"Disappointed?" Seeing Xiao Han's expression, the "uncle" next to him asked with some gloating.
It seems that Xiao Han is not the first person he has pulled. He is already familiar with this...
"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable..."
Of course, Xiao Han would not say that he was really disappointed. In his heart, he thought that going to court should be a very solemn event.
After all, in this most powerful empire on earth today, all government orders and laws are issued from here. It can be said bluntly that every order here affects thousands of people! No matter what, it cannot become like a vegetable market.
"Uncle" blinked and grinned rather cunningly. Xiao Han could clearly see that half of the teeth in his mouth were missing...
"Hehe, I've seen several dolls like you. Old man, I started from the Zhou Dynasty, to the Sui Dynasty and then to the Tang Dynasty. Who hasn't seen you? Can your doll's thoughts deceive me?"
When Xiao Han heard this, he was immediately shocked. He quickly looked at this uncle whom he recognized halfway, and his eyes completely lost the sense of randomness before!
No matter who it is, it can be said to be a miracle that he can still stand in this court after changing dynasties three times!
"Forgive me, old man, Xiao Han is being polite!" Taking advantage of the noisy voices in front of him, Xiao Han knelt down and bowed his hands to the old man with a solemn face.
"Haha, being arrogant at first and respectful at the end is not what a gentleman should do..." Old Bole's eyes narrowed to a slit. If it hadn't been for the meeting, he would have laughed out loud by now!
Xiao Han knelt on the ground and smiled awkwardly. A gentleman is good, but a gentleman dies early... He doesn't want to be a gentleman. His biggest hope is to become a piece of meat that no one dares to mess with. I don’t want to offend anyone. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to live a happy life?
"Haven't you asked me your surname?"
"I, Qiu Fu, have you heard of it?"
"Hey, this junior doesn't know much about the personnel of the imperial court..."
"Hahaha, you kid knows how to say nice things. If you haven't heard it before, you haven't heard it before. How else can I treat you? But I have lived here all my life, old man, and there are really not many people who know me."
"The old gentleman is low-key, luxurious, and meaningful. How can those vulgar people understand it? Like the old gentleman who has survived three dynasties, there are not many people here..." Xiao Han's compliment was a little disgusting, and he even said Even he himself felt a little nauseous...
However, Youdao can be worn by thousands of people, and flattery can never be worn. Xiao Han's words may have touched Mr. Qiu Fu's itch. The old man squinted his eyes and looked around the main hall, and said softly and proudly:
"It's Si Chao! Why are you such a confused kid! But you are right later. Among them, only Li Gang and the others can compare with me, and the only one who is better than me is Mr. Yan Zhitui. , Taiqing, Chengsheng, Tianbao, Elephant, Kaihuang, Daye, Wude, passed through seven dynasties, but he has not come to court for many days. It is said that he is afraid of dying outside. Hey, where did this man die? Aren’t they all buried underground? He was such a good person, but as he gets older, he can’t see clearly..."
"Hehe, hehe..." Xiao Han smiled carefully. His old man could say this, but he didn't dare to say it. Yan Zhitui, who is that? The descendants of Yan Hui, the family has been passed down from the time of Confucius to the present. In the eyes of the world's scholars, it is the name of a gentleman!
For a little guy like him who talks behind others' backs, even if he is beaten to death after being overheard...
Qiu Fu glanced dissatisfied at Xiao Han, who was sitting upright, and muttered: "You are so young, you have no energy at all, it's boring!"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes, feeling that this old man hated me to death. He didn't care if he scolded others. Why was he always holding me back...
The sound in front of him was getting louder and louder, as if something was wrong. It just so happened that Xiao Han had no desire to continue chatting with such a mature guy. He was afraid that he would be led into a ditch while chatting, and he listened with open ears. In the front, there was a person with a particularly loud voice. The voice came from far away and was quite clear. It seemed that he was talking about food issues. I don't know who had such a loud voice.
But according to what Xiao Han knows, there should be a lot of food in Longxi and Longyou. Besides, hasn't the food in Taiyuan not been greatly affected yet? There shouldn’t be a shortage of food now!
Sure enough, after a while of quarreling, it quickly became quiet again, presumably the problem was resolved.
He raised his head and looked over from a distance, and saw Li Yuan on the dragon chair seeming to be asking something. He didn't hear clearly what he was asking, but he saw that most of the people below were shaking their heads. Xiao Han almost burst into laughter. This scene, It's like taking ecstasy...
Li Yuangao sat on the dragon chair, his slightly tired eyes scanning the ministers. This court meeting should be the simplest one recently.
The Tang Dynasty has now slowly opened up the situation. There are good news coming from three directions: west, north and south. There are close and capable ministers such as Xiao Yu and Pei Ji looking after the rule, but it can be regarded as a peace of mind. There is nothing below. Question. He was about to announce his resignation when he suddenly saw his second son, Li Shimin, winking at him frequently. Then he suddenly remembered that he had called Xiao Han to come to court today.
"Where's Chief of Military Weapons Xiao Han? Is Xiao Han here?"
"..."
No one answered, and all the ministers below were whispering, and everyone who knew it or not was asking who this Xiao Han was. How could an official from the Chief of Arms Supervisor, Chief Dou, be summoned by the emperor?
Li Yuan frowned. The buzzing below was filled with low voices. How could he hear his words? He stretched out his hand and pointed at the old eunuch standing next to him. The old eunuch immediately ignored him. He didn't know if the old eunuch was as pregnant as Wei Zhongxian. With his peerless internal strength, he opened his mouth and his high-pitched and thin voice suddenly spread throughout the entire hall like an ordinary tweeter.
"Weapon Superintendent Xiao Han meets you..."
Xiao Han was hiding at the back to watch the excitement. Leng Buding was almost stunned when he heard his name being called. He stood up quickly, opened his mouth and said: "Here he is, he is here..."
At this time, everyone heard it, and almost everyone looked towards Xiao Han. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were suddenly staring at him. Xiao Han was overwhelmed with preparations and almost couldn't walk. Just now After stumbling to the empty space in the middle, he bowed his hands and saluted.
Li Yuan smiled a little when he saw Xiao Han motionless ten feet away, and his unreasonable fear of Xiao Han's judgment on life and death disappeared a lot.
After all, he is just a child. Thinking of the last time I saw him, although he was a little restrained, his every move showed the youthfulness of the young man.
At first, I thought it was just a joke that he said Xue Ju was about to die, and I was even prepared to wait until he lost the bet to excuse him, but unexpectedly, he actually won the bet! And it won so beautifully! He should be credited with winning Longxi this time!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled and waved to Xiao Han: "Xiao Han, come on, come up and talk!"
"yes……"
When Xiao Han moved to the front, he saw clearly that Chai Shao and Li Shimin were both standing in front, especially Chai Shao. Looking at him, his mouth was wide open when he smiled, and his big white teeth were reflecting...
Xiao Han was just about to smile back when he suddenly saw Li Jiancheng, who was wearing a gorgeous golden crown next to Li Shimin, looking at him. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth. He quickly lowered his head, as if listening carefully, with just a pair of eyes. Li Gulu was wandering around, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Xiao Han, a person from Chang'an, improved the military medical system, transformed weapons, and was also familiar with fate. He predicted Xue Ju's orders in advance, allowing our army to prepare in advance, and thus defeated the enemy's army! Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"
Li Yuan read out Xiao Han's contribution with a smile. Before Xiao Han could answer, the ministers below were like hens exploding their nests, making any noise...
The military attachés in the row where Li Shimin was standing were okay, most of them had heard of Xiao Han, and all of them were relatively calm. But the civil servants in the row of Changsun Wuji had basically heard of Xiao Han for the first time. , according to Li Yuan, this young man obviously occupies a big position in his heart! Everyone is speculating, is this another upstart?
"Why is this emperor so unkind? Give me what I want. How dare I ask for it at will? If you want to annoy you, just take off my head. Who am I going to cry to? If I want to give it to you, just give it to you. What gold and silver treasures? That’s fine, but why are you here? Could it be that... the guy wants to cheat on me as a reward?!"
Xiao Han cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face. Seeing that Li Yuan was waiting for his reply, he had to hold his hands in front of everyone and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This is what a humble minister should do. I don't dare to ask for anything." A reward, otherwise, Your Majesty, please honor my original bet..."
"Hahahaha..." Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This kid is really interesting, but it's not a good habit to judge him with anger. Anyway, since he won it at the risk of his life, he will follow his wishes this time. , don't let this small-minded person hold a grudge.
"You kid, you really hold a grudge, but I was the witness in the first place, and now, there should be a result, um..."
Li Yuan pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to the old eunuch next to him: "Initiation: Hu, the Imperial Physician's doctor, is ignorant of things and is jealous of talents. He has taken away all positions in the Imperial Physician's Department and ordered him to return to his hometown. The vacant position will be temporarily filled by someone else... "
When Xiao Han heard that someone else was representing him, he suddenly became anxious. He quickly raised his head and whispered: "My master, my master..."
Li Yuan glanced at Xiao Han and said with a smile: "The position in Datang cannot be won by betting. Don't think about it now. But I heard from Shimin that your master also served in the army, so let Shimin Let the people make arrangements!”
When Xiao Han heard this, his heart finally settled in his stomach. Old man, old man, how should you thank me now? With such a good disciple like me, your ancestral graves are not emitting green smoke, but are emitting wolf smoke!
Li Yuan and Xiao Han were almost joking and settled the matter with a few words. No one else in the court said a word. Even the prince, who was wearing a golden crown uniform, looked at his nose and nose without any expression. .
Xiao Han was happily thinking about the old man getting promoted to a higher position. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something. Did he forget to give me a reward? The two boxes of treasures at home have already been eaten into one box, and I am about to stop. Why don't I see anyone paying me a salary?
He looked at Li Shimin timidly. Li Shimin didn't know what Xiao Han meant, and he blinked at him. Was there sand in his eyes?
But let’s not talk about it, Xiao Han can have it. As for face, what is that thing and how much does it cost per pound?
"Ahem, long live the Lord, that, ahem, is my reward..."
As soon as Xiao Han said these words, everyone in the room suddenly felt ashamed. In this court, Xiao Han was the first person to be rewarded for himself...
Seeing Xiao Han hesitate to speak, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing loudly. Shimin was right, he was really happy to be with this kid!
