Chapter 202: The Palace Couplet (Part II)

The book is picked up again.

When Liu Hong found that Wang Yuan was useless, he turned his gaze to Li Zhi, with a look of blame in his eyes.

Li Zhi also noticed this look, and then slowly walked to Liu Hong's side, and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, we are waiting to use this Wang Yuan, not with his talent, but with his name,

His biggest advantage is his title of "Wang Yun's nephew".

As for being talented and not talented, it is secondary, anyway, the minister will give him ideas behind him, and it doesn't matter if he is a straw bag, but ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi glanced at Wang Yuan, who was nervous, his eyes narrowed, and he came up with a preventive strategy.

After that, Li Zhi continued to Liu Hong: "However, this Wang Yuan is a straw bag, and the minister is afraid that he will not listen to the minister's words, make his own opinions, and ruin the big thing."

Therefore, please also ask Your Majesty to give a decree to the ministers, so that the ministers have the power of life and death over this Wang Yuan! ”

After speaking, Li Zhi saluted Liu Hong and walked back to his position.

When Liu Hong heard this, he instantly turned his anger into joy, and nodded with satisfaction: "What Li Qing said is very true, and I have agreed to this matter." ”

As he spoke, Liu Hong looked at Wang Yuan, his face was solemn, and he said majestically: "Scholar Wang Yuan listens." ”

At this time, Wang Yuan didn't react, and looked at Liu Hong blankly, a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Li Zhi slapped his forehead helplessly, and was angry.

Then, Li Zhi stepped forward, kicked him gently, and scolded him in a low voice: "Salute!" Listen up! ”

"Oh oh..."Wang Yuan finally reacted.

Afterwards, Wang Yuan made a big salute to Liu Hong and said respectfully: "Grass people Wang Yuan, listen to the holy parable." ”

Seeing this, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and gave Li Zhi an appreciative look.

Then, Liu Hong said to Wang Yuan: "I ordered you to be a lieutenant, belong to the Northern Army, and set out to establish the Money and Finance Division, which directly belongs to me and belongs to my own army." ”

Speaking of this, before Liu Hong finished speaking, Wang Yuan was overjoyed, and thanked Liu Hong repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Grass... The minister must live up to His Majesty's trust! ”

At this time, Wang Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that he would become Liu Hong's pro-military captain.

In this way, even Li Zhi, a hussar general, can't control him, won't the sky be high and let the birds fly in the future?

However, before Wang Yuan was happy, he heard Liu Hong continue: "Wang Qing is young and has no experience as an official, I am afraid that Wang Qing will make a mistake, so I will supervise Wang Qing ...... with the hussar general Li Zhi."

Before Liu Hong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Wang Yuan in a hurry: "No, Your Majesty, this matter can be done by the minister alone, and there is no need to bother the hussar general." ”

Seeing this, Liu Hong glanced at him angrily, and said unhappily: "I haven't finished talking yet!" ”

Then, Liu Hong continued: "Li Zhi, the commander of the hussars, holds the sword of me, and has the power of life and death over Wang Yuan.

If Wang Yuan makes any mistakes, Li Qing can hold the sword of me, cut first and then play! ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he smiled slightly, ignored Wang Yuan, who had already stayed aside, and bowed to Liu Hong and said, "Minister Li Zhi is grateful for his order." ”

"Li Qing flattened" After Liu Hong helped him for a while, he waved to a waiter on the side.

After the chamberlain came to Liu Hong's side, Liu Hong whispered something in his ear.

Then, Liu Hong took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the chamberlain.

The waiter nodded, solemnly took the jade pendant, and then hurried away.

After the servant left, Liu Hong said to Li Zhi: "My sword will be entrusted first."

It's in Li Qing's place.

Don't break it, and when the money department is on the right track, you can return the sword to me. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hong was still not at ease, looked at Li Zhi sternly, and admonished: "Li Qing, remember, don't lose my sword!"

If my sword is damaged or lost, I will ask you! ”

When Li Zhiyan heard this, he was a little confused, it was just a sword, how could it be connected to his own life?

However, Li Zhi knew that this was not the time to think about this, so he solemnly assured Liu Hong with a serious face: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely take good care of His Majesty's sword, the sword is in the people, and the sword is destroyed!" ”

Li Zhi didn't take this sentence seriously, because even if this sword was made of tofu, he could keep it intact, and the reason why he said this was just to reassure Liu Hong.

After Liu Hong heard Li Zhi's assurance, he nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, the chamberlain trotted over with a long brocade box in his hand.

When he came closer, he held the brocade box on his head with both hands and whispered to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, the sword has been invited." ”

Liu Hong took the brocade box, touched it with some nostalgia, and then gently opened the brocade box.

After Liu Hong opened the brocade box, he took out a colorful sword inlaid with various gems from it.

Although this sword looks a little old, there is no dust on it, which shows that it must be carefully maintained on weekdays.

Liu Hong took the sword and looked at it for a long time, then beckoned to Li Zhi.

Seeing this, Li Zhi didn't dare to slack off, hurried forward, and whispered to Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

Liu Hong stared at the sword in his hand for a long time before handing the sword to Li Zhi.

Seeing this, Li Zhi bowed, took the sword with both hands, and thanked Liu Hong in his mouth: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift." ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he glanced at Li Zhi angrily: "What beautiful thing does Li Qing want?"

This snake sword is only temporarily lent to you, and you will have to return it to me when you are done using it.

This sword is a sword handed down from my ancestors, how can I give it to someone else?! ”

"Chop... Chop... Snake Slashing Sword!! Hearing this, Li Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the sword, and stammered not knowing what to say.

Li Zhi was already stunned by Liu Hong's generosity, he originally thought that Liu Hong would give him a sword that he usually used, but he didn't expect that Liu Hong would invite out all the snake swords, it was too scary!

After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhi excused himself and said, "Your Majesty, please take back this snake sword."

Just give the minister a sword, this is too valuable, and the minister doesn't dare to take it. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, after thinking for a while, he said with a firm face: "I can trust Li Qing, Li Qing should not shirk anymore, accept it, and return it to me completely in the future." ”

Seeing that Liu Hong was so determined, Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then carefully accepted the sword.

At this moment, Zhang Rang, who was roasting white cranes on the side, stood up.

I saw Zhang Rang holding a black white crane in his hand, and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, the white crane has passed the exam, do you want to taste it?" ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he was in good spirits for a while, and instantly put the matter of cutting the snake sword behind him, and said to Zhang Rang with great interest: "Hurry up and bring it, let me taste it!" ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he hurriedly trotted to Liu Hong, raised the "black white crane" in his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please." ”

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang

The white crane in his hand frowned, but he couldn't do anything.

This black thing is not a good kind at first glance, can it really be eaten? Liu Hong was deeply skeptical about this.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Hong couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, so he tore off a bit of meat from the "black white crane" and filled it in his mouth.

"Huh? "As soon as Liu Hong took a bite, he felt a fishy smell coming, mixed with the smell of burnt charcoal, which made people very disgusting.......

"Hurry up and get me water, I want to rinse my mouth!" Liu Hong opened his mouth and said with a whimper.

His mouth was full of that unpleasant smell at this time, and he almost choked himself.

Seeing this, one of the chamberlains on the side hurriedly brought him a lamp of white water.

Liu Hong snatched the teacup, took a sip of water, and washed up vigorously.

Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong's performance like this, and he also knew that the white crane he took the test was definitely not delicious, but he was full of curiosity, and he also tore a little bit and filled it into his mouth.

"Hmm!" Zhang Rang snorted, his face instantly turned blue, and then turned red.

However, because Liu Hong was present, he couldn't lose his etiquette, so Zhang Rang didn't dare to spit it out like Liu Hong, so he had to swallow it forcibly.

Li Zhi saw Zhang Rang's appearance on the side, and laughed secretly, but he didn't want to, this smile happened to be seen by Zhang Rang.

Seeing Li Zhi laughing at himself, Zhang Rang was slightly angry in his heart, and he had an idea with a roll of his eyes.

After laughing evilly, Zhang Rang suggested to Liu Hong: "Since Your Majesty doesn't like the white crane that the slave and maid barbecue, then it is better to give this white crane to the hussar general."

Let the hussar general taste the rare birds in this imperial garden. ”

Liu Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood what Zhang Rang meant.

However, Liu Hong did not veto, but thought deeply: "On weekdays, Li Qing always looks like he is holding a pearl of wisdom, or... Let him be ugly this time? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Hong nodded at Zhang Rang, and then he looked at Li Zhi with interest.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang was overjoyed, walked to Li Zhi's side with a smile, held the roasted white crane in front of him with both hands, and said respectfully: "Hussar general, please."

This is a reward from His Majesty, but you must eat it. ”

Li Zhi looked at the charred black object in front of him, a little overwhelmed, he is also in a dilemma now, eat... I'm afraid of poisoning myself, so don't eat it... I was afraid that Liu Hong would be angry.

Just when Li Zhi was in a dilemma, the corner of his eye swept to Wang Yuan.

After seeing Wang Yuan, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and then he grabbed the white crane and handed it to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan, who was still gloating, was slightly stunned when he saw Li Zhi actually handing the white crane to him, and asked puzzledly: "What does the hussar general mean by this?"

This is a reward from His Majesty to the hussar general, why should it be given to you? ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he asked Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, can the minister transfer the "delicacies" given by His Majesty to others?" ”

Liu Hong originally just wanted to have some fun, but as for who eats, it doesn't matter, so he nodded and agreed to the matter.

After seeing Liu Hong's agreement, Li Zhi forcibly put the white crane in Wang Yuan's hands, smiled slightly, and said to him: "Prince Wang, please, don't let down Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Wang Yuan looked at the charred black object in his hand with a sad face, and after hesitating for a long time, he didn't know where to start.

Then, Wang Yuan raised his head and looked at Liu Hong, and begged in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, this thing is something given by Your Majesty to the hussar general.

Weichen is humble and doesn't dare to enjoy it, so please let the hussar general eat it......"
