His Majesty And Ministers

Jing Ye rode Hei Yao, followed by a group of accompanying cavalry, and walked leisurely all the way into the forest.

Black Yao shook his temples, expressing his dissatisfaction at being overqualified.

Jing Ye stretched out his hand to caress the top of its head, listened to it for a while, and asked his followers, "I seem to hear the sound of water?"

The follower bowed his head and said: "Report to Your Majesty, there is a deep pool in the northwest of this forest, not far from here, the sound of the water should be the sound of spring water pouring into the pool on the stone wall."

Jing Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Go and have a look."

The follower said: "Yes." Then he turned around and gestured backwards, and the cavalry reined in their horses one after another, and walked towards the source of the sound of water.

Jing Ye let go of the rein and let Hei Yao trot for a while, and the group walked out of the woods.

Jing Ye raised his head, and what he saw was a huge boulder with a height of a hundred people. Thousands of caves of different sizes were punched out of the stone surface. Spring water gushed out from the caves and poured into the deep pool, forming a circle circle ripples.

Under the bright sun, the clear spring is shining, the water drops are clear, and the pool is deep and emerald, which is really beautiful.

"It's really a good place." Jing Ye raised his head and said with a smile, "If anyone wants to live in seclusion, this is the best place to live."

The cavalry leader said with a smile: "This is His Majesty's hunting ground. If he lives in seclusion here, who knows that he is pretending to be a hermit and wins His Majesty's favor."

Jing Ye laughed and urged the horse to look around the pool, stopping occasionally to chat with the cavalry behind him.

The breeze blows.

The cavalry guard at the end of the crowd sniffed and asked his colleagues, "Do you smell anything?"

The colleague smiled and said, "What did you smell..." Suddenly he frowned, and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist vigilantly, "I can smell it, this smell is..."

The two looked at each other, one of them urged the horse to pass the crowd, stopped in front of Jing Ye and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong! Your Majesty, Xu Chen, please wait to escort His Majesty back to Luan!"

Jing Ye stopped the horse.

The commander next to him sniffed carefully, his expression changed slightly, he held down the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice: "It's too late, spread out to surround Your Majesty."

The cavalry did as they were told.

When the crowd slowly dispersed, the low roar of beasts could be faintly heard in the woods.

next second.Dozens of half-human-tall wild wolves leaped out of the woods like swords leaving a string, and rushed towards the humans in front of them.

Jing Ye's eyes froze.The pack of wolves was aggressive, and before the cavalry could react, they rushed over and bit the thighs of the mounts. In an instant, many horses knelt down in pain, and the cavalry also fell down.

In an instant, Xanadu became a Shura field, and the wolves, with their blood-red eyes open, pounced on the horses and cavalry, blood and blood flying.

A wild wolf drilled through the crowd to bite Hei Yao, and was kicked over violently by the black horse.Jing Ye, who was sitting on horseback, became unstable and fell down.

Hei Yao neighed and lowered his head to rub Jing Ye's forehead.

Jing Ye stretched out his hand to caress it, and with the other hand picked up the sword in the hand of the fallen cavalryman, and slashed fiercely at the pounced wild wolf. The wild wolf was hit in the left eye, roared in pain, and stared at Sen Bai. His teeth snapped again.

Jing Ye took a step back, his hands trembling.

fear.

The wild wolf opened its mouth, and the stench was unpleasant.

Jing Ye's pupils shrank sharply, and suddenly there was a sharp sound of horse hooves in his ears, and someone rushed over with his horse and sword.

The sword light passed by, and the wild wolf fell to the ground with its throat cut, and the ground was wet with blood.

The visitor killed several wild wolves around him, got off his horse, knelt down on one knee towards Jing Ye and said, "I have disturbed Your Majesty because my rescue came too late."

"..."

"Your Majesty?" Li Tingqiu raised his head before waiting for a reply.

Jing Ye stood there in a daze, and the blood on the sword in his hand slowly slid down and dripped onto the ground.

Li Tingqiu got up and said, "Is Your Majesty injured?"

Jing Ye remained silent, with a dazed look on his face.

Li Tingqiu looked at him quietly for a while, then took a step forward, lightly held Jing Ye's right hand holding the sword, and said, "Your Majesty?..."

The soldiers and guards who came to rescue him were all besieging and killing the wolves not far away, and no one saw it. The general and the emperor folded their hands.

The warm finger stayed there for a long time, Jing Ye slowly came back to his senses, withdrew his hand and said: "Thanks to Qing... for coming in time."

Li Tingqiu pursed his lips.

After the soldiers and guards killed the wild wolves, they helped up their wounded colleagues and waited for the king's order.

Jing Ye said: "Divide into a group of people to send the wounded to the medical camp, and the rest will follow me out of the forest."

"Yes!"

Jing Ye got on his horse, followed by Li Tingqiu, and the cavalry guards followed in two teams.

All the way silent.

When he was about to leave the forest, Jing Ye stopped his horse and said, "Lin Qing." He turned his head, "Is there something wrong with my clothes?"

Li Tingqiu looked at him and said, "No."

"Do you have a look of embarrassment on your face?"

"No."

Jing Ye looked back at him, smiled for a while, turned around and urged: "Let's go, go back to the camp."

When Jing Ye returned to the imperial tent, Ye Mao greeted him and said, "Your Majesty came back so early?"

"I met something, which ruined the fun of the game." Jing Ye lowered his head and accepted.

Lu Baizang was leaning against the head of the bed, casually flipping through a biography, stroking Lu Huihui's fluff with one hand, and raised his head to look at him upon hearing the sound.

Jing Ye smiled at him.

Lu Baizang frowned, threw away Lu Xiaozhu and came over to touch Jing Ye's cheek, a thin layer of cold sweat.

Lu Baizang said, "What did you meet? Are you scared?"

"Am I someone who can be scared casually?" Jing Ye laughed. "It's a rare sunny day, and I'm sweating a little."

Lu Baizang looked at him with a frown.

Jing Ye said, "I'm hungry."

Lu Baizang held his shoulders and leaned over to touch his forehead: "The forehead is cold too."

Jing Ye thought for a while and said, "I want to eat honey yam with ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup."

Lu Baizang said: "There are no fresh bamboo shoots in this season, I'll make mutton soup for you to warm up."

Jing Ye nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Baizang said: "I won't go to Zhengzhou tonight, I will stay with you overnight."

Now it was Jing Ye's turn to frown: "You promised me this."

The two looked at each other for a while, then Lu Baizang said with relief, "Forget it, Liuer Keer in the building is looking forward to my coming, so what if I don't go?"

Jing Ye kicked him, and while laughing, retracted his slightly trembling left hand into his sleeve.

As night fell, the palace people spread out long blankets on the grass, set up wine tables and bamboo mats, and brought all kinds of fruits and wine to prepare everything for the upcoming feast.

The sunset was gradually sinking into the night, and when the time came, the princes and nobles brought their well-dressed female relatives and nephews who participated in the hunting on the hunting ground in the morning into the long blanket, and sat down after greeting each other.

Jing Ye was dressed in a black crown dress, with brocade dragons embroidered on the front, the sun and the moon embroidered on the shoulders, the cuffs were edged in stone blue, and the dragon pattern was billowing on the top.

The eunuch outside the banquet flicked his whisk and said loudly: "Your Majesty is here—"

Everyone stood up, the officials' children bent over and cupped their hands, the female family members bent their knees in full clothes, and said in unison: "See Your Majesty."

Jing Ye quickly walked up to the first seat, raised one hand as a support, and said, "Stay flat."

Everyone returned to their seats according to their words.

According to etiquette, the first glass of wine at a banquet must be drunk by the emperor.Jing Ye picked up the wine in front of the table, while Lin Xiaosheng turned his head slightly and said, "This wine is very strong, you don't need to drink too much, just taste it."

Jing Ye nodded, took a sip, the liquor burned down his throat, and his brain became dizzy for a while.

He dared not drink any more.Just as he was about to put down the wine, a person stood up from the banquet and said, "Your Majesty, please drink this cup to the full."

Lin Xiaosheng frowned, Jing Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "Why?"

The other party said loudly: "Sheji wine is extraordinary wine, a king must drink it all!"

Jing Ye almost didn't drop the cup, nonsense you, when my cheap dad didn't even bother to come to Qiu Lie, isn't he an emperor?

He glanced at Zhao Mingde's family sitting on the left, and then glanced at the officials at the banquet.

Everyone knew that Mr. Zhao wanted to make the emperor look bad, so no one dared to stand up and refute.Prime Minister Qin, who was the only one who could refute it, never came to watch the hunting because of his old age.

There is only one choice now, and that is to drink the whole glass of wine obediently.

Can only endure.

Jing Ye picked up the wine glass expressionlessly, the rim of the glass touched his lips, and the acrid smell of wine came to his nostrils.

"Master Sun's words are wrong." A familiar voice sounded, and the person standing in the corner was dressed in a dark official uniform, his posture was straight and his eyebrows were like jade, and his expression was so serious that Jing Ye had never seen before, "The peace of the country lies in Mingjun Xianchen, Qingming politics, why a glass of wine is worth it? Besides, your majesty is not a general, if strong wine damages the dragon's body..."

"I absolutely dare not have such intentions!" Sun Qi interrupted Feng Ling's words loudly, and said, "Your Majesty's body is a real dragon, how can a mere glass of wine hurt it? Please, Your Majesty, please drink this cup for my sake!"

Feng Ling clenched her fists, and was about to refute it, but Jing Ye said with a light smile: "That's all. Feng Qing is all for me, and I know in my heart that Master Sun's words are not unreasonable." He raised the wine cup, " I will drink this cup in front of the officials, and may my country be peaceful and free from disasters forever."

There was silence during the banquet, and everyone watched the little emperor standing in front of the wine table with a peaceful expression, raising his head and drinking all the wine in the wine cup without leaving a single drop.

The cup fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Jing Ye felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and his internal organs were on fire, and he staggered back and was about to fall to sit down, but fortunately, he was supported by his waist with both hands.

Lin Xiaosheng whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty."

Jing Ye opened his eyes and tried his best to make his vision clear, then he straightened up and said, "Misters...let's start the banquet."

All the ministers said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." But no one moved their chopsticks.

Zhao Deming smiled, took the lead to pick up vegetables for Mrs. Xu beside him, and said: "Madam, try it, how is the cook in this palace compared to the cook in the mansion?"

Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "My lord was joking, our cook is no match for His Majesty's royal cook."

Everyone watched Zhao Mingde's family taste the food, and they each started their own hands.Gradually it became noisy.

Jing Ye sat motionless, Lin Xiaosheng called the maid to pour tea, leaned over to hold his hand and said, "Your Majesty?"

Jing Ye came back to look at him.

Lin Xiaosheng said: "Your Majesty is tired, go back to the camp and rest."

Jing Ye smiled and shook his head, tried his best to restrain his discomfort, and said softly: "If you lose, you don't lose, and Kuang Zhen hasn't lost yet."
