Rebirth: Lie down with the system

Shi Qing, who was holding the banknote, was also very happy. Finally, he no longer had to sit back and wait for nothing.

He took out his belt and left the palace.

After returning home, Shi Jing and the others were still studying in the general's mansion.

Knowing that they went home to eat every day, Shi Qing prepared a table of meals waiting for them.

When the three people came back, smelling the different aroma of rice, they immediately ran inside happily. They also missed Shi Qing, but Shi Qing was not here, and they felt that their organization was missing a soul!

Seeing Shi Qing with their own eyes, the three of them had big smiles on their faces.

Seeing that their faces were stained with sweat, they hurriedly said, "Go wash your face quickly, the food is ready for you!"

Several people immediately went to wash up quickly, and their actions became faster and faster. It seemed that the old general was leading the troops very thoroughly!

Knowing that these people were consuming a lot every day, Shi Qing ordered some meat dishes from the system to supplement their protein.

The three of them came out and saw a table of delicious food. They immediately sat down and screamed, looking at the food with salivating expressions.

"Okay, stop looking and let's eat!"

While eating, Shi Qing also handed over part of the banknotes to the three of them, asking them to plan for themselves, whether to save it or use it for themselves. The only thing is not to be extravagant and wasteful!

In fact, the expenses of the three of them were not large. They did not have luxurious habits, and they did not have time to play with the old general. However, they still accepted Shiqing's banknotes obediently and nodded in agreement.

After all, this has been the case since childhood.

After eating, Shi Qing explained some more before returning to the palace under the eyes of the three people.

In Yuqing Pavilion...

A child was sitting blankly in the pavilion, looking at the food on the stone table without moving his chopsticks.

This child is none other than Ali.

After practicing in the formation all morning, Yan Yan still hadn't come back when he finished.

He really disliked Yanyan leaving him alone, and he was afraid that the person who gave him warmth would disappear.

He likes this beautiful brother.

Not only does Yan Yan not dislike him at all, nor does she beat him, Yan Yan also feeds him delicious cakes, gives him a bath and wears new clothes, and teaches him how to write and practice.

Now as soon as Yan Yan leaves, he feels that his body is slowly getting colder...

He buried his head in his arms.

Why leave?

Do you have to leave?

Can't you bring him with you?

When Shi Qing entered Yuqing Pavilion, he saw that the food he had warmed on the stone table had not been touched and was now completely cold, while Ali was sleeping on the stone table.

tired?

Just when Shi Qing was about to take people back to the room to rest, Ali raised his face.

His eyes were red and moist, and his face was red.

what happened?

Why are you still crying?

Why did the person who looked like a ferocious beast at the beginning turn into a little crybaby now?

Shi Qing never had a chance to get along with a child in his previous life, and he was the youngest in this life. Now seeing him crying, his eyes were red. After seeing him, Ali's tears fell even more, and Shi Qing suddenly felt a little confused. Take measures.

He quickly took a few steps forward, "What? What happened?"

Ali looked at the person who appeared in front of him with tears in his eyes. He suddenly felt aggrieved. He hugged Shi Qing's waist and buried his face in his stomach, sobbing silently.

Shi Qing was confused.

He had arranged a formation in Yuqing Pavilion so that ordinary people could not enter.

Why is Ali crying so sadly?

When Shi Qing asked him, he didn't say anything, and just looked at him with red eyes and aggrieved face.

Shi Qing belatedly discovered Ali's accusation against him, and he cautiously said tentatively.

"Did I offend you?"

Ali...

"Because of what?"

Ali...

"You're talking, how can I know if you don't tell me?" Shi Qing helplessly raised his forehead in front of Ali like this.

"Next time you want to leave, don't leave me alone, I'm afraid..."

Shi Qing thought that the child was too timid to be alone, and kept sighing.

"When we first met, how brave were you? You dared to travel so far to steal my braised pork. Now you are scared alone~"

"Okay, go wash your face and I'll heat up the food for you. Ah Li, I'm not telling you, you can't mess around with your body at any time. Look, I've prepared the food for you and you won't eat it. , maybe you won’t be afraid when you’re full~”

Shi Qing said that his hands were also moving, and when he turned around and saw Ali still stunned, he immediately pushed him.

"Hurry up, let's continue practicing after dinner, don't be lazy!"

Watching him finish his meal, Shi Qing didn't force him to practice right away. In his previous life, he had heard that children were easily tired of studying and had to combine work and rest, so they took a nap before continuing to practice.

The child's emotions came and went quickly. When he woke up from a nap, Ali was smiling again.

Every day that followed, I practiced the Qigong method very hard and cooperatively.

The cultivation of single spiritual roots indeed progresses faster than the time clearing of five spiritual roots.

In just a few days, Ali has reached the second level of Qi Refining.

Shi Qing didn't dare to relax under the pressure from Hou Lang, for fear that he would be outdone by Ali in the near future, so where would he put his old face!

For three months, the two of them studied and practiced diligently in Yuqing Pavilion, except for Murong Lin coming to give him money once a month.

Murong Lin's auction outside was a success, and with his business acumen, he also made a lot of private money. He made nearly half a million taels of silver for the emperor, and of course Shi Qing also got a lot of it. The profit Murong Lin took for himself also made his father, King Yongchang, jealous.

On this day, Shi Qing was rearranging the formation, and Ali took the opportunity to eat when Deshun's voice came from outside the door.

"Young Master Yan, the Fourth Prince, has been summoned by His Majesty in the Imperial Study!"

The two looked at each other, Shi Qing put down the spirit stone in his hand, and A Li also put down the bowl and chopsticks.

During this period, they were practicing in Yuqing Pavilion, and His Majesty also knew about it, so no one except Murong Lin came to disturb them during this period. Why did he suddenly come to see them together.

Although they were confused, the two of them immediately changed their clothes and went to the imperial study room.

At this time, the imperial study room was full of people, and the voices of many ministers discussing could be heard.

After Deshun went in to pass the news, the two of them entered the royal study.

Among a group of people with boot-leather faces, two energetic young men suddenly walked in, causing all the chattering ministers to shut up.

They didn't understand why the two children were here when they were discussing government affairs.

Shi Qing and Li saluted the emperor.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Get up quickly! Someone, give me a seat!"

The standing ministers all looked at each other in confusion, wondering what His Majesty's intention was in summoning these two people, but judging from His Majesty's attitude, these two people's status in His Majesty's heart is not low~

Shi Qing sat down calmly under the gaze of the ministers.

"Why did Your Majesty summon Shiqing here?"

"Shi Qing has been busy practicing recently but forgot about the high-yielding potatoes you gave me?"

The emperor reminded him with one sentence.

Shi Qing really forgot that potatoes should be harvested now after three months!

Looking at His Majesty’s face full of smiles

Shi Qing said, "Looking at His Majesty smiling so happily, it seems that the potatoes have gained a lot!"

The emperor laughed heartily. The harvest was not only good, it was far beyond their expectations.

Although Shi Qing said at that time that one acre could produce up to 10,000 catties, they didn't believe it in their hearts. They would be very excited to have 5,000 catties.

Now the potatoes in Huangzhuang have been harvested, and the result is twelve thousand catties per acre, which is far beyond their imagination.

This movement also caused ministers from all over the court to flock here, all wanting these high-yielding seeds. The noise here gave him a headache.

"The harvest is indeed good, twelve thousand jins per acre. I came to you just for the seeds. The original 25 jins of seeds were planted on acres of land. I plan to distribute these seeds to the people for planting, so that we can still Let’s plant another batch before the new year!”

Shiqing frowned.

"Your Majesty, you said at that time that the best time to plant potatoes is in spring and autumn. Now that the weather is getting colder, it is no longer suitable for potato planting. We can only wait until next spring!"

Murong He also remembered what Shi Qing said at that time, hey, he just saw that the potato yield was high, so he wanted to quickly let the people grow it so that they could fill their stomachs.

"Yes, yes, I am already dizzy with joy."

"My lords, you have also heard that the current weather is not suitable for planting. This matter will be discussed later."

After speaking, he looked at the two people sitting below.

"Now I want to announce something. Due to the negligence of servants six years ago, Han Huixin, the daughter of the Han family, gave birth to a son in the cold palace. A few days ago, Han Huixin was found dead in the cold palace, leaving behind the fourth prince Murong Li. The Qintian Supervisor has calculated Ten days from now will be an auspicious day, so the Ministry of Rites will prepare the Royal Jade Butterfly!"

As soon as the words fell, the ministers immediately started talking.

The Han family is really good at giving birth to a prince even in the cold palace. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives!

The sound was noisy, and the face of the emperor sitting on the throne was getting more and more ugly. No one wanted to be discussed, and it was still discussed in front of him.

He clapped his big hand, and the pen on the desk rose into the air. The loud sound immediately silenced the ministers below.

"This is a royal matter. There is no need to mention this matter again! You all stand down! Shiqing, you stay!"

Seeing His Majesty's anger, the ministers all filed out.

Shi Qing also motioned to Ali to wait for him outside and not to hang around in front of His Majesty.

Murong He was so angry that he took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. These people had no other skills, but they were very enthusiastic about gossip!

"If your mind is not disturbed, nothing will disturb you. If your mind is not disturbed, nothing will disturb you. Your Majesty is at the highest level and is not afraid of clouds covering his eyes, so why bother?"

"Shi Qing is right, I'm in love!"

"Your Majesty, does Shiqing have something to tell me?"

After being relieved, Murong He's anger also dissipated, and he smiled kindly at Shi Qing and said, "You have done a lot for the high-yield grain and auction matters. It can be said that you have saved thousands of people. I originally planned to let you enter the court." As an official, I also know that you have no intention of doing this, but for the welfare of the people of the world, I hope that you can serve as the national advisor."

Before Shi Qing could refuse, the emperor said again, "Shi Qing, please listen to me first. This position of national preceptor has always been available, but it has been empty since the founding of Ningyuan. I know that you are still young and have no intention of joining the imperial court. The teacher's responsibilities are the same as those of you as a practitioner. You are responsible for the common people in the world. You don't need to attend court meetings and interfere in government affairs on weekdays. You only lend a helping hand when the country and the people are endangered. I made this decision after careful consideration. I hope you will Can make the same decision!”

Shi Qing was not a real child, and he knew very well the emperor's purpose in letting him serve as a national advisor.

It was nothing more than tying him to the Murong family as a national master. Now with the exposure of high-yielding grains and hugely profitable auctions, he would definitely be noticed by the family. The emperor's move not only made him understand, but also Let other aristocratic families understand that their Murong family attaches great importance to him, and avoid other aristocratic families trying to win over him.

At the same time, he also uses his position as a national teacher to limit and regulate his behavior so as not to harm the interests of the country and the people.

Although it is all about saving the common people, once he becomes the national advisor, he will have to save people no matter what time and under any circumstances. By then, he will have no choice at all...

Shi Qing understood in his heart and looked at Murong He calmly.

"Your Majesty also said that Shi Qing is still young and uncertain, and may not be able to hold a big position. Since I regard the people of the world as my own responsibility, I will not stand idly by, so why should I care about whether to serve as a national advisor."

"Furthermore, if the courtiers know that Your Majesty has appointed a nine-year-old as a national counselor, I'm afraid it will cause another quarrel and give Your Majesty a headache."

After Shi Qing finished speaking, he looked at His Majesty. Murong He was not annoyed by his rejection. Instead, he pointed at him with a smile and said, "You, you, rejected my kindness. I have to thank you for considering me!"

"At that time, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your support!"

"Okay, just go back first! Let's discuss this later when we have a chance!"

"Yes, Shiqing is resigning!"

When Shi Qing came out of the imperial study room, he saw A Li waiting for him. He looked back at Murong He who was still sitting in front of the imperial desk and curled his lips.

They are all old foxes!

From Murong He's reaction, Shi Qing knew what he was thinking.

Logically speaking, Murong He, a generation of emperors, would never look good after being rejected, but he was not the same. He could still smile at him, which showed that he had already expected his rejection in his heart, and at the same time, it was also in Murong He's heart. wish.

It is unbelievable for an emperor to let a nine-year-old child serve as a national advisor. People in the world will definitely talk about it and think that His Majesty's behavior is ridiculous, which will cause the courtiers to object in unison.

But why would Murong He say this?

Yes, it is saying, not doing, there is a big difference.

Moreover, this statement was made in front of him alone. It seemed to be discussing with him, but in fact it was to avoid others.

Murong He's purpose is actually very simple, which is to win over him and let him understand that His Majesty is willing to treat you as a national teacher and value you, but you have rejected His Majesty's kindness!

This made him feel guilty and brought him closer to the Murong family.

It seems that food and money had a great impact on Murong He~

He didn't have much ambition in the first place, so even if he saw through Murong He's thoughts, he didn't want to argue. It would be better for both parties to just go with the flow and follow his wishes!

He held Ali's hand and returned to Yuqing Pavilion in a good or bad mood.

He and A Li have made great progress in practicing recently. He and A Li have made great progress, especially A Li. The cultivation speed of Shanlinggen is far beyond what he can match. Now A Li has reached the sixth level of Qi refining.

It’s time to take a break between work and rest~

"A Li, let's go see Sister Shi Jing and the others together tomorrow! Do you miss them?"

"I want~ let's go together!"
