Chapter 18: Kneel One, One Again, Kneel!?
"You know?" Seeing Baolu's demeanor, Ruyi showed her little daughter's shyness, "Introduce me to know me~"
"Eh......" Baolu didn't know how to say it clearly, so he could only show that it was a set of his own young lady relationship, which could barely be regarded as acquaintance, because the other party definitely didn't remember who he was, "That's my future uncle, the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"Oh, I listen to my royal brother...... Brother, Brother Huang said, then he is Xiao Junkun, the second young master of General Xiao's mansion? Ruyi paused for a moment, but fortunately, Baolu was paying attention to the situation in front of him and didn't notice it.
"I think he's just like that, not to the point where people and gods are angry." Although among the bearded and old civil officials, Xiao Junkun, who is still young and in his prime, is indeed outstanding, and the wild phoenix in the pheasant is just like Qiu Xiang played by Gong Li - "stunning" in comparison. Baolu thought about it, in fact, just talking about appearance, Hu Yidao is a little bit stronger than Xiao Junkun!
"What do you know?" Ruyi couldn't listen to the people he looked down on, and explained very unconvincingly: "Look at the palace, there are all half-male and half-female eunuchs, Xiao Erlang's righteousness is called manliness, manliness!" Do you understand? ”
"Poof!" Bao Lu laughed out loud without righteousness, "Where did you smell his manliness?" It's so far away, thanks to your nose! ”
"Shh Ruyi lowered his body and pulled Baolu to hide in the flowers next to him, and the emperor led the group to slowly paced towards the pavilion where they were hiding.
"What does Xiao Aiqing think about this invasion of the frontier country?"
Bao Lu peeked through the cracks in the branches, the one who spoke was the emperor, and the facial features on his face could not be seen clearly from the angle, but the voice was also very pleasant, low and magnetic, with a lazy taste.
"Returning to the emperor, the minister thought that since the first emperor personally defeated the enemy, the army of Yi was no longer enough to fear, and this invasion was just a small action, not enough trouble; Su Xiang's words are inappropriate to send troops to suppress the town. ”
The bearded old man who replied should be Xiao Junyan's father, General Xiao Shizhen, who is actually only in his forties, probably because of the previous battlefield battles and the beard he grown, he looks much older.
"Why did Aiqing say this?" The Emperor stopped and turned to face the crowd behind him.
"Nowadays, although the development of our Great Banner Country is thriving, but inside, the rebels and rebellions of the previous dynasty are not stopped, and the power of the scholars is increasing day by day, and a decree issued by the imperial court often cannot be issued to the people; And the whole country will have less than a million soldiers, and there will not be enough in Annei, so how can there be people who send troops to fight? Isn't it according to Su Xiang, who attacked with all his nest, leaving only civil officials to protect this country? ! After finishing speaking, General Xiao bowed his head and bowed to his knees.
"What does General Xiao mean by this?" Bao Lu saw that his master was also out of the ranks, and fired a cannon at General Xiao: "The country is uneven, and the people on the border of our country will never have a peaceful day!" At that time, the emperor's personal expedition was only 200,000 sons, and he was so suppressed that he did not dare to commit it for ten years. Now that there are more than 300,000 troops under General Xiao alone, and the military salaries allocated by the imperial court every year account for most of the national treasury revenue, is it possible that there are no troops to fight for our people now? After speaking, Su Xiang bowed down and bowed to the emperor: "Although the minister is a minister, he is not a weak scholar who is powerless. ”
"Aiqing is flat," the emperor seemed to be very moved by these words, and personally stepped forward to help the two humerus ministers, and said: "I know General Xiao's concerns, and I understand Su Xiang's patriotism." It's just that when the queen mother asked about it, I didn't know how to answer......"
turned around, and the emperor walked into the pavilion, but the words did not stop: "Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the former prince died in that war." When the queen mother heard that Yiguo had committed another crime, she thought that it was because she had reminded her of the past and didn't want to be trampled on by the barbarians again, so she asked me to make an idea. ”
Bao Lu saw that the corner lamp in the pavilion illuminated the emperor's body, only his face, which did not seem to be talking about a light topic, hanging low, so that she could not see his facial features clearly.
"Weichen is ashamed of the former emperor and the queen mother!" General Xiao was the first, again, and knelt down.
Then, the accompanying civil and military officials responded to the voices one after another, and Ulala knelt down in a large area.
Bao Green thought to himself, it's not interesting to be an official, you see! Su Xiang and General Xiao are both below two or three people, above ten thousand people, it's only been a matter of a few minutes, and they have both knelt twice! And as a gesture of heartfelt appreciation, there was a sound of sobbing in that area...... It is estimated that everyone who can do things in front of the emperor is nominated for an Oscar.
'Uh......' Bao Lu listened carefully, why did the little palace maid beside him also shed tears? Isn't it a high ideological consciousness, and he really regards his master as an ancestor, this person who worries about the country and the people and the queen mother, how big of a deal do you do?
"Why are you crying?" Bao Lu asked in a low voice, for fear that the people in the pavilion would hear it.
"Woooooooooo......oo The crown prince is the only son of the Queen Mother...... He was 16 years old when he died...... Woo woo woo ...... "Ruyi is crying out of breath."
"So small? What did the emperor and the queen mother think, let such a young son run to the front line? Baolu was a little surprised, it stands to reason that ancient kings paid attention to successors, after all, there is such a big "family business" to inherit, and the emperor will conquer it in person, how can even the prince be brought to the battlefield?
"The queen mother said that the emperor insisted on taking the prince back then, saying that the tiger father had no dogs, and the father and son soldiers on the battlefield, and also said that his country was bullied by the barbarians to the doorstep, and asked them to see how the good men of my banner country fought on the battlefield...... Pity my prince...... brother" was shocked and almost blurted out the word 'brother', and Ruyi quickly stopped.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" A high-pitched voice came, it was the father-in-law who was waiting in front of the Queen Mother.
"Greeting the Queen Mother's holy driving ......" is the voice of hundreds of officials one after another.
Bao Lu looked at Xiang Ye's legs a little distressed, the kneeling emperor has not yet kneeled, and as soon as the queen mother came, she turned around and continued to kneel......
"Everyone loves to be flat." A very soft voice came, Bao Lu followed the voice and looked, it turned out that this was the Queen Mother!
Dressed in a he-colored satin palace robe, the corners of the robe decorated with glass beads fell softly, with her movements, the neckline and sleeves of the robe were embroidered with gold threads with auspicious clouds, and the body was decorated with elegant chrysanthemums with ink-colored silk threads seemingly casually; On his fingers, he wore the armor made of cold jade, which was the standard of the Queen Mother, and was inlaid with several huge pigeon's blood rubies, which were extravagant; There are only two simple red gold cloisonné warm jade fire phoenixes with pearl hairpins inserted into the moon-to-moon bun, and the thin mutton fat white jade tassels hanging down move with the wind......
How much ocean is this worth?
Bao Lu looked at the little golden light reflected by the golden silk in the dark night, and his own eyes almost lit up. Sure enough, she deserves to be the 'mother' of a country, look, the equipment is neat, and everyone looks like they have a lot of share! In fact, just talking about appearance, this queen mother is definitely not a national beauty and fragrance (of course, including this face when she was young), take the group of noble girls that Su Peiyi gathered here today, at most, it can be regarded as middle and upper, but put on these clothes and jewelry or something, and then a group of people kneel in front of them - everyone looks like the queen mother!
