Chapter 224: Huo Guang Refers to the Deer as a Horse in Public (Ask for Subscription)

No matter how reluctant he is, Le Cheng has to stand up at this moment.

After he saluted Huo Guang suspiciously, he stepped forward, took out a moon cake from the food box on the table, and almost returned to his couch with it.

With this first example, the rest of the courtiers followed suit, also came up, picked up the moon cake, held it in their hands, and returned to their positions.

For a while, all the princes in the hall raised their hands cautiously, like children waiting to be fed, which was quite funny.

Huo Guang picked one up lightly, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and chewed it slowly.

"Well, that's right, this moon cake made by the county official is really good, why don't you taste it?"

"No!"

In the main hall, the sound of rustling soon sounded. It's like a swarm of rats at the table.

The puff pastry of the moon cake has been made with yeast, and it has been fried with heavy oil, and the taste and fragrance are good.

But everyone tastes like chewing wax, and they can't taste the beauty of it. Especially Na Lecheng, the expression on his face was even more funny, as if he was gnawing on the most bitter coptis.

After a while, Huo Guang put down the moon cake in his hand. Everyone immediately stopped talking and put down the moon cakes.

The movements are uniform, and he is the most well-trained officer in Yulin Lang, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it to such a point.

"The old man thinks that the color and taste of this moon cake are good, what do you think?"

"What the general said is very true, and the lower officials also think so." Le Cheng hurriedly answered.

But Huo Guang was noncommittal, just glanced at Le Cheng, and then asked, "What do other people think?" ”

"What the general said is extremely true!"

"The general is naturally the best at eating the best in it."

"The county magistrate trusts the general the most."

……

Everyone either kept silent, or expressed their admiration for Huo Guang, but no one dared to say that this moon cake was delicious.

To say that moon cakes are delicious, that is to say that the Son of Heaven is good.

Today's situation does not seem to be the case.

One kind of courtiers are veterans who have been fighting in the court for a long time, and it is enough to say that I don't know why the general is angry today; I don't know at the moment, don't mess around in the court, maybe one day the whole family will go to prison.

"Well, the princes didn't talk about the most important point, and the old man asked what the taste of this mooncake was?"

This time, everyone changed their rhetoric in unison, and praised the sweetness and deliciousness of this moon cake again and again.

"The skin is soft and the aroma is fragrant, which is worthy of being a delicacy made by the chef of Weiyang Palace."

"Zi said, you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of being fine, Master Confucius will come to life, and he will definitely praise him like this."

……

"The heart filling is the sweetest, which makes people's appetite move!"

The last sentence was said by Le Cheng, and after that, he saw Huo Guang looking at him and immediately closed his mouth.

Did you say something wrong? Why is the general targeting himself today?

"Le Gong, the old man has something to understand, and I want your answer."

"The big and great generals just ask, and the lower officials know everything, and they say everything." Le Cheng said in a bit of a panic.

"Just now, you said that this filling is sweet, but why does the old man think it is salty?"

The other courtiers had already heard the meaning of Huo Guang's words, but Le Cheng was deeply involved in it, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while.

This shrewd Shaofu also asked a little stupidly: "Could it be because there are several kinds of fillings for this moon cake, some sweet and some salty, and the general happened to get the salty one?" ”

"Oh? Does Le Gong really think so? ”

"This—this is nature." Between speaking, the sweat on Le Cheng's head kept dripping down, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that he was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Tell me, is this mooncake sweet or salty?"

"Salty!" Everyone said categorically.

Le Cheng's head exploded with a "buzz".

The words "referring to the deer as a horse" came out of his head.

Such a simple thing, I was actually dizzy and didn't react.

The sweat kept dripping down, and Le Cheng took the moon cake, and he didn't wipe it, and he didn't wipe it.

Extremely embarrassed.

Huo Guang looked at everyone in the hall and nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

"Do you want to take another bite to see if this mooncake is salty?"

Le Cheng hurriedly took a bite, and before he had time to chew, he immediately wiped his mouth and said, "Just now, Xia Guan was stupid, this moon cake is salty, not sweet!" ”

"Le Gong must remember that this bread can be eaten indiscriminately, and words can be spoken indiscriminately, but things cannot be done indiscriminately, especially in the court."

"The general has taught yes, and the subordinate knows." Le Cheng nodded busily.

"I'm afraid you don't know enough, the old man asked you, why didn't the Empress Dowager Shangguan's holy birthday ceremony be held?"

"This, this is the county official told the lower officials to ask the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan told the lower officials not to do it......" Le Cheng wanted to quibble at first, but his voice was getting quieter and quieter.

"There is no trivial matter in the heavenly family, the Holy Birthday Ceremony of the Empress Dowager Shangguan is not her alone, but also a part of this government, why don't you tell the old man in advance." Huo Guang stared at Le Cheng and asked Le Cheng.

"This, this ......" what Le Cheng wanted to say was "such a trivial matter does not need to be reported to the general on weekdays."

But he knew that he couldn't say this sentence at all, so he could only feel like he had been stuck in his throat by a fish bone, at a loss, and his face was red.

Suddenly, in full view of everyone, Le Cheng's usual shrewdness suddenly returned.

At the moment, no matter how much you say, it's all quibbling.

Only admitting mistakes is the key.

After Le Cheng put the moon cakes on a few cases, he walked quickly to the hall and immediately knelt down.

"General, the subordinates are not thinking properly, they should first report this matter to the general, and then the general will decide!"

Le Cheng fell to the ground trembling, not daring to look at Huo Guang.

Most people looked at Le Cheng gloatingly, and they didn't say anything except that they felt lucky.

"Get up, this matter is a trivial matter, after all, it did not cause a big disaster, I hope that Gong Le can be more cautious in the future, so as not to cause a big disaster!"

Le Cheng naturally thanked him for a while, and it wasn't until Huo Guang "persuaded" him several times that he stood up with palpitations and sat back on his couch.

At this point, everyone knows what the Great General has summoned them today.

The general wanted to tell them that there was only the Son of Heaven on the top of this big man, but he Huo Guang was the biggest cloud in the world.

No one wants to cross their own clouds, and they are directly connected to the sky.

This Le Cheng, I'm afraid that he has been dizzy recently, and he actually offended the general in order to please the Son of Heaven.

It's ridiculous and pathetic.

However, everyone's schadenfreude didn't last long, and Huo Guang's words stunned them again.
