"Yeah!" After hearing Lu Chen's answer, Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and nodded, "What Lu Aiqing said makes sense. After all, Lu Aiqing has only been in court for a short period of time, so it is reasonable that she would not be able to bear the posture of sitting down. , If not, how about I give you a soft cushion?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen with a smile and asked.
"What?!" After hearing Li Yuan's words, the officials of the aristocratic families looked at Li Yuan in disbelief. Not only did Li Yuan not punish Lu Chen for his rudeness, he even gave Lu Chen a soft cushion.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, someone on the civil servants' side expressed a different opinion, "I think this matter is inappropriate!" Following the words, one of the civil servants stood up and saluted Li Yuan.
Lu Chen turned to look at the person who spoke. This person was about forty years old, with three strands of long beard under his chin, and a fair face that gave people a gentle and elegant look.
"Shilang Chen, why is it inappropriate to say this?" Li Yuan looked at the man who stood up to speak and asked.
"Your Majesty, it has been a long time since Mr. Lu was promoted to the title of nobility. Didn't he know that he should sit down when he goes to court? Not only did your Majesty not punish Mr. Lu for his rudeness, but he even rewarded Mr. Lu with a soft cushion. If in the future, If other officials follow suit, how should Your Majesty deal with it?" The official, known as "Chen Shilang", glanced at Lu Chen and said plausibly.
And the words of Chen Shilang really made Li Yuan's heart tense. Li Yuan not only contributed the art of iron-making to Lu Chen, but also helped him make money. Soon, he would even grant Lu Chen a marriage and make Li Yuan his consort. It can be said that Li Yuan is very fond of Lu Chen now, so when he heard Lu Chen say that sitting down made him uncomfortable, he subconsciously said something about giving Lu Chen a soft cushion. Now that Chen Shuda said it, Li Yuan suddenly felt a little regretful.
But as an emperor, that is Jinkou Yuyan. Since he has already given Lu Chen a soft cushion, how can he take back this reward now? Li Yuan suddenly looked a little unhappy.
"Is this Minister Chen?" Lu Chen raised his hands to this Minister Chen, "Although His Majesty said that he would give me a soft cushion, did I accept it?" Lu Chen looked at the other person and asked directly.
"I find you civil servants really interesting!" Lu Chen's words were not directed at Chen Shilang this time. Instead, he glanced directly at these civil servants. "I am just stating the facts to His Majesty. Your Majesty cherishes his ministers. You just want to give me a soft cushion, and I haven't said anything yet, so why are you so anxious to come out?" Lu Chen said with disdain.
"Do you really think that I don't understand etiquette?" Lu Chen said again, "Although I said that sitting in the posture caused me discomfort, did I use the posture of sitting in the posture just now? Which one of you dares to say that I just did it? Aren't you sitting here?" Lu Chen asked the civil servants in a cold voice.
Although these civil servants are all criticizing Lu Chen's posture of sitting down just now, can it also be called the posture of sitting down? That swaying look is a bit like sitting in a posture, but if you want to say that Lu Chen is not sitting in the posture, you really can't say otherwise. If you don't sit down, you are not sitting down, but you can be sure that Lu Chen used it. It was indeed a gesture of sitting down, so when asked by Lu Chen, these officials from the aristocratic families remained silent.
"Mr. Lu County, don't argue with your words. Your posture of sitting in the posture is wavering. How can it be called the etiquette of sitting in posture? "Book of Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji" writes: Sitting and discussing the Tao is called a prince. Duke Lu, All the civil and military officials in this palace are dignified people, and the Lu County public servants can't even do the most basic posture of sitting in the posture, which is really beneath their status!" Chen Shilang looked at Lu Chen and retorted.
"Then according to Chen Shilang's wishes, if I can't do the cross-legged posture, will it mean that I can't be the county magistrate?" Lu Chen squinted at Chen Shilang, with a cold light in his eyes, and directly gave this Chen Shilang I was frightened for a while.
"Mr. Lu, I am just discussing the matter. I just want to remind Mr. Lu that since you are going to court, you must pay attention to etiquette!" Chen Shilang was stared at by Lu Chen. said.
"I know this, but I've been busy with my affairs recently, so you don't have time to study these sitting postures!" Lu Chen's words were still rude, "Besides, I have no official position, if it weren't for today I want to present treasures to His Majesty, so you think I am willing to come and see you!" Lu Chen gave these civil servants a blank look.
And after hearing that Lu Chen said that he wanted to "offer treasures" again, those who were good friends with Lu Chen, such as Chai Shao and others, also understood why Lu Chen came to court today. It turned out that he was "offering treasures" again. Although Lu Chen Chen told Chai Shao that "the plan is almost done", but Chai Shao actually didn't understand why Lu Chen suddenly came to court. Now that Lu Chen said it was to "offer treasures", Chai Shao could naturally think of what Lu Chen was going to offer. , but I just didn’t know what it looked like, so I looked at Lu Chen expectantly.
As for the faces of the civil servants, they didn't look very good. Some even secretly murmured: "It's just a show off!" Of course, they didn't dare to say this. After all, Lu Chen was presenting treasures to the emperor of the dynasty, so these words If he wanted to speak out, Li Yuan would definitely pull the person who spoke out and kill him with a cane. Don't think that Li Yuan has a good temper, so how did Liu Wenjing die?
"Oh? No wonder I'm still wondering why you are in the mood to come to court! It turns out you want to offer a treasure!" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen very happily and said, "Quick! What kind of treasure is it? Come and see it for me!"
"Your Majesty, the great treasure today is being guarded by my personal guards outside the palace!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan.
"Chang Bao!" Li Yuan called Chang Bao directly.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Chang Bao heard Li Yuan calling him, he hurriedly saluted Li Yuan.
"Go to Xuanlu Aiqing's personal guards and bring the treasure in for me to take a look at!" Li Yuan ordered.
"Yes!" Chang Bao bowed and saluted, then quickly walked out of Tai Chi Hall, summoned a chamberlain, and asked him to notify Liu Jing and others waiting outside the palace gate to deliver the treasure Lu Chen mentioned to Tai Chi Hall.
With little effort, Liu Jing, Su Dingfang, Feng Huai and others carried the wooden boxes into the Tai Chi Hall. As a few people walked into the Tai Chi Hall, everyone's eyes focused on the two wooden boxes carried by a few people.
A few people first gently put the box on the ground, and then presented Li Yuan with a gift. Li Yuan waved his hand to indicate that they would be exempted from the gift.
"Lu Aiqing, is this the treasure you mentioned in this box?" Li Yuan asked, staring at the two boxes.
"Your Majesty, that's right!" Lu Chen responded, then walked to the smaller box and slowly opened the lid of the box. As Lu Chen opened the lid of the box, everyone was attracted by the contents of the box. At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because Lu Chen had a neat set of glass tableware in this small box, from goblets to glass bowls, Lu Chen made a set of twelve, and placed them neatly in the box. As Lu Chen Opening the lid of the box, sunlight shone into the box, making the set of glass tableware inside suddenly appear crystal clear.
"Good! Good! Good!" This set of glass tableware made Li Yuan excited. "This is such a treasure!" Li Yuan praised without hesitation.
"Your Majesty! This is just a set of tableware! There are better ones!" Lu Chen said as he opened the slightly larger box. As the box was opened, the entire Tai Chi Hall was silent, and everyone There were expressions of shock on people's faces, because the contents of this box really exceeded their understanding.
A crystal clear glass dragon, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight, appeared in the box. If it were just a glass dragon, it wouldn't be enough to explain anything. What shocked these people the most was that this dragon actually had... Color, and there are even clouds next to the paw.
"This is..." Even Li Yuan was shocked by the glass dragon presented by Lu Chenjin, and it took him a long time to say these two words.
"Your Majesty, this is the colorful glazed dragon that I found for your Majesty. I hope your Majesty won't dislike it!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan and said.
"I don't dislike it! I don't dislike it!" Li Yuan almost blurted out these words, but as an emperor, he still had to maintain a certain degree of reserve. As soon as Li Yuan was about to say these words, he held back.
"This is Lu Aiqing's intention, how could I dislike it!" Li Yuan said pretending to be reserved, but his hands under the dragon's bookcase were already trembling with excitement. Li Yuan now wanted to go to court quickly so that he could go back and play with this piece. The colorful glazed dragon, although Li Yuan also knew that this thing was definitely made by Lu Chen, the shape and craftsmanship really made Li Yuan very fond of it.
"As long as your Majesty likes it! I'm really afraid that your Majesty won't like it!" Lu Chen said with a bit of a swish, and as soon as Lu Chen said this, the civil and military officials rolled their eyes in anger,
Those officials thought to themselves: "Just show off! Who are you insinuating here!" Many people began to feel sour in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, I have something you don't know whether to say or not?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and asked.
"Oh? What's the matter with Lu Aiqing? But it doesn't matter!" Li Yuan's eyes were focused on the colorful glazed dragon. Just as Lu Chen closed the lid of the box, he ordered people to move it to his bedroom. Therefore, after hearing Lu Chen If so, he responded without thinking.
"Your Majesty, actually this colorful glazed dragon is one of the twelve zodiac signs!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yuan and saluted and said, "But your majesty also knows that Wei Chen is too shy to buy them all, but Wei Chen knows that this colorful The Glazed Dragon can only be owned by Your Majesty, so I spent all my money to purchase these two boxes of treasures!" When Lu Chen said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When the officials from the aristocratic families heard Lu Chen's words, their eyes lit up. They were not short of money, and only Chai Shao knew what Lu Chen's words meant after seeing Lu Chen!
