Chapter 335: Persuade the monarch not to be suspicious
I didn't feel that it would be a few days after returning to Beijing.
In the past few days, the curriculum between Sanhua teacher and the neighbor students has changed from the surname of the hundred families to the editor-in-chief of children's songs, and has also extended from a single word recognition to sentence comprehension, word choice and sentence formation, and rhyme.
For this reason, the teacher Sanhua hid on the roof and read for several nights, saving a bunch of doubts every night to consult the Taoist, and finally integrated the children's rhyme editor-in-chief, did not lose face in front of the students, maintained the teacher's face and Sanhua Niangniang's brilliant genius cat design, and also gained the surprise and admiration of many students.
At the same time, seeing that it would cost a day to stay in Changjing, Mr. Sanhua was eager to earn money, and urged the students every day, but there was news, but he never got a satisfactory answer.
Under the governance of Chenghuang, the city of Changjing is indeed much more peaceful than it was at the beginning.
But the city god is only within the city walls.
Outside the city walls, it is mainly managed by the god of thunder.
Several demon kings in the north, the most stubborn one was suppressed by Song You, and the rest, such as the border Huangsha King and the Yuezhou White Bull King, were also destroyed successively under the joint cleanup of the Tiangong Thunder Department and the Dou Department, and the long time can be regarded as a period of more than ten years.
The rest of the scattered demons gathered the most in Hezhou, although these demons are not as powerful as the demon king, but there are many of them, different types, if the Thunder Ministry wants to clear them one by one, it will take some time, but they have also been carefully cleaned up by the Taoists. Then the Taoist walked through the northern states, although he did not clean up as carefully as Hezhou, but whenever he met or heard about it, fate arrived, but he would not leave his hand.
In addition, after Shu Yifan entered the Tao with martial arts, he cleaned up Gwangju with the power of one person, and the Taoist people in the north did not know how much work was saved for the Thunder Department and the gods of the Heavenly Palace.
Now it's almost time for them to free their hands from the north, and it is time to take care of the rest of Dayan's place.
As a result, there were far fewer demons making trouble outside the city.
It's just that the border of Dayan is tens of thousands of miles, and the evil demons are like diseases of the human body, which can only be controlled but cannot be cured.
But these days, there are people often wandering around the door.
The Taoist didn't care, but whether it was the Sanhua Niangniang or the swallow on the roof, or the woman next door who was concentrating on studying, they were all alert and keen, these servants couldn't hide it from them, but I don't know if the person behind them had discovered this unusual Taoist who lived in Changjing three years ago, or whether he was attracted by General Chen's attention when he returned to Beijing this time.
A few days later, Changjing turned sunny again.
In the light snow season, someone from the Wu'an Hou Mansion handed over the news early in the morning, saying that the Wu'an Hou would come to visit in the afternoon, which was considered to be a courtesy.
In the afternoon, General Chen came on horseback as promised.
There were still only a few guards, and when they arrived at the door, General Chen entered the house, and the guards all stood outside, and only two people brought things in.
"I hope I didn't disturb Mr., and I brought a pill dragon group to Mr., which Your Majesty personally gave you." General Chen said to Song You, took the gift box from the hand of a person on the left behind him, and handed it to the Taoist, "But Chen is not a person who likes to drink tea, and he can't tell the good from the bad when drinking, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and gave it to Mr." ”
"The general is outside."
Song You was not polite to him.
Immediately, General Chen took two jars of wine from another person behind him, and said to Song You: "Chen is from Zhuyu County, Angzhou, and his hometown is the most famous rice wine, but after joining the army, he rarely drank it, and Chen rarely drank alcohol in the barracks. ”
"I also prepared a table of good dishes for the general."
When Song You saw that he had brought wine, he knew that he didn't know how much depression he had accumulated during this time, but he was in Changjing, but he couldn't find anyone else to talk to, so he had to come here.
The powerful found monks and Taoists to tell that it was the tradition of Dayan, and that they were more familiar and trusted with him than other Taoists.
Sure enough, as soon as Song You invited him to sit down at the table, he listened to him say while opening the wine:
It is said that Chen returned from a big victory this time, and his fame moved the world and the scenery was infinite, but he actually knew his bitterness. In this huge capital, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Chen, except for a few reckless people, not many people dare to visit Chen, Chen does not dare to visit others easily, and even people who are familiar with him in the past do not dare to stay for a long time to visit, for fear of being caught by others, becoming evidence of crime, and affecting others. After thinking about it, only Mr. Lai is not so easy to be suspicious. ”
"Is the general in such a difficult situation?"
"It's okay in the past, this time is special, Your Majesty is old and weak, the princess has just been deposed, the turmoil in the court has not stopped, the princes are all young, even the national teacher is not in Changjing, only a few years ago, when he left, he transferred Yizhou Zhizhou Yu Jianbai back to the capital, and assisted the government with the prime minister, Chen's actions were naturally closely watched by them."
With a bang, General Chen opened the wine.
Pour out two bowls.
It is a slightly white sake with a strong smell of rice.
"At this time, I don't know how many people in the DPRK are worried about Chen and want to get rid of Chen." General Chen shook his head.
Song You remembered that three years ago, the emperor invited him to the palace, and he talked about General Chen, and the emperor at that time was sure that General Chen had no objection, but he didn't know what to do now, so he asked:
"What does Your Majesty think?"
"Your Majesty cares for me." General Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he said this, "At this time, half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are suggesting to Your Majesty to find some reason to get rid of me, and I don't know how many people have suggested that Your Majesty beware of me and not want to be alone with me, but Your Majesty has done the opposite, often inviting me to the palace for a separate meeting, and ordering me to accompany the prince on a trip or hunting." ”
"General, please eat."
"Mr. first, a drink."
General Chen said as he held the wine bowl in both hands, congratulated him from afar, and no matter what he did, he raised his head and drank a bowl.
Song You also took a sip.
I have also heard of the rice wine in Angzhou, I heard that the top grade is only brewed with rice core, at this time I personally saw it, it was really extraordinary, and it was just just served up, and I smelled the rich rice fragrance, and it gave people the feeling that this bowl of wine would be sweet, cool and cool, but when I really drank it, it was different from what I imagined, and most of the taste was still normal wine taste.
General Chen put down the wine bowl, picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up the dishes, seeing that although the dishes on this table were novel and fragrant, he was bored in his heart, and he didn't have much desire to move the chopsticks.
Wine is bowl after bowl.
Although General Chen's expression was as calm as ever, his words were still clear, and his words were still organized, the content of his speech had changed unconsciously, and his drunken intentions could be detected from it.
"Chen is a martial artist, good at marching and fighting, but he is not good at things in the court, but he also has some insight into people's hearts. In Chen's opinion, His Majesty probably trusts me, but it doesn't have much to do with whether he wants to get rid of me. General Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's just that he thinks very highly of himself, he can't live forever, he regards himself as a god, he thinks he can control everything, and he feels that under his hands, no one can turn the wind and waves, so he naturally disdains to attack me." ”
General Chen at this time is quite different from a year ago.
It seems that the year after being recalled to the DPRK was really walking on thin ice.
Song You couldn't help but be silent when he heard it.
It turns out that before the famous ministers and gods in the history books will be removed, they all know about it, but there is no other way, if they don't really rebel, they can only wait for others to control their own destiny.
After talking for a long time, the wine had dried up, and the table was in a mess.
The general, who was invincible on the battlefield and had never been timid, shook his head, brought a smile on his lips, and said with emotion:
"The court is dangerous, and it is better than the battlefield."
At the same time, a figure walked by outside the door.
It seems that he wanted to come to the Taoist, but when he saw the Taoist being entertaining, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned back.
General Chen still couldn't see the drunkenness on his face, but when he saw this, he immediately got up and saluted Song You: "Disturbing Mr. for a long time, let Mr. see and smile, at this time Chen is already happy, since Mr. has a guest, I won't bother much, thank Mr. for entertaining." ”
"I'll send the general."
Song You also got up in a sigh, and saw the figure of the cat walking down from the upstairs, and then glanced at the rice wine in the bowl, and silently, the white rice wine in the bowl suddenly became a lot clearer.
"Just send it to the door, sir."
"It's fine." The Taoist really stopped, only turned his head to look at him, "The general is also counted as an old man, if you want to come to visit the old man, even if you come to the door, there is nothing else, there is a table of food." ”
"Will be bothering again."
The guards outside the door had led the horses over.
General Chen bowed hands to him again, looked at each other for a moment, and then got on his horse and left here.
The Taoist saw him go away, and when he turned his head, he saw the cat jumping lightly on the ground, and suddenly, like an arrow, he jumped on the table, sniffed and sniffed on the table, found the Taoist's wine bowl, and immediately put a paw into the wine bowl.
As if sensing the Taoist's gaze, she maintained this posture and did not move, but turned her head to the side and looked at the Taoist.
Immediately, in front of the Taoist, he hooked his claws, lowered his head and stretched out his tongue, and licked it a few times.
"Hmm......"
The cat smashed its mouth and licked it with its tongue again, and then sat down and looked at the Taoist.
"Why do you want to wash your feet with my wine?"
"It's not footwashing!"
"What's that?"
"Just taste the wine you drink."
"If Sanhua Niangniang wants to taste it, just tell me, I pour a bowl for Sanhua Niangniang alone, why do I have to put my feet into my bowl?"
"You're done anyway, and it's not feet." The cat-sanhua raised its front paws, its paws hooked, looking like a cat's fist position, and she looked down at her paws, "This is the hand." ”
"Anyway, it's on the ground."
"It's just dust."
“……”
"Sanhua Niangniang wants to drink if your wine is the same as Sanhua Niangniang's wine."
"Why?"
"The woman next door said that the wine tastes bitter and spicy, and it will be hot if you drink it, but the wine that Sanhua Niangniang drinks is similar to water."
"That's right."
It turns out that the source is here in Wu Nuxia.
The Taoist shook his head, walked over and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said to the cat at the same time: "Doesn't Sanhua Niangniang know that cats can't eat sweet before they become sperm, and birds can't eat spicy before they become sperm?" ”
"It seems to be oh ......"
The cat looked thoughtful.
"Don't you know that when people eat something that is warm, cats will feel hot when they eat it?"
"It seems to be oh ......"
The cat's eyes widened.
"In that case, how can a cat's mouth be the same as a human?"
"Looks like it!"
The cat looked suddenly enlightened.
"What's more, Sanhua Niangniang is not an ordinary cat, she is a cat god, with vast magical powers and strong mana."
"That's definitely worse!"
"Congratulations to Sanhua Niangniang, she will answer it."
"Sanhua Niangniang is very smart!"
"This is natural."
"This is natural~"
"I am a Taoist priest and a monk, and the monks don't speak, so why should Sanhua Niangniang be suspicious of me?"
"Canopy ......"
The cat jumped off the table, took on a human form, and began to help the Taoist clean up the mess on the table.
Under the guilt, you can be diligent.
