0045 Help

The dinner is ready. Ling Feng has already picked up a pen in the imperial study. The flying pigeon wrote an invitation letter and invited the Dragon King of the East China Sea to come and talk about it.

The dinner party is approaching. The lights are already bright in the Weiyang Palace, and the ministers in the court have also arrived as scheduled. Those ministers heard that His Majesty is going to invite the legendary Dragon King of the East China Sea to dinner tonight. They are all wearing the most gorgeous clothes, precious jade pendants on their waists, and gold and silver all over their bodies. It's really decent. Extreme!

But Ling Feng smiled, these idiots, their gold, silver and jewelry will all belong to themselves later!

Ling Feng has sat high on the throne of the emperor in the middle of the top, and a middle minister has also been sitting on both sides. Ling Feng glanced around, and most of the officials below came wearing precious gold, silver and jade ornaments. Only a few courtiers were still dressed in cloth, which made him feel gratified. It seemed that there was still clear in the court. Incorruptible officials.

Next to Ling Feng's throne, there is still an empty seat, which is prepared for the Dragon King. General Wencheng has also sat on both sides one after another, greeting each other and talking quietly about something, but they have not seen the arrival of the Dragon King of the East China Sea for a long time.

Ling Feng cleared his throat and coughed dryly. The ministers immediately stopped, and the Weiyang Palace was suddenly quiet. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly came from outside the door. The strong wind automatically opened the door. The ministers looked up and looked out of the door. They saw lightning and thunder in the sky, and a gray dragon winding in the sky.

Then, the dragon folded in the air and flew straight this way. It flew closer and closer. When it arrived in the house, it turned into one

Humanoid appearance, but he has antlers on his head, but it is different from ordinary people.

Tick~

The courtiers looked at each other. Presumably this was the legendary Dragon King of the East China Sea. I didn't expect that Your Majesty really had the ability to invite him. But as soon as the Dragon King of the East China Sea appeared, it was like a pouring rain on the ministers. Then the table and the ground were full of water, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea was also wet.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea turned into a human form, and the lightning in the sky had stopped. He took a few steps forward and saluted the young man of the superior,

"Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, meets His Majesty the Great Dragon Empire. Long live our emperor!"

"Flat body." Ling Feng said.

'Sis~'

Seeing this scene, all the ministers couldn't help taking a deep breath, "Damn it, the legendary Dragon King of the East China Sea still has to bow to the emperor. This is too awesome." Thinking of this, the ministers couldn't help but feel that there was light on their faces. They hurriedly tidied up their clothes, and their faces were full of pride.

Ling Feng obviously didn't expect that Ao Guang would give himself such face. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Dragon King of the East China Sea, since you are the king, I am the emperor, and the king is also right. Come on, I have ordered the imperial dining room to make your favorite food."

"Thank you for giving me a seat." Ao Guang bowed his hand and sat down.

When Na Aoguang took a seat, Ling Feng introduced the dishes to him one by one. "Today, I invited the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I specially ordered the imperial dining room to make your favorite seafood food. There are sweet and sour carp, boiled fish, pickled fish with pickled cabbage, bean fish, steamed bass, especially this chopped pepper fish head. The method is unique. First use a knife to split the fish head, and then Cook it."

Ling Feng took the trouble to introduce the dishes to it. In fact, he was also unintentional. He said that since the Dragon King of the East China Sea lived in the sea, he naturally liked to eat fish. However, the Dragon King of the East China Sea had a convulsion on his face, but it was not easy to speak out.

"Come on, Dragon King of the East China Sea, try the 'carp leaping dragon gate' I picked up for you." Ling Feng said, so he raised his sleeve and put a dish for the Dragon King of the East China Sea, which was white and smooth fish.

When the Dragon King of the East China Sea saw that the food was given by the emperor himself, he had to frown and eat it. Those were all his descendants. Other ministers came out from their mother's womb. How could they ever see the Dragon King show his divine power? But today, he quickly raised his glass and stood up to toast the Dragon King one after another.

These courtiers are looking for a fortune, some are looking for good weather, all kinds of things, and finally there are children who want to survive. Damn it, shouldn't you send Guanyin early to have a baby? Does this guy want to have a dragon?

"You bastard!" Ling Feng shouted and scolded, and the courtiers stopped talking. After seeing the three rounds of wine, Ling Feng talked about business with the Dragon King, "Dragon King of the East China Sea, why is there a drought in the north of the city of the Great Dragon Empire this year? Now the people have no harvest, and they also ask the Dragon King to rain to save the lives of the people."

The Dragon King lives in the Dragon Palace in the sea all year round. Although the ministers toasted him repeatedly, I'm afraid it's still far from getting him drunk. Now when I heard your majesty say this, he replied,

"I would like to inform your Majesty that although there is a drought in the north of the city, the heavenly court will rain down every month." After saying that, he took out an account book from his arms, licked his fingers with his mouth, opened a few pages, and handed it to Ling Feng and said,

"Your Majesty, please see, as recorded in the account book, this year's rain has already fallen."

"Have all the rains fallen this year? Then why is the north of the city still dry? Last time I personally inspected the north of the city, I personally set foot on that land, and almost thought that I had gone to Mars. There was not even a drop of water in the north of the city, but I heard what the Dragon King just said, where did all the rainwater go? Ling Feng asked.

"This..." The Dragon King thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if the rain has fallen, but there is still a drought in the north of the city, it can only show that I'm afraid there will be monsters."

"Monster?" When the ministers heard this, they all looked sideways and began to panic.

Ling Feng looked solemn. It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem. He just heard what the Dragon King said today, which just confirmed the conjecture in his heart and said,

"Dragon King, do you know who the monster is making trouble?"

"Ha ha, this matter is simple. Your Majesty will find the landlord to ask questions, and it will be clear?" The Dragon King drank a glass of sweet grape wine and said.

"Well, to tell you the truth, not long ago, the land official resigned because of the famine." Ling Feng said.

"Ah, that's right." The Dragon King of the East China Sea frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said, "It is said that there is a monster in the world called Drought, which will suck up the waters of a region to cause drought. Is it the monster made by the drought?"

Hearing what the Dragon King of the East China Sea said, Ling Feng immediately understood that it took time to find the early drought and get rid of the drought. When he got rid of the monster drought, I'm afraid that the people had already starved to death, and the distant water could not quench the thirst.

So Ling Feng said to the Dragon King, "I heard that the Dragon King has enough water storage. Can you lower it to solve the drought of the people of our empire?"

Ao Guang put down the glass and said, "The rain and dew has fallen in the northern part of the city this year, but if your majesty wants to rain again, Ao Guang can't refute your majesty's face. Then it's four yuan for a meal."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea just returned the gift of the emperor and minister. When it came to the money transaction, he immediately looked pale and replied to the merchant's profit-seeking nature.

"Shit, four yuan a ton of water, you might as well grab it! Make it clear that Tianting Shuide Xingjun is the waterworks. At most, there is seawater here. How can you sell it for four yuan per meal?

Ling Feng's eyes widened and said that he had just asked the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies that his treasury has less than one million taels of savings at present. If he really falls as Ao Guang said, he can't afford to pay the money anyway.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." After listening to Ling Feng's words, Ao Guang, the dragon king of the East China Sea, couldn't help nodding and said, "In that case, Weichen Ao Guang will give you a discount. Just make it cheaper to rain." Although Ao Guang is willing to call himself a minor minister, he is only nominal. After all, the Dragon King does not belong to the human family.

"That doesn't work either." Ling Feng immediately retorted that even so, the rain was very expensive.

After several bargains, although Ling Feng kept the price to the lowest point, it was still a big expense. He turned around and said to the rest of the ministers, "It is our duty to save the people from the fire and water!"

"What your majesty said!"

"What the emperor said is reasonable!!"

......

Soon, many courtiers would agree one after another, but Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, turned his head to one side,

"Well, you saved your human people, and I only care about the people of my aquarium. Besides, you have eaten so many of my people tonight, but now you still want to talk to me about fighting water and fire?"

Ling Feng was silent, and he immediately turned to the courtiers and said, "Since everyone believes that it is an incumbent duty and mission to save the people of the people from water and fire, please donate to the disaster area one after another."

The courtiers looked at each other, stood up one after another, and said,

"I am willing to donate 5 taels of silver."

"I am willing to donate 10 taels of silver..."

"Your Majesty, Weichen's salary this month is too low, and I ask for a salary increase."

......

As soon as Ling Feng finished his words, the ministers of the court complained one after another. Unexpectedly, there were not only those who did not donate to the disaster area, but also asked him to increase his salary. Ling Feng sighed. Fortunately, he had already thought about how to deal with these old and cunning guys. So, he said,

"Pr. Wen, the piece of jade on your waist is good. It should be worth a lot."

"Also, General Wu, the purple gold ring you wear on your finger should be donated, which is also a tribute to your love for the disaster area."

Prime Minister Wen and General Wu looked embarrassed, and the muscles on their faces couldn't help twitching, but since the emperor said that one is the head of a hundred officials and the other is the head of the generals, which should be used as an example. Moreover, for General Wencheng, this little money is really nothing.

Therefore, Prime Minister Wen respectfully handed over his jade pendant, and General Wu had also taken off his valuable purple gold ring and put it in Ling Feng's hand.

Seeing this, the ministers were all in a burst of pain in their hearts. Tonight, they wore a precious dress, which was originally used to fill the facade. These ornaments were usually reluctant to wear. Unexpectedly, as soon as they were put on, they were in the hands of the emperor.

However, the ministers saw that the generals of Wencheng had also set an example, and the emperor had also issued an order, so they had to bear to give up their love and dedicate all the precious gold, silver and jewelry hanging on their waists and on their hands.

Ling Feng's plan was successful. Seeing that those courtiers offered their treasures one after another, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will tell the world. All courtiers sympathize with the people, and the public morality is commendable. The whole country should be regarded as an example!"
