Chapter 418:-for-tat
"Yu Xiaocao, do you have anything to say?" General Shi's questioning is quite reasonable, could it be that he, a little fellow who has traveled through the country, really has any magic weapon in hand? Zhu Junfan touched his chin and looked at the little girl without the slightest panic and nervousness with interest.
Yu Xiaocao turned his head and glanced at the old general who was nearly sixty years old, and was a little surprised in his heart: he didn't seem to have seen him before, let alone offended, how could this stubborn old man who looked like Zhang Fei seem to be aimed at himself? Don't...... She took the credit, and he was jealous?
"Your Majesty...... And this old general! Do you know that two years ago, when the folk girl was swimming in the sea, she once rescued a young dolphin. The little dolphin is very spiritual, and after recovering from the injury, he remembers the folk girl, and every time the folk girl goes to the beach to catch the sea or dive, it will always swim around the folk girl and play.
The folk girl accidentally discovered that the little dolphin could swim as fast as a person in the sea with a person, no less than a fast ...... From time to time, the clipper let it carry the folk girl to play in the deep sea. This matter, our whole family, as well as the king of Yangjun, all know about it. This is also one of the reasons why they are relieved that the folk girl goes to the deep sea diving alone. On that day, it was Xiaobu - this is the name given to the little dolphin by the folk girl - who swam back with me! ”
Yu Xiaocao behaved very calmly, although the things she said were a little bizarre, most of the ministers believed her words in their hearts. But there are still some people who scoff at her, such as General Shi not far from her.
Zhu Junfan saw that General Shi didn't believe it at all, so he looked in the direction of Zhu Junyang and asked in a loud voice: "Junyang, is what Yu Xiaocao said true?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this is indeed the case! I saw it with my own eyes!! King Yangjun came out of the ranks, took two steps forward, and came to Yu Xiaocao's side, his phoenix eyes glanced in her direction, and the moment he met Xiaocao's eyes, he seemed to be silently comforting: Don't be afraid, there is a master!
Zhu Junfan bowed slightly, looked at General Shi, and asked, "General Shi, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Your Majesty! It's not that Weichen doesn't believe in King Yangjun, this matter is too absurd and bizarre to convince the public! General Shi's thick eyebrows furrowed, and his messy beard shook from time to time as he spoke.
Yu Xiaocao frowned slightly, looked at General Shi puzzled, and said, "General Shi, I haven't sinned against you, right?" Why can't you get along with my little girl? ”
"Presumptuous! In front of the emperor, how can you talk nonsense? When will the old man not be able to get along with you? The old man is stating a fact! What you say, it's too hard to scrutinize!! General Shi stared at her fiercely with bronze bell-like eyes. That look, if it was a real teenage girl, she would have been scared to cry.
Yu Xiaocao didn't scare him! She's not lying, what's there to worry about? Besides, in the current form, it is obvious that the emperor is on her side, and this old general with a stinky and hard temper is useless to jump again.
"The facts? What facts? What I said is true, you have no investigation and no right to speak!! Any villager in Dongshan Village knows about this matter, and the results of the investigation will come out, as for me to lie and deceive the emperor? It is said in the play that the bully is to kill the head, and it is possible to even the nine clans! You're stupid! Kidding your own life? "Yu Xiaocao doesn't write anymore, anyway, the other party is also a martial artist, and I don't know if he can understand it if he can understand it!
"Can dolphins get close to people and play with you? Nonsense! Your Majesty, please punish this girl who bewitches the public severely! General Shi was furious, he was old, and he was taught a lesson by a little girl, how could he endure it?
"On what basis do you cure me? Just because I told the truth?? Old general, don't rely on the old and sell the old, rely on your own merits, and use words to squeeze the emperor! On the merits, the emperor will give justice to the people's daughters!! Yu Xiaocao slashed at the stinky old man with a little white eye, punish the crime? You don't count!!
General Shi was furious, a little frightened in his heart, relying on military exploits to coerce the emperor, this is a great disrespectful crime! He looked down on this little girl, who seemed to be a country girl who didn't know anything, but he didn't expect to have such scheming and scheming!
"Don't talk nonsense! When did the old man run on the emperor? Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old ministers!! General Shi shouted injustice.
Zhu Junfan looked at General Shi with a pleasant face, and asked gently, "Shi Aiqing, have you ever been to the beach?" ”
"Lao Chen hasn't been there!" General Shi wondered why the emperor asked this, but he still answered honestly.
"Have you ever seen a dolphin?" Zhu Junfan asked again.
"The old minister has never seen ......" General Shi's doubts in his heart were even worse, and he continued to answer honestly.
Zhu Junfan said with a smile: "When I was in the shipyard, I lived by the sea for a while. During the trial boat, I once saw a group of dolphins, chasing the boat, jumping and playing in the sea. Dolphins are docile sea creatures, smart and well-behaved, and can perform many complex movements when trained. I once heard stories from old fishermen on the beach about dolphins saving people. Therefore, what the little girl of the Yu family said is not absurd and bizarre. ”
General Shi saw that the emperor obviously supported the Yu family's girl, and he was a little unconvinced, and he had to make a final effort: "Your Majesty, a story is just a story after all!" ”
"Your Majesty, old general, I'm not talking about a story! Animals are the most sensitive, and if you are kind to them, they will be gentle, and if you are malicious to them, they will be vicious. At the time of the locust plague that year, the herbivores in the mountains were almost extinct, and the carnivorous animals were also facing extinction. The folk girl and her younger brother went into the mountains to collect firewood, and met a gray wolf who was so thin that only a handful of bones remained......"
The ministers in the palace seemed to be a little concerned about the following plot, and they all listened attentively. After Yu Xiaocao paused, he continued: "It didn't hurt me and my brother, but turned around and went to a cave, and took out two little wolf cubs from it that were about to starve to death!" He put the little wolf cub in front of me and my brother, looked back at us, and hobbled away! ”
"And then?" Zhu Junfan's eyes were staring at her, as if he was waiting for her follow-up development.
"Later? We saw that the two little wolves were pitiful, so we took them back and raised them. Later, when our family had a wolf disaster, the gray wolf appeared again, which not only helped us eliminate the wolves, but also saved my father's life! I know, it's because the gray wolf thanked us for raising his cubs, so he came to help! Yu Xiaocao simply told the ending of the matter, and Zhu Junfan glanced at her with some reproach, feeling that she was a little anticlimactic, and the narration was not vivid and interesting at all.
"Are you sure you're not making up a story? When you encounter a hungry wolf, it doesn't pounce and bite you to death as food, who will believe it? "General Shi is stubborn, thinking that Yu Xiaocao is full of nonsense and is not enough to believe!
"Believe it or not! As long as the emperor believes it, it will be done!! Your Majesty, those two wolf cubs have grown into big wolves, taller than me, and can give us a care home! This time, the fathers and villagers of our village, together with Princess Jing's main entourage, hid in the western mountains. Those two wolf cubs go out to hunt every day, catch prey and give us food! Yu Xiaocao threw him a small white eye.
"Are you sure you're talking about wolves, not dogs?" General Shi scoffed.
"Our wolves have been raised since childhood, and they are more obedient than dogs! Our little roe deer will go to the toilet by themselves! Believe it or not! I'm too lazy to tell you......" Yu Xiaocao turned his head and gave him a look at the back of his head.
"You...... Your Majesty, listen, what this girl said is simply nonsense......"
"Old General Shi, don't get excited! Whether it is nonsense or not, as long as the emperor sends someone to Dongshan Village to ask! "King Yangjun couldn't allow this old guy to bully his little girl, and decided not to be silent anymore.
Zhu Junfan also nodded and said: "Shi Aiqing, the little girl of the Yu family also said, everyone in Dongshan Village knows these things, if you don't believe it, you can go there in person, won't the truth be revealed?" You can say that the little girl is lying alone, and it is impossible for every village to follow her to bully the king, right? ”
"The emperor is wise!" Yu Xiaocao glanced at Old Man Shi triumphantly, and slapped the emperor's ass slightly.
"Since some people have doubts about your merits in resisting the Japanese, then I won't mention it for the time being. I heard that the yield of wheat planted by your Yu family's Zhuangzi is as high as more than 600 catties. Is there such a thing? Zhu Junfan thought of the reason for the meeting between the father and daughter of the Xuanyu clan this time, waved his hand to let General Shi step back, and asked in a harmonious voice.
Yu Xiaocao took a step back and gently pulled his father's sleeve, meaning that he would receive the credit.
Yu Hai secretly took a breath and stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing!" ”
Zhu Junfan sat up straight, his tone was a little urgent, and asked, "Tell me, how can your wheat yield be so high?" ”
Yu Hai thought for a while and said, "Back to the emperor, the seeds of wheat are carefully selected by the grass people and their daughters, and they are all full of seeds. When cultivating, intensive cultivation is carried out, and the tenant farmers serve it more carefully. In addition, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past half a year, so ......"
"That's not the real reason!!" Liu Shangshu jumped out eagerly, interrupted Yu Hai's words, and argued, "In the experimental field on our Huangzhuang, almost one person serves one acre of experimental field, and the fertilizer is also sufficient, and the grain seeds are almost picked out one by one. The climate of the capital is not much different from Tanggu. However, when we harvested in the summer, the average yield per mu had not yet reached 400 catties! Brother Yu, don't hide your secrets, quickly tell the real reason! ”
Yu Hai's face was embarrassed, and after thinking carefully, he replied: "According to what Lord Liu said, the winter wheat on the grass people's Zhuangzi does not seem to be any different in cultivation!" Oh! The grass farmer remembered that after the seeds were picked, they had been sprayed with a self-made pest-resistant potion made by the grass farmer's daughter before planting. Perhaps, there is such a reason ......"
