Chapter 227: One Hundred Secrets and One Neglect
Zhongli knelt beside the emperor, looking at his nose and his nose, unmoved by the emperor's praise for him.
His hands were clasped to the marble floor, and he couldn't feel any joy in his heart.
Because, if there is a case today, I will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Zhongli, tell me, what reward do you want?"
The Emperor seemed to be in a good mood today, and asked Zhongli with a smile.
Zhongli couldn't help but clench his fists, suddenly looked up at the emperor, and shook his head gently.
"The emperor's grace is vast, treat the king with sincerity, and it is the duty of the grass people to serve the king loyally, and they dare not ask the emperor to reward him, but he asks the emperor to make his wishes come true, and it is enough for the dragon to be happy."
The emperor laughed and asked Zhongli to take him down, but the smile on his face was a little more meaningful.
If Zhongli saw this scene, he might not help but shudder in his heart.
Because, the anger in that eye is like substance.
Zhao Shan'er sat at a table next to her and watched Zhongli miss such an opportunity in vain, and she was angry to death.
Just when the emperor said it, she was still thinking in her heart that if Zhongli came out at this time to tell her father that she wanted herself, she didn't expect the truth to give her a heavy blow.
And Concubine Qi was relatively close to the emperor, and when she saw that the emperor's face was abnormal, she couldn't help but glance at Shan'er with some worry.
This Zhongli, the emperor's attitude is so strange.
However, soon, when the meal came up, everyone began to be lively, not to mention Wenchen here, but to say that the military generals began to eat meat and drink wine, especially the smell of Zhongli's barbecue was overwhelming here, how to smell and how fragrant.
Although there is no singing and dancing appreciation in previous years, it is good for them to be coarse.
The other Wenchen have nothing to say, after all, this hot pot is much better than the cold meals before, especially the barbecue, the taste is really amazing!
The emperor named people to get up and play games, and the momentum was just to amuse him and make him happy, everyone knew it in their hearts, so the emperor found that his ministers were still capable ministers.
Not to mention the poetry and praise that Wenchen got up, it is also refreshing to say that the high-pitched voices of the generals are also refreshing.
Especially, when one of the generals stood up and sang a song, the whole air suddenly fell silent.
But the general continued his voice without hesitation, as if he was addicted to it.
"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north. The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost......"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, waited until the man had finished singing, and then spoke lightly.
"Who are you?"
It's too far away to see clearly.
The man left his seat, flicked his sleeve a few times, and knelt down on one knee to speak to the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, the minister and the king will allow it."
Wang Yunrang!
The ministers were silent, waiting with bated breath for the emperor to speak.
Some old ministers naturally knew what happened back then, and if they were newcomers who had just entered the court as officials, they would naturally have discovered the mystery, so everyone was silent.
After all, what General Wang sang just now can resonate with them, especially as a military general.
The momentum is majestic and makes people's blood boil.
"Hehe, good singing."
At this time, General Wang clenched his fists again towards the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister sings well, but that this song is done well."
The fourth prince, who had been watching the battle from the side, thought of the shock of Zhongli when he stood in the middle of ten thousand people and opened his voice, and his eyes were full of tenderness, he slowly got up, stood in the middle and said to the emperor.
"Father, this song is also known to the ministers, it is a song that was widely praised in the barracks during the plague of that year. The name is called, loyal to the country. It also expressed the voices of the border soldiers, encouraging them to survive the plague, be loyal to their father, and contribute to the country. ”
The words of the fourth prince are particularly beautiful.
not only pointed out the plague of the year, but also reminded everyone that he entered the military camp on behalf of the prince back then, and secretly praised the emperor, although it also invisibly set the tone of this song a few points higher.
The emperor glanced at his fourth son and nodded slightly.
"Really? But who is this composer? It must be rewarded. ”
Wang Yunrang didn't know what he was thinking, and spoke directly to the emperor.
"Back to the emperor's words, when the plague swept the entire military camp, when the people were panicking, Zhong Mingcheng led people into the military camp, sent the items needed by the military camp, not to mention, but also brought a large number of non-governmental self-organized medical doctors, who treated us without sleep. This song came out at that time when it was to boost morale, reminding the majority of soldiers that only by staying in the body can they protect the apocalypse and serve the country loyally. ”
Zhong Mingcheng?
Zhao Shan'er was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and got up from her seat in surprise, looking at the emperor with bright eyes, and her voice was as crisp as a cuckoo.
"Father, father, Mingcheng is Zhongli's word, it's Zhongli, it's Zhongli!"
Zhongli simply surprised himself too much, what else would he not do?
If it weren't for the fact that she was still in the New Year's banquet, she would have to go to Zhongli to ask for clarification.
The emperor smiled at the corner of his lips, but his eyes were already cold.
"Oh? I couldn't have imagined that an ordinary ordinary person would dare to do such a thing. ”
The word "dare" made everyone suddenly feel excited, and always felt that something might be wrong.
But what exactly is wrong, they can't say.
"Go, call Zhong Li."
The emperor spoke lightly, and someone next to him immediately walked to the back.
Soon, a man dressed in a homemade floral chef's uniform came out, not that he didn't want white, but mainly during festivals, it was unlucky to wear white.
"Your Majesty!"
"I only now thought that Zhongli was loyal to the king and served the country, entered the military camp with the plague alone, and donated money and materials for the snow disaster, what do you say, what should I reward him?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, speechless.
Zhongli is just a common man, how can he be rewarded?
Although Zhongli didn't know what had just happened outside, he always felt a little subtle in his heart, so he spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, can you let the grass people ask for it themselves?"
"You say."
Zhongli straightened his face, took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his eyes, looking straight at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the grass people's parents died early, and they were forced to pull their younger brothers and sisters to grow up, and I only hope that they will be safe and prosperous for a lifetime, so can you ask the emperor for a Mobao?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they are all confused by Zhongli!
Their younger brother is safe and rich, what does it have to do with Zhongli? What does it have to do with Mobao?
Could it be that after the emperor gave the Mobao, they would be safe and prosperous?
"Oh?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows without being salty, Zhongli clenched his fists, afraid of something, what he was most worried about was that the emperor would turn over old accounts.
Although what he did was worthy of their gratitude to many people, it was not a good thing for the centralized emperor. is provoking his authority.
It's not normal for a grass man to be able to do what the emperor wants to do.
So he lowered his head and continued to show his loyalty.
"Yes, the grass people's wish in this life is only to be a farmer, and maybe they can become the owner of the first village in the world."
Shinong industry and commerce, agriculture ranked second.
If there is Emperor Mobao here, presumably these princes will be a little cautious when dealing with themselves.
Staff, he is not uncommon.
"The first village in the world! What a world's first village! Okay, that's accurate. ”
Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated and left.
It's just that when his body was about to leave here, he suddenly found that a figure beside him was walking quickly towards the emperor, and the dagger in the other party's hand pierced her eyes.
Zhongli couldn't help but change his complexion, looked up in shock, and suddenly his expression was abrupt, and he rushed towards Zhongli in three steps and two steps.
This man was dressed in the clothes of a eunuch, so everyone didn't pay much attention.
It was Zhongli, who originally left and went back again, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhongli didn't care about anything else at this time, his face turned pale, and he rushed over there in a cold sweat on his forehead, shouting loudly.
"Be careful!"
Originally, people who hadn't seen it just now also fixed their eyes here at this time.
And the eunuch with the dagger respectfully presented the dagger to the emperor with both hands.
Zhongli watched as the Emperor took the knife, and then cut off a few slices of the venison he had roasted earlier and put them on a plate.
Zhongli's face changed in two, and his expression was a little stiff as he squeezed out a smile towards the emperor, and was about to turn around and go out.
It's just that who knows, when she just turned behind the dragon chair, the mutation will start again.
"Someone! Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! ”
Flow?
Zhongli couldn't help but change his complexion, and hurriedly rushed outside.
And the whole hall was also panicked, and I saw that the civil and military officials who were still sitting on the throne immediately took action, wanting to rush over to protect the emperor.
It's just that the people who are one step ahead of them are the wives of those ministers who have orders, and the children who came with them, and the concubines with relatively low grades in the palace also rushed out with a big change in their faces.
Concubine Qi Niangniang forced herself to stabilize her mind, and after ordering someone to escort her daughter away, she hurriedly walked to the emperor and spoke with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, it's not safe here, why don't we take shelter behind the palace?"
The emperor's originally dark face eased a little at this time, he reached out and patted Concubine Qi's hand with some emotion, and was about to speak, when he saw a person in front of him rushing towards him quickly, and the long sword seemed to cut through the air and make a whining sound.
Concubine Qi turned her head in accordance with the emperor's gaze, but before she could react, she saw the emperor stretch out his hand and block her body in front.
A sharp pain came from her chest, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes and raise her head in shock, but when she wanted to speak, there was no sound.
The emperor didn't care about the concubine in his arms, so he only flew up and kicked at the person who came, and the eunuchs and guards around him who had just had no time to escort him rushed over and fought with people, while others escorted the emperor out.
