Chapter 917 Cheng Guogong.

After everyone understood what was going on, the eunuch who came to report urged: "If there is nothing to do, go to the palace quickly, and the servants still have a few ministers to inform, so I will not accompany you." ”

After the eunuch finished speaking, he saluted Ye Xing, and then got up and left the Zhongshan Palace.

And at this time, Ye Xing also got up and said: "Now that the Blue Blood Exquisite Pearl is in the palace, let's go and take a look!" ”

Everyone has long been fascinated by the blue blood exquisite pearl, and now that they have this opportunity, how can they let it go!

The noon of the autumn day was still a little hot, Ye Xing and the others came to the palace after passing through a few streets, at this time, Zhu Di was receiving Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, at the Pavilion Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and Ji Gang and a group of ministers were followed next to him.

Ye Xing and the others hurried over, and after saluting Zhu Di, they retreated to the side, about a stick of incense, the people had already come, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and asked: "Aiqing, now that the ministers are almost here, please take out the blue blood exquisite pearl for everyone to enjoy." ”

Zhu Yong is a burly man, after listening to Zhu Di's words, he didn't say much other nonsense, and after obeying the order, he took out a box from himself, the box was dotted with a lot of jewelry, which was very expensive, and everyone saw this, and secretly muttered in their hearts, something that can be decorated with such a good box must be very precious.

The box opened, and a faint red light emitted from the box, although the red fire was a little faint, but after everyone saw it, they were already surprised, and it was the first time they had seen the pearl that could emit light during the day.

After Zhu Di saw the blue blood exquisite pearl, his face suddenly became excited, and said: "Okay, good baby, I heard Aiqing say that if you put this blue blood exquisite pearl in the house at night, it can shine on the whole room with a reddish color, right?" ”

Zhu Yong hugged his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, it is indeed like this." ”

Zhu Di nodded: "In that case, in the evening, you Aiqing will come to my palace again, and we will see the style of this blood exquisite pearl again." ”

Seeing that Zhu Di was so happy, Zhu Yong was also very excited, after all, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you must coax the emperor to be happy, but just when Zhu Yong was happy, Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Aiqing, this blue blood exquisite pearl is such a treasure, how did you get it?" ”

Zhu Di's face was slightly strange, but the time for this strangeness was very short, and after a while, Zhu Yong hurriedly replied with a smile: "Back to the emperor, this blue blood exquisite pearl is Wei Chen from a Western Regions jewelry dealer obtained, Wei Chen knew that the emperor's birthday is coming, so he thought about sending some gifts, if it is to send the local products of the fief, it is a little too aggrieved to the emperor, and just when Wei Chen didn't know what to give, a merchant from the Western Regions passed through Wei Chen's fiefdom, and sold this blood exquisite pearl in the market, Seeing this, Weichen immediately liked it, so he bought it as a birthday gift for the emperor. ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and said: "Aiqing can always think about me, I am very pleased, so I don't know how much silver Aiqing spent to buy this blue blood exquisite pearl?" ”

Zhu Yong heard Zhu Di ask this, and hesitated for a while, but he had to answer, and finally thought twice and replied: "To buy this blue blood exquisite pearl, Weichen spent a total of 1,000 gold. ”

After everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised, a thousand gold is by no means a small amount, I don't know how many ordinary people can eat for a lifetime with this money, and after Zhu Yong finished speaking, he didn't dare to say anything else, Zhu Di has always been simple, he knows this, and now he has sent such an expensive gift, even if Zhu Di likes it again, I am afraid that he will inevitably feel bad about him.

But after Zhu Yong's words, Zhu Di didn't get angry, just smiled slightly, and said: "It's rare that Aiqing can think of me, a thousand gold is not a lot, well, buy this blue blood exquisite pearl with a thousand gold, it's worth it!" ”

After Zhu Di said this, Zhu Yong suddenly felt relaxed, as long as the emperor didn't blame, he didn't have to worry.

After a while, Zhu Di asked a eunuch to send the blue blood exquisite pearl to the treasury, and then said to everyone: "In order to see this blue blood exquisite pearl, let the ministers come at this time, presumably a large number of ministers have not yet eaten lunch, if this is the case, I will let the imperial study make some for everyone, today I am happy, the monarch and the ministers have fun." ”

As Zhu Di said, among these ministers who came, there were indeed some people who did not have lunch, and they were also happy to have fun with the emperor and his ministers, if a person wants to climb higher and have the opportunity to eat at the same time as the emperor, he cannot miss this opportunity to let the emperor see himself.

Zhu Di asked a eunuch to tell the imperial study to cook some food, and at this time, Zhu Di said to everyone: "It's late autumn now, and there is nothing to see in this water pavilion, I think it's better for everyone to go to my imperial garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums!" ”

This season, it is the time when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the imperial garden is the inner courtyard of the palace, the chrysanthemums planted are naturally different, after everyone readily agrees, they go to enjoy the chrysanthemums together, the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are many, a large area of more than half, red, white and yellow, looking from afar, it seems to have come to spring.

But when a cool breeze blows, people suddenly notice that at this time, it is already late autumn.

When some civil servants are appreciating chrysanthemums, it is inevitable that they will write a few sentences, and at this time, a civil official shook his head and said: "The flowers do not bloom and the flowers are thick, and the independent sparse hedge is interesting." I'd rather die with incense on the branches, how could I have blown into the north wind! ”

As soon as the civil official finished chanting, another civil official hurriedly said: "Zheng Sixiao of the Southern Song Dynasty is also considered a high talent, in a poem, there is no half word mentioning chrysanthemums, but after reading the whole poem, even three-year-old children know that this poem is about chrysanthemums." ”

The literati said sentence by sentence, thinking of all the poems they could think of, and then commenting on them one by one, like a debate, so lively.

And the literati talk about poetry, but those generals are a little cramped for a while, they are all rough people, where they understand the meaning of the chrysanthemum, and where they understand the elegance of those poems, but now the emperor asks them to appreciate chrysanthemums, they are not good to excuse themselves and say that they don't know how to appreciate chrysanthemums, and finally they have to follow those literati vassal elegance.

It is really a difficult thing to make a group of military generals vassal elegant, so when those literati chirp crooked poems against each other, that group of military generals will gather together and discuss loudly who is superb in martial arts, who has taken the head of the enemy general on the battlefield like a bag, and so on is like one story after another, and the lively situation is no less elegant than those literati.
