Huang Pugong is still a hero in his bones, he was already seven or eight points drunk, sitting opposite the emperor, and after drinking three glasses of wine, he no longer had any scruples. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Why should I stay?" Huang Pugong asked rhetorically, his face was still so red, but he didn't have the humility and inferiority of a slave, in exchange for a fearless ease, "The whole court is also the emperor who looks up to me, I stay, Your Majesty is embarrassed, and I am also embarrassed." Your Majesty is embarrassed, because Your Majesty wants to fight against the court because of me, and I am embarrassed because I am not good at doing this kind of thing. Throw me into the battlefield, I am sure to report back to Your Majesty, and throw me into the court, that is, people will be swordsmen and I will be fish and meat, and I don't even know how to die. ”

"I have long had a conflict with the imperial court, and I have little to do with General Huang."

Huang Pugong shook his head, "Then I don't want to participate, Your Majesty is kind to me, I can't just watch from the sidelines, but I really can't help." Huang Pugong shook his head vigorously again, "Send me to the sea, Your Majesty, I am about to get married, even if she is a family and a family, she will stay in Dachu." ”

"Inviting the moon?" Han Ruzi asked.

Huang Pugong nodded, "She is a good girl, and she was wronged by marrying me, so please give your majesty more rewards, if she makes mistakes in the future - as long as it is not a big mistake of rebellion, please forgive your majesty." ”

Han Ruzi laughed and drank a glass of wine, "I really don't want General Huang to leave, the gods and ghosts are not coming, the world is peaceful, if he comes, Da Chu will not be afraid of him." General Huang didn't need to do anything to stay, it was nothing more than to lead the army to fight and ensure that this army would not participate in court disputes. ”

"Just be me a beast, your majesty will untie the noose around my neck, release me into the wild, let me regain my wildness, and let me stay by the side like a loyal dog, I really can't do it. I should have gone to sea, and I could only get excited at the thought of a storm tomorrow that would wreck the ship. To tell you the truth, after two days in His Majesty's camp, I even miss being a prisoner on the pirates' side. ”

Han Ruzi laughed again, "General Huang said this, what else can I say?" Come, drink this cup full, and the right is to see off the general. ”

The two of them raised their glasses at the same time, and were about to drink it, when Luan Kai on the side suddenly slapped his knees and stood up, startling several guards next to him, and they all reached out to hold their knives.

"I'm going to sea too!" Luan Kai grabbed the wine jug, "Go to sea with General Huang, he is a beast, and so am I, although I eat well and dress well with Your Majesty, it is too boring." ”

Han Ruzi squinted at Luan Kai, "General Huang will lead troops to fight, what else can you do besides being an assassin?" ”

Luan Kai thought blankly for a while, then turned his head and asked Huang Pugong, "What can I do?" ”

Huang Pugong nodded, "I really need such a person, when my minions, pirates, are disobedient, you can help me suppress it." ”

"Murder?"

"Hmm."

Luan Kai raised his neck and drank the remaining half pot of wine, and threw the pot to the ground, "That's it!" Your Majesty, I don't have a wife left......" glanced left and right, "Wang He is good to me, Your Majesty will give him a reward, if he makes a mistake, don't kill him, wait for me to come back." ”

Wang He's face was red, but he didn't dare to attack in front of the emperor, he could only look at Luan Kai angrily, and everyone else held back a smile, even a few guards.

Han Ruzi beckoned Luan Kai to sit down, drank the wine in the cup with Huang Pugong, and sighed: "It seems that I can't keep people." ”

"The Son of Heaven is determined to be in all directions, and wherever we go, it is the Great Chu River, no matter how far we go, we are all His Majesty's courtiers. I have learned a tune at sea, and I would like to sacrifice my ugliness for Your Majesty. ”

Huang Pugong was arrogant and said to a guard: "Please borrow a knife and use it as a musical instrument." ”

The guards looked at Wang He, Wang He looked at the emperor, and after receiving the signal, the guards gently drew their swords, held them in both hands and sent them over, Wang He and one of the guards stepped forward and approached the emperor.

Huang Pugong crossed his knee, picked up a chopstick with his left hand, and hit the blade of the knife, after a few sounds, there was a faint tune, and then he sang with his voice, neither tactful nor beautiful, not like a tune, more like standing on the bow of a boat and shouting at the endless ocean.

He used the dialect of the East China Sea, Han Ruzi and others didn't understand it very well, but only understood the general meaning, which was that a man went to sea to break through, remembering his parents and young wife at home, and the sea was windy and rough, but the man's ambition was greater, and he was bound to break into the hall and return to his hometown with a boat full of gold and silver.

Luan Kai listened for a while, and even picked up chopsticks, knocking on the wine glass from time to time, harmonizing with Huang Pugong's tune.

Huang Pugong glanced at him as a sign of encouragement.

In the second half of the year, the music changed, low and sad, the man was unfortunately killed at sea, and the people in the same boat brought the news of his death to his family, saying that he was "a man who rode the wind and waves, and left his soul in the sea".

After a song, everyone in the tent was sad and vibrating, and a hot breath surged up in his chest, Huang Pugong sighed, "I have been a pirate for ten years, a slave for ten years, one is extremely dangerous, the other is extremely stable, not to say which is good and which is bad, but I am more suitable for being at sea." Your Majesty's great kindness, Huang Pugong has nothing to repay, I just hope that in a few years, the maritime countries will not only know about Great Chu, but also know the prestige of my Great Chu Emperor. ”

Huang Pugong left the table, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and Luan Kai followed suit.

Han Ruzi helped the two of them up with his own hands, "Dejun and the other two are enough to prove that Da Chu is not old." ”

The three of them sat down to drink again, chatting about the world, Han Ruzi was also a little drunk, and ordered the guards to untie their waist knives and come to drink together, until the sky was bright and the night drink was over.

Han Ruzi returned to the tent and fell asleep, Zhang Youcai and the others didn't get up for a long time, and when they heard that what happened last night was both unexpected and worried, they blamed the guards all over again, and then changed the emperor's clothes to make the emperor sleep more comfortably.

Concubine Deng Yun had also gotten up, looking at the sleeping emperor, smiling, and seemed to appreciate this move.

"Concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty woke up and saw your appearance, and he didn't think that he did something wrong last night." Zhang Youcai said dissatisfiedly that only he dared to speak like this to Concubine Shu.

Deng Yun smiled: "What's wrong? The emperor is also a human being, and he is tense every day, who can stand it? Besides, Your Majesty is not a child, I don't know if it's right or wrong? Go out, and I will serve Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Youcai and the others had to withdraw, leaving two palace maids to help Concubine Shu.

The news of the emperor's drunkenness spread quickly, and everyone was taken aback, since the hunting tour, the emperor saw the accompanying officials every morning, and then met many advisers, never interrupted, occasional changes, and the emperor wanted to see an important person, such an indulgent behavior, but it was the first time in the world.

At three o'clock in the sun, Han Ruzi finally woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Concubine Shu sitting on her knees and smiling.

"When?" Han Ruzi was startled and sat up, only to feel dizzy.

"It's almost noon. Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to get up, beware of dangling. Concubine Shu held the emperor.

"Today's Early Pilgrimage ......"

"The minister can wait, if there is really a big or important matter, Zhang You will come to wake up Your Majesty."

Han Ruzi let out a sigh of relief, but he really didn't want to move, "Get me some water." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Deng Yun personally got out of bed to pour tea, and asked the palace maid to bring the decanting soup that had been prepared a long time ago.

After Han Ruzi drank it, he felt more comfortable, and said apologetically: "I didn't want to drink, I ......was careless for a while."

"Drink spontaneously, this kind of wine is the most interesting, every time you have fun, like in the clouds and fog, like being a fairy."

Han Ruzi smiled, Concubine Shu is good at wine, but she has rarely touched wine since she went on patrol.

"The gods are at ease, but the emperor is not at ease, so I'd better be the emperor." Han Ruzi got out of bed, put on his clothes and boots, and walked out of the tent to meet Zhang Youcai and the others.

The atmosphere of today's court meeting was a little delicate, and the officials were as respectful as usual, but there were often people who gave a quick glance at the emperor, as if everyone was learning from Nan Zhijin and trying to figure out the emperor's mind.

It was indeed no big deal, so Han Ruzi announced that Huang Pugong, the general of the Lou boat, would recruit the pirates and sail west by boat to announce the goodwill of Great Chu to the maritime countries.

The important officials were not there, and no one objected to the emperor's decision, so the officials of the military department received the decree and immediately went to draw up the holy decree.

In the afternoon of the same day, Huang Pugong got the holy decree and went to Luan Kai to take him to set off together, this trip is just to recruit pirates, as for when to set off is still to be determined, he and Yingyue's marriage also has many etiquettes to go, and the marriage cannot be completed in ten days and half a month.

Luan Kai was sleeping to death, and was dragged up by Huang Pugong, with a blank face, "What are you doing?" ”

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"At sea."

"Why go to sea?"

"Aren't you going to go to sea with me and be my minion?"

"Did I say that? When? ”

"When I drank with His Majesty last night."

"I can't remember, but—let's go." Luan Kai didn't bring anything, and set off alone with Huang Pugong.

Han Ruzi did not see him off, and he spent the whole afternoon in the tent in the study to check the recital, and did not see anyone.

The resignation of the minister of the capital came, not very many, there were three copies, each from different ministries and departments, and the positions were all in the third or fourth grade, neither high nor low, not even a pioneer, just a scout who came to inquire about the situation.

Han Ruzi pressed down and did not make a reply, and wrote down several holy decrees in his own hand, one to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War at the same time, asking the two ministries to find out the situation in the Western Regions and the whereabouts of the general Deng Cui as soon as possible, one to Zongzhengfu, asking Zong Zhengqing to supervise the children of the sect to hand over the private house slaves, and one to Chai Yue outside the Saiwai, ordering him to enter the customs immediately and come to Luoyang to see the driver, and another to the accompanying officials, saying that they would leave in three days and continue to patrol the hunting trip.

When the eunuchs brought out the holy decree, naturally some officials re-transcribed it, and then sent it back to the emperor, and after stamping the seal, it became an official decree and distributed to all parties.

Before nightfall, Han Ruzi only summoned Nan Zhijin and said to him: "Go back to the capital, whatever you want to say to the ministers, do as you like." ”

Nan Zhijin was slightly stunned, feeling that today's emperor has changed again, and it is becoming more and more uncertain, "Your Majesty ......"

"The minister may not believe you, you have to find a way to regain their trust, and as for what you want to say, I have a sentence for you, 'Men who ride the wind and waves, and leave their souls in the sea', which is said to be a pirate poem, and I use it. Do I care about Da Chu? To be honest, I don't know what Da Chu is or where it is, everyone talks about it, but no one can tell what it is. In any case, I want to accomplish some meritorious deeds, and for me, this meritorious deeds are the Great Chu, which is my 'sea'. (To be continued.) )
