Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Court Juju
"Chen Mojue see the emperor."
After a while, Mo Jue came to the back of the table and bowed down.
Li Shimin slowly came to Mo Jue's face, helped him up with both hands, and said with a smile:
"Mo Jue, now there are only you and me here, so you don't have to be rigid about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. Tell me what I told you to do. ”
"Yes." Mo Jue said bluntly, "As soon as the minister received the emperor's order, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to the Western Turks to inquire about the news. This morning, I received a message from the flying pigeon, which said that the lord of Chanji had indeed been in Xue Yantuo before. The general of heaven took refuge, but he had left two months ago, and it is said that he went to Putuo in Zhoushan alone. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly showed a little surprise. He really couldn't imagine that the county lord of Chan Ji, who usually seemed to be ignorant of the world, would have the courage to go south and north like this.
It is said that he is talented and beautiful, and it seems that Brother Jiang Yuanxian has really found someone of equal strength, no wonder Yiru's sister is so beautiful and moving, and she can't impress him in the slightest. Even I have a little admiration for him.
It's just that this Zhoushan Putuo, although it is a land of immortals, is also a realm that very few people can reach, and this Canji county lord goes here, and he doesn't know what kind of encounter it is. If he really gets together with Jiang Yuanxian's brother again and is asked by him, he is afraid that it will be difficult to explain.
"The emperor can rest assured that the minister has sent someone to Zhoushan Putuo, and if the county lord of Canji is fine, he can secretly follow him left and right to protect him. If you encounter danger, you will come forward to save her, and you will never hurt her in the slightest. ”
Mo Jue saw that Li Shimin didn't speak, and knew what the emperor was thinking, so he continued.
When Li Shimin heard him say this, his heart widened slightly, turned to look at Mo Jue, and said with a slight bow:
"Mo Jue, you are very thoughtful, it is really difficult for you."
Mo Jue was very happy when he heard the emperor's affirmation, but he didn't show it on the surface, so he still replied respectfully:
"The emperor praises falsely, and the ministers must obey the emperor's orders, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire."
With that, he turned around and wanted to leave. However, when his right foot was about to step out of the threshold, he retracted it again.
"Mo Jue, what else do you have to do?" Seeing this, Li Shimin asked curiously.
This Panmen army led by Mo Jue and Chen Ling, although it is stationed outside Chang'an City all the year round, does not conflict with the duties of Jin Wuwei under the command of Lu Yi. However, in reality, a small number of elites have been carrying out missions in the shadows under the Emperor's secret forbidden army. Therefore, when it comes to the secrets in Datang, they are the first to bear the brunt of the know.
"Your Majesty, do you know that King Han has recently done something extremely vigorous."
Mo Jue turned to look at Li Shimin and reported solemnly.
"Oh?" Li Shimin blinked, looking incredulous.
In his memory, although the sixth brother Li Yuanchang was the king of Han, he was different from other kings and nobles since he was a child, and he had always been supple and extremely well-behaved and obedient. It's really hard to imagine that a person like this will make a big splash.
"Mo Jue, are you right?"
Mo Jue saw that the emperor was looking at him inexplicably, and knew that this matter must have been deliberately concealed by the King of Han, since the other party intended to act, and it was not something that harmed the interests of the court, then he would simply push the boat down the river and pretend to be confused.
"Oh, Your Majesty, the minister remembered that there are still some things in my military camp, and this matter is not so powerful anyway, let's wait until we get back."
After speaking, Mo Jue didn't wait for Li Shimin's command, he quickly turned around, and the soles of his feet were oiled.
Li Shimin's eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of doubt. This Mo Jue is also really, only half of the words. Fishing for people's appetites, but not giving a positive answer, what kind of little ninety-nine is hidden in this?
Soon, there were wonderful scenes in Li Shimin's mind. However, each hypothesis seems to have nothing to do with the temperament of King Han, but his gossip heart has become stronger.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up this kind of imagination for no reason, continue to return to the table, and sketch the appearance of Princess Chuyun in his heart.
It was the third watch of the night, and a heavy snow suddenly fell in the sky, and large snowflakes quickly covered the road surface of the palace, and there was a white patch everywhere. Strange to say, when it came to the fourth watch, the snow suddenly stopped. The rising sun shines brightly on the snow.
In the courtyard of the General's Mansion, Shan Zhuokun saw this beautiful snow scene, and suddenly had a whim. Since the scenery is so beautiful, why not come to the palace snow juju competition? It just so happens that you can also speed up your relationship with everyone by the way.
Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun deliberately brought a juju when he went to court.
At this time, the Daming Palace was shrouded in a layer of white white, and the snow covering the road had already been cleared by the palace people who got up early, and only a thin layer of ice ballast remained on the road.
After a while, as soon as Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin arrived in front of the ministers, the juju in their arms immediately attracted everyone's curiosity. Even Lu Yi, who originally maintained order and made the scene quiet, couldn't help but come close and point to the ball and ask.
"Master Shan, what is the round thing in your arms?"
"Lord Lu, you don't know, this thing is called Keju."
Due to his youth, Yu Chi Baolin has always been in a forgotten corner. At this moment, seeing that he had become the center of attention, he suddenly flew up with joy, and said in a show-off tone.
"Oh? Keju? ”
Everyone was even more surprised, if you want to say that the Tang Dynasty is a treasure of heaven, there are indeed a lot of strange objects. What polo, hammer pills, etc., are endless. Only this Keju is the first time in his life that he knows it.
"Then Master Shan, is this juju beaten or thrown?" Fang Xuanling was also interested in this.
Although he is the first member of the Prime Minister's Group, his favorite thing in his life is not wisdom, but sports, and one of his hobbies in life is fitness. It's just that his performance in strategy is too prominent, so later people regard him as a weak civil servant, which is actually a complete fallacy that does not seek to understand.
"I don't know what the room is, this thing is neither beaten, nor thrown." Shan Zhuokun deliberately sold a pass when he said this, coughed, and then continued to say slowly, "It's a kick." ”
"Kicked?" Fang Xuanling shook his head, "This is also strange, the ball that Benxiang has touched before is not less, but I have never heard of kicking football." I don't know if Master Shan is willing to give us a demonstration, so that I can open my eyes. ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly, and picked the bottom end of Keju with the index finger of his right hand. With a slight turn of his fingertips, Kemari also spun.
"Please keep an eye on it, adults."
After Shan Zhuokun said this, his body suddenly rose into the air. As his feet moved back and forth flexibly, Keju seemed to suddenly come to life, conjuring up countless tricks.
The courtiers were stunned for a moment, and applauded and applauded, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.
"I didn't expect Master Shan's ball skills to be so good, but I really didn't expect it." Fang Xuanling smiled at Li Yuanchang.
"This is natural, Master Shan is not only a civil and military all-rounder, but also this fortune-telling reasoning and feng shui are extremely effective. If there is a need in the future, tell the king at any time, and the king will always have some friendship with him. Li Yuanchang happily replied.
As a friend, it was the first time for him to be able to affirm Shan Zhuokun in public like this, and he was naturally very happy when he thought of this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how about we come to the game together?"
Suddenly, Shan Zhuokun suddenly kicked a flying ball, then slid his left hand into the air, and after a beautiful arc, he firmly grasped the ball in his hand. Then, he stopped, smiled and said to the ministers who were looking at him with envy.
"Well, it's good, but I don't know how the ball is?" Yu Chi Baolin scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "By the way, there is either ice or snow on this ground, even if you run, you will definitely slip." ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly, looking confident.
"It's not that hard."
After that, he asked Lu Yi to send five of Jin Wuwei's guards to the imperial dining room to get coarse salt for cooking. When they returned, they sprinkled salt on the snow-covered pavement.
