Startled Meng

Dianxi rejoices like the sea, sings triumphantly and congratulates the same day.

In front of the city tower, splendid colorful flags set up terraces and pavilions. Several colored glass beads are thrown high, and when they rise to the highest point, they burst out with golden light competing with the rising sun. In the mouth of the golden dragon, in an instant, colorful strips burst out from all over the terrace, and the sound of silk, bamboo, dance and music resounded together, playing a flourishing "Qianqiu Le".

There were cheers everywhere, the sound of cannons startled the ears, the children on the shoulders of the adults covered their ears tightly, and they were caught by the golden phoenix flying down from the tower.

The phoenix bird soars into the sky, its tail feathers shed tiny golden scales, luxurious and glamorous, the child forgot to cover his ears, stretched out his hand to twirl the small scales, raised his head, and saw the person sitting upright on the red tower, he asked crisply: "Father, how about that?" Who is the person?"

The adult followed the child's fingers and saw that the city tower was covered with colorful sheds and curtains, surrounded by a lot of guards, surrounded by a figure sitting on a golden chair in the middle, he was startled, and quickly grabbed the child's hand back: "That's our The emperor of Great Yin."

As soon as today is over, the emperor will be thirty. Looking up from a distance, the son of the real dragon wears a small hat and black gold dragon robe, and the ninety-five-year-old is tall and straight.The emperor's honorary name Rentai fully exposed his vision after ascension, to implement a benevolent government, and the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful.

Since Emperor Rentai succeeded to the throne, the border of Great Yin has been peaceful, and there have been no major disasters in the past ten years. It can be called a prosperous country and a peaceful people.

Starting from outside the gate of Jing’an City, Cailou and Bige stretched along the entire Shunyi Street until the imperial front. People with red scarves set up big flags, and actors pretended to be lions and leopards, which drew cheers.Dozens of performers danced and waved their ink sleeves, and the magnificent scenery of the Great Yin was drawn on the white scroll several feet long.

Hearing a very majestic "Yes!" from the tall building, the people in front of the building knelt down on the ground, and the servant in the house shrieked and laughed, and said: "There are many rewards!"

The emperor returned home with all his heart, and the eunuch bowed to follow, away from the courtiers and women’s kneeling behind him, the eunuch praised today’s program with a smile, it was ingenious, exquisite and beautiful, and the people were all thanks to the emperor’s blessing to get it See such a grand scene.

The emperor half smiled, and took a deep look at the eunuch, the eunuch smiled obsequiously, his back was already dripping with sweat.

The emperor said: "Beauty is beauty, it's too extravagant and wasteful."

The internal officer could only nod in agreement, grabbed the treasure stuffed by Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites in his sleeve, and went to tell Lord Shangshu when he had time, the emperor was happy, but he thought it was too extravagant.

At noon, the emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain all the officials, and the invited ministers also entered the palace one after another to wait.

Yan Cijing was being introduced into the palace by the internal officials to wait for the banquet. It was the first time he was invited to the palace for a banquet, but he did not show any inappropriate joy or anxiety. Lang, his demeanor is indeed extraordinary.

Passing by a small hall, Xing Chaoping from the Ministry of Industry was sitting in it, and he was playing with the brocade box in his hand.

Xing Chaoping celebrated the emperor's birthday and collected jade wares everywhere with great fanfare, even Yan Cijing knew about it.

Seeing his joyful face, he must have won a great treasure. Yan Cijing was curious, stopped to look at it carefully for a while, and praised: "Jade dragons are hard to find, and jasper dragons that are full of jasper and transparent are even rarer in the world."

Xing Chaoping was overjoyed when he heard the words, and called Yan Cijing to come in: "Master Yan also understands jade? How about you take a closer look?" Xing Chaoping was quite satisfied with the jade dragon, and put the brocade box into Yan Cijing's hand, asking him to Take a closer look and wait for some compliments.

Yan Ci mirror holds the brocade box and observes. The dark green jade dragon is ring-shaped, with thick fingers, long and upturned mouth, and the dragon's horns are pressed back. Excellent, especially the small hole punched in the middle of the center of gravity. If it is lifted with a rope, it can be evenly lifted, which represents excellent skills.

Yan Cijing thought that it was indeed a treasure, but he only said: "I don't know much about jade, I only know that this jade dragon must be rare."

Xing Chaoping didn't look like an expert in Yan Cijing's appearance, no matter how much he said to an outsider, he was playing the piano with a cow, and he only smiled while stroking his beard.

Yan Cijing sighed: "It is said that bole is hard to find, and good jade must be appreciated by people who really understand jade."

Xing Chaoping nodded: "If you say someone who understands jade...Wei Xiang has seen the most rare treasures and understands them the most. I will ask him to look at them for me later."

The two had a conversation, Yan Cijing got up to say goodbye, and said before going out, "Just now I met Mr. Tan on the road and said that I have something to see you. If Mr. Xing is free..."

Xing Chaoping had no time to talk, he was about to go, he hesitated after taking two steps, his words were clear: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I will guard Yulong."

Xing Chaoping hurriedly thanked him and left in a panic.Mr. Tan is the father-in-law of Xing Chaoping. Mr. Tan is famous for his love of daughters. Recently Mrs. Xing is pregnant, Mr. Tan is even more caring. What Yan Cijing said is not a lie. Mr. Tan must always want to know daughter's recent condition.

Yan Cijing watched Xing Chaoping go away, and when he turned around, there was still an internal officer in the room, tall and with his head bowed deeply, he felt Yan Cijing walking towards him, and trembled.

Yan Cijing touched the teapot and said, "The tea is too astringent when it's cold, go make it hot."

The official's head lowered: "Yes."

When the internal officer left, only Yan Cijing was left in the room. He stared at the jade dragon which was completely clear for a long time, and his eyes were also stained with the coolness of the jade dragon.

When it was time to start the banquet, the courtiers were all led to the Royal Garden by the internal officials.

Because today is the emperor's birthday, the officials who had disputes in the court on weekdays have become more friendly. Zheng Lang, alone, deliberately dodged after seeing Yan Cijing, and even Yan Cijing's greeting was just nodded, vaguely Then he went to talk to someone else.

Others noticed that Yan Cijing was in a difficult situation, and secretly wondered whether it was Yan Shilang who offended Zheng Lang as a subordinate.

Only Yan Cijing knew that Zheng Lang didn't regard himself as a member of the same camp, and guarded against him everywhere, which made him even more uneasy in the past few days.

The former colleagues in the Imperial Academy wanted to rescue Yan Cijing, but they were attracted by a large dark stain on the back of his clothes: "Master Yan, why are you sweating so much?" Blood, screamed immediately.

"Why so much blood?"

Because the color of the official robe was similar to that of blood, no one paid attention to it along the way, and the screams of the colleagues attracted the accompanying adults.

"But the injury from falling in the water at home hasn't healed yet?"

"Call the doctor!"

"No problem." Yan Cijing's face was pale, sweat rolled from his forehead, and he grabbed the hands of the people around him with difficulty, "I can just go to the Tai Hospital by myself." After finishing speaking, he thanked the adults for their kindness, and went to the Tai Hospital alone Go in the direction of the hospital.

"Master Yan is also pitiful, he was seriously injured and went to the palace for a banquet."

"The emperor's birthday, giving a banquet is a great honor! This is the first time for Mr. Yan, how can you not come if you can't say it?"

It was just a small episode, and soon, the eyes of the adults were attracted by the treasure brought by Xing Chaoping.

How could Xing Chaoping miss this opportunity to gather all officials?Of course, the treasure I got by trying everything possible should be admired and praised by everyone. With the intention of showing off, I must find the most high-profile way.

He asked the eunuch to hold a brocade box and squeeze into the center of the crowd, as if offering a treasure: "Wei Xiang, the lower official got a treasure today, can you show it?" Not forgetting to build momentum, he yelled at the eunuch, "Stupid slave!" , I ordered people to search for it from Hongshan thousands of miles away for many years before I found it, and escorted it back quickly just to celebrate the emperor's birthday! Be careful! Be careful if you drop your head!"

Hearing this, Wei Cheng also stopped chatting with other people and stared at the treasure delivered to him.

There are not a few people who flatter and fawn on officials with one person under ten thousand. The treasury of the family is filled with rare treasures. What kind of good things have you never seen?Ordinary babies can't get into his eyes at all.

Everyone saw that Wei Cheng had been attracted by the treasure, and looked into the brocade box one after another. There was light on Xing Chao's plane, and he graciously asked the eunuch to take care of it. He will open everyone's eyes today.

"A piece of jade pig handed down by the vassal king in the old days is famous all over the world, and the only one that can match it is the Hongshan Jade Dragon."

Xing Chaoping was overjoyed. Wei Cheng was an expert, so he explained the origin of the jade dragon so accurately. He hoped that Wei Cheng would say more, and he personally picked up the brocade box and sent it to Wei Cheng.

Xing Chaoping said happily: "The texture of the jade dragon is excellent, and the painting and carving are all done according to the luster of the jade to get a natural effect!"

It was also the first time for Wei Cheng to see such a treasure, so he became interested and personally took the brocade box from Xing Chaoping's hand, and looked carefully at the skylight. Unfortunately, the jade dragon was trapped in the brocade cloth and could not be seen completely, only a general shape could be seen.

Xing Chaoping hurriedly said: "Jasper is rare, it's smooth and cool, can you show it to Mrs. Wei?"

Wei Cheng held up the jade dragon, and it was indeed a big treasure as Xing Chaoping said.The head of the dragon is slightly hooked, and the body of the dragon is smooth and natural in a curved shape, especially the long hair that extends backwards from the head and the tail is pointed and upturned. Wei Cheng felt along the head of the dragon with his fingertips.

Sudden!Wei Cheng let go of his hand, and Yulong fell back into the brocade box!

Xing Chaoping didn't expect this sudden change, and saw Wei Cheng's face darken, he shook his hands, and there was a bloodstain on the body of the jade dragon!

more than!The upturned arc of the long hair on the dragon's head was already covered with blood.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change!Only Xing Chaoping reacted very quickly, knelt down holding the brocade box and pleaded guilty.

Xing Chaoping shook like a sieve: "Wei Xiang calm down! It's my negligence, I don't know that this jade dragon is so sharp, I cut off your hand, I can't absolve myself of the blame!"

He didn't dare to continue to say that this gift was originally for the emperor, if the emperor hurt the dragon's body while playing with it, he would not be able to cut off a hundred heads!

The surroundings were completely silent, and the other onlookers obviously thought of this, but no one dared to say it. If they made a sound, Xing Chaoping might be convicted. Today is the emperor's birthday, and no one dared to commit such a heinous crime. explain.

But Wei Cheng said generously: "Although this jade dragon is good, you have to be a real dragon emperor to get close, or you will end up being stung by this spiritual creature."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials agreed one after another, Xing Chaoping sweated like rain, covered the brocade box, and hurriedly called the internal officials to announce the imperial physician.

Wei Cheng was scratched by the jade dragon and was bleeding, but he didn't show the slightest panic, but the officials around him were extremely nervous.

"Call the doctor!"

"Just now I saw a eunuch standing here, why did it disappear?"
