"Young Master Li, the appearance of a brilliant person, is this how you comfort yourself?" Zhao Pu said with righteous words on his face.

"Presumptuous!Zhao Pu, what is your identity, dare to question the young master like this!" Some strategists around shouted angrily.

Li Dongyang waved his hand, "Don't talk about him like that, at this time, I can still stab the person who made my mistake in the face, which shows that I am upright! I can't make the honest person's heart cold! Zhao Pu, what do you think, just say it." ”

Zhao Pu glanced around, then sat down sullenly.

"Zhao Pu, you came up to speak, and now you sit down again, what's the matter? Or did you drink and coax people just now, and now you're sober?"

"yes. Zhao Pu: If you don't have the ability, don't be blind. ”

The people around sarcastically.

Li Dongyang looked at Zhao Pu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, looking around, and he understood Zhao Pu's intentions.

He waved his hand, "Okay, it's over, I think Zhao Qing is also drunk." Let's continue to drink and don't talk about these hurtful things. After eating, let's go to the Qinglou to charter a field, have a good time, and drive away bad luck. ”

The crowd chimed in. Instead, Zhao Pu sat alone, drinking wine, quietly thinking about what to say later.

Yefu compound.

Ye Xuan walked into the main hall, while Ye Zhenguo was more leisurely, fiddling with the tea set, and there was a pile of loose tea leaves next to him.

After Ye Zhenguo saw Ye Xuan coming, he grinned: "Ye Xuan, come and see the tea made by this king." Take a sip and taste it. ”

After speaking, he handed the teacup to Ye Xuan.

After Ye Xuan took it, he drank it in a big gulp, he didn't taste the tea, he just felt the bitterness in his throat. Not very tasty.

Ye Zhenguo looked at Ye Xuan like this and shook his head. "Waste! Are you drinking tea? Such a big person can't even taste tea!"

Ye Xuan scratched his head and smiled. "It's so bitter. You don't know how to make tea. ”

Ye Zhenguo poured out another cup of tea from the Zijin teapot and handed it to Ye Xuan.

"You taste it again. This time, he put the word "quality" very seriously.

Ye Xuan took a result, tasted it carefully, and then swallowed it in one gulp. "It's still that smell. He thought to himself, but didn't say it. On the contrary, he showed a look of intoxication. looked at Ye Zhenguo with a look of adoration. "Delicious!"

Ye Zhenguo nodded. "Count you kid with taste. There are only two people in the entire Chu State who can let me make tea myself, one is your mother, and the other is you. Others want to drink it, but they haven't had a chance yet. ”

Ye Xuan smiled.

"What did you come to me for today?" Ye Zhenguo said straight to the point. With a smile on his face.

Ye Xuan also said bluntly: "I want to build a temple for Hongrui." Give her a god. ”

Ye Zhenguo was stunned for a moment and put down the tea he was about to drink. He said angrily: "Presumptuous! What did you say? What kind of virtue could she have! The ancestors of the Ye family didn't have a god, so you asked me to seal her as a god! God is so easy to seal? What great feats has she done to benefit the country and the people? What great virtue has touched the heavens and the earth?"

Looking at Ye Zhenguo's angry appearance, Ye Xuan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. This god turned out to be not what Ye Zhenguo said. There are also things that money and quanli can't do.

"Tell the emperor, can he sell your face?" Ye Xuan asked without giving up.

"Fart! This kind of thing is not to mention the current emperor, even if Emperor Taizu comes, it is useless. The gods that are enshrined now are all recognized by all mankind before the statues of gods are established, that is, the emperor has issued a holy decree to enshrine gods, have you ever seen a living god? Those who are canonized as gods are all dead! Can a living person be canonized as a god? It sounds ridiculous! And has Hongrui done any great things to make speeches, meritorious deeds, and establish virtues? No!" Ye Zhenguo retorted. "I went to the emperor today to raise the title of god, and tomorrow the Ye family will be raided! The royal family of Dachu has only established an ancestral hall, and it is limited to the royal family worship, so I will go to mention the god? That is really putting the Ye family on the cusp! The entire civil official group will impeach me to death. ”

Seeing Ye Zhenguo's resoluteness, Ye Xuan felt the difficulty of the matter, the matter of immortals and gods has always been the belief of the human race, and it is true that he has never seen anyone wantonly seal gods, especially the most important point, no one can be sealed alive. Most of those who have been canonized as gods are really dead.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan didn't ask any more questions. Just a little homely. Ye Zhenguo also told Ye Xuan some things about the court and asked him to have a snack.

The Ye family has been in the empire for several generations, and they are still able to stand firm in the turbulent court, and many things are secrets. Ye Zhenguo didn't want to teach it all at once, it was mostly subtle in his usual way.

Finally, Ye Xuan endured sleepiness, and after listening to Ye Zhenguo's nagging, he took a good look at the gap and slipped away directly.

Ye Zhenguo, who was still in the main hall, looked at Ye Xuan who disappeared at the door like a lonely old man. smiled: "It's still the same not to listen to persuasion, when did you touch the nail yourself, so that you can know that what I said to you is right." What I'm telling you is what I've felt for most of my life. Just leave it to fate. ”

After talking about it for so long, he was also tired. For the first time, he felt the restrictions of his old body, he couldn't fight all night like when he was young, and he didn't have the ability to recover quickly, just an old man, all the glory and wealth, all the emotions and material desires slowly faded. I understand the impermanence of the world even more.

All of Ye Xuan's reactions here today, he was the same when he was young, and he still felt some empathy. The human mind will always be limited by the body. If you don't feel the physical suffering, you will never grow up.

As for why Ye Zhenguo still said it for so long, it was probably because he wanted to let his son experience the suffering he had suffered before. Otherwise, life is so boring. His happiness is so simple and unpretentious.

When Ye Xuan returned to her courtyard, Hongrui was already waiting in the courtyard, holding the carved sandalwood in her hand, her carpentry was so good that she carved herself vividly. Looking at Ye Xuan, he also looked gentle. This tenderness is only rarely seen on her face.

Seeing Ye Xuan coming back, Hongrui hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Ye Xuan's arm and rubbed it in front of him. The voice is also very gentle. "Well, I agreed. After speaking, he looked at him expectantly. This kind of gaze made Ye Xuan feel a sense of guilt that his great cause had not been accomplished. But who called the red stamen beautiful? I have to say that good-looking is an advantage.

But no matter how tempting the external conditions were, Ye Xuan still held his head high and said loudly: "If the matter is not done, it will not be possible to go through the formal procedures at all." Let's think of something else. ”

Hongrui's face instantly became lost, and then became cold, and those gentle hands also released from Ye Xuan's arms. Angry: "You can't do this." ”

Ye Xuan said unceremoniously at this time: "Yes, it can't be done." You're turning your face faster than you can turn a book. Why do I have to help you? Why can't I do it? What's the matter, you have to figure it out yourself!"
