Time flies like an arrow, and two months have passed by in a blink of an eye.
During this time, two major events occurred.
The first is diplomatic. The emperor issued an imperial edict and named a certain leader of Donglu as 'Tiancong Khan'. At the same time, an official document was sent to Tatar and Wala to inform them.
The second thing is about domestic affairs. It is said that Zhong Yi, the chief minister of the cabinet, was accused of begging for bones for the third time, but he was still retained by the emperor. After three things, the matter was settled.
In fact, in addition to these two major events, there is another thing that attracts attention but cannot be stated clearly, and that is about the previous mobilization of war horses. However, the court did not provide any explanation for this, so no one knew what was going on.
Let’s talk about the two big news we know first.
In turn.
Donglu has always been a large and mysterious tribe. In the capital, there are very few rumors about them. In the eyes of most people, it is not even clear where they are located.
Now, this 'unknown' passerby suddenly became a guest of the Holy Emperor, and was made a khan by the emperor. This sense of disparity is really unexpected.
How to evaluate it?
In this regard, Mr. Wu Wanrong took the lead in giving a wonderful praise: My emperor has extended kindness to the sea and treated the barbarians and Di kindly. This kind of magnanimity is comparable to that of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han!
Um?
Is this metaphor appropriate?
You know, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the one who beat the barbarians to the point where they were all looking for teeth!
After everyone laughed and laughed for a while, the original novelty was lost.
Yes, the Donglu people are too far away. How can the retention of Zhong Yi's chief assistant be more concerning?
This is the real big news.
What is the first assistant?
That was the political center of one person and more than ten thousand people. He was the person who actually managed the country for the emperor. Among the many ministers with real power, he was the only one in chief.
Now that Zhong Yi has been retained, who doesn't pay attention to such important events?
So, it was hotly discussed.
Behind this heated discussion, there is also a puzzling question hidden, that is, why did the emperor, who had always intended to replace the elders of the three dynasties, do the opposite this time?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Therefore, some people speculate that the emperor must have his own special plan. As for what exactly it is, it remains to be further observed.
Let’s continue talking about Mr. Zhong Shoufu.
After he was retained in office, he held a grand banquet the next day, inviting his colleagues of third grade and above to share his "Sunset Red" joy. Qi Yu, as a special invitee, was honored to attend this feast.
The bright red wedding invitation was very dazzling, and Qi Dalang had to spend some money.
I have to say that this feast was really lively. Not only were they entertained with good wine and food, but a troupe of opera singers were also invited.
The atmosphere at the scene was also very good. There was a lot of drinking and drinking, and all the officials, big and small, were drunk.
With a son-in-law and half a son, Yin Jun is half the master's family, so he naturally has to run back and forth to take care of his father-in-law.
This time, the old chief assistant no longer kept a low profile, but started to toast back and forth. Yin Jun followed closely behind, busy pouring wine and serving glasses.
"This is my son-in-law Yin Jun. I hope you will take care of me..."
"..."
What does this mean?
Haha, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely understand the profound meaning.
Overall, it was a festive and happy day, but unexpectedly, after the banquet, bad news came.
What's going on?
It is said that the deputy minister of the cabinet, who was in his prime, had a few too many drinks because he was in a "very good mood" today, and suffered a stroke after returning home. Although timely treatment saved his life, he suffered from hemiplegia.
In short, he is useless.
Without even thinking about it, he can withdraw early from the next competition for first assistant.
After being shocked to learn about this incident, Chief Minister Zhong sent his son-in-law Yin Jun to visit on his behalf to express his concern. At the same time, he also wrote a handwritten letter to inform his second assistant, asking him to rest at home and recuperate, and not to worry about matters in court.
Afterwards, the emperor also made a gesture of condolences, and ordered the eunuch Sandezi to bring ginseng, deer antler, and other great tonics to Lord Cifu, and told him orally: Since you are suffering from Erzhu, then It’s better to retire early!
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Master Cifu's condition suddenly worsened again.
Since these things had nothing to do with him, Qi Yu didn't pay much attention to them and just laughed them off.
I still have things to do, so how can I just sit back and worry about it?
Taking advantage of this period of free time, Qi Yu hurriedly worked on the manuscript overnight, and finally completed "The Fighting Swordsman in the Wind".
On the day when the manuscript was submitted, Xiong Da still fulfilled his promise and paid all the royalties to Qi Yu.
Qi Dalang did the math. Although the book was interrupted in the middle, he still made thousands of taels of silver. He should be satisfied.
The human heart is not enough but a snake swallows an elephant. Only when one is content can one be happy.
Xiong Da expressed regret for Qi Yu's decision to close the pen, but he also understood it.
As far as the current market is concerned, it can be said that it is overrun. Those depressed and frustrated old scholars and old officials have all joined the list of publishing books. In terms of price, it is not even one-third of the previous price. one.
Qi Yu chose to forge ahead bravely, which can be considered a wise move. At least it can leave a good reputation.
Regret?
No regrets!
The rules of the market are always constant, and only those who are at the forefront can earn the so-called first pot of gold.
This is the real reason why he closed his book.
However, Qi Yu still made a big deal for the disappointed Xiong Da. He said that there will be opportunities to continue cooperation in the future, but it is just the beginning and not the end.
It’s weird to believe you!
Under Xiong Da's highly questioning gaze, Qi Yu picked up the money and left happily.
On the second day after sealing the pen, unexpectedly, we met again at a drinking party.
Someone has said that to be a qualified official, one must be able to withstand the 'alcohol test'.
Therefore, cannot refuse.
Who are you drinking with this time?
Old friend - Harry.
At present, Zuo Zhengyi, who was granted the imperial title, has returned to the court according to the order, and the emperor also received him personally in recognition of his merits. In addition, he also rewarded him with a pot of imperial wine as a show of grace.
Then, the emperor announced a new mission, that is, not to go south in the future to liberate those stubborn Japanese pirate prisoners.
this……
After receiving this new job, Harry felt like his head was getting bigger.
why?
I can’t figure it out!
Although I claim to be a master of China, it does not mean that I am a master of Fusang. Who can understand the jabbering Fusang dialect?
If you don't even understand the language, how can you talk about being educated?
Also, why does it feel like something is wrong?
I have been busy at Qilu Taishan for more than half a year. Apart from earning some salary, I don't seem to have achieved any academic achievements.
Now, the emperor summoned him here with an imperial edict. Wouldn't Shandong's efforts be in vain?
However, he couldn't refuse.
Zuo Zhengyi is an official of the imperial court. Wherever the emperor says you are needed, you have to go.
Hua Xia Tong still understands this truth.
Don’t worry anymore, let’s think more about how to deal with Japanese pirates.
Harry was really thinking hard about this unsolvable problem, but he couldn't think of a solution.
Just when he was feeling desperate, something suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of someone.
who?
Naturally, it is Lord Qi Yuqi who is profound in the Taoist profession.
Why not ask him?
