As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, everyone stopped drinking and looked at him with different expressions.
"What? Taishan, Taishan Fengchan?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to Mount Tai this year to become a Buddhist monk?"
Xia Gongming directly put down the wine bowl in his hand, looked at Liu Mingzhi with complicated eyes and fell silent.
Seeing Xia Gongming's silent look, Liu Mingzhi picked up his wine bowl with a frown on his face, then turned his head and glanced at Song Qing and others who were looking at him in astonishment.
"Brother, Baoyu, you all watch what this young master does, drink when you should."
"Okay, okay, drink, drink."
"Yes, Commander, we know."
Liu Mingzhi slowly exhaled a puff of light smoke, and his frown gradually relaxed. After he lowered his head and took a sip of wine, he looked at Xia Gongming with an indifferent expression.
"Sir, why are you silent?
how? Do you think that with my current achievements, I am not qualified to go to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk? "
Xia Gongming shook his head and quickly stood up and saluted Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, I would never dare to think so."
Liu Mingzhi saw Xia Gongming's embarrassed look and waved his hand casually.
"Sir, there's no need to be nervous, just keep sitting."
"Yes, sir, thank you Your Majesty."
Xia Gongming thanked him and sat on the stone bench again.
Young Master Liu took another sip of the wine, put the wine bowl on the table, stood up with the tobacco bag, walked to the edge of the pavilion and stopped.
"Sir, since you don't dare to think so, then tell me what you think."
When Xia Gongming heard Liu Dashao's words, he looked at Song Qing with a slightly helpless expression, and Zhou Baoyu and others looked over.
Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu shook their heads quickly when they saw Xia Gongming looking at them.
Xia Gongming saw the reactions of Song and Qing and nodded with a wry smile.
Seeing Xia Gongming's delay in replying, Liu Dashan narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his mouth and gently took a puff of dry cigarette.
"My lord."
"The old minister is here."
"Why are you still silent?"
Xia Gongming looked at Young Master Liu standing at the edge of the pavilion and sighed with a complicated expression.
Under the sighing looks of Song Qing, Liu Mingjie and others, Xia Gongming picked up the wine jar at hand and poured himself a bowl of wine.
After Xia Gongming drank three large bowls of wine in a row, he wiped the wine from his gray beard with his fingers, got up and walked towards Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu heard the footsteps behind him and subconsciously looked back.
Seeing Xia Gongming walking towards him, Young Master Liu just frowned slightly and did not say anything.
Xia Gongming walked to Young Master Liu and stopped, then bowed and saluted.
"His Majesty."
"Master?"
Xia Gongming straightened up his stooped body, raised his hands and fisted into the sky where the snow was falling.
"Your Majesty, I have the courage to say something, I hope your Majesty will not take offense."
"Okay, sir, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
“Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the past is like the clouds of the past.
Therefore, some veterans of the past will not speak out.
Since Your Majesty became emperor, Your Majesty, you have personally conquered the two countries for gold.
After several months, he finally unified the world and established the Jiuzhou.
I am Dalong. The war between the former Jin Kingdom and the former Turkic Kingdom lasted for hundreds of years, causing the lives of the people of the three kingdoms to be devastated and the people to live in dire straits.
Finally, in the hands of His Majesty, it came to a successful conclusion.
It is just the achievement of unifying the world and establishing the Nine Provinces.
His Majesty's achievements are enough to be enshrined in Mount Tai.
After the unification of the world, Dalong's mountains and rivers are in ruins waiting to be revitalized, and the people feel at ease.
During his reign, His Majesty worked diligently, loved the people, and rectified the administration of officials.
It responds to the earnest wish of all people in the world to live and work in peace and contentment.
Reform the imperial examination and promote business. Open canals, promulgate new laws, and extend God's grace to all people in the world.
In a few years, my dragon will finally clear the sea, Yan, and rivers, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.
The prosperous age of the dragon is worthy of its name.
Externally, His Majesty made envoys to the Western Seas, opened up new territories and expanded territory, and made his power known all over the world.
All nations in the world must surrender.
All people in the world admire him.
Your Majesty's great achievements are unparalleled in history and history.
Even if His Majesty has such great achievements, he is not qualified to be enshrined in Mount Tai.
Looking at the emperors of the past dynasties, in addition to Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and the founder of the current dynasty, how many emperors are qualified to be enshrined in Mount Tai?
Your Majesty wishes Mount Tai to be enshrined in Zen, which is a blessing to Mount Tai.
But...but..."
After Xia Gongming said it, his expression became struggling.
"But... Your Majesty, after all... is... after all..."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Xia Gongming with a dull look, turned around and walked to the stone table, reached out and picked up a jar of wine and turned back.
Under Xia Gongming's complicated eyes, Young Master Liu picked up the wine bag and put it in his mouth.
Young Master Liu drank half the jar of wine in one breath, turned to look at Xia Gongming, and sneered a few times with a self-deprecating look on his face.
“Hehehe, hehehe.
Mr. Xia, you want to say that I am not in the right position after all, right? "
As soon as Xia Gongming lifted the hem of his clothes, he knelt down directly to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, this old minister deserves death. Please forgive me."
When Xia Gongming knelt down, Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and others hurriedly put down their wine bowls and stood up with embarrassed expressions.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Xia Gongming who was kneeling next to him with a complicated expression, raised the wine jar in his hand and started drinking.
The wine spilled from the corner of his mouth wetted a large piece of clothes on his chest, but Young Master Liu ignored it and continued to drink the wine in large gulps.
When Liu Mingjie saw his eldest brother looking like this, a look of worry appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously walked towards Young Master Liu.
】
Song Qing seemed to have guessed Liu Mingjie's thoughts and quickly raised his hand to stop him.
Liu Mingjie was stunned and looked at Song Qing doubtfully.
Song Qing saw Liu Mingjie's confused look and just shook his head gently at him.
Liu Mingjie hesitated for a moment, then silently put down his raised right foot and returned to his original position.
When the last drop of wine in the wine jar fell into his mouth, Young Master Liu put down the wine jar in his hand, looked at him with a faint look and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu and the others listened to Young Master Liu's hearty laughter and looked at Xia Gongming who was kneeling next to Young Master Liu with worried eyes.
Young Master Liu lowered his eyes and looked at Xia Gongming, and said in an extremely calm tone: "Xia Gongming."
This time, Young Master Liu did not call Xia Gongming Mr. Lao, but called him by his name.
Instead of calling him Sir, he changed to calling him by his first name.
Everyone present already knew how Young Master Liu was feeling now.
Zhou Baoyu, Song Qing, and Liu Mingjie looked at each other and looked at Young Master Liu standing on the edge of the snow viewing pavilion, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They all knew in their hearts that Young Master Liu was really angry this time.
Even though he hasn't really exploded yet.
Xia Gongming took a deep breath, and his body kneeling on the ground sank a little again.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Xia Gongming, Xia Gongming, your temper is really worthy of your name.
It is so fair and clear! "
"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt."
"Convicted?"
"Yes, I know the crime."
"Xia Gongming, you are really not afraid that I will take your head now!"
"Your Majesty, I have the guts to say this. Your Majesty, don't say that Mount Tai has conferred Zen status once, even if it is ten times.
The same is true for the history books of veterans.
A great achievement is a great achievement, a fault is a fault, and the merits and demerits can never be offset. "
Young Master Liu opened his eyes and looked at Xia Gongming with a gloomy expression.
"I have no intention of letting you change the history books, let alone tampering with the history books.
I just want to know if I am qualified to be granted Zen status at Mount Tai. "
In response to Young Master Liu's inquiry, Xia Gongming nodded without hesitation and answered firmly without even thinking: "Your Majesty, I am qualified!"
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the children who were drinking and having fun in the distance, and nodded with a pleased expression.
“It’s good if you’re qualified, it’s good if you’re qualified.”
Hearing what Young Master Liu was talking to himself, Xia Gongming relaxed suddenly and breathed heavily.
Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze and glanced at Xia Gongming blankly.
"Stop kneeling and get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Xia Gongming, today you have opened my eyes. It turns out that you are really not afraid of death!"
After Xia Gongming stood up, he sighed with a complicated expression.
"Hey, Your Majesty, I am afraid of death."
"fear death?"
"Yes, I am afraid of death."
"Since you are afraid of death, then you still deal with my problems like this."
Xia Gongming was silent for a moment hesitantly, and then looked at Young Master Liu solemnly.
"Your Majesty, as the chief minister of the current cabinet and the imperial censor, I am responsible for writing fair history.
As a historian, the veteran should have great righteousness.
For the sake of justice in history, we are not afraid of death. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded sadly, looked at Xia Gongming and asked softly: "What if I threaten your nine tribes?"
"Your Majesty, I would rather write history with blood than change it."
Mr. Liu nodded slightly, walked to the stone table with the empty wine jar, and threw the wine jar towards Liu Mingjie.
Liu Mingjie immediately reached out to remember the wine jar, bent down and put the wine jar under the stone table.
Liu Mingzhi picked up a wine jar again and walked silently outside the snow viewing pavilion.
"My lord."
Regarding Xia Gongming, Young Master Liu once again changed from calling him by his first name to "Lao Sir".
When Xia Gongming heard this, he immediately bowed to Young Master Liu.
"The old minister is here."
"Am I a good emperor?"
Xia Gongming nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, yes!"
"Where is it in the history books?"
“In the history books, what His Majesty said does not count, nor does what the old minister said.
Qing history is the most fair, and future generations will have their own conclusions. "
"Then, will my children still bear the infamy?"
"No, as a historian of the dynasty, I only write about the affairs of the dynasty."
Liu Mingzhidan smiled and nodded, looking at his children lovingly.
"Okay! Now that the boss has said this, I feel relieved."
"I know that I am guilty, and I am ashamed of Your Majesty's grace."
Liu Mingzhi shook his head gently, reached out and patted Xia Gongming's shoulder.
"My lord, there are upright ministers like you in the imperial court.
This is my blessing, the court’s blessing, and the world’s blessing! "
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly towards the outside of the Snow Viewing Pavilion.
"Brother, Baoyu, I'm leaving first, you can just drink by yourself."
"Hey, I got it."
"Commander, we understand."
"Mingjie."
"Brother?"
"I'm a little tired, so I'll leave you to accompany my eldest brother, Baoyu, Mr. Lao, Jiuniu and the others while they drink."
"Yes, I know."
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, raised the wine jar in his hand, took a few sips of wine, and walked straight out of the snow viewing pavilion.
Soon.
Young Master Liu's lonely figure gradually merged into the snow curtain with flying snowflakes all over the sky.
Xia Gongming looked at Young Master Liu's lonely back, flicked the hem of his clothes, and knelt down directly to Young Master Liu who was gradually walking away.
"Old minister Xia Gongming, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace. My Emperor, Holy Ming, may you live long live."
After Young Master Liu's lonely back disappeared completely into the flying snow, Song Qing immediately walked to Xia Gongming's side, leaned over and helped him up.
"Sir, His Majesty has gone far away, please get up quickly."
"Hey, thank you very much King Wuyi for his thousand years."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, let's sit here."
Zhou Baoyu sighed sadly, walked slowly to Xia Gongming's side, picked up the wine pot on the stove and poured a bowl of warm wine for him.
"My lord."
"Master Hou?"
After Zhou Baoyu poured himself another bowl of wine, he put on his heavy bear fur cloak and sat on the stone bench next to Xia Gongming with a melancholy expression.
"Sir, I offer you a bowl of wine."
Xia Gongming immediately picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly with Zhou Baoyu. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis. I will drink with you together."
Zhou Baoyu put down the wine bowl in his hand, took out the tobacco pouch from his waist, opened the pouch and gestured to Xia Gongming.
"Sir, would you like a pot?"
"Okay, okay, you're welcome, old man."
After Zhou Baoyu lit a pot of dry smoke, he turned his head and looked at the direction where Mr. Liu was leaving, and sighed melancholy.
"My lord."
Xia Gongming immediately covered the fire seal in his hand and looked at Zhou Baoyu with a puzzled expression.
"Master Hou?"
"My lord, let me tell you what I mean, I respect your character very much, my lord.
Just...just..."
Xia Gongming looked at Zhou Baoyu who was hesitant to speak, and sighed softly with a complicated expression.
"Oh, Lord Marquis, I understand what you mean.
If the Marquis has anything to say, you might as well say it directly. "
Zhou Baoyu nodded slightly and turned to look at Song Qing.
Song Qing noticed Zhou Baoyu's gaze, picked up the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, and nodded to Zhou Baoyu intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhou Baoyu received Song Qing's signal and picked up the wine bowl again to signal to Xia Gongming.
"Sir, let's have another drink."
"You're welcome, Lord Marquis, let's do it."
Xia Gongming put the wine bowl on the stone table and smiled bitterly with a complicated expression.
"Hehehe, King Wuyi, Lord Marquis, I am not a fool, so I naturally understand what you mean.
If you want to scold me, just go ahead and I will never complain a word. "
Song Qing put down the wine bowl in his hand and took a puff of cigarette.
"My lord, raising an army to rebel and usurping the throne by killing the king is a thorn in His Majesty's heart.
Your Majesty could not let go of this thorn for a long time.
Today is the Chinese New Year, a good day for the whole family to be happy.
Just, can't you make His Majesty happy? "
