Chapter 600: A Warm Welcome

May is a good month, just after the restlessness of spring, and about to enter the hot summer sun, all the plants and animals have become wilted. The leaves are wilted, the watchdogs are wilted, and even the half-grown sons who are alive and well have no spirit.

Su Ren yawned, he tossed with Dong Qian for most of the night last night, and he got up too early today, and the whole person was still in a drowsiness, but he couldn't afford it. The emperor specially issued an order for hundreds of officials to come to the gate of the city to greet the king of Hengshan and the king of Huainan. Since you have eaten royal food, you naturally have to be bound by the royal family. Standing in the middle of a large group of officials, Li Danghu and Wei Qing were in the background, and Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao were behind him. Five people in a pile naturally have endless words.

Gongsun He was very unhappy with the sun, and while shaking the folding fan that had just become popular in the Han Dynasty, he looked up at the sun: "Didn't you say that it will arrive at noon?" What did Your Majesty ask us to do so early? ”

Gongsun Ao smiled: "You just got married, and the beauty doesn't want to get up in bed, right?" ”

Gongsun He glanced at Gongsun Ao: "Exactly!" What other words do you have? Su Ren yawned again, was seen by Gongsun He, pointed at Su Ren with a fan, and said: "This is the manifestation of his excessive indulgence, it is said that he couldn't even get out of bed two days ago, and he was driven up by his father-in-law's ears, to say that among us, you and Wei Qing are not married, and the others are not as good as our Mr. Su, who do you say can marry two wives?" ”

Gongsun Ao nodded: "It's true!" Your Majesty also has only one queen, and I am afraid that only Brother Su is the second wife in this world. ”

Su Ren is really sleepy, since that day he teased Dong Qian with Leng Yue's pregnancy. Dong Qian, who is usually high-flying, doesn't know what she has eaten wrong these days, as long as she asks for it at night, Su Ren can't get out of bed.

Bai glanced at the two people behind him: "Hey! You two have only watched thieves eat meat, but you have not seen thieves beaten! ”

Gongsun Ao was taken aback: "Ah! They all say that your eldest lady is good at martial arts, why do you still want to beat you? ”

Gongsun He laughed, causing everyone around him to look sideways. Hurriedly covered his mouth with a fan and muttered in Gongsun Ao's ear. After muttering, the two laughed together. The nearby officials hurriedly moved two steps out, a little further away from the two neuropaths.

Li Danghu was old and steady, coughed, and glared at Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He: "Don't make noise in the team!" ”

Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao hurriedly shut up.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and it is getting more and more poisonous. The heavy robe was already covered with sweat on his body. Su Ren was even more drowsy from the sun, constantly twisting his body, staring left and right. Suddenly he found the tea shed by the city gate, and walked over. When Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao saw it, they hurriedly followed, and forced Li Danghu and Wei Qing out. Such a big movement was seen by everyone, but no one dared to follow suit. Everyone knows that these people are His Majesty's henchmen, and they have no opinion on what His Majesty does, if others do this, they will definitely die miserably.

Tian Wei, who was standing at the front, glanced at the five people, and then turned his head back as if he didn't see it. Because of the large number of officials lined up, the east gate was surrounded by soldiers, not to mention pedestrians on the road, not even a fly, the shopkeeper fell asleep on the counter.

Gongsun He kicked the shopkeeper's buttocks, and the frightened shopkeeper jumped three feet high: "Why don't you go get some herbal tea and snacks, this can heat people to death!" As soon as he entered, he reached out and took off his robe.

Although the shopkeeper doesn't know what these people do, they can shout here, and they are not ordinary people. patted his buttocks, and went to serve tea and snacks to a few people with a smile on his face.

Tea is not good tea, and dim sum is not a good dim sum. Gongsun He first washed the tea bowl with hot water three or four times, then poured a bowl, looked at the black rumbling tea soup in front of him, and splashed it on the ground: "This is also called tea, go get some water!" ”

After drinking some water, they finally felt more comfortable, and a few people sat under the tea shed, looking at the group of officials who were still standing in the scorching sun, and a sense of superiority arose. Gongsun He was about to say something cool, but was stopped by Li Danghu with his eyes.

Wei Qing shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the entry of the second king into Beijing, which shows the weight of these two people among the princes, you see, the third prince has two of them, and Jiuqing has all arrived." ”

Su Ren leaned on the table, and then stuck out his tongue to become a dog: "Normal!" The king of Huainan and the king of Hengshan are considered to be the uncles of His Majesty, it is good not to go out for thirty miles, I heard that Gaozu was in the same year, Jiujiang King Yingbu came to Beijing, and Gaozu personally went out of the city fifty miles to greet him. ”

"It's a pity!" Gongsun He suddenly sighed.

Gongsun Ao asked, "What is a pity?" ”

"It's a pity that Gaozu is not King Liu Bu, even if we work hard, don't think about being crowned king!"

Gongsun Ao said: "What's so good about being crowned a king?" How many kings have there been since Gaozu, and how many of them have died well? An An is divided into His Majesty's courtiers, loyal to His Majesty, and his life is absolutely indispensable for glory and wealth, which is much more comfortable than being a king. ”

Wei Qing and Li Danghu looked at Gongsun Ao at the same time. Gongsun Ao said: "What do you want me to do? Isn't that right? ”

Li Danghu shook his head: "That's right! ”

Su Ren said: "That's not necessarily, you haven't been a king, how do you know that the king is uncomfortable?" Look at the posture in front of you, hundreds of officials greet each other, the light on this face is enough for the ancestors to jump out of the grave, not to mention the fiefdoms of several counties, the power of life and death, one of the worst princes and kings of our Han Dynasty is probably more beautiful than the prime minister, right? ”

Several people were speechless by Su Ren's words. Li Danghu's eyes were on fire, Gongsun He's eyes kept rolling in his sockets, Wei Qing lowered his head and pondered, and Gongsun Ao was at a loss.

Su Ren looked at the faces of all living beings, and smiled: "So it's better not to say that this king is better!" Without the king, Your Majesty can rest assured, the world can rest assured, in order to twist into a rope to unite with the outside world, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period The vitality of the Zhou Dynasty was greatly damaged, and how many big men died in vain in a rebellion of the Seven Kings? Your Majesty has great wisdom, and if you want me to say that Your Majesty has long had thoughts about these princes and kings. ”

"So what are you doing all this?"

"Hehe, you don't understand this, the highest level of killing is called killing! Remember the story I told you? ”

A few people sat in the tea shop and chatted enthusiastically, and a group of officials standing under the sun watched pitifully. The sun rose overhead, the shadow turned into a black dot and was trampled under his feet, and at the end of the road finally flew a horse.

The Prime Minister's Mansion Changshi came to the side of the five people and saluted slightly: "Everyone, seeing that people are about to arrive, the Prime Minister invites you to return to your position!" ”

Su Ren farted with a few people for a while, and the sleepiness was finally completely driven away, and he smiled: "Okay!" Let's get over it! ”

The convoy of the two kings can really be described as a pennant waving gongs and drums, and it can not be seen from a distance for three or five miles, and it is particularly spectacular in order and neat. Everyone who had stood all morning breathed a sigh of relief, victory was in sight, and it was over after holding on for a while.

The car of the second king stopped steadily, and Tian Wei shook his fat body and came to the car. Without waiting for Tian Wei to salute, King Huainan had already gotten out of the car and hurriedly grabbed Tian Wei's arm: "Let the prime minister wait for a long time, forgive your sins!" ”

"The two kings have come from afar, and they have worked hard all the way!"

There was a kind sentence, but there was no repetition. For the hundred officials who greeted him, the two kings didn't look at it, and only talked and laughed with Tian Wei. When all the etiquette was over, Tian Wei was ready to personally accompany the king of Huainan and the king of Hengshan to the post house to rest.

Although the words are simple, the lengthy etiquette has been carried out for more than an hour, although it is not the protagonist, but it is still very uncomfortable to stand under the sun in the summer. The sweat that had just fallen rose again, and Su Ren kept wiping the sweat on his face. Seeing that it was about to end, he heard Tian Wei's sharp voice calling out his name.

Su Ren thought he had misheard, and stood there without moving. When Wei Qing stabbed him twice, he hurriedly responded and walked out of the back of the crowd.

"Mr. Su, let's meet again?" Liu An was full of smiles, but the light in his eyes betrayed him.

Su Ren smiled and saluted: "I have seen the King of Huainan and the King of Hengshan below." ”

Tian Wei said: "Su Zhonglang, the king wants to ask you to accompany him to the post house, you don't have to respond today, you are familiar with the king, just accompany the king to talk!" ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as Su Ren's word "Nuo" came out, Liu An's hand grabbed Su Ren's wrist: "Mr. Su, let's go, this king has a lot to say to you." ”

"It's a pleasure! I will definitely meet all the requirements of the king in the next! ”

Surrounded by everyone, the convoy of the two kings entered Chang'an City. The officials who needed to accompany them followed, and those who did not ask to accompany them naturally dispersed. Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Ao stood at the gate of the city in a daze.

"That's not right!" Gongsun He frowned: "Su Ren is not a ceremonial official, and His Majesty didn't let him receive him, and he actually entered the city in the same car with King Huainan, there must be something wrong here." ”

"Ahh So what to do? Do you want me to lead the soldiers to rescue Mr. Su? ”

Li Danghu shook his head: "King Huainan and King Hengshan have some friendship with Su Ren, they are here to meet him this time, they should not embarrass him, but if we send troops, we are afraid that it will be true." ”

"In that case, I will enter the palace to report to Your Majesty!" Wei Qing hurriedly said.

Li Danghu nodded: "It's okay!" ”

Gongsun He shouted: "It's not good, King Huainan must be for money!" ”

"What? Money? Gongsun Ao didn't go to Huiji with them, so naturally he didn't know anything: "Su Ren owes the King of Huainan money?" How much is owed? ”

Gongsun He sneered: "It's not much, if you count the interest and estimate 50,000 gold so far, this is only the king of Huainan, and the entire Huainan and Hengshan countries together have at least 100,000 gold, right?" ”

"What? 100,000 gold! Gongsun Ao felt that the world was spinning, let alone 100,000 gold, even if it was 100,000 yuan, he hadn't seen it much.

Wei Qing also frowned: "If this is the case, Brother Su is afraid that there will be more than one luck, no, I will enter the palace and implore His Majesty to rescue Brother Su!" ”

Seeing that Wei Qingfei got on his horse and disappeared quickly, several people stood on the spot at a loss.
