Chapter 425. 424. Listening to the rain, drinking tea and talking to good officials

The first day of March.

Tomb-sweeping day is approaching, and there is a lot of rain.

Luoyang, Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.

If it is said that for Yang Guang, there is something in his heart in this early spring season.

Then, a can of tribute tea before Ming Dynasty must be one of them.

No, in the teapot in front of the table at this moment, there is a can of good tea sent from Jiangnan a few days ago.

Good tea needs good people.

And for this emperor who sits on the world, there is nothing more suitable than listening to the rain and drinking tea with friends.

No dragon robe, no honor yellow, today the emperor specially wearing a blue-faced broad robe like a hermit sat cross-legged, sitting on the bamboo couch in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, holding a pot in his own hand, drinking wine there according to the old drinking style. Tea rules, first take out new tea and grind it into powder, then prepare a furnace of golden bamboo charcoal with dragon pattern, then take a large bowl with exquisite shape, introduce tea powder and boiling water in according to the proportion, and use bamboo silk to woven Brush and sweep.

When the tea powder and water are fully fused and the tea fragrance is overflowing, put it into the pot.

And just when the tea was about to be poured, one hand took the teapot over:
"My lord~ If any historian sees this, I'm afraid I will be infamous forever?"

The No. [-] Xuanbing Immortal in the World said while pouring the tender green tea soup into two teacups.

"...boring."

Yang Guang, who had a solemn face just now, seemed to be doing something solemn, suddenly failed. Looking at his friends who grew up together, there was no majesty of the emperor on his face, only a touch of disgust.

And upon hearing this, Yu Wenhuaji had a wry smile on his face, but he held his cup respectfully.

Amidst the sound of dripping rain, Yang Guang, who was quite romantic in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, had a drink with him.

After taking a sip of the green tea soup, his brows frowned... Then he asked his friend:

"how?"

"..."

The elegant and elegant Confucian scholar who was not inferior to the emperor calmly put down his cup, thought for a while, and said:
"There is a wonderful way to understand nature."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Guang couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily:
"to be frank!"

"...It's hard to drink."

"Tsk."

In the whole world, there is probably only one who dares to tell an emperor that the tea is bad.

And after hearing that the courtier tasted his tea, he was not grateful to Dade, and instead of crying bitterly, he gave a "drinkable" evaluation, and instead of being angry, he was speechless. This is probably the only emperor. up.

"Xiaoxi, change all these things."

Waving to the servant next to him, he poured two cups of tea into the pool, and the emperor who also looked disgusted said:

"So... what's left over... the flavor of tea, it's farting, right? The tea smells weird, and... Huaji, don't you think you can stir it up with that broom Is the tea I drink afterward just like a bowl of water for washing pots?... It’s just such a waste of good Mingqianwumei tea. The things made by those sour scholars simply don’t know what to say.”

As he spoke, he picked up a rub of tea from the pot, threw it into the teapot, and the emperor who raised the kettle to flush the water said again:

"Tea, the secret to good drinking is nothing more than good tea and good water. It's as simple as that. Right?"

No. [-] in the world nodded:
"That's true. Next time, if His Majesty calls the minister to drink the pot water, then the minister will say that he will not recover from the illness."

"Hahahahaha..."

There are no monarchs and ministers. Today, the emperor who is just a friend reminiscing about the past laughs heartily.

Coupled with the sound of the rain falling like beads, he looked extremely happy.

But it just so happened that at this time, Huang Xizi who was waiting on the side suddenly looked in the direction of the entrance of the imperial garden.

Stepping quietly away, the rain leaves no trace.

When he came to the door, he saw a man wearing a coir raincoat and covering his face with a kerchief, even when he saw him, the chief supervisor of Zhangxiang, who didn't take off his mask, standing in the rain.

Huang Xizi was not surprised, but frowned and asked:

"Where did it come from?"

"Hebei."

"Bring it up."

"Yes."

The man took out the wooden box from his arms, the size of a palm, and handed it over.

"Go."

After receiving the wooden box and giving some instructions, Huang Xizi turned around and left, arriving at He Yuwen Wenhua and the emperor who continued to chat and laugh:

"Your Majesty, Zhulong has a letter from Hebei."

"Ok?"

Yang Guang was taken aback.

After Yu Wenhuaji heard this, he got up and wanted to hand over:
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first..."

"fine."

Yang Guang pointed to the seat, motioned him not to leave, and took the box from Huang Xizi directly.

After opening it, it turned out to be a bronze flying bird inside!
There are mottled rust spots on the bronze flying bird, which can be seen to be very old at first glance, at least a hundred years.

"...Wooden kite?"

The moment he saw the bronze flying bird, a title came out of Yu Wenhuaji's mouth.

Yang Guang nodded:
"Well. It is indeed a wooden kite... Lu Ban made a total of [-] of them, and they were damaged by the war for many years, and now there are six remaining. I also gave one to the Mohist... originally I wanted to improve it. Although the wooden kite I can fly in the sky for five days and five nights, but my speed is still not as fast as a pigeon. I wanted to see if I could improve it... Unfortunately, Lu Ban is indeed a great talent. This wooden kite will be destroyed when it is damaged, and only a pile of ordinary iron is left... I’m afraid no one will ever be able to do it again.”

After explaining the difficulty of replicating the flying bird that Luban made of wood in the legend and could fly for three days and three nights, Yang Guang seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the copper bird when he took it out. They separated immediately, and a letter that was rolled up inside fell out.

The volume of letters is very thick, which is far from comparable to that carried by pigeons that can only write a few words.

In front of Yu Wenhuaji, he unfolded it and began to read.

After a hundred breaths, his brows tightened instantly.

Then, he pushed the letter and signaled Yu Wenhua to watch it.

But the other party shook his head again:

"Your Majesty, it's better for me not to look at it."

"So why be so careful?"

Yang Guang was a little speechless, but he didn't insist, but said:

"Forget it, if you don't want to read it, let me tell you, the head office will do it right?... Actually, what it says is very simple, He'er has gone to Hebei."

"...?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Yu Wenhuaji's face:
"Li Shilang went to Hebei?"

"good."

Holding the teacup, Yang Guang couldn't see any joy or anger in his eyes, and said plainly:

"Only you, me, and Xiaoxi know about the existence of Zhulong. The Baiqisi monitors the world, and the only function of Zhulong is to watch He'er for me."

"...Could it be... Li Shilang, she..."

"She did see Zhu Huai."

"..."

Yu Wenhua was silent for a moment, then shook his head:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, your defeated general is nothing to worry about. Then... how does Your Majesty plan to deal with Li Shilang?"

"Why should I deal with her?"

"...?"

Looking at the trace of doubt on the face of No. [-] Under Heaven, a hint of banter finally appeared on the originally calm face of the emperor:
"Look, I told you to watch it a long time ago, but you don't watch it. Are you being teased by me now? Hahahaha~"

"..."

Yu Wenhuaji's complexion suddenly became "pretty".

But Yang Guang said with a smile:

"Do you think He'er went to confess to Zhu Huai? Haha, actually, I thought so when I saw her meeting Zhu Huai just now. But... no. It took her two days to arrive in Hejian, It took less than a cup of tea to meet Zhu Huai. Because the distance was too far, Zhulong did not hear their conversation. However, Zhu Huai gave his apprentice a gourd of wine, while He'er gave him a cup of wine. My master two fish. Then... guess what happened?"

"His Majesty……"

"how?"

"Why don't you... see for yourself?"

"Hahaha~"

After a sentence that made Huang Xizi couldn't help covering his face and laughing, Yang Guang stopped showing off and said directly:
"The two moved their swords."

"..."

"One move, after one move, He'er was stabbed in the heart, and there was no injury in his arms. Although he said he didn't hold back his hand, after all, a tiger's poison would not eat its prey. After one move, he didn't make things difficult for He'er anymore, but just let it go. It's gone."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know for now."

As soon as the words were finished, suddenly, Yu Wenhuaji and Huang Xizi looked at the entrance of the Imperial Garden again at the same time.

This time there is no need for Zhang Xiang to run away, the Xuanbing Ren made a move, and the four thin bamboo tubes tied to the flying pigeons passed through countless ice beads and came to the table.

Yu Wenhuaji unscrewed the bamboo tubes one by one by himself, and after confirming the safety, he spliced ​​the letterheads together according to the marks, and presented them to Yang Guang.

This time, the monarch and his ministers watched it together.

"Your Majesty, judging by the handwriting, it should not be written by Li Shilang?"

"Well, that's right. He'er's handwriting is very ordinary, but the person who wrote this handwriting has some rough edges in his heart."

After commenting, looking at the contents of the letter, Yang Guang shook his head:
"This girl... Is it possible that I am some kind of stupid king who doesn't know how to be considerate of others? I am injured, I am injured, and I have to come back to cultivate. Look at her, she doesn't say a word, and she is full of guilt. If Zhu Huai is so easy to recruit Yes, why wait until now?... She is fine, she has a falling out with her master, but she still wants to go to Luo Yi? Why are you looking for Luo Yi? If Luo Yi really surrenders, I will have to pay him , to continue guarding Liaodong for me?... Sigh."

After a sigh, he shook his head:

"Why do you need to make up for the mistakes, hurt your heart, if you don't deal with it in time, you might die early...uh..."

Speaking of this, suddenly, he seemed to understand something...

There was another sigh:
"Oh... this silly boy... Xiaoxi."

"His Majesty."

"You make a trip yourself and bring He'er back to me. It's almost time to go. If she makes any mistakes, won't my eyes go blind!? Go now and bring her back to me safely. !"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Following the emperor's will, the supervisor turned and walked away without hesitation for a moment.

The emperor let out a long sigh:
"The courtiers in this world...if they are all like He'er, then I...would be much more at ease."

"..."

Immortals are silent.

　It's the last day, ask for a monthly ticket!
