MTL - Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role-Chapter 99 Your Majesty's Treat
Shi Yan's night view of the sky is very accurate. He said that it will rain on the third day. When I woke up this morning, the sky was gloomy. The water vapor in the air was very thick. .
Liu Quan couldn't take a rest anymore, so he and Wang An joined forces. Before dawn, he led someone to hold a torch, and finally moved all the grain into the warehouse before the rain fell on the ground.
Shi Yan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. It was a little stuffy with a slight breeze. He felt that when the rain fell at noon, it was very suitable to have a table in the porch.
When the soup base in the pot was bubbling, raindrops crashed down, and all the hustle and bustle between heaven and earth dissipated in an instant, leaving only a refreshing coolness.
In the past, the restlessness in people's hearts seemed to be washed away by this rain.
When Shi Yan was about to fish out the mutton from the pot, Wang An and Liu Quan came in with a bucket hat and a cold air.
The two of them were also welcome. They took off their bamboo hats and sat in their respective positions. Without saying a word, they grabbed the meat from the pot with Shi Yan. The only few cabbage leaves were pitifully left unattended and became oil-absorbing. seasoning.
When the meat in the pot was divided among the three, Wang An smiled and said to Shi Yan, "Boss, all the food has gone into the warehouse, and I just went around the field before it rained, and it was clean. Guaranteed not to waste a single ear of wheat!"
However, Liu Quan mentioned another matter: "There was news from the capital that in the early morning today, His Majesty ordered on the spot that the second prince be confined to the ancestral mansion, and the fifth prince was named a prince, and the fief was in the most prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River.
The third prince was established as the prince, and the rest of the princes all went out of the palace to build the mansion. There was no objection from the courtiers for such a big move. Boss, did something special happen in the court? "
Shi Yan didn't answer and asked, "Why do you ask like that?"
Liu Quan suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "I heard that before the second prince, His Majesty sent the Dingbei Prince's family to the sect's mansion, and said some unpleasant things."
Shi Yan also followed Liu Quan's example and whispered, "What did you say?"
"It is said that since the second prince is of one mind with King Dingbei and helps King Dingbei to usurp the throne, let's accompany King Dingbei to meet and fall in love with each other in the ancestral mansion!
I think this thing is quite reliable. In this dynasty, even if the general clan rebelled, it would be a place to be blocked and the whole family would be banned. Entering the clan's mansion is indeed more serious. "Liu Quan touched
Chin analysis.
Shi Yan immediately slapped Liu Quan on the back of the head: "Where did you find this? You can even find out what His Majesty said to the second prince in private. Are you reliable?"
In fact, Shi Yan knew in his heart that this matter was probably reliable, and the news could be spread so quickly, maybe there was a hint from His Majesty.
Liu Quan was unconvinced and wanted to continue arguing with Shi Yan, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance today, because there was a sudden decree from the palace, and the usual **** with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this time he was even more enthusiastic when he saw Shi Yan.
"Uncle, Your Majesty's oral order declares you to enter the palace and have lunch with His Majesty!"
Shi Yan looked at the bubbling pot, reached out and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the oil stains on his mouth. Under the heavy rain, he got on the carriage in the palace and followed the **** who passed the order all the way into the palace.
Very coincidentally, when Shi Yan entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was also a table full of dishes in the hall. The pot on the table was bubbling. are exactly the same.
It was the recipe Shi Yan gave to the imperial kitchen.
The emperor's figure was much lighter than some time ago, and he was staring at the bubbling pot in a daze. The people around were trembling, and no one dared to come forward to remind him.
The emperor raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and saw that Shi Yan was already standing in front of him.
Without saying anything about the greeting, the emperor pointed to the opposite position: "Sit!"
Shi Yan was not hypocritical. Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood and didn't want to be a punching bag, he sat down and picked up his chopsticks and put dishes into the pot, picking out what he liked.
After the vegetables were cooked, a very unceremonious person fished half of them into two bowls, pushed the emperor's bowls over, and ate with their heads down.
The emperor, who was in a bad mood, laughed at Shi Yan's behavior, kicked Shi Yan's calf under the table, and began to find fault: "Min Anbo, you are really rude, I don't know that I have to wait for me to move my chopsticks first. ?"
Shi Yan slowly swallowed a mouthful of the fat cow and said in his heart, "This is a good thing. I've only eaten it twice in the few years I've been in the capital. Of course, I have to seize the opportunity to eat it.
Gradually, he picked up the handkerchief by the table and wiped his mouth, then coaxed the emperor like he was coaxing An An Miao, "Your Majesty, can you be reasonable? My minister is having lunch at home.
After eating half of it, it is not up or down, when your appetite is lifted, and you are hungry and uncomfortable, you summon your ministers to the palace for dinner. Listen to how loud the rain is outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony and how cold the weather is! The few mouthfuls I ate were already digested!
This road can be described as hungry and cold, hungry and cold.
Are you waiting for the New Year without eating? I have a meal with you
, if you suddenly want to pay attention to those false etiquette, you must give the minister a signal in advance! "
The emperor was irritated by Shi Yan and pointed at Shi Yan without saying anything. He buried his head and ate the half bowl of vegetable dipping sauce that Shi Yan had given him, before he had time to ask Shi Yan, "That's not right, What you give me is not what I like to eat! You are disrespectful!"
Shi Yan got on a plate of fat beef, and when he heard the words, he gave the emperor a pair of chopsticks: "Isn't this obvious? The ones chosen by the minister must be the ones that the minister likes to eat!
If you invite your minister to eat, and you want your minister to choose what you like to eat, what's the point of eating this meal? Why don't you invite a few courtiers who can speak good words to have a meal together! At least they can say nice things to make you happy, don't they? "
The emperor pointed at Shi Yan with his chopsticks angrily: "You won't give up if you're not so angry, will you? I won't let you do what you want! Come on, serve me! Bring me all the dishes in front of Min Anbo!
Yes, especially the plate of fat beef, half chopsticks are not allowed! Put the dish that he hasn't touched with chopsticks before in front of him! I'm going to see if he eats what he likes! "
Shi Yan shrugged, he was almost full by the end of the meal, and there were a few others who ate with the emperor.
The atmosphere relaxed unconsciously, and all the palace people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were relieved.
When the emperor was angry, he couldn't hold back his food, and it was raining outside again, so Shi Yan made his own decision to have two cups of Xiaoshi tea: "Your Majesty's kindness is difficult, but I just ate a little too much, so please give my father-in-law two cups of Xiaoshi tea. "It's cold outside, so the tea should be hot!"
So one person had a cup of tea, and the two moved their positions, leaning crookedly on the couch in the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, the emperor suddenly said: "I am a little sad, although I am not very affectionate towards my sons.
But since they were five years old, they have invited the most prestigious ministers in the DPRK to teach them to read and teach them the rites of passage.
It was almost during the period when the scribes met the ministers and discussed important matters in the DPRK, and took the time to supervise the sons' homework, hoping that one day in the future, when they grew up, they would be open-minded and tolerant.
Even if the other children do not sit in my position, they can have their own hobbies and do what they like.
Over the years, I have never slackened, and I personally thought that even if my sons felt that I was too strict as a father and could not get close to me, they should have some sincere respect for me, but I didn’t expect…”
Shi Yan remembered what Liu Quan said at noon, the third prince became the prince, the second prince entered the ancestral mansion, and only the fifth prince was named prince alone.
And with the wealthy fiefs, the rest of the bald princes were directly driven out of Gongjianfu.
This is a very dangerous topic.
Ignoring the emperor's troubles, he only looked at the foggy and unreal sky outside with more sad eyes than the emperor and said: "Where is there a certain number on the matter of children? Some children's temperament is like being beaten from birth. It's like it's given by God, no matter how hard we work as fathers, how much we sacrifice, what should grow crooked will always grow crooked where we can't see it, and it's not at all possible."
The emperor instantly remembered the **** of Shi Yan's family, and felt a bit of a sense of superiority in his heart: Although my second son joined forces with King Dingbei to force the palace to rebel, but at least my third son is filial, brave and resourceful. Without revealing it, I saw that something was wrong, and came to the rescue with all my life.
Although the fifth son was naive and ignorant, last year he drove his horse into Min'anbo's crops to eat alfalfa, but the child was pure filial piety, knowing that there was a fallout outside and it might be dangerous to leave the house, so he dared to cry and enter the palace to protect his father. , I don't even want to be my father's shield at the critical moment, and he is also a good boy.
The emperor comforted himself like this miraculously, and his mood changed from cloudy to sunny in an instant. Looking at the rain curtain outside, it was no longer cold and damp, but poetic.
Suddenly he burst out laughing twice, stood up, and instructed left and right: "Bring a pen and paper, I want to paint!"
The **** Gong E Qiqi in the palace exclaimed the magic in her heart: Your Majesty has been in a bad mood for the past few days. This morning, he called someone a censor who said something wrong. Recently, cabinet ministers came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony very carefully and carefully .
Or Min Anbo has a way, His Majesty finally smiled.
Shi Yan didn't care what the emperor thought, he was happy and sad for a while, he just lay down and enjoyed the maid's massage, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Just when he was full and drowsy after being served, someone gently pushed him on the shoulder: "You are quite comfortable? When the prince came to me, he was not as heartless and wanting to sleep as you were. asleep!"
Shi Yan replied casually: "That's great! If His Royal Highness, like his ministers, doesn't seek to make progress, doesn't want to make progress, and only thinks about eating, drinking and drinking all day, our country will not be finished!"
The emperor patted Shi Yan on the shoulder neither lightly nor heavy: "You dare to say anything, it's fine to say this in front of me, don't tell anyone else, otherwise I will have no face to protect you!
Come on, what about my painting? Anyway, you are still looking for flowers, come on, mention a word! Let the monarch and minister cooperate today and spread the word
Also a good story. "
Shi Yan didn't take up the writing at all, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you forgot that my high school essay that day did not win with gorgeous rhetoric and brilliant literary talent, it was better than true feelings and reasoning, you Do you think Chen is good at reciting poetry and composing music?"
The emperor choked, waved his hand and said: "I really can't know anything but eat, what's the use of asking you?"
Shi Yan answered without any hesitation: "Of course it's to accompany you to eat and chat! What else can you do?"
His Royal Highness, who was waiting outside, was very surprised when he heard the movement inside. He gently summoned a small **** and asked softly, "The person inside is Min Anbo?"
The little **** nodded affirmatively: "Your Majesty is enjoying the scenery and painting with Min Anbo, do you want slaves to pass the information on your behalf?"
The prince shook his head: "No need, there is nothing urgent for me, just wait here, the father is in a good mood, don't disturb him."
After thinking about it for a while, the crown prince still couldn't help but ask: "Min Anbo, has he, he and his father been getting along like this all the time?"
Even the prince can't ask anything about things around the emperor. If you ask, you will be suspected of spying on the emperor's tracks. The prince has done well in the past, but the impact of this scene on him is too great, and he regrets asking.
But this little **** seemed to have received permission from someone, and told the prince with a smile: "Your Majesty and Min Anbo are like father and son, like good friends. Your Majesty once said that Min Anbo is the most transparent person he has ever met.
It is very simple for a wise person to see through the world, but after seeing it through, it is very rare to be able to maintain a pure heart to believe in the world. "
In the side hall, the emperor thought hard and came up with a limerick. With a wave of the pen, he inscribed it on the painting, a picture of mist and rain with far-reaching artistic conception, accompanied by a strange limerick, casually describing his own private life. The seal is on the left, and the emperor is satisfied.
And he said generously: "I don't have anything good for you here today. I reluctantly parted with this painting, you can take it away!"
Having said that, when Shi Yan left, he still took a lot of bags with him, and he couldn't carry it all by himself. The emperor also specially assigned a small **** to help him carry things.
By the way, he pulled Shi Yan and said a few words, "You don't want to be involved in the affairs of the imperial court, so it's fine now.
The magistrate of Jingyuan County committed a crime and the whole family was exiled. Now there is a lack of magistrates there. You see, someone you know well recommends one in the same year. "
Shi Yan shook his head: "I didn't know each other well in the same year. If I knew each other, I wouldn't be able to enter the palace to chat with you, right? But to talk about the right person, what do you think of the good friend of the minister, Mr. Zhou Lide, Mr. Zhou?
celebrate
In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, there is nothing to say about his character. He is also familiar with Jingyuan County and has a good reputation in the local area. The only problem is that he is older. "
The emperor said: "Look back and write a recommendation letter, age is not a problem, there is a transition period."
After speaking, he remembered one more thing, and said impatiently: "Dingbei King was imprisoned for treason, and the case is still in the process of trial. Although your Li Tiezhu doesn't know anything, he made Mingyue's belly bigger, and the two of them have nothing to do with each other. The matchmaker is cowardly, I find it annoying, and throw all the people into the ancestral house, and the trial will not be completed in a while, so you can go and have a look when you have time."
Shi Yan: There are too many grooves and no mouth, so I can find the best entry point for not complaining for a while.
