Chapter 63: Wait for me to sweep the world
The sun is shining, reflecting the red walls and blue tiles.
Although Liuguo is small, it has only one county and a population of 500,000. But the thousand-year-old accumulation is extraordinary. The palace is built in depth and magnificence, and the carved beams are painted everywhere, which is beautiful.
The dougong of the palace of the heart spans eight zhang, and the dome is five zhang from the ground. The house was empty, and the voice of speech was dull.
An old man with a white beard and a high crown took a sip of tea, frowned, put down the cup, and said:
"The old minister heard that the princess is about to issue a decree prohibiting grain rice from leaving the city and the relocation of officials."
Liu Ruofei smiled lightly, picked up the teacup on the bookcase, elegantly flicked the foam with the lid, took a sip, and asked about an irrelevant matter.
"Prime Minister, are you not used to drinking tea?"
The old man didn't expect that when discussing the timing of the National University, the princess would mention the trivial matter of mung beans and sesame. His expression couldn't help but froze, and he replied sullenly:
"The people of the mountains lack oil, salt, bean flour, ginger and garlic, and use tea leaves to soak water to quench their thirst. Although Liuguo is small, it is a rich land and a land of fish and rice. The princess is in charge of the country, and there are many opportunities. Treat yourself so harshly, wouldn't you be laughed at by the world if you spread it? said that the country of Liu was poor and barbaric, and the princess had to eat tea......"
Another old man with a white beard solemnly straightened his crown and interjected:
"Prime Minister Gao is wrong to say this...... At the beginning of people, the dining style sleeps in the open, and the hair drinks blood, what is ridiculous? The princess gave up delicacies and coarse food, which is an example for the people. At the time of national crisis, we should forge ahead, be thrifty and brave. What's more, although the wind of tea came from poor places such as Huaguo, where the vitality of heaven and earth was scarce, the wealthy families and monks also began to love it......"
"Hmph, Li Saijiu, you are frugal and frugal, do you know what kind of tea the monk drinks? It was spiritual tea, a few taels of silver for a cup. ”
On the surface, it is a dispute over eating tea, but in fact, it is a dispute over customs and how to get along with the country of Vietnam.
Li Zheng said coldly:
"Prime Minister Gao, don't you just think that Liu and Yue are in the same domain. Since they drink tea to get rid of moisture, we should follow suit, right? ”
Minister Gao Yuan did not answer positively, looked up to the sky and snorted:
"Li Da sacrificial wine, the old man heard that your daughter and son-in-law saw that Liu Guo was in trouble, and immediately put on some gold and silver and ran away without a shadow. You are alone, how can you set an example for the countrymen, how to forge ahead? ”
The front of the Guozi priest Jiu Li did not change color, and said:
"A son-in-law is a son-in-law, and Li is a Li. Since you have sworn to live and die with Liucheng, you will never steal your life......"
Gao Yuan snorted: "Duplicity." ”
Li Zheng sneered at each other and said: "Li's words and deeds are the same, unlike some people who are generous and heroic, and secretly set up industrial ...... in other countries in private."
Gao Yuan was furious, glared at Li Zheng and scolded in a rough voice:
"You old puppet, bloody mouth......"
That's enough!
Liu Ruofei stood up and slapped his palm on the table, his face full of anger.
The teacup that had just been put down jumped a few times and rolled to the ground. Fortunately, the floor tiles were covered with a thick embroidered mattress, so they did not break.
A clever little palace maid quickly stepped forward to clean up the teacup and wipe the table.
Behind the two thick pillars, two palace maids with swords on their backs quickly flashed, and seeing that there was nothing big about it, they disappeared silently, like two shadows.
The two old men lowered their heads and were silent.
Liu Ruofei pointed at them one by one and scolded sharply:
"See for yourselves what it looks like...... The important ministers of the country, noisy and shouting in the palace, what kind of system has it become? Hmph, do you think Ruofei is too young to take on a big responsibility? It's only been ten days since he was imprisoned, so he wants to give a dismount? ”
The two old men hurriedly stood up, bowed down, and said in fear:
"I don't dare."
Liu Ruofei's eye circles are slightly dark, and she is covered up with heavy makeup, which makes her look much more mature than her actual age. The temples are towering, and the eyebrows are raised, adding to the majesty.
"Although tea is small, tasting tea is also like tasting life. Hongu dares to assert that in a few decades, eating tea will become drinking tea, tasting tea, and no more discretionary ingredients. Like the way of eating in the Yue country, and even the rich family poured a spoonful of boiling oil, it is the real vulgar style and the tyrannical thing. Then it's not called tea, it's a flavored snack.
"My Liu country is also like this tea, first bitter and then sweet, it will be popular for thousands of years. Being laughed at right now is nothing. After a different day and a rebirth, it will surely be famous through the ages. You are a heavy minister, thinking that Ruofei is young and does not understand state affairs, and his heart can be learned. But if you can't do it, you can resign and return to the old age.
"Inside and outside the city, how many people have two hearts and are racing to flee. But I don't know that one day we will sweep the world, and there will be no place for them in this royal city.
"A few years ago, a recruitment order was issued, and no real person came. A few immortal masters came, just like serving their ancestors. As a result, they ate and drank well, and when they saw that great calamity was coming, they wiped their mouths and ran. In the end, only the child teacher persists. Those people are afraid of provoking the fire, but they don't know that one day, they will not be qualified to see the palace. ”
Sweeping the world?
Gee......
It's not a joke anymore!
Anyone who utters such a statement will be considered mad.
The tone is so big that even if the four superpowers join forces, plus the Daomen Buddhist Sect, they don't dare to say it. What's more, Liu Ruofei is just a princess of a small country that is about to collapse.
The two old men were inexplicable, and they thought about it again and again, and it was due to the fact that the children were arrogant and talked nonsense.
Gao Yuan coughed a few times and cleared his throat, carefully bypassing the crazy topic of the world, and said:
The old minister was short-sighted...... However, letting go of those who are going to leave and allowing them to carry their private property is a national policy set half a year ago. The order changes every day, and I am afraid that people will not be convinced. ”
"Sit down."
Liu Ruofei waved her hand, sat down slowly, and said:
"When my father passed away, the palace was in charge of the country, so naturally the palace had the final say. The Yue Kingdom is about to invade, if the grain is still allowed to go out of the city, wouldn't it be digging a grave for itself? Officials receive the grace of the country and enjoy glory. If he runs away at the time of national crisis, his heart can be punished, and his deeds should be killed. Ordinary fathers and elders have worked hard all their lives and will never be stopped. ”
"This ...... The old minister obeyed. ”
Gao Yuan groaned for a moment, and then asked:
"The immortal master's body is not invaded by cold and heat, and the evil spirit is easy to dispel. The child teacher is occasionally infected with a small illness, I don't know if it matters? ”
Liu Ruofei smiled slightly and said:
"Lao Guo is concerned, and the child teacher has been cured."
Li Zheng got up and arched his hand: "The minister has this music." ”
Liu Ruofei waved her hand and said with a smile: "The sacrificial wine is Ruofei's teacher, so there is no need to be formal." ”
Li Zheng didn't sit and said:
"By the decree of the princess, Guozijian stopped teaching. Half of the scholars are stranded in the dormitory, and today they gather to make a noise and write blood letters to ask for war. If you forcibly drive it away, you are afraid that it will chill people's hearts. ”
"What should I do with the sacrificial wine?"
"The minister thinks that 15 students from the Yue Kingdom should be driven away, and staying in the city may become a hidden danger."
Liu Ruofei shook her head and said with a smile:
"The population of the Yue country is forty times that of me, and it will be an upright soldier, and it will not rely on a few scholars to cooperate with the outside world. Since you don't want to go, then don't drive it away, and treat it well. ”
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and agreed, yes.
