Chapter 21 You are like a person
In the law of Anguo, the people who have no official position and are summoned must receive three baths and one update.
The so-called three baths and one update are three baths and one dressing. To put it bluntly, this is because of the fear of the strange smell on the common people and the unclean things that make the emperor unhappy.
So as soon as Luo Li stepped into the palace, she was taken to the bathing and changing room by the eunuch.
I don’t know if it was Qiu En, the old villain, who had given me some advice. Anyway, the eunuch who was serving Luo Li bathing was going to rub his back with a big iron brush in his hand.
This situation did not scare Luo Li on the spot. After repeated requests, the other party forced a soft brush to brush Luo Li's body.
After three scrubbings, the eunuch who was serving the bath almost brushed off Luo Li's skin. When he put on his new clothes and walked out of the room, his whole body was soft and hot, and his weight felt much lighter.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Li was taken to a palace called "Wenchang Hall", which was the study of Emperor Anguo, where he discussed political affairs and reviewed memorials, and the palace where he usually attended court was in another place.
The little eunuch asked Luo Li to wait at the door for the time being, then lowered his head and walked into the hall, whispering to Qiu En's ear.
After a few breaths, Qiu En's sharp voice sounded: "See you at Xuan Luoli!"
The little eunuch next to him quickly reminded Luo Li, and then he stepped into Wenchang Hall.
Just as I was thinking about the etiquette taught by the eunuch before and was about to salute the emperor, I suddenly heard the fat man standing beside him say relaxedly: "Hi! Lao Luo, it's like I'm going home here, don't mess with those who have nothing."
The loud voice in his ears made Luo Li tremble all over. He thought to himself: Damn! Is this fat man trying to die for Uncle Luo? Treat Anguo Palace home? Does Uncle Luo have the courage?
Awkward!
Super embarrassing!
However, Luo Li was also a prince, and suddenly she returned to her expression of unchanging expression and was about to kneel down.
Suddenly! A thick voice came: "Well! Fatty is right. Boy, don't mess with those who are not. You don't have to kneel down when you see me!"
As soon as I heard this voice, I knew it was His Majesty the Emperor of Anguo. No one here dared to say such words except him.
But this is a bit unreliable! How could anyone call themselves "I" instead of calling themselves "I"?
Is it really a family? If you don’t enter the family, the fat man is nonsense, and the father is even more damn!
Then Luo Li looked up and saw the Smiling Emperor Anguo behind a desk decorated with yellow cloth.
Fat man!
A big fat man!
Looking at the emperor's appearance, it was exactly the same as a fat man, and I felt like I could tell whether I was a biological child at first glance.
"Thank you Your Majesty!" After receiving the promise of not kneeling, Luo Li took the opportunity to step down and bowed his hand and clasped his fists.
"I heard from the fat man that you are pretty good! You defeated Shu Guo and Sun Li in just two tricks. Boy, I'm optimistic about you!" Emperor Anguo boasted about Luo Li with a smile. Judging from the look flashing in his eyes, he was very satisfied with Luo Li.
But Luo Li was so awkward that she felt a heroic feeling of joining a gang in the world and being praised by the leader.
"Your Majesty praised it. Caomin thought of some clumsy strategies after the Crown Prince's advice. Later, after the unremitting efforts of His Highness, General Yue Wu and the soldiers, he was able to implement this strategy and finally resolve the crisis in Qingnan County!" Luo Li answered Emperor Anguo in a humble tone.
From his words, it is not difficult to see that his posture is very low. He first mentioned the fat man, then mentioned Yue Wu and the soldiers of the border town, as if he had no contribution.
But Emperor Anguo is not a blind man, and the reliance on Luo Li this time is all due to the remission of this crisis.
And he lowered his attitude just to be modest.
Think about it, if you have made great contributions and show off in front of the emperor who is ready to reward yourself, wouldn’t that be a damn death?
So first revealing the fat man’s credit is called sensibility, or politics. I don’t even know this at all. This undercover Luo Li is over!
"Haha! Boy, you're so modest, not bad! The fat man made some contributions this time, but it's not as heavy as you said! I will definitely give you what you deserve!" Emperor Anguo laughed loudly, and his fat body was trembling.
Then, he changed his tone, narrowed his eyes and said, "Boy, do you think you are like a human being?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Li's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself: Could it be that Emperor Anguo discovered my identity? No! This is impossible! No! I can't panic! I want to get rid of it if I panic!
Immediately afterwards, Luo Li calmed down and said:
"Back to Your Majesty, Caomin is not like an individual!"
"The grass-roots are the individual!"
Suddenly, the fat man laughed loudly in the hall. He almost rolled on the ground with joy. Even Emperor Anguo, who was directly opposite, laughed. He really didn't expect Luo Li to answer like this.
The sentence just now was not a test, nor was it aimless. Emperor Anguo really felt that Luo Li was familiar with him, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he thought that this was impossible, so he asked this question.
When the laughter subsided, Emperor Anguo stood up, held something tightly in his hand, and slowly walked towards Luo Li!
"Boy, do you recognize this letter?" Emperor Anguo stood in front of Luo Li like a mountain of meat, stretched out his right hand and handed over the things he held tightly.
After a closer look, Luo Li should not recognize him too much. This was the key to his successful entry into Qingnan County, a letter of recommendation from Mr. Wang Chenen.
Nodding slightly, Luo Li was a little embarrassed to see Emperor Anguo's thoughts, so he didn't speak, and glanced at the other party with his eyes empty.
"It is believed that what the above said is that you are the grandson of Mr. Wang's nephew, right?" Emperor Anguo continued to ask with a smile.
"Go back to Your Majesty, that's right! The relatives and Mr. Wang in the family were cousins from afar. When the generation of Caomin, the family had fallen into decline. Later, Mr. Wang knew about it, so he generously wrote this letter of recommendation to the Caomin. Therefore, the Caomin can only make a living in Qingnan County." Luo Li's words are profound.
First, I informed Emperor Anguo that the letter was given by Mr. Wang, not by Luo Li, which shows that the relationship between Luo Li and the Wang family is acceptable. If it is requested, it proves that the Wang family wants to repay favors with letters and will no longer contact us from now on.
Secondly, he also blurred his background and used the family to show that he was born in a poor family and was not from a certain aristocratic family or force.
Finally, Luo Li used the word "life" to show that he was poor and could work hard for him by giving him food. This implies that as long as the royal family gave him money, he would work hard for him.
"Not bad! Not bad! Unfortunately, I asked the people of the Wang family, and they said they didn't know about this. Even Mr. Wang said he had never written this letter! Let's start your explanation!" Emperor Anguo said with a smile.
At this moment, Luo Li was shocked, his whole body trembled violently, and he almost collapsed into the ground. He forgot that Emperor Anguo wanted to prove this matter was extremely simple.
At the beginning, his father prepared this letter of recommendation for him, just to invade Luoli into Qingnan County, because the magistrate Lang County of Qingnan County did not have that great ability to verify!
But Luo Li's span was too fast, so he met the fat man so desperately that he made great contributions. This entered the eyes of senior officials. How could Luo Li, a person with a vague identity, not be investigated? And every time he checked, he was sure!
Sweat beads began to slowly flow out, and a cool air in the vest rushed straight from the spine to the forehead. Luo Li's legs were already weak. He knew that the next answer was extremely important. If the answer was wrong, he would be beheaded immediately.
After thinking for a few breaths, Luo Li took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, Cao Min thinks there must be a misunderstanding in this. This letter was definitely written by Mr. Wang and sent someone to Cao Min!"
Luo Li was only stubborn at the moment. He was betting whether Emperor Anguo had really asked the people of the Wang family or to cheat him.
Unfortunately, Luo Li was disappointed. Emperor Anguo did not immediately refute or speak. He stared at Luo Li quietly, his slightly narrowed eyes as if there was a strange majesty, which made Luo Li feel extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help but tremble with his legs.
After a long time, Emperor Anguo finally showed a sneer, and then he spoke, "I really asked, tell me, who sent you to get close to the fat man?"
I was confused! Luo Li was completely confused! Emperor Anguo was so amazing that he could see what Luo Li was thinking!
"No! Father, this is not true. How could Lao Luo be an undercover agent? Did you make a mistake?" The fat man was also stunned. Then he walked over in two steps and said anxiously in front of Emperor Anguo.
"Get out!" Emperor Anguo ignored him at all, kicked the fat man out, and continued to stare at Luo Li with great pressure.
Just as the atmosphere was frozen, I suddenly heard the eunuch's voice coming from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Chenen is asking for a meeting!"
"Ha! Mr. Wang is here, it's good to meet you!" Emperor Anguo sneered, as if he was looking forward to the next scene.
"It's over!" Luo Li's eyes turned black, and his trembling legs took a small step back, thinking about the bloody scene of beheading.
what to do?
What should Mr. Luo do?
