Chapter 203: Monarchs and Ministers Gather for the Qionglin Banquet
Zhao Gou said in a majestic voice, "He Aiqing, I order you to deal with this matter with full authority, as the Yin of Lin'an Mansion, you must be fair and just, Duan Ran can't bend the law for personal gain, otherwise, I will not spare you." ”
He Buping couldn't help but scold himself in his heart, "I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes today, and I actually made this offending messenger." In his mouth, he replied loudly, "Weichen will not dare to live up to His Majesty's trust." ”
Zhao Gou said calmly, "I have arranged it like this, and you Aiqing can have objections. ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen does not dare to speak falsely. "The ministers are busy answering the way.
"In this case, this matter will end here, and I will do what I just said afterwards, if you Aiqing want to go and see, you can find He Buping to discuss it afterwards. Zhao Gou said slowly, "Today is the Qionglin Banquet, the purpose is to celebrate the Hanlin students, don't delay too long because of such a trivial matter, as for these two people, they will be temporarily escorted to the Lin'an Mansion, and after He Aiqing finds out, they will be decided together." ”
"Your Majesty. When the ministers heard this, they bowed again.
Although Zhang Jun and the others were extremely unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to plead at this time, but they just cried and mourned, and it was difficult to hide their lost emotions.
"Wait. Just when everyone thought that this matter was over temporarily, a vicissitudes of voice came out of the crowd, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen still has objections to this matter, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Looking at it, this person was the old man sitting next to Murong Yu.
Seeing this, Zhao Gou got up busily, looked straight at the old man, and said politely, "If Young Master Lu has any objections, please speak, I will answer them for you." The tone was extremely respectful.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for being stupid. Young Master Lu said slowly, "The minister has lived for so many years, but he has not heard how a powerless person can kill the master of the Kunlun faction. If Lao Chen is not mistaken, the Kunlun faction is all people with superb martial arts, and there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes. I don't know if what the old minister said is right, and I ask Your Majesty for advice. ”
"The young master is serious, what the young master said is not a little false, this Kunlun faction is one of the best sects in the rivers and lakes, and the forces under the sect are all over the world, all of them are superb martial arts. ”
In that case, Weichen didn't understand. Young Master Lu's tone sank, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "As for whether there are other hidden secrets here, please consider Your Majesty, and don't listen to what one person says." If Your Majesty is so reckless in judging right and wrong, won't it chill people's hearts? ”
There are words in the words, but they don't know how to feel it, and they don't give Zhao Gou any face at all, and others feel even more bold and rebellious when they hear it.
However, after Zhao Gou heard this, he did not get angry, but said slowly with a smile on his face, "What the young master said is extremely true, but I am a little reckless, I should follow the young master's teachings carefully, and dare not harm the lives of innocent people." ”
"Your Majesty has a heart, the old minister is old and deaf, and what he said just now is all nonsense. Young Master Lu responded, "Please also Your Majesty, don't blame the old minister for talking too much." ”
"Young Master is serious, how can I have such thoughts. Zhao Gou smiled and said, "The young master has done his best for the country and the people, and no one in the entire court knows who doesn't know, so why don't I complain about the young master because of this matter." The young master is preventing me from making mistakes, I should be grateful, how can I blame the young master. ”
After that, Zhao Gou's voice sank, and he said loudly, "Put this matter aside for the time being, as for the merits of it, we will talk about it after He Aiqing investigates it clearly, so as not to take advantage of the situation by those who have a heart, and lest innocent people be wronged." As soon as his voice turned, he immediately said, "I might as well give Young Master Lu an explanation." ”
"Your Majesty. When the ministers heard this, they were busy shouting loudly.
"Everyone, please be even. Zhao Gou said in a deep voice, "The Qionglin banquet has also been delayed for too long, today is a festive day, you Aiqing should drink happily." ”
The group of people also returned to their respective seats, not daring to delay the slightest, and this matter was temporarily put aside.
Wang Duo saw that the things he had calculated were stopped by this Young Master Lu, and he secretly said in his heart, "How can this be reasonable, you dare to be the enemy of my Kunlun faction, it seems that I have to let you know how powerful my Kunlun faction is afterwards." ”
Murong Yu didn't forget to salute and thank Young Master Lu, if this matter didn't have Young Master Lu's righteous outspokenness, I'm afraid that a few people would be more auspicious today.
A few people whispered, and the entire hall was already singing and dancing, and the musical instruments were playing in unison, so it was not lively. The ministers also toasted each other and talked happily.
After a while, Zhao Gou said loudly, "This year's new champion is available?"
A person dressed as a champion was busy kneeling down and saying, "Weichen Zhao Yu see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
"Excuse me. Zhao Gou said slowly, "You seem to be outstanding, and you are extremely handsome, and you deserve to be the new champion of this year, and I like you very much." Come, I'll give you a glass of wine!" he said, raising the wine glass in his hand, and the eunuchs on both sides immediately stepped forward, poured the wine, and brought it over.
I saw that Zhao Yu raised his glass over the top, knelt down and said: "Minister Zhao Yu, thank the emperor for his grace." Then he took his glass and drank it all.
When Tang Tang saw this scene, he said mockingly, "This emperor is too stingy and doesn't like to be clean, so he even took the remaining cup he drank to this champion to drink, isn't he afraid of contracting any disease to this new champion." ”
When Young Master Lu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "You junior is also bold, this kind of talk can't be nonsense." You must know that it is a great sin to kill the head to talk about the saints of today. ”
When Tang Tang heard this, he was busy covering his mouth, for fear that he would be heard by others, but fortunately, it was far away, and Tang Tang was talking in a low voice, and no one found out about this scene.
Young Master Lu smiled slightly, but he didn't speak, raised his glass to the minister who had walked past to toast, signaled, and drank.
Zhao Gou saw that Zhao Yu was drinking so refreshingly, not at all like an ordinary scholar, and said loudly, "Aiqing seems to have a good amount of alcohol, quite a legacy of the sages, and is worthy of being a dragon and phoenix among people." I'm going to take a test for you today, and see if you really have the talent to learn?"
Zhao Yu's heart sank, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”
Zhao Gou smiled slightly, and said to himself: "It's rare to be so festive today, let's use this as the theme to pair a couplet, what do you think!"
A group of civil and military officials responded: "My emperor Shengming, we should listen to it!"
Zhao Gou laughed and said, "Zhuqing, listen to it, I'm going to read it." ”
His heart moved, and he said slowly: "Listen up, Zhuqing, the Shanglian I came out is: the monarchs and ministers gathered in the Qionglin banquet, all scholars and military generals, all of them are stars in the sky. ”
Tang Tang looked at the hundreds of civil and military officials but they were all motionless, all waiting intently, and when he heard Zhao Gou suddenly come out of this couplet, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, "This emperor's couplet is too substandard, what kind of fucking bullshit couplet is this, I think it's bragging." ”
