It has been less than a month since the martial arts academy examination, and the weather has changed from warm to irritating heat. Perhaps it was for this reason that his majesty moved out of Dongnuan Pavilion early this year and lived in Changchun Garden 20 miles away from Taiji palace.
Changchun Garden is shaded with green trees. The emperor will move here every midsummer. This is not a strange thing, but this year the emperor moved in a month earlier than in previous years, which is a little thought-provoking. In their spare time, the ministers inevitably talked about it, but no one could think of what made the emperor's heart dry and hot earlier than summer, so they had to move to Changchun Garden to be clean.
The emperor really needs to be clean, because he finds his heart more and more restless.
He himself knew why, but perhaps he would not completely calm down until the day it happened. After 11 years of succession, the ambitious emperor was finally about to move the knife in his hand.
"Su Buwei"
Leaning against the wall of the earth Kang, the emperor pointed to the tea cup on the table in front of him and said, "you've been getting lazier and lazier lately. Add me tea."
Su Buwei didn't dare to remind him that his majesty just said he didn't need to add more tea. He hurriedly poured out the tea, changed it for new tea and made it again.
"Your Majesty is tired?"
He asked cautiously.
The emperor closed his eyes and rubbed his wrinkled eyebrows. Well, he was silent for a while and said, "go and find Cen. Her massage technique can't be compared with others. I don't know whether she suffered some wind last night or came early. She didn't adapt to the coolness in Changchun Garden. Her shoulders and back hurt."
"I'll go now."
Su Buwei hurriedly turned to leave, but the emperor shook his head slightly and said, "after such a thing, let the following people do it. You, a eunuch with a pen in the imperial study, do some errands all day. When it comes out, you are not afraid that others say you are incompetent and won't resist the emperor. Just order the following people to go. I have something to ask you."
"Here"
Su Buwei went out and ordered the little eunuch to invite Mr. Cen. He hurried back to the house and stood down.
The emperor rubbed his temples and asked, "is there any news from the martial arts field outside the city? I told you to report the results first."
Su Buwei hurriedly said, "no news has been sent in. The last competition of the top three ranking in the martial arts academy is limited to three days. Today is only the first day. It shouldn't come out so soon."
The emperor looked at the sky outside the window and nodded: "It's getting dark. I don't think we can fight today. Those three guys are all human beings, and none of them will rush to fight first. But President Zhou's idea this time is good, and I like it. The Sui Dynasty has never lacked generals who can fight well, but there are not many people who can really see the overall situation at a glance. Some people say that Xu Xiaogong was promoted by me to be a general by virtue of his seniority and family background. That's what they say It's all caused by jealousy. Those who can't see Xu Xiaogong's talent are all mediocre. "
"In my opinion, the general of the 16th guard of the great Sui Dynasty can see the overall situation most thoroughly and clearly. In addition to Xu Xiaogong, there is only one Luo Yao who can make sense. As for others, there are brave and resourceful, but his vision is inevitably limited. His eyes only see one line and can't see the whole face."
Su is not afraid to talk about such a topic.
The emperor smiled, waved his hand and said, "if you don't say this, I'm tired of folding today. You want to tell me a joke. If you say it well, I'll reward you."
"Here"
Su Buwei replied, pondered for a moment and said: "It's hard for me to think of a joke to amuse your majesty for a moment and a half. I don't have many things in my stomach. Let's talk about my childhood... I remember that I was only seven or eight years old and it was midsummer. I had nothing to do to dig a cicada under the tree. When I met an old man, I told my maid that the cicada would have to lie dormant underground for at least three years before it could transform into a cicada and shake its wings Chirp. The maid didn't believe it at that time, but later she knew it was true. It's not easy for this humble little thing to cry loudly and hold its strength underground for three years. "
He said with a smile, looked up at the emperor, but found that the emperor's face did not know when it became cold, so he quickly knelt down.
"I can't tell jokes, your majesty. Forgive me."
"You can't say that. Who taught you that?"
The emperor asked coldly.
Su Buwei's body trembled slightly, hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, "it was taught by the leader of huaiqiugong, the Minister of rites. The old man said that his Majesty was upset and impatient, and he was not in a hurry after listening to the slave girl. The slave girl didn't understand this. She just felt that the old man was also kind, and the slave girl didn't dare to say a word more or less."
After a moment of silence, the emperor said with a long sigh of relief: "Get up, I don't blame you... The old guy didn't dare to come and tell me, but let you carry the black pot... I'm not a cicada monkey. I've been holding back for more than three years, but for 11 years. If it's not the time, I'll hold back for another 11 years... You go back and tell Huai Qiugong that I want to cure him of his disrespect and let him climb over and solve it by himself Release. "
Seeing that the emperor's tone of voice eased, Su Buwei's heart became more secure. However, his admiration for huaiqiu Gong became stronger and stronger. The old man once said that his majesty is a Mingjun, and he will never blame the people below for this.
"Go and get ready. I'll go to the martial arts arena in person after tomorrow morning. Don't tell me. Just let Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji go with me. Yu Xiao, the son of Yu manlou, the general of zuowuwei, Luo Wen, the son of Luo Yao, the general of zuowavantgarde, and Li Fubo, the nephew of Li Yuanshan, the general of youxiaowei. All three are rare heroes who happen to be on this joint... I want to have a look Are the three of them really worthy of use? "
……
……
At the top three competition in the martial arts academy, Yang Yin ended and gasped: "there are several martial arts masters with good boxing and foot skills in the house, which are used by the house guard. Gu also learned some moves with them when he has nothing to do. It's difficult to get started. There are still some effects on strengthening his body."
Zhou banchuan said well, and he didn't know why there was a strange flash in his eyes.
Yang Yin's face changed slightly when he hung his head to end, but he soon recovered calm.
Xu Xiaogong's face was flat, but his heart was shocked.
Zhou banchuan rubbed his nose, got up, apologized and said it was convenient to go. Xu Xiaogong stood up and said I would go with you, and asked Yang Yin if he would go with him. Yang Yin waved his hand and said, why are you two military men not as good as Gu? You can't hold your urine when a pot of tea goes down. Do you want to introduce Gu to a famous doctor for conditioning? When he finished this sentence, the three couldn't help laughing.
Zhou banchuan and Xu Xiaogong left the viewing platform. After they left, Yang Yin immediately turned back and whispered a few words to a beautiful maid nearby. The maid, um, left quickly.
In the toilet, Xu Xiaogong sighed and whispered, "it's not a mistake to make friends, but if you make too many Wulin people... You're afraid of being caught."
Zhou banchuan untied his pants, sprinkled a long bubble of Sao yellow urine, and said after a comfortable groan: "it's just that he's really free to play. Hou Wenji's cruel guy should worry about it. What's your worry? Did you eat salty or light breakfast?"
Xu Xiaogong smiled and was scolded, but he was not unhappy at all.
"Ten years ago, Prince Yi was not like this."
He said while lifting his pants, "at that time, he was sharp and fast like a horizontal knife."
"The blade is too fast. It hurts others or yourself."
Zhou banchuan tidied up his clothes and walked out: "make a bet?"
"What?"
"Are there few people?"
"There must be fewer, four beauties. There are only three left."
Zhou banchuan stared at Xu Xiaogong and said, "it's boring. Playing stupid can suffocate you?"
Xu Xiaogong said seriously, "don't pretend to be stupid... Pretend to be stupid and lose money."
At this time, a soldier hurried over from the observation platform and said eagerly: "my Lord, general... Your majesty is here!"
……
……
On the official road leading to Chang'an South City more than ten miles away from the martial arts arena, that is, in the seeing off Pavilion 30 miles away from Chang'an South City, Wu, the richest man of the Sui Dynasty in sapphire blue royal clothes, seemed to sit leisurely in the pavilion to taste tea, but in fact there was a trace of irrecoverable eagerness in his eyes.
"When did the lady say she would arrive?"
He asked a fat middle-aged man around him. He was fatter and shorter than Xiang qingniu. If he walked in the street, it looked like a ball of meat rolling from a distance. Because he is too fat, it is not easy to find eyes on his face.
Such a fat man is naturally uncomfortable in such weather.
Obviously fat and too short, but this guy also wore a novel moon white Confucian gown. I'm sorry to put this expensive dress on him. Moon white clothes have long been soaked with sweat, and their backs have turned egg yellow.
"Sir, I got a definite letter this morning. Miss is less than 60 miles away from Chang'an city. According to the truth... According to the truth, it should be coming soon."
"I spent a lot of money to put her into qingleshan Yiqi temple, but she stamped her foot and ran back. How long do I have to work hard to earn such a large sum of money? I've sent it out. Can I still go to the ox nose to get the money back? It's a loss."
Wu Yidao said with a look of chagrin.
The fat housekeeper, whose name is wine and sex wealth, whispered and corrected, "it's gold."
Wine, lust, wealth, no gas.
It seems that he is indeed a fat and kind man who won't make him angry.
"Coming, coming!"
The fat man pointed to the official way and said in surprise, "miss is back."
Wu Yi hurriedly got up, walked quickly and said fiercely, "it's not easy at all. See how I teach her!"
"The great master is mighty!"
The fat housekeeper didn't forget to flatter.
But when he saw the fine beads of sweat on the only daughter Wu Yinyu's forehead and the tip of her nose, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty immediately took out his handkerchief and handed it over: "it's hot. There's sour plum soup in the pavilion. Do you want to have a drink to moisten your throat?"
Wu Yinyu wiped the sweat on her forehead, glanced at the pavilion and said coldly, "do you want me to go and get it by myself?"
"I'll come, I'll come, of course."
Wu Yi hurried back and trotted to get sour plum soup.
"The eldest lady is powerful!"
The fat man immediately straightened his chest and praised, "it's really powerful."
