Chapter 420: The Lonely Tiger House
"The prince is really a blessed man, His Majesty has instructed the old slave several times to care more about the prince's body, if the famous doctor in Shu is not good enough, the imperial doctor in the capital will be selected at will. The eunuch Li Gonggong was full of emotion, and his tone was full of honor for the prince.
The Shu Dynasty arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's holy grace, Xiao Wang's health is okay, but he is old, and he doesn't want to be so tired anymore, so he went back to the capital to see His Majesty, and said..."
"Lord Wang. Gonggong Li interrupted the words of the King of Shu: "Your Majesty specially told the old slave, don't mention what the prince said, don't mention it again, say that if the prince mentions it again, ignore it directly." The old slave doesn't want to be rude, but he can't disobey His Majesty. ”
"It's Xiao Wang's fault, Xiao Wang is wrong, don't mention it, don't mention it. "The king of Shu originally wanted to submit the matter of Shu autonomy again, but Gonggong Li said it in one sentence, and the most powerful prince of the Great Song Dynasty had to give up.
Then the king of Shu asked his henchman Wang eunuch to accompany Gonggong Li to declare the decree, and he went out with a confession.
Gonggong Li and Wang Gonggong are happy together, not to mention that they have been here so many times before, and each time they are accompanied by Wang Gonggong, the two have long been very familiar with each other.
The prince took Gonggong Li to walk in the court for a while, and then mysteriously said that he would take Gonggong Li to see something interesting.
Eunuch Li readily agreed. followed the prince in the palace and twisted around to a hill. It is said that it is a hill, but it is not actually a mountain, it is made up of many rockeries, and it is conceivable how many rockeries must be piled up to form a real hill.
"Father-in-law Li, please. The two came to a wide cave, which was brightly lit and fair.
The two walked in one after the other, the passage was very spacious, five or six people could walk side by side, and the two walked in about a few dozen steps and walked into a more spacious place. It is round on all sides, and on this large semicircle, there is a hole that sticks into it every few feet. The door of the cave was a heavy iron fence, and Gonggong Li felt a little strange, what was inside these prisons?
"Father-in-law Li, please take a look. Eunuch Wang walked to one of the caves and pointed to it for Gonggong Li to see.
Gonggong Li walked up to the inside and took a look: "Ah, this is... Elephants in the Western Regions?"
"Exactly, Gonggong Li is really erudite. The prince gave a thumbs up.
I saw a behemoth more than a foot tall in the cave, slowly raising its long nose, as if it was sniffing something.
"Gonggong Li looks here again. The eunuch pointed to the cave beside him.
Gonggong Li took a look: "This is a tiger, I have seen it many times in the painting, but it is the first time I have seen it, it is really majestic!"
Then I looked at leopards, deer, wolves, and so on. After looking around, Gonggong Li was so excited that he forgot the time, and he didn't feel hungry when he was supposed to eat at noon.
"Gonggong Li, the prince is waiting for you with a banquet, why don't we watch it again in the afternoon?"
Li Gongcheng was looking up at an animal called an ostrich that he had never seen before, his eyes were very smart, his body was very large, his neck was long, but his wings and feet didn't look like he could fly, but what kind of bird was it... Listening to the prince's words, Gonggong Li nodded and said, "Okay, the prince is hospitable, how can the old slave not go to accompany the prince to have a few drinks and go." ”
The banquet was held in the main hall where the princes and ministers were feasted, and were accompanied by talented rosacea noses and young men. One is the prime minister, and the other is the imperial history. 536 Literature
One is the head of the civil officials who are in charge of political affairs, and the other is the head of the officials who picket hundreds of officials.
It is enough to show the importance of this banquet, but the person who was invited to the banquet was just a eunuch. This is something that would never happen in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
But in Shu, in this Shu Palace, it happened.
"Father-in-law Li, this time you must stay a few more days and take a good look at Xiao Wang's tiger house, it has only been built for less than half a year, and Lone has collected so many rare and exotic beasts, how about it?"
Gonggong Li did it first as a respect, and said after drinking: "Lord, our family has really gained a lot of knowledge today, some strange beasts have never even seen in the painting, I really admire the prince, where did you get so many strange beasts?"
"What a lot of effort did it take to get so much, Gonggong Li, when you go back this time, you must tell Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has time, you will definitely come here to have a look. The King of Shu said with a smug face, thought about it, and said a little unhappily: "Alas, but Xiao Wang knows that His Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can he take the time to look at this..."
Gonggong Li comforted him: "Your Majesty asked me to tell the prince that this autumn, if I have time, I will come to see you, the prince." ”
When the dignified King of Shu heard this, he jumped up from his seat like a child happily, and raised his wine glass to the east: "Xiao Wang respects His Majesty with a glass." ”
The atmosphere of this banquet is very good, the prime minister of the palace and the prince in the imperial history are capable people, who know how to make the king of Shu happy, and can become the right and left hand of the king of Shu, of course, it is not a mediocre person.
The prince regarded Gonggong Li as a guest, and the two of them as courtiers were even more low-minded, constantly saluting Gonggong Li with wine. Gonggong Li also did not refuse to come, cup after cup.
"Father-in-law Li came from afar, hard work, this sixth glass of wine, just respect Father-in-law Li to look up to me. The reason that the rosacea prime minister came up with was really not very clever, and I don't know if he was too lazy to think of a better reason or if he really couldn't think of a better reason.
"Gonggong Li, this cup is in the next thirty years to pay tribute to you. Yu Shi Zhongcheng stood up with a smile and raised his glass and said, this reason is good, Gonggong Li is not young, if he can really live for another thirty years, it will be an absolute longevity, this master Zhongcheng who specializes in picketing really eats by mouth, and Li Gonggong, who said casually, laughed publicly.
The noisy banquet finally ended, and Gonggong Li was arranged to rest in the annex.
Of course, the garden is very large, and Gonggong Li has not lived here once or twice, and he is familiar with the road.
Standing in the courtyard of the other garden, Gonggong Li looked at the two eunuchs and a few guards accompanying him, and said to the guards: "You go and guard the door." ”
The guards were all brought out of the capital and left as ordered.
Gonggong Li breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile and drunkenness on his face gradually faded. "Your Majesty, the true god monarch, everything you say is true!"
The little eunuch next to him said boldly: "What did Your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty said that the prince will definitely continue to talk about Zhishi, you just block him back, and let him not mention it again. Gonggong Li touched the little eunuch's head.
When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately didn't dare to say anything. He is just a little eunuch, thanks to the love of Gonggong Li, take him with him, and he can't say half a sentence that he shouldn't listen to and shouldn't say.
