ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 106 "The Storm in the Imperial Dining Room"

The emperor looked at the bucket of ginger mountain that Lin Ahzhen sent, and he couldn't help admiring his little cleverness. All the ministers were weak and silent, and the emperor raised his old mouth and shouted at the crowd: "During lunch, everyone loves you!" And go home and reunite with your family."

When he said this, all the officials let out a sigh of relief. The noisy morning court was finally coming to an end, and Ah Zhen was the happiest.The old man of the emperor was trembling for so long and could finally go home and have a good meal, and then take a nice nap with Wan'er in his arms, his face burst into laughter at the thought.

"Chungang arrived and I sympathize with Zhu Sangong and Jiuqing for their hard work, so let's stay in the palace for lunch." The emperor looked at the crowd and said again when he saw that they were returning home like an arrow.

When the old man said this, all the three princes and nine ministers knelt down on the ground in great joy and shouted together: "Thank you, my emperor, for the meal, I am afraid." The ministers retreated one by one.

What the emperor said really came as he wished. Seeing Lin Aiqing's expression of reluctance, he raised his mouth and sighed, this kid really avoids his palace like a snake, but in his eyes, the gift seems to require him to drink poison Generally speaking, but because of this, he wanted to keep him more and more.After thinking about it, the old man of the emperor was very happy and said to the three lords and nine ministers below: "All loves, go to the imperial dining room first, and I want to have a drink with all the loves."

After saying this, of course, the long live of the ministers continued.

Ah Zhen was just about to turn around and leave when he saw that the emperor wanted to keep them for dinner, damn it!Left and right hesitated, what's the point of eating with the old man's old face, and eating with his Wan'er and Yun'er is a pleasure.But the skirt was tightly held by Liu Wanyang, Liu Wanyang warned with wide eyes, as if he was about to tear him into pieces as soon as he turned around and left, he murmured and stopped in the hall until the emperor left, A group of talents were led by the eunuch to the imperial dining room.

When they stepped into the imperial dining room, Ah Zhen was stunned. He saw that the imperial dining room was magnificent and golden. There was a huge square table in the center of the hall, and the table was covered with a yellow cloth.There are five round tables neatly arranged under the huge square table, and the tables are covered with red cloth.As soon as he saw it, he knew that the huge square was where the emperor sat, because there was only one big chair.Those five round tables must have been seated by these ministers and the emperor's family members.

Ah Zhen opened his mouth wide and never expected that the old man of the emperor would even have a meal in such a grand style. He really stinks of wine and meat from a wealthy family, and the road is frozen to death.

"Wan Yang, where shall we sit?" Seeing this, Ah Zhen couldn't tell where to sit. The top table must not be able to sit, and the bottom five tables are in a five-shaped shape. He has never eaten in the palace. Where? Understand the rules of eating in this palace.

"Come..." Seeing his doubts, Liu Wanyang pulled him to choose one of the last two tables and sat down. All the seats in the last two tables were filled by the three officials and nine ministers.

"No way, let's sit at the end?" Ah Zhen saw the three empty tables in front of him, and suddenly felt dissatisfied, very, very dissatisfied.

Seeing the little brother's displeased expression, Liu Wanyang said, "The three seats in front are for the emperor's concubines and princes and princesses."

"I might as well go home for dinner." Ah Zhen felt very upset when he heard what Liu Wanyang said.

Seeing him, Liu Wanyang murmured and squeezed his hand tightly: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense."

"Hum..." Seeing Liu Wanyang's frightened look, Ah Zhen snorted lightly and stopped talking.Lao Tzu has worked so hard, and King Chagel is not as good as those useless princes and sons, so he is really angry.

Sullen, he suddenly heard a mother shouting from outside: "The emperor is here." Then the old man who was surrounded by eunuchs and maids couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Behind the old man was a large group of princes, princesses, and concubines.

Seeing the emperor coming, everyone stood up from their seats in an instant. Liu Wanyang saw that the little brother next to him was still sitting in the old god, and immediately pulled him up with a big hand.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live" all the officials shouted together.

"Your loves are free of courtesy. I know that your love is like an arrow, but I just don't want your love to leave. My love, please don't blame me." The old man smiled hypocritically and said to everyone.

Everyone immediately knelt together in fear and shouted: "My humble minister, thank you Lord Long En!"

"Alright, alright, get up." The emperor laughed loudly and shouted.

A very soft but very clear humming sounded in the ears of everyone, and the faces of everyone in the hall immediately changed drastically. When the old man of the emperor was about to walk to his dining table, he stopped when he heard the humming, and turned his head suspiciously. Come on, I quickly locked my eyes on Ah Zhen, and even after thinking about it, I knew that the only person in the world who dared to hum him was definitely this kid.

As soon as Liu Wanyang stood up from the ground, he heard the snort from the little brother next to him, his face turned pale with fright, and when he raised his eyes to see the eyes of the emperor Ling Li, he was even more frightened and cold.

"Does Lin Aiqing have any dissatisfaction with me?" The emperor looked at Ah Zhen with Ling Li's eyes, this kid dared to hum him in front of everyone, it was so ignorant.

Seeing the emperor's attention salute, Ah Zhen was startled, and she waved her hands with a smile and said: "No, I hummed just now because my nose was blocked, and now it works." In front of so many people, you can't Don't give this old man face, or the consequences will be serious.

Hearing what he said, the emperor relaxed his face, sat down on his dining table and said, "Young ladies, sit down." After speaking, everyone immediately filled up the five tables.

Soon a group of eunuchs came over one after another holding exquisite jade dishes. Ah Zhen was in an unhappy mood, but when he saw these exquisite delicacies, he burst into laughter from ear to ear.Liu Wanyang next to him sighed secretly when he saw this, the speed at which this little brother changed his face was extremely fast.

"I said Wan Yang, why is there a roast suckling pig on the emperor's table, but we don't have it here?" Ah Zhen asked curiously while holding a leg of lamb that he gnawed so that there was no meat.

Originally, as soon as the banquet started, before all the ministers at the same table moved, Ah Zhen stuffed those refined jade delicacies into their mouths. Everyone was stunned when they saw this, but now they heard him ask why they There was no roast suckling pig on the table, so I was dumbfounded.Who is not trembling when you come to eat in the palace? Who dares to be like this master who grabs the leg of lamb with his left hand and the steak with his right. With his mouth full of unchoked things, he is still not satisfied and asks why there is no roast suckling pig.

Liu Wanyang saw that his hands were greasy, and he was about to spit out what was stuffed in his mouth.My stomach felt nauseous, and now hearing his question again, I couldn't turn my head and stared blankly at him.

"What? Could it be that this dish hasn't been served yet?" After Ah Zhen choked on the things stuffed in his mouth, seeing Liu Wanyang stunned, he couldn't help but raise his voice slightly.

All of a sudden, everyone in the hall, including the emperor, paid attention to him. The princes, princesses, and concubines saw that the great Sima was holding a lamb leg with his left hand and a steak with his right hand. His hands and mouth were even greasy.These grandsons of the emperor have never seen such a scene before. Several concubines and princesses wanted to vomit, but due to the presence of the emperor, their brows were tightly furrowed, which was particularly disgusting to him.

Seeing this boy's appearance, the emperor couldn't help but frowned deeply and asked him: "Lin Aiqing has such a good appetite."

When Ah Zhen was eating comfortably, he heard the emperor suddenly ask him a question, and immediately put down the leg of lamb steak in his hand, his eyes were all over the table and he couldn't find a cloth to wipe his hands.

Liu Wanyang next to him saw the emperor questioning him, he was still sitting with the old god, and his eyeballs were aiming at the table, as if he was looking for his "prey" again, he couldn't help pulling his official uniform impatiently, He whispered: "The emperor is asking you something, get up quickly."

"I know, I know." Ah Zhen searched all over the table but couldn't find a cloth. It's not that he has no ears, he heard the emperor's question a long time ago.He sighed helplessly and stood up, wiping his greasy hands on the saffron Da Sima official uniform on his body.

"You..." the emperor saw that he wiped his greasy hands with his Da Sima official uniform, and suddenly said you, but unfortunately, before you finished speaking, he really wiped it off, and his face suddenly became angry It's all dark.

Everyone in the hall, whether it was the old minister or the princess, couldn't help gasping when they saw that the great Sima was wiping his hands with his official uniform.

"Yes, yes, I wonder why the emperor summoned the humble minister?" Ah Zhen immediately asked the emperor with his hands clasped together after wiping his hands.

"You..." the emperor's old face turned black early in anger, seeing that he still looked like nothing had happened, he slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Bold Lin Azhen, dare to wipe your hands with an official uniform."

The angry slap of the emperor immediately made the hearts of everyone in the hall jump. The group of princes and princesses who did not know Lin Azhen even stared at him in disbelief. The emperor slapped the table angrily. According to the situation, this big Sima should kneel down in fright and beg for mercy now. Why did he stand upright so boldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The emperor's angry reprimand immediately made Ah Zhen confused, and he clasped his fists weakly and asked again: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with this humble minister?"

"Bold, you dare to wipe your hands with my Da Zhou Da Sima official uniform." The emperor was even angrier when he saw that he still looked unclear.

Ah Zhen didn't understand something, but he still pretended to be very confused and replied: "Your Majesty, this minister is the great Sima, right?"

"Bastard, what do you want to say?" Hearing his question, the emperor raised his eyes and asked majestically with his old face.

"Your Majesty, since this humble minister is the great Sima, how can this humble minister be so bold as to use his own things." He acted like I would neither steal nor rob, so why should I let you take care of my own things.

Hearing him say this, the old man was so angry that the top of his head was smoking, "You wiped my big Sima's mansion with your dirty hands, and you can still speak so plausibly, aren't you afraid that I will cut you off?"

"Your Majesty, you are serious." Ah Zhen laughed along with him, as if you don't care so much, old man. , I don’t even let Lao Tzu eat a stable meal.

"You..." the emperor gritted his teeth angrily when he saw his ruffian appearance, and then he thought, that's what he was like in the first place, and that's what he likes, if he's the same as all his ministers, then what's the point.After thinking about it, he calmed down, then shook his head and smiled lightly: "Say, what were you muttering just now?"

When the emperor asked this question, the princes and princesses, down to the old ministers were dumbfounded. Da Sima is so rebellious, wouldn't the emperor cut him off?
Ah Zhen saw that the old man had finally opened the door, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, just now I asked Mr. Taiwei why there is roast suckling pig on the emperor's table, but there is no one on Weichen's table?" With a very greedy look, he sucked his saliva tightly.

When he said this, everyone admired him in their hearts. Others wanted the emperor to reward him, but he actually asked the emperor to ask for it.

Hearing what he said and seeing his gluttonous appearance, the old man of the emperor raised the corners of his mouth immediately, "Isn't Lin Aiqing getting enough?" After speaking, he meaningfully lame the mess in front of his seat.

"Your Majesty, the food you cook is so delicious that I almost swallowed it with my tongue." He looked like a sycophant.

"Hahaha" the emperor laughed heartily when he heard what he said, it was rare for this arrogant Sima to flatter him, and he couldn't hide his happy old face.

Ah Zhen saw the emperor's old man smiling as if he had taken drugs, it seemed that his flattery was well matched in terms of position and strength.

After laughing for a while, the emperor said slightly: "Lin Aiqing, if you write a poem on the spot, I will give you this roast suckling pig."

Everyone couldn't believe what the emperor said, this one, uh!A strange person who can compose poetry?They have all heard that their chief Sima is good at fighting, but can he do such an elegant thing as a warrior?

"Your Majesty, my humble minister can't do it." Before Ah Zhen finished speaking, the Emperor hummed and said, "If Lin Aiqing says she can't compose poetry, I will cut you off." Try it out.

Prime Minister Li Yi, who was at the same table with Ah Zhen, saw Liu Wanyang, who had always been good friends with Da Sima, sitting on a chair, as if he didn't intend to rescue his little brother, gritted his teeth, stood up and cupped his fists to help Ah Zhen. : "Your Majesty, perhaps Da Sima really doesn't know how to compose poems." In the hall just now, he saw the wit of this little brother. If he was really chopped off by the emperor, it would definitely not be the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ah Zhen saw that the old prime minister who looked a lot like Di Renjie came out to help him out, and thanked him again and again in his heart.

When the emperor saw this, Wan Er couldn't help it. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Lin Ah Zhen could compose poetry.

"Prime Minister Yi, please get up." After the emperor waved Li Yi to get up, he stared at the people in the hall with his old eyes. He couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the unbelievable expressions of everyone. Everyone was deceived by him, the big Sima.

As soon as Li Yi stood up, he was pulled back to his seat by Liu Wanyang. Although Li Yi didn't understand Taiwei's actions, it could be seen that he was not worried at all, and was frightened in his heart. Could this Da Sima know how to compose poems?

Seeing that the emperor's heart is as hard as iron, Ah Zhen sighed and asked: "I wonder what kind of poems the emperor wants my minister to write?" After finishing Tang poetry and Song Ci, his head was immediately filled.

Seeing that he gave in, the emperor smiled happily and said, "Lin Aiqing, there is no limit to this question. As long as it is good, I will give you this roast suckling pig."

Ah Zhen was dumbfounded by what the old man said, so there is no limit to the questions?That's too much, and there are so many poems in my mind that I don't know which one to recite for a while.

When everyone saw him, he was stunned, and they couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. What kind of poem does a warrior write with people?

Ah Zhen looked around, seeing the princes and princesses covering their mouths and laughing, all the princesses were beautiful and affectionate, and the poem in his heart came when he saw it.She clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, I see the princesses Douwan's age, and the corners of their mouths are full of affection. Why don't I just recite a vague love poem?"

Hearing what he said, the old man of the emperor was stunned and said: "Damn Sima wants to compose a love poem? I don't know who to give this love poem to?" After he finished speaking, he smiled even more.

Seeing the emperor's question, Ah Zhen raised her hands in shock and said, "No, no, I have a lovely wife and beautiful family members in my family, and they are just writing love poems."

The faces of the princesses blushed at what he said, and the ministers and princes looked like hell, this big Sima is too kind, he dared to moles the princesses in the palace.

"Let's do it first and see, if it's not good, I will never forgive you." The emperor is extremely majestic, this kid dared to moles his princes in front of him, it is really audacious.

"Absolutely good. If it's not good, don't bother the emperor to punish him. My minister wipes his own neck with a knife." Ah Zhen said boldly and joked. He used first-class poems before, so it can't be good.

The emperor nodded. Seeing that he really wanted to compose a poem, everyone waited quietly with their mouths open.

"When we meet, it's hard to say goodbye. The east wind is weak and the flowers are gone. The silkworms in spring will die when they die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry. The mirror at dawn, but the clouds change at the temples, and the moonlight is cold when singing at night. Pengshan has no way to go. , the blue bird is hospitable to visit."

After reciting, everyone's mouths could not be closed for a long time, and regardless of whether the poems were good or not, Da Sima's poems alone fell through everyone's eyes, and they became chapters as soon as they were uttered.

"The spring silkworms will die when the silkworms die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry." The emperor whispered as if recalling some memories, everyone in the huge hall was silent, who didn't have a helpless and hazy first love in their hearts?

"Your Majesty, my minister's poem is very good." Seeing the silence of the crowd, Ah Zhen clasped his fists and shouted loudly, which immediately woke everyone up.

"Okay, okay, Lin Aiqing's love poem is very good, and I will give you this roast suckling pig." The emperor came back to his senses, laughed and waved his hand, and the eunuchs put the heavy roast suckling pig on the plate. on his arm.

Ah Zhen's arms sank, and he watched with great joy that the roasted red suckling pig hurried back to his seat. With a big hand tearing, he immediately tore off a pig's trotter and put it in his mouth.

"Everyone come together, come together." He happily invited the ministers at the same table.

Seeing him like this, everyone felt sick to their stomachs, and politely waved their hands to express their rejection.

All the ministers, princes, princesses, and concubines in the hall originally had some changes in their opinion of their great Sima, but they didn't expect him to tear up the pig's trotters with both hands as soon as he returned to his seat, ignoring everyone's feasting and eating. When he got up, all the praise for him disappeared, and he frowned in disgust.
