Chapter 65: The Fish Leaps into the Sea (Part I)
On the whole Xuanzhou bud paper with a slight sense of fine-grained, the ink is dripping and uninhibited, and five words are written: "The fish jumps into the sea at this time." ”
Looking at the frame of the entire ink scroll, there should have been the following sentence on the paper, but for some reason, the calligrapher wrote these five words and dropped out of the pen tiredly, and the middle of the last hook of the sea character was white, faintly revealing the slightest unwillingness.
The rigorous temperament of these five ink characters looms, if ordinary people write it, it is good, but in Ning Que's opinion, he doesn't feel that there is anything impressive, especially since he has just seen the true works of the former sages, and naturally feels that the five characters of Yuyue at this time are really quite bad, even if he guesses that this character is written by His Majesty the Emperor, it will not change the perception.
Thinking that he entered the palace today through the name of a scholar, Ning Que's heart moved slightly, and secretly thought that if his hand entered the eyes of the emperor's old man in the future, he would rise all the way, and it would be good to be a courtier who was not popular but was extremely beautiful.
As he thought so, he suddenly heard an angry voice from the back of the imperial study, which was strong and powerful, but because of the distance, he could only hear the words of the cursing man when he was most angry.
"Idiot...... Idiot!...... A bunch of idiots!"
The word idiot was scolded by the man, sonorous and powerful, as thick as a war drum, and crisp as a rock.
Ning Que stood in the imperial study in a daze, listening to the word idiot that seemed to come from outside the sky, and gradually couldn't help but listen to it, feeling very kind in his heart, and secretly thought that he didn't know which master in charge it was, and he actually had his own coquettish feeling when he scolded the idiot.
The Tang Imperial Palace is such a solemn place, even the chief eunuch with great authority does not dare to scold people with such a loud voice, not to mention that the voice of the scolding idiot at this time comes from the council hall.
Ning Que didn't know the distribution of buildings in the palace, and of course he didn't know that the area around the imperial study had always been extremely heavily guarded, and the council hall happened to be very close to the imperial study, so he could hear countless idiots, but others might not be able to hear them.
......
......
In the council hall, the jade pillar is wrapped with a dragon, the golden curtain is embroidered with the goddess scattered flowers, and there is a beautiful woman in palace dress sitting on the left hand of the royal couch, about thirty years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, charming and moderate, extremely gentle, slightly thick lips tightly pursed, and added a hint of perseverance, look at her headdress and phoenix clothes, it is the queen of the Tang Dynasty.
On the left side of the imperial couch sat a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, her eyes were slightly drooping and she was dividing tea with her slender fingers, her beautiful face was matched with this quiet expression, she looked extremely atmospheric and graceful, and her slightly black cheeks were sunburned on the grassland, and now she was white in just a few days, it was Li Yu, the fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty.
In the middle of the queen and the princess, a middle-aged man sat on the couch, his black hair tied back very casually, wearing a very wide robe, his voice was gentle and powerful and unquestionable, and when he occasionally said those two words, his tone would jump up like a floating cloud, and thunder resounded throughout the temple.
On the ground in front of the imperial couch, there were more than a dozen officials kneeling, their heads buried deeply, their bodies trembling slightly, looking extremely ashamed and frightened, and His Royal Highness the Prince and the two old ministers who were qualified to sit also had extremely ugly faces.
The Tang Dynasty has never paid attention to secular rules, even if it is the daily discussion and exchange between monarchs and ministers, courtiers often do not need to kneel and kowtow, only need to bow for a long time, especially in this generation of emperors who are known for their generosity.
However, today, King Kuanren suddenly burst into a thunderous rage, and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty finally realized that His Majesty did not kneel on weekdays because he was unhappy, and when he was unhappy, the council hall became terrifying.
The middle-aged man on the couch was naturally the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the one with the most secular power in the Haotian world. He looked at the ministers kneeling on the cold gold bricks in front of him, and his calm gaze with a hint of mockery slowly brushed over everyone's faces - the governor of the central capital, the protector of the capital, the general of Huaihua, these are all the bosses of the military department, Shangshu Youcheng, Zhongsi Shilang, the old and young masters of the household department, Jing Zhaoyin, Huangmen Shilang, the two statues of Chang'an City, and the younger brother sitting in the chair, as well as those old guys who are not human, how much do they know about this matter?
"A gang can take the river to transport business, can move grain and release the warehouse, why? You are all senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the steward of the government knows how many people are trembling and frightened, why dare Chao Xiaoshu not listen to you? Are you really a group of idiots? Have you never thought about the reason?"
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, looked at his ministers like he was looking at a group of bastard descendants, his right hand stroking the back of his head that was a little painful, and he even had the urge to laugh out loud because of anger and disappointment. He glared at everyone, slapped the case hard, and reprimanded: "You want to see who the backstage of the No. 1 gang in Chang'an is, now that you know it, you know that it is me, do you feel that you have become the biggest idiot in the world!"
"Ichthyosaurus Gang! Ichthyosaurus Gang! You are all full of poetry and books, and you are accustomed to seeing the officials of the wind and rain, but none of you have ever thought of these four words of fish and dragon subdued? If it weren't for what I meant, who would dare to use this name as a gang name in this Chang'an City? I am very disappointed in you, not because you ignore the law and oppress the people, but because you are stupid! Idiot! I haven't understood such a simple thing for so many years, you are not an idiot, who is!"
Chang'an City in the spring rain night chaos, and finally succeeded in forcing out the hole card of Chao Xiaoshu, but this hole card appeared, and suddenly the wind and rain disappeared without a trace, because this hole card is too powerful, so strong that only one sentence is needed, everyone can be defined as an idiot, but the beginning of the autumn after the reckoning.
The ministers kneeling in the palace were aggrieved and sad and didn't know how to speak, silently thinking that over the years, no one had found that the Ichthyosaurus Gang had anything to do with the palace, and besides, you are the indescribable true dragon emperor, the Ichthyosaurus Gang is just a small crucian carp in the ** ditch of Chang'an, with a status difference of thousands of miles, and it is not a world at all, who would have thought that there was a connection between this?
This is like the master in the county government who went to embarrass a small helper in the back kitchen, but in the end, the masters actually found out that this helper was covered by the household book! But the problem is, how can a guy who has a household book cover be a small helper in the county government's back kitchen!
If Chao Xiaoshu is an old acquaintance that you met among the people back then, and the two have a relationship, then how can he have been soaking in the stinky ditch of the rivers and lakes all these years? As long as you say a word, where can the empire not find a four- or five-grade official vacancy for him? Where is this the idiocy of the princes and ministers, this is purely Your Majesty You treat us all as idiots playing with it.
Kneeling on the cold gold bricks and sitting uneasily in the chairs, the powerful ministers of the Tang Dynasty were all complacent and complaining, but no one dared to jump out at this time to argue with the person on the dragon chair.
For these big men of the empire, it is only one thing to win or subdue the old dynasty of Chunfeng Pavilion, but they have encountered the largest mountain in the world, and they know in their hearts that they will inevitably be unlucky, and more importantly, their subordinate deputies are responsible for the specific handling of these matters, and they have used the power of the court and even the military in them, which has already touched the bottom line of His Majesty.
What should I do?
