Chapter Seventy-Seven: And More
"Didn't you hear the questions of the two younger brothers?" The Initial Emperor asked the Great Prince in a cold voice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Father Rongyu, you once taught your sons not to sleep or eat." Huang Fuxuan said unhurriedly: "Erchen originally wanted to teach his two younger brothers a lesson, but he was afraid that it would affect his father's meal, so he ignored them. ”
"You just have a hard mouth!" Huang Fu Shi couldn't help muttering quietly when he heard Huang Fu Xuan beat him upside down. "I'll cry later......"
"Does the widow have to wait for you to finish eating before asking you?" The Initial Emperor asked coldly.
"Erchen has finished eating." Huang Fuxuan picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, straightened up and said, "Please show your father." ”
"......" The initial emperor was pushed by him whether he was soft or hard, and he couldn't help but be angry, and his face returned to his usual gloomy and said: "Okay, Your Highness is so straightforward, and it's not good for the widow to be the father and emperor, and he doesn't have a word to say." ”
"Your Majesty......" Empress Xiahou wanted to persuade her, but the first emperor ignored her at all, squinted his deep eyes, and looked at Huangfu Xuan fixedly: "You have no jokes, if you can't read the whole poem now, the widow can only serve with a cane." ”
"Lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot......" Huangfu leaned into Huangfushi's ear and muttered in a low voice. Huang Fu Shi smiled and nodded, which naturally attracted Huang Fu Zhen's fierce glare.
At this time, no one paid attention to the small movements of the three brothers, and all eyes were on Huangfu Xuan.
I saw that he met the gaze of the original emperor unhurriedly, and slowly recited: "The wind is curling on the side of the Luoshui Bridge, and I still remember the old Jiangdong by the railing. ”
The "......" hall was silent. The brothers didn't expect that Huang Fuxuan actually got the poem right.
"It doesn't matter, look at how round he is!" Huang Fushi said in a low voice. "The catkins are flying red, it depends on how he explains!"
"It's just that he can't be round." The emperor also nodded heavily.
Before the words fell, I heard Huangfu Xuan clear his throat, and read out the last two sentences aloud: "The sunset shines back on Cuiyun Peak, and the catkins fly in patches of red!" ”
"The wind is curling on the side of the Luoshui Bridge, and the old Jiangdong is still remembered by the railing. The sunset shines back on the green cloud peak, and the catkins fly in patches of red. The initial emperor didn't care about the rudeness of Huangfu Xuan, and retold the whole poem, and couldn't help nodding slightly.
Empress Xiahou was stunned there, Huangfu Zhen showed surprise on her face, Huangfu Shi and Huangfu were even more dumbfounded, they never expected that Huangfu Xuan would actually match the poem!
Why is catkins red? Dyed red by the rays of the setting sun!
Not only is it perfectly rounded, but the whole poem is also very atmospheric and neat, sad but not sad, which can be regarded as a masterpiece in this era.
Huangfu Zhen's face became a little ugly, how could he not hear that this poem was not from the ancients, but a work of the occasion. He is usually known for his literary brilliance, and he asked himself that he would never be able to make such a poem. This really responded to the words of the two younger brothers just now, and lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot......
It's just that it's not the boss who smashed it, but the foot of him, the initiator.
"Big brother, your poem is Luoshui Bridge and Cuiyun Peak," Huangfu was still unconvinced, shouting: "It must not have been written by the ancients." ”
"I definitely didn't make it up." Huangfu Xuan glanced at him and said lightly.
"That's it!" The initial emperor covered the coffin, took a deep look at Huangfu Xuan and said, "Even if you pass the test, continue to eat." ”
"Yes!" Huang Fu Xuan only felt that the block in his chest was gone, and finally his appetite was opened, and he wanted to signal the palace people to bring the pot of bird's nest roast duck over, but he suddenly remembered that he had just told his father that he was full. I had no choice but to give up.
What made him feel relieved was that the three younger brothers also obviously lost their appetite, and they stopped eating a few bites hastily.
The emperor and empress had already made a good breakfast, and the chamberlain respectfully invited the emperor's family to move to the windward pavilion for tea. After the emperor's family left, the palace people removed the two or three hundred breakfast dishes that were almost unchanged.
。
In the windward pavilion, flowers are blooming on all sides, you can see the murmuring water up close, and you can overlook the great rivers and mountains in the distance. When he was in the summer, the first emperor liked to spend time here, but not only for the beautiful scenery here, but also for a very important reason, where he could overlook Luojing City from time to time, which made him feel steady.
When the emperor's family sat down, there were palace people kneeling in the field, burning a stove of incense, playing a piano, and then elegantly boiling water and ordering tea.
Admiring the beautiful palace maid ordering tea with her hands, and smelling the faint fragrance in the Windward Pavilion, the original emperor's family only felt pure and leisurely, and there were no distracting thoughts.
The four brothers had a cup of tea with their father and queen mother, and it was almost time for the Initial Emperor to deal with government affairs, but they still didn't see that the Initial Emperor had the intention of letting them leave.
Everyone saw that the emperor seemed to be in a fugue, so they had to sit silently. After a while, the initial emperor retracted his gaze from afar, looked at several princes and said, "The widow is thinking about what he said before breakfast." ”
The four "......" brothers were full of blood when they arrived, and even the youngest emperor did not forget what the emperor had said before - let them help take care of the government!
"Over the years, the widow has been busy with national affairs, and he has rarely asked you questions, and I don't know how much you know about the national affairs of this great Xuan Dynasty now." The Initial Emperor said, his eyes slowly swept over the four princes, and he said in a deep voice: "That's it, the widow will test a few of your questions first, and then answer them first." ”
"Father, please speak." The princes hurriedly held their breath and listened.
"The first question is, do you know how many cases are adjudicated in a year across the country?" The first emperor asked: "The second question is, how much money and grain are in and out of the country in a year?" The third question is, how many officials are there in the Great Xuanshi Country? ”
"......" After the emperor finished speaking, there was silence in the Windward Pavilion, and several princes looked at each other, unable to answer a single question.
"Your Majesty," Empress Xiahou couldn't bear her son's embarrassment, and said softly: "Your question is too difficult, how can they answer it for a while." ”
"The widow does not need them to answer immediately." The first emperor said lightly: "I don't have to say hello tonight." It's still the old rule, give the widow an answer by this time tomorrow. ”
。
The four princes withdrew with the emperor's questions.
Leaving Zhaoyang Gate, Huangfu Xuan went straight to the sedan chair and left, and the three Huangfu brothers also went to the Beichen Hall where the two princes lived, discussing how to answer the emperor's question.
"These three questions are not something that can be imagined." Huangfu Shi said in a muffled voice.
"Yes, if you don't know, you don't know, it's useless for the three of us to ponder until dawn." The emperor thought deeply and said, "Let's hurry up and ask my grandfather for help." ”
"Hey......" The Emperor paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, he didn't understand why the Emperor was making such a difficult situation for them. Even if you don't want them to interfere in government affairs, there is no need for such a problem, right? Doesn't this make it clear that they can't answer and have to find someone to help?
But when he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reason, just a hazy feeling, and the problem didn't seem to be that simple.
Huang Fu Shi and Huang Fu waited for a while, but they didn't see Huang Fu Zhen speak, and the former said in a sullen voice: "Second brother, what is there to hesitate about?" If you can't answer tomorrow, I don't know when I will have to wait until my father can relax again. ”
"That's it, second brother," Huangfu Ranren Little Ghost Dao: "We can still ask my grandfather for help, who can Huangfu ask for help?" He won't be able to answer tomorrow, so let's do the same to pressure him! ”
"Well...... Huang Fu Zhen was finally convinced, nodded and said, "Then hurry up and let someone go to Luojing to spread the word." ”
"Okay!" Huang Fu Shi and Huang Fu were overjoyed, and the latter went out in a puff of smoke. The former laughed at the emperor and said, "Last time, I let the boss escape, this time I want to see him, how can he pass the test?!" ”
"This is a question that the eldest brother will definitely not be able to answer......" Huangfu sighed lightly.
