Section 89 Royal Cultivation
Although the king was already circling around the palace, he needed to prepare for the emperor.
When it was almost dark, the Ministry of Internal Affairs informed him of his place of residence and told him to prepare, prepare, and go to the palace in the morning of the next day.
He did not stay in the building prepared for him by the imperial court.
The court returned the mansion of Dia Bird's family in Changyue to Di Bao to live in, although Di Bao's age was still young, Dongxia did not say anything to the prince, but Di Bao had just lived, and the king wanted to see what else he needed to prepare, and he also brought a gift to Di Bao, not to mention that he himself and Dia Bird were close to growing up together, and he was willing to accompany his children and nephews in other towns, so he lived.
In addition to the housekeeper and adoptive mother sent by Dongxia for Di Bao before, Huang Wencong has hired several Xixi on behalf of him, and put several grandsons and granddaughters here to play with Di Bao.
In fact, they can't play with Dick.
When the Dia Bird family died, Huang Jiaojiao returned to live in his mother's house, although Huang Wencong and his wife were baby Di Bao, but others despised them, and then Dia Niao was exiled to Diao Yin and rumored that he wanted to come back, Di Bao already remembered, at that time he was still at his grandfather's house, and his cousins and cousins did not get along well, and he was always bullied, that is, he heard that his Abba was coming back soon, and he was a fierce master who killed people with his own hands, so the cousins did not dare to bully him and coax him to play together.
This time, he came to Changyue as a hostage, and the situation changed again, and everyone revolved around him.
In Dongxia, he was convicted of murder, he was almost punished by Abba, everyone dared to kill, and he thought in his heart that he was a young Battle, the prince of Dongxia, with a noble status, standing in front of his cousins and cousins, he didn't have the heart to look at it, especially when he thought of it when he was a child, these brothers and sisters in front of him had completely different faces, and they didn't give any face.
It's only been a few days.
Either the merchants of Eastern Xia came to visit him, to honor him, or to buy belongings for him.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ben brought a group of people to see him.
Although Wang Ben was only an envoy, he carried the same tall horses as the people he carried, and he held troops and armor.
The cousins were shaken once.
Then, just today, the emperor sent someone to announce that he Di Bao, who was not yet eleven years old, suddenly became from the sixth grade, and according to the system of honorable officers, he could receive a certain amount of silver per month.
The point is that his Di Bao watch is still very bland, which makes his cousin crazy and adored.
Wang Ben knew that Di Bao was also a newcomer, and he didn't know if he could adapt to it, so he wanted to take him to taste the Central Plains cuisine, and as soon as he came back in the afternoon, he pushed off the merchants and took them out to the restaurant.
The cousins volunteered to explain to him which food is authentic and which food is special.
Everyone finally finalized a family, seeing that the place was enthusiastic, Di Bao did not go, and asked Wang Ben: "Is there a restaurant opened by our Dongxia people in this capital?" ”
Wang Benhao thought to himself, after all, his cousins all lived in the Central Plains and didn't know the customs of Dongxia, so Di Bao must want to take them to taste the special food of Dongxia. He is an envoy, as long as he settles down, the resources at hand will come, remember that there is a restaurant with Dongxia characteristics next to the hall built in the capital, without saying a word, let people set off first to reserve a seat in the room, and then prepared three carriages and took them over.
The man arrived.
The side rooms were there, and they were cleaned out, and the large table was soon covered with decorated meals.
This is all beautified Dongxia food, the soup is thick and the meat is tender, the petals, the fresh fruit is used as a foil, the meat is brushed with spices, pepper and salt, the outside is burnt yellow, the color and fragrance are complete, but Di Bao was cold again, and asked him: "Uncle Ji Shen." Is this our restaurant in Dongxia? He sat there and said sternly: "I heard my father say that we Dongxia people can only become strong by enduring hardships and standing hard work, being simple and simple. If they are like them who only want to eat and look good, how can they come to the future of Dongxia? ”
Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Didn't you want them to taste our Dongxia food, so we came?" And he said, "Ahbaite." Only this time, if it was really boiled mutton in white water and dipped in some green salt, they were afraid that they would not be able to eat it at all, so wouldn't it be to invite them to vomit? ”
Di Bao stood up and walked out, and said coldly: "We eat ours, what does it have to do with us whether they are used to eating or not?" ”
The king is an adult, how can he follow him?
Wang Ben hurriedly said to the older boys among his cousins, "I'll go out and say hello, and you can eat here." Then he left the people around him to accompany Di Bao's cousins, and he hurried out, and when he got outside, he looked on the stairs and saw that Di Bao was sitting on the ugly seat downstairs.
These feasts were prepared for ordinary caravanserais, and they were also specially set up for the people of the capital who wanted to taste the food of Eastern Xia.
Seeing Di Bao talking to his buddy below, Wang Ben pressed his head and said to himself helplessly: "It is said that the boss of the Wang family has a bad temperament, and it is true." ”
He snapped his fingers, summoned the guys in the restaurant, arranged the banquet inside, and walked down himself, but he found that Di Bao's voice was loud.
There were a lot of customers on this day.
Probably the news that the king of the Eastern Xia, Dia Bird, surrounded the 300,000 horses of the Chen Dynasty caused a lot of public opinion in the capital, and people's focus was on the Eastern Xia, which led to the Dongxia flavor food.
I didn't dare to guarantee that the remnants of Dongxia would not appear in the Central Plains, and Wang Ben looked at Shang Dibao all the way.
There was a lot of noise, and he approached to find out what Dibao had done.
Di Bao lifted the food that had just been served to him, and asked the guy with a black face, as well as the second shopkeeper who came to see what was going on: "You don't have boiled it in vain, no, what Dongxia signboard do you play?" Take it off for me now. Go. ”
Wang Ben had a headache.
When he settled in Changyue, the owner of this restaurant also visited him and asked the family to take off the signboard, not that he couldn't take it off, but in this way, it was unreasonable.
The guy thinks it's nonsense, and he was hired locally in Changyue, as the saying goes, it's hard to say whether it's a ruffian or not, but his heart is superior, so he thinks that a young boy from out of town is looking for trouble.
Although Di Bao is only eleven years old, the family lineage makes him look like he is fourteen or fifteen years old, such a young man, he can't say that he doesn't understand anything at all, so many diners, how can he do business like this? The man was in a hurry, and he wanted to drag him when he went up, but as soon as he stretched out his arm, Dibao flashed the short knife.
Wang Ben took three steps and did two steps, and knocked a diner into a stumbling one.
He rushed to the front, pushed the guy away, turned his face to Di Bao and said, "Bao." I'll tell you what's going on when I get back, don't make trouble. ”
The second shopkeeper came forward and said: "You are his parent, you can't let your own children make such trouble, do you know?" ”
Wang Ben persuaded Di Bao, which did not mean that he would be polite to him.
He turned his face and said gloomily, "Shut up." Get out of the way. Let your host come to see me, and say that Wang Jishen is eating here, and let him crawl over. The second shopkeeper wanted to say something, but Wang Ben stretched out his arm and pointed him in the direction. The second shopkeeper was still talking, a businessman from Dongxia recognized Wang Ben, came over to give Wang Ben a salute, and after a little visit, he pulled the two shopkeepers away, and went to the side to talk in the ears of the two shopkeepers, and from time to time he looked at Wang Ben. The second shopkeeper nodded in succession, trotting all the way, presumably really going to find their owner.
Wang Ben is actually not looking for their owner, but is afraid that they don't know themselves, and make something excessive, according to Di Bao's temper, according to his identity as an envoy and Di Bao's identity, he has to punish others, and at this time he saw that the restaurant had stopped, and quickly turned his head to look at Di Bao, and found that Di Bao sat back, tilting his head in anger, and hurriedly sat next to him.
He whispered to Dibao, "Bao." This is our Dongxia people's restaurant, even if we are unhappy in our hearts, how can we bully our own people in Dongxia? Taking you as a hostage, your Abba is already very sad. Are you mad at your Abba? Are you angry with Abba? I grew up with your father since childhood, and it is not a lie to say that I know him, and you were driven to Changyue, and he was the saddest one. Don't cause any more trouble in the Central Plains, live in peace for two years, find a reason, and we'll ask you to go back. ”
But Dibao said, "Abba's is for my good, I know that." But before I came to Changyue, he arranged for me not to be fascinated by the flowery world of Changyue, and to maintain the true character of our Dongxia people, I just want to eat the same food as at home. ”
Wang Benhaha laughed and said, "If you say that, I will be relieved." It's not that there isn't. He leaned over, lowered his voice and said, "This restaurant is indeed opened by our Dongxia people." We Dongxia people know how to be flexible best, and this is a dish that is improved in order to make money from the Central Plains. It is specially for the Central Plains people to eat fresh. If you want to eat authentic, wait, wait for their host to come, let him have an authentic meal, and Uncle will accompany you to eat here. ”
Di Bao was a young man after all, nodded, and advised: "Next time I come out to eat, don't take them with me." I hate them. ”
Wang Ben sighed.
He didn't sigh because of Dibao's behavior, but thought of Da Da Erhu.
He is also familiar with the Ta Da Er Tiger, although Di Bao is reckless, but his age is here, which does not represent his mind, but compared to the Ta Da Er Tiger, Di Bao is really like a child.
Click-and-Click?
was taught by Dia Bird to be demonic, Wang Ben remembered to send Gao Xian, went to see in private, met, Da Da Erhu pretended not to know, and met by chance, not to say that this uncle looks kind, but if you eat together, forget it, if you eat together, will you kidnap yourself? I really went to eat together, and I was still in the play, saying that my family was poor and I hadn't eaten anything delicious, so I could take some of it. When he arrived at the door with the food, he saw a ragged slave, and he divided the food of the family, and told him that a kind uncle had given it to him, and he had not finished eating it himself......
An eight or nine-year-old child, seamless, innocent and romantic, acting with him.
At that time, Da Da Erhu may have suspected that someone was watching him around him, maybe just to hide his identity as the prince of Dongxia from being known, but his behavior always made people feel that although he was cute and cute, he did not have the willfulness that a child should have, and ordinary children were the age of bastards, so how could they know "suspicion" and "disguise"?
When he came to the owner's house and asked for food, Wang Ben accompanied Di Bao to eat an authentic Dongxia meal.
When I went back in the evening, Huang Wencong and others were in the mansion, making a special appointment to meet Wang Ben and listen to the news.
He was one of Dia Bird's fathers-in-law, and Wang Ben couldn't refuse, and talked to him about the middle of the night.
He didn't sleep for long, and someone reminded him that the time had come, and at this hour, the Central Plains officials were going to rush to the morning court.
As soon as he wanted to accept His Majesty's sight, he got up, didn't want to run back and forth, couldn't sleep well, and even sneezed continuously, took people, and went straight to the palace before stopping.
Although many military generals, loose officials, and honorable officers all went out with the army, and there was a lot of lack of civil and military columns, the early dynasty was still grand, and Wang Ben took a nap in the ear room before he was notified to go to the palace.
When he came to the palace, the emperor waited for him to bow three times and bow nine times, and then he was shocked by one sentence: "Last night, your prince ate authentic Dongxia food, right?" ”
Wang Ben looked up, on the Danqi that was more than ten zhang long, and then a few feet on the dragon chair, although the lights were bright, the emperor was dressed in bright yellow, wearing a crown on his head, and his expression and appearance were all unclear, just like a god with a golden light and a small dragon coiled on his body, he naturally would not hide it, and said honestly: "I can't imagine that Your Majesty knows about this." ”
He didn't know why the emperor knew about it, so he tried to say, "The emperor won't spy on our Baote, right?" ”
The emperor gestured his arm and said with a smile: "I also care about him. Dia Bird can raise a son, and he knows that maintaining the true character of the Dongxia people is rare, extremely rare, and I am amazed. It's a good boy. I will cultivate him well, and when I go back, I plan to bring the emperor's grandsons to the palace to study, so I might as well let him come with me. The civil and military talents hired by the royal family are all immortal, and they can be taught according to their aptitude, so as not to blame Di Bird for letting his son go from being smart to mediocre in the future. ”
Wang Ben felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
He hurriedly thanked himself for the king and Di Bao.
The emperor began to ask him to explain the war.
Wang Ben has not stayed in the base camp all this time, and has been busy creating conditions for Bo Dalu to attack Gaonu, and the war will be introduced according to the standard of relying on the emperor Shengming, interspersed from time to time with the fact that the Eastern Xia Kingdom has done its best, the tragic situation of the domestic army, and the will and determination of Dia Bird to besiege the enemy without wavering at all.
The ministers were moved.
However, the emperor began to worry about one thing, Dia Bird was desperate for military force, and the army's morale was stable or unstable, and its combat effectiveness would not be affected.
He didn't ask anything else, only asked one thing: "How many troops did your king put in Lingwu, and can you stop the Chen State's army from returning to the division?" ”
Can it be stopped?
Wang Ben didn't know.
He was also worried.
The army that Lingwu will face is not only Tuoba Heiyun's army, now that the momentum of Dongxia has been created, Tuoba Weiwei will also know that in order to avoid the destruction of the 300,000 army, he will also desperately attack Lingwu from the west, even if he is asked to give up part of the middle line, he will not hesitate, he will definitely give priority, focus, and attack Lingwu, and when the time comes, the army stationed in Lingwu can hold it?
