After noon, Li Qi took Wu Xiaoliu and other chefs to the palace to prepare for tonight's banquet. Li Qi also held many banquets when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this time he gave in to Wang Fu.
Under his power, he was forced to have no choice but this was definitely the banquet he was most looking forward to.
When I arrived at the palace, the court master was waiting in front of the door. He bowed and said: "I have seen the economic envoy. My master said that if you come, sir, please go to the backyard first."
"Okay." Li Qi nodded and said to Wu Xiaoliu: "You go to the kitchen to prepare it first. I will come back later. Remember not to run around."
Wu Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Hey, I know."
After giving instructions, Li Qi and the dean walked toward the backyard.
"This way, this way."
"there."
"Hurry up."
"I'm coming"
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, Li Qi faintly heard shouts coming from inside. He felt happy, but his face remained calm, pretending to be curious: "Wait a minute, I think I heard the emperor
The voice."
The court official said: "Your Excellency, you heard it well. The Emperor arrived an hour ago."
Li Qi snorted and said, "The emperor came so early. Didn't he say that the banquet will be arranged in the evening?"
"It's like this. He recently found a magical dog from outside. When the emperor heard about it, he wanted to come and have a look, so he came over early." When the court master spoke, he looked proud.
"Magical dog?" Li Qi exclaimed, "What kind of magical method? Could it be that it has three heads and six arms, seven or eight feet long, and 10 feet tall?"
The dean smiled and said: "Oh, that's not true, but this dog understands human nature. You will know it when you go in and take a look."
"Then I have to go in and take a look." Li Qi laughed, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
When I came to the backyard, I saw Song Huizong, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan, and Wang Xuanen standing in the open space playing Cuju with a big dog. I saw the four of them standing in four corners, and they were passing the ball back and forth quickly under their feet.
, and the dog followed Ju's movements and ran, it was unbelievable that four people and one dog were having fun.
I don't know if it was because of Li Qi's sudden arrival. Wang Fu was slow and the ball he passed to his son was knocked down from the air by the big dog.
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Jiang Ming lost, punish him, punish him."
Wang Fu's mind was so quick. He smiled, pointed at Li Qi, and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, Li Qi is here."
I'm here, and you have to punish me. You're such a scumbag. Li Qi stepped forward with contempt for Wang Fu, saluted Song Hui, and then bowed his hands to Wang Fu and Li Bangyan.
Song Huizong seemed to be in high spirits today, hehe said: "Li Qi, you are here just in time, come and see the magical dog that Xuan En just got."
"Woof woof woof."
Before Li Qi could say anything, the big dog suddenly barked and ran towards Li Qi.
Damn it. He forgot that this dog knew me. Li Qi was so anxious that he pretended to be afraid and ran off: "Ouch, ouch. What a big dog. Stop him quickly."
Zhu Mang, who was standing by the side, saw this and was about to call out Wangcai. Wang Xuanen suddenly came to him and whispered: "Don't say anything."
When Zhu Mang heard this, he swallowed the words on his lips again, and he was not too worried.
When Song Huizong and others saw Li Qi's embarrassed appearance, they all burst out laughing with joy. They were really a bunch of unscrupulous uncles.
Isn't it just a dog? Compared with the golden retriever and the black retriever, it is nothing like a big witch. Do you need to be so scared? Ma Qiao sighed softly, suddenly rushed forward, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the dog's neck, and lifted it directly
When I got up, I met Maqiao, a pervert from the mountains. Wangcai had no temper at all.
Wang Xuanen was very happy to see Ma Qiao hurting his beloved dog. He couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "How dare you hurt my beloved dog? Why don't you let me go quickly."
Ma Qiao curled his lips and threw it away. The dog whined a few times and ran to Zhu Mang's side.
Li Qi panted slightly, and when he saw Wang Xuanen preparing to attack Maqiao, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, what kind of magical dog is this? It is obviously a vicious dog. I didn't provoke it, so why are you chasing me and biting it?"
Wang Xuan'en said sarcastically: "The words of the economic messenger are wrong. I am a magical dog that can distinguish between good and bad. Could it be that the economic commander has done something bad?" When he saw the dog chasing Li Qi and biting him, he felt extremely happy.
I love this dog even more.
You little guy, let’s see how arrogant you are after today. Li Qi said angrily: “Wang Yanei, what are you talking about? I have a very good conscience and it is a product exempted from national inspection.”
Song Huizong waved his hand and said: "Li Qi, I will not be on your side this time. This dog has just seen me and Shimei, and it is docile. But as soon as you come, it will chase you and bite you. Please be honest and frank."
, have you done anything bad recently?"
Li Qi said unjustly: "Of course not. Maybe I smell of meat on my body, so this dog came to chase me."
"This --- well, I think you can make sense." Song Huizong rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless at Li Qi's sophistry.
Li Bangyan clicked his tongue and praised: "This wealth is really interesting. I can't help but understand human nature, and I can actually play Cuju. It's really wonderful. My dear nephew, why don't you let Uncle Li get this wealth? I'll give it to you."
Twice the price.”
Wang Xuanen said with a sweet look on his face: "Uncle Li and my nephew are not familiar with Wangcai yet."
Song Huizong rolled his eyes at Li Bangyan and said, "Shimei, after all, you are one of the best in the dynasty. Why are you fighting with children for toys? You are really promising."
Li Bangyan said sarcastically: "This dog is really too interesting. I just said it casually. I can't take it seriously. I can't take it seriously."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also felt that this divine dog was quite spiritual, and he loved it so much that he asked with a smile: "Xuan En, what else does this divine dog know?"
Wang Xuanen said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this magical dog can also help people find lost and lost items. No matter how hidden they are, they can find them."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, this is really your own fault. You can't live without it. You bumped into it yourself without me opening my mouth. He made an exaggerated expression and said: "So powerful? Is it true?"
I don’t believe it.”
Wang Xuan'en said: "If the economic envoy doesn't believe it, how about we take a gamble?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay, I wonder what Yanei wants to bet on?"
Wang Xuanen raised his head and said confidently: "If I lose, I'll do whatever you want, but if you lose, you have to cook meals for this magical dog for three days, how about that?"
Wang Fu shouted: "Xuan En. Don't be rude." After all, Li Qi is also a third-grade official. Asking him to cook is already bullying. You, a little kid, asked him to cook dog food. This is an insult.
person.
Wang Xuanen pursed his lips and said: "My child knows that he is wrong. My child just sees that Wangcai is picky about food. He does not eat raw meat, but only eats cooked meat. And the economic leader Gui is the king of chefs with golden knives, so he wants to ask him to help my child marinate."
A cooked meat dish specially made for prosperous wealth."
Song Huizong didn't care. After all, Wang Xuanen was young. He just thought he was being quick-tongued and said, "Don't eat raw meat? Then wouldn't this dog be like a human being?"
When Wang Fu saw that Song Huizong didn't care at all, he was very proud and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, this kid is rude. Don't be the same as him."
Act, keep acting for me, I'm afraid you won't act anymore. Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Mr. Wang's words are serious, I think I'm taking advantage of this bet. It's up to you, I can't do anything about the conditions."
Wang Xuan'en said: "Of course."
Li Qidao: "It seems that Yanei is quite confident. Well, I'll make a bet with you. As long as you win, I will definitely help you develop a dog food that this magical dog likes to eat."
Wang Xuanen said confidently: "One word is settled."
Song Huizong also liked to watch the excitement and said with a smile: "It's OK, it's OK. Let's see if this dog is really as magical as Xuan En said."
Wang Xuanen was overjoyed and said: "For the sake of fairness, let the economic envoy hide it."
Li Qi couldn't get what he wanted. He smiled and asked, "What are you hiding?"
"Whatever, as long as it's something you have on you."
"really?"
"good."
"Okay." Li Qi took a long hair from his head and said, "That's it?"
"A hair?" Wang Xuanen asked with his eyes wide open.
Li Qi said simply: "No? This hair belongs to me too. Isn't it too long?"
Long? How can you call your short hair long? Wang Xuanen was stupid now. He subconsciously looked at Zhu Mang, and Zhu Mang said: "My lord, it's okay to have a beard originally. It's just a hair."
If you want to use this hair to test for wealth, it’s hard to find it. If you insist on using this hair to test for wealth, please pull some more.”
Li Qi shrank his head and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? Keep talking more. What you said is simple. It doesn't hurt. Besides, I don't want to become bald. Forget it. Forget it. I'll find someone else."
Just one thing."
As he spoke, he groped around for a while, took out a handkerchief, and said, "This will work, right? You won't say that this handkerchief is too small, and I have to take off all my clothes for you."
Zhu Mang nodded and said: "That's enough, that's enough."
Song Huizong glanced sideways and said displeasedly: "Li Qi, why are you talking so much? Hurry up and hide it, I'm still waiting."
"Hey, hey, I'll go right away."
Li Qi chuckled and said to Wang Xuanen, "You are not allowed to look."
Wang Xuan'en said: "Don't worry, I will never look at it."
"Then I'll go."
"go quickly."
Li Qi turned around and looked around, then suddenly walked towards the back. Halfway there, he suddenly turned around and said, "Don't peek."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
After a while, Li Qi came out from behind, clapped his hands and said, "I've hidden it."
Wang Xuanen winked at Zhu Mang, and Zhu Mang immediately walked towards Li Qi with Wangcai.
Li Qi was "surprised" and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Sir, please rest assured, Wangcai will never harm you." Zhu Mang said hurriedly.
Wangcai was wandering around Li Qi. Song Huizong and others looked curious and walked over one after another. After a while, Wangcai lowered his head and looked for it. Everyone followed him, but no one made a sound, for fear of disturbing Wangcai.
.
Wangcai came out of the open space and came to a big tree on the roadside. He sniffed hard and suddenly screamed "woof, woof, woof".
Song Huizong asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Zhu Mang bowed and said: "If you return to the emperor, Wangcai has been found."
"Oh? Where?"
Wang Xuanen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, look quickly."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty looked down and saw Wangcai digging the soil hard with his front paws.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Oh, don't dig it, Mr. Wang, stop it quickly, it is going to knock down your tree."
Wang Fu was angry and amused when he heard this, and said: "If it is capable of this, then I will admit it."
"Woof woof woof."
"Leach's handkerchief."
Li Bangyan pointed at Wangcai's claws and exclaimed.
Song Huizong took a closer look and saw a handkerchief hidden in the soil. He was shocked and said: "This is really a magical dog."
Li Qi said depressedly: "No way, I hid it so secretly, but this dog found me. I can't be fooled."
Wang Xuan'en said: "You don't want to default on your debt, do you?"
"of course not."
Li Qi forced a smile and glanced at Wangcai secretly from the corner of his eye. He saw Zhu Mangwu walking up to Wangcai as usual, giving Wangcai a few pieces of dried meat, and touching Wangcai's head with his right hand.
. He waved it between his mouth and nose again, and gently patted Wangcai’s back with his left hand.
"Woof woof woof."
Wangcai had just finished enjoying the reward when he suddenly screamed again.
Wang Fu asked in surprise: "What is it called again?"
Zhu Mang said blankly: "I don't know either."
Wangcai called a few times, then suddenly lowered his head and walked forward along the road, sniffing to the left and sniffing to the right.
Zhu Mang looked solemn and said, "Wangcai seems to have discovered something again."
The curiosity in Song Huizong's heart had been aroused by this wealth, and he said extremely seriously: "Oh? Then let's follow it and see what it finds."
"yes."
A group of big men kept silent and followed Wangcai quietly. It looked quite funny. But they never expected that they were walking into Li Qi's trap step by step.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Wangcai suddenly barked twice and then ran forward quickly.
Zhu Mang said: "It should be right in front."
Several people quickly quickened their pace and walked around two corners in a row. Suddenly, they saw Wangcai standing in front with his head raised and shouting.
When Wang Fu raised his head, he couldn't help but be shocked, why did he come here? It turned out that Wangcai was standing under a small door. And the door was really open at this time, and there was really a strange world inside.
However, Song Huizong didn't seem to pay attention to this. He followed Wangcai's gaze and said in surprise: "Yuzhi."
It turns out that there is a white jade mushroom growing out of the moss on the upper edge of the door. It is shaped like a horseshoe. From the color and size, it is definitely top quality!
It is really a strange thing to see the jade sprout growing in the crack of the door. Although Song Huizong and others have a broad knowledge, this is the first time they see it. They are all very surprised. They and Li Bangyan stepped forward to take a closer look.
I couldn't help but marvel.
Wang Fu's face was sweating profusely. Since the door was not locked, he thought Wangcai had pushed it open accidentally. Seeing that Song Huizong didn't seem to notice the scenery outside the door, he rolled his eyes and said excitedly: "Your Majesty
, Your Majesty, Yuzhi was born on the edge of the door. This is an auspicious sign. God bless our Song Dynasty. God bless our Song Dynasty."
Li Qi secretly laughed when he heard this. You don't call it wisdom out of haste, you should call it stupidity out of haste.
Song Huizong was a very superstitious person. He actually believed Wang Fu's baseless words to be true. He laughed and said, "What I love you said makes sense. This truth is an auspicious thing."
What an auspicious thing, I paid for it. The corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched a few times.
In fact, this Yuzhi was what Li Qi asked the drunkard to put on it. At first, he used some Ganoderma lucidum to prepare a powder with a very light fragrance. This kind of fragrance is difficult for humans to smell, and only dogs can smell it.
Last night, he asked a drunkard to sneak into the palace and walk from the front door to the front yard. He originally planned to stop here and just let the emperor see the scenery behind the door.
But he suddenly remembered that there was Liang Shicheng over there, and he was a little afraid of Liang Shicheng. In addition, he was not very sure that Song Huizong would definitely punish Wang Fu for this matter. Therefore, in order to cooperate with the fragrant powder and make Wangcai perform well
, he just decided to add this jade tree on the spur of the moment. Although it is not reliable to have jade tree growing in the crack of the door, but this is ancient times, they don't understand this, and Li Qi doesn't expect to hide it for the rest of his life, as long as he can hide it.
Just for a while.
After the brief surprise, Li Bangyan was already looking out the door with a thoughtful expression.
Li Qi saw it clearly, and shouted to catch the thief: "This is really amazing. I haven't heard that Ganoderma lucidum can grow in the cracks of this door. It can't be man-made."
Wang Fu's expression was serious and he said displeasedly: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that this is all a conspiracy between the truth and a dog to please the emperor?"
Song Huizong waved his hands and said: "Hey, Jiang Ming, there is no need to be angry. I saw this with my own eyes. It was definitely not done intentionally by anyone. Li Qi, you are a bit of a villain and you are trying to get into the heart of a gentleman."
Alas! It seems that no one believes me when I tell the truth. Li Qi smiled and said: "I just said it casually, please forgive me." In fact, this was also a line that had been thought of long ago, and everything was according to his script.
In development.
After all, Wang Xuanen was young. He didn't understand this, and he didn't know that a disaster was coming. He was still flattering and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, could this divine dog be sent by God to guide us in finding this auspicious sign?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, feeling depressed. Isn't this my line? Your mother even stole the director's line. It's so unprofessional.
This statement is really wonderful. Song Huizong was even more overjoyed when he heard it, but when he looked at the scenery outside the door, he couldn't help being a little stunned, but because he was focused on the Yuzhi and the divine dog at this time, he also
Without thinking too much, he immediately smiled and said: "It must be, it must be, it seems that this divine dog and this jade zhi both mean auspicious omens."
In fact, Wang Fu had already noticed that Li Bangyan had a different expression and knew that he couldn't hide it. It can be seen that after Song Huizong found out, he didn't take it seriously. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Now that he was favored by the emperor, his self-confidence was inflated to the extreme.
He was as cautious as before. And Song Huizong was a weird emperor. All kinds of things made him feel that even if the emperor knew that he and Liang Shicheng had a secret connection, the emperor would never blame him for it, and this Ganoderma lucidum made him
He felt that even God was helping him.
It can be said that the authorities are obsessed with it. Bystanders know better!
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this jade zhi is so strange, why don't you pick it off and let me cook a delicious dish and see what this jade zhi tastes like."
Song Huizong waved his hands and said: "Nonsense. Why do you still have no sense in what you say? This is auspiciousness sent from heaven. How can you destroy it at will?" After a pause, he turned to Zhu Mang and said: "Hurry up and reward this divine dog with some food.
Yes, haha, it has made great achievements."
"Yes." Zhu Mang quickly took out some dried meat and fed it to bring prosperity.
Song Huizong was very interested and said: "The name Wangcai is too vulgar, no, no, we have to change the name."
Wang Fu said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, why not just call it Yu Xiangrui."
"Yu Xiangrui?"
Song Huizong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Good name, good name, it's Yu Xiangrui."
Wang Xuan'en hurriedly saluted and said: "My nephew kowtows to the emperor for naming Yu Xiangrui." I feel so happy that the emperor has named my pet dog. What an honor it is. From now on, it will be so majestic to lead it out!
Song Huizong laughed, pointed at Wang Fu and said: "The auspiciousness that has come to Aiqing's house is God's favor for Aiqing. With Aiqing helping me, my country will be worry-free."
After Wang Fu heard this, he was very happy. He saluted and said: "I am ashamed that I am not worthy of my honor. I can only bow to the emperor and be nervous, and then die."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty chuckled and said: "I love you, please forgive me! I understand your loyalty to me."
Li Qi on the side began to feel a little confused. He had just seen Song Huizong glance out the door, but there was no displeasure on his face. He kept praising Wang Fu. His heart was at a loss, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He didn't wait.
It's so deceptive.
Several people admired the Yuzhi again, and then left with Yu Xiangrui.
Wang Fu was now so lovable about Yu Xiangrui that he asked for some pieces of meat from Zhu Mang and fed it to Yu Xiangrui himself.
The most depressing person was Li Qi, who was working so hard for nothing.
Li Bangyan, on the other hand, remained silent, but his eyes looked at Song Huizong from time to time.
But not far away, Song Huizong, who had calmed down, suddenly thought of something. He was slightly startled, glanced back sideways, and a cold light passed through his heart. At this moment, he finally understood why Wang Fu could always guess.
It turned out that he was secretly colluding with Liang Shicheng. This minister and the chamberlain colluded with each other, but this was a taboo of the monarch. This was especially obvious in the Song Dynasty. After all, the Tang Dynasty was ruined by this, and Song Huizong was not good at this.
Silly, he was immediately furious in his heart, but his face remained calm, because this happened so suddenly, and Wang Fu was not an ordinary minister. He didn't know how to deal with it at the moment, and there was a smile on his lips.
However, his subtle expression did not escape the eyes of Li Qi and Li Bangyan, and a strange smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.
Poor Wang Fu is still feeding Yu Xiangrui meat and is completely unaware of all this.
...
At the banquet, the people who came were all Wang Fu's gang members, and Li Qi had no friendship with them, so he did not go to the banquet and stayed in the kitchen the whole time.
At the banquet, Wang Fu and Li Bangyan both had a tacit understanding and did not mention Yuzhi. Li Bangyan would not tell Wang Fu's party members if he wanted to.
Once it comes out, there will definitely be people who want to take a look, and the secret between him and Liang Shicheng will definitely be made public. This still makes him a little afraid. He is also afraid that Song Huizong will tell him, so he has always been with Song Huizong, constantly looking for topics.
He said that he saw that Song Huizong really didn't take it seriously, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more proud in his heart.
Little did he know that even if he didn't do this, Song Huizong wouldn't mention it, and would only make him even more angry. Wang Fu is also a wise man who always makes mistakes!
The banquet ended in this calm and joyful atmosphere.
After the calm, the storm is naturally ushered in. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
