Chapter 159: The Jade Seal of the Country
It's a bit boring not to have to serve His Majesty the Emperor's cow balls.
He was the only one in the study.
He first sharpened the ink himself, and then squatted on the throne and practiced several words in a regular manner.
The handwriting is not very good, in Sima Wende's words, it is simply unsightly.
But Niu Dandan felt that he wrote quite well this time.
At least there is no more ink on the paper, and the words he writes are quite neat.
Anyway, he didn't want to become a generation of calligraphers, practicing calligraphy, just for a literacy and writing.
Of course, this goal was also set by Sima Wende for Niu Dandan.
Sima Wende told Niu Dandan, even if you are a eunuch, you have to fight for breath and be a eunuch who is not comparable to others.
Niu Dan Dan scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, there is only one manager, but there are a lot of eunuchs, why should I Niu Dan fight for breath?
Sima Wende took a book to him and asked him to read it.
Niu Dan Dan was struggling for a long time, and finally turned around, squatted on the ground and began to cry.
If I can afford to read and read, do I still need to be a eunuch in the palace?
Sima Wende raised his foot and kicked the little buttocks of the cow.
The crying cow Dandan also honestly went to literacy and practice.
In fact, he knew in his heart that His Majesty was doing this for his good.
At present, he already knows nearly 100 words.
Niu Dan Dan wrote the word "cow" on the paper one by one, then took a deep breath, held his breath and concentrated, clenched the pen in his hand and slowly drew a circle behind the word "cow".
Niu Dan Dan was very satisfied that he drew the first circle, like an egg.
Niu Dan Dan raised his arm, rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his hand, took a light breath, and put down the pen again.
I don't know why, the pen that I didn't feel any weight in my hand suddenly became heavy, this time it was heavy, this circle was drawn slowly, and seeing that the tip of the pen was about to leave a huge ink spot on the paper, Niu Dandan's heart was anxious, and he gritted his teeth and increased his strength.
Unexpectedly, this one seemed to disobey the call and limped out.
Niu Dan was so angry that he was about to drop the pen in his hand to the ground, but as soon as he remembered that this was a royal thing, he glared at the pen in his hand again and threw it into the pen wash.
He pinched the corner of the paper with both hands, gently picked up the words he had just written, pursed his lips and blew a few times, and then took a good look at it, and suddenly felt that it was not as good as he had just seen.
Especially the one that was signed, I couldn't see it.
The last circle, Shengsheng made himself paint a melon seed shape.
He originally wanted to give Sima Wende to invite credit, but now he feels that he can't do it.
As soon as he clasped his hands together, he was about to crush it and try to rewrite it, but when he thought that he was angry with the pen, how could he use it again?
Ugly is ugly, after all, it was his own writing, so he threw it away, and he was a little reluctant.
If there is no difference in the front, how can you see that you will be good in the future?
Niu Dan Dan always remembered what His Majesty the Emperor said to him in his heart.
Even if today's words are only a little better than yesterday's, that is your success.
Niu Dandan's requirements are not high, he thinks that this little bit is good, he can still do it.
Looking at the pen in the pen wash again, Niu Dan Dan felt that he was no longer so angry with it.
Jumping from the throne, he carefully washed the pen and gently hung it on the pen stand, breathing a sigh of relief.
He has already set a goal in his heart to practice calligraphy tomorrow.
His Majesty the Emperor still did not return to the Imperial Study, and he decided to go to His Majesty's dormitory to have a look.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he saw a little eunuch hurrying past him.
As soon as he saw that he was still an acquaintance, he grabbed the little eunuch's arm and asked, "Gonggong Hong, the pace is so urgent, but is there something wrong?"
When Gonggong Hong saw that the person who pulled him was Niu Dandan, he hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Dan Gonggong, don't you know? The Queen Mother's bedroom is out of water, and I heard that the fire is not small, and the eunuchs in the palace are in a hurry to rush over there." ”
"Walking on the water?"
Niu Dandan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What kind of water, fire, what's the matter? What are you going to do?
Father-in-law Hong slapped his forehead worriedly, and said to Niu Dandan: "My father-in-law, walking the water is a fire, the queen mother's bedroom is on fire, I heard that the fire is very big." ”
After speaking, he took a few steps back, pointed in the direction of the Queen Mother's dormitory, and said, "Look, just over there, isn't it all smoke?"
Niu Dan Dan looked in the direction of Gonggong Hong's finger, and sure enough, he saw billowing smoke.
He was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he ran in the direction of the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Gonggong Hong was stunned for a moment, hurriedly raised his feet and chased forward, shouting as he ran: "Father-in-law, what are you anxious about? What about so many eunuchs in the palace? ”
In the eyes of Gonggong Hong, the father-in-law in front of him will definitely be a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor in the future, and he just wants to take this opportunity to make friends.
Fortunately, Niu Dan was relatively fat, and after running for dozens of feet, he was a little exhausted, his steps slowed down, and his breathing began to become heavy.
Gonggong Hong finally caught up with Niu Dandan, pressed Niu Dandan's shoulder, crossed his waist and gasped and said: "I said Dan Gonggong, what kind of hurry are you, the emperor is really not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, the fire is burning like that, what's the use of you running over?"
After speaking, he looked around, and saw that there was no one, so he whispered: "It's okay to pretend, why are you still serious?"
After taking a few breaths, Niu Dandan felt better, looked at Gonggong Hong and puzzled: "What is true or not?
Gonggong Hong showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said to Niu Dandan: "Father-in-law, you are also the one who serves Your Majesty, why don't you even understand this truth? ”
Then he glanced left and right and asked, "Why don't you go to serve Your Majesty, what are you making a fuss about?" Could it be that Gong Mink Temple transferred you away from Your Majesty?"
Niu Dandan shook his head and said, "No." ”
Thinking of the identity of Father-in-law Hong, he said with an anxious look: "Father-in-law Hong, have you ever seen Your Majesty?"
Gonggong Hong smiled and said: "Father-in-law, aren't you joking with me? I'm just a little eunuch on the queen's side, where can I see Your Majesty?"
Slapped Niu Dandan's arm with his elbow, and he whispered: "It's been a long time since our majesty went to sleep with the queen's mother, and you don't know!"
Niu Dandan stomped his feet, and began to run in the direction of the Queen Mother's dormitory, muttering as he ran: "No, it's impossible, Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and it will be fine." ”
He had only run a few steps, but he saw Gong Mink Temple walking briskly from the opposite side of him.
Niu Dan Dan and Hong Gonggong stopped walking.
After the palace man approached, he ignored Gonggong Hong, who saluted him, but pulled Niu Dandan's arm and said, "Go, follow me!"
The strength of Gong Juren's hands was a little strong, and Niu Dan felt that his arms were about to be cut off by him.
Niu Dandan, who dared to cry in front of the emperor, didn't dare to make any movement, just walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the pace of the palace people.
Gong Juren let go of his hand, looked at Niu Dandan and said, "Don't ask anything, knowing too much will not do you any good, do you know?"
Niu Dandan, who originally wanted to ask His Majesty where the people were, bit his lip and nodded.
After walking a few steps, the palace man asked, "After Your Majesty left today, has anyone ever been to the imperial study?"
Niu Dan shook his head and said, "It's just me, and no one has come." ”
Gong Juren nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go to the imperial study with me." ”
Niu Dandan nodded.
Seeing that the palace was fine, Niu Dandan's heart was not so anxious, presumably His Majesty must be fine.
The two of them came to the door of the imperial study.
Gong Juren pushed the door in, and then said to Niu Dandan: "You come in too, close the door!"
Cow Egg Egg did so.
After entering the imperial study, the palace people went straight to the bookcase, looked carefully, looked up at Niu Dandan and asked, "Where did you go?"
Niu Dandan, who closed the door and walked over, asked, "What?"
Gong Juren frowned, pointed to the desk and said, "Where is the box here?"
Niu Dan thought about it, slapped his forehead and said, "You mean that box, Master Gong, you wait for me to get it for you!"
After speaking, he turned around and ran to the couch, took out a delicate sandalwood square box from under the Go table, held it up in front of Gong Juren and said, "Gong Daren, is this what you said?"
Gong Juren hurriedly stepped forward, but the wooden box was opened, and he grabbed something from it, looked at the words under his eyes, put it into the box again, nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Then he took out a piece of square cloth from his arms, wrapped the wooden box, carried it on his body, and tied a knot with his hands.
Niu Dan thought for a while and asked, "Just took it away?"
Gong Juren chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically, "But you only know what this is?"
Niu Dandan shook his head and said: "I asked Your Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't tell me, he just said that this thing is unknown, and many people have lost their lives because of this thing throughout the ages." ”
Gong Juren was stunned for a moment, and then sighed and said: "What Your Majesty said is true, this thing is indeed unknown!"
Niu Dan looked at the package on Gong Juren's body and asked in a low voice, "Lord Gong, then you took it away to suppress it?"
Gong Juren rubbed Niu Dandan's head and smiled: "I'll go find someone who can suppress this thing, and if a virtuous person gets this thing, this thing will no longer be an ominous thing." ”
Niu Dan Dan scratched his head, what Gong Juren said, he didn't understand a little, but he understood a little, so he raised his head and asked, "Then you found that person?"
Gong Juren was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe!"
At this time, Niu Dandan asked in a low voice: "Lord Gong, did Your Majesty order you to take this box? What about Your Majesty? I heard that the Queen Mother's bedroom is on fire, Your Majesty and he ......?"
The sound of the cow balls is getting quieter and quieter.
Because the palace juren's gaze at him became colder and colder.
It was so cold that he couldn't open his mouth a little.
Gong Juren glanced at the direction of the door, took out an object from his arms, handed it to Niu Dandan, and said in a low voice: "This is the waist card in my room, you put it away, and after dark, you take the waist card to my room to stay, remember, don't forget to bring some food." ”
Niu Dan was a little scared and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
Gong Juren glared.
Niu Dan was frightened and took the key into his arms.
Gong Juren whispered: "Remember, if there is an accident, you will say that you stole this waist card, remember?"
Tears rolled in his eyes, and Niu Dan gritted his teeth and nodded.
Gong Juren glanced at the cow balls with his mouth high, slapped him on the face, and scolded: "You can't do this thing? What are you going to eat? Get out of the palace tomorrow for Ben Mink Temple!"
Niu Dan couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears kept flowing down, but he didn't dare to make a sound, just sobbing quietly.
Gong Juren ignored Niu Dan Dan and turned to leave the imperial study.
Niu Dandan, who had been crying for a while, wiped his tears and snot with his sleeve, and then took out the waist card of the palace man from his arms, looked at it carefully, scratched his head, but couldn't understand why this palace master would arrange it like this.
The slap just now sounded loud, but it didn't hurt much when it hit him in the face.
He was suddenly frightened.
He was the only one in the huge imperial study.
He was worried about His Majesty's safety, but he didn't know what to do.
He was just a little eunuch, a little eunuch who only knew dozens of words.
In terms of age, he is still just a child.
He lied to Gong Mink Temple, and he naturally knew what was in that wooden box.
But what he said to Gong Mink Temple was true, and Sima Wende really said those words to him.
Sima Wende also said, what is the longevity of Yongchang? Even if it is Yongchang, how can it not even pass the second generation?
Jokes are all jokes, but people in the world regard this thing as a symbol of imperial power.
Sima Wende actually knew that his ancestor was able to win the support of everyone back then, because his ancestor Sima Chonghuo was the first to obtain this thing, so as to command the world and create the Great Jin Dynasty.
And he really wanted to give away this hot potato.
Sima Wende also said to Niu Dan that if someone dared to ask for this thing, he would dare to give it away.
So when Gong Mink Temple wanted to take this thing, Niu Dan Dan took out the box without hesitation.
Besides, even if he doesn't take it out, Gong Mink Temple will find it.
The stomach made a rumbling sound, Niu Dan rubbed his round belly, took out the sign given to him by the Gong Mink Temple from his arms, thought about it, and walked out.
——————————
Sima Wende, who was wet all over, turned his head to look at Chen Fangzao and said, "Mr. Chen, why are only my clothes so wet?"
Chen Fangzao pointed at Sima Ruolan, who was still unconscious, and said, "If it weren't for her, I could carry you, and you wouldn't have to escape like that." ”
After all, the fire in the Queen Mother's bedroom was too big, and in order to avoid being discovered, Chen Fangzao fled with Sima Wende in the direction where the smoke was the highest.
He was right, if there was no Sima Ruolan and only one Sima Wende, he would easily escape, and then find a roof, lie on it, and wait until it gets dark.
Sima Ruolan's appearance interrupted all his plans.
In the process of escaping, Sima Ruolan woke up once, but before she could speak, she was knocked unconscious by Chen Fangzao.
Sima Wende was draped in a wet quilt and was kicked out by Chen Fangzao.
Sima Wende, who was tightly wrapped, was unscathed except for a little meaty and vegetable.
Chen Fangzao rounded the wet quilt in his hand with one hand, and pressed Sima Ruolan on his shoulder with the other hand and rushed out against the fire.
After going out, he took Sima Wende and ran for more than ten zhang, then flew onto a roof, and after putting Sima Ruolan away, he jumped off the roof and took Sima Wende on the roof.
There was also a lot of smoke on the roof, but it was nothing compared to the Queen Mother's bedroom, which was flooded by fire.
It's also thanks to so much smoke.
Sima Wende took a few breaths and said, "Mr. Chen, there are many people here, let's hide in another place!"
Chen Fangzao took out a water bladder from his arms and poured it and said: "It is not appropriate to act rashly now, we are close to the roof, and with the cover of smoke, no one should be able to find us." ”
He turned his head to look at Sima Ruolan, and said with a wry smile: "Take you two away, my majesty, do you think that I can fly, even if I can fly, I will be shot down by arrows." ”
Sima Wende sneezed twice.
Chen Fangzao handed over the water bladder in his hand and said, "It's wine in it, take a sip, it can be warmer!"
Sima Wende took the water bladder and hesitated.
Chen Fangzao glared at Sima Wende and said, "What, dislike me?"
Sima Wende smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen, I don't dislike you, it's just, it's just ...... Alas~ You'll have to get me used to it!"
Chen Fangzao grinned and said, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will have to adapt to a lot of things in the future." ”
Sima Wende sighed lightly, turned sideways, gently wiped the mouth of the water bladder with his sleeve, leaned his neck, but did not put it to his mouth, but poured a small sip of wine out of the air.
"Ahem, ahem~"
The wine was drunk, but Sima Wende was choked enough.
Stretching out his hand to wipe his mouth, Sima Wende handed the water bladder back and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will try to adapt in the future." ”
Chen Fangzao took the water bladder, chuckled and said, "If Your Majesty wants to adapt, this first step is to change the way you speak, don't always be me, I'm here." ”
Sima Wende smiled and did not speak.
Chen Fangzao pointed at Sima Ruolan and said: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has to be handed over to you, if she wakes up, you must not let her lose control of her emotions, I can't knock her out again." ”
Sima Wende nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I ...... I get it!"
Chen Fangzao looked up at the sky and said, "You and Your Highness are waiting here not to move, I'll go get some food and come back!"
Sima Wende was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, don't leave me...... Uh, it's me!"
Chen Fangzao smiled and said: "Don't panic, I'll be back soon, the sun is in full bloom right now, you can take this opportunity to dry your clothes." By the way, you dragged your coat, I'll bring you another piece of clothing later!"
Sima Wende looked down at his dragon robe, touched it lightly, then took it off, handed it to Chen Fangzao and said, "Right now, it's really not suitable for me to wear this!"
Chen Fang had already taken the dragon robe, and the figure flashed, and then disappeared in front of Sima Wende's eyes.
——————————
Xiangguo Mansion, inside the main hall.
Yuan Shixin sat on the main seat of the main hall and tasted the fragrant tea.
On the table beside him, there was a wooden box.
There was also a person in the hall, who was also drinking tea.
This person was wearing a dark purple eight-shuttle silk brocade robe, with a dark olive green dragon and phoenix pattern wide belt around his waist, and a white jade double fish jade pendant hanging from his waist.
Gestures, full of wealth.
If the adults outside the door saw it, they would be surprised.
Because this person is Zhao Li, who was ousted by the national teacher Huo Xingwei.
Yuan Shixin put down the teacup, looked up at the middle-aged man who was not confused, and chuckled: "How is it?
Zhao Li smiled slightly, stood up and saluted: "Zhao is just a grass man at the moment, how dare he be called a face in front of Lord Xiangguo?"
Yuan Shixin laughed a few times, and then said proudly: "I said that you are, you can be!"
Zhao Li was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to Yuan Shixin and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Yuan Shixin looked at the Pisces jade pendant on Zhao Li's waist, picked up the teacup, played with it a few times in his hand and said, "Zhao Li, haven't you ever thought about why you were just removed from the phase and didn't suffer other punishments?"
Zhao Li's eyes shrank, and then his face was as usual, he took a sip of the teacup and said, "Good tea, good tea, Zhao hasn't drunk such good tea for a long time." ”
Yuan Shixin chuckled, but didn't say anything.
The corners of Zhao Li's mouth moved slightly, then leaned back in the chair, looked at Yuan Shixin and said, "Lord Xiangguo, the collapse of the stargazing platform is already known to everyone, and it doesn't matter where the National Teacher is. ”
Yuan Shixin bowed his head slightly and said: "You are right, he finally chose to leave, the old man has been with him in Luoyue City for thirteen years, and he finally gave the old man this opportunity." ”
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Then Zhao wants to congratulate Xiangguo, oh, no, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After all, his ass didn't go up.
Yuan Shixin raised his eyes and said, "What's the matter, you don't believe that the old man can do it?"
Zhao Yu shook his head slightly and said: "No, I believe very much, after you led the army to Yuzhou, I knew that sooner or later, there would be such a day, and your Yuan clan would ascend to the big treasure." ”
Yuan Shixin didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Yu quietly.
Zhao Yu continued: "But what about your Yuan clan's ascending to the Great Treasure? My Great Jin is not only Yu and Yang, even if you hold the jade seal of the country, and the other kings do not obey your orders, then they can only laugh and be generous." ”
Yuan Shixin stood up, walked to Zhao Li's side, and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you that I, Yuan Shixin, don't fight unprepared battles." ”
Zhao Li stood up, stared at Yuan Shixin and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Yuan Shixin chuckled and said, "I'll give you the phase, but you have to give me the silver!"
Zhao Li bowed his head and was silent.
Yuan Shixin snorted lightly and said, "Zhao Li, there are some old accounts, but I don't want to turn them over!"
Zhao Li was taken aback, then knelt down and bowed his head and said, "Minister, I am willing!"
Yuan Shixin picked up Zhao Yu and said: "Money is something outside the body, and when you are in the phase again, can't some silver still be earned?"
Zhao Yu bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing mercy to your subordinates back then!"
He finally figured it out.
But he didn't understand why Huo Xingwei would agree to Yuan Shixin's doing.
At this time, the chief housekeeper of Xiangguo's Mansion came in and said, "Xiangye, those people outside the door have been refusing to leave, what do you say to do?"
——————
Fu Ren lay on the ground for a while, feeling a little cold, so he sat up and rubbed his back and buttocks.
Everyone who came up took a step back in unison, and looked at Fu Ren who was grinning in pain with a suspicious face.
Someone asked, "Master Fu, are you okay?"
Fu Ren glanced at the man dissatisfied, frowned, and said, "Lord Zhou, how can you speak? I've been smashed like this, can I still call it okay?"
After saying that, he began to scream "oops, oops".
Ying Gu was choked enough by the sentence "kill you", and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, pointing at Cao Ning and holding back a sentence for a long time, "Rude!"
Cao Ning didn't even look at Ying Gu.
At this time, the door of Xiangguo's Mansion opened, and the chief butler walked out with his chest puffed.
Seeing Cao Ning standing with his sword in front of the door, he hurriedly lowered his head and smiled: "It turns out that General Cao has arrived, please come in quickly!"
After speaking, he turned around and said to the family in the door: "Go and take General Cao to see Xiangye." ”
Then he smiled at Cao Ning and said: "General Cao, it's too noisy in front of the door, Xiangye ordered me to deal with it, please come in first!"
Cao Ning nodded and stepped in.
When everyone saw it, the situation seemed to be a little wrong, why was Cao Ning invited into the mansion? Isn't he a member of the national teacher?
The chief butler stood still in front of the door, looked at everyone and said, "Your Excellency, please go back, Lord Xiangguo asked the old man to bring a message to your lords." ”
Ying Gu got closer, and saluted slightly: "Dare to ask Lord Xiangguo what he commands?"
The chief butler glanced at Fu Ren who was "oops" over there, frowned, and then asked, "Who is this? Why is there any noise here?"
Ying Gu hurriedly said: "This person is an editor of my Hanlin Academy, named Fu Ren, just now he accidentally fell and injured his muscles and bones, and the pain was unbearable for a while, but it disturbed the peace of Xiangye. ”
Ying Gu had already seen that the big butler had a displeased look on his face, and Cao Ning had been invited into the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and things didn't seem to be quite what they thought.
It seems that the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't need their group of literati at all.
The chief butler no longer looked at Fu Ren, and said loudly to everyone: "Xiangye said, if you don't have a good brain, you should obediently obey orders, or else you ......."
The butler snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves, and turned to enter the door.
Everyone looked at each other, and someone looked at Advisor Ying and said, "Lord Ying, you are a great virtue, what do you mean by Lord Xiangguo?"
Ying Gu's expression was a little gloomy, and he waved his hand and said: "Rank, let's all go back, we are all useless readers, Lord Xiangguo doesn't need us, let's go, don't go, but it's disobedience!"
Fu Ren got up from the ground, hurriedly grabbed Ying Gu's arm and whispered, "My lord, do you mean that we won't have a good life in the future?"
Ying Gu smiled bitterly: "Alas, I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have thought of it a long time ago, the old man originally wanted to take you people to show loyalty to our future new emperor and write a few more splendid articles, but the old man was wrong, the mistake was outrageous, in his eyes, there was never any of us people, Cao Ning was right, the old man's book, all read to the dog." ”
Fu Ren was stunned, could it be that he was beaten for nothing?
Ying Gu walked to the carriage and arched his hand to the people behind him: "My lord, let's touch the spear more in the future, the old man is old, but he can't carry it, it's time to tell the old!"
After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.
——————————
After Cao Ning entered the main hall, he saluted Yuan Shixin and his entourage: "I've seen Lord Xiangguo!"
Then his eyes fell on Zhao Li.
This man is really here.
Cao Ning once asked Huo Xingwei why he didn't kill Zhao Li.
Huo Xingwei just shook his head, and then told him that these things are not what a national teacher should do.
Yuan Shixin stood up, stared at Cao Ning for a moment and said, "I want to hear your thoughts!"
Cao Ning said in a deep voice: "The last general is only loyal to the emperor!"
Yuan Shixin was silent for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, it's good to be loyal to the emperor, Cao Ning, what do you think this is?"
After speaking, he threw the wooden box on the table to Cao Ning!
