Chapter 408: The Problem of Eggs and Baskets
The king of horses rushed to attack with lightning speed, and before everyone could react, they watched in horror as the king of horses suddenly attacked in front of Li Yu, took away half of the apple in his hand, and swallowed it into his stomach as soon as he chewed it, and his long horse face revealed a sense of unfinished color. Looking back, King Ma, who was still arrogant just now, looked at Li Yu pitifully.
Everyone was petrified in an instant, and they really couldn't figure out which one the King of Horses, who had never looked at people with a straight face before, was making trouble now?
Mei'er was even more frightened by the sudden arrival of the horse king and involuntarily retreated, and fell into Xing'er's arms unintentionally.
Xin'er gritted her teeth and looked nervous, and her hands tightly grasped the arm of Li Yu, who was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Feeling that his arm was being held a little tightly by Xin'er, Li Yu reacted, and looked at the horse king who was either contemptuous or squinted at him just now, who not only looked at him with a long straight face, but also lowered his arrogant head and came to him as if flattering, and gave Li Yu a light gift with his head.
Thinking of the scene that happened in a blink of an eye just now, Li Yu suddenly understood the root of King Ma's attitude of turning 180 degrees.
It turns out that this product is a foodie, and it seems that he has a unique love for apples.
Li Yu lightly clasped the big mouth of the King of Horses with both hands and asked tentatively, "Do you still want to eat the red apple in my hand just now?" ”
King Ma seemed to understand, and nodded hurriedly.
Li Yu laughed, this king does not have Xiang Yu's innate divine power, but he happens to have the good fortune of Alexander the Great.
"If you're my mount from now on, I'll be able to make you eat as delicious red apples as you just ...... every day."
Li Yu is ignoring the pain of mixing up at the moment, like a ill-intentioned uncle who induces an ignorant child step by step, and bewitches the greedy horse king step by step.
When Ma Wang heard that he could eat it every day, he immediately nodded, but in an instant, he showed a suspicious gaze, as if he didn't believe in Li Yu's character.
Li Yu suddenly became angry: "Come on, go and carry two large boxes of apples for this king." ”
Although apples are produced in the Western Regions and south-central Europe, they were introduced to Middle-earth as early as before the Han Dynasty. For hundreds of years, although apple trees have not been planted everywhere in the north, it is not difficult to get a rich family like Li Yu. What's more, apples are also stored, which is a rare fruit in winter.
"......"
An hour later, the king of horses ate one of the two large boxes of red apples.
For a better and happier life in the future, the arrogant King Ma finally lowered his head that represented the dignity of the king, succumbed to Li Yu's obscenity, and was willing to follow his trend.
Li Yu touched the thick mane of the king of horses, and while sighing for his good luck, he said to the king of horses word by word: "In the future, you will be called Lingxuan, a divine horse with spiritual mysteries and mysteries." ”
Soon, the people of Chang'an City saw King Yan riding a handsome, tall and strong jujube red horse galloping through the market.
……
Just when Li Yu was happy to get the Lingxuan Divine Horse and rode out of the mansion every day to hunt at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Li Zhi, who had been thinking about the gains and losses for a long time, finally made up his mind.
Just when there were three days before the prince's wedding, Li Yu led Xuan Ling and was just about to leave the palace to go around Lishan, and Zhang Chao came with a sage to announce his entry into the palace to meet him.
Li Yu didn't think about it, changed out of his uniform and followed Zhang Chao into the palace. When he entered the Hanliang Palace, he saw his father sitting on the top, and watched him step into the hall with a pleasant face.
"Yu'er, a few days ago, at a family banquet in the palace, my father asked you what reward you wanted for you to put down the Silla rebellion. Is it true that you proposed that the imperial court allowed Anton to have the right to mint coins and ordered the local government to take in the idle and unemployed prodigals, homeless, runaways, and official slaves in the society, and that the victims of the disaster in various places were handed over to the Anton Pioneer Group under your command to move to various new overseas territories? ”
Li Zhi asked.
"Back to my father, it is these two things that Emperor Nuo's father can allow, close to the Tang Dynasty, far away from China, it must be a great achievement, and the benefits are in the ......future."
Hearing that his father took the initiative to mention it, Li Yu felt that there was a play, and hurriedly explained the benefits brought by Nuo's approval of these two things.
"Hahaha, what Yu'er said is very reasonable, and my father can't refute it."
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Therefore, my father has been very careful about your proposal for a few days, and I feel that your invitation is based on the truth of Anton, which is quite beneficial to the country and the people." Anton is far away from Middle-earth, and transports money from Middle-earth, which costs a lot along the way, which is not good for the country. The Han Dynasty still allowed the northern frontier to mint coins on its own to make a military sound, and it was not as good as the former Han Dynasty. Immigrants to the real border, starting from Qin Shi Huang, continued to the two Han Dynasty, for the stability of the frontier, for the father from the history books and in recent years, the northwest and southwest successive changes are also deeply understood. ”
"What does the Father mean?"
Li Yu asked tentatively.
"Of course, it is to approve your request, and the corresponding edict will be drawn up by Zhongshu Province tomorrow, and after Hong'er gets married, it will be issued by Shangshu Province to all places."
Happiness came too suddenly, and Li Yu couldn't control his excitement and a smirk in his heart.
After getting what he dreamed of, Li Yu was in a good mood and left the rest behind. He stayed in the palace for two hours, and kept introducing to his father the strange things, rare birds and beasts discovered by the expedition overseas.
……
After seeing Yu'er say goodbye and leave, Li Zhi seemed to have solved a heart disease that had been suppressed for a long time, and the whole person became suddenly enlightened.
Zhang Chao accompanied Li Zhi throughout the whole process, and knew very well what the father and son had just talked about, although there was no expression on his face, but a big stone fell in his heart. Xinxi: "Risking death, the saint finally listened to it." ”
Li Zhi glanced at Zhang Chao and sighed: "Although what you said that day did not make much sense, it made me understand that since the future is unpredictable, I should be prepared first. You might as well take precautions. The village woman still knows that eggs cannot be put in one basket to ensure that all the eggs will not be destroyed in the event of an accident. May the two baskets of eggs I have prepared really play their due role when I need them in a hundred years' time. ”
"The crown prince, King Pei, and King Yan are all superior in terms of talent and learning, and they will live up to the expectations of the saint for the three highnesses."
Zhang Chao said with relief.
……
Li Yu walked out of the Hanliang Hall and accidentally collided with a palace maid.
When the maid looked up and saw that it was King Yan, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with weak legs and begged for mercy: "The slave and maid have eyes and no beads and collided with His Royal Highness, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”
The innocent was knocked down, and Li Yu's dislike hung on his face, but when he saw that the palace girl who bumped into him was gentle and cute, and her pretty face showed a panicked and frightened look, I felt pity.
That is, it was a beauty, Li Yu's dislike suddenly disappeared, but instead took the maid's smooth little hand and helped her up, so that he comforted the little palace woman with red ears and let go.
After returning to the mansion, Li Yu locked himself in the study, took out a small folded piece of paper from his clothes, and opened it to look at it and broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Zhi and Zhang Chao would not have thought that in addition to the two of them in the Hanliang Hall that day, there was also a little palace maid in the Hanliang Palace, and they heard their conversation word for word.
