Chapter 229: Say What? She's out of words!
The chamberlains and maids distributed the meat in the pot and the meat and vegetables on the grill to each table. In this gap, Emperor Yan Shengdi noticed the small action of Wan Wan kicking the square stool, and also noticed the action of Feng Qingcheng untying the cloak for her.
For the first time in his life, he found a sense of accomplishment as a matchmaker. Since his succession to the throne, he has not given many marriages, but each time it has been to balance the situation or solve the problem. The only time he made a decree to marry in order to fulfill the affection of others, and it caused a mess of troubles.
It was also the first time he had made a marriage decree. Since then, he no longer dares to pull anyone's red line in order to be an old man.
Now looking at the appearance of the two young couples, the frustration that Yan Shengdi had buried for many years quietly dissipated. He thought about it carefully, and he was actually quite suitable for pulling the red line. Even if the marriage is given to balance the situation or solve the problem, the couple is doing well. The time he got into trouble was not strictly speaking, his problem. It was not the result of his subjective thinking, but the begging of his eldest sister and niece.
Emperor Yansheng's mood was inexplicably much better. He suddenly found that it was quite a happy thing to pull the red thread to pull out a pair of good couples. Not only is there a sense of accomplishment, but there is also a faint sense of merit.
At this time, the meat had been divided, and Emperor Yan Shengdi lifted the chopsticks and said to Wan Wan with a smile: "Ah Wan came at the right time, it can be seen that she is a blessed person." ”
Wan Wan replied sincerely: "The minister also thinks so. ”
She really thinks so. I saw the people I was thinking about, and there were so many delicious foods, so this trip was not the right time.
I couldn't figure out what this meal was, so I put it aside and didn't think about it. She was very busy at this time, she had to nibble on those soft and crispy lamb chops, the roast meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and she also had to help Feng Qingcheng carry ingredients into the small pot.
There's nothing more appealing on a snowy day than these hot delicacies.
Wan Wan ate happily, and as for the thick fold in her arms, she chose to forget it temporarily. The three protagonists and the main supporting characters in the excerpt are all present, not to mention that she is not full now, even if she is too hungry, she will not choose to present it at this time.
The wine in the pot went down in half, and the ingredients on the grill were newly laid. Emperor Yan Shengdi is still talking about homely things, and everyone is also cooperating.
The snow flies outside the pavilion, and the wine in the pavilion is fragrant and mellow. The heat of the charcoal fire bakes a piece of warmth, making the harmony on the surface more and more real.
The topic of the people in the pavilion changed from gossip to reminiscing about the childhood anecdotes of several princes, and then talked about stopping the war and expanding the territory. Everyone's speech finally diverged, and the smell of gunpowder was already in the air between the peaceful words.
The king of Jin advocated stopping the fighting, disarming and returning to the fields, and focusing on the agricultural economy. The king of Chu advocated expanding the territory, strengthening the army and increasing the army, and subduing the world. King Qin didn't say much, just listened with a smile. When Emperor Yan asked him clearly, he replied concisely and only said that it was timely.
That's right, when to do something. This is not what the Sacred Emperor of Keyan wants. He glanced at the King of Chu, the King of Chu is a bit of a sharp thing, but compared to the merits, the King of Chu has more shortcomings, especially one that is very taboo.
He looked at King Qin again, and then at Feng Qingcheng, who rarely spoke, and Wan Wan and Yao Guiyuan, who were surprisingly similar in style.
Emperor Yan Shengdi was a little suspicious that King Qin had deliberately brought these two pieces of material over. He vaguely felt that among his sons, King Qin was the one who was the best at hiding his thoughts. No matter when or under any circumstances, King Qin is so gentle and calm. This is a kind of bearing, and it is also a kind of ability hidden in the city.
While Emperor Yan Shengdi was silently pondering, Luo Qingzhang asked Yao Guiyuan, "What is General Yao's opinion?" ”
Yao Guiyuan's answer was shorter than that of King Qin, "If the official family says to fight, then fight, and if the official family says not to fight, then not to fight." ”
Yang Yi smiled: "General Yao said this, which means that he didn't say it. ”
Yao Guiyuan put down his chopsticks for a while and said, "You all know that the Yao family has never had any talent as a general. This title is based on the kindness of Taizong and the courage of the ancestors of the Yao family. I don't understand what you're saying.
The official said that he wanted to fight, so I just carried my knife and went into battle. The official family said that if they didn't fight, I would stay in Kyoto. Why bother thinking about things you don't understand. ”
King Jin heard Yao Guiyuan's words, and his heart became more and more stable. No matter how high King Qin's background is, how strong his ability is. But look at these people around him, what great things can he achieve.
The two Yang adults beside King Jin were thinking exactly the opposite of King Jin at the moment. In their opinion, the power and strength of King Qin are still mostly unknown. His mother clan and his wife's clan have no one available, and he can still get to this point quickly. This shows that the situation is far more difficult than they expected.
After thinking about it, no one continued the topic, and Emperor Yan Shengdi didn't speak when he had half a rib in his mouth. So the conversation was interrupted for a while.
Wanwan, who was happily carrying mushrooms into the pot, suddenly felt bad. In the discussion of this topic, it seems that she is the only one left who has not spoken. But don't let anyone out of her eyes to speak.
She doesn't have that kind of vision, and she hasn't been trained as a science student, and she hasn't cultivated that kind of quality. Ask her what she is going to say. I can't repeat the argument that I will fight wherever the leader points out.
Whatever you are worried about, you can come. The mushrooms that were brought into the pot were not yet cooked, so the king of Chu brought up the pot of water that Wan Wan didn't want to mention the most.
"I don't know what kind of opinion Lord Ming has?"
The voice of the king of Chu broke the silence and immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Emperor Yan didn't expect Wan Wan to say something different from Yao Guiyuan. But Wan Wan aimed at King Qin's slightly pale face at this moment. The similarity between that face and Fengqingcheng's, as well as the basket of crayfish and Princess Qin's two kindnesses, made her embarrassed to copy General Yao's arguments.
She also saw it in the past half a day. The relatives on both sides of the King of Chu and the King of Jin are very face-earning. She doesn't have the ability to earn face, but she can still try to lose a little face. Saying the same thing as General Yao and talking nonsense, comparing the latter will not be too embarrassing. At least it can't be as ridiculous as the former.
So she put down her chopsticks and began her tugging, "Naturally, it is the best thing to stop." Only the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. ”
After that, Wan Wan felt that it was too short and too bland, and the few people on the other side were all reasonable and well-founded, so she had to add some arguments to it. But what she had in her mind was code, not rhetoric and political history, and she couldn't find the slightest argument from it.
The topic is open without arguments. How to resolve this embarrassment?
Of course, it was immediately the first turn. You can't interrupt the sentence so that others can see the flaws.
"But it's not easy to stop." A turning sentence was spoken, Wan Wan paused slightly, and started a new round of nonsense, "Where there are interests in this world, there are disputes." We stop fighting, but others don't. Instead of waiting for others to hit us, it is better to strike first. ”
Emperor Yan was a little surprised, looked at Wan Wan and said, "Go on." ”
Wan Wan had already lifted her chopsticks, ready to take the freshly ripe mushrooms. When Emperor Yan asked this, she was stunned for a moment.
Say what? She's out of words!
