On this day, since the fall of the court, Gao Lishi has been cautious and cautious, and cautious and cautious.
Because ever since His Majesty and King Taihe talked alone in the side hall after going to court, His Majesty's face has become terrifyingly gloomy.
He must be careful to avoid being angered by His Majesty.
It wasn't until he entered the Zihuan Palace and waved all the palace people to leave that Zhao Yu's long-suppressed anger finally burst out.
"You bastard, this old man is so shameless and he bullied me too much!"
Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
Veins appeared on his neck.
He really didn't expect that this Huang Jingming would be so shameless that he would ask him to marry his daughter with the courtesy of a queen before leaving for the war!
The tacit understanding that the two parties had reached long ago was thrown out of the window by this shameless old thief.
If he, Zhao Yu, brought that Huang Zixin into the palace with the gift of a queen, how would both the court and the public think about it?
Those ministers who knew the situation might not say anything, but the people's material discussions were beyond the power of an emperor who had not yet mastered all power to stop them.
People don't care so much. They only believe what they see with their eyes and hear with their ears.
Your Majesty brought the beloved daughter of Taihe Wang into the palace with the gift of a queen. So if she is not a queen, what else can she be?
In the decades that we have lived, we have never heard of anyone receiving an imperial concubine with the courtesy of a queen.
Don’t worry, even if it’s not the case now, with the support of King Taihe who is the head of the country, it will be the case in the future...
When he thought that people would talk like this, Zhao Yu felt even more angry. He subconsciously clenched his fists, not even noticing that his nails were deeply embedded in his palms.
Never before at this moment did he feel so disgusted with Huang Zixin, who he had never met before and was about to become the imperial concubine.
Needless to say, this must be the claw that the old thief extended into the palace!
The angry Zhao Yu glanced at the celadon cup on the coffee table, picked it up and threw it to the ground.
Snapped!
The fine celadon cup was smashed into pieces by him, but Zhao Yu had no regrets at all.
Seeing Zhao Yu who had never been so out of his mind, Gao Lishi, who was hunched over and guarding outside the palace gate, lowered his head like a frightened chicken, hiding in the corner and not daring to come out. He could only faintly hear His Majesty. In the temple, they kept saying "Fake", "Sissel", and "Sweet".
Although he didn't know which dialect His Majesty spoke, Gao Lishi also understood that these words coming from His Majesty's mouth were not necessarily good words.
When His Majesty's anger subsides, let's try to persuade His Majesty again...
Gao Lishi thought so.
"Rikishi!"
At this moment, Zhao Yu's slightly tired voice came from the palace.
"The slave is here!"
Hearing Zhao Yu's voice, Gao Lishi became energetic and hurriedly entered the hall.
"Ask the palace people to clean the Zihuan Palace. I'm a little tired, so I won't be reviewing the memorials in the west wing today. I'll go back to Funing Palace to rest."
Zhao Yu ordered lightly.
"Yes." Gao Lishi nodded in agreement. However, when his eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhao Yu's hands, his expression suddenly changed and he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, your hands..."
Zhao Yu looked down and found that his palms were filled with dripping blood.
If it weren't for Gao Lishi's reminder, I would still be completely unaware.
Gao Lishi on the side was panicked.
"Your Majesty, with this injury... please call the imperial doctor!"
As if feeling Gao Lishi's concerned gaze, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Although there are not many good people among the eunuchs, they are the most loyal to the emperor as they are attached to the imperial power.
"If it's a serious matter, call the imperial doctor." Zhao Yu used his power to stop the bleeding and curled his lips and said, "You can ask someone to find a piece of clean white gauze and a bottle of strong wine. I can use it myself."
Alcohol disinfection is a common thing for Zhao Yu, but in this era, even though there are various magical skills that can stop bleeding and relieve pain, the alcohol disinfection method is still something new and unheard of.
Not long after, Gao Lishi left and returned, holding a white cloth and a bottle of royal wine in his hands.
After opening the bottle cap and smelling the pungent smell of wine, Zhao Yu showed a satisfied look.
This degree is just right.
Gao Lishi on the side watched Zhao Yu pour some strong wine on the wound that had stopped the bleeding, and then wrapped it tightly with gauze. There was a look of thought in his eyes. He hesitated for a while, and then asked tentatively:
"Your Majesty, can this method be implemented in the military?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Lishi, who was a little uneasy, and smiled and cursed:
"You, Gao Lishi, have a good eye! However, if you want to implement this method, you must use strong alcohol. With ordinary alcohol, not to mention saving people, it is almost harmful! But, this strong alcohol The production, not to mention our great Chu, is not much in other countries every year. If you really have this idea, you might as well think about how to increase the production of this strong liquor."
In this era, distilled liquor has not yet been invented, and it is impossible to produce too much high-concentration liquor.
Most of the high-strength liquor brewed became tribute wine sent to the palace, while a small part became fine wines favored by wealthy families, and very few of them ended up on the market.
This number is simply a drop in the bucket for the countless wounded who fought together.
"Even if I try to break my slave's head, I can't think of such a thing... However, if there are Mohist disciples who serve as officials in the court in the future, they may be able to make such brewing equipment."
Hearing what Zhao Yu said, Gao Lishi suddenly showed a bitter look on his face.
What he has learned since elementary school is how to observe people's emotions, take care of his master's affairs, and ask him to make inventions and creations. This is simply more difficult than killing him.
Seeing Gao Lishi's "Your Majesty, this old slave can't do it" look, Zhao Yu was instantly amused, and the depression and anger in his heart also dissipated a lot.
"The Mo family...it is indeed a way. Lishi, you can send a message to Shi A and ask him to pay more attention to me."
If you can find some Mohist disciples, maybe some of your ideas can be realized.
"Yes, this slave accepts the order." Gao Lishi nodded in agreement.
After relaxing his fingers and seeing that most of the pain had disappeared, Zhao Yu walked to the imperial desk and took out a writing brush from the pen holder.
"Strong warrior, grind it for me. I will issue an edict."
When he said this, Zhao Yupo gritted his teeth.
But now the situation is stronger than people, and this time Zhao Yu has to hold his nose and admit it.
Seeing this, Gao Lishi hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, flattened a blank edict in front of Zhao Yu, then took out a piece of ink stick from the drawer on the side of the imperial case, and carefully rubbed it in circles in the inkstone. .
The commonly used ink sticks in the palace are fine oil fume ink. Because of its hard and shiny texture, dark and moisturizing effect, it does not glue when you lick the pen, and does not blur when put on the paper. It is a must-have for literati and calligraphers when writing and painting, so it is often used as a tribute. Sent to the palace.
Not long after, an edict came from the palace.
On the fifth day of the tenth month of the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Huangfeng of the Great Chu Dynasty, His Majesty issued an edict to accept the daughter of King Taihe as the imperial concubine, and the etiquette used was determined to be that of a queen.
As soon as this edict was issued, Shenjing was shaken, and the government and the public were talking about it.
