Chapter 929 Its really hard to hear someone tell the truth
Yun Chuyi submitted three memorials to impeach Dugu Mou and Teng Wenzhong for corruption and perversion of the law, but the emperor ignored them all.
Even the Yushitai did not pay any attention to this matter, which is chilling.
Since arriving at Mount Tai, the emperor has lived in seclusion in the palace, and has even avoided such things as morning court.
Not being able to see the emperor, and being detained again, Yun Chu had nothing to do against people like Dugu Mou.
It is obvious that the emperor does not want to cause trouble again at the foot of Mount Tai.
In August, the heat is unbearable at the foot of Mount Tai. If you want to cool off, you have to go to the mountain. However, after the last craftsman came down the mountain, Mount Tai was completely blocked by the army and no one was allowed to go up the mountain.
The Chinese army camp took over the defense of the entire Mount Tai, and Yun Chu, the rear army commander, once again entered a state of unemployment.
This is the reason why Xue Rengui is unwilling to take up the task of guarding the emperor's palace. The commander of an army can be dismissed from his military power at every turn. This is definitely the thing that generals hate the most, and it also severely damages the general's prestige in the army.
Nowadays, everyone relies on prestige to make a living. If this thing is damaged at all, it is a big deal.
There are many streams in the valley near Mount Tai. Yunchu thought that there could be no fish in the streams that came from the mountainside. However, Li Ji sat on a huge rock wearing a raincoat and holding a fishing rod in the rapids.
Fishing made Yunchu doubt his own judgment again.
After going down to the valley, he took a closer look at the stream. Yun Chu was sure that there were no fish here, and then he said loudly to Li Ji who was sitting near the waterfall: "Master Ying, are you fishing?"
Li Ji glanced at Yun Chu, who was speechless, and said slowly: "Yes."
When Yun Chu saw Li Ji lift the fishing rod, there was indeed a small red fish hanging on the hook that was no longer than a prick and weighed no more than two taels.
Yun Chu jumped on the boulder and came to Li Ji to take a look at the fish basket placed on the boulder. He found that there were four or five red lin fish in it. This kind of fish looked a bit strange. The red lin fish had a wide mouth and was long and slender in shape, like a dragon.
Xiang, still jumping in the fish basket, seems to be a violent person.
"Why did your father-in-law know there are fish here?"
Li Ji took a sip of rice wine, looked at Yun Chu and said: "From the fourth year of Zhenguan, after His Majesty defeated the Turks, to the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, in the eleven years, the ministers have submitted sixteen memorials to Emperor Taizong admonishing Emperor Taizong to grant Zen to Mount Tai.
Most times.
Two of these times, Emperor Taizong was ready to go, but gave up at the last moment. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, when I led an army of 60,000 to cooperate with Wei Zheng to pacify Shandong, I stationed troops at the foot of Mount Tai. The purpose was to grant Emperor Taizong the title of Zen on Mount Tai.
Drive before.
Although Emperor Taizong was unable to make the trip until the end, I stayed at the foot of Mount Tai for three months."
Yunchu looked at the red-scaled fish in the fish basket and asked, "How does this fish taste?"
Li Ji looked back at Yun Chu and said: "Shandong scholars say that there is this kind of red-scaled fish, which looks like a dragon and has the power of a dragon. Therefore, it is regarded as the incarnation of the dragon and is called the divine fish.
Divine fish, do you want to eat it too?"
Yun Chu licked his lips and said, "If this kind of fish can survive in the rapids, the meat must be firm, and the meat with firm meat will generally not taste too bad."
Li Ji smiled and said: "The emperor is nearby, do you dare to eat arowana?"
Yun Chu looked around and said, "Just eat it secretly."
Li Ji rolled his eyes at Yun Chu and said, "You are really a cowardless person."
"So, your father-in-law has already eaten?"
Li Ji put his head close to Yun Chu's ear and said, "This fish is so delicious that nothing can compare with it."
Yun Chu leaned back, squinting at Li Ji and said, "I smell the smell of conspiracy."
Li Ji sneered at Yun Chu's words, grabbed the fish basket and came to a flat ground. He slaughtered five fish in a few strokes of the stream, lit a fire, pierced the fish with a wooden stick and stuck them beside the fire.
Roasted.
Yun Chu said regretfully: "It's a bit of a waste of natural resources."
Li Ji picked up a piece of grilled fish and handed it to Yun Chu, saying, "You are a very skilled cook. How about you come?"
Yun Chu felt around in his arms, and finally only took out a small bag of salt. He shook his head regretfully, then put the fish back on the edge of the fire, waiting to be roasted slowly.
Li Ji looked at the stream in front of him and said, "This place is called Caishi Creek."
Yun Chu nodded and prepared to listen to Li Ji start a long story. However, Li Ji, who was sitting opposite him, kept silent and looked sluggish and lacked energy.
Today, generally speaking, Li Ji was in a bad mood and had not had much energy since the morning. Li Chengxiu was worried about what would happen to his father, so he begged Yun Chu to come over and take a look.
In fact, the most taboo thing for an elderly person is to dwell on the past. Once such symptoms begin to appear, it means that he has lost the motivation to continue living.
"Your Excellency is strong and healthy, are you ready to visit Japan?"
Perhaps stimulated by Yun Chu's words, Li Ji's originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Yun Chu and said, "Will you support me?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "As long as the hero's ambition is limited to the Japanese country, the younger generation will definitely help him."
Li Jidao: "Including your power in Daxing City?"
Yunchu said with a smile: "My lord actually needs my strength to stay in Baekje even more. Where is the country closer to Japan?"
Li Ji sighed and said: "Three years of planning, three years of invasion, three years of destruction of the country, I don't have ten years left."
Yun Chu said: "Some people think that the British Duke does not need ten years to conduct strategic planning. In my opinion, two years is enough."
Li Ji looked at Yun Chu and said: "That was when you, Xue Rengui, and Pei Xingjian led the army to destroy the Japanese country. I didn't have a large army in my hands, no neat armaments, and I didn't have the support of the entire Tang Dynasty behind me. In ten years, I can manage
If you go to Japan, you are already arrogant."
When Yun Chu saw that the red-scaled fish were gradually drying out after being roasted in the campfire, he changed the positions of several fish and continued roasting, and said in a low voice: "The Yinggong is too defensive against me. Su Xiang, the third son of the Su Gong, has already started cooking."
Soldiers were recruited in Liaodong, and more than twenty nobles who had fought in Liaodong sent their sons to Liaodong.
At this time, General Sun Renshi of the Dengzhou Navy resumed his former position as the marching commander of Xiongjin Road. Wasn’t this all arranged by Ying Gong? "
Li Ji looked at Yun Chu and said, "Does your Majesty know about this?"
Yun Chu said: "I don't know whether your Majesty knows that. Anyway, I didn't tell you. I have been busy trying to settle matters with Dugu and his plots over me these days. Your Majesty may be annoyed by me and not want to see me. My
All three memorials were ignored by His Majesty."
Li Ji saw that a piece of fish had been grilled, so he handed it to Yun Chu. After Yun Chu sprinkled fine salt on it, Li Ji took it and ate it. The old guy's teeth were so good that even the fish bones were not good enough.
Chewed to pieces by him...
Yunchu didn't eat, but just looked behind Li Ji. Li Ji turned around and saw that Li Zhi and Wu Mei were walking upstream along the Colorful Stone River.
Li Ji pretended not to see it, and Li Zhi and Wu Mei also pretended not to see it. Under the reminder of Yun Chu, the 250-year-old intermediary, the two parties suddenly realized and pretended to have met by chance.
"Your Majesty is so excited to fish and eat here."
"Your Majesty, I'm very polite. The weather is sultry and hot. Come to the water to get some fresh air."
Li Zhi looked at Yunchu with disgust and said, "Why are you here again?"
Yun Chu helplessly spread his hands and said, "Wei Chen is also here to get some fresh air."
Li Zhi ignored Yun Chu, looked at the grilled fish that Yun Chu had placed by the fire and said, "Can this arowana be eaten too?"
Li Ji put down the half-eaten arowana in his hand and said, "Your Majesty has come to Mount Tai. What kind of arowana will there be here? It's just a red-scaled fish. Your Majesty will also try it. It tastes good."
Li Zhi didn't seem to blame Li Ji. When he saw Yun Chu sprinkle the fish with fine salt and was about to take it to eat, Wu Mei took it away and said to Li Ji with a sweet smile: "I am impatient."
.”
Yun Chu is the youngest official here, so it is impossible for Wu Mei to be a poison-testing eunuch. After tearing off a small piece of meat from the red-scaled fish in Wu Mei's hand and throwing it into his mouth to chew, Wu Mei saw that Yun Chu had not been poisoned.
After poisoning him to death, he handed the fish to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi said to Li Ji: "Don't blame her."
Li Ji shook his head and said, "That's right."
After Li Zhi finished eating an arowana, he washed his hands by the stream and said to Li Ji: "Today I came here specifically to clear up the doubts in my heart..."
When Yun Chu heard what the emperor said, he stood up and left. Li Zhi didn't ask directly, just waiting for him, an idler, to get out of his own accord.
Yunchu walked far along the Caishi River until he met the giant bear being served by four or five eunuchs, and then he stopped.
The giant bear was lying in a bay at this time, with only a big furry head exposed. The bear's paws submerged in the water only came out of the water occasionally, and he stuffed a red fruit into his mouth.
Because the wind blows from the lower reaches of the creek to the upper reaches, the giant bear didn't notice Yun Chu until Yun Chu sat next to the giant bear's big head.
One of the giant bear's paws stretched out from the water, holding up the half-eaten red fruit and sending it to Yunchu.
Yunchu did not eat the giant bear's saliva, but took a bite of a new red fruit from the basket on the side. It was a very good fruit, but it couldn't be named. It tasted sour and sweet, and was tender and without residue.
The giant bear had been with Li Zhi for a long time and had seen Yun Chu a lot. Over the years, Yun Chu had never beaten it, so it didn't run away. The bear stayed by the water and ate fruits.
Naturally, the eunuchs did not dare to come over, but Aunt Chun didn't pay much attention. Seeing that Yunchu and the giant bear were both eating fruits, she came over to eat them together. Moreover, while eating, she waved her sleeves, and the eunuchs disappeared.
.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty came here to ask if Your Majesty and the Empress call themselves Emperor or Queen during this conferential ceremony, will Your Majesty have any objections?"
Yun Chu nodded and said to Aunt Chun: "When you are old and can no longer be used, come to Yun's to take care of yourself."
Aunt Chun whispered: "Don't you have to wait on others?"
Yun Chu said: "Find someone to serve you."
After hearing this, Aunt Chun looked sadly at the flowing stream, grabbed the giant bear's ear with one hand and said, "I am actually destined to serve others, and I cannot enjoy the blessing of being served by others."
