Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Upside Down the Country

The old woman smiled and said: "You seem to be foreigners, and you don't know the rules of this upside-down country. Anyone who has children in this upside-down country must close their accounts for ten days. This Li Gui is about to have a baby, but you knock on the door, she doubts It’s the midwife who came, and you made her family happy, so she got angry naturally. This inversion of the country’s rules has been practiced since ancient times, and even the king can’t control it.” Hong Bo said: "Who is the king now?" The old woman said: "Now the king is Yu Meiren, the only daughter of Xiang Yu. In the past, Yu Ji was the mother of Yu Meiren. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, now lives in Jiangdong Kingdom. I heard that he became the king. Let this upside-down king, just because Sima Guang came from the kingdom of saints that year, he hanged out with him and made Sima Guang his queen; Xiang Yu was of course furious when he heard about it, and last year he bought the dead men from the kingdom of assassins and stabbed the king to death in the imperial court. Garden, after the death of Concubine Yu, the people of the country saw that her daughter Yu Meiren was wise and rational, so they embraced her to sit on the throne, and Sima Guang sat on the throne of queen mother. Although Yu Meiren became the queen, the real power of the country was held by the queen mother Sima Guang and the officials. In the hands of the leader Yutangchun."

Hong Bo asked, "Then who is Yutangchun?" The old woman said again: "Yutangchun was originally a singing girl in the Luohua Kingdom, and she followed Sima Guang, and Sima Guang brought her to the Upside Down Kingdom, where she became an official and was Sima Guang's confidant. The military power was in Yutangchun's hands Li. Yutangchun is used to using power and tricks, and he learned from the son of the prince, Meng Changjun, who has raised three thousand followers, all of whom are women, and all of them are brave." While talking, I saw an inspector over there shouting: "Ying talks about state affairs!"

The old woman stuck out her tongue.Na Hongbo said: "It's getting late today, we want to find a hotel, you can introduce a place." The woman said: "We don't have a hostel here, but we have a family pool. There are many bunks in the spring pool. You are foreigners and don't know the benefits of this spring water. This spring water comes from the country of heavenly fragrance. After cleansing, it not only moisturizes the skin, but also It can prevent skin diseases." "Where is the spring pool?" Hong Bo asked. "Just ten miles north of the capital, there is an inverted mountain over there. A clear waterfall on the mountain flows into the inverted pool. The queen often goes there to take a shower, and ordinary people can also go there."

Hong Bo thanked Li Kui and went to the spring pool.After traveling ten miles to the north, I saw a peak, on which a waterfall poured down, like a jade belt floating down the sky, with shadows of towers and pavilions looming on both sides.There are poems to prove it: The poem says: When we arrived in front of the building, we saw two female soldiers guarding the building. The female soldier asked, "Who are you?" Hong Bo said, "Travelers, stay here." The female soldier led out a female officer, and the female officer led the two of them in, passing through the courtyard, bamboo forest, rockery, and secluded stream, to a guest building.The female official said: "Just go up, and then count the silver taels before you leave."

Hong Bo and Li Kui went upstairs and saw that the inside was tidy. Li Kui felt tired early and lay down on the bed first.Curious, Hong Bo came up to the balcony. There is a pool of clear water coming from the small bridge over there, and the golden lotus is blooming, with crystal water droplets rolling on the purse, and the water droplets on the broad leaves are swimming around, and a clump of purple bamboo is planted next to it, and the breeze floats, bringing coolness. Hong Bo looked forward, and there was a faint sound of singing and dancing on the balcony. Hong Bo leaned on the railing and watched the moon, touched the scene with emotion, and chanted to himself:

After singing, he leaned on the railing and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was dawn, and a round of red sun was slowly rising, breaking through the vines, and the mountain peak looked majestic and magnificent, with a clear view of the mountain. Hong Bo went to the room and saw Li Kui was sleeping dimly. When Hong Bo pushed Li Kui in the past, he suddenly felt cold under his hands. It turned out that Li Kui had urinated on the bed.Angry and laughing, Hong Bo pushed Li Kui and said, "Hurry up and get up, the owner will come later, and it's time to ask you for money for the mattress."

Li Kui felt that someone was pushing him, so he jumped up with a "huh". Seeing that it was Hong Bo, he lowered his head and touched the bed. The mother-in-law won't let her go, so she managed to escape to the countryside, so why not use this bed again, hee hee!" As he spoke, he moved the quilt back and forth to cover the wet part of the bed, rubbed his eyes and came out.At this time a maid came up and said to Hong Bo: "Sir, the spring water is still warm now, you can go to that spring pool to take a bath. There are few people now, and there are too many people to swim at noon."

Hong Bo and Li Kui agreed and went to the spring pool with the maid. The spring pool is indeed beautiful and fresh, a stream of water flows down from the jade faucet, the spring pool is carved out of agate and emerald, bright and crystal clear, like a crystal pool.But I saw a beautiful girl half-lying on the wisteria chair by the pool; the beautiful lady was barefooted in mint veil, and Hong Bo and Li Kui didn't care much, so they went to the pool to take a bath.After a while, the maid brought the two of them ashore and came to Meiji, who smiled and said, "Who are you, and when will you come to our country?"

After Hong Bo talked about it, Na Meiji said: "I heard about Mr. Chen's name earlier, but the journey was hard and the kingdom of heaven is vast, so why waste your knowledge, why not do a career in my upside-down country, and you will not be in vain as a talented man. I This is the empress here, who can raise talents, and the country just lacks a prime minister, if you don't mind, you can take the role, I don't know what to do?" When Li Kui heard this, he jumped up angrily and said, "How can you be the king, and let our husband be the prime minister, wouldn't it be too deceitful!"

Hong Bo shouted: "Li Kui is so rude! This is Your Majesty, you should respect it!" Li Kui was still angry, and still said angrily: "What's the reason? My husband has both talent and talent, and he is qualified to be an emperor. How can you be jealous of a woman? I think you are only worthy of being a servant girl for your husband!" Yu Meiren is really gentle and kind. After hearing this, instead of being annoyed, she said leisurely: "This big man, don't get angry. I'm an upside-down country, and I only use the word 'epilepsy'. This is a rule established by the Chinese people since ancient times. No one can change it arbitrarily, and now Mr. Liu's original intention is to work hard to govern the country, and there is no intention to belittle it."

Li Kui and Fu Hongbo whispered in their ears: "Be a prime minister first, and then it's not too late to plot against the emperor later." Hong Bo laughed and said, "Look at you nigger, you're really calculating! It's just that I, Chen Hongbo, am not a man of fame and wealth, but it's good to help the king organize the state affairs, not to mention the king is sincere." The female officer prepared the car and went back to the palace to see the Queen Mother.After a while, the chariots and horses were ready, Yu Meiren took the two of them into the phoenix chariot and drove back to the palace. When they arrived in the palace, Yu Meiren settled the two in Xiangguo's mansion and sent a maid to deliver the robes; then Li Kui picked up a red robe and wanted to put it on, but the maid hurriedly stopped and said, "This is the official robe of Xiangguo, which was changed by Mr. , that Xuanpao was changed by you, so you can't do it wrong." Li Kui shouted: "I am already black, how can I wear a black robe? Isn't it black on top of black?" Hong Bo smiled and said: "Just now in the car, I made an agreement with the empress, please be a military officer in the prime minister's mansion, and hold some military power first, this black robe is probably the officer's uniform, you can wear it." Li Kui said with a smile: "I'm afraid this soldier and horse guard is not the official position of Sun Houzi's Bi Mawen. Both official positions have the word 'horse'. Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" Changed. All of a sudden, Yu Meiren was surrounded by court ladies and invited them to meet the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager lived in the Faint Flower Palace, when a group of people came, they saw Sima Guang supporting himself to lose weight, and several young maids took turns putting their legs in and beating his chest.Yu Mei said goodbye, and invited the two of them to see her, but Li Kui held her head high and refused to worship.Sima Guang didn't want to say anything when he saw the aura of the two of them, but he reluctantly socialized and fell asleep lazily.Yu Meiren led the two of them to Yuhua Palace to meet Yutangchun. The official Yutangchun led several disciples who were wielding swords. Seeing the two coming, she pretended to flatter her. After a few days in a row, nothing happened. Li Kui practiced the five hundred female soldiers sent to Xiangguo's mansion, but they worked hard and returned at night.Hong Bo was overjoyed when he saw it, and said, "Li Kui is really rough and fine, and he trains soldiers well." However, in Xiangguo's mansion, the number of complaints against the queen mother and officials has increased day by day. Hong Bo knows that the queen mother is in power, and Yutangchun is also very angry.One day, Li Kui handed over another letter. After Hong Bo read it, he was naturally shocked. Li Kui saw Mr.'s gloomy expression and asked, "Why is Mr. surprised?" Hong Bodao: "This letter was written by a partnership of men from the Upside Down Country. It's an appeal to men to stand up, saying that women oppress them too deeply. They can't bear it. They demand reform. Let me make a decision!" When Li Kui heard this, he said angrily: "Although we can't say 'men are superior to women', we can't 'women are superior to men'! My brothers from Liangshan gathered in Shandong and advocated equality between men and women. I also respect Hu Sanniang, Sun Erniang, and Gu Dasao. I am more like my own sister, and she promised me to find a wife! This upside-down country clearly bullies men too much!" Hong Bo said: "You can't blame Poppies either. This upside-down country is based on the word 'upside down', but persuading the king to carry out reforms and advocating equality between men and women is a good strategy." Then Li Kui asked again: "The man from the Upside Down Country has sued this matter, but I heard that the woman also sued, but I don't know what the man sued?" Hong Bo said: "This woman is suing the Empress Dowager and the official Yu Tangchun." Li Kui stepped forward and grabbed the document and asked urgently, "What are you suing?" Hong Bodao: "Suggest the Empress Dowager and Yutangchun to search for beauties and men from the folk to indulge in lust and murder, and then kill people to hide their evil." Li Kui said: "If there is such a thing, I will chop that old devil's grandson and that stinky woman with an axe. First, I will relieve Grandpa Li's sulking in the past few years, and the reputation of 'Black Whirlwind' will not be in vain!" Hong Bo said: "Proceed with caution, so that there will be no chaos, and it will not be too late to make plans after finding out." Just as he was speaking, he saw a staggering young man crashing into the outside, seeing Hong Bo, trembling unceasingly. When Hong Bo saw it, he hurriedly asked why? exactly: There has never been less injustice in the sky Who has the sword to cry out
