After Li Tai sat down, everyone's attention naturally turned to Yang Fan.
Most people here don't know Yang Fan, because most of them are officials working in various provinces and state capitals.
However, Yang was so cool at this time that it was impossible to avoid people's attention.
On the one hand, Yang Fan is dressed in a vermilion official uniform at a young age and wears a silver fish bag on his waist. He is definitely a rising star.
On the other hand, they were wondering why this boy was carrying three large water tanks into the Tai Chi Hall?
Could it be that this person got the official position through flattery and wanted to take advantage of this happy day to do something to please His Majesty Li Er?
For a moment, most people's eyes were full of contempt.
Although they may have different positions, everyone is a man of action, and the most despised thing is those who flatter others.
Of course, Yang Fan also noticed everyone's strangeness, because the eyes of these officials were full of naked contempt and disdain.
I couldn't help but mutter to myself, I didn't know these old guys, and I didn't sleep with their daughters-in-law. Could it be that I was jealous that I was so handsome?
Seeing Li Shimin looking at him doubtfully, Yang Fan was about to move forward.
But as soon as I lifted my feet, I almost staggered, feeling that the weight of these water tanks fell entirely on me...
Turning around, I saw Xue Rengui's face was red, veins were popping out of his neck, his hands were holding his head tightly, and his legs were straight and motionless.
Yang Fan was a little strange and asked: "What's going on?"
Xue Rengui slowly lowered his head, put on an expression that was uglier than crying, and said: "So...someone's feet won't obey the command!"
Yang Fan quickly reacted and was speechless. It turned out that he was scared.
He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "They are really worthless, just treat them like idiots..."
Yang Fan actually understood this situation.
Yang Fan met him once in his previous life.
At that time, the city leaders came to their company for inspection, and the boss asked Yang Fan to go and make a report.
Even though Yang Fan had been preparing for a long time, when he actually met the leader, he was still nervous and at a loss.
Now that Xue Rengui was meeting the overlord Li Shimin for the first time, it was natural for him to be a little nervous.
Human beings can only be called human if they have emotions and fear.
Those who have never seen anything, but say they can live day and night, are actually the ones who have never seen the world.
Seeing what Yang Fan said so simply, Xue Rengui had a sad face and was about to cry.
The officials here are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and the one sitting on top is the emperor.
Think of these people as wooden people. Are there such noble wooden people in this world?
Besides, this is the Tai Chi Palace, the power center of the empire.
If Yang Fan hadn't brought him here, he might not have been able to enter this hall as a small eighth-grade sesame product.
Now that not only had he come in, but so many ministers were watching, it would be strange if Xue Rengui didn't panic!
Despite this, Yang Fan did not want to let Xue Rengui go.
Because today was originally meant to exercise this guy's courage and character.
Yang Fan had high hopes for Xue Rengui, a future famous general.
If an emperor and some ministers made this famous general timid, how could Yang Fan dare to let him take on greater responsibilities in the future.
So he had to lower his voice and say sincerely: "Whether it's the emperor or the ministers, they all carry one head on two shoulders. How can a dignified man bend his waist because of power?"
In fact, Yang Fan was a little too hasty!
As a time traveler, the education about respect and inferiority received was not as strict as in feudal society, and I was more curious about the emperor than afraid.
Xue Rengui was different. The education he received since childhood was that the power of kings was given by heaven. Li Shimin belonged to the emperor and represented heaven's justice.
Today is the first time to meet the emperor, so he seems so nervous.
If an ordinary person were forced like this by Yang Fan, they would probably have a nervous breakdown and wet their pants.
However, as a future famous general, Xue Rengui does have some background and a good character.
It only took a few breaths for his eyes to change from fearful to confused and finally firm.
This made Yang Fan secretly nod, and he really lived up to his expectations.
After looking at each other, the two of them walked forward carrying the water tank.
Although Xue Rengui's steps still felt a little stiff, there was no dragging feeling just now, which made Yang Fan very relieved.
People whose reputations can be passed down through the ages are indeed much more tolerant than ordinary people in certain aspects.
When they arrived at the meeting place with the emperor, they put down the water tank.
Because these water tanks are filled with soil, they appear very heavy, which can be heard from the sound of the water tanks being lowered.
Since he was here to send blessings, Yang Fan certainly did not feel guilty and bowed directly and said: "The purple air comes from the east to fill the lintel, and everything is renewed and auspicious snow flies; the winter plum blossoms bloom proudly against the frost, and the sheep step on the snow with a fragrance; capture the spring scenery into the heart, It turns into a blessing to send to the king; all welcomes and send-offs are auspicious, everything goes well and the dragon is in good health. I wish your majesty a happy new year, and may your majesty live long live and long live..."
Yang Fan directly wished His Majesty Li Er the New Year with a poem.
At first, everyone thought that this boy had some poetic talent, but the more they heard about it, the more they heard about it, and they all secretly cursed him as a flatterer.
I was even more certain in my heart that this boy, who was wearing a vermilion official uniform at such a young age, must have been flattered.
The look in Yang Fan's eyes was both jealous and contemptuous. It was extremely contradictory.
When His Majesty Li Er heard Yang Fan's words, although he was very happy, his face did not change at all, and he even secretly cursed Yang Fan for being such a stick.
This can be said in private, but how can it be said in public?
Hu eyes stared at Yang Fan and shouted in a deep voice: "You think I am a foolish king. You dare to please me with such flattery. You are really a traitor! What crime should you do?"
Looking at Li Shimin who kept grinning, Yang Fan secretly said that this guy was not authentic.
This hypocritical guy wants to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time. He is so shameless!
However, he did not dare to confront His Majesty Li Er on this occasion.
After all, this guy was unhappy. If he was beaten directly, where would he be able to reason with?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan quickly pretended to be frightened: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me for this. The reason why I am like this is because I got auspiciousness not long ago, and I want to take advantage of this happy day to present it to Your Majesty. I was a little excited just now. , so I made a mistake..."
When he heard it was Ruixiang, Li Shimin immediately became interested.
Li Shimin didn't even bother to take a look at the rare treasures that court officials and envoys sent to them every year.
After all, what's there to see about the same old stuff?
But when he looked up, he saw three large water tanks next to Yang Fan, which made Li Shimin confused.
He asked with some uncertainty: "What kind of jars are these Ruixiang you are talking about?"
Yang Fan nodded and said nothing.
Seeing that the opportunity finally came, Li Tai rushed to say: "Father, these water bottles have been carefully observed by the ministers. They cost a few pennies a mouthful in the market, but now Uncle Zhongyi said it was Ruixiang, obviously trying to deceive the father." , please ask Father to punish him for his crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors!"
Li Shimin had a question mark on his face and turned to look at Yang Fan, obviously wanting an explanation.
Yang Fan glanced sideways at Li Tai and said calmly: "Your Highness, who has ever said that these water tanks are Ruixiang?"
Li Tai was stunned, then stood up and came to the water tank. He picked up some soil with his hands and looked at it carefully. He also looked at the plants in Yanba and finally determined that they were all ordinary things.
He wiped his hands with a brocade handkerchief in disgust, and said calmly, "Since the water tank is not auspicious, Uncle Zhongyi wouldn't say that gold can be grown from this soil, right?"
After saying that, he laughed proudly.
Yang Fan was not afraid, but instead teased: "This soil can indeed grow gold..."
Li Tai snorted coldly: "Humph, Uncle Zhongyi is so eloquent, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
All the ministers in the hall were immediately in an uproar, and they all denounced Yang Fan's irresponsible words.
Does this boy dare to amuse me?
Li Shimin's face also turned a little dark.
