Seeing the emperor's sudden appearance, Qi Xiaotong was quite surprised: "Looking at you like this, do you know my father?"
"Yes, we do know each other!" The emperor nodded without comment and said frankly.
"Yeah?"
"Um!"
Xiaotong still didn't believe it. You know, these days there are so many people pretending to be idiots and trying to get close to each other. Not to mention, there was such a large family in her own home.
How about testing him?
"Okay, first tell me what my dad looks like? Also, when and where did you meet my dad?"
"Haha, you are quite smart, you actually know how to test." The emperor smiled and said leisurely: "He... is just a little fat..."
"You're talking nonsense! My father is a handsome young man, where is the weight?" Xiaotong snorted and said displeased.
that is!
Mom said that daddy is the most handsome man in the world and the most family-oriented man, no one can compare with him!
"You haven't said yet, how did you meet?"
"The two of us were in... a restaurant in Fucheng, Yongchuan Prefecture..."
The emperor briefly introduced the so-called acquaintance process using a mixture of truth and ambiguity. Generally speaking, he chose the part of the past that happened when Linjiang went to the appointment.
When Xiaotong saw what he said about having a nose and eyes, she basically believed him. Since he was an old friend of his father's since childhood, he naturally couldn't be too rude.
So, she performed the crotch in an orderly manner.
In this way, the previous stiff atmosphere has relaxed.
After chatting for a while, the emperor took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that your father was sent to Qiongzhou as an official. What do your family think of this matter? Well, and the common people, they are
How did you comment?"
The incident of Qi Yufen's killing of King Yan caused a great uproar. It can be said that no one knew about it.
Therefore, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to ask the people what they really thought.
This kind of sound cannot be heard from above the court.
Unexpectedly, Xiaotong's reaction was huge, saying: "Your wording is inappropriate, I want to correct it. My father's move to be an official is not a normal move at all, but a demotion!" Then, she said
He said angrily: "As for the evaluation, I'd better learn from the common people's opinions. This seems more fair..."
"Okay, then tell me."
"The common people have all said that that big long worm has no working limbs, can't distinguish between grains, can't tell the difference between loyal and evil, good and evil, and handles things in a mess! I miss my father. He is not afraid of life and death, and loyally protects his master. In the end,
But he ended up being exiled. This move really chilled the hearts of loyal and righteous officials in the world!"
In fact, these words were not spoken by the common people at all, but she accidentally heard them from the mouth of her mentor Luo Yuan, and then went through her relatively "extreme" artistic processing, and finally expressed them from her own standpoint.
The main reason why I asked officials from all over the world to support me was to create a context of public outrage.
Like this?
The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and a sense of grievance came to his heart.
I did understand the meaning of these words, but I didn't understand the word 'that big long worm'.
Can't understand?
Then I'll give you some pointers.
Xiaotong didn't say anything, but pointed her delicate hand far away, indicating to him to see and understand by himself.
What are you looking at?
The emperor turned his head out of curiosity and saw a large paper dragon waiting to dance on the ground not far away.
dragon?
This...the meaning is self-evident.
The emperor looked stunned. He really couldn't understand how he could become a big worm in the eyes of the people, and he was also the kind of person who couldn't work hard with his limbs and couldn't distinguish between grains.
Not a high rating!
This time, the emperor's pride was really hurt.
You must know that he has always been determined to be a moral and wise king, and he has strict requirements on himself in governing the country. He never thought that in the end he would get such a ridiculing evaluation.
Can this child's words be trusted?
It should be credible!
As the saying goes: A child's words are unbridled. How can a child in his golden age lie to others?
"well……"
The depressed emperor was about to leave indifferently, when he suddenly heard Qi Xiaotong sigh again: "Oh, that long worm is just careless and incompetent. Unexpectedly, he is still an illiterate person."
What!
How come I have become an illiterate person again?
The emperor's face turned cold when he heard this, and he said displeasedly: "My child, please don't say such words again in the future. It won't be of any benefit to you. According to my estimation, the big man doesn't like to hear such remarks very much."
.”
Xiaotong, on the other hand, hummed softly and quoted historical sarcasm: "In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong once asked Wei Zheng: 'Why is life bright and what is dark?' Wei Zheng replied: 'Listening together will make you bright, and believing only will make you dark.
'If you can't even listen to the harsh advice, how can you accept good advice? He compares himself to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but he doesn't know that the two are open-minded kings. If he is really such a small-minded person, there is no need to compare.
Make a decision between high and low!"
this……
The emperor was suddenly startled and thought to himself: This child is not only skilled in martial arts, but also well versed in the history of China! It is not difficult to tell from her conversation that her literary talent is absolutely outstanding.
Then the question comes, who is her mentor?
Is it Qi Yu?
This doesn't make sense. In my impression, this kid doesn't know martial arts at all. How can he teach him?
Forget it, don't ask around, it's just a girl, it won't make a big difference.
However, the emperor still agreed with the statement of accepting good advice. He calmed down and asked again: "Haha, tell me, that long worm...oh no, it's that big shot. How can he not know how to count?"
Already?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xiaotong became angry. She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "That damn old man, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, only allocated 200,000 shi of grain to Qiongzhou.
This is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth. That long worm is really confused, he can't even count, he just slaps his forehead and approves! What do you think he doesn't know how to count? "
The emperor looked confused and said curiously: "Two hundred thousand shi is already a lot of food, how can it be said that it is stuffed between the teeth?"
"Don't believe it? Let me do the math for you! There are more than 300,000 people in Qiongzhou. If they share the 200,000 shi of grain, each person can only carry less than 40 kilograms! Do you think it is enough to eat just this small amount?
?" Qi Xiaotong said it casually without thinking.
Hmm? This girl is also good at arithmetic?
Haha, I almost forgot, his father Qi Yu is a mathematician.
Well, the professor is good!
To be honest, I really didn't calculate the average carefully, and I was indeed negligent.
It's not too late to mend the situation after it has been lost.
Tomorrow I will go to the Minister of Household Affairs to discuss and ask him to allocate more grain to Qi Yu to alleviate the predicament.
The emperor nodded sincerely, indicating that he was taught, and then encouraged: "In addition to not knowing how to count, does that person have anything else?"
"Yes!" Xiaotong still refused to give up, and seemed to be unwilling to complain, and said: "I can't praise his literary and political skills. Compared with the late emperor, he is far behind."
Eight feet away? How far is that?
Also, why do you say that?
Seeing the emperor's confused look, Xiaotong explained: "I think back then, when the locust plague broke out in Yongchuan Prefecture, the late emperor not only issued an imperial edict to punish oneself, but also exempted three years of taxes in the disaster area. Look at this stingy road again
Changchong, he just acted like he cared about it, but he didn’t mention a word about the tax exemption! From this point of view, he is far less wise than the late emperor. But this will be a pain for my father..."
This remark was a complaint Luo Yuan once made, but it was quoted by Xiaotong at this time.
The emperor frowned and sighed secretly: I also want to avoid it, but the treasury...
Forget it, now that this girl has spoken, I will be generous and exempt Qiongzhou from taxes for three years.
Qi Yu never dreamed that his daughter would help him unintentionally.
This is tax-free for three years!
For the barren Qiongzhou Prefecture, it is definitely a timely help and a desperate opportunity.
While the emperor was secretly praising his sage, a woman's angry voice suddenly came to his ears: "You are such a scoundrel! How dare you bully my children!"
Huh? What kind of deceitful person?
Are you talking about me?
It seems like...
The emperor's face froze, and he felt as if a flock of crows were flying by his ears~~
