Chapter 1508 Excessive grace

By the time Emperor Liu finished running with Zhao Pu, it was two quarters of an hour, and the sky was already bright.So, Emperor Liu, who was full of interest, called Zhao Pu again, and the two monarchs and ministers went to take a bath together, met each other naked, and enjoyed the personal massage service of the maids.

It is not uncommon for Emperor Liu to give his ministers a bath, but it is rare to have a bath with him.This kind of treatment, among the foreign ministers, can enjoy it, no more than five fingers.In the past, probably only Wang Quanbin, Chai Rong, and Yang Ye had experienced it, and all of them have made great contributions to Fang Jian or have a close and trustworthy relationship.

Perhaps in the eyes of Emperor Liu, this was just a matter of whim, and he went with the flow, but Zhao Pu was moved in his heart, and this kind of favor spread, in the eyes of others, it may be that Emperor Liu conveyed such a meaning to the officials: He still trusts Zhao Pu, still supports him, and his favor and trust never fade.

And this support is also very precious to the current Zhao Pu.

By the time the two of them walked out of the bath and put on new, dry clothes, it was nearly time.

"Have you ever been happy?" Emperor Liu asked Zhao Pu with a smile.

Zhao Pu quickly responded, "Your Majesty has treated me so generously, I am really grateful."

"You have worked hard for the country, and I have rarely rewarded you. A mere bath is not enough. It is enough to relieve Qing's fatigue a little bit!" Emperor Liu said.

Seeing that Gong'e was helping Zhao Pu put on the court dress, Emperor Liu frowned, and immediately turned to Yan Tuo and said: "Go and fetch that splendid robe!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the brocade gown from Emperor Liu's mouth was taken. As the name suggests, it was made of silk brocade, with red and purple base, gorgeous and exquisite, but the most special thing was the lifelike dragon pattern on it.

"Put it on for Zhao Qing!" Emperor Liu pointed.

His eyes fell on the robe, and after listening to these words, even with Zhao Pu's mental quality, he was not shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I really can't afford such a generous gift!"

"It's okay, it's just a robe!" Emperor Liu chuckled lightly.

Zhao Pu refused again and again, but Emperor Liu refused. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Gong'e to put on this new robe for him with excitement and anxiety.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. It's not that Zhao Pu didn't wear fancy clothes, but this new outfit looks energetic and special. This is an honor bestowed by Emperor Liu.

Qiu Yang, who was not enthusiastic, had already made his way. Zhao Pu entered the palace early, originally planning to go to the Guangzheng Hall to handle some affairs. Obviously, at this time, Emperor Liu also delayed him.

But a mistake is a mistake. Seeing that Emperor Liu did not let him go, he simply stayed and talked with Emperor Liu.His loose hair still looked moist, and the smell of breakfast permeated the air in Chongzheng Hall. Emperor Liu touched his belly with a carefree expression: "This morning exercise is still hard, and I feel hungry. Zhao Qing, Let's go, let's have breakfast with me!"

"Yes!" Zhao Pu had no reason to refuse.

Emperor Liu's breakfast was still very rich, five-flavored porridge, steamed cakes, soup dumplings plus a fried lung, which was obviously much more luxurious than the porridge and side dishes that had been kept for several years.

"The soup dumpling in Tokyo still tastes different, Zhao Qing will try it too!" Emperor Liu said to Zhao Pu, looking very happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Compared with Emperor Liu's wantonness, Zhao Pu seemed very restrained and always maintained a polite demeanor.Gently picked up a piece of soup dumpling, chewed it slowly, and said, "It's really delicious. Compared with Xijing, the food in Tokyo is really different!"

Although to Zhao Pu, they were almost the same, but Emperor Liu said Kaifeng tasted better, that's it, this kind of thing naturally had to cater to the emperor.

"By the way, there are still some mutton meat, try it too!" Emperor Liu said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Why don't you just have breakfast!" Seeing that Zhao Pu was always so reserved, Emperor Liu finally said, "If Zhao Qing is always so restrained, wouldn't it appear that you and I are born as monarchs and ministers, and this food is tasteless?"

"Your Majesty is disappointed!" Zhao Pu said.

"Okay!" Emperor Liu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a wry smile, "Drink milk! Eat buns!"

"Yes!"

When Emperor Liu no longer sought to be intimate with Zhao Pu, the atmosphere finally became much more natural, and the scene was equally harmonious.Obviously, Emperor Liu had to put himself in a superior position and maintain an attitude of supremacy over everything else, everyone was used to it.

"Is there anything I need to ask about today?" After eating, Emperor Liu talked about serious business for the first time.

Upon hearing the question, Zhao Pu was very cooperative, and reported in a timely manner: "I have something to say, and in accordance with the previous edict, I have already selected ten military and civilian officials who have made outstanding contributions in the disaster relief process!"

Mentioning this, Emperor Liu immediately became interested. This was already an order when the water was flooding the sky. After so long, Emperor Liu almost forgot.However, this cannot be shown naturally. On the contrary, Emperor Liu seemed very concerned: "Oh! People have been selected? Who are they?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the ten people are all ordinary military and civilian officials. Everyone is working hard to rescue the disaster without hesitating their own lives. They were jointly drafted by Hui (Song Yanwo), Shou (Li Shaoyou), and Geng (Wu Xingde)! "Zhao Pu replied.

Emperor Liu seemed very satisfied with this: "It's so good. To see greatness in the ordinary is to be united. When the most ordinary soldiers and civilians work together and help each other, there will be no difficulties, and they will not be able to overcome them." of!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu said.

Emperor Liu: "Where are everyone?"

Zhao Pu: "Temporarily placed in the post, waiting for summons!"

Emperor Liu only thought about it for a while, and seemed very happy, and ordered: "Let's set it in the afternoon, and order a banquet to be prepared. Not only will I meet them in person, but I will also invite them to a banquet in person! At that time, Zhao Qing will also come to accompany you." !"

"Yes!" Zhao Pu obeyed.

By the time Zhao Pu bid farewell and "get rid" of the Chongzheng Palace, the time was coming to an end.The air was faintly shrouded in autumn cold, but Zhao Pu felt like he was sweating. Emperor Liu's enthusiasm today was really too much for people to bear.

In the Guangzheng Hall, only a few subordinate officials are working, and these are all people who are allowed to drive, which seems a little deserted.However, Zhao Pu's arrival still caused some commotion. That luxurious gown was really eye-catching and made people have to pay attention.

Although forced by the rules and Zhao Pu's majesty, he didn't dare to speak boldly, but the surprised expressions and frequent eyes of the subordinates already explained everything.

Zhao Pu was naturally aware of the reactions of his subordinates, and he didn't get carried away, and even seemed a little heavy-hearted.At the first moment, Zhao Pu took off the Jiaolong robe and asked someone to take a regular uniform and put it on.

As for the dragon robe, he put it away respectfully, he didn't intend to wear it anymore, he would rather keep it in his family than show it off.

Even if it's just a dragon robe, it's still a dragon robe. Even if Zhao Pu is the prime minister, the symbolic meaning in it is not something he can easily bear.

Zhao Pu is calm enough and clear-headed enough.Some favors cannot be enjoyed with peace of mind.
