Chapter 31: Under the Wall
The capital of plastic Yang, known as the wall. Taken from the founding emperor Xiao Xiao, one said that after he laid down the country, he did not regard himself as the emperor, but was more commoner, and personally built the Kyoto city wall together with the people; On the other hand, this Kyoto is as hard as iron, and non-fierce birds cannot enter.
This is also the most legendary legend and the most landmark of Suyang.
Outside the walled city, there are officials from the Honglu Temple waiting there. They have already received the order, today is the day when Li Yunshui enters Beijing, and they are specially here to greet them, after all, there are still a lot of processes to go behind, and these really need to be guided by people from the Ministry of Rites.
A carriage stopped outside the Owl Wall City, and Li Yunshui lifted the curtain from a distance and saw a group of people waiting. However, he didn't get out of the car right away, and just stopped at the door like that.
Until the official shouted softly below: "Lord Li, Li Xu, the young secretary of the Honglu Temple, has been ordered by the emperor to wait here." ”
Li Yunshui slowly got out of the car, didn't pay attention to Li Xu and the others, and only looked up at the wall.
The weather of this capital is indeed different from that of Jiangnan, not to mention the high city walls, just to say that the people who walk back and forth, all of them have a spiritual look on their faces, faintly revealing pride.
Of course, Li Xu's title had already reached their ears, which made them once again convinced that the emperor had found a young man to be the prime minister of this plastic yang.
This matter has already been rumored, and now that I really see it with my own eyes, I can't help but be excited, and there are many discussions from time to time.
"Look, this is the new Prime Minister Li Yunshui."
"Even if he can be prime minister? It's clearly a milky little hairy child! ”
"This world is really strange, a white dress can be a face, so what books do you read? Let's go to the rivers and lakes! ”
The crowd was ignited by these words and talked about it, and for a while, more and more people joined in, and it was about to form a sensationalism.
When Li Xu saw this scene, he looked at Li Yunshui's calm appearance next to him, and couldn't help but feel bitter, so he hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Prime Minister, let's go, otherwise ......"
"No hurry, wait."
How did Li Xu know the medicine in Li Yun's water hyacinth? immediately looked embarrassed and hesitated, but when Li Yunshui saw him like this, he was still unmoved, as if he was really waiting for someone.
At this time, there were more and more crowds, and they were already blocking the door, and the scene was about to be uncontrollable.
"Prime Minister Li Cheng is calm, I don't know if he is really calm, or is he pretending?"
There was a loud voice from afar, and it was sharp and high, and it passed through the crowd and reached everyone's ears. So, everyone turned their heads and saw a large group of young men dressed in white, led by an equally young man, slowly walking over.
The man had a gourd face, young but old-fashioned, obviously it was early winter, but he was holding a fan and swaying slowly.
Li Xu immediately understood, so beside Li Yunshui, he lowered his voice: "Master Li, this person is today's ...... Prime Minister Jian Mingru's son Jian Shaoyang is currently the supervisor of the country. ”
Li Yunshui glanced at Jian Shaoyang, who was about to walk in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Jian Da Shao, you just treat me as a strong insider!" ”
As soon as Jian Shaoyang heard Li Yunshui's name for him, he was immediately unhappy, he was also the supervisor of the Guozijian anyway, a serious Jinshi background, and he was also a court official from the sixth grade, how could he expect that a sentence of "Da Shao" would send him away, how could this be?
His face was cloudy, staring at Li Yunshui, and said viciously: "Li Yunshui, do you know what kind of official position the prime minister is?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the young men in white behind Jian Shaoyang laughed at them.
"A country man, what do you know?"
"I see, he doesn't even know how to write a concerto!"
Jian Shaoyang saw Li Yunshui's stunned appearance, and listened to everyone's ridicule, immediately felt stable, stretched out the folding fan in his hand, and said triumphantly: "Prime Minister, that is the head of the hundred officials, the head of the civil officials, not to mention the champion Tanhua, no matter how bad it is, it must be a Jinshi, otherwise how can you lead a hundred officials?" ”
"Yes, like this, the villagers can be prime ministers, I am the first to disagree!"
"Oh, this kid is stupid, it is estimated that he will go back to Jiangnan in the near future! Hahaha"
Li Yunshui seemed to turn a blind eye to these ridicules, smiled slightly, and stepped forward, his voice was still warm, but it was so undeniable: "Jian Dashao, I don't understand what kind of official position the prime minister is." However, I seem to know that you, the so-called Guozi Prison Supervisor, have to kneel down when you see the prime minister, which is the most basic etiquette. ”
"You have read poetry and books to your heart's content, and you don't even understand these etiquettes, I think the level of this country is only like this!"
Jian Shaoyang heard this, how to make it? Immediately furious: "Bold! What kind of prime minister are you? My father is still here! Come, beat him until he kneels down to me!" ”
Immediately, a few strong people came out of the group of white-clothed soldiers, and they were about to rush towards Li Yunshui.
Li Yunshui slowly stretched out his hand into his arms, took out a yellow scroll from it, and scolded: "Stop, the holy purpose is this, which of you dares to make a mistake?" ”
The young people led by Jian Shaoyang, when they saw the holy decree at this time, where did they dare to make a mistake? Immediately, you look at me, I look at you, and they look at each other.
"Wait, don't you kneel yet?" Li Yunshui had a stronger smile on his face, and decided to beat the water dog.
Even if Jian Shaoyang is no longer reconciled, but the holy decree is in front of him, how dare he say anything? So, I had to comfort myself and the others, and said unwillingly, "We are kneeling to the emperor, not to you!" ”
Immediately, as soon as your legs are bent, you have to kneel down.
Li Yunshui stepped forward, slapped Jian Shaoyang in the face, and said with a smile: "You kneel to the emperor, of course this is right." But I, the prime minister, was sealed by the emperor, and you have to kneel! ”
Jian Shaoyang originally planned to kneel, but he was slapped at this time, where can he stand up? He immediately knelt down, shouting incessantly, ready to stand up and fight back.
"Prime Minister Li Cheng's official authority is really good!" A soft female voice came, and everyone followed the voice, and a girl dressed in yellow with beautiful eyebrows walked over.
Jian Shaoyang saw that he was already humiliated, and when he saw a woman speaking for him, he was unhappy at the moment, and he forgot the pain on his face for a while, stood up, and frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”
The woman didn't care about Jian Shaoyang's scolding, she came straight to Li Yunshui, bowed a thousand blessings, and looked directly at Li Yunshui: "Prime Minister Li, I am the little girl of the Jian family, the eldest brother is not sensible, I have caused you trouble, I will compensate you on his behalf, please forgive me!" ”
After that, it was another blessing, and without waiting for Li Yunshui to say anything, he said: "It's just that Master Li, your new official took office to set the fire, but you can burn this fire to a petty official, and people say that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and what you do is indeed not the style of the prime minister!" ”
"What's more, my father is still the prime minister, and he hasn't retired yet, why are you so aggressive?"
What a powerful woman, this mouth is really like a knife, Li Yunshui still has that faint smile on his face, and the carefree on one side is a child of the rivers and lakes, have you ever seen such an unreasonable woman? So, he defended: "Jian Ruyan, do you understand the truth of the matter? I don't know anything, what are you talking about? ”
Unexpectedly, he didn't answer, which made Wu Wu feel unhappy for a while.
"Girl, you're right, I'm really aggressive. Do you want to take another look at the Holy Purpose? Li Yunshui still had a smile on his face, but he was not forgiving in and out of his words, and he was still as strong as he was when he was: "Today, this Jian Shaoyang, oh, by the way, and these dogs behind him, really want to kneel down for me." ”
In his eyes, there was a divine light of extreme anger and surprise, and he secretly said in his heart: This Li Yunshui can worship the prime minister, and he does have unusual courage!
As soon as Li Yunshui's voice fell, he didn't wait for the people around him to feel anything, and gave Wuwu a look, and the latter stepped forward and kicked on the leg and stomach of Jian Shaoyang, who originally stood up, and suddenly knelt down again.
No matter how much of Jian Shaoyang's face is unwilling and resentful, where is the worry-free opponent? I had to shout indiscriminately.
Seeing this, Li Yunshui raised the holy decree in his hand, and the whole audience knelt down.
This hand surprised the people present, and also shocked Li Xu, Jian Ruyan and others, secretly saying that this is a strong person, and in the future, you really have to be very careful.
And where does Li Yunshui care about these at this time, he immediately took the worry-free hand and said to Li Xu: "I am a mountain village man, and I don't understand the rules, so I will ask Master Li to lead the way." ”
Li Xu had beads of sweat on his forehead, and immediately bowed down in a proper manner, took Li Yunshui, and walked away from the crowd.
Jian Ruyan looked at Li Yunshui's back, then looked at Jian Shaoyang with an angry face, and bit his lip in a daze.
In Suyang, everything must be done in accordance with the etiquette system.
For example, the new prime minister Li Yunshui has to go to the palace of the royal gift first, and after bathing and changing clothes, he has to fast for three days before he can enter the palace to face the saint.
So, Li Yunshui was taken by Li Xu to a courtyard called "Xiao Yuan" as a temporary place to stay.
That Xiao Yuan is not small at all, there are pavilions and pavilions inside, surrounded by rockeries, and a group of palace ladies come in and out, which is really magnificent.
According to Li Xu, this Xiao Yuan was originally a royal garden, and the emperor would come here every year to stay. It is said that this garden was built because the emperor felt that the palace was too big and not as warm as ordinary people, so he imitated the rich businessmen of the people and built this courtyard.
On his birthday every year, the emperor brings his concubines and sons to a party here, in order to experience the joy of ordinary people.
Of course, Li Xu had his own guess in his heart, but he didn't say it, but he said meaningfully: "Lord Li, the emperor really values you very much!" ”
Li Yunshui looked indifferent and did not respond.
"Ahh Sister, good sister, you're finally back! I miss you so much! ”
Before Li Yunshui and Wuwu had finished looking at the royal garden, a stupid voice came, Li Yunshui looked back, but saw a gorgeously dressed young man rushing from outside.
The man did look very handsome, but his face was stupid, and there was even a silk scarf hanging from his chest with a pin, and a large wet piece was seen in front of him, apparently to wipe his saliva.
"Xiao Shenshen, I see you again, how are you doing? Do you miss your sister? Don't wait for Li Yunshui to react, worry-free is very enthusiastic, and immediately hugged this person and touched his head, it was really like a sister to her brother.
Seeing this, Li Xu quickly knelt down, and echoed in his mouth: "Minister Li Xu, I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" ”
After finishing speaking, he found Li Yunshui, who was still standing on the side, and couldn't help but gently pull Li Yunshui with his hand. Li Yunshui understood, immediately bowed his hand, bent over, and said, "I've seen the second prince." ”
Of course, this style can't escape the entourage of the second prince, and one of the leading grandmothers has a plain face, and said sharply: "Boldly Diao Min, when you see the second prince, don't you kneel?" ”
The sweat on Li Xu's forehead came out again, and he trembled and explained for Li Yunshu: "Mama Wu, this is Li Yunshui, the prime minister of the emperor, I just came here today, there are some things I haven't told him yet, those who don't know are not guilty, please ...... Mama"
Li Xu didn't finish speaking, but he saw the second prince pointing at Li Yunshui, and said with a smile to Wuwumei: "Sister, this is the big stupid pig you said, right?" ”
Wu Wuqiao blushed, nodded, and said to Li Yunshui: "Yunshui, this is the one I said in my previous letter to you and you...... Well, the second prince, we are very good in the capital! ”
After that, he said to the second prince: "Shen Shen, this is you...... Brother-in-law. ”
When the second prince Xiao Shen heard this, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly looked overjoyed, his face changed, he jumped up and ran up, hugged Li Yunshui enthusiastically, kissed and held hands, and saliva made Li Yunshui's face and body.
Li Yunshui's expression was as usual, but he smiled, and only after Xiao Shendu's enthusiasm had passed, did he say to him: "Second prince, I am in the capital with sorrow, but I want to ask you to take care of it!" ”
When Xiao Shen heard this, his originally happy face suddenly fell, and he said a little unhappily: "It's you, I haven't seen Sister Wu for a long time!" ”
After that, he clenched his fist and hit Li Yunshui a few times.
He was like a child, and after he was relieved, he pulled Li Yunshui again, sat on the ground, and shouted for Li Yunshui to tell him what he had seen in the past few months. Li Yunshui couldn't bear it, so he immediately sat down and carefully told him about the scenery and things in the south of the Yangtze River.
This scene made several people present speechless, but they couldn't stop it.
This night, Xiao Shendu had dinner with the two of them in Xiao Yuan, and in the end he insisted on not leaving, saying that he wanted to sleep with Li Yunshui, the new brother-in-law, and he liked this brother-in-law very much. Of course, this is not in line with the etiquette system, and was dragged away by the old palace maid named Mama Wu.
Wu Wu looked at Xiao Shendu, who disappeared at the door, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "This second prince is also a poor person!" ”
Li Yunshui smiled and said, "You are here in Kyoto, but you have met such a young magnate!" ”
Wuwu glanced at Li Yunshui, and said coquettishly: "What's wrong?" Are you still jealous? ”
"Hahaha, I'd like to be jealous, but...... It seems that the second prince seems to like me more, you say...... Are you jealous? ”
Worry-free pink fist came over, and the two laughed.
At this time, a porter walked briskly and whispered in Li Yunshui's ear: "Lord Li, the third prince is visiting." ”
Li Yunshui couldn't help but sigh, there are really many people who are popular, he just sent away the second prince, and the third prince came.
And these three princes, with Nangong Yi, the entourage last time, I don't know what happened when they came here?
Worry-free somehow, he didn't like the third prince very much, and immediately went back to the room by himself.
Li Yunshui walked to the flower hall where he was entertaining, and as soon as he showed up, he saw the three princes rushing towards him with an arrow, and bowed to Li Yunshui several times, and even shed tears-
"Brother Yunshui, oh no, Lord Li, it's all me who is late, and I am really sorry for you to suffer such humiliation!" These words were full of tears, and he looked heartbroken.
At this time, Nangong Yi behind him had a bitter face, his face was covered with bruises, and his body was tied up with five flowers, so he walked to Li Yunshui sadly.
"Don't kneel yet! You......"
