Chapter 200: All kinds of horrors (ask for a monthly pass!)
Ye Xingyuan didn't expect the emperor to be so interested in Xiangrui, at two o'clock, half an hour earlier than the original time, the little eunuch hurriedly rushed into the side hall and reported the news that the emperor was about to visit Xinglu Garden.
The three of them naturally escorted Xiangrui and greeted them in the deer park. The stone statue of the crow god unicorn has been moved from the car and placed on the grass of the deer park, except for the crow above the unicorn is still flashing red intermittently, there is nothing else peculiar.
This auspicious auspiciousness barely disappoints, but it's also hard to surprise.
The emperor's imperial chariot soon arrived at the deer garden, and Ye Xingyuan saw a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe slowly walking in, the sword spirit was churning in the sea of knowledge, and the oppression from the mandate of heaven was even more obvious.
This middle-aged man has a good appearance, but he is not amazing, and he does not have any special appearance because the emperor is the representative of the Mandate of Heaven, if it weren't for Ye Xingyuan's ability to perceive the Mandate of Heaven, I am afraid that he would feel a little disappointed.
The human emperor of the Xuanyuan world is nothing more than that. Even if it is destiny, it is still a mortal. Seeing the emperor for the first time, Ye Xingyuan had such thoughts in his heart.
"Ye Xingyuan, Guiyang County, Dinghu Province, Tang Shiyan, Hanjiang Prefecture, and Zhu Ning'er, a daughter of Yuanzhong County, Jingchu Province, presented the stone statue of the unicorn crow god. Righteous spirits, reappearing in the prosperous era, is a sign of national peace and security, please the emperor to watch. Eunuch An raised his voice and spoke, and someone carried the stone statue in front of Emperor Longping.
As for Ye Xingyuan and the other three, it would be considered good that they could be mentioned by name, but on this occasion, if the emperor didn't ask questions, there would be no chance for them to speak.
However, Eunuch An knew that Emperor Longping would ask. He peeked at Emperor Longping's expression, and saw that the emperor's gaze kept rolling over Ye Xingyuan, and his face showed a look of joy and satisfaction. Knowing the emperor's intentions, he smiled and said: "Long live the lord, this Ye Xingyuan is the current Ke Xie Yuan of Dinghu Province, who once single-handedly persuaded 80,000 homeless people, and it was he who found this stone statue of the crow god under the long canal in the north and south, which is really a young man. β
This is called fun, someone the emperor doesn't want to deal with. Eunuch An will definitely not waste his lips and tongues. But the object that the emperor wants to pay attention to, as a eunuch with him, must be prepared to build steps. Speculating on the intention of this matter, Eunuch An has long been handy.
Emperor Longping glanced at him, and was really satisfied, nodded and said, "I have also heard of Ye Qing's deeds. β
Ye Xingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, "The students are panicking. Young and untraveling. There is a dirty emperor to listen to. β
Tang Shiyan next to him was extremely envious, this can be the prelude to the king, right, how many people dream of honor, Ye Xingyuan easily got it at this age. And his words are neither humble nor arrogant, calmly, without the fear of seeing the sky, I really don't know how this child has grown to this point.
Eunuch An smiled, he knew best what the emperor wanted to ask. He cleared his throat and asked, "How old are you this year?"
Ye Xingyuan was stunned, and said in his heart, why does the emperor care about me. Do you want to recruit me as a concubine? Now I haven't even passed the Jinshi examination, and it seems that I don't meet the requirements for the princess to recruit a son-in-law.
He calculated in his heart, but he didn't dare to deal with it slowly, "The student is seventeen this year, because I have been sluggish since I was a child, and only one sister raised me, so I have not decided to marry. β
Although I don't know what the emperor's intentions are, I still climb along the pole and quickly praise my sister Ye Cuizhi, maybe there is something good. Sure enough, the emperor sighed: "The eldest sister is like a mother, nursing the younger brother, this is really hard, she is really the daughter of the martyr." β
Ye Xingyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, "Long live the reward, my sister has a praise from the royal mouth, and she wins the reward of a thousand gold!"
Others are not in a hurry, including their own benefits, but Ye Xingyuan is grateful to Ye Cuizhi who raised him, since he has this opportunity to ask for a reward for her, he will never miss it, so he simply pretends to be ignorant and gags.
Emperor Longping laughed, turned back to Eunuch An and said: "This little lifter is really good at climbing the pole, when did I say that I would reward him?" But this woman is indeed not simple, she can be raised alone, and bring out a wise and brave lifter, she can also be regarded as a strange woman. β
Eunuch An nodded and wrote down, the eunuchs who watched were all well-intentioned people, Emperor Longping had always hated others to ask for rewards, Ye Xingyuan asked for a memorial arch for his sister with this sentence, this is a glory that many high-ranking officials and wives have never had, this favor is not simple.
What is this Ye Xingyuan's identity, and he actually has the emperor's favor? Could it be that all the rumors in the market are true? Otherwise, why would even the treacherous and cunning eunuch An be beside him?
If nothing else, he said the words "wisdom and bravery", and it seemed a little too grand to give a person who was not yet 20 years old, and how could the emperor know that this young man was both wise and brave?
Ye Xingyuan didn't care about everyone's reactions, and sincerely thanked him again, and now he hasn't earned his sister's life yet. But at least an extra torii first, which is a bonus.
You must know that a memorial arch can be set up in the township for at least more than 100 years, and the shade of future generations may be more useful than the edict, and those scholars in the county are anxious to seek a memorial arch like a black-eyed chicken. At the beginning, Ding Juren was for the benefit of a memorial arch, and he did not hesitate to completely take refuge in Zhouzhi County, losing the dignity of his scholars, resulting in the fact that he could not turn over now.
Now in a few words, you can get this benefit, and it is just an appetizer for the first meal. Sure enough, the status of the people who are talking to them is different, and life is different, and the so-called rising tide lifts all boats.
"You don't have to thank me, meritorious deeds should be rewarded, excessive punishments, rewards and punishments are clear, is the way to be a king. Emperor Longping's heart was itching, and he just wanted to ask Ye Xingyuan more details such as the female sword fairy fox spirit, but it was a pity that his identity was limited, so he could only say some clichΓ©s.
Eunuch An heard the throbbing in the emperor's tone, and asked with a smile: "Ye Gongzi is young, he is talented, and he has not yet married, so there must be many confidants?"
Ye Xingyuan was stunned, today he actually prepared a lot of manuscripts, waiting for the emperor to ask the origin of Xiangrui, he also talked endlessly, and by the way, he bragged to the crow god. But now these questions are all unexpected by him, and they have nothing to do with Xiangrui, is it common for the emperor to gossip with him?
How should this question be answered? If it is said that it is, it will inevitably seem too flashy, and if it is not, will it seem too rigid? What kind of image should he create in front of the emperor, Ye Xingyuan found that this key question had not yet been considered.
However, what he is best at is improvisation, and after a little thought, he replied: "Three thousand weak water, only one scoop." The so-called ten thousand flowers have passed, and the leaves do not stick to the body"
Don't say whether there is one, first put on an attitude, you can advance or retreat, whatever you want. But before Ye Xingyuan finished speaking, he heard Emperor Longping laugh and said: "Okay!
Emperor Longping was preconceived when he heard the story, and he thought that Ye Xingyuan had broken his childlike body early and enjoyed all the blessings in the world, but this kind of person was afraid of indulging in it and couldn't extricate himself, which was vulgar. Now that Ye Xingyuan's words came out, Emperor Longping greatly appreciated it, and his gaze at Ye Xingyuan was different.
He sighed: "Although you are from a humble background, you have the courage to speak. That's it, women are just like this, even if they are stunning in the world, they are just a moment of ecstasy, and they can't let go of a woman's dreams, that's really a little family, and giving birth to a child should be like a leaf Xingyuan!"
The emperor felt something in his heart, and listened to the rumors in the market, but he just thought it was funny, so he said this casually. But in the ears of others, it doesn't mean that at all.
What does it mean to be "born in a small place" and "noble popularity"? What does it mean to "give birth to a child like a leaf and travel far away"? This is to simply admit this missing pearl outside? That is a world upside down!
And what is even more shocking is not only these two sentences, but the most important thing is the interruption of the emperor's words, saying "I can't let go of it for a woman" and "being a little child", who is this talking about?
Ye Xingyuan, Tang Shiyan and Zhu Ning'er had not been in the capital for a long time, and they were not well-informed and ignorant, but the other people who stood in the deer garden, which one was not a human spirit, and the emperor's words were all heard--because of this, their faces turned pale and trembled.
The prince was too old to get married, but because of the personal feelings of his children, he refused the marriage of several ministers in the court, and the emperor was angry several times about this, and then simply put it aside, but it was always a thorn in the middle of their father and son.
Originally, the crown prince's position was stable, but because of this discordant marriage, many people in the government and the opposition had different thoughts about the prince. But this is not something that can be said on the surface, today's emperor clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and he compared Ye Xingyuan, what does that mean?
Eunuch An was shocked, and he didn't even dare to answer, just waiting for the emperor to change the topic himself, otherwise it would seem too blunt, and he was afraid of being provoked behind his back, if he didn't say it clearly, what would Prince An Zhi think of him?
However, Emperor Longping felt it, and after finishing speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he kept silent, and there was an embarrassing silence on the scene. Ye Xingyuan was shocked in his heart, he had just been praised by such a golden mouth, and it was not easy to answer, and he was racking his brains to think about how to deal with it, when he heard an angry roar from the side, and the long-horned winged tiger actually flew out of the bushes!
The tiger opened its teeth and claws, and with a sweep of its tail, it swept down several palace people who were subconsciously blocked, took three steps and made two steps, and rushed in the direction of Emperor Longping.
"Escort! Escort!" Eunuch An was stunned, he would encounter this kind of accident when he came to Luyuan, this is a strange thing that has not been encountered for hundreds of years, he is also alert, he arched in front of Emperor Longping, the tiger was strong, and he hit him in the chest, Eunuch An stood unsteadily, and slipped into a rolling gourd, slamming into the trunk of a tree not far away, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Emperor Longping faced the tiger head-on, although he was calm, but his face was still like gold paper, and he looked up to see Ye Xingyuan desperately not caring for himself, rushed forward and dragged the tiger's tail, and shouted: "The emperor is leaving, with me here, I swear to keep the emperor safe!"
Ye Xingyuan's words shook the earth, and his loyalty was awe-inspiring. (To be continued......)
