The spring night is so short that it makes people forget to leave.
Li Shui was busy all night and couldn't get up the next day.
But this day coincided with the court meeting, so I had to go.
So, Wei Yang directed the two little maids to help him get dressed, wash up, and carry him to the carriage.
Li Shui was swaying on the carriage, drowsy, and before long, he had arrived at the entrance of the palace.
So he was carried down again and placed in a wheelchair.
Wu Jiao had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time. When he saw Li Shui arriving, he immediately pushed him to the Yizheng Hall.
A large group of courtiers were already waiting at the door of the Council Hall.
Chunyu Yue saw Li Shui arriving from afar, he chuckled and said, "It's quite early to banish the immortal today."
Li Shui woke up from his sleep, looked at the people around him, and rubbed his eyes: "Well, it's indeed a bit early."
The courtiers were a little speechless, and they dared to fall asleep all the way. This is the first time I have seen him go to court like this.
Not long after, Li Xin also arrived.
When he saw Li Shui, his face was full of resentment: "I didn't expect that, Brother Huai, you arrived early. You have forgotten your roots too much."
Li Shui sighed: "Mistake, mistake. I will maintain my original intention in the future."
Then the two started talking nonsense again, exchanging commercial blows.
I praise you for your uncanny calculations, and you praise me for my unparalleled battle prowess.
Chunyu Yue frowned as he heard this.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He shouted: "Exiled Immortal, Li Xin, you two, don't get too carried away."
"Today, we are going to discuss going to Mount Tai to pray for Zen. Don't you two care at all?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "We are sure to win, why should we care?"
Chunyu Yue was overjoyed: "The banished immortal is really confident. The civil and military officials in the dynasty are all people who know etiquette. How could they agree to take the train to Fengchan Taishan?"
Li Shui smiled and said, "If you are not convinced, how about we bet our lives?"
Li Xin coughed dryly and whispered: "Brother Huai, this is our sister-in-law."
Li Shui snorted: "I said it smoothly, I'm used to it, haha."
He said to Chunyu Yue: "Sister-in-law, we don't gamble with our lives. Whoever loses will be on the Daqin Daily. How about just writing an apology?"
Chunyu Yue blew his beard angrily and glared: "I want to gamble my life with you."
Li Shui waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't gamble with your life, don't gamble with your life. We are all people who know etiquette. It's too vulgar and barbaric to risk our lives at every turn."
Chunyu Yue chased Li Shui and said, "I insist on gambling."
Li Shui ordered someone to push the wheelchair to escape, while shaking his head vigorously: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I won't gamble."
The courtiers looked at this scene with a feeling of being alive.
Suddenly, Chun Yuyue stopped chasing Li Shui.
Instead, he looked at Li Shui warily: "I understand."
Li Shui asked in confusion: "What do you understand?"
Chunyu Yue said: "I understand why you are so confident. You must have threatened the courtiers and forced them to agree to build the train, right?"
Li Shui shook his head: "Taking the train is what people want, why should I force you?"
Chunyu Yue said: "I hope what you say is true."
At this time, the time has come, the door of the political palace is opened, and hundreds of officials enter the court.
The first item of the court meeting was about offering sacrifices to Mount Tai.
Chunyu Yue and Li Shui respectively recounted what they said that day.
Later, Ying Zheng asked the courtiers for their opinions.
Zhou Qingchen was the first to stand up, cupped his hands and said, "I think we should take the train."
Then, he talked about the advantages of taking the train, such as comfort, short time, and fast speed...
He almost said what Li Shui said again.
The parrot imitated Chunyu Yue's face with disdain.
Zhou Qingchen agreed with Li Shui, but Chun Yuyue didn't care. Everyone knew that Zhou was the loser of the immortal.
Later, Li Xin stood up again and talked about some of the benefits of taking the train.
Chunyu Yue didn't care. After all, Li Xin and Li Shui wore the same pair of trousers, and the courtiers in Xianyang City knew it.
But then several courtiers stood up and agreed to take the train. Chunyu Yue was a little strange.
These courtiers are not too close to the banished immortals. Even when everyone was drinking together, they even told jokes about banishing immortals.
Why do they also agree to take the train? It's really strange.
Immediately afterwards, several more courtiers stood up and also agreed to take the train.
Chunyu Yue was even more surprised. These courtiers had been banished to immortals in the court and were speechless. They were very embarrassed.
They should be very angry with Huaiguzi. Why are they all agreeing with him today?
Could it be that... Huaiguzi really threatened them?
Just when Chun Yuyue thought of this, he found that several Confucian scholars also stood up.
As expected, these Confucian scholars also supported Huaiguzi.
Chunyu quickly went crazy.
Except for a few important ministers, everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty seemed to agree with taking the train.
What on earth is going on in this world?
Why can’t I understand it more and more?
Chunyu Yue fell into self-doubt.
Could it be that...the emperor's six chariots are really going to be abandoned? Will trains become popular from now on?
But...why? Why did everyone suddenly change their attitude? Does this train really have such magic power?
Finally, Chunyu Yue looked at Li Si, Wang Wan and others.
These people were also surprised and didn't know what the surrounding courtiers were thinking.
They sided with Chunyu Yue and began to argue with each other.
Finally, Chunyu Yue said with great emotion: "Your Majesty, sacrificing sacrifice to Mount Tai is such a solemn and solemn event. How can you take the train just for the sake of convenience?"
"What's more, this train may not be as good as the banished immortal said. The smoke is billowing and the sound is like thunder. Sitting on it, I'm afraid my ears will be broken."
"What if the train disturbs the gods on Mount Tai?"
Wang Wan, Li Si and others also nodded in agreement and persuaded Ying Zheng sincerely.
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then finally nodded and said, "That's all, let's take the carriage."
In the end, decisions on major affairs in the DPRK still depend on the opinions of important ministers.
What's more, taking a train to worship Mount Tai is something that has never happened before, and Ying Zheng can't help but murmur in his heart.
excusable.
The meeting is over. All the officials came out one after another.
Chun Yuyue had been secretly observing the courtiers around him. When he saw these courtiers coming out, they were whispering to each other with regrets on their faces, as if they regretted that His Majesty did not choose the train.
This look is definitely not fake.
Chunyu Yue was a little puzzled: "Could it be that... they really hope that His Majesty will take the train?"
Chunyu Yue stopped a Confucian scholar he knew well and asked, "Why do you want His Majesty to take the train?"
The Confucian scholar coughed dryly and said, "Doctor, I think the Immortal is right. We cannot rest on our laurels and should accept new things."
"To put it bluntly, this train is also a kind of fairy weapon. If the train cannot be accepted, after the fairyland on earth is built in the future, won't we be at a loss as to what to do?"
Chunyu Yue: "..."
These words are really high-sounding.
But...why does he just not believe it?
Li Shui smiled and said to Chun Yuyue: "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to win. Fortunately, I didn't gamble my life with you. Otherwise, my life in this job would have been lost."
Li Xin said with a smile beside him: "Brother Huai, you lost this time. Do you want to publish an apology letter in Daqin Daily?"
Li Shui said: "A letter of apology? Forget it. After all, His Majesty has not set off yet. Maybe he changed his mind when he set off? I will wait until I come back from Mount Tai before writing."
Chunyu Yue didn't care about the apology letter at all.
He looked at Li Shui with a puzzled look on his face: "Huaiguzi, tell me, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into the courtiers? Why do they all want to take the train?"
Li Shui sighed: "It can be seen that your eyes are getting brighter and brighter. You can clearly see who is right and who is wrong. Sister-in-law, you have to keep your eyes open in the future."
Chunyu Yue: "..."
Throughout the whole day, Chunyu Yue didn't ask anything.
He returned home full of doubts.
Chunyu Jia saw Chunyu Yue's confused face and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chunyu Yue said: "I can't figure out why all those courtiers want to take the train."
"I asked some familiar courtiers in detail, and all their answers were high-sounding. I didn't believe it."
Chunyu Jia smiled: "Leave this to the villain. In less than an hour, the villain will find out for the master."
Chunyu Yue asked in confusion: "Can you find out?"
Chunyu Jia nodded and said, "Of course. Your Majesty is asking the courtiers. Courtiers are in high positions and are concerned about their face. They are not willing to say anything that is not worthy of publicity."
"But after the courtiers return home, they will inevitably talk to their servants privately, or they will overhear it when they talk to their families."
"At this time, our servants can inquire about each other's information."
Chunyu Yue nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense. When the general tabloid inquired about Li Jian's news, it was the servants who revealed it."
Afterwards, Chunyujia sent out his servants.
An hour later, these servants came back.
They said to Chun Yuyue: "Master, we have already asked. It turns out that the adults in the court, in order to seek a night of stability, all accepted money from the banished immortal. And the amount is not small."
"In this way, Banished Immortal cannot easily accuse them of treason. Because if they are convicted, no one will pay back to Banished Immortal."
Chunyu Yue was stunned when he heard this: "Is there such a thing? But what does this have to do with their support of taking the train?"
The servant said: "The courtiers were not short of money to begin with, but suddenly they borrowed a large amount of money, but they didn't know how to spend it."
"And the interest on the money is not low. If you keep it at home, you will only lose money every day. So they thought of a way. They invested the money in building the railway."
"The courtiers are looking forward to it day and night. After the railway is completed, there will be some income. At that time, not only can the interest be repaid, but also a huge profit can be made."
Chunyu Yue suddenly realized: "I told you why Daqin's railways have been built so fast recently, as if there is no shortage of money at all."
"And both the court and the local government are extremely supportive of building the railway. It turns out... they have all invested money."
The servant said: "These courtiers feel that if His Majesty takes the train to worship Mount Tai, it will undoubtedly be a publicity for the train."
"In this way, the money they invested before will be guaranteed to make a profit. Therefore, in the court, they desperately hope that His Majesty can make a train to Mount Tai."
Chunyu Yue nodded: "I see, that's it. These fools are really lost in money."
Then, Chunyu Yue breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Your Majesty did not listen to their opinions."
From this day on, Xianyang City became busy.
Everyone is preparing for His Majesty's tour.
Survey of the route, mobilization of troops and horses, selection of accompanying personnel...
It wasn't until a month later that everything was ready and Ying Zheng was ready to set off.
Fu Yao was left behind, and the prince supervised the country.
For less important memorials, Fu Yao could just decide on his own. Important memorials were delivered to Ying Zheng by Kuai Ma.
Ying Zheng sacrificed to Taishan this time to show off his achievements to God. But it also means to experience Fu Yao.
The important officials in Xianyang City who stayed behind included Wang Wan and Zhao Teng.
With this mature and prudent prime minister assisting Fu Yao, Fu Yao's decrees would not make too many mistakes.
And Zhao Teng is loyal, and with him guarding Xianyang City, Fu Yao's safety can be guaranteed.
Other important courtiers followed Ying Zheng to Mount Tai.
On this day, with clear skies, Ying Zheng set out.
He sat in a carriage, pulled by six horses, staggering towards Qi Di.
And Li Shui was sitting in the carriage, his mind filled with the lingering memories from last night.
Sigh... I really can't bear to part with it.
Suddenly, a person got into the carriage, it was Li Xin.
Li Shui asked in confusion: "Brother Li, didn't you just say that a man should ride a horse? Why are you riding a carriage too? And it's my carriage."
Li Xin said: "Don't I have something to discuss with you? Now that His Majesty has set off and has no intention of taking the train, what are you going to do?"
Li Shui smiled slightly: "In our fairy world, there is a law of true fragrance."
Li Xin: "What?"
Li Shui said: "Don't worry, wait for two or three days. Then we will find an opportunity for His Majesty to experience the train, and he will definitely not be able to leave."
Li Xin said: "Really?"
Li Shui hummed: "The journey is long and bumpy. Only after suffering can you know what sweetness is."
Li Xin left doubtfully.
Three days later, Ying Zheng had not yet suffered, but Chunyu Yue was the first to suffer.
Ying Zheng's carriage is as comfortable as a moving palace.
But Chun Yuyue's carriage was different. His old arms and legs soon couldn't bear the bumpy ride.
When riding a horse, he couldn't stand the wind and sand. Sitting in the car, his muscles and bones were about to fall apart. It was extremely uncomfortable and suffocating.
What's even more unfortunate is that he has been bumpy all day and has no appetite at all. He eats less and less.
Chunyu Yue suddenly felt a little worried: I won't... die here, right?
