Volume 1 Useless is a Scholar Chapter 54 The country is full of red faces

Cao'er watched the pedestrians with porridge bowls walking by from time to time outside the car window, her little nose wrinkled, although she had eaten a lot of delicious food in the painting boat, but she couldn't forget the taste of Laba porridge. That bowl of porridge must be liked by my mother.

Li Wuxian looked at the pedestrians on the road, they knew so much that the bowl of porridge in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve could make them smile.

The "Great River League" promised to give porridge until the Lantern Festival, and only one-tenth of the people in the capital starved to death this year.

The wise emperor eradicated the traitorous ministers, Zhaoxue for the loyal ministers, and also rewarded Li Gongzi of Changle Mountain for the sake of the common people.

Next year will be a good year.

As long as there is hope, the difficulties of life must always be faced with a smile!

Liang Da was carrying half a roast chicken in his arms, as well as a bag of cooked meat, all of which the young master ordered him to bring back. Liang Da has been a slave in the Luguo Mansion for a while, but fortunately, the son is generous, and he can bring some steamed buns or something back after the porridge every day. Qiu Niang's illness is almost better, and she can get out of bed by holding on to the wall.

It's good to be alive.

The carriage beside him passed by, Liang Da raised his head, and a small face carved in pink and jade in the window looked at him and smiled slightly.

How could Liang Da forget those big eyes? He stared blankly at the distant carriage, not knowing for a moment whether he was living in a dream. Maybe when you wake up from a dream, you are still standing by the railing of Xiaoguan Bridge?

Li Wuwu has been to this Dayue Palace many times, but it is the first time he has officially come.

Eight hundred years of picturesque rivers and mountains make this palace magnificent. Each column and column are condensed with ingenuity.

Along the way, the more I looked, the more I felt that the smiling faces outside the palace and the scenery in this palace were so cherished.

Li Wuwu turned his head to look at the grass beside him curiously looking around, and the string of the Heavenly Dao between his fingers continued to tighten, as if it was about to tie him tightly.

The hall is as warm as spring and as bright as day.

The warm current on her face made Cao'er's face red. Li Wuwu led the grass and strode into the hall. No one knows about Fauber's peers.

Most of the palace are high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, as well as envoys from various countries. Although the relations between several countries are not harmonious, this superficial article still needs to be done.

Today's Li Wuwu has no disguise, the crane is cloudy, and the white jade is crowned. The "Heavenly Prince" in Changle Mountain.

Some nodded, others bowed. Li Wuwu's arrival made the scene lively, but no one would rush forward at this time, it was unwise.

The waiting eunuch led Li Wuwu to the front of the throne - the first place on the lower left of the throne.

That was Zhao Pu's position back then.

Everyone looked at Li Wuwu's position thoughtfully.

"Do you want candy?" a childish voice sounded.

A little boy who didn't look much older than Cao'er, pink, grabbed a few candies in his hand and handed them to Cao'er.

Cao'er looked at Li Wuwu.

Li Wuwu stroked Cao'er's forehead and said, "If you want to eat, take it." ”

Cao'er took the candy, held it in her hand, and said, "I'm Cao'er, what's your name?"

The little boy peeled off a piece of candy, stuffed it in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I'm Shijulang." ”

"Nineteen Lang, you're eating candy again. Behind Nineteen Lang, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl reached out and snatched away the candy in his other hand, and then said, "The mother concubine said, if you eat candy again, your teeth will grow small worms." ”

"Hmph, my sister is the worst. The little boy was a little angry.

The little girl ignored him, said to Li Wufufu, pulled the little boy's sleeve and said, "Let's go, our position is over there." Then he pulled the little boy away.

Cao'er looked up at Li Wuwu and handed him the candy she was holding in her hand.

Li Wuwu bent down, reached out and pulled the candy in her hand and said, "If the grass eats a few teeth, it won't grow small insects." ”

When Cao'er heard this, she quickly retracted her hand, and then stuffed them into her pocket one by one, while whispering: "Give one to my mother, one to my father, and one to my brother." There are two more grasses, my mother likes to eat sweet, give my mother one more, and I will eat one grass, and my teeth will not grow worms. ”

Li Wuwu reached out and took the candy in Cao'er's palm, peeled it off, put it in Cao'er's mouth, and then asked, "Is it sweet?"

Cao'er's eyes narrowed into a slit, and her small mouth nodded with a "whin".

Li Wuwu pulled the grass and sat down.

"The Emperor has arrivedβ€”" A long, sharp voice came.

The originally noisy voices in the main hall fell silent for a moment, and then they returned to their places.

"Ha-ha--today to celebrate the New Year, you don't have to salute. A hearty voice came. Emperor Dayue stepped forward and stopped the ministers in the palace who were about to salute.

Li Wuwu stood up and looked at the emperor who was walking quickly, although they had exchanged hands in the air, this was the first time they had really met.

"Li Wuwu!" The emperor helped Li Wuwu, who was about to bow down, and then said while looking: "Sure enough, he is handsome and has unparalleled demeanor." It is really worthy of being a disciple of the old prime minister and the generalissimo who jointly trained me, and I have a talent like you, which is really gratifying!"

The following immediately praised a "gratifying" voice.

Li Wuwu felt the strength of the emperor's palm, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty praises, you don't dare to be ashamed." ”

The Emperor burst into laughter again and said, "I know that you have good cooking skills, and today you must give me a review of the craftsmanship of this imperial dining room." ”

After speaking, he looked at the grass, bent down and said, "Little girl, what do you like to eat?"

Cao'er reached out and hugged Li Wuwu's sleeve, because there was sugar in her mouth, she couldn't say it, so she could only make a "woo" sound.

The emperor smiled and said to Li Wuwu: "Your sister, it seems that she likes to eat sugar as much as I have the nineteenth lang." ”

Then the emperor turned around and shouted below: "Nineteen Lang - Nineteen Lang -"

After a while, the little boy just now was led by his sister.

"Father!" cried the little boy.

The emperor picked up the little boy and weighed it, "Well, it's heavy again." ”

"Meet my father!" the boy's sister saluted the emperor.

"Yao'er is here too, well, my Yao'er is about to grow into a little fairy. The emperor took his daughter in one hand and his son in the other, and walked to the throne of the head.

"The emperor has an order, open the banquet-"

"Ministers, please drink this cup and wish me a great and peaceful country and people in the coming year!"

"I wish the country and the people peace of the country!"

Flowing dishes come up. In fact, in Li Wuwu's opinion, the taste is really average. The grass is eaten with relish.

After Guo Shangshu left the cabinet, he became the head of the hundred officials, and he stood up first, raised his glass and said to the emperor: "The ministers wish Your Majesty good health and a long life!"

"I wish Your Majesty good health and a long and prosperous life!"

The emperor drank the wine in the cup, and then said: "There are no kings and ministers today, you are free." ”

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer.

The emperor raised his glass to Li Wuwu, who stood up and raised his glass from afar, and then drank it all.

Several royal relatives and nobles came over alone, saluted the emperor, and also clinked glasses with Li Wuwu by the way.

The ministers of the DPRK and China are still a little alienated from Li Wuwu, but these idle nobles don't care much.

After three rounds of drinking, the eldest prince took a group of princes to stand in the palace and raised a glass to the emperor and said: "Sons and ministers wish my father a blessed and long life!"

The sister and brother who were originally sitting next to the emperor also stood up, and a eunuch brought an empty cup over to raise it.

The emperor's face flushed, and he stood up and said loudly: "Okay, I have all the emperors who are filial, and I will live a long life." ”

After speaking, he touched the wine glass with the sister and brother next to him, and then laughed and drank the wine dry in one gulp.

When the princes returned to their seats, the envoys of several countries attended the toast, and the banquet was nearing its end.

The envoys of several other countries returned to their seats after toasting, and the Korean envoys also raised their glasses and drank the wine dry. But he did not return to the throne, but said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Dayue, the day before yesterday, my Emperor of Dahan had a letter to Weichen. Let Wei Chen ask His Majesty for one thing. ”

"Oh-I don't know what?"

The envoy said solemnly: "When my Han Emperor heard that Princess Dayue Yuyao looked like a fairy, he was very pleased, and wanted to ask His Majesty to marry and accept her as a concubine." I, Da Han, would like to marry Da Yue from now on as a good friend of Qin and Jin. ”

The room was silent.

After a long time, the emperor suppressed his voice and said, "You say it again." ”

The Korean envoy glanced at the envoys of the other three countries, and then said loudly: "I, the Korean emperor, want to accept Princess Yuyao as a concubine!"

The voice echoed in the main hall, filling the hall with no sound.

Silent.

The Emperor looked at the Book of Rites. "Shen Shangshu, what do you think?"

The Ministry of Rites replied: "Heavenly family affairs, that is, state affairs. ”

"Ning Guogong, what do you say?"

"Heavenly family affairs should be decided by the Son of Heaven!"

The emperor's face was bitter. looked at the eldest prince and said, "You are Yao'er's eldest brother, what do you say?"

The eldest prince stood up and said: "Father Qiqi, in the heavenly family, you should have the responsibility of the heavenly family. ”

The emperor looked at his daughter beside him, trembling a little.

Princess Na Yuyao already knew what was going on at this time, she stood up and looked at her father, two lines of tears slipped from her eyes.

The emperor said in a trembling voice: "Yao'erβ€”"

The princess slowly knelt down and touched the ground with her forehead: "Daughter, I wish to go." ”

At this moment, the eyes of all the people in the temple were looking at the trembling little figure lying on the ground.

So strong, but helpless.

The corners of the Korean envoy's mouth curled.

"Bang-"

The royal case was broken into several pieces.

"Li Wuwu-" The emperor's eyes were red, and he stared at Li Wuwu.

"Aren't you the Heavenly Prince?"

"Aren't you able to cross the river on your own?"

"Don't you decide people's futures with one word, can one book save all people?"

"Aren't you merciful and treat orphan girls as if they were your own sisters?"

The emperor roared, pulled up his daughter who was kneeling on the ground, and walked in front of Li Wuwu in two steps.

"What kind of family affairs and state affairs, you see, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, ordinary people can be reunited as a family, someone wants to force my father and daughter to separate!"

"Look at my daughter, she is only fifteen years old after the New Year, and she is in the prime of her life, but now she is kneeling in front of me, and says that she is willing to go to a place thousands of miles away and be a concubine for an old man who is a few years older than her father!"

"Li Wuwu - you say, why do all the people in this hall have to watch my flesh and blood separate?"

"Li Wuwu--aren't you the smartest person in the world? Then I will hand over this problem to you! If you can't make a decision, you will go back to your Changle Mountain!"

The emperor turned around, holding Princess Yuyao, who was crying silently, in one hand, and Shishiro Shishiro in the other, and walked out of the hall step by step.

All the eyes that watched the emperor leave were staring at Li Wuwu at this moment.
