After Ge Xiuwu and Bai Zhou passed the test, they were taken outside the Daming Palace to wait. They waited until His Majesty was about to come before they were led outside the Imperial Study Room.
Not long after they stood still, they saw from a distance the emperor, dressed in bright yellow embroidered flying dragon robes and wearing a crown, came slowly by foot. Although he was young and handsome in appearance, he was not very feminine. , The eyebrows were slightly twisted, and his face was solemn, even more majestic.
Although Ge Xiuwu and Bai Zhou had seen the appearance of the emperor at Jitian Li, they were far apart at that time and they didn't see it really. They saw it up close at this time, and they knew that the emperor deserves to be the emperor. This kind of majesty is really not them. Any noble minister I have ever seen can be compared.
The two were here to cast the effect, and at this time they didn't dare to have a half-hearted contempt, and even the pride of their talents was reduced. Instead, they bowed respectfully and bowed.
His Majesty the Emperor stepped up and down, walked to the two of them, and said: "Flat!" Thinking of what happened today, even when facing two pickles that voluntarily ran over, he couldn't show a smile on his face.
After the two thanked them, they got up together. Ge Xiuwu's face was more rough and heroic, but his undulating muscles were very conspicuous. Although Bai Zhou looked thinner, his face was handsome and elegant. At first glance, he was a handsome scribe.
Although their appearance and temperament are completely different, the two of them are the same... taller than the emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor stared at the top of the two men's head, and his mood became even more depressed. Turned around and stepped into the Royal Study Room first.
Ge Bai and two of them are unclear, so seeing the emperor's expression gloomy, they thought that the emperor was unhappy because of their nationality. The two looked at each other, and they knelt down as soon as they stepped into the study, saying that they would voluntarily give up their nationality and become Qi people.
After the emperor was sitting on the book table, he heard the two men's tone firm and somewhat surprised. He ordered the two to get up, only to find that the two were really tall. He had to look up at them while sitting, so he had to say, "Give you a seat."
Father Gao immediately ordered the people below to bring two round stools.
Looking at the two people sitting on the round stool with their eyes shorter than him, His Majesty finally nodded in satisfaction.
Ge Xiuwu breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that His Majesty is really satisfied with his and Brother Bai Zhou's answers, and this will give them a seat.
Bai Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief. This was what he expected. As early as when he decided to leave the country of Wu, he had discussed with Xiuwu. In the future, he must abandon the nationality of the country of Wu.
Feng Yuan was also at the moment. He was standing next to his Majesty. Seeing the two sitting down, he gently introduced his Majesty to their family background.
Hearing that there is still a huge family behind Bai Zhou, His Majesty the Emperor became a little curious and asked: "You have not come to Qi country thousands of miles away, don't you miss your relatives in your hometown?"
Ge Xiuwu arched his hands and said: "His Majesty, the Cao Min has no father or mother since he was a child. It was only adopted by the parents of the Bai Zhou brothers to learn martial arts. The Bai Zhou brothers left Qi and wanted to display their ambitions. The Cao Min also felt that the monarch of Wu was incompetent. He also wanted to show his ambition, so he followed him."
Bai Zhou said: "Cao Min's parents have passed away, and only a few uncles are still alive, but Cao Min is not close to them. The only relatives he misses are his cousin. The cousin's parents have died. It is pitiful to be helpless. Caomin wanted to wait for his cousin to settle down in Qi, so he took his cousin over to live with him." He and his cousin agreed on three lives, and the emperor of Qi found out when he checked it out. Now he also said his weakness. The emperor should be relieved. Right!
His Majesty the Emperor was a little disappointed. Oh, it turns out that the emperor of the State of Wu fainted. It turns out that they didn't come to Qi State because they heard my beautiful name and admired it!
The two of Bai Zhou naturally didn't expect the thoughts in his majesty's heart. Seeing that his majesty didn't show any joy after hearing this, they secretly said: It is the Chollima, and they also try their best to run before they can make Bole's attention. The two of them should show your majesty their talents as soon as possible.
Although this imperial study room is large, it is not easy to use martial arts. If you accidentally smash something precious, it will make your majesty dislike it. So Bai Zhou took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the brothers Caomin and Xiuwu have come to Qi country these days and have seen the vast land and resources of Qi country, but also saw that Qi has internal and external troubles at this time, and there are many bad governance." This is also Bai. One of the reasons why Zhou finally decided to stay in Qi State. Although he has not been to Chen State, he has heard a lot of rumors. There are elders in the family who have traveled to Chen State. He knows that the monarch of Chen State has worked hard to govern and there are many good people in the country. Chen Liangjiang, the two of them were born in a foreign country, and they may not be able to be reused if they go, but Qi is different. Qi is now in urgent need of talents, and even a few months in advance of the provincial examination, they will definitely be able to show off when they come to Qi. ambition.
Besides, Qi State is closer to his hometown of Wu State.
The common people in this era don’t have too much loyalty and patriotism. If Ge Xiuwu and Bai Zhou are already serving as officials in the country of Wu, but they want to come to the country of Qi to seek employment, they may be arrested in the country before leaving the country of Wu. Even if they were arrested and put in jail, even if they could run out of Wu, such a traitor would be destined to be rejected by Qi. However, these two people are just white bodies, and from past experience, there is no chance to enter the power center of Wu. Now they have made it clear that they want to abandon their original nationality, and Qi will not make a difference here.
Regarding what Bai Zhou said about Qi's domestic and foreign troubles, His Majesty the Emperor was very clear, otherwise he would not have a good happy life. However, he greeted the dark and ran to the Imperial Study Room to work in the morning. He wrinkled his brows slightly and asked: "Then tell me, how did my Qi country suffer internally and externally?"
Bai Zhou bowed his hand and bowed his hand. He calmly learned from the geographical location, customs and conditions of Qi, when he talked about the recent Changzhou plague, he also calculated according to his own estimates that Daqi needs a large amount of money and food, and the national treasury is afraid that it will be powerless. But I can’t raise taxes, so I proposed that your Majesty attach importance to business and reopen business!
"Reopening the business way" can be regarded as the heart of your Majesty. On the way back to Beijing this morning, he told his concubine about finding some merchants to earn money for him! Qi State’s southern land is close to the sea, and the country is large. Originally, you could make a lot of money and food through maritime trade routes. Unfortunately, Qi State has been focusing on agriculture and suppressing trade for nearly a hundred years. Even the maritime trade routes have been cut off. After so many years, it has been unable to make ends meet. After being poor and weak for a long time, the treasury was emptied by just curing the plague and training some soldiers.
Anyhow, it is a big country. Wouldn't it be a ridicule to say it. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has been thinking about the Burnt Star Tower in his previous life. He immediately asked: "I heard Feng Shangshu said that you are proficient in merchants?"
In fact, Bai Zhou is good at many things, but the merchants are what he is most interested in. However, when it comes to business, some scholars always find it dirty. Bai Zhou originally thought that the emperor would give birth to dislikes. At this time, he was very interested in seeing him. He looked like, and finally let go of the last bit of anxiety in his heart, calmly saying: "Now Daqi needs a lot of money and food, and the grassroots are not talented, there are a few strategies to solve Your Majesty's urgent need."
His Majesty the Emperor was happy, but sitting behind the bookcase, his chin lifted slightly, calmly and calmly, and said, "Say."
Yao Yanyan was a little irritable. In the past, she came to Kuishui just like a okay person. Apart from the trouble, she never felt a bit bitter, she should eat, drink, sleep, and even run and jump. There was nothing wrong with it, but this time, her belly It was just like rebellion, and there was always a irritating feeling of falling pain, and it was as heavy as if he had picked up a lot of things, making people feel uncomfortable everywhere.
She leaned on the soft collapse, let the Qinghu and Bihu rub her belly in turn, fanning her a little annoyingly and asked, "How is Gu Zhaorong now?"
Hong Hu had just returned from inquiring about the news, and he immediately said: "I heard Gu Zhaorong's maid said that Gu Zhaorong shut himself up in the bedroom and cried as soon as he went back, and he hasn't come out yet!"
In other words, my palace and your majesty can only eat the royal dining room for dinner
Yao Yanyan bitterly. Yushufang’s food is actually delicious, but Gu Zhaorong’s appetite has already been raised by Gu Zhaorong. If she goes to eat Yushanfang’s food, it will be a little bit boring. In addition, her stomach is still uncomfortable, and she feels even more upset.
Qinghu rubbed her belly and said, "Manny, Gu Zhaorong is justified in this way. What you said to her this morning is really too... and Gu Zhaorong has a good temper. If you change to a more scheming woman, say Maybe at this moment, she has already run to the empress dowager to file a complaint."
Yao Yanyan also understands that in this era, women’s fame is overwhelming, and Gu Zhaorong was born in the family of officials and eunuchs. Although he was an inconspicuous little official, his father died early, but he was also raised up as a lady. A woman, hearing that your Majesty wanted to send her away, didn't want to go to the lake. As for crying for a day or something... Hey, let her cry. She has a very painful stomach now, and she has no energy to coax people.
Lan Mengshi was reunited with her brother for two days at home, and then came back to the palace again. This morning, she heard that her mother felt that the menstrual belt was not easy to use. Come and show it to Yao Yanyan.
At this time, the emperor came down. He listened to Bai Zhou’s plan and discussed it with Feng Yuan for a while. He found that it was very feasible, so he stuffed Bai Zhou into the household and put Ge Xiuwu into the Dragon Guard. He was happily coming to share with Ai Concubine, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a disgusting woman holding a few weird-looking cloth strips, shamelessly dangling in front of Ai Concubine.
It happened that Yao Yanyan was tired from seeing the green and red pots, so she called Lan Mengshi on top and rubbed her belly.
Lan Mengshi agreed, and she was about to stretch her hands over, and suddenly heard a sharp shout from the door of the sleeping hall:
"Let go! Let me come!"
