"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan asks to see you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Lu An walked into Hongguang Pavilion to report.

Shi Hu was dressing under the service of the attendants, and asked unhurriedly, "What is he doing here?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan said that he came to greet His Majesty."

"It's rare that he has the heart, tell him, and say that I know, let him go back."

"Yes......" Lu An nodded, turned around and walked out.

"Wait!" Shi Hu had already dressed and walked out, and said to Lu An, "Call him in." ”

"Yes......" Lu An walked out of Hongguang Pavilion and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Xuanyan has come to see you~"

Shi Shi was well-dressed, walked in with a smile on his face, and saluted Shi Hu: "The son and the emperor see their father." ”

Shi Hu was sitting there drinking water, and when he saw Shi Shixing, he said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Father."

Shi Hu put down the cup and asked, "Why did you enter the palace early in the morning today?" Is there something you want to talk to me about? ”

"My father is wise, my sons are here to ask for peace today, and the second is in February after the new year, which is my father's birthday, and I am here to ask for a decree to let my sons prepare a birthday banquet for my father."

"Oh? You are quite filial, tell me, what are you going to do with this birthday banquet? Shi Hu was obviously very interested in this birthday banquet.

"Back to my father, recently there were two cooks in the son's house, the craftsmanship is excellent, the dishes are the best in the world, the son knows that his father has long been tired of the taste in the palace, so he intends to give these two to his father, if the father likes the craftsmanship of the two of them, the son will dare to ask for a birthday banquet for his father, in order to wish his father a blessing."

"Hahaha, it seems that I don't usually hurt you in vain, you call those two people into the palace another day, I want to see how they are doing."

"The retainers obey."

"It's the New Year in a few days, just when you come over, I don't have to send someone to do it again, you wait for a while to leave the palace, go to Zhang Bao's place, and see how he is preparing for the festival and banquet at the end of the year? I haven't seen him report to me for the past few days. This festival is a matter of national fortune and should not be sloppy. ”

"Erchen met Master Zhang yesterday, and he also talked to Erchen about this."

"Oh? What did he say? ”

"Master Zhang has served in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he has handled most of the ceremonial matters over the years, but this year he has encountered a problem, and he is in trouble these days."

"What's the problem?"

"According to the customs of our Qiang people, at the end of the year, women are not allowed to climb the altar, and all men above the age of adults in the family must go to the stage to worship the emperor with their father."

"That's right, isn't that every year? Is this year any different? ”

"The difficulty is in Xihuahou, according to the tradition of our Xian people, the adopted son is also a son, and he must take the stage to worship his ancestors together, but this Xihuahou was confined in Xihuahou's mansion by his father, and Lord Zhang didn't know how to decide."

When Shi Hu heard Xihuahou, his face suddenly became a little bad, and he said, "Why didn't Zhang Bao come to tell me himself?" ”

Shi Shi saw that Shi Hu's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang knows that his father is still angry about the matter of the fifth brother these days, so he didn't dare to ask his father, so he told his son, and it happened that his father asked about it, and his son mentioned this matter to his father." ”

"Zhan'er, this unassuming thing, spoiled him like this in vain, and he is still confronting me face to face with me because of the affairs of the Han people." Shi Hu said angrily.

Shi Shi hurriedly relieved: "The fifth brother is sometimes a little more anxious, and you don't know it, father, it's important to take care of the dragon's body, so don't be angry with him." ”

Shi Hu stood up, lifted his belt, and then said to Shi Shi: "Then you don't have to go to Zhang Bao today, go to Xihuahou Mansion first, and see how your fifth brother is reflecting, if he is conscious, you can tell Zhang Bao and let him put Shi Zhan's name on the list of the year-end festival." If he still doesn't know how to repent, then let him continue to reflect at home, I'd rather never raise him! ”

"Father means that if the fifth brother reflects well, he can not help but be satisfied?"

"How can I go to the festival when I am grounded?" Shi Hu glanced at Shi Shi angrily.

Shi Shi saw that Shi Hu was relieved, and hurriedly thanked him: "Father is wise, speaking of this, Erchen suddenly remembered something to report to his father." ”

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, Erchen heard about the fifth brother's confrontation with his father, and he was punished by his father, so he went to Xihuahou Mansion to visit him, after all, he was a brother, and Erchen didn't want to see him and his father have an unpleasant quarrel."

"How? What did he say? Isn't it still the stubborn donkey's temper? Shi Shi frowned and asked.

"That's not it, I know the temper of the fifth brother, so I deliberately didn't talk to him about it, just talked about some things when I was a child. He said that he was grateful for his father's nurturing grace, so for so many years, he was loyal to his father. He said, "It is the duty of a courtier to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king." Seeing that his attitude was sincere, the sons didn't seem to be deliberately fooling the sons, so they felt that he was indeed loyal to his father. Father, you also know that he is sometimes a little more upright in front of you. ”

Shi Hu heard Shi Shi say this, sneered twice, and said: "It's a shame that he still remembers how I doted on him, if I hadn't watched him grow up and be loyal to me, I would have cut him down that day!" ”

"It is precisely because his father has always been kind to him that he opened up territory for his father on the battlefield." Shi Shi hurriedly flattered.

"Okay, for the sake of his loyalty to me, you go and convey my will, from today onwards, the ban will be waived, but there will be no next time for this kind of thing, otherwise I will not spare it!"

"Erchen thanked his father for the fifth brother, so that Master Zhang doesn't have to worry about it, his father is really a wise lord."

"Don't shoot me here, let me ask you, did you see Xiao Min when you went to Xihuahou Mansion? This kid hasn't been here for more than ten days. ”

"When I returned to my father's words, my son's ministers heard that the fifth brother ordered him to go to the military camp and learn how to govern the army and fight a war behind the two generals Li Chang and Wang Shicheng."

"Well, the fifth child has done a good job in educating this son, the tiger father has no dogs, and you have to learn from him. The reason why we can gain a foothold in the Central Plains is that we can ride and shoot well, have no fear of life and death on the battlefield, and dare to compete with any opponent. Xiao Min, a child who is less than twenty, has skills beyond ordinary people, and Shi Zhan's teaching is indispensable. Look at your straw bale sons, one by one they can't be literate, they can't be martial, and none of them can handle it. ”

Shi Shi replied embarrassedly: "What my father taught is that his sons and ministers should discipline them well. ”

"By the way, you go and tell Zhang Bao, at this year's year-end festival, let Xiao Min go to the sacrifice instead of his Lao Tzu, and he is qualified to go to the altar."

Why is that? Fifth brother don't go? Shi Shi asked suspiciously.

"Are you a pig's brain? He was beaten by me for a hundred boards, and now he is still lying on his stomach in bed, how to get there? Lao Tzu can't go, wouldn't it be good to let his son replace him? Shi Hu said spittle.

Shi Shi suddenly opened his mouth, and hurriedly replied: "It's still the father who is wise, and the son almost forgot about it, thanks to the father's reminder." ”

"Alright, alright, go and convey my will." Shi Hu waved at him.
