The group of people found a private room in Xiangman Building and sat down. Liu Huan very grandly asked the waiter to write down the account in his eldest brother's name.
It was obvious that his family often ate here, and the waiter was very familiar with Liu Huan, so he agreed without even thinking about it.
Then everyone watched Liu Huan order a bunch of delicious food and let them order.
Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Man Bao shook their heads together. Peng Zhiru also felt that he had ordered enough, and still hesitated, "You put all the accounts in your eldest brother's name, is that okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. The owner of this restaurant is friends with my brother. When I come to eat here, I always keep tabs on it. I can order whatever I want."
Yin You glanced at him and ordered two softer dishes, and that was it.
Man Bao spoke to Liu Huan across Bai Shan, "Who was the Duke of Yu County just now?"
"Don't you know Mr. Yu County?" Liu Huan said: "He is a famous official and very powerful. I met him several times when I was very young. He especially likes to pinch children's faces."
Liu Huan turned his head and spoke to Yin You through Bai Shan, Man Bao and Bai Erlang, "You must have met him when you were a child. He likes children very much."
Yin You shook his head. He couldn't remember. He was weak. In his memory, many adults liked to hug him when he was very young. How could he know who was who?
However, what Mr. Yu County said...
Yin or Shen thought for a while and asked: "Is it the Secretary Yu who compiled the "Beitang Shuchao"?"
Man Bao pinched a piece of snack and ate it. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "The same official position as Mr. Wei?"
Liu Huan waved his hand and said: "He retired and returned to his hometown to retire a few years ago."
When they mentioned "Beitang Shuchao", Bai Shan remembered it. Seeing that they had been talking about it for a long time but still couldn't get to the point, they turned to Man Bao and said, "You haven't seen it. "Beitang Shuchao" is a genus of books.
."
Man Bao asked while eating, "Why is it called Beitang?"
"Because the Duke of Yu County was the secretary of the previous dynasty when he compiled this book, and Beitang was the back hall of the former dynasty's secretary," Bai Shan said: "This book was compiled in the previous dynasty, but the last emperor did not use it.
The Duke of Yu County had a low-level official position, so this book was left behind. It was not until our dynasty was established that the Duke of Yu County was re-employed. This book was not included in the Imperial Academy, but it was only in the Imperial Academy."
Bai Shan said regretfully: "This book is too thick, so I can't borrow it easily. Otherwise, I can lend it to you."
In other words, they are not sold outside.
Man Bao sighed: "It's so amazing."
Although Peng Zhiru and others had not read the book and still did not remember who Duke Yu was, they still thought it was very impressive.
Liu Huan nodded repeatedly, "It's very powerful, but it's strange. Why didn't Mr. Yu enter the palace when he came to Beijing? He is quite old. Is he seventy-eight or seventy-nine this year? My grandfather said that he was the emperor of the court.
He is the longest-lived among them, and every time he comes to Beijing, His Majesty will personally welcome him to the Tai Chi Hall."
Everyone opened their mouths, "You live such a long life~~"
Liu Huan nodded.
Man Bao and Bai Shan couldn't help but look at each other. How dare they run away at such an old age? It's really amazing.
No wonder his son was so worried.
Bai Shan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Yuezhou is not close to the capital. The old man just wants to travel, so why would he choose to come to the capital?"
Man Bao: "There are old people and old scenes in the capital?"
Bai Shan nodded slightly, "Maybe."
He turned to Liu Huan and smiled, and Liu Huan smiled back at him stupidly.
Man Bao glanced at him, then at Bai Shan, withdrew his gaze, picked up the pot and poured Liu Huan a cup of tea.
The Duke of Yu County brought a servant to the capital and went to the capital by himself. Not only did he frighten his own son, but even the emperor was frightened.
After receiving the news, he sent people out of the palace to invite Duke Yu. As soon as they arrived outside the Taiji Hall, he took the prince and a group of ministers to welcome him out, and personally helped Duke Yu enter.
Duke Yu County quickly bowed humbly, and after being helped up, he followed the emperor into the palace.
The emperor asked someone to add a seat to the first position on the left and asked Duke Yu to sit down.
The Duke of Yu County declined. Logically speaking, this was the position of Prime Minister of the Year.
The emperor then smiled and said: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Let's respect the elderly first and then talk about other things."
Prime Minister Ji also personally helped Yu County's justice: "This is the official seat of the county, please take a seat quickly."
Only then did Duke Yu sit down.
Everyone sat down separately, and the prince stood beside the emperor.
Duke Yu raised his head and squinted his eyes, looked around, then smiled at the prince and said, "We haven't seen you for several years, and the prince has become more and more majestic."
The prince smiled and flirted with Mr. Yu County.
The emperor smiled and asked: "When did the county prince enter the capital? If someone hadn't reported it today, I wouldn't have known that my beloved had entered the capital."
Duke Yuxian bowed and said: "I was just walking around, and when I arrived in the capital, I thought it was the Double Ninth Festival, so I came in to ask for some rice cakes. I didn't expect that boy of mine would alert your majesty.
"
When this was said, everyone was half-convinced.
Who is the Duke of Yu County?
He is the oldest, having gone through four emperors and two dynasties in total. He has returned to his hometown of Yuezhou since he became an official three years ago. When he left Beijing, the emperor personally sent him to the gate of the city.
Even if he wanted to travel around the mountains and rivers, why would he come to the capital if he couldn't go anywhere?
Yuezhou is quite far from the capital.
But no matter how much they inquired in the palace, County Duke Yu persisted and came to the capital just for fun.
Not to mention that the emperor and ministers didn't believe this, even his son didn't believe it. So when he helped his father home, he couldn't help but ask, "Father, why did you come to Beijing?"
Duke Yu held his hand and entered the front hall. He took a deep breath and said, "You kid, don't worry about adults' matters. I heard on the way to Beijing that the prince and the third prince had a falling out?"
Shilang Yu:... God’s little child, his son has become an official, what kind of child is he?
Minister Yu rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "We had a falling out a long time ago, but this time it was just more serious."
Mr. Yuxian stopped talking.
Minister Yu asked anxiously: "Father, are you here for this matter?"
County Duke Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at him and said: "Your father and I left home two months ago, and I haven't learned to predict the future yet."
Minister Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Then why are you here? By the way, why didn't you tell your second brother before leaving? You don't know, he found that you went out to have a drink but didn't come home, and he was almost going to
Crazy anxious."
Duke Yu County coughed lightly and said, "I was also eating wine when I suddenly wanted to go out and play, so I came out."
Minister Yu stared at him, "It's been two months since this happened?"
Mr. Yu County nodded obediently and said "hmm".
Mr. Yu:......
Duke Yu County glanced at the sky outside, stood up and said: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's rest early. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see your majesty and talk about old times with him. It's the Double Ninth Festival, and your majesty is not here."
Time to greet us veterans."
Although Minister Yu still wanted to ask, he saw that his father was walking away swaying with his hands behind his back, so he knew that there was nothing he could ask, so he could only help him to rest.
