Chapter IX The Emperor's Old Son

"Huh, this meal really doesn't taste good." Yun Qi, stroking his full belly, sat in a separate room of the royal study and leaned on a chair.

Zhu Zidao had to go out after lunch not long after. Thinking that Zhu Zidao had to go to the toilet to cheer and cheer, seven or eight eunuchs were waiting on him. Yun Qi curled his lips to express disdain and also thought to himself: This ancient king is really amazing.

, serving meals, reading books, sleeping with concubines, and even going to the toilet, this is a small life. After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps coming from outside the house, knowing that the emperor was relaxed, Yun Qi hurriedly

Sit up straight.

As soon as Zhu Zidao entered the study room, he shouted: Happy, this meal is just for cleaning up the memory after the meal, this is too much. Zhu Zidao retreated from the crowd, swayed like a fool, tied his hands with a gold silk belt, and sat on the soft couch

, picked up the blue-carved tea cup, twisted the cup lid to brush away the tea leaves floating on the water, took a big sip: "Hiss, vomit." He put down the tea cup and leaned on the soft couch, and then began to pay attention to Yun Qi: "Yun Qi

,Where are they from?”

"Your Majesty, the hometown of the grassroots is thousands of miles away and is called South Yunnan."

Now whenever someone asks Yun Qi where he is from, he will say so, and now he feels as if he really came from there.

Zhu Zidao stared at Yun Qi, his eyes full of majesty, nodded, and continued: "Well, the prince said so too. In this way, you are not a commoner of the southern country."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the common people later lived here and were rescued by Mr. Yang, so they stayed in Mr. Yang's house to make a living."

Yun Qi answered truthfully. He still vaguely remembered that when he traveled through time and came to this world, he happened to fall into Baihua Lake, was rescued by Yang Qin, and then stayed in the Yang Mansion. The imperial study was not big, and the interior was decorated in yellow.

Zhu Zidao, who was born in the imperial palace, didn't notice anything about this overall feeling, but Yun Qi felt it was very depressing.

Zhu Zidao took out the cigarettes that the prince had collected from Yun Qi last time from one end of the soft couch, took out one, lit it, took a puff, and asked with a satisfied smile: "Are these cigarettes yours too?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass-roots people's hometown is rich in this stuff, so the grass-roots people took some with them when they fled, and now there are only a few left. This stuff can be seen everywhere in small hometowns, but here it is really like a treasure. If you want to buy it again,

It is indeed as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Yun Qi was worried that Zhu Zidao would ask him for it. He didn't have much left. Before leaving, he had two packages left. He hid one package under the bed and took another package with him. When Yun Qi heard that the emperor asked him about this, he also

I thought I wanted to ask him for more. If I said it nicely, I would ask for it. If I said it badly, I would force you to give a confession.

How could Zhu Zidao not know Yun Qi's thoughts? He exhaled a mouthful of turbid smoke, squinted his eyes and said: "Haha, you have a cunning mind. I still have some here, so I won't ask you for them. These things will happen later.

Let’s talk about it later, do you know why I recruited you into the palace this time?” The more Zhu Zi said this, the more solemn his expression became, and the previous smile disappeared completely.

When Yun Qi saw Zhu Zidao's face, he secretly felt that it was not a trivial matter. He put away his cynicism and replied seriously: "This is for your Majesty, the common people don't know."

Zhu Zidao stood up from the soft couch, walked around the desk, walked slowly, and said: "Some time ago, the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, and the Shu Kingdom was in ruins. Before that, the Shu Kingdom had a faint tendency to dominate the entire Qiankun Continent.

Now it will be like the sun to destroy Chu State, the biggest enemy. And our Southern State was originally a vassal state of Chu State, and its national power is weak. Now that Chu State has been destroyed, the current situation of our country is not optimistic." Having said this, Zhu Zidao said

He turned around and thought about Yun Qi's expression. He saw that Yun Qi was listening attentively, but his eyes were clear and fearful. He secretly thought that this kid had an extraordinary mind and was not that useless idiot.

Turning around, Zhu Zidao continued: "Our country has a total of seven cities, which are combined into two counties, with a strength of 40,000. In an emergency, we can gather 100,000. But this is still no match for the Shu Kingdom that is about to go south. Now I have

Ordered a nationwide recruitment, and searched for general talents hidden in the market. These days, it has been quite effective. More than 10,000 soldiers have been recruited, and many generals have been found. Oh, by the way, there are also people you know.

, As you know, the last time the prince went to Sinan, he found a man named Zhong Yuan there."

When Yun Qi heard this, he remembered that Zhong Yuan was the martial arts master he found last time when he accompanied the prince to Suo Shi Village. A snake spear of eight feet in length made a tiger and a tiger powerful and majestic. But Yun Qi himself felt that he and Zhong Yuan only

It can be considered a familiar face, but if it is said to be acquaintance, it has not yet reached this stage: "Your Majesty, the common people have remembered that this person does exist, but the common people cannot be considered familiar with this person."

Zhu Zidao nodded and continued: "I will now put this person in charge of the prince, and the prince will take him as a staff member." After saying this, Yun Qi responded.

Yun Qi chuckled softly and said calmly: "That's not bad. He suddenly became an aide to the prince from a country villager, and his superb martial arts skills are not in vain."

"Oh? Aren't you envious? I remember that you are just a book boy now."

Yun Qi now knows why Zhu Zidao talked about Zhong Yuan in front of him. Presumably he wanted to tell him that if a talented and capable person is killed by the royal family, he can turn into a phoenix in an instant. If you, Yun Qi, have real talent and practical knowledge, follow him

Zhong Yuan's circumstances were unlikely to be too different. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the common people are not blind people. It's just that Zhong Yuan is very strong in martial arts. His ability to serve as an adviser to the crown prince relies entirely on his solid skills."

, Yun Qi is not envious."

It is not easy to compare, he is down-to-earth, calm in dealing with things, and smooth in doing things. This is another impression that Yun Qi gave Zhu Zidao. Now he began to believe what the prince said from the bottom of his heart. He said again: "The prince is asking me to marry you."

Seeing that Zhu Zidao had extended an olive branch, Yun Qi smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, the common people want to be ordinary people. The Emperor also knows that the common people have fled here from war-torn places, so the common people yearn for a more comfortable life."

Zhu Zidao added: "Although you are not from the Southern Kingdom, you are now in the Southern Kingdom, so you can be considered a Southerner. The Shu Kingdom is powerful and will attack our territory soon. You...are going to ignore it?"

Yun Qi stood up and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Your Majesty, it's not that the common people have to stay out of the matter. It's that the common people have limited abilities. If the Shu Kingdom really invades one day, the common people will do their best... to protect their families." Tantan said.

The last four words.

Zhu Zidao did not get angry, but asked: "Are you talking about the Yang family?"

Yun Qi said: "Exactly, thanks to Mr. Yang's taking in, not only the grassroots are provided with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also monthly salary. The grassroots are also very happy to get along with the Yang family, so I ask the emperor to forgive the grassroots for not being able to take on such a big responsibility."

Zhu Zidao snorted coldly: "Hmph... Yun Qi, don't think that I summon you and you just think that you are a treasure. There are so many talented people in the place I govern. It's not your turn to take on big responsibilities."

Although he knew that Zhu Zidao was a little displeased, he took advantage of his words and said, "The common people also feel that the emperor has many talented people. The common people are just a scholar. It is true as the emperor said. Please don't embarrass the emperor."

Zhu Zidao glared and shouted coldly with a bad tone: "Are you saying that I am making things difficult for you?"

Luck quickly responded: "The common people don't dare."

"Humph!" Zhu Zidao snorted coldly, looked at Yun Qi for a while, and then said: "Back off!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Retreat!" Yun Qi bowed respectfully and stepped back out of the imperial study.

Every time he heard Zhu Zidao saying to himself in the room: "Huh, Yun Qi, you are really stubborn as the prince said. But I am becoming more and more interested in you. I believe you will do it next time."

I'll take the initiative to find you next time."

On the way back, Yun Qi asked a eunuch to lead the way. It was already afternoon. Unexpectedly, he went out before dawn and stayed in the palace for most of the day. The carriage that had come all the way to Yang Ziting was still parked outside the palace gate. Yun Qi
