Chapter 1723 Tit for tat
The autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River is falling, and the vegetation is still lush. In Guanzhong, all the forests are dyed, and the mountains are withered and yellow.
The rustling autumn wind blows in and out, making the fallen leaves colorful and sad. The wanderer misses his mother and his hometown...
Tai Chi Palace, Dragon Palace.
Although the earth dragon has not been lit, the doors and windows are closed. His Majesty Li Er is wearing a broad robe and kneeling on the ground. His hair is not tied up, but is tied behind his head with a yellow rope. This makes Fang Jun watch. It's quite weird. It seems like I have traveled back a thousand years and returned to modern times. I see girls with ponytails on the streets, or gay "comrades" in the gay world...
In front of him was a carved lacquer coffee table. Chu Suiliang, wearing a broad robe and elegant temperament, was sitting on his knees. He first put the tea leaves into a white porcelain jar with a white jade teaspoon, and then poured in the mountain spring water boiled on the stove. , cover the lid and let it simmer for about three minutes. When you open the lid, a strong aroma of tea will pour out.
Nowadays, the tea ceremony is flourishing, and drinking tea has become an elegant way for people from all walks of life to flaunt their status and show their status. It seems that its endless pleasant charm and the artistic conception of calmness and reflection while drinking tea have become insignificant. Various ways of drinking tea are emerging one after another. Even Fang Jun, the "grandfather of tea", was amazed.
When it comes to showing off, the so-called aristocrats in the West are simply beyond their reach...
Chu Suiliang used a bamboo spoon with a wooden handle to scoop out tea from a porcelain pot, and distributed it one by one to His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun, and the tea cups in front of him.
The tea soup was green, the cup was white and fragrant. Fang Jun took a sip and nodded in praise.
Although the method of making tea is a bit weird, it makes the aroma of the tea more intense and has a special flavor...
When drinking tea, you don’t need to pay too much attention to the quality and taste of the tea. Your mood and artistic conception are the highest state.
His Majesty Li Er obviously admired this method of making tea. He took a sip of tea and thought about it, nodding in praise: "It has a strong aroma and a long aftertaste. It is a bit sweeter than the previous ones. This is created by mountain climbing." The method of making tea can bring out the true flavor of the tea, which is very good, very good.”
Chu Suiliang said modestly: "The tea is good and the water is good, but I dare not take credit for it."
His Majesty Li Er smiled happily and said no more.
There was a reason why he was willing to let Chu Suiliang accompany him. Although Chu Suiliang's character cannot be called a gentleman, he is an intelligent man. Not only is he a master in calligraphy and painting, but he is also proficient in all kinds of fun and fun things, and he often has unexpected joys.
He is a confident emperor, confident that he can control all his ministers, good and evil, loyal and traitorous, but in his eyes, there is no telling what tricks Chu Suiliang will play.
Wei Zheng was a loyal and upright minister that was rare throughout the ages, but with those people by his side all day long, only giving advice and reprimanding him, what fun would there be in being an emperor?
Fang Jun lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, drinking tea and saying nothing.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun, put down the teacup, and said: "Although you are allowed to go to the south of the Yangtze River to command the navy and go north to conquer the Goguryeo navy, but the cold winter is approaching and the sea is dangerous, so it is better not to show off. Goguryeo Water Although the teacher is a hidden danger, it is just a scabies disease, so don’t be greedy for success.”
This is not a warning, but more like a comforting exhortation.
Fang Jun felt warm in his heart and said respectfully: "I will obey your Majesty's will."
Chu Suiliang used a bamboo spoon to add tea to the two of them, and added with a smile: "Your Majesty thought that he was worried about the prince's consort, but in Weichen's opinion, it was unnecessary. The royal navy was created by the prince's prince, and it swept across the seven seas. Invincible, the enemy chiefs and pirates fled in the wind, expecting that How can the few broken ships of the Goguryeo Navy pose a threat to Fang's Prince Consort? If he goes to the south of the Yangtze River to lead the expedition, Fang's Prince Consort will definitely succeed immediately and make a contribution to boost morale for the Eastern Expedition. I am here to drink tea instead of wine. I wish the prince-in-law a victory and return to the court.”
As he spoke, he raised his teacup and looked at Fang Jun with a smile.
If you don’t know, you can really be fooled by the kind and peaceful look on his face...
Fang Jun had a smile on his face and MMP in his heart.
Mother!
Are you familiar with me?
He actually played a trick with me!
Fang Jun raised his eyelids and looked at Chu Suiliang with a smile on his face. He did not clink glasses with him, but asked in surprise: "Chu Huangmen said that the Goguryeo navy only had a few broken ships... Since you speak so firmly, how dare you Ask, how many broken ships are there?”
Chu Suiliang's face stiffened, and he forced a smile and said: "I just said casually that Goguryeo's navy is weak and it is known to the whole world, but how can I know the number of its warships?"
"Chu Huangmen clearly said that the Goguryeo navy only had a few broken ships, but now he denies it. Are you just teasing me, or are you just teasing me?"
Fang Jun asked.
He didn't intend to expose it easily. Since you dare to play tricks on me, you have to be more rigorous.
Xu Shi's body temperature rose after the hot tea entered his abdomen. Chu Suiliang was sweating a little on his forehead. He held on and said: "The prince-in-law was joking and made a mistake at some point. I apologize for my sin..."
He could only admit that he was teasing Fang Jun, otherwise he would be teasing the king. This charge was not light, and it was not to say that he was cheating on the king, but he couldn't bear the words "being frivolous but not keeping his words secret".
You need to know that he is a person who has been sent away, and he is especially afraid of the abjection and suffering of being exiled thousands of miles after suddenly losing his support...
I secretly cried out in my heart, why couldn't I bear it any longer and had to pick up this stick?
His Majesty Li Er watched the two bickering with great interest. In terms of talent, Chu Suiliang was slightly inferior to Chu Suiliang, and in terms of smooth talk, he was far inferior to Fang Jun. Seeing that Chu Suiliang was completely defeated, His Majesty the Emperor smiled and smoothed things over: " Dengshan You are a civil servant who has never ridden a horse to fight and does not know the dangers of the battlefield, so you should be cautious in this regard, otherwise it will be embarrassing if those narrow-minded people find your fault. "
Chu Suiliang felt even more embarrassed after hearing this.
He understood the emperor's intention to change things, but when he heard these words in his ears, which were as high as the sky, the emperor said unabashedly, "You are not as good as Fang Jun"...
This was extremely difficult for him to accept.
Why?
I come from a famous family, and I showed my talents at a young age. Later, I was trained by Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan. My talents are dazzling and praised by the world. Since Your Majesty came to the throne, I have been serving the king's affairs with all my heart. How can I not be as unscrupulous as Fang Jun? Got a hammer?
Fang Junze didn't seem to hear the emperor's ridicule, and said seriously: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Chu Huangmen should repent and change. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and words are combed." Rigorousness is great Taboo. Just what you said, "The Ministry of War has mobilized the whole country to know the size of the Goguryeo navy's warships, but Chu Huangmen knows it very well. There may be a hidden secret in it."
This time, Chu Suiliang was really sweating profusely.
These words are really not meant to scare anyone. If it had been the time of Emperor Sui Yang in the previous dynasty, if he had said what he just said and was caught by his enemies and would not let him go, he would be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and would have to die. Delaminated skin.
Fang Jun continued: "But there is no need to worry about the Chu Huangmen. His Majesty can illuminate thousands of miles and see clearly every detail. Naturally, he will not wrong his ministers. He is magnanimous and does not care about you, so you should be happy."
Chu Suiliang's face turned dark...
Are you magnanimous?
Haha, if you really grab me by the pigtails, I’ll be damned if you don’t push me to death...
His Majesty Li Er saw that Chu Suiliang, who had always been smart, was suppressed by Fang Jun's few words and had no room for resistance. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Fang Jun and said: "The expedition is about to begin. Although you are old, you are still battle-hardened. I don’t have anything to say, just be careful.”
At this point, he asked again: "Some time ago at Wulu Temple, I remember that you promised to write a poem and article in memory of Queen Wende. I wonder if you have a draft?"
Fang Jun looked at His Majesty Li Er speechlessly, you are the emperor, how can you just talk nonsense?
It was clearly you who asked me to write it, but why did I take the initiative to ask for it?
Okay, since you are so shameless, I will go all out and use a big killer weapon today to ruin your mood and make you feel ecstasy and sad...
He looked at Chu Suiliang with a smile and said: "Chu Huangmen is a master of calligraphy, a great Confucian of our time, whose talent and learning are outstanding in the world, so... can you please do some ink research for me?"
Mother!
Chu Suiliang almost yelled at his mother. If you want me to practice ink, just say so. You have to be disgusted by Luo Li. Why are you so annoying?
However, in the presence of the emperor, Chu Suiliang could only suppress his anger and said with a straight face: "Yes."
Get up and go to the desk in front of the window to study ink.
Fang Jun chuckled, then stood up and walked over, spreading a piece of white rice paper on the desk. After Chu Suiliang had studied half a pool of ink, he picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, writing like flying.
His Majesty Li Er stood in front of the bookcase with his hands behind his back. He leaned slightly and stared at the rice paper. He saw Fang Jun splashing ink on the iron painting with silver hooks. Each of his beautiful handwriting appeared on the paper. He read word by word: "Ten years of life and death." Boundless, without thinking, unforgettable..."
It was like a dull hammer, hitting His Majesty Li Er's chest hard, making him look as pale as paper for an instant, and all kinds of longings and regrets rushed into his heart...
Klay broke Curry's record, but Curry has countless fans...
