huns, and I ran back with a roll. But Su Wu did not have such good luck and was directly captured by the Huns. ......"
"Could it be that Su Wu is dead?"
"No, there is no emperor for this. It's just Su Wuta...... He was captured by the Huns and taken to herd sheep. I said sadly.
"Go, this guy's name is really big." The emperor shook his head in disappointment and said, "Forget it, the widow originally wanted to posthumously crown him as a martyr or something, and called on all the ministers to learn from him." It's okay now, I don't need anything, it's really disappointing. ”
A cold chill appeared on my forehead, this guy didn't worry about Su Wu at all, it seemed that he was just trying to be a model.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing that Wei Chen doesn't know. Why does one have to die to be a model of learning? ”
"Of course, how could you not know. You say, if you let a living person be a model, he won't be convinced if he picks you. Pick her and you're uncomfortable. Where is the balance in this world? But if the dead are different, no one compares, no one is unconvinced, this is the best. Hey. ”
"Holy Wise ......" I'm a little speechless, no wonder they all say that the people of the Emperor's House are clever, it turns out that this is true! It seems that it's time again, and I have to say that being an emperor must be ruthless!
"Dongfang Shuo stepped forward to listen to the seal ......"
As soon as I heard this, I quickly knelt on the ground.
"Dongfang Shuo and Su Wu sent envoys to the Huns this time, and they were high and bright, and they did not disgrace their mission, which was really hard work. The widow decided to hold a banquet in Changle Palace tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for you. On the other hand, a reward of 1,000 taels of gold is a consolation for you. ”
"Thank you, Lord Longen......!" I hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor. However, at this time, he complained about what the emperor said in his heart. High wind and bright festival, not dishonoring the mission? Moreover, these two idioms are really scary to me. In other words, I went to the Huns on the way, but I didn't say anything, and I almost became an old woman's lamb. If it weren't for Xiaorou appearing at a critical moment, how could I be where I am today?
