Chapter 178: The Emperor's Gift
Why can't the emperor smile?
It's not because of this heavenly wealth, but because it solves the urgent need, as long as it is used properly, then this will be a long stream of water! ……
On the day when Zhu Chengyi entered Beijing and collided with the eldest princess, the emperor deliberately missed the lack of horses and went out.
Sure enough, it wasn't even a few days before the gift list from the north arrived.
In addition to hinting at the lack of horses, the emperor's move was naturally also for temptation.
He always wants to see how much weight his son weighs in King Yan'an's heart. And the quality and speed of King Yan'an's return gift is the best answer. It is also the embodiment of King Yan'an's loyalty to the Great Zhou.
The emperor was satisfied.
Whether it is a sincere temptation or a faithful temptation.
As long as Zhu Chengyi is in Beijing, then King Yan'an will not only be fearless, but will also meet Da Zhou's needs to the greatest extent. That's the way to go the long way.
"King Yan'an's salute is heavy."
The emperor's eyes were even more spoiled. "War horses are very important to Yan Andi. The Tartar army has many cavalry, fast speed, strong impact, Yan'an has been fighting for many years, the consumption of war horses is huge, and the cavalry has suffered heavy losses...... It's really heavy. However, since the horses are already on the way, this time it will be enough, and you should tell your father that next time you still have to save more strength on the front line. ”
Zhu Chengyi kowtowed and thanked the emperor for his care and benevolence.
"My father is dedicated to working hard for the country, the country, the country, the prosperity of the country, and the peace of the people, as long as he can do his best for the court, the Great Zhou, and the emperor, Yan Andi from the father to the people, even if he tightens his belt, he is also willing to eat. The father told the emperor that the emperor is benevolent and generous, except for the war horses, all the people of Yan'an have contributed money and efforts, and they have taken the initiative to be loyal to the emperor, wishing the emperor a long life, and wishing the Great Zhou country peace and security! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present knelt together, shouting "Long live the emperor, and wish the Great Zhou Guotai and the people safe!" ”
Rong Anxin sighed and sighed.
Zhu Chengyi is also difficult!
Such self-defilement comes first, and at this time I have to beg to open my eyes and talk nonsense and pat my ass, but in the end?
Although the current emperor has a dirty heart, he at least has to be cheeky, if he meets Zhu Yonghao, who is insatiable...... is destined to be eaten to the bones. Yan Andi's burden is too big, the former wolf and the tiger, no matter how strong Zhu Chengyi is, no matter how strong King Yan'an is, there is indeed not much good way.
Obviously, Zhu Chengyi's sycophancy made the emperor very happy.
The emperor smiled more and more compassionate and kind, said a few beautiful words, shouted flat, and praised the king of Yan'an and all the people of Yan'an.
"The people of Yan'an are simple and sincere, I am very pleased, and I pass on my message, so that the Ministry of Rites can draw up a return gift list as soon as possible. The grain, oil, cloth, tea and other scarce materials in the north were doubled. Strive to be delivered before September 9. ”
Zhu Chengyi once again thanked the emperor on behalf of the people of Yan'andi.
"Just mentioned mare's milk wine. I remember the last time you brought a lot into Beijing. Since it has been mentioned, it is better to put it on the table, everyone can taste it, and also feel the hearts of the people of Yan'an. Come on, serve mare's milk wine. ”
Rong An had been secretly observing the eldest princess, and saw that the eldest princess, who was sitting beside the Queen Mother and helping Bu Cai, was slightly anxious and babbling something in the Queen Mother's ear...... And when the lord of Leping County saw Zhu Chengyi in the limelight, he couldn't hide his disgust......
The Emperor raised his glass and drained the mare's milk in the cup.
Everyone drank together.
Rong Hua raised his glass to his lips, and whispered disdainfully without touching it: "Savage and vulgar things, I don't know if they are clean or not." ”
"If you have any doubts, tell the emperor." Rong An raised his glass and drank it. "It tastes good!"
Rong An suddenly smiled at Rong Hua: "There is no strange smell, there is a milky fragrance, sister, really." You can drink it with confidence. ”
Her voice was a little higher, and all the ladies who sat close to her looked at her.
Ronghua's face turned red, and he couldn't wait for a glass of wine to be splashed on Rong'an's face. If you don't drink it, you don't drink it, why say it! In this way, she didn't want to drink it anymore, in order not to attract attention, she was afraid that Rong An would continue to talk nonsense, so she could only raise her glass and sip it.
"Sister, have you ever heard the sound of the wind rolling the rice field and the plucking of live ducks?"
"Nope." What kind of nonsense foul language? Bother.
"Then you must have heard the sound of loose strings being plucked, oh, no, it's not the qin, it's the erhu."
"Hmm." Ronghua only felt that Rong An was as annoying and unpopular as the mare's milk wine in his hand.
"The wind swept the rice field and left a tiny rustling sound, and the live ducks plucked their feathers were hoarse and noisy rattles, and the loose strings of the erhu were squeaky and rattling. The sum of these three is your voice at the moment, so I advise you not to speak. I'm annoyed to hear it! ”
Ronghua choked and glared.
Rong An smiled again and asked, "Doesn't it taste good?" ”
Ronghua gritted his teeth. Originally, she felt awkward everywhere today. Her voice was indeed hoarse, but was it really ugly? She suddenly didn't want to speak.
She forcibly took her eyes off Rong An's face, took a deep breath, and drank the wine in her glass elegantly.
"Does the eldest sister think this wine is good?"
"Hmm."
"That being the case......" Rong An showed a big smile, and then filled Rong Hua with his own hands, grabbed the fruit wine and pot on the table before, put it in the hands of the palace maid who was waiting and asked it to be removed.
"My sister loves mare's milk wine. We only drink mare's milk! Sister, I'll drink with you. ”
The strange taste of sour and spicy in the mouth, accompanied by a faint fishy smell, went straight to his throat, making De Ronghua nauseous, and it was too late to find out that the fruit wine had been withdrawn.
The palace maid retreated, and she was embarrassed to call her back, so she had to stare at the white glass of milk wine, and blocked it in one breath, which was even more disgusting.
Gritting his teeth, smiling, clenching his fists, his back was cold, but the fire in his chest burned even more fiercely...... With every breath she made, she almost felt the urge to strangle Yu Rongan.
She decided that today, after this feast, she would be as far away from Rong'an as possible. At that time, no matter who she wants to play with, he must not look for her, ignore her, ignore her......
And with the emperor taking the lead, the atmosphere was a lot more lively.
Singing and dancing also rose.
The emperor propped his head and stared at Zhu Chengyi, who was staggered with the emperor's relatives, and waved his hand.
"Your father entrusted you to me, and I can't watch you idle all day. So I've been agonizing for days, what kind of position should I give you. I have an idea today. ”
Zhu Chengyi immediately knelt nervously when he heard this.
"Please also ask the emperor to be sympathetic to the ministers who have just entered Beijing, and they are not familiar with the personnel in Beijing, so why not postpone this matter for a few days?"
"You monkey, don't prevaricate with excuses. You haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and you've been in trouble. Even the ribs were broken. If I don't find you something to do, you don't know how much trouble you'll have to make. How do you want me to explain to your father? ”
King Yan'an said so generously, if he, the emperor, would not give him a serious position, and would not even give him a serious position, he would not be able to say anything if he left people in the capital.
So, it's today.
