Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six show your face
Li Zhi has been immersed in the great shock of Li Hong’s ice making, and exhausted all the words in front of Wu Mei to praise Li Hong, but only in exchange for Wu Mei’s perfunctory voice, she wouldn’t Believing that the little ghost spirit can make ice under the eyes of everyone, it must be deceived by that little thing's blindfold.
However, because of Li Zhi's great appreciation, Wu Mei calmed down the thoughts of punishing Li Hong for not being able to study well, thinking in her heart that he would be treated well when he had a chance.
On the second day in the court hall, Li Zhi once again told the courtiers about Li Hong’s face-to-face ice making yesterday. The words such as being different from ordinary people, brilliant, etc. were all put on Li Hong’s body by him. not enough.
And when all the officials heard, your majesty praised the king, and now that the harem is turbulent, there are faint news about the abolition of Wang Liwu. This has to make most people and every courtier think that your majesty is here. The move is intended to set Wu Mei as the queen, and at the same time to make the pavement for the new Prince.
Li Zhi looked at the courtiers disapprovingly, as if it was obvious that you were talking nonsense: Even if you want to praise you and Wu Zhaoyi's first prince, you should find a more reliable reason.
The reaction of the courtiers aroused Li Zhi's mind to protect the calf. With a wave of his hand, he ordered Yang Wu to call the king into the Taiji Hall, and all the courtiers in the court had to witness it.
Changsun Wuji, Zhu Suiliang and other officials sighed silently and shook their heads. But only Li Yifu noticed the details in the Tai Chi Hall. In such a hot weather, the Tai Chi Hall, which used to not place large blocks of ice to escape the heat, has obviously increased a lot of large ice blocks today!
Is it true that what your Majesty said? Can Dai Wang really make ice? Seeing how confident Li Zhi was in the court, Li Yifu began to believe that Daiwang would make ice for some reason.
But seeing that Yi Changsun Wuji and others did not stand up, Your Majesty Hexi, Li Yifu wanted to be the first to stand up, His Majesty Hexi seemed a little weak, and he wondered if he should stand up now, Your Majesty Hexi At that time, I heard Yang Wu’s voice: "Li Hong, the king, is seeing your Majesty."
"My son Li Hong has seen his father." He climbed over the tall threshold of the Tai Chi Hall, swayed and ran to the front row to salute.
"Get up, I've seen all the adults first." Li Zhi said with a smile, but his expression looked like he was waiting for a good show.
The first person Li Hong wanted to meet was his uncle, and naturally there were Chang Sun Chong, who was then the secretary and supervisor, and Zhu Suiliang and others.
Changsun Wuji smiled and bends down lovingly stroking Li Hong's head softly and asked: "Hong'er, listen to your father said that you can turn clear water into ice in a tub?"
Li Hongping looked at his 60-year-old grandson Wuji, and said loudly: "Yes, this ice making is very fun. If you are short of ice at home to escape the heat, I will send someone to send you something to me soon. ."
Li Hong’s words with a confident mind made the courtiers laugh, and the grandson also joined in the fun to tease Li Hong and said: "Hong'er, if you can turn water into ice in front of our eyes, I will give you the same Good stuff."
Li Hong's eyes lit up, and at a glance he saw that the jade pendant on Zhang Sun Chong's waist was very valuable. He stretched out his little finger and pointed at the jade pendant on Zhang Sun Chong's waist and said, "Okay, I believe uncle will not lie to me. I want your jade pendant."
"Okay, a gentleman can't chase a horse with a word." Chang Sun Chong said, touching Li Hong's head.
While speaking, Li Zhi had already ordered people to prepare several wooden basins of various sizes, and placed them in places where all the courtiers could see clearly according to what he saw with his own eyes yesterday.
Li Hong looked up at a pair of curious and unbelieving eyes, his little head tilted, and he giggled and said with a smirk: "Why don't it be like this? I wonder who else doesn't believe that this clear water can turn into ice?"
Li Zhi looked at the ministers with a smile and without saying a word. At this moment, the political affairs had been discussed. The ministers were also in the mood to join in the fun. Seeing that his Majesty did not hinder him, he let go and said, "On behalf of the king, The minister didn't believe it either."
"Dai Wang, I don't believe that this clear water can turn into ice."
"On behalf of the king......"
"Okay." Li Hong stood next to Li Zhi and said with a little hand on his hips: "Well then, those who do not believe will stand on my uncle's and uncle's side, and those who believe will stand on the other side. If I can How about making ice from clear water, what if you just lose a hundred pennies?"
"What if Hong'er can't make water into ice? Your uncle, I bet on this valuable piece of jade pendant. This piece of jade pendant is more than a hundred coins." Chang Sun Chong asked.
"Hey...I won't lose to you, you just have to prepare the money. Yang Wu, please count the number of people, and I will share your money if I win." Li Hong said confidently with a smirk.
The ministers were all astonished. How could this little guy be so confident, and the five princes were too blatant. It didn't matter, it was already going to share the spoils with the eunuchs.
Li Zhi smiled and cursed the ghost spirit, stretched out his hand and gently patted Li Hong's head, and supported his son: "How? I don't know who would be willing to bet with my five princes to win or lose. It just happened today. Regardless of the matter, we monarchs and ministers take it for joy, and it can be a good story if we relax."
The ministers also relaxed about this matter. It is rare that such a relaxed atmosphere can appear in the court, and they all immediately said that they would gamble with Daiwang.
In the next scene, the father and son at the top of the Tai Chi Hall suddenly opened their eyes and laughed, because all the courtiers were on the side of Changsun Wuji. Only after Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong exchanged a secret glance, they were quite distinct. Standing on the side of believing.
Li Zhi and Li Hong are worthy of being a father and son. Although they are already happy in their hearts at this time, they still have to pretend to be sad on their expressions. Li Zhi continued to flicker: "Hong'er, have you seen it? People don’t believe you. If you don’t, you can just accompany you. Just forget about ice making. If your blindfold in front of your father yesterday was dismantled by them, it wouldn’t look good."
"Father, don't worry, my son will not let you down." Li Hong patted his chest and walked slowly, squatting in front of each basin, holding a small piece of saltpeter in his small hand and putting it together with his small hand. Into the water.
He deliberately prevented the courtiers from seeing the things in his little hands, so every time he squatted in front of the wooden basin, put his hands in the basin, stirred a few times, and then took it out. The saltpeter is gone.
After several wooden basins were agitated by him under the gaze of the courtiers, Li Hong stood beside Li Zhi with a smirk like a trademark on his face, watching the courtiers' surprise and wide eyes.
At this time, the courtiers in the court looked at the small tub in the water basin that was slowly freezing under the naked eye, and they couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise. There were bursts of inhalation and incredible discussions. It is endless.
"Yang Wu, did you write down their names?" Li Hong asked with a smirk.
"Dai Wang, all have been recorded, a total of 47 people." Yang Wu raised the paper in Yang's hand and said.
Li Hong giggled and teased the officials: "Forty-five people and one hundred guan, only four thousand and five hundred gins."
Most of the courtiers were still immersed in the huge miracle that the clear water turned into ice cubes in front of them, and they didn't get over. One by one, he praised the rebirth of the king as a child prodigy. Li Zhi is also happy with flowers on his face, his prince has a long face.
And when Changsun Wuji, Zhu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong and others heard what Li Hong had just blurted out, their hearts were even more thunderous! A three-year-old child can name forty-five people without even thinking about it. One hundred penny is worth four thousand and five hundred penny. This... how is this possible? Is it really a child prodigy?
But no matter what, everyone was shocked by Li Hong’s magic of making ice with clear water. Everyone asked how the Daiwang made it, but the little adult-like Daiwang seemed to She became stupid, half-leaning on Li Zhi's shoulders, and chuckling as she stood silently.
All the courtiers naturally lost in the Tai Chi Hall. What's more, there is still your majesty to testify, even if you want to cheat you can't do it.
The look on Changsun Wuji's face is a bit ugly, and he concealed the imperceptible loneliness and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it today. I have never prepared any good gifts for you. When I go to court tomorrow, I will bring you one. Good thing, Your Majesty Chen Hexi."
Li Zhi said politely: "It's okay, the little guy is quirky, don't bother you to prepare gifts for him, but you have given him precious gifts for the past two years."
Zhang Sun Chong pretended to be reluctant and took off the jade pendant on his waist~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Uncle bought this with a lot of money, and it was won by your little thing, but my uncle was convinced that he lost. Your Majesty, this should be a gratifying thing."
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were close ministers of Li Zhi. They were already with Li Zhi when Li Zhi was the prince. Therefore, the courtiers did not expect that the two of them were already on the ice around the Taiji Hall. Guessed that Li Hong would make ice, he thought it was just because of the emperor's face that he stood on the other side.
At this time, some ministers began to joke that the two saved a hundred pennies, and the two also bluntly responded to the ministers.
As soon as Li Zhi talked about an interesting story in the court hall, it was like throwing a bomb in the harem, causing other concubines to express their joy to Wu Mei, and they almost praised Li Hong as a flower. Child.
The Concubine Xiao Shu and the Queen did not appear. This is normal for Wu Mei. The three are now in a state of fire and water, and it is difficult for them to become sisters like before. They have developed to the present, even on the surface. The exchanges between the two have become extremely rare.
And the eldest son of his own prince did such a face-to-face thing in front of his majesty, which also made Concubine Xiao Shu and the Queen feel extremely disturbed and dangerous.
It's not that the two didn't understand this Li Hong. They were usually ignorant and inexperienced in the Hongwenguan, and they faced off against Shangguanyi, Guo Yu and others. He has never studied well, because of this, Wu Mei has no less discipline.
But that's the case, the negative model showed up in front of his majesty and his courtiers, and suddenly eclipsed several princes.
Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu asked their prince repeatedly about Li Hong’s current situation, and they all got the same answer. That kid is an unlearned master, but every time he goes to school, he can The question was speechless, and they wondered why Li Hong could do it.
