Intuition feels that this should be a person with an indifferent temperament.
But when Jiang Wang looked over, the man turned his head and smiled brightly. He didn't seem to have the character to stay away from strangers.
Jiang Wang smiled and nodded in greeting.
To the right of Ji Zhaonan, standing are the three people competing for the spot in the outer building.
From front to back, they are Bao Bozhao, Xie Baoshu and Chaoyu.
Among them, Bao Bozhao is an acquaintance, and he is much older than his younger brother Bao Zhongqing.
Xie Baoshu just met... I don’t think I should mention it.
Chao Yu, the general who was born in the Winter Silence Army, was a woman, which Jiang Wang did not expect, because the name did not sound feminine at all.
The medium-long hair is tied into a braid and hangs straight down the back of the head. The face is somewhat neutral.
Above the Dan Majesty, sat the emperor and empress of Da Qi.
The position of the wind chair is slightly lower than that of the dragon chair.
Further down, go over a few steps.
This is the position of princes and princesses.
There are not many princes and princesses who can attend such an occasion.
Prince Jiang Wuhua, Huaying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou, Yangxin Palace Master Jiang Wuxie, and Changsheng Palace Master Jiang Wuqi, a total of four people.
Jiang Wuhua sits on the upper left hand, and Jiang Wuyou, as the eldest sister, sits on the upper right hand.
Behind the two of them, Jiang Wuxie and Jiang Wuqi sat respectively.
Jiang Wuhua was wearing the prince's normal clothes and sitting upright.
Jiang Wuyou was wearing a frost-colored military uniform. He was looking at the people in the square with his head tilted.
Jiang Wuxie was casually dressed in brocade clothes, with the most relaxed demeanor and a smile on her lips. From time to time she would pick up a snow pattern fruit (a fruit as big as a grape, with thin skin reflecting snow, sweet taste and cold texture) from the fruit plate in front of her.
Stuff it into your mouth. If you are not in front of the emperor, don't be too unrestrained. This may cause a beautiful woman to pinch your shoulders and beat your legs.
Jiang Wuqi was wrapped in a white fox fur, with a smile on his pale face, and his sitting posture was very upright.
Except for Jiang Wuhua, the three palace masters all did not wear the ceremonial attire. Compared with the prince's ceremonial attire, their ceremonial attire was undoubtedly one level lower than that of the prince. They wore it as if to remind others.
.
They are all deliberately downplaying this gap.
I can’t say whether Jiang Wuhua is deliberately strengthening this gap.
Anyway, he always wears the right clothes for any occasion. Today, in this "Master's Ceremony", it is very reasonable to wear the prince's regular clothes.
Before the time has come, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are sprinkling pure water on the square. This is to wash away the dirt and eliminate hidden dangers, so as to ensure the fairness of the subsequent military competition.
Emperor Da Qi suddenly spoke: "Wu Qi, come here and talk."
Jiang Wuhua was smiling, Jiang Wuyou was still looking at the genius in the square, and Jiang Wuxie continued to eat the snow pattern fruit. It seemed that he didn't even hear the sound.
Jiang Wuqi stood up and left the table, walked up a few steps without haste, walked to the throne of the Emperor of Qi, and said politely: "Father."
He also saluted the Queen of Daqi next to him: "Mother."
The Emperor of Da Qi had nine daughters and seventeen sons. In addition to the crown prince Jiang Wuhua, there were three others who were considered to have the qualifications to challenge the heir apparent.
But only Jiang Wuqi, at this moment, was called by his side to talk. This shows that he is particularly doted on.
Empress He smiled and nodded in response.
Except for the eunuchs and maids who were standing in attendance, all those above the Dan Majesty at this time were members of the royal family.
The Emperor of Da Qi also acted very casually: "Let me ask you, the 'Grand Master's Ceremony' is held in front of the Ancestral Temple to determine the country's genius. This is a meeting of the strong. Why do you invite these old people who can't stand still?
And these ninety-nine households of ordinary people who have no cultivation?"
"Cough, cough." Jiang Wuqi stopped coughing and smiled calmly: "Most people in this world are ordinary people when they are born. Before they become gods, everyone will grow old one day.
These people invited by you, Father, are the beginning and the end. No matter where we go or where we stand, we should remember the way we came and the way we are going. This is true for people, and this is true for the country."
Emperor Da Qi was obviously very satisfied with this answer. He even reached out and gently stroked his back, saying slowly: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Wuqi replied softly: "It doesn't matter."
Emperor Daqi ordered again: "Bring a chair and let Xiao Shiyi sit down. He will not be tired."
Han Ling, the great eunuch wearing a red robe, personally delivered a chair cushioned with cloud velvet and placed it in front of the dragon chair on the right side.
Jiang Wuqi sat up with his knees propped up.
Queen He said from the side: "I have a very good dragon ginseng in my palace. It may be of some benefit to you. I will ask someone to send it to the Changsheng Palace later."
Jiang Wuqi did not refuse. He stood up and saluted respectfully: "My son, I thank you for your mother and queen's care."
Queen He smiled slightly and said nothing else.
When Jiang Wuqi sat down again, Emperor Daqi suddenly raised his voice with a narrow smile: "Hey, what are you looking at, Wuyou!"
The emperor is full of kindness and majesty, and rarely shows his emotions. Only this narrow smile at this moment seems to have temporarily pulled him down from the supreme throne, and gave him a little bit of the human reality of the role of a father.
Jiang Wuyou turned around and said with a grand smile: "Look at me, the great genius of the Qi Dynasty, father!"
Emperor Da Qi raised his chin slightly to make himself look more serious: "What do you think about the question I just asked?"
Jiang Wuyou thought for a while and then said: "To make a country big, with billions of people and hundreds of thousands of cultivators, which one is the foundation? To make a country like a tall building, the cultivators will pull it up and the people will support its bottom. If there is no
The height is not enough to be proud of the world, and if there is no thickness, it is not enough to endure the years."
She originally wanted to use the tower as an example, but when the words came to her lips, she changed it to a building.
"Therefore, I believe that ordinary people are the foundation of the country, and practitioners are the backbone of the country. They are indispensable. That's why I, the Qi Dynasty, established criminal laws and set up green cards to arrest lawbreakers and hunt down miscreants! Let the people enjoy their work and the practitioners
Like a spike of rice seedlings, this is the merit of moral governance!"
After these powerful words fell, Queen He couldn't help but look at her twice.
Emperor Da Qi smiled: "She is my tiger girl!"
He looked at Jiang Wuxie who was still eating the snow pattern fruit: "Is it delicious?"
“There is a lack of water!” Jiang Wuxie said with a smile, “Father, you don’t need to ask, I will answer it myself.”
Perhaps because of his extravagant nature, he is the most relaxed and comfortable one among the princes and princesses.
He said with a smile: "Since the beginning of historical records, the source of vitality is the energy of living beings. Without the nourishment of living beings' energy, heaven and earth will not be enough to give birth to vitality. In today's world, the energy of living beings is the energy of people. If people's energy is insufficient, vitality will be lost.
Not enough. With the country’s system, popularity is the source of official power. This is the basis for countries to fight and plunder the population.”
He picked up the last snow pattern fruit and threw it into his mouth: "So we should put people first!"
Emperor Da Qi did not comment on whether he was good or bad. He only pointed his hand at him and said: "Prepare another plate of fruit with this guy. The water needs to be sufficient!"
A palace maid came with a jade plate.
The emperor looked at Jiang Wuhua for the last time and asked quietly: "What does the prince think?"
Jiang Wuhua stood up, bowed politely, and then said: "The emperor's brothers and sisters have spoken very well. I have nothing to add."
