Saving The Prince Regent - Chapter 109
Chao Xi looked confused, “What conspiracy?”
King Jing Zhong glanced at her, and sighed, “Have you ever heard of “referring to a deer as a horse”?”
? ? ?
“What kind of deer or horse?” Chao Xi didn’t hear clearly.
In fact, I don’t understand even if I hear it clearly.
“A very famous story, in the book…” He paused, and suddenly remembered that Chao Xi hadn’t read much, and it was only natural that he didn’t understand.
“It is said that a long, long time ago, a prime minister who was in charge of the government gave a deer to the puppet emperor at that time. He pointed to the deer and said that this was a horse. The emperor was puzzled. He asked, this is obviously a deer, why should he say it is a horse? Then asked the minister, is this a deer or a horse?”
“The ministers were horrified by the authority of the prime minister, afraid to tell the truth, they opened their eyes and told nonsense. The way is a horse. Only a few ministers who were loyal to the first emperor told the truth. The way was a deer, and the prime minister remembered these people. Find a chance to get rid of it.” King Jing Zhong asked her, “understand now?”
Chao Xi nodded, “Shen Fei also uses this method?”
No wonder he was going to talk nonsense with his eyes open. He wanted to see how many people took refuge in the Queen Mother while he was away, so that he could write it down and get rid of it later.
The queen mother is a daughter’s home and cannot be regent. Her excuses for taking power are for her son, so if the son is wronged, her people must help.
There were only ten shrimps. The little emperor was obviously right, but someone was wrong. There were eleven shrimps. The little emperor could not justify, and he was naturally aggrieved.
The empress dowager had been awkward with the little emperor. If no one of her came forward to protect her life this time, the little emperor would be even more depressed, and the relationship might become stronger and irreparable in the future.
So regardless of whether they knew about the “deer as a horse”, they still wanted to stand up, and at first they hesitated. After sending the news, they got the affirmative answer from the Queen Mother, and they had no choice but to speak out for the emperor.
“Maybe the painter made a mistake. With so many of us, it’s impossible to even understand the painting.”
“That’s right, unless he is the Immortal Daluo, he can hide the shrimp.”
“I think it’s a mystery to make this painting more valuable.”
Someone took the lead, and those who didn’t dare to speak just now expressed their thoughts one by one, and even deliberately induced others to comment on this painting.
Shen Fei’s expression remained unchanged, only looking at the little emperor, “The emperor, do you think so too?”
The little emperor looked at the painting, looked at the emperor, then looked at the painting, and looked at the emperor. After going back and forth several times, he whispered, “Uncle emperor, is that shrimp here?”
He pointed to the title of “Eleven Shrimp”, “Eleven Shrimp”. Without the word’ten’, isn’t it a shrimp?
With the other ten shrimps, exactly eleven.
Shen Fei laughed, “The emperor is wise.”
This ‘shrimp’ is actually hidden in the painting, Yuan ?藋謘笘驉@涣窝豢伤家椤br/>
The other ministers were also stunned. You look at me, I look at you, looking at each other, before reacting after a while, some wondering, what does King Ning mean?
Just come back, test the emperor? Or is it as they thought, borrowing “to refer to the deer as the horse” to play? To find the queen mother?
I came up with the eleventh shrimp because I wanted to achieve my goal, but didn’t want to tear my face with the little emperor?
King Ning is not a good man, but also proficient in tactics, although it seems to be just a small act, which can’t tolerate other people’s thinking.
Maybe it is really over-concerned, maybe King Ning has hidden deeper meanings, after all, it is good, it is impossible to do so many things for no reason, but the purpose is very simple, just to offer paintings, and test the emperor and them by the way?
There must be other thoughts, but they didn’t understand it.
King Jingzhong frowned, “Blue is better than blue. This kid’s thoughts, the old man, can’t figure it out.”
If he couldn’t figure it out, Chao Xi couldn’t figure it out even more.
In terms of life and eating and drinking, Chao Xi really knows him, but in other aspects, especially those twists and turns, he doesn’t know anything about it.
The feeling of being unable to guess and see through is so uncomfortable, what does Shen Fei think?
Isn’t it “referring to a deer as a horse” as King Jingzhong said?
Then he did a very public dedication, so he could offer it to the emperor alone when no one was there?
To say that it is, adding “one shrimp” to the painting is indeed eleven shrimps, and it was guessed by the little emperor, which could not achieve the goal of Liwei.
Why did the prime minister refer to the deer as a horse? It is to tell the emperor that you are a puppet emperor and that no one will help you. It is also to tell the ministers that the royal court is my man, and I will not end up with the emperor. The third is to eradicate the old ministers left by the previous emperor to the puppet emperor.
Shen Fei was equal to abandoning the first two, only the latter goal was achieved, and the effect was not a bit weaker than that of the prime minister.
Chao Xi has seen this fool. Would Shen Fei not know?
Since he knew, why did he do this?
Don’t understand, don’t understand.
Chao Xi was stunned, thinking about it all the time. The left couldn’t figure it out, the right couldn’t figure it out, but she spent a lot of time, unknowingly, the whole morning passed away.
The afternoon is a martial arts competition. Regardless of civilian or military attachés, you can show your hand as long as you are willing to go up. Some are for blockbuster performance, some are purely for rewards, and even those who simply encounter opponents and want to fight.
For example, Chao Xi, a person who doesn’t like to fight very often, likes to join in the fun. When he sees such a group activity, he can’t stand it. Several times he wants to try it, but he is stopped by others.
She could not be ranked, and King Jing Zhong did not want her to play. Shen Fei kept winking at her, but Chao Xi didn’t see it.
How? Can’t join in the fun?
Obviously everyone else can.
After the end of the game, the victorious shouted, “Is there anyone? Come up and make gestures with Liu!”
Just as Chao Xi was about to respond, she was suddenly covered by someone and dragged into the crowd.
The venue for the martial arts competition is outside, sitting with noble status, guards like them can only stand, and further away are **** ladies.
The little emperor amnesty, let everyone come over to watch, crowded, Chao Xi’s position is behind King Jingzhong, further away is the guards who circled a circle, don’t worry about being attacked, because there are guards, but Shen Fei identity Noble, the guard let him in without making a sound and dragged Chao Xi aside.
Chao Xi glared at him, “What are you doing? That person is a master with swords, I want to learn two tricks from him.”
“Are you hungry?” Shen Fei avoided those and changed the subject.
Chao Xi: “…hungry.”
King Jing Zhong watched the martial arts competition on stage, and clapped his hands when it was exciting, yelled well, turned around and disappeared from Chao Xi, looking around, he found this person standing behind Shen Fei.
His previously unsmiling, always so mature and respectful apprentice took a snack to Chao Xi while no one noticed.
Everyone’s attention is on the stage, and few people are looking down the stage, so naturally no one notices their little movements.
Chao Xi also took the opportunity of rubbing her nose and ate a lot of snacks, but the snacks were no longer satisfying her.
I clicked on Shen Fei’s back and asked him to take the fruit. This day, the fruit is very cherished. It has to be transported from a place like spring all year round. I don’t know what means to save it. It’s just ripe here, especially the small oranges. Look The size is not big, the juice is full, the taste is good, and it is very sweet and honey.
Chao Xi ate the orange, stuffed the skin into Shen Fei’s sleeve, and tapped his back so that he could bring the roast leg of lamb.
The leg of lamb was breaded with greased paper, so his hands would not be soiled. It was a bit big and not easy to eat, but when he looked at it, he could not resist its temptation.
Shen Fei had chosen a good position. It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time. He picked a place on the back of the pillar. That is to say, Chao Xi could not be seen from the back, and both sides were blocked by guards. Just guard the front.
Shen Fei’s hand pointed down, motioning her to be short and hide behind her to eat.
Chao Xi was tired, so she pulled away Shen Fei’s clothes, sat on Shen Fei’s clothes, and gnawed the leg of lamb cross-legged.
After nibbling the leg of lamb and eating beef, and then various side dishes, she knew the arrangement of the side dishes on Shen Fei’s table, which one she wanted to eat, took Shen Fei’s hand, and ordered them in the palm of his hand, according to the arrangement of the side dishes.
There are three or four dishes in the upper row, the middle dot, and three or four dishes. The first one clicks the thumb, and the second one clicks the two thumbs. With such a tacit understanding, Shen Fei’s table was swept away in no time.
I didn’t see this person moving the chopsticks, but the dishes disappeared in a flash of thunder, and was ridiculed by someone who said, “How does the food in the imperial dining room fit the Prince’s taste?”
Shen Fei didn’t explain. By default, he only went to the frontier, and then looked at the food in these hometowns. He couldn’t help but miss and ate more.
The movement here was noticed by the little emperor, and he quickly served a few more dishes for the emperor to have a good time.
In fact, they all entered Chao Xi’s stomach.
When Chao Xi came in the morning, just listen to everyone’s rumors, and didn’t eat lunch. Don’t want to be hungry. Of course, those few decorations like food won’t satisfy her.
A small plate was pitiful, and it didn’t seem to make people full. Fortunately, the little emperor took the road, and the amount of dishes on the back was still that small, but there were a few more varieties, and all of them were eaten by Chao Xi.
After Chaoxi had eaten it, she was already a little bit picky. Don’t want the skinned ones, the burnt ones, and the crooked melons and dates.
There was too much food, and I couldn’t help but want to drink tea. I saw the teacup on Shen Fei’s table, no matter what it was, I secretly took it over for a few drinks, quenched my thirst and put it back.
Her oily handprints were left on the tea cup, and the place where she drank was also stained with oil.
Shen Fei shook his head and handed her a handkerchief, “wipe.”
Chao Xi did not refuse, first wiped her mouth, then wiped her hands, and then returned it to Shen Fei. She patted her belly and leaned on his back contentedly, squinting for a while.
This squint, I don’t know when it was squinted, and when I woke up, the sky was a little dark, and a little bit of cold particles was smashed on my face. It seemed that it was raining?
The rain was so good that the celebration banquet ended early. The little emperor was weak and had entered the temple to take shelter from the rain. Others also left one after another. Shen Fei was about to call her, but she woke up by herself.
“Go back.” Shen Fei helped her from behind, “If you are still sleepy, go back to sleep.”
Chao Xi yawned, nodded um, huh, she just woke up, she was not aware of anything yet, and was almost pulled to her feet by him. He didn’t avoid suspicion all the way, and took him out of the palace.
In the middle of the road, the stomach suddenly became violent, and Chao Xi hurriedly stopped the carriage and hurried to the cottage.
Shen Fei followed behind her, worried, and kept guarding outside the door.
Chao Xi stayed in it for a long time, until he thought something had happened, the man finally screamed and called him, “Shen Fei! I am coming in Kuishui!”
