The four hundred and fortieth chapters go to the meaning has been born
"Why, today's food doesn't taste good?"
At the stone table in the pavilion, Emperor Jing enjoyed his meal quite happily. At a certain moment, he raised his head and glanced at Li Yi. Seeing him chewing the lotus seed soup carefully for a long time, he asked.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood." Li Yi put down his chopsticks and said, "It's just that I have been seriously ill in the past few days and I haven't recovered yet. I have a bad appetite."
Emperor Jing nodded and said: "I heard from the imperial doctor that you are overly worried. You might as well tell me what you are worried about. Maybe I can be of some help."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "I don't dare to trouble Your Majesty. I just have some unresolved issues and slept at home for a few days. I'm much better now."
Emperor Jing glanced at him and did not continue on this topic. Instead, he said: "I once told you that I would only give you a knighthood and not an official position. I said you had no words for it, but now I really regret it."
Already."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and raised his head. Emperor Jing had already sighed and said, "I don't have much time..."
There was deep unwillingness and helplessness in his words, and Li Yi did not answer.
A wise monarch certainly hopes to live a few more years and see more of the country in front of him that has become more and more prosperous in his hands. However, there are some things that even if he is a king ordered by heaven, he still cannot escape.
"The Left Minister of the Ministry of War resigned from office a few days ago. I want you to take over this position. What do you think?"
Li Yi still didn't know what kind of promotion it was from having no official position to being the Minister of War Zuo. He also didn't know how many ministers in the court would object to Emperor Jing's decision. He also didn't know that the emperor actually asked outsiders for his opinions when appointing an official.
It seemed so shocking. He only knew that he would never become the left minister of the Ministry of War.
Li Yi immediately stood up, bowed and said: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness. However, I am ill and I am afraid that I will not be able to take on this important task. I am afraid that I will fail your Majesty's expectations. I hope that your Majesty will take back my life."
Emperor Jing was not surprised by Li Yi's answer. He stood up, took two steps forward, turned his back to Li Yi, looked into the distance and said, "I remember the first time I saw you, it was in the garden of Prince Ning's Mansion.
In here?"
"At that time, I knew that there was a gap in your heart. You were just lazy and had no intention of pursuing an official career. I wanted to let you work in the officialdom for a few years, so I called you back to Beijing and entrusted you with important tasks. But even though you are far away in Qing'an Mansion,
But he still has done so many things for me and this country, but his temper has become more and more lazy..., People always have to pursue something in life, Li Yi, what do you want? Money,
Or power?”
Li Yi remained silent.
"I can give you all these. I really don't have much time... The world from now on will be yours. I know you have great talents, and I don't want to be wronged by you. Now, tell me, you
What do you want?"
Li Yi was silent for a while and then said: "Your Majesty has given me a lot. I am satisfied and have nothing else to ask for."
The atmosphere in the pavilion began to fall into a long silence.
I don't know how long it took before a hoarse voice broke the silence. Chang De stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court."——
"Your Majesty is so generous, but this little guy is so pushy. According to my opinion, Your Majesty only needs to issue a decree. He should be the Minister of War, and he should be suitable if he is not!" Looking at the middle-aged man standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, he said
Chang De thought for a moment and then said.
At this time, there were only two of them left in the pavilion.
After a long time, Emperor Jing turned around, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid he has already decided to leave..."
Changde was startled when he heard this, and asked: "Where are you going? Where are you going?"
Emperor Jing did not answer, his eyes were wandering, and he rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand unconsciously, muttering: "The King of Shu is incompetent, and none of my princes are of great use. If they can be half as powerful as Prince Li,
Why should I worry about this? Mingzhu, if Mingzhu is a man, even if she..."
Changde remained silent again. The weather today was dull, with thick black clouds gathering in the sky above. It was feared that there was going to be a heavy rain.
…
…
After Li Yi walked out of the garden, of course he couldn't hear the conversation in the pavilion.
He was thinking about something in his mind. When passing by a certain palace, a figure suddenly appeared from the corner. Princess Shouning rushed over like a little tiger, hugged his waist, and said in annoyance: "Liar, big liar, say
Okay, please have dinner!"
Li Yi pressed her little head and finally let her go, saying: "Lead the way, Food Bureau!"
After the tsundere loli was stunned for a moment, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Wait a minute, I'll call Sister Huang!" He asked Li Yi to wait here, and ran towards Chenlu Hall while yelling.
"Ah, brother Xuan is here too!" Not long after, Li Xuan, who was going to go to court with all the officials, was discovered by the sharp-eyed Princess Shouning and dragged out of the crowd.
The censor's eyes almost popped out of his head. Every official who spat on the road or farted would be recorded in their notebooks. However, they could only watch, no, take a look at Princess Shouning's serious violation of discipline.
So he turned his head away - he couldn't care about it anyway, just keep his eyes out of sight to avoid getting angry.
Li Xuan occasionally went to court, and he only played the role of making soy sauce. When he was worried about how to pass the difficult morning court time, Princess Shouning undoubtedly gave him a big step forward.
No matter how you look at it, sitting in a cool room, with the eight dishes and one soup in front of you is fragrant, and just looking at it will make you appetite. It is much better than dozing off against the pillars of the court, right?
"Gudong." Li Xuan couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even though he had already eaten breakfast, he still felt that one person could handle a large table of dishes in front of him.
"Gudong." Princess Shouning's eyes widened. The scene in front of her was beyond her imagination. She couldn't wait for others to make the first move, so she picked up a piece of ribs and started to chew on it.
The head of the catering bureau really cried. He looked at the man with tearful eyes who had almost wiped out all the precious ingredients. He couldn't afford to offend any of the four people. He was extremely suspicious in his heart, what kind of evil he had done in his previous life!
"Today...is it some special day?" Li Xuan's chopsticks were flying like lightning, and his mouth was not idle. He looked at Li Yi while eating and asked.
"You guys can eat, I've just eaten." Li Yi washed his hands, said to them, and walked out.
The tsundere loli's cheeks were bulging and she kept nodding her head. Food was everything right now, and it would be great if no one would compete with her.
Li Mingzhu raised his head and glanced with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He put down his chopsticks, got up and followed him out.
"Um..., wait!" Li Xuan still had a bunch of ribs in his mouth, took two more pieces, and hurriedly chased after him.
