Chapter 1729 The Emperor's Obsession
After the rustling autumn rain, the climate is getting cooler, the flowers and trees in the palace are withered, and the dead leaves are scattered and falling in all directions with the breeze.
Yellow leaves, red walls, black tiles, the majestic and majestic atmosphere of the past has gradually faded, and a bit of poignant and graceful poetry has been added...
Inside the Dragon Palace.
His Majesty Li Er wore a red-yellow gown with narrow sleeves and a round neck, black yarn with two wings and a plain head, a nine-ring belt around his waist, and a pair of Liuhe boots at his feet.
Fang Jun entered, stepped forward to salute, and said in a loud voice: "My minister Fang Jun, I have an audience with Your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyes, waved his hands casually, and said indifferently: "There is no need to be too polite, just sit down and wait for the palace servants to serve tea."
"Here."
Fang Jun agreed, took two steps forward, and sat down in front of the emperor, lowering his eyebrows and eyes, without saying a word.
His Majesty Li Er is in his early forties this year. It is the age when a man's physical strength, intelligence, and experience have reached the peak. He just sits there in an ordinary way, and he has a majestic demeanor like Yuan Zhiyue, with a square face and thick eyebrows. , eyes like electricity, full of imperial majesty.
The two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, but they didn't see each other, and neither spoke.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant for a while...
It was not until the maid brought the steaming tea to the table that His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "Everyone, step back."
"Well—"
The maid who served the tea and the interior of the store all responded, bowed and took three steps back, then turned and walked out the door.
His Majesty Li Er ignored Fang Jun, poured a cup of tea on his own, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if savoring the taste of the tea. After a long while, he slowly said: "That poem ,very nice."
Fang Jun had already drank a full stomach of water in the yamen of the Ministry of War, and he was not thirsty at the moment. Hearing this, he bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's ridiculous praise, I am ashamed of myself."
"Heh..." His Majesty Li Er sneered, looked at Fang Jun playfully, and said, "There are other things that your Fang Er dare not do?"
Fang Jun ignored the emperor's ridicule, and said solemnly: "Poems express ambitions, songs express eternal feelings, if there is no emotion that touches people's hearts, how can we spread and sing the poems of the world? Wei Chen thought about the deep love between His Majesty and Empress Wende, Although I have never seen the happy match between the two in the past, I can also know the deep and pure love from other people. The sky is jealous of beauty, Empress Wende is driving the crane to the west, Your Majesty will never lose her love, and the sadness in my heart will never die Sleepless nights, heart-wrenching pains, my humble minister felt the same, and this inspired me to compose the next song "Remembering Dreams" to comfort His Majesty's pain of lovesickness, and to feed the spirit of Empress Wende in heaven..."
Speaking of it, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun have a deep and affectionate relationship that is rare in history, and the gift of this poem to him can be considered as a perfect complement to each other.
It was only after 400 years of suffering that Brother Dongpo could speak out. He has "stolen" many of his famous works, all of which are masterpieces passed down through the ages.
But it’s okay to think about it, Su Dongpo is a truly stunning and talented person, even if he can’t write poems, the stew must be able to make a name that will go down in history...
His Majesty Li Er was silent.
He didn't laugh at Fang Jun's flattering words, nor reprimanded him for going further and further down the road of courtiers, but he just held his teacup and was slightly absent-minded.
Fang Jun shut his mouth, feeling a little suspicious in his heart, this His Majesty is too abnormal today, I don't know what he is thinking at the moment...
If you say too much, you'd better shut up.
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er asked quietly: "Fang Jun, is the fairy you said in ancient legends true or false?"
Fang Jun sighed, as expected...
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since it is a legend, it must have been spread for a long time, and it must have been seriously inaccurate during the period. The longer the legend, the greater the distance from the truth. This is common sense. In my opinion, the gods and ghosts It’s just that the ancestors imagined it out of thin air, and then it’s all right to make fun of it through later generations, and it must not be taken seriously.”
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun, and said casually: "The "Shan Hai Jing" says that there are five mountains on the sea: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, Penglai, Daiyu and Yuanqiao drifted away without a trace. Only the three mountains of Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai are left... Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty also said that Penglai Mountain is facing the northeast coast of the East China Sea, and it is five thousand miles away. Also. There is no wind, but the waves are hundreds of feet high, so it is impossible to come and go. There are nine old fathers-in-law, nine heavens and real palaces, and the residence of Taishang real people. Only flying immortals can go there... so many ancient books have recorded overseas Immortal mountains, there are immortals in fairy mountains, so could it be that they are all fabricated out of thin air and predicated on it?"
Fang Jun, one head and two big, was so annoyed that he wanted to hit the wall...
It's like asking a college student to explain addition and subtraction within ten to elementary school students. There is no sense of accomplishment at all, only impatience.
If you say that there is really a fairy mountain, it is really hard to confirm this point. What if the fairy mountain is a door that breaks through time and space, and there is another parallel world behind the door?
But when it comes to whether there are so many fairy mountains on the Bohai Sea, in this era, there is really no one who is more determined than Fang Jun...
There is a hair!
After thinking about it, I feel that His Majesty Li Er has a strong personality and is very assertive. If he simply and rudely told him that he didn't, he probably wouldn't believe it. He was thinking about such gods and ghosts all day long, and something would happen...
Then he said: "Your Majesty knows whether there is or is not, it is not up to the minister, nor is it up to the Majesty. The Bohai Sea is so big, with a radius of only more than 4000 miles. Our navy has hundreds of ships, which are divided into several groups. , from south to north and from east to west, how many islands and how many mountains are there in the sea, isn't that clear?"
This is definitely a stupid way.
No matter how small the Bohai Sea is, with the current navigation technology and ship quality, it will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but also take several years to go through it.
But although the method is stupid, it is better than the emperor's cranky thinking all day long, right?
If one day this guy gets mad and does something stupid, it will really be a headache...
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his eyes lit up immediately!
He almost jumped up and hugged Fang Jun and kissed him!This kid is really quick and amazingly talented. Countless alchemists in this world spend their days trying to find evidence of the existence of the fairy mountain from those ancient books, but no one has ever thought of us going directly to the Bohai Sea...
But immediately, he had another melancholy thought: "But Qin Shihuang sent the alchemist Xu Fu out of the Bohai Sea by boat, but he never returned, and there was no news. I was wondering if this fairy mountain was only seen by a predestined person. If there is no wisdom eye of immortal roots, even though the immortal mountain is right in front of you, you still turn a blind eye and pass by?"
Fang Jun was dumbfounded.
I won't accept anyone, but you!
As expected of a man who can become an emperor, who in the world can match this leap of thinking and openness of mind?
You said you don’t know if there are any fairy mountains on the sea, and we sent people to look for them, but you said that those mortals don’t have the eyes of fairy roots, so it’s possible that the fairy mountains are there but they can’t see them...
Fang Jun was silent for a moment, and asked: "Your Majesty's idea... is it serious?"
His Majesty Li Er was puzzled: "Naturally, it is true. Mortal mortals cannot see the land of immortals with the naked eye. That is what it should be. What do you mean by that?"
Fang Jun asked back: "Your Majesty is right, so it is best to send such a person to go with the fleet. Then, Your Majesty, who has immortal roots and who has insight? Do you think this humble minister will succeed? "
"you?"
His Majesty Li Er looked Fang Jun up and down, sneered and said, "Forget it! Do you think you can write a few poems and study some strange skills, and then you can be called the wisdom eye of the fairy root? In my opinion, This kind of person should at least be favored by the heavens, have great luck, and many difficult things in the world will never exist in front of him, and he can turn bad luck into good luck, and make good luck when he dies!"
"well said!"
Fang Jun clapped his hands and said, "Now there is one person who fits your Majesty's description!"
His Majesty Li Er wondered, "Who?"
Fang Jun pointed to His Majesty Li Er's nose, and said: "This kind of person with great luck is naturally your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er was stunned, pointed at himself and said, "Me?"
Fang Jun said with determination: "Your Majesty rose up at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the world was full of wars and heroes. In terms of bloodline, strength, and current situation, it is impossible for Li Tang to turn in this world, right?"
His Majesty Li Er nodded subconsciously. This cannot be denied. No matter how conceited he is, he cannot open his eyes and tell nonsense. Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, Wang Shichong, and even Yuwen Chengdu and Xiao Xian were all more likely than Li Tang at the beginning. The tripod decides the country.
In the end, Li Tang clarified that Huanyu unified the universe, and if anyone said that there was no help from luck, His Majesty Li Er would be the first to spit on that person...
