The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 787 Chapter 770 Six: The Emperor Feasts Three People

When the three of them returned to the palace, they saw that Princess Mingzhu had removed the remnant seat, and a new pot of tea had been served.

The three of them were drinking tea and gossiping, discussing what kind of business to do!

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Brother, when do you think we will leave the capital, a place of right and wrong?
Since this place can't stay for long, I don't want to stay in this place for a day.

I want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, why are you so anxious about this matter, you live in my Xiaoyaowangfu, it is absolutely safe for a short time.

Do not worry!Nothing will happen in a short time, if something really happened, then I would have hid long ago.

You don't have to worry too much about this matter, once we stay in the capital, we will have to stay with him for a few months anyway.

After a while, I'm going to visit Huashan Mountain with my brother Tie Niu, so let's relax. "

Chai Shao blinked his eyes.

"I said brother, you two brothers can live freely!

It's about this time, you two still want to play! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Brother Chai, what are you looking at!

Let's stay in this capital for another ten days or 20 days, and we brothers and sisters will go to Huashan to play!

Now is the end of spring, which is a good time to travel!

Don't you feel that your life is wasted if you don't swim with such a beautiful scenery? "

"Wandering this life?
You think I'd like to do that!

However, I have nothing to do with it!

If there is a way, who would not want to have a rich and colorful life!

To be honest, I can't compare the free and easy spirit of you two brothers!
Compared with you two brothers, my brother and I live a bit of a waste!

well!It's really incomparable! "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, don't be sour, how many people envy you Chai Shao's nourishing energy!
No matter how much our brothers dance, it is incomparable to you!

We brothers know this better than anyone else!

If you say that our brothers don't live a little more freely, then what kind of work do we brothers have? "

Chai Shao blinked his eyes.

"I said Brother Tieniu, you are telling the truth!
Why do I feel like this is talking about me! "

Duan Wuji grinned and said: "Okay, okay, you two brothers, stop teasing.

You see, we also ate at the banquet. If there is nothing else, I think we should go back to the room and practice separately!
Let's wait a few more days, let's see what kind of princess my sister-in-law plans to make!

Brother Chai, after my sister-in-law seals the princess, you have to invite us brothers no matter what!

To be honest, my sister-in-law, as Li Yuan's daughter-in-law, should have been formally granted a policy long ago.

I don't know why, but this matter has been delayed until now.

Brother Chai, the time has finally come for you to feel proud!
Brother Chai, brother, let me congratulate you in advance. "

Chai Shao opened his mouth after hearing this, but he couldn't figure out how to answer it for a long time!

After a long time, Chai Shao murmured in a low voice: "My wife is conferred the title of princess, what's so rare about that!

Throughout the dynasties, the emperor's daughter was not conferred the title of princess!

Besides, the emperor's daughter I married is not the one to be punished, she will be made a princess sooner or later!

As for what kind of princess is named, what does it matter?

Anyway, the emperor only has two daughters, and the one I married is still a prostitute, so he will do as he pleases!

As for treating the two of you to a meal?
Now my brother and I are living in your palace!What do you think I'll take to you!
If you use the things in your house to cook and invite the two of you, isn't it difficult to handle this matter!
I'm going to tell my sister Mingzhu now, and ask her to prepare delicious food for us. Is it possible that I, Chai Shao, can't do this thing of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha? "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"My big brother! Why! Now you understand this matter!

Alright, let's stop chatting, let's go to practice separately! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji took the lead and left. When Tieniu and Chai Shao saw Duan Wuji had gone, the two brothers also turned and went back to their own room.

Five or six days later, a decree officer came to Duan Wuji's Xiaoyao Palace with the imperial decree.

The decree officer handed the imperial decree to Chai Shao with a smile.

"Chai Consort, congratulations, your wife has been officially named a princess, and her title is Princess Pingyang.

Isn't it?This is the imperial edict of the emperor, you should keep it well! "

After Chai Shao received the imperial decree, he had to take out two coins to give to the official who delivered the decree.

The official waved his hand in fright.

"I said Consort Chai, don't worry about it. Now is the time to reduce the number of personnel. If I ask for your reward at this time, if the higher-ups find out about it, the next official will have to be dismissed." Cut off fate.

To be honest, Xiaguan, I don't want to be cut because of such a trivial matter!

If I lose my job, I will be really miserable as an official! "

Chai Shao laughed!
"My lord, since you have said so, then I won't trouble you anymore."

Seeing that the edict had been delivered, the messenger immediately turned around and went back!

After sending off the messenger, Chai Shao turned around and came back again!

"Two brothers, to be honest, today is a great joy for me.

You two rest!
I'm going to the kitchen now, let the chef cook some good dishes for us to celebrate! "

After speaking, Chai Shao turned around and went out, and after a while, Chai Shao came back again.

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao's excited expression and smiled: "Brother Chai, my sister-in-law has become Princess Pingyang, I think your hard days are coming soon.

At that time, after you are chased out by your sister-in-law with the soles of your shoes, and you really have nowhere to go, you can come to my brother and me to shelter from the wind and rain. "

Chai Shao grinned when he heard this.

"I said brother, you can make fun of me with my brother!

Let me tell you, if you continue to do this, I will teach my sister Mingzhu how to deal with you!
I see if you still dare to talk nonsense. "

Duan Wuji blinked his eyes.

"I said Brother Chai, we guys are just kidding, what's the matter with her!

I think you'd better have less gossip, bro, can I toast you a few more glasses in a while? "

Chai Shao looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Brother, it seems that you are also henpecked, don't look at your bluff all day long.

In fact, you are not much better than me. "

In a short period of time, a sumptuous banquet was set up. After the three brothers sat down, they were eating and drinking!

At the banquet, Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and his brothers with a smile and said, "You two brothers, when are you going to visit Mount Hua?"

Duan Wuji listened and said while drinking: "No hurry, no hurry, after His Majesty summons us, let's take a long vacation with His Majesty, and then we brothers can go!

well!I said Brother Chai, why are you asking about that? "

"Don't do anything, the three of us are all vagrants! If you two are going, brother, I will follow you!

If there is any chance to make you rich, you two brothers, stop doing it secretly, and take me to do it together anyway! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, don't be so sad all day long, if we buddies want to make a fortune, isn't it easy?
However, this time our two brothers may spend a lot of time going out!If it's not three or two years, our brothers will definitely not be able to come back. If you want to follow us, I'm afraid it will be the same.

If you are willing to part with my sister-in-law, then let's go out together buddies! "

"I said brother, why did it take us so long to go out?

I went out for two or three years, what was the purpose of this? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"My brothers, I'm afraid we won't have any salary within two or three years.

I figured that there would be a bloody battle in our imperial court, so our brothers could just hide away with an excuse.

When the court calms down, let's come back again! "

Chai Shao understood Duan Wuji's meaning as soon as he heard it.

"Since this is the case, if you two brothers go, then I will definitely follow you!
You two brothers are hiding from disasters, my brother and I stay in the court, don't we also have to be affected by disasters?
When you two come back, I will come back when too! "

After drinking and eating, the three brothers went back to their rooms.

Four or five days later, this morning, the three brothers were sitting in the study drinking tea and chatting!

A gatekeeper came in and reported, "The Wang family is a thousand years old!
There is an official delivering the decree standing at the door, what should you do with this matter! "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Chai Shao and Tieniu: "You two brothers, since the official delivering the decree has come, let's go out to receive the decree immediately!

Let's see what the emperor summoned us for! "

The three of them walked to the gate, only to see an official in his 30s waiting for them at the gate!
Just as the three were about to kneel down to receive the order, the official who delivered the order stopped them with his hand.

"Three adults, there is no need to be too polite. I have ordered you to come here today. If you have nothing to do, then hurry up and go with me!

The emperor is waiting for you in the hall! "

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and Tieniu and smiled.

"Second brothers, since His Majesty called us! Then let's go quickly!

Save us from going late and being blamed by His Majesty! "

The three of them didn't go back to the house to change their clothes, they followed the decree officer and rushed straight to the imperial city.

Although the herald is riding a horse!However, the walking speed of the three brothers is not slower than his horse at all!

After entering the palace, the decree palace led the three of them to the gate of Suzaku palace, and the decree officer said to the three people: "You should stay here for a while, and hand over the decree when I go in!
I'll come out of the palace in a while and lead the three of you in! "

The three listened and nodded.

"Well! Then go in, my lord, it doesn't matter if we wait here for a while."

The herald officer walked into the Suzaku Palace, and he came out again shortly after.

"Prince Duan, Concubine Chai, and Duke Duan Guo, the emperor is here to invite you. I won't let you in as an official. You should go in by yourself!"

After finishing speaking, the messenger turned around and left. The three of them looked at each other, and immediately walked straight to the palace!

I saw that the palace was still singing and dancing, and there was a large group of court ladies, serving the emperor left and right.

Li Yuan looks good today, his whole face is full of red!

The three of them took a few steps forward, and when they came to the emperor, they pulled up their clothes and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for the edict to come. I don't know what your majesty is sending you!"

"Three lovers, don't be too polite, get up quickly!

I asked the three of you to come here today, and there is nothing serious about it. I just asked the three of you to gossip and increase the relationship between you and me. "

Li Yuan said to a group of court ladies next to him: "Why don't you hurry up and show them a seat!
The three of them are standing, how can they talk! "

Several court ladies moved three chairs and let the three sit down.

Duan Wuji looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your complexion is really good!

It seems to be enough to worry about recently! "

Li Yuan grinned when he heard this.

"That's needless to say! The internal affairs are constantly being completed, Yuanji, and the two brothers are busy with me to take care of everything recently!

Shimin takes care of the outside affairs for me, and now Guotai Min'an is just short of restoring national strength.

Now that I have nothing to do inside and outside the court, do you think I can worry about it!
Promise!The officials in the court have been cut down by 40.00% of the officials at once by our court, which can save a lot of expenses for the country every year!

It won't take three or two years for our country to recover completely.

When the common people live a better life, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The silver owed to you, within two or three years, I will pay back the three of them!

But, you can't ask me for interest! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao smiled wryly and said, "Looking for interest from your old man?

How dare you say the three of us!

Wuji and I are both your old man's son-in-law. This son-in-law asks his old father-in-law for interest. It seems that I have never heard of it!

As for my Brother Tieniu, he was a life-long good friend with our two brothers. If you say that neither of us asks you for interest, how can you say that he has the nerve to ask for it alone! "

Li Yuan grinned when he heard this.

"Well! That's good! I'm completely relieved!

I invited you here today because I just want to have a meal with the three of you, and I have no other intentions!
Come on!Hurry up and set up a banquet, today I want to entertain these three Qing families. "

Not too long, a very sumptuous banquet was set up by the maids.

The four monarchs and ministers sat around the table while eating and chatting.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your old man now, but because the three of us are burdened with huge debts, we have to ask your old man for a long vacation. We earn two small money Keep it up at home!"

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Really, have you guys thought about what to do?"

Duan Wuji shook his head!

"The three of us really haven't thought about it! However, no matter what, we can't stay at home for a long time!

We can't go on living through these days of sitting and eating!

In three days or two days, we will go to Huashan for a while, and when we come back, we will immediately start to do business! "

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Well! That's very good. The three of you don't have any salary now. If you don't want to solve the difficulties in your own life, how can you do it!

good!That's great!

I support you, this matter, even if I approve it!

As long as you can persevere, you can do whatever you want!

Now this country is considered peaceful, I don't think this country will need you in a short time, so you can go there with confidence! "

The matter was discussed during the meal in this way. After the four of them were full, the three of them wentssiping with the old emperor for a while, and then the three of them got up and said goodbye.

After coming out of the palace, the three of them rushed straight to the Xiaoyao Palace.
