"The string is broken?"
Eunuch Liu was stunned for a moment and asked strangely, "Isn't there a spare one?"
"It's just that the spare one broke." The little eunuch said with a sad face, "The strings of the piano broke during the rehearsal early in the morning. They just sent it to be repaired. The spare piano has not been used for a long time. The musician just wanted to get familiar with the new piano. As a result... he gave it to him as soon as he started using it. broken."
At this time, Eunuch Liu was also anxious, "Hurry up and get it repaired!"
"I won't make the trip!" The little eunuch was so frightened that he cried.
Eunuch Liu also had an earthy complexion.
If it's broken, the future is gone, and you'll inevitably have to face the consequences.
Although these slaves in the palace had no worries about food and clothing, they were not easy either. Li Qing saw that they were really pitiful and said:
"Your Jiaofang Department is under the control of the Rites Department, right?"
"Yes, yes," Eunuch Liu nodded, "Master...is there anything you can do?"
"I'm not a member of the officialdom, what can I do?" Li Qing said with a smile, "If there is a problem, you have to report it. You don't even understand this?"
"Report it..." Eunuch Liu's hope was extinguished in an instant, "Reporting it can hardly offset the sin."
At this moment, Wang Hua came over.
"It's really Mr. Li," Wang Hua cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Li is also here for the banquet, right?"
"Well, it's hard to refuse the Emperor's kindness." Li Qing returned the favor with a smile.
Eunuch Liu knew Wang Hua, and saw that Wang Hua knew Li Qing, and seemed to be very familiar with him. He once again ignited hope and bowed hurriedly: "Master Wang, something happened!"
Wang Hua frowned, "What happened?"
Eunuch Liu immediately explained the matter briefly and concisely, and then looked at Wang Hua with a pleading look on his face.
"This matter..." Wang Hua pondered for a moment and said: "Everything remains as usual, I will help you ask."
This was a matter for the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't want to stay out of it.
"Hey, thank you very much, Mr. Wang."
"Don't thank me in a hurry." Wang Hua waved his hand and then said to Li Qing, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to accompany you."
Li Qing returned the courtesy, "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Eunuch Liu looked at Wang Hua's back eagerly for a long time, then looked away and looked at Li Qing, "Thank you for your generous action."
Li Qingle said: "You are really interesting. The person who solves your problem is Wang Yuanwailang. What do you have to do with me?"
"Young Master misunderstood, we are saying..." He looked around and said softly: "You were invited by the Supreme Emperor. I think you can talk to the Supreme Emperor by coming here. Can you..."
He covered himself with his long sleeves and handed Li Qing money.
Li Qing accepted the money and did nothing, but he was not worthless enough to accept the money from the eunuch, so he immediately refused: "No!"
At this time, the Jiaofang Si also arrived, and Li Qing realized that this area was used by the Jiaofang Si to play music after the banquet. So, he walked away, changed to a quiet place, and continued to read the storybook.
The father-in-law wanted to follow him, but after a moment's hesitation, he gave up.
Xu Shi felt that it was impossible for a non-official person to help him solve the problem.
In fact, slaves in the palace who made mistakes were rarely executed. Most of them were sent to do hard work, such as cleaning toilets and pouring swill...
If it's more serious, it's like beating the imperial staff.
Unless a big shot at the level of an emperor or empress dies, a servant who refuses to cry is a principled error and his head will really be beheaded.
…
Li Qing didn't pay attention to this episode and continued.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the tables and chairs were basically placed, and all the officials ended their conversation and took their seats.
At this time, Li Qing was in trouble.
He didn't know which table to sit at!
Before that, the last time he had sat at the table with the minister, and most of the time he had sat at the table with the emperor.
Unfortunately, things are different now. He is completely out of the official system and is not suitable to sit anywhere.
Damn it, why did you forget about this... Li Qing was depressed. It was almost time to serve the food. He was really unwilling to leave at this time.
Why don't you go? Where can I sit? ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
It can be said that except for Zhu Jianshen, no one present knew him, so it would be too embarrassing to force him into it.
Just when he was in trouble, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Youtang, and today's protagonist Zhu Youqi, father and son, came together.
Zhu Jianshen was very discerning and saw Li Qing at a glance. He threw away his two sons and walked straight towards Li Qing.
It doesn't matter if the ministers salute, or if they don't, they just stand there like a fool.
Before Zhu Jianshen arrived, he smiled and joked: "Hey, didn't Dr. Li say he couldn't come yesterday?"
"Haha," Li Qing sneered, cupped his hands in a pretentious manner, and said: "It is really difficult to give the Supreme Emperor a prescription to regulate his body. The common people came here today just to report to the Supreme Emperor, but there is nothing the common people can do."
Zhu Jianshen: "..."
At this time, the eyes of the officials followed Zhu Jianshen and focused on Li Qing.
Seeing that he was a commoner who refused to worship the emperor, they were a little angry, but the emperor didn't care. They didn't want to have a feast on this festive day and ruined the atmosphere. They just gave Li Qing a hard look.
"Look at you, you can't make any jokes." Zhu Jianshen whispered, "Hurry up, my joy in life depends entirely on your prescription."
Li Qing rolled his eyes, and after scanning for a week, he asked, "Should I open a table by myself?"
Zhu Jianshen followed his gaze and saw that the seats were packed. He couldn't help but feel his face heat up and said sarcastically:
"What, I thought you wouldn't come, so I didn't prepare anything for you."
"Then shall I leave?"
"Look, don't be anxious." Zhu Jianshen said hurriedly, "Is it okay to sit at the same table with me?"
Li Qing frowned: "It's too eye-catching."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Jianshen said, "No one knows your identity. You, a person who has fought through thousands of troops, still care about dazzling your eyes?"
"Indeed." Li Qing nodded.
It was Zhengtong five years after he entered the court for the second time. Decades later, the officials who had seen his young appearance were long gone. You know, Zhen'er was still a little girl at that time.
Li Qing followed Zhu Jianshen to the emperor's imperial table.
At this time, father and son gathered together.
The ministers then began to salute, "I see you, the Supreme Emperor, and long live my emperor."
Li Qing and Zhu Youji naturally wanted to avoid the sacrament, so now they were crowded together.
Zhu Yougao looked at Li Qing, and Li Qing was also sizing up Zhu Yougao. After looking at each other, the two of them moved their eyes elsewhere in tacit understanding.
Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Jianshen. Zhu Jianshen just raised his chin slightly. Then Zhu Youtang said:
"All the gentlemen, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up and returned to their seats to sit down.
At this time, the music of Jiaofangsi sounded.
Then, delicacies from the mountains and seas were served one by one...
It took a while to serve the food. Li Qing listened to the music quietly and found that the problem of broken strings had not been solved and there were missing syllables.
There are many literati who are proficient in music theory. Not only Li Qing heard something wrong, many officials also noticed something was wrong, but it was difficult to say it out.
Zhu Youtang said: "Father, the Ministry of Rites just reported that one of the strings of the Jiaofang Si's zither was broken, and it was too late to replace it at the last moment. So I made the decision and let them play like this. Today is a good day for Youqi to be conferred. Because of this little episode, it’s unpleasant and not beautiful.”
"You are just too kind." Zhu Jianshen shook his head and laughed, paused, and then said, "However, as long as these slaves who serve others do not do it intentionally, it is okay to forgive them a little, but they cannot go too far."
Xu Shi felt that if he interfered too much, it would damage his son's self-confidence, so Zhu Jianshen changed the topic again:
"You can do it as long as you see it."
He also has the mentality of "occasionally preaching a few words, but not going too far."
Zhu Youtang nodded, then looked at Li Qing and said, "Miracle Doctor Li, you have done a great job in curing the Supreme Emperor. I want to reward you."
"How dare the common people invite rewards?"
"Huh? Of course you will be rewarded for your merits." Zhu Youtang smiled, "Just ask for anything you want, and we won't refuse."
His father's illness was cured, how could he not express his gratitude as a son?
If you don’t express it, you are unfilial!
Zhu Youtang really wanted to reward him, and his "nothing is not allowed" was not empty talk. Of course, the premise is that it cannot be too excessive.
The ministers looked envious, but they couldn't say anything.
Saving the emperor's life can even be equated with saving the national painting. Promotion and promotion are not too much.
Li Qing smiled, cupped his hands and said, "The common people have no pursuit of official titles, and they are used to being idle. If the emperor really wants to reward me, then he should reward me with some gold and silver."
In Zhu Youtang's view, these words are saying: I want to be promoted to a higher rank!
Zhu Youtang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I promised at the beginning that as long as you can cure your father, I will make you a marquis..."
"It's really not necessary." Li Qing declined quickly and secretly winked at Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Jian smiled deeply and said, "Why force someone to do something difficult? Just reward him with some gold and silver."
Zhu Youtang had to express his feelings, but Zhu Jianshen was different. He was the party involved, so to speak.
"That's okay." Zhu Youtang said, "Miracle Doctor Li lives in Lianjia Village now, right?"
"Well, the Supreme Emperor asked the common people to live there temporarily," Li Qing nodded. "The place is clean and allows the common people to calm down and study medical skills. It is not too far from the palace, and it will not waste time to diagnose and treat the Supreme Emperor."
The small courtyard in Lianjiatun'er is where Yongqing Hou Li Qing once lived. Many people know this.
He said this to give himself a reason to live in the Lianjiatun'er courtyard to prevent anyone from thinking nonsense.
In fact, he was completely over-worrying, and no one even thought of him and Li Qing together.
Zhu Youtang nodded, smiled and raised his glass: "I would like to propose a toast to you, sir."
Li Qing had no choice but to show off his temper and said hurriedly: "The common people are scared, how can you expect the emperor to be like this?"
"Deserved, deserving."
Seeing this, Zhu Youqi raised his glass and said, "I would like to propose a toast to you, sir."
Okay... Li Qing raised his glass, clinked it with the brothers, drank the wine in one gulp, and then looked at Zhu Jianshen.
'Stop dawdling, let's get started! '
Zhu Jianshen understood what he meant, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small shrimp.
When Zhu Youtang saw this, he laughed and said, "My dear friends, don't be restrained."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The ministers also let out a long sigh of relief: after being hungry for most of the day, the banquet is finally over...
Li Qing always calls himself second when it comes to eating.
At first, he was still pretending, but soon his true nature was revealed and he started to stand up and pick up vegetables.
Zhu Jianshen didn't think it was anything, and Zhu Youtang wasn't too surprised either.
At first, when Zhu Jianshen was seriously ill, Li Qing often contradicted him. Zhu Youtang had a good temper and thought that the country people had not seen the world and could not be punished harshly.
Zhu Youqian was shocked and looked at Li Qing with a strange look in his eyes.
Good fellow, you are not polite at all. You are so relaxed in front of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor...
