Blessed Dynasty
Chapter 30
"What did you say?"
The emperor put down his teacup in embarrassment, and looked at Lin Xiang with disbelief.
"I mean, Mr. Qi Guangqi wants to see him."
Lin Xiang was not surprised by the emperor's reaction. He was even more surprised when he first heard the news, okay?No one knows Qi Lao's stubbornness better than him and the emperor.
...Because it was Mr. Qi who they went to see together at the beginning!
At that time, Mr. Qi refused categorically, without any euphemism. They had completely given up the idea of bringing Mr. Qi, a wild sage, into the court, but they never expected that just when they no longer had hope, Elder Qi actually came to see them on his own initiative?
The emperor was a little excited and anxious at the same time. He couldn't help looking at Lin Xiang and asked, "Why? Why would Mr. Qi want to see me?"
Although the emperor has become a skilled worker in approving memorials after years of practice, he still feels a little timid in the face of this highly respected man.
Lin Xiang rolled his eyes inwardly, and asked him how he knew. He hadn't seen Qi Guang, but although he didn't know, he still had some guesses in his heart.
It's all about recent changes.
Whether it was the heavy rain five years ago and the later improved species, or the newly built North-South Tianlu that was officially put into use, it is a shocking miracle. If the Dajin eight years ago was a crumbling shell, the current The Great Jin Dynasty is the rising sun that is becoming more and more prosperous, and it will be like the sun in the sky as long as time passes.
Old Qi just looked down on the Great Jin, not the common people. When he found that the court was getting better and better and could be relied on, how could he not be tempted?
So here it comes.
But this is just a guess. In fact, both of them are not sure why Mr. Qi came, so facing Mr. Qi, the two discussed it for a long time in the Palace of Political Affairs, and made several plans of one, two, three, four, and considered all possibilities. After thinking about it all, he barely restrained his restless heart just now.
There is no way, you must know that the arrival of Qi Lao is not just a great sage, but Qi Lao himself is a living sign!
If Qi Lao can hold a post in Dajin, even if it is just an insignificant false title, it will cause an uproar among scholars.
This is much faster than letting Qian Xin open a path in Shilin by himself.
You know, according to the original plan, it will take at least ten years until Qian Xin has enough prestige and power to influence Shilin's thoughts.
After ten years, the emperor is still young and can afford to wait. Prime Minister Lin is not too old, so he can barely see it.
It took Qian Xin ten years to complete the journey. As long as Mr. Qi enters the imperial court, he doesn't need to worry about anything else. The prestige of Dajin in Shilin will automatically rise to the peak. If Mr. Qi agrees, as the chief examiner, If you want to get a scholar, then the imperial examination only takes minutes, and there is no need for a second year.
This is also the reason why the emperor and Lin are so cautious about old Qi.
Grab this one, it will be worth decades!
Therefore, we must keep Old Qi in Dajin, in the imperial city, and in the imperial court!
Of course, Mr. Qi didn't know that the emperor of Jin Dynasty and Prime Minister Lin were staring at him secretly, and even made several plans for himself. He was eating peaches in the post station in the capital!
Old man Qi is getting old, and his teeth are not very good. Originally, Qi Lao didn't like to eat those hard fruits that were acidic, but Qi Lao didn't plan to eat them when they were delivered by the post station.
But Qi Lao didn't eat it, Qian Xin still wanted to eat it!
Qi Lao was originally a great sage, and he was also a great sage who cared about the country and the people. Such a great sage rarely has a rich family fortune, and most of them have nothing to do. Qian Xin originally had a good life, but for the sake of the teacher, he gritted his teeth and struggled a few times For months, I didn't even eat a few fruits.
Suddenly seeing the free fruit at the post station, it is so big and round that it looks very juicy, how can Qian Xin bear it?
So I took a big peach, peeled it carefully, and prepared to eat it.
And before eating it yourself, of course you have to give it to the teacher first!
"Master, let's eat a peach."
Mr. Qi looked at the cuteness of the water, and it was delicious. The peaches exuded the unique fragrance of the fruit, and he couldn't help but shake his heart that he didn't want to eat.
What if it's delicious?
What if it's not sour?
So the words that were originally intended to refuse suddenly changed to, "Then bring it."
After receiving the peaches, Mr. Qi felt a little regretful. If one bite of such a big peach didn't taste good, what would we do with the rest?It is not a good teacher to frugally waste food in front of his apprentice.
But if you pick it up, let's eat it.
Mr. Qi hesitated and took a bite, but what he never expected was that he only thought that the peach would not taste bad, but he never expected that it would be so sweet?
But after taking a bite, the juice of the peaches overflowed his mouth, the sweet smell, and not a bit of sourness, Mr. Qi fell in love with the peaches he ate almost from the first bite.
To be honest, Mr. Qi's family background was extraordinary when he was young, but even then, he had never eaten such a delicious peach!
Elder Qi became a fan of the strength of the peaches, and Qian Xin on the other side also had a great time eating them, especially after eating a big peach, Elder Qi actually felt that his spirit was lifted up, I wonder if it was because the peaches were so good have eaten.
In the evening, another tangerine was brought up. He seemed to know that Mr. Qi had bad teeth, and the fruits he picked were all soft. After experiencing the peaches in the morning, Mr. Qi saw the big and orange mandarin. Don't hesitate to try it.
Then Mr. Qi couldn't help being stunned. He never expected that compared with peaches, tangerines are not far behind. The clear and moist sweet taste makes the tongue can't help but dance together.
Elder Qi couldn't bear it anymore, are the fruits in this Kyoto station so delicious?Even the tribute fruits from Jiangnan don't have such a taste.
He wanted to ask where the Jingdu post station got the goods. If he could find the source and transplant one or two small saplings back, wouldn't he be able to eat this delicious food every day?
"May I ask if you can tell me where the fruits of this station come from?"
Xiaoer at the inn had long been told that the person living in the upper room was a famous scholar named Qi Lao. Even though Xiaoer didn't read much and only knew two characters, it didn't prevent him from knowing that this person had How powerful.
So after hearing Elder Qi's question, Xiao Er replied very respectfully, "The fruits in your room are all approved by the palace alone. I don't know the specific source."
Elder Qi was a little disappointed, but immediately cheered up. Since he came out of the palace, the emperor in the palace must know. When the time comes, just ask the emperor, will he know?
Unexpectedly, after the North-South Heavenly Road, there will be another point in the palace that makes Qi Lao curious.
So on this day, the emperor and Prime Minister Lin made all the preparations, and when they were waiting for Elder Qi to ask them various questions, they never expected that the first sentence that Elder Qi spoke was to ask about fruit?
"The peaches and tangerines I ate at the post station are very delicious. I heard they came from the palace. Where did the fruit come as a tribute? Can you give me two young saplings?"
The emperor who had prepared a lot of words: "..."
Lin Xiang, who was ready to see the tricks, said: "..."
Wait, is there something wrong with this topic?What about the agreed-upon Nanbeitianlu Grain Production Increase Movable Type Printing and Calligraphy?
First ask what the hell is fruit?
Both the emperor and Prime Minister Lin were speechless, but looking at the curious old Qi, the emperor calmed down and replied, "There has been drought for the past few years, so I changed the imperial garden to the imperial vegetable garden, and now the food is plentiful , changed the Royal Vegetable Garden into the Royal Orchard, and the fruits Qi Lao ate were produced in the Royal Orchard."
Old Qi stared, never expecting that this fruit really came from the palace.
He didn't complain about the emperor's bumpkin growing vegetables in his royal garden. Old Qi was surprised.
"If Mr. Qi likes to eat, there are persimmon trees, apple trees and Sydney pear trees in the Royal Orchard. When spring and summer come, the cherries are also big and sweet. Mr. Qi can come and eat them anytime."
This is the emperor's trick, want to eat fruit?Of course you can, come on, stay in Kyoto, you can have as much fruit as you want!
Old Qi naturally knew what the emperor meant. He came here to investigate. If the emperor is reliable and the court is upright, of course he wants to stay and contribute. Now, let's investigate first.
"What is the purpose of the emperor helping the poor and the poor, cultivating good seeds, connecting the north and the south, and opening up the book road?"
The emperor was shocked, afraid that Elder Qi would say something else, such as some knowledge, and so on. He even made up for it for a few days, but now that Elder Qi has said what he is best at, the emperor is certainly right.
"It is my duty to help the poor and the poor. As the Son of Heaven, I shall seek the well-being of the people under my rule. If the people are short of food, I shall cultivate good seeds so that my people have food to eat. There will be no more starvation and no way for the people. I shall understand From the north to the south, build a brilliant road for the people. From then on, the people of the world can go to Beijing. The people are lack of wisdom. I should open the way of books, so that the people of the world can read and read. This is my duty, and I intend to make the country prosperous and strong. , the people live and work in peace and contentment."
Mr. Qi is almost seventy years old this year. No matter whether he is young, running around, or old, he has met many people, and his dealings with aristocratic families are even more extraordinary. Whether a person is hypocritical or sincere , Mr. Qi couldn't be more clear about whether he was telling the truth or a lie.
So Qi Lao knew that the emperor's words were absolutely true.
He really thought so.
Elder Qi suddenly didn't know what to say, haven't the previous emperors seen it?seen.
But which emperor, like this one, carried the people of Li on his shoulders?
Those emperors all stepped on the shoulders of the common people, drank the blood of the common people, and it was not enough, and they had to beat the bones and suck the marrow until they died. How can they be so... so stupid?
But it was such a foolish emperor that Mr. Qi couldn't say anything anymore.
"Then after the Great Jin Dynasty, what do you intend to do?"
This is about future planning.
The emperor was very excited at this time, he was familiar with this, and this problem had been included in several plans in the past few days. The Nanhe generation runs through the waters and builds a north-south canal. A granary in Jinzhong will be built in the central part. The plan is to cover hundreds of thousands of acres. As for books, movable type printing is already in preparation. It can start when the manpower is ready. , the price of books can be reduced by at least [-]%.”
Don't underestimate the price of [-]%, this is still under the condition that movable type printing is not fully popularized, if it is successful in Dajin, the price of books can be reduced to [-]%, or even lower.
The emperor talked eloquently, but Qi Lao who stood aside was already stunned.
God, he asked this question, only thinking about the emperor answering any plan, such as what to do within five years, what to do within ten years, but he never expected that the emperor had already thought of this?
canal?granary?Also, can the price of printed books be reduced like this?Could it be that the emperor is dreaming!
With such a big step, you really won't fall into the mud?
Old Qi was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his previous thoughts. The emperor seemed to be crazy. If it was true what the emperor said, then the entire Jin Dynasty would be over.
With the idea of still wishing the dynasty a good one, Elder Qi interrupted the emperor's free speech, and advised, "You can take one step at a time, and you must not be radical. You must know that every decision you make affects more than just you. I, and all the common people, I admit that the completion of the North-South Skyway is a miracle, and that new type of cement is a godsend, but the construction of the canal is different from this, there is no shortcut to the canal, it is only geographical Exploration is the problem, and one carelessness can lead to the overthrow of thousands of hectares of fertile land. What's more, although Jinzhong is vast, there are many forests. If hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land are to be reclaimed, hundreds of thousands of people must be displaced. Do not open it, and then the issue of books, you must pay more attention to the repetition of the aristocratic family, so don't take it lightly."
Old Qi's advice is of course reasonable. If there was no Linglong Mountain and River before, if anyone told him these things, they would blow their hair and call him crazy, but now...
The emperor and Lin Xiangqi showed a mysterious smile.
"Old Qi, I will naturally know this, why don't you follow me to take a look? You will know why."
The determination of the emperor and Prime Minister Lin made Qi Lao a little suspicious, but he couldn't figure it out. However, the first time he followed the emperor into the inner room, Qi Lao was dumbfounded.
what is that?
The shrunken version of the Great Jin Dynasty is all here, and the mountains and rivers are dotted with cities and towns. For a moment, Mr. Qi almost thought that his eyes were dazzled, so that he had hallucinations.
"This is Linglong Mountains and Rivers." The emperor brought Mr. Qi forward, pointing to one of them, "Of course we have considered Mr. Qi's question, but Mr. Qi, look, if it is here in Nanhe, it is connected to the branch of Shenjiang River. , and then get through here, the North-South Canal can be completed almost overnight. The problems of geography and Fengshui have been surveyed by my master, the old man in Longzhong. Get to work."
Looking at the place pointed by the emperor, Elder Qi couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart, that’s right, as long as this place is connected to this place, and there is a connection there, the north-south canal can be completed almost overnight, and there is no need to dig any big river channels, there are ready-made ones. , why didn't they think of it before?
"And here... Did Mr. Qi find out that the land here is very rich and fertile, and it is in the middle of the four towns. As long as the villages in the middle of this area are moved, and this not-so-fertile forest is razed, Then we can free up hundreds of thousands of acres of open land to reclaim farmland?"
Elder Qi looked at the place hidden in the middle of the four towns, and it was indeed so. If it came true, it would be a ready-made Jinzhong granary, and he would no longer be afraid of running out of food!
"There is also the issue of movable type printing. This will inevitably be resisted by the aristocratic family, but if you are willing to say a word for us, even the aristocratic family will not be able to block the desire to learn from the students all over the world."
Mr. Qi... Mr. Qi looked at the Linglong mountains and rivers that were close at hand, imagining the future that the emperor said, digging canals, Jinzhong granaries, the cost of studying for students in the world will not be so high, even ordinary people can pay for scholars... Qi Lao's eye sockets suddenly became moist.
For such a future, so what if he returned to the imperial court?
worth!
Besides, he originally wanted to contribute to this great Jin.
"Who built this exquisite mountain and river?"
With such uncanny workmanship, Elder Qi couldn't wait to meet this strange man, even if he didn't say anything, he could vaguely guess that it might be the old man from Longzhong, otherwise who would have such ability?
Qi Lao looked admiring, but the emperor and Lin Xiang were a little embarrassed.
What should I do, now tell this old man that this Linglong Mountain and River was made by my son, and it is not the eldest son who is about ten years old, but the younger son who is only five years old this year, will the old man Qi say that they are lying and then walk away?
But thinking about the tossing and tossing of my youngest son, maybe there will be something to toss about in the future. If you want to say that Linglong Mountains and Rivers are quite normal in Xiaofu's place.
Or... to be honest?
The emperor and Lin Xiang glanced at each other, and finally decided to tell the truth honestly. As for whether Mr. Qi believes it or not, well, if he can keep it, Mr. Qi will believe it.
"It was my family's Sanlang, King Fu."
Fu Wang?Old Qi blinked, not expecting this answer.
At the same time, I couldn't help thinking, who is this King Fu, I remember that the emperor seems to have no brothers, and his family Saburo, his family Saburo... Qi Lao was shocked.
Isn't his Saburo the one who was born five years ago when it rained heavily, and then he was directly blessed with the King of Fortune?
"If I remember correctly, King Fu looks like...five years old this year?"
The emperor and Lin Xiang touched their noses, "Exactly."
Elder Qi is out of anger at this time, do you think he is a three-year-old child?So easy to cheat!
The emperor was naturally aware of Old Qi's anger, and patiently comforted him, "And not only that, do you still remember the butterfly origami book? My son was the first to discover the folding method of this book."
By this time, the connection between Qian Xin and the imperial court can be exposed, "Not only is the butterfly origami book, but even the cement that makes the North-South Skyway is created by my son, and even the fruits you like to eat are all planted by Saburo .”
An exaggerated thing may be nonsense, but three or five exaggerated things are all placed on the head of a little doll, unless the emperor is out of his mind and is not afraid of blowing the cowhide, then the seemingly most absurd possibility, It could be the final truth.
Old Qi also calmed down after being angry. He didn't believe that a child could be so powerful, otherwise where would the adults have lived for decades?
But you have to believe what you hear and see what you see, so Mr. Qi said very calmly, "Then can you introduce me to His Royal Highness Fu Wang?"
The emperor and Lin Xiang glanced at each other, "Of course."
And what about His Royal Highness, the center of the topic at this time?
Little Li Fu didn't know that he was betrayed by his own father and Lin Xiang, and today was another day without class, and little Li Fu was wandering outside!
As for how to wave, of course it is climbing a tree!
Yes, ever since he found out that he couldn't even climb a mere fruit tree, Li Xiaofu held his breath in his heart and worked hard to exercise for a few days. After a few days of exercise, he himself Li Xiaofu, who had made great progress, came to challenge to climb fruit trees again!
huh huh huh huh!Big peach tree, here I come!
And the one who accompanied Li Xiaofu was of course the fat cub who was always inseparable!
To say that Fat Cub has a very wide heart, he completely forgets to eat but not to beat. After eating the dried fish that day, he completely forgot the pain of being smashed. Seeing the little master coming to the orchard, he still Dare to follow.
And it doesn't even move its position.
Little Li Fu was struggling to climb the tree beside him, and the little fat cub nestled under the tree and took a nap, very leisurely.
Little Li Fu rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, summed up the experience of the last failure, and then climbed up the tree.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, come on, five steps are coming soon.
But just when Xiao Li Fu was about to climb the fifth step, one of his feet was unsteady, and he fell down after swiping.
Little Li Fu didn't give up, so he tried again, this time it was even worse, he fell in three steps.
How could Little Li Fu believe in evil, so he tried again, but this time, the fruit tree finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he really couldn't bear to let Little Fuwa fall down, so he threw a fruit down.
Right in the head of the little fat cub.
The little chubby cub groaned when he was hit, opened his squinted eyes and looked left and right. When he found that it was another big peach, he was so angry that he went up and grabbed it.
Li Xiaofu watched the little chubby boy's performance awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed, and troubled the poor boy again.
The fruit originally meant for Little Fuwa was scratched and gnawed by the big cat, how could the fruit tree be reconciled, so Li Xiaofu was thinking in his heart whether to come back after practicing, the fruit tree crackled and dropped another bunch of fruits, and Li Xiaofu and Fat Cub buried himself upright.
Li Xiaofu: "..."
Fat Cub: "..."
The emperor, Prime Minister Lin and Elder Qi who just arrived not far away: "..."
Emperor: Is this what the son himself said about climbing trees and picking fruits by himself?He just said how his short legs could climb up...
Lin Xiang: So naive, it seems that there is less homework, when he finds time...
And Qi Lao: Is this the super powerful His Royal Highness Fu Wang?
→_→I always feel that I have been cheated, how can I break it?
The author has something to say: Mr. Qi: I can’t believe there is such a naive, lovely, lively and mischievous Daxian...
The emperor put down his teacup in embarrassment, and looked at Lin Xiang with disbelief.
"I mean, Mr. Qi Guangqi wants to see him."
Lin Xiang was not surprised by the emperor's reaction. He was even more surprised when he first heard the news, okay?No one knows Qi Lao's stubbornness better than him and the emperor.

As for books, movable type printing is already in preparation. It can start when the manpower is ready. , the price of books can be reduced by at least [-]%.”
Don't underestimate the price of [-]%, this is still under the condition that movable type printing is not fully popularized, if it is successful in Dajin, the price of books can be reduced to [-]%, or even lower.
The emperor talked eloquently, but Qi Lao who stood aside was already stunned.
God, he asked this question, only thinking about the emperor answering any plan, such as what to do within five years, what to do within ten years, but he never expected that the emperor had already thought of this?
canal?granary?Also, can the price of printed books be reduced like this?Could it be that the emperor is dreaming!
With such a big step, you really won't fall into the mud?
Old Qi was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his previous thoughts. The emperor seemed to be crazy. If it was true what the emperor said, then the entire Jin Dynasty would be over.
With the idea of still wishing the dynasty a good one, Elder Qi interrupted the emperor's free speech, and advised, "You can take one step at a time, and you must not be radical. You must know that every decision you make affects more than just you. I, and all the common people, I admit that the completion of the North-South Skyway is a miracle, and that new type of cement is a godsend, but the construction of the canal is different from this, there is no shortcut to the canal, it is only geographical Exploration is the problem, and one carelessness can lead to the overthrow of thousands of hectares of fertile land. What's more, although Jinzhong is vast, there are many forests. If hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land are to be reclaimed, hundreds of thousands of people must be displaced. Do not open it, and then the issue of books, you must pay more attention to the repetition of the aristocratic family, so don't take it lightly."
Old Qi's advice is of course reasonable. If there was no Linglong Mountain and River before, if anyone told him these things, they would blow their hair and call him crazy, but now...
The emperor and Lin Xiangqi showed a mysterious smile.
"Old Qi, I will naturally know this, why don't you follow me to take a look? You will know why."
The determination of the emperor and Prime Minister Lin made Qi Lao a little suspicious, but he couldn't figure it out. However, the first time he followed the emperor into the inner room, Qi Lao was dumbfounded.
what is that?
The shrunken version of the Great Jin Dynasty is all here, and the mountains and rivers are dotted with cities and towns. For a moment, Mr. Qi almost thought that his eyes were dazzled, so that he had hallucinations.
"This is Linglong Mountains and Rivers." The emperor brought Mr. Qi forward, pointing to one of them, "Of course we have considered Mr. Qi's question, but Mr. Qi, look, if it is here in Nanhe, it is connected to the branch of Shenjiang River. , and then get through here, the North-South Canal can be completed almost overnight. The problems of geography and Fengshui have been surveyed by my master, the old man in Longzhong. Get to work."
Looking at the place pointed by the emperor, Elder Qi couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart, that’s right, as long as this place is connected to this place, and there is a connection there, the north-south canal can be completed almost overnight, and there is no need to dig any big river channels, there are ready-made ones. , why didn't they think of it before?
"And here... Did Mr. Qi find out that the land here is very rich and fertile, and it is in the middle of the four towns. As long as the villages in the middle of this area are moved, and this not-so-fertile forest is razed, Then we can free up hundreds of thousands of acres of open land to reclaim farmland?"
Elder Qi looked at the place hidden in the middle of the four towns, and it was indeed so. If it came true, it would be a ready-made Jinzhong granary, and he would no longer be afraid of running out of food!
"There is also the issue of movable type printing. This will inevitably be resisted by the aristocratic family, but if you are willing to say a word for us, even the aristocratic family will not be able to block the desire to learn from the students all over the world."
Mr. Qi... Mr. Qi looked at the Linglong mountains and rivers that were close at hand, imagining the future that the emperor said, digging canals, Jinzhong granaries, the cost of studying for students in the world will not be so high, even ordinary people can pay for scholars... Qi Lao's eye sockets suddenly became moist.
For such a future, so what if he returned to the imperial court?
worth!
Besides, he originally wanted to contribute to this great Jin.
"Who built this exquisite mountain and river?"
With such uncanny workmanship, Elder Qi couldn't wait to meet this strange man, even if he didn't say anything, he could vaguely guess that it might be the old man from Longzhong, otherwise who would have such ability?
Qi Lao looked admiring, but the emperor and Lin Xiang were a little embarrassed.
What should I do, now tell this old man that this Linglong Mountain and River was made by my son, and it is not the eldest son who is about ten years old, but the younger son who is only five years old this year, will the old man Qi say that they are lying and then walk away?
But thinking about the tossing and tossing of my youngest son, maybe there will be something to toss about in the future. If you want to say that Linglong Mountains and Rivers are quite normal in Xiaofu's place.
Or... to be honest?
The emperor and Lin Xiang glanced at each other, and finally decided to tell the truth honestly. As for whether Mr. Qi believes it or not, well, if he can keep it, Mr. Qi will believe it.
"It was my family's Sanlang, King Fu."
Fu Wang?Old Qi blinked, not expecting this answer.
At the same time, I couldn't help thinking, who is this King Fu, I remember that the emperor seems to have no brothers, and his family Saburo, his family Saburo... Qi Lao was shocked.
Isn't his Saburo the one who was born five years ago when it rained heavily, and then he was directly blessed with the King of Fortune?
"If I remember correctly, King Fu looks like...five years old this year?"
The emperor and Lin Xiang touched their noses, "Exactly."
Elder Qi is out of anger at this time, do you think he is a three-year-old child?So easy to cheat!
The emperor was naturally aware of Old Qi's anger, and patiently comforted him, "And not only that, do you still remember the butterfly origami book? My son was the first to discover the folding method of this book."
By this time, the connection between Qian Xin and the imperial court can be exposed, "Not only is the butterfly origami book, but even the cement that makes the North-South Skyway is created by my son, and even the fruits you like to eat are all planted by Saburo .”
An exaggerated thing may be nonsense, but three or five exaggerated things are all placed on the head of a little doll, unless the emperor is out of his mind and is not afraid of blowing the cowhide, then the seemingly most absurd possibility, It could be the final truth.
Old Qi also calmed down after being angry. He didn't believe that a child could be so powerful, otherwise where would the adults have lived for decades?
But you have to believe what you hear and see what you see, so Mr. Qi said very calmly, "Then can you introduce me to His Royal Highness Fu Wang?"
The emperor and Lin Xiang glanced at each other, "Of course."
And what about His Royal Highness, the center of the topic at this time?
Little Li Fu didn't know that he was betrayed by his own father and Lin Xiang, and today was another day without class, and little Li Fu was wandering outside!
As for how to wave, of course it is climbing a tree!
Yes, ever since he found out that he couldn't even climb a mere fruit tree, Li Xiaofu held his breath in his heart and worked hard to exercise for a few days. After a few days of exercise, he himself Li Xiaofu, who had made great progress, came to challenge to climb fruit trees again!
huh huh huh huh!Big peach tree, here I come!
And the one who accompanied Li Xiaofu was of course the fat cub who was always inseparable!
To say that Fat Cub has a very wide heart, he completely forgets to eat but not to beat. After eating the dried fish that day, he completely forgot the pain of being smashed. Seeing the little master coming to the orchard, he still Dare to follow.
And it doesn't even move its position.
Little Li Fu was struggling to climb the tree beside him, and the little fat cub nestled under the tree and took a nap, very leisurely.
Little Li Fu rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, summed up the experience of the last failure, and then climbed up the tree.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, come on, five steps are coming soon.
But just when Xiao Li Fu was about to climb the fifth step, one of his feet was unsteady, and he fell down after swiping.
Little Li Fu didn't give up, so he tried again, this time it was even worse, he fell in three steps.
How could Little Li Fu believe in evil, so he tried again, but this time, the fruit tree finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he really couldn't bear to let Little Fuwa fall down, so he threw a fruit down.
Right in the head of the little fat cub.
The little chubby cub groaned when he was hit, opened his squinted eyes and looked left and right. When he found that it was another big peach, he was so angry that he went up and grabbed it.
Li Xiaofu watched the little chubby boy's performance awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed, and troubled the poor boy again.
The fruit originally meant for Little Fuwa was scratched and gnawed by the big cat, how could the fruit tree be reconciled, so Li Xiaofu was thinking in his heart whether to come back after practicing, the fruit tree crackled and dropped another bunch of fruits, and Li Xiaofu and Fat Cub buried himself upright.
Li Xiaofu: "..."
Fat Cub: "..."
The emperor, Prime Minister Lin and Elder Qi who just arrived not far away: "..."
Emperor: Is this what the son himself said about climbing trees and picking fruits by himself?He just said how his short legs could climb up...
Lin Xiang: So naive, it seems that there is less homework, when he finds time...
And Qi Lao: Is this the super powerful His Royal Highness Fu Wang?
→_→I always feel that I have been cheated, how can I break it?
The author has something to say: Mr. Qi: I can’t believe there is such a naive, lovely, lively and mischievous Daxian...
