Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 236 The Emperor Arrives
Wang Pingan was stunned for a long time, then turned his head and saw Li Ke was "concentrating" on watching the song and dance performance in the field, but his eyes were a little distracted, and he aimed at the entrance of the garden from time to time, although from the expression on his face , nothing can be seen, but after a while of guessing just now, Wang Ping'an already understood that Li Ke definitely did not come to Furong Garden for no reason, and he must have known something important in advance!

Wang Pingan didn't say a word, and leaned back, but his eyes continued to pay attention to Li Ke's expression.

At this time, the song and dance performance in the venue reached a small climax. It was Mi Xiaomiao who changed from misunderstanding to conviction, and was "suddenly enlightened" in the Governor's Yamen. Because the misunderstanding was clarified, the people were clapping their hands, laughing and praising in unison.Hami Jacquard paid a lot of money to make up the play, but it was actually a random change, but the change was full of flattery. Mi Xiaomiao was originally a villain and a buffoon, but he was played with "hindsight"!
I heard the man who played Mi Xiaomiao sing: "Oh, oh, my family is so confused. I think that when I first left Chang'an, His Royal Highness predicted that Wang Ping'an is a good boy..." In the lyrics, Li Zhi's horse was also slapped. Shit, Li Zhi said Wang Ping'an a long time ago, so what!
When he sang that the prince was wise, right in the flower shed, Li Zhi laughed naturally, shook his head, and pointed at the field, not knowing what he was talking about, and the people beside him also laughed, joking with Li Zhi!
After one line of the lyrics was sung, the scholars in the other flower sheds applauded loudly and shouted in unison: "The prince is wise!"

After the applause sounded, Li Ke suddenly shook his body, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he also applauded!Wang Pingan saw his expression clearly, and he was sure that His Highness Wu Wang was looking at the field, but Kexin had already flown to nowhere!
Leaning back again, Wang Pingan looked at the people in the flower shed. Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi were all there, while Qiu Tingxuan was sitting in the corner, and Hamidi and Ayedin ran off to nowhere. It is estimated that he went to make friends with others.

Wang Pingan beckoned to Zhao Bi, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, you are the host of this poetry meeting, why don't you go outside the garden to greet the guests, it seems that the guests haven't arrived yet!"

Zhao Bi laughed softly and said, "What is the importance of other guests, no matter how big they are than the crown prince? Alas, it's a pity that I can't sit in the crown prince's flower shed, otherwise I would show my face! "

Wang Ping'an whispered to Lu Xiuzhi again: "Brother Lu, it's not convenient for me to go away, why don't you go outside the garden to see if there are any other guests coming, don't neglect him!"

But Lu Xiuzhi quickly shook his head and said: "Don't let me go, I have to stay here, maybe His Highness King Wu will talk to me!"

Di Renjie whispered: "Why don't I go, but it's a pity that I'm too young and I don't know anyone in Chang'an..."

They were muttering here, Qiu Tingxuan sat over, he looked a little gloomy, and asked in a low voice: "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Bi said: "Hey, I have to let someone go out without illness, to see if there are any other guests coming. But how important is this place, the prince Qiantose is in the same flower shed with us, who can get away!"

Qiu Tingxuan sighed softly, and said: "Then I'll go, if there are any more distinguished guests coming, I can also greet you!"

"Thank you very much!" Zhao Bi and Lu Xiu laughed together in a low voice, they just didn't want to leave, Qiu Tingxuan went by himself, and lost the chance to curry favor with the lord, it was because he was stupid, but he can't blame others!
Qiu Tingxuan stood up, went out of the flower shed, and went around from behind the flower sheds.When I came outside the garden, I saw a long row of carriages parked on the street outside the garden, and the drivers of the carriages were all gathered together, talking and laughing loudly, probably talking about their masters, comparing each other and bragging!
Although there were many guests invited to the meeting, when the prince's car stopped outside, those scholars no longer waited for the host to come out to greet them. It's a good location, closer to the prince, and you can also see the princess by the way.

Some guests came with their family members. This phenomenon is very common. Women in the Tang Dynasty had a high status and strong Hu Feng. They didn’t take the so-called public appearance seriously at all. It was purely normal for women to come to watch the scholars’ poem competition. Nothing to be surprised about!
Qiu Tingxuan saw many little girls surrounded by cars, chatting excitedly, it was difficult for him to pass by, but it was a bit embarrassing to stand alone at the gate of the garden.

He was not in a very happy mood. When he was in Xuzhou, he was No.1 among the local students, but when he arrived in Chang'an, it was not the same. Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi, these two idiots, are both very human, but he is the only one left. If he wants to be famous, he won't get famous, and if he wants to be in the limelight, he has never been in the limelight. He is unknown. Take him seriously!
Sighing, Qiu Tingxuan Suoxing stopped standing at the entrance of the garden, and walked along the path to Qujiang Pond. At this time, there were almost no pedestrians by the Qujiang Pond, and everyone was attracted into the garden. Hanging on the ground, the fragrance of flowers is tangy, but no one appreciates it.Qiu Tingxuan comforted himself in his heart, this beautiful scenery, this quietness, how could he see it at other times, just enjoy it by himself, relax and soothe your mood!
After walking a long way, I suddenly saw a woman sitting under the willow tree in front of me, dressed as an unmarried woman, with her hands hugging her knees, teary, thinking about something!Qiu Tingxuan thought: "It turns out that I am not the only one who is unsatisfactory in this world!"

Ma Mingmei really didn't want to come today, but she couldn't help her mother dressed her up, forced her into the car, and sent her to the garden, telling her to have a few words with Wang Pingan about what happened outside the Ganye Temple that day.If Wang Pingan is interested, then everything is easy to handle. If Wang Pingan is not interested, then it is good for her to learn a lot at the poetry conference and see other scholars!

If Mrs. Ma was not too old to participate, she would have to come by herself, and now she can only let Ma Mingmei come by herself.Now that my daughter is growing up, for her own happiness, she should do her best no matter what, and she can't just make the parents anxious.

Ma Qianli once got an invitation card, but because he was going to the Yamen himself, and according to his boss, he had important matters today, so he was not allowed to ask for leave, so he didn't come.Ma Mingmei came to Furong Garden alone, and found that the host was quite irresponsible, and only flattered the big people, and it was impossible for the small people to get into their eyes. They didn't introduce her at all, and only a servant arranged for her. Get a seat very far back, and then no one cares about her!

Ma Mingmei could bear it at first, anyway, there are many other female family members in the flower shed where she is, and everyone can talk and talk, but after the song and dance drama started, it turned out to be the story of Wang Pingan, and those female family members They started talking about Wang Ping'an, talking endlessly, which made her very upset, so she went out of the garden and sat by the Qujiang Pond, thinking about her own thoughts!
Qiu Tingxuan paced slowly, walked over, stood beside Ma Mingmei, facing the pool, and said softly: "The world is unsatisfactory, and there are always seven or eight of ten, so there is no need to stop. Why think too much, why bother?" !" It seemed to be said to himself, and it seemed to be said to Ma Mingmei.

Hearing someone talking, Ma Mingmei quickly wiped away her tears, raised her head to look at Qiu Tingxuan, saw that it was a strange man, she couldn't help but blushed, stood up, lowered her head and left without saying a word.She walked too hastily, and the strange man behind said something, but she didn't hear clearly in a panic, her heart was flustered, she walked faster, and even started to trot.

Seeing her getting up and leaving, Qiu Tingxuan said casually: "Miss, you want to go back to the garden, the entrance is over there, you are going in the wrong direction!" Seeing that Ma Mingmei was walking too quickly, he frowned and thought: "You are going in the wrong direction!" The direction is to lead the water from the Qujiang River into the Furong Garden, where there are all bamboo pipes and waterways, if you want to enter from there, you have to take off your shoes and socks, or you have to jump far, just jump over it!"

Sighing, Qiu Tingxuan followed behind Ma Mingmei, and called Miss again, unexpectedly, Ma Mingmei ran faster, he was afraid of being regarded as a disciple, so he didn't dare to chase, so he followed behind. By the waterway, explain to her again, this girl seems to be in a hurry!
The distance is not too far, and in a short time, we are at the side of the waterway.I saw a small soil bag piled up in front, surrounded by thick bamboo tubes, and countless waterways. The purpose of these bamboo tubes and waterways is to divert water into the garden.

There is an unwritten habit of holding poetry and essay meetings in Furong Garden. I like to open a long and curved ditch in the garden. The clear water in the ditch flows, and I can put a small flower boat on it. Wine is placed on the flower boat. Jug and wine glasses.Others blindfolded and beat the small drum. When the drum starts, they put the flower boat into the small ditch. When the drum stops, whoever stops the flower boat in front of it will write a poem. , then you will be punished with alcohol.

But fine wine is a trivial matter, and embarrassing in front of everyone is a major matter, if you can't even write a poem, why do you participate in a poetry meeting?

The two, one in front of the other, had just arrived in front of the little earth bag. Before Ma Mingmei realized that she had gone the wrong way in a panic, she suddenly heard someone shouting in the garden: "Long live, long live, long live!"

Ma Mingmei stopped in her tracks with a cry, thinking: "Long live? Could it be that the emperor is here?"

Qiu Tingxuan was also taken aback, walked slowly to the side of the soil bag, tiptoed to look into the garden, but felt very uncomfortable.It turned out that just now Wang Pingan expected the emperor to come, so he asked people to come out to greet him. This was originally a great opportunity. He entertained guests at the gate of the garden, and no matter what he did, he could get closer to the emperor, but he wasted a great opportunity!

At the gate of the garden, there were countless carriages lined up, one after another, and the front one was the emperor's dragon chariot. Li Shimin, carrying all the civil and military officials, went out of the palace and came to the Furong Garden in person after he came down to court!

Everyone in the garden was listening to the song and watching the dance, when suddenly someone shouted: "The emperor is here!" Everyone was shocked, even Li Zhi was taken aback, he didn't expect his father to come suddenly, no one mentioned it to him beforehand This matter!

Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie stood up in the flower shed, looked at each other, and said in their hearts: "The emperor is really here!"

Not daring to be negligent, everyone ran out of the garden together and rushed to the gate of the garden to pick them up. The gate of the garden was so crowded that the scholars forgot to be reserved, and they all wanted to see the emperor's long face, and no one would let anyone else , They all squeezed forward desperately!

Crack, clap, whips sounded in the air, this is the empty whips from the escorting guards, warning the crowd, don't get too close, and if you dare to squeeze forward, be careful, the whips will not be empty, and they will be thrown directly on your heads!

Li Shimin stepped out of the dragon chariot, stood behind the railing in front of the car, looked at the scholars, with a smile on his face, put his hands on the railing, and nodded slightly.

Wang Ping'an is really not very good at flattery. He also ran out to meet the emperor, and his speed couldn't be said to be slow, but there were three or four hundred people who were faster than him, and they all squeezed into his. Go ahead!
The sudden arrival of the emperor resulted in serious chaos at the Furong Garden site!
Wang Pingan squeezed into the crowd, and heard Zhao Bi beside him crying, saying: "No disease, did you expect the emperor to come, why didn't you say it clearly just now, so we didn't come out to greet him in advance, if Come out one step ahead of time, now we are in front of Yujia!"

Di Renjie said angrily: "How can this be blamed on my elder brother, you are the ones who refused to come out!"

Wang Pingan ignored what they said, he looked at Li Shimin's dragon chariot, and his heart was full of horror!He saw not only Li Shimin standing behind the railing on the dragon chariot, but also a child in Turkic costume, and this child was none other than his new Turkic apprentice, Wu Youren!

Wang Pingan thought to himself: "Didn't he be recruited by Zuo Wuwei? He said that he needed his help on some official business. It could be that that official business was to accompany the emperor, but what about his status as the emperor's side... ah, it was Shi Zhongchen who said it." , but why is he talking about this?" Thinking of the fact that there were a lot of envoys, but the Turkic envoys were missing, the sweat on his head just slumped down!

A person flashed beside the dragon chariot. He was not young, and he was wearing an eunuch's uniform. It was Shi Zhongchen.Shi Zhongchen said loudly: "Masters face the saints, why don't you salute, if you don't worship now, when will you wait?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the excited crowd came back to their senses!That's right, how can you not kneel when you see the emperor?No matter who it is, kneel down quickly, Shanhu Long live!

The guards cleared the way, Li Zhi, Li Ke, and the princess sons-in-law came out of the crowd and came to the dragon chariot, and they also saluted Li Shimin. Li Shimin just nodded at them, but after the scholars shouted long live, he moved He raised his hand, and said with a smile: "All gentlemen, you are the pillars of the country. I love you very much. There is no need to be polite, let's live!"

The scholars shouted long live again, and then got up, while the envoys from various countries squeezed forward desperately, trying to get closer to the emperor!
When the scene became quieter, Li Shimin suddenly said: "I ask you gentlemen, what is the highest in this world?"

The scholars hurriedly replied: "The sky is the highest! Long live the emperor..."

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said, "What in the world can hold up the sky?"

Some scholars shouted: "Buzhou Mountain..." After shouting, they immediately regretted that Buzhou Mountain was broken, and it was a great disrespect to answer the emperor's question with the broken mountain.

The clever ones shouted: "He is a talent of pillars!" He was very happy in his heart. The so-called pillars are not just talking about himself!

But there are even smarter ones, who shouted: "Sycamore tree!" Very directly, they mentioned all the varieties of the pillars of talent.

Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "That's right, it's the phoenix tree. Without the phoenix tree, how can we get a phoenix? Gentlemen, you are the phoenix among men, useful people for the country!"

Hearing what the emperor said, all the scholars were excited, and some even burst into tears. The emperor praised himself, saying that he was the phoenix among men...

But Di Renjie in the crowd lay beside Wang Ping'an's ear, and said, "Brother, the emperor is talking about Feng Laiyi, but he is not talking about scholars!"

Wang Pingan was taken aback, not understanding the inner meaning of his words!

There is Feng Lai Yi, which comes from "Shang Shu", which is said to have been edited by Confucius, and the four characters "Feng Lai Yi" correspond to a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius", "It is not easy to have friends come from afar" Happy!

Scholars who didn't know the truth thought that Li Shimin was talking about them, but Di Renjie was quick-witted. He also saw Wu Youren, so this sentence did not refer to the scholars!
Sure enough, Li Shimin turned around and smiled at Wu Youren!Although Wu Youren was young, he was dressed luxuriously, and he could tell he was a Turkic aristocrat at a glance, which was different from what he wore in the temple, and it was obvious that someone had taught him what to do at this time.

Wu Youren knelt down on the car, and shouted loudly: "Turkic Anu, Ashina Qiboer, pay homage to God Khan!" After finishing speaking, he raised his body, opened his hands, and began to sing in Turkic!
Great God Khan, you are like the sun in the sky, without your light, pastures cannot grow, and Turkic children will starve; respected God Khan, you are like the rushing river on the ground...

Before Wu Youren finished singing, the other envoys also sang along, and they all praised Li Shimin loudly in their own languages!

Scholars don't understand Fanbang's language very well. Even if some understand it, they don't understand it very well when they sing it.However, just because they didn't understand, they knew that the envoys were praising the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so they became even more proud. language, to praise the emperor of the suzerain country!

The envoys squeezed to the front, knelt down, and surrounded Li Shimin's dragon chariot, each showing their voices, singing endlessly, each voice was louder than the other!
Li Shimin enjoys this kind of flattery very much, and he doesn't care about other flattery, but he likes this kind of foreign envoy kneeling on the ground, singing in nonsense, and flattering him. The feeling of coming to court can make him, an emperor, very intoxicated!
Wang Pingan stood in the crowd, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at the emperor through the ages. He saw that the emperor had a majestic face just like Yan Liben's painting, with a big beard on his lips and chin, and a beard on his upper lip. , Slightly upturned!
His eyes slid to Li Ke beside the dragon chariot, and he saw that the beard on Li Ke's upper lip was also slightly upturned.Now I understand that Li Shi's beard grew like this naturally, and Li Ke's beard was combed out!
