Chen Deng learned that there was a gap between Zuo Aoran and He Jin, so he did not answer Zuo Aoran's suggestion of giving gifts. He waved the small fan in his hand and said: "My lord, please be more careful about He Jin. I believe that the old thief He Jin wants to get rid of your lord now."
"Hurry up, my lord must pay more attention at tomorrow's banquet." Seeing Chen Deng's behavior, Zuo Aoran felt very touched. He could get such a talented person to help him, so what should he be afraid of?
I have been thinking about what gift to give. Tomorrow is Emperor Ling's birthday. If there is no decent gift by then, I don't think there will be anything to do. Even Emperor Ling will be angry with himself for not letting him step down.
Comrade Xiao Zuo racked his brains and finally thought of a wonderful gift before the meal. He also said to everyone mysteriously: "Haha, I have thought of what gift to give to celebrate His Majesty's birthday!" Tian Feng, Chen
When Deng and Liao Li saw that Zuo Aoran had solved the problem, they were happy for their lord, but they were still very confused and didn't know what their lord wanted to give.
Zuo Aoran smiled secretly and thought to himself: "Once upon a time? I really didn't watch those TV series in vain. I remember a section in Prime Minister Liu Luoguo called A Bucket of Jiangshan, which was the section where Mr. Liu Yong Liu deceived the emperor. I just happened to get one now.
Use it! Hehe!" Then he ordered Yan Liang to go out and buy a big bucket of ginger and tell everyone that it has wonderful effects. Tian Feng and Liao Li were very shocked when they heard this, and thought to themselves: "My lord will not give your majesty a big bucket of ginger to get rid of the fire!"
My lord is so crazy."
"My lord, I'm afraid it's not good to give such a common item like ginger, right? If your majesty gets angry, it won't be a joke. My lord, please think twice!" Tian Feng advised.
Zuo Aoran laughed and said: "Yuan Hao, don't worry, I believe everyone present will be surprised, and then Yuan Hao will know my intention. Haha!" Tian Feng shook his head, since his lord is so sure, he is not inconvenienced
The argument continued. Looking at the large bucket of ginger that Yan Liang bought, Zuo Aoran felt closer to him than to his own father.
At the birthday banquet of Emperor Ling Liu Hong, Zuo Aoran brought Dianjie, Yan Liang, Tian Feng, Chen Deng, Liao Li and others to the banquet. The gift was a bucket of ginger carefully arranged and packaged by Zuo Aoran.
Tian Feng and others saw that their lord was really going to send Da Jiang away, and they felt very uneasy. Then they thought: "Since the lord is not afraid, what do the subordinates have to be afraid of?"
He Jin, Yuan Wei, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Cai Yong, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Liu Tao, Zhang Jun, Zhang Wen, Ma Rixi and other civil and military personnel, as well as the governors and prefects of various places are also in place.
The birthday gifts have all been completed.
The first of the Ten Constant Attendants stepped forward and went to the Ling Emperor Liu Hong to report: "Your Majesty, all the officials from all over the country are congratulating you. Now, only the Crown Prince Taifu, General Zhengbei, and General Zhendian are here.
Zuo Aoran, the Marquis of Jiangong!"
"Huh!?" Ling Emperor Liu Hong frowned slightly, with a slightly displeased look on his face. He waved his hand and signaled Zhang Rang to step back first. He thought to himself: "What? Is this Zuo Aoran so ignorant of praise?
You dare not miss your birthday?"
At this moment, someone from Xiaohuangmen suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Tutor, the General of the Northern Expedition, the General of the Zhendian Palace, and the Honorable Lord Zuo Aoran are here to greet you."
"Announce his presence!" Ling Emperor Liu Hong said.
"According to the decree!" Then he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Zuo Aoran enters the palace!"
Zuo Aoran greeted the people behind him, walked into the Jinluan Hall with a bucket of ginger in his hand, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Zuo Aoran (Tian Feng, Dianjie, Yan Liang, Chen Deng, Liao Li) is here to greet the emperor.
Long live the Lord, long live the Lord, long live the Lord!"
"Zuo Aoran, why are you so late on my birthday?" Ling Emperor Liu Hong asked with a serious face.
"Your Majesty, the birthday gift prepared by me for your Majesty needs to be carefully crafted?" Zuo Aoran said with shining eyes.
"Oh!?" Ling Emperor Liu Hong became interested as soon as he heard it, his face turned happy, and he thought: "Well! This is not bad! My cultivation is not in vain!" Thinking in his heart, he said: "Put yours on
Present the gift and let me see it!"
After listening to the above conversation between Zuo Aoran and Ling Emperor Liu Hong, Tian Feng, Chen Deng, and Liao Li, who were kneeling behind Zuo Aoran, broke out in cold sweat and thought: "It's over!
It’s over! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family will be executed!"
Tian Feng, Chen Deng, and Liao Li all had their hearts in their throats. They were very worried. The three of them were not worried about their own lives, but they were worried that their lord would be blamed by the emperor.
Zuo Aoran chuckled lightly, pointed to the small bucket beside him, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the gift I have carefully prepared."
"Your Majesty, I am very curious about the gift from General Zuo. I wonder if I can open it in public for everyone to see and experience!" Sure enough, He Jin couldn't resist the temptation and got angry.
"I said, General Zuo, what kind of junk are you carrying?" Zhu Jun, who was at odds with Zuo Aoran, took advantage of the opportunity and asked.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong didn't care so much, and said to Zhang Rang beside him: "Send Zuo Aoran's gift, I want to take a good look at it." Zhang Rang agreed, and took the bucket of ginger presented by Zuo Aoran to Ling Rang.
In front of Emperor Liu Hong. Everyone in the court looked at him with disdain, and started talking one after another, saying that Zuo Aoran's things were immoral and could not be used in a refined hall. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with that.
"What is this? Why does it look so familiar?" Cai Yong looked at the items in the bucket and felt that it looked like a big ginger! He thought to himself: "I, a disciple, wouldn't really send a bucket of ginger! That would be
It’s a shame to play with Long Live!?”
Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Liu Tao, Zhang Jun, Zhang Wen, Ma Rixi and others all opened their eyes wide and saw clearly, confirming that what was in front of them was a bucket of ginger!
Zhang Rang carried a bucket of ginger and said to Ling Emperor Liu Hong: "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Ling Emperor Liu Hong looked surprised, looked at Zuo Aoran, then looked at the ministers with his peripheral vision, and then asked Zhang Rang: "Father, what kind of rough stone is this?"
Zhang Rang wanted to laugh but couldn't. He suppressed his laughter and explained to Ling Emperor Liu Hong: "This is ginger, which is used as a cooking ingredient."
"Ginger?" Ling Emperor Liu Hong asked doubtfully.
"Ah!" Zhang Rang replied.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong still didn't believe it, and asked again: "Then why haven't I seen such a thing when I eat every day?"
"The ginger in the emperor's royal meal was chopped, so the emperor didn't recognize it." Zhang Rang explained to the Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
"Oh!?" Ling Emperor Liu Hong suddenly realized: "Ah! Zuo Aoran! Today is my birthday. What is your purpose of sending me such a bucket of ginger?"
"Your Majesty the Cavalry, Zuo Aoran is playing tricks on the emperor, please punish Zuo Aoran for the crime of disrespect!" Looking at Zhu Juan, Zuo Aoran sighed in his heart that this old guy is really good at seizing opportunities!
"I report to Your Majesty that Zuo Aoran acted recklessly. He took advantage of His Majesty's birthday to tease the Emperor in front of all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace. I think Zuo Aoran should be put to death prematurely!" He Jin couldn't wait to jump out and wanted to cure him.
Zuo Aoran's death penalty.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong waved his hand with a smile and said: "The general said something serious!" Then he said to Zuo Aoran: "Oh! Zuo Aoran! Tell me, why is this? Are you really not afraid?
Shall I punish you for deceiving the emperor and neglecting your superiors?"
