Chapter 214: The National Flower Peony
"Stand down, don't be rude!"
Tang Taizong hurriedly stopped, Tang Taizong was very smart, according to his experience, it is estimated that Zhu Bajie should have encountered some kind of difficulty, otherwise he would not have come to find himself like this, and he had to report it, he should have come directly.
"Shangxian is not strange, I don't know if Shangxian has any good suggestions, but I can say that I can listen to it?" Tang Taizong had a somewhat majestic smile on his face.
The guard beside Tang Taizong was a little unwilling, and the corners of his mouth floated slightly: "Pretending to be a ghost, I can kill you countless times by myself, hum!"
Zhu Bajie pretended not to hear, but looked at Tang Taizong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to be hospitality, right?"
When Tang Taizong heard Zhu Bajie's words, he remembered that it was indeed more abrupt, and he smiled embarrassedly at the moment.
"Hurry up and prepare all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas!" The eunuch beside Tang Taizong went down, and Tang Taizong made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Bajie.
"Shangxian, we have something to talk about, we can talk about it in the imperial study, please!"
Zhu Bajie nodded, and he thought a little more highly of Tang Taizong in his heart, no wonder he was able to govern the Tang Dynasty so strongly, and the most important thing was that Tang Taizong was registered unjustly, this is the real big problem.
Tang Taizong led Zhu Bajie to the imperial study, and after giving Zhu Bajie a seat, Zhu Bajie did not hide it, but said: "Your Majesty, I will give you a chance, the most beautiful flower in the world, I promise that if this kind of flower opens in your Tang Kingdom, it will definitely be a good thing in the future." ”
"Oh......"
Tang Taizong's eyes also narrowed slightly, one hand on the table, knocked on the table full of concerts, and a soft voice came out.
"Shangxian, although I know that you are an immortal, I don't dare to ask for any benefits, but I hope that Shangxian can still give me a promise, how about it?"
Zhu Bajie frowned, this Tang Taizong is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he can see that he is now in the initiative and demands himself, and many people do not have this courage.
"Say it, I'll do my best!"
Zhu Bajie looked at Tang Taizong, with some helplessness in his voice, although Zhu Bajie boasted of his own scheming, but over the years, although he fought wits and courage, most of the time was the years of cultivating immortals, if he talked about the complexity of people's hearts, then since ancient times, there is no more earthly emperor than this.
"I hope that the immortals can ensure that my Great Tang Kingdom will be strong and prosperous for three hundred years," as soon as Tang Taizong's words came out, Zhu Bajie frowned, and Tang Taizong's words changed instantly, "I know that since ancient times, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, but the Tang Kingdom is now in a good mood, and it will be absolutely safe and sound within a hundred years, but after a hundred years, I don't know what it will look like, so I hope to ......"
Zhu Bajie began to groan in his mind, in fact, according to his experience, the glory of the Tang Kingdom for hundreds of years is no problem, but now is this an illusion or a reality?
"Your Majesty, I know that you are the Emperor of Ming, and I also know that the Tang Kingdom is smooth and prosperous, and now I really don't have this ability, you should have guessed some, I don't have any mana now, and if this is an illusion, then I can tell the emperor that the Tang Kingdom will be prosperous for hundreds of years, there is no doubt about it, I don't know if the emperor still has questions?"
Zhu Bajie thought about it for a while, and when dealing with an overly smart person like Tang Taizong, it was better to say it straightforwardly than to beat around the bush.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Bajie's words came out, Tang Taizong had a faint smile on his face, and then said: "Shangxian, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I will be relieved when I hear the words, and I have to ask Shangxian to show me this kind of flower first, after all, the national flower of a country cannot be arbitrary!"
"The emperor really deserves to be a smart person, your national flower is far away in the sky, close in front of you!" Zhu Bajie smiled faintly, Tang Taizong looked at the peony fairy in surprise, and then became calm.
"Could it be that what the immortal is talking about is this fairy, so I don't dare to lose weight, now the queen of the Tang Kingdom, there are also a lot of concubines, I can't increase the burden of the country, forgive me for being difficult to obey!"
Tang Taizong suddenly refused, but Zhu Bajie couldn't laugh or cry, this is really a speechless emperor, the beauty is in front of him, he is indifferent, as if he is mutilating him.
The peony fairy walked quietly to the middle of the imperial study, and transformed, a bright red noble, beautiful flower bloomed in the imperial study.
"Youkai?"
The face of the guard on the side changed greatly, and he hurriedly pulled out his weapon directly to protect Tang Taizong, but what a character Tang Taizong was, he directly scolded at the moment: "Get out of here, whoever is rude will be dealt with by military law!"
The peony turned into a humanoid appearance again, and his face was still the same noble and calm, but Tang Taizong's eyes were still unfinished.
In fact, it is not for the beauty of the peony fairy, but for the beauty of the peony flower, which is really the most noble existence in the world, just like the snow lotus above the nine heavens, which makes people awe.
Tang Taizong looked at the peony fairy, as if he had only come back to his senses at this time, and suddenly slapped it on the desk in front of him, with unparalleled excitement on his face.
He wants to find a national flower, in fact, there is a reason, that is, today's Tang Kingdom, the country is prosperous, and countless countries come to worship, and there is no symbolic thing, that is not good, and the appearance of the peony flower is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Good flowers, this is the most beautiful and noble flower I have seen in my lifetime, and with my Tang Kingdom, it just complements each other. ”
"Shangxian, what is the name of this flower?" Tang Taizong also recovered from his excitement, looked at Zhu Bajie, and asked.
"Peony!" Zhu Bajie said two words lightly, Tang Taizong nodded, it is indeed a good name, and said with a smile at the moment: "Shangxian, I am sure to use peony as the national flower, from now on, peony will bloom in every corner of the Tang Kingdom, Shangxian I have prepared wine and food, please move there." ”
"Well, I haven't eaten real delicacies from the mountains and seas for many years, and I haven't tasted fine food and wine, so today is the opportunity to get drunk and rest. ”
The Tang Kingdom is really rich in things, Zhu Bajie looked at the table full of dishes, and he was not polite, and he didn't care about Tang Taizong, he directly began to swallow saliva and move his hands.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Bajie hiccuped comfortably, he hadn't felt this way for many years, the peony fairy looked at Zhu Bajie like this, with some satisfaction in her eyes, she was even thinking, if the two of them were like this for the rest of their lives, how good it would be.
"Your Majesty, it is estimated that you will stay in the Tang Kingdom for a period of time, I hope you will be on the edge of Luoyang in the next manor, and the two of us will start planting peony flowers there, and when the time comes, with the spread of peony flowers, the entire Tang Kingdom can declare the peony as the national flower." ”
Tang Taizong nodded, then looked at the people around him, found an official, and asked if there was a vacant manor outside Luoyang City, so he learned that a place called Bishan has a good manor, and the scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is the best place for peony flowers to open and grow.
So, Zhu Bajie and Peony settled down in the manor of Bishan, and they also began to plant peony flowers, so the two came in the spring, autumn and autumn.
The peony flowers finally opened, the peony flowers all over the mountains, in all directions, and countless people, towards the mountain of this place to worship, countless people came to look for Zhu Bajie and the peony fairy, that is, to ask for the seeds of peony flowers, but also want to plant some in front of their homes.
Zhu Bajie and the peony fairy looked at the peony flowers all over the mountains, and their hearts were satisfied, maybe they really wanted to be here for the rest of their lives, just like this, just grow flowers, drink wine every day, and be like this for a lifetime, but all this is still impossible.
This is just a love calamity, Zhu Bajie looked at the busy crowd, and suddenly said to the peony beside him: "Peony, it's better to be like this, you add some blood to the peony flowers you planted, plus some immortal energy, it can be regarded as helping Tang Taizong protect the Tang Kingdom, how about it?"
Peony looked at Zhu Bajie and smiled elegantly.
"Yes, I have this intention, so that these people who like peony flowers can be healthy, and peony flowers can also become a kind of medicinal herb, so that these ordinary people do not have to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, which is also a kind of merit!"
Zhu Bajie nodded, so in the second year, the peony flowers in Bishan bloomed again, but this time when they opened, the fragrance of peony flowers disappeared.
"What does it smell like?"
Zhu Bajie looked at the peony and didn't know why there was such an accident, but the peony fairy said: "The peony flower has changed. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhu Bajie was still a little puzzled, why the flowers that were still fragrant last year have become so smelly today.
The peony flower is originally very beautiful, as a real scenery, it is naturally fragrant, but now, I have added fairy energy, plus blood, the peony flower has become a kind of elixir, between the mortal world, is there not a saying called good medicine bitter mouth is good for disease?
Zhu Bajie suddenly realized that in the past two years, he has not thought about the way of heaven, but seems a little narrow, right, how can there be perfect things between heaven and earth?
"Okay, Peony, it's time for us to leave, the love tribulation is over, your cultivation is already an ancestral immortal cultivation, and my state of mind has improved again. ”
Both of them were overjoyed and disappeared directly in place, but in the palace of the Tang Kingdom, Tang Taizong, looking at the blood in front of him, his face changed greatly, because this year's peony flowers became unpleasant.
"Hurry up and invite me to bring the immortals, why is this happening?"
But when Tang Taizong ordered people to come to Bishan, the houses in Bishan had disappeared, and all that remained were peony flowers all over the mountain.
"What? Shangxian is gone!" Tang Taizong's face was furious, he suddenly felt that he was being played, but at this time, in the palace, a imperial doctor came out and said: "Tell Your Majesty, today's peony flowers can cure all kinds of diseases, and there are two varieties, one is fragrant, but it is very ordinary, and the other is stinky, but it is extremely precious and can strengthen the body!"
