Chapter 308 [Ninth Apprentice, Talking and Laughing]
How old are you this year?
Are there any teachers?
As soon as Li Yun asked this, the audience was suddenly silent, and the ministers looked at Cui Hao with shock on their faces.
Even Emperor Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and also glanced at Cui Hao thoughtfully.
Can anyone hear what Li Yun means by this?
In front of everyone's eyes, Cui Hao reacted the fastest, but when he saw this thing, he was surprised, his tone trembled, and he said loudly: "Back to the lord of Bohai, the junior is twenty-eight years old this year, born in the Qinghe Cui family, which is barely a branch, but the junior has an extremely low status in the clan, and the treatment is not much different from the Cui family's children......"
If it is described in a sentence in later generations, this thing is talking like a machine gun at this time, and it is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and he keeps talking about it, Li Yun obviously only asked him about his youth and studies, but this thing can't wait to say everything over and over again.
But seeing that his face was full of eagerness, he gasped and continued: "Also, the younger generation has already started a family, but has not yet established a business, the cold wife is from the bank of the Qing River, and she is a village girl between the neighbors, although she is a village girl, but she knows the reason, the younger generation teaches her to read from time to time, and she weaves and farms for me to study......"
The farther he talked, he actually began to introduce his family, and the ministers present listened inexplicably, but after thinking about it, they felt that there was no abruptness.
Anyone who is suddenly asked by Li Yun about his age and studies will probably be as excited and excited as Cui Hao.
I saw Cui Hao spew out a few mouthfuls of hot air in a row, and said urgently: "Also, the younger generation has been married for eight years, and my wife has raised two children for me, the eldest is six years old, the younger one is three years old, both are male babies, they are well-behaved and lovely, and when the New Year is celebrated in the future, the younger generation will definitely bring the children to you to see you." ”
Sure enough, it is a shameless goods, and he revealed his thoughts as he spoke, this goods himself is twenty-eight years old, but he called himself a junior to Li Yun, and pulled his child out, saying that he would worship every year in the future.
The ancients paid attention to modesty and prudence, and the scholars paid attention to arrogance, and the behavior of this product was obviously unpleasant.
However, at this moment, no one dared to underestimate him.
There is no fool who can mix with the court, observing words and colors is the first element of being an official, today's matter, twists and turns, Cui Hao, this kid can be asked by the lord of the Bohai Sea, and he has obviously entered the eyes of the lord of the Bohai Sea.
If you just ask about the official position, asking the official position is at most to give reuse, but the lord of the Bohai State asks about age and education, which makes the ministers dare not underestimate it.
"The Lord of Bohai has carved a total of nine jade pendants, Cui Hao, this kid ......"
This was the thought that flashed in the hearts of all the ministers at the same time, and even Emperor Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly.
Sure enough, I only heard Li Yun smile, and suddenly said in a meaningful tone: "Twenty-eight years old, even six years older than me, if you count it according to age, I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable." ”
"No, no, no, no!"
Where did Cui Hao dare to let Li Yun continue, only to see that this thing's head shook like a rattle, and he roared urgently: "Since ancient times, there are clouds, the master is the first, and the people are ninety old people, not necessarily better than fifteen young people, if there is any difficulty, please thank you for it." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yun, swallowed his mouth and said: "Although the younger generation is already twenty-eight years old, but twenty-eight years is only a long time, the lord of the country emerged when he was young, and it only took six years to shock the world, fight the Yellow River, and sweep Liaodong, your achievements have surpassed the ancients, how can you use age as a limit......
"Hahahaha!"
Li Yun laughed loudly, stared at the goods and said, "You are really a little clever ghost!" ”
As soon as these words were said, Cui Hao's heart was suddenly overjoyed.
Little Clever Ghost!
This is not something that can be said casually.
Only the elders call the younger generation, will use this kind of ridiculous language, the lord of the Bohai Sea is younger than himself, it is said that he cannot use this language, but the lord of the country said this kind of thing in front of everyone, it is clear that he really puts his identity on the junior.
"Lord, I, junior I ......" Cui Hao's heart was beating violently at this moment, and he only felt that his words were a little disadvantageous, he tried to swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, wanting to show his calmness, but for some reason he couldn't calm down, and even his hands and feet began to tremble.
"This is the only chance of my life!" There was a constant roar in his head, and there seemed to be only one voice in heaven and earth.
At this time, he heard the voice of the lord of Bohai again, but listened to Li Yundao: "Six years ago, I was a homeless person in Chang'an, sleeping on the street, eating soup kitchen, and my life was hesitant and very miserable. ”
"Why did you suddenly start introducing yourself?"
The ministers present were slightly stunned, and looked at Li Yun with some puzzlement, after all, Li Yun's past was well known, and everyone couldn't understand why he had to say it again.
But seeing Li Yun suddenly turn around and bend down towards Li Shimin, he said with emotion: "Your Majesty, I want to thank you for the opportunity first!" ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little puzzled, but the emperor immediately nodded happily, and said in a gentle voice: "Although it is the court at this time, but you are the lord of the country, if you are here to tell me about state affairs, then you can call your majesty, but now you want to thank me, you should call me the second master......"
"Good!"
Li Yun nodded solemnly and said, "Just call you second uncle." ”
He continued to bend down to show respect, smiled and re-spoke, and said, "Second master, thank you for the opportunity." ”
Li Shimin was satisfied and said, "I am an elder, and I deserve it." The emperor's eyes flashed as he spoke, he looked at Li Yun with curiosity, and said, "Do you want to collect the ninth apprentice?" ”
These words shocked the hearts of the Manchu ministers.
Cui Hao was trembling all over!
Li Yun took a breath lightly, he did not answer Li Shimin's question, but turned to look at Cui Hao, and continued to himself: "Your Majesty gave me the opportunity to change from a homeless person to a royal family, from that day on, my life has been different, Chang'an salt production, the Yellow River battle, the development of Hebei, sitting in Fanyang, and later went to Guanwai, the first war swept Liaodong, the Bohai Kingdom is under construction, and I was also given the title of the first prince of the Tang Dynasty......"
He paused at this point, and said in a tone of feeling: "From a homeless person to a prince, in just six years, the gap between heaven and earth, the world says that I am strong, but I don't know that the opportunity given by His Majesty is equally important!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Cui Hao, then looked at the ministers present, and said softly: "What is the opportunity?" Opportunity is the hand stretched out by others when the tribulation, the opportunity is the love of the down-and-out, this is the breadth of the human race, but also the inheritance of the young and the old, at that time I was thinking, if one day I have this ability, I also want to give people the opportunity to change their fate, so, I carved nine jade pendants! ”
Cui Hao tried to swallow his saliva, feeling his heart pounding.
The ministers present looked at this kid with envy, and kept comparing him with their own children in their hearts, and everyone could hear that Li Yun was about to get to the point.
Sure enough, I only heard Li Yun smile leisurely, and said again: "I carved nine jade pendants, and five of them have been issued first, and these five jade pendants are a little inexplicable, and my disciples also have five more apprentices because of it, those five guys are well known, and there are flaws in their personalities, but how can a person have no defects in his life, I feel very satisfied with the five guys......
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said in a slightly ridiculous tone: "Cheng Chumo, Li Chongren, Liu Renshi, Fang Yiai, Yu Chi Baolin, once the five great sons of Chang'an, are now all on their own, although they still like to babble, but they have an adult demeanor. ”
Cui Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva again, and his two hands were trembling slightly.
Li Yun seemed to deliberately fail to see his excitement, and suddenly put the two children in his arms on the ground, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and whispered softly: "Today's coincidence, the jade pendant was issued continuously, first there was Bao Hong, the name was given to kill, and then there was Li You, who was taken as Bai Ding, and received two apprentices in one day, I originally thought it was the joy of life......
"Say me, hurry up and talk about me!" Cui Hao was as impatient as a cat scratching in his heart, and he only felt that a kind of desire was about to burst out.
Finally, he waited for what he wanted.
I saw a deep meaning to look at him, and suddenly laughed and said: "Some things are not beautiful after a long time, keeping the ninth jade pendant may not be able to meet good materials, people should live in the present, should not expect the future, fate this thing, it is really wonderful, even if you meet better talents in the future, but he has lost the opportunity to worship me, although you are slippery and shameless, but I appreciate you, if you feel willing in your heart, take the ninth jade pendant......"
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out the last piece of jade pendant he had with him.
Cui Hao was so excited that he was about to go crazy.
A heart beating in my chest was about to explode.
"It's me, it's really me ......"
Poof!
The thing fell directly to its knees, trembling uncontrollably.
He is a scholar, the oldest of all Li Yun's apprentices, although he is slippery and shameless, but the etiquette is far beyond everyone, he first respectfully gave Li Yun a big salute, and then kowtowed nine times in a row in the most solemn way, five bodies fell to the ground, tears flowed, only then did he dare to choke and stretch out his hand, trembling and trembling to take the ninth jade pendant.
As far as the eye can see, there are two hammers engraved.
When I turned over the back, it was clearly two words.
Laughing!
The ninth apprentice of the Lord of the Bohai Sea.
"From today on, I'm Cui Haocui talking and laugh......ing," he muttered while holding the jade pendant, and for some reason the tears flowed even more.
He seemed to whisper and said: "I have always claimed to be the Qinghe Cui clan, in fact, few people know that my branch has been remote to the extreme, from childhood to adulthood, how much bullying has been suffered, wearing patched clothes, living in a tattered thatched hut, my mother helped people wash clothes and wash her hands in order to provide me with education, my father knelt in the Cui ancestral hall for more than ten days in order to get me a piece of clan land, when I married my wife, I couldn't even get a piece of red cloth, and finally I could only take out my mother's piece back then, and the tattered ones were used as my wife's red hijab......"
Maybe it was because happiness came too suddenly, his memories became too much, and he muttered: "Even if I became a petty official later, I had to kneel down and thank you when I met my grandson, and I made all the thanks, and they laughed at me for marrying a cripple village girl, but they didn't know that my lame wife opened up the wasteland and farmed for me to buy books, and they didn't know that I was not qualified to use the pen and ink provided for free in the family studies, and my daily use for reading and learning calligraphy was dug out by my lame wife facing the loess with her back to the sky." ”
Suddenly wiped a handful of tears, as if crying and laughing: "I'm shameless, I'm slippery, I just want to work hard to climb up, I want to be a more big official, so that my wife can live a better life, everyone laughs at me, but I'm safe, but it's really tiring to climb up, I don't know how long I can last, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately ......"
Bang!
He suddenly kowtowed again, his head hit the ground hard, the tears in his eyes surged again, and the choked words were sad, he seemed to want to say a word of thanks to Li Yun, but the choked for a long time finally turned into two words, "Master." ”
Li Yun's eyes became cold for some reason, and he suddenly asked, "You just said that Yulu has become a thank you gift?" ”
Cui Hao's tears were blurred, but his face was full of happiness, and he replied in a murmur: "That's all in the past, I don't want to reminisce, people must know how to be grateful, after all, it was the clan who elected me." ”
He wanted to let go, but Li Yun refused to let go, and at this time, Fang Xuanling next to him whispered a hint to Li Yun, and said with a mention: "The family has a long heritage, and the children of the family are too large, and the financial resources are sometimes poor, so once the children of the family are elected as officials, they must take out ninety percent of their income and return to the clan, so that they can continue to pass on and ensure that the children of the family can study from generation to generation. ”
"Really?"
Li Yun said lightly, as if he understood Fang Xuanling's explanation, but the coldness on his face did not change at all, but he suddenly said something with deep meaning, and asked ambiguously: "Can I, the ninth apprentice, be regarded as a child of the family?" ”
