Chapter 108

The imperial concubine of the Eastern Yu Kingdom fainted to the ground due to a rare puzzle from the people of the Yi Kingdom. This is simply a huge scandal!The ministers were originally dissatisfied with her showing her face without permission, and even less liked her analysis of the first question, but seeing her flickering around, and being loved by the emperor, they could not bear it. !

Was the first question really difficult?Ordinary people may be, so the people of Yiguo are complacent, thinking that they can give Dongyu Kingdom a disgrace, but for the courtiers who have been bathed in Dongyu culture since birth and sailed through the waves in poetry and dictionaries, how can they be troubled? ?
It's not difficult to solve, the difficulty for all the ministers is how to solve it beautifully, which can hit the villain without falling into the prestige of the Eastern Yu Kingdom!

But it was this flash of spirit that made her lose her face...

That anagram is obviously not worth mentioning!
Lu Miaojun admired the suffocated faces of the ministers, and secretly laughed in his heart. Of course, Lu Qingshuang's analysis was not wrong, but it was a re-interpretation of the words of the sages after the passage of time. How could the literati accept it easily?Any literary discussion out of the background of the times is grandstanding.

Lu Qingshuang, a talented woman from ancient times, made such a big mistake because she was spoiled by her original body, and she always thought that she would be able to do everything by relying on the system.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting hot, Yu Miaojun said: "The noble concubine is not feeling well, Mr. Liu, I will let you answer."

When Liu Shuping was called, he was shocked. Under the envious eyes of the other courtiers, he stood up like a cannon barrel: "Yes! I will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor!" Fang Zheng, a young man from the Yi country, looked at him triumphantly. Liu Shuping's heart arose suddenly, but he pretended to be indifferent and said: "If you don't return in August, there are only two old people left. Together, it's just a 'show'."

He didn't wait for the other party to react, and took the opportunity to taunt the emperor by citing the scriptures and quotes. His words were extremely mean but hidden under the compliment, which made Bagcha look gloomy and unable to vent his anger, and finally wronged the emperor: "Your country The sage said, "My life has a limit, and my knowledge has no limit." Even though the ministers and others have a little lack of knowledge, they have been working hard, forgetting to eat, and working hard. Why do your ministers ridicule? Is this the way of hospitality in a great country? ?”

There was a brief silence.

Yu Miaojun was silent, and said after a while: "My life has a limit, and knowledge has no limit. If there is a limit, follow the limitless, it is almost over! I didn't know that what the sage said has been misinterpreted so far. This is the "familiar reading" of Yiguo. classic'?"

What?Seeing the ministers of East Yu Kingdom couldn't stop laughing, Bagcha felt bad. He was not as proficient in the culture of East Yu Kingdom as his entourage. Someone whispered an explanation in his ear, and Bagcha's face turned purple. , where is the face to ask questions?But he was not willing to end up like this, he had a flash of inspiration and said: "I am here this time, and there are a few brave men in the accompanying party. I heard that the Marquis of your country is the most powerful general in the world. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

There was silence again.

Seeing the courtiers of the East Yu Kingdom lower their heads one after another, Bagcha couldn't help but feel complacent. Who doesn't know that the emperor of the East Yu Kingdom has been afraid of Zhen Guohou for many years?Marquis Zhen Guo was not in Shangjing at this time, so he had no way to give him advice. This request would not lose face, and it would also be able to respond to the East Yu Kingdom. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, there were also those alert courtiers at the table. They noticed that the emperor's attitude towards the Zhen Guohou's residence seemed to have changed recently, so they took this opportunity to sneak a peek and try to prove it. Unfortunately, the lights were dim, and no one could see the emperor's expression clearly.

Only Li Shiquan got close, and he found that the emperor was looking at the next Concubine De, and Concubine De nodded indistinctly. He was thinking about the meaning in his heart, so he heard the emperor say: "The Marquis of Zhenguo is far in the northwest, I can't do it." fulfill your requirement."

"No problem—"

"However, Marquis Zhen Guo still has a son who stays in Beijing, and he is also at the table today." Zui Miaojun smiled lightly: "Tang Qian, I will let you take the school exam."

"Respect!"

According to Bagcha's prestige, he was actually a boy in his early ten years old, whose height might reach his chest.

"..." Could it be that the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom wanted to take the opportunity to make Zhen Guohou's mansion lose face?Even... extinction?After all, swords have no eyes in the martial arts arena!Bagcha looked at the strange looks of the officials at the banquet, and became more and more sure of the guess that the emperor wanted to kill someone with a knife.

However, after the brave man in his mouth lost three times in a row, Bagcha realized how naive he was.Although Tang Qian is young and thin, he is born with supernatural powers. He can lift a man weighing more than two hundred catties with one hand. Not only that, he can recognize acupoints very accurately, and can immobilize the enemy in an instant. With such a fall on the ground, he threw the three big men back into the Yi Kingdom Mission...

At this time, Bagcha finally realized the meaning of "strangeness" of the ministers belatedly. It was a mixture of accident and pity. It was unexpected that the emperor would agree to let Tang Qian play on the stage to make a face for the Marquis of Zhenguo; "Warriors", after all, the ignorant are fearless...

Yiguo suffered repeated setbacks, and Bagcha said dejectedly, "You are worthy of being a young hero. I don't know who I learned from?"

He originally thought that the young man would be taught by Zhen Guohou himself. As long as the young man admits, he can secretly change his concept. After all, it is not shameful to lose to Zhen Guohou. Paper.

Unexpectedly, the other party said in a crisp voice: "My sister is much better than me."

"Who?!" Bagcha collapsed.

"It's my concubine De." It was that noble voice that answered him.

"..."

Li Shiquan saw that the emperor looked so honorable, and thought to himself, is it really empathy?
The heart of the emperor, the needle of the sea!
Originally, they came here to show off their prestige, but the envoys from the Yi Kingdom, who were beaten to shame, were naturally unwilling to stay longer. They quickly asked Honglu Temple to return to the country.

"This time, what should I reward? Do you care about it?" The emperor asked in the Jinluan Hall.

Prince Rui came out and said, "This time the Yi country has ulterior motives in paying tribute. It can be seen that the hearts of the people in the Yi country are fluctuating. It is better to reward thousands of taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, brocade clothes, and precious beauties. To enrich the people and to conquer them.”

"Impossible."

The emperor threw out four words and said: "There is a catastrophe in the west, hunger is everywhere, and the people are still eating grass. Now that the treasury is not abundant, the disaster relief is barely enough. Prince Rui actually wants me to reward other countries with real gold and silver? The Yi country only pays tribute. How many jins? How many taels? My country gives money to others, so who is in charge? Prince Rui is so generous, why don’t you let the Prince’s House help you?”

All the ministers thought for a moment: Yes, our life is not easy, why should we insist on maintaining face?
Prince Rui looked embarrassed and annoyed, he didn't know what to do, someone helped him and asked: "Can you reward poems, calligraphy, paintings, and classics for the sake of enlightenment?"

Zui Miaojun glanced at him, and felt that this person was quite familiar, and remembered that it was Cao Zhidong who was "struck by lightning", Huiyuan whom she despised.Unexpectedly, he voted for Prince Rui, and he was able to enter and leave the court in a short time.

"Extravagance and waste." Zui Miaojun spit out four words again, "As far as I know, Aiqing is also from a poor family, don't you know how expensive books are? I think there were many people in your classmates who couldn't afford books. ?”

Liu Shuping also said: "That's wrong. In the past, the Mang Kingdom admired the civilization of our Eastern Yu Kingdom. Not only the clothing and court system were all imitated from their own country, but even the Mang Kingdom's palace was built after the Shangjing Imperial City. Even so, they Don’t forget to invade the country, and have crossed the border several times, if not for the good generals in the country, I don’t know how many cities and ponds I lost.”

"Exactly." Wei Han came out at the same time: "For barbarians, barbarism has been engraved into their bones. They will not be educated by saints, but will develop a greedy heart. Once they are allowed to grasp the essence of their own civilization, it will be even more difficult. dealt with."

Prince Rui listened to the discussions of the ministers, as if every word was slapped on his face, he glared at Cao Zhidong, his heart became more depressed, and he said stiffly: "I don't know what the emperor wants to give?"

In the Siyi Pavilion, Bagcha was drinking to soothe his sorrows. Perhaps the reward from the Eastern Yu Kingdom was the only thing that could soothe his soul.

It's a pity that things backfired. In previous years, when they left, they would always take gold, silver, jewelry, and ceramic brocades that were several times the value of the tributes. But this time, they took a whole cart away... The quintessence of the country?
——Jade sparrow cards, hardcover story books, "general" crickets, "king" cockfights, etc. There are countless, and the theater troupe selected by the emperor is also attached.

Both exquisite, and not the least bit affordable.

Bagcha sighed, Dongyu Kingdom became more and more difficult to fool, he picked up a copy of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", and slowly flipped through it...

According to the textual research of later generations, there are Taoist temples and fairy gates everywhere in the city, and the emperors from generation to generation asked for immortals and medicines, until the government was abandoned and the people were in dire straits. Perhaps this story originated from this story.

Of course, that's all for later...

Youth Palace.

Lu Qingshuang lay on the bed and sobbed softly. She had been out of her mind for the past few days, and frequently recalled the embarrassment at the palace banquet. Every time she thought about it, she couldn't hold back her tears.If she hadn't made a lot of money earlier, just the consumption of these few days would have turned her points into negative numbers!
The mission that had never gone wrong before failed repeatedly, and the emperor's favorability also made her wonder, when did it start?Is it because of Concubine De?She asked the system, but the system always refused to answer and just issued tasks coldly.

A prey that was already trapped in her net can break through the net and become a butterfly again. Thinking about her previous self-confidence, it is really ridiculous. How can the emperor be so easy to control?But she no longer wanted to put down her figure for him, so she catered to him...

"Your Majesty, don't cry." Chen Xiang stepped forward to persuade her, she was punished by the emperor last time, and she has been trembling lately, always afraid that someone would watch her and find out her identity.But she was ordered by Prince Yu Rui, no matter how timid she was, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and do things for him. At this time, seeing no one around, she whispered: "This is a letter from the prince."

Lu Qingshuang was overjoyed and said, "Bring it here!"

She read it carefully, seeing the soft words of comfort in the letter as usual, the sadness in her heart turned into honey, sweet, with a hint of grievance.Seeing Jiulang saying that the emperor refuted his face in the court, she felt that the emperor's face was disgusting, and lamented that she and Prince Rui had the same disease and sympathy, and she was a little dazed for a while.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

"System, if another person becomes the emperor, you will still help me, right?"

"……right."

After being stunned, Lu Qingshuang suddenly smiled, her beauty seemed to be poisonous, she said to Chen Xiang: "I will send you a letter later, and I will give it to Prince Rui on my behalf."

Feng Zhang, since you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Since you are the emperor of the Raiders, it doesn't matter whoever is the emperor!
