In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Gu Li decided not to think too much, and asked Chen Feng: "By the way, why did General Geng come here just now?"

To be honest, Geng Chongming has always had a stinky and hard attitude towards him, and he still thinks that Geng Chongming doesn't like him very much. He didn't expect to hear Geng Chongming justly say that he is a good emperor, which is really unexpected. Hi.

Gu Li also understood the reason why Geng Chongming appeared here. It must be because Chen Feng, the little fox, saw Geng Chongming appearing in the capital and wanted to lure him into his gang to help in the great cause of rebellion.What he urgently wants to know now is, did Geng Chongming agree?

Chen Feng squeezed his face: "You can't even think of this? Geng Chongming is upright and upright, and has a lot of prestige in the rebel army. If you can help me, it will be of great use. It's a pity..."

Gu Li was overjoyed, he didn't expect Geng Chongming to reject Chen Feng.Geng Chongming was courageous, he came to Chen Feng's lair alone, he refused to join, and he was not afraid that Chen Feng would detain him and put him under house arrest.This person is very capable, so it was right to let him go.

Seeing Chen Feng's worried look, Gu Li comforted him: "General Geng doesn't want to join you, so forget it, there is not me. I have penetrated into the enemy's interior now, and I am deeply trusted by Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu also Said, when he comes back, he will treat Mr. Sai to dinner, and then he can introduce me to him!"

Gu Li ran the train with his mouth full, slipping Chen Fengwan.Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Can't you leave Eunuch Yu?"

It came again and again, Gu Li didn't expect that Chen Feng would be fine if he didn't praise him, but he was still entangled in this matter. The boss was not happy: "What are you doing? I finally gained the trust of Eunuch Yu, you called me Just leave? Then all the suffering I suffered before was in vain?"

However, Chen Feng's breathing was stagnant, thinking of the traces he saw when he lifted Gu Yixin's clothes that day, he clenched his hands involuntarily.

Gu Li said again: "If you want me to leave Eunuch Yu, you must give me a good reason!"

How could Chen Feng express his selfishness to the mouth, so he had to say: "Forget it, anyway, he is not in the capital these days, you should think about it first. If you leave him, I will leave more important things to you."

Gu Li asked what was more important, but Chen Feng didn't say much.

While Gu Li was thinking about it, Chen Feng approached him and lowered his voice in his ear: "By the way, since Eunuch Yu is in charge of the publication of "Da Chu Morning Post", then I would like to ask you to do something."

Gu Li asked: "Should I help you publish inflammatory remarks in the "Da Chu Morning News"? This newspaper is reviewed by the dog emperor every day, and I dare not make mistakes."

Chen Feng shook his head, and whispered: "That... the ending of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", can you get it?"

Gu Li: (°ー°〃)

Gu Li was not in a hurry to go back to the palace. He left Chen's mansion in broad daylight, and there were people coming and going outside the walls of the Forbidden City, and there were people everywhere, so it was extremely inconvenient to sneak in.It was not easy for him to gain Chen Feng's further trust, and he couldn't just let it go by.

In the afternoon, Gu Li borrowed the kitchen of Chen's mansion, washed and steamed the plucked Sophora japonica flowers, and together with Chen Feng, cats in the attic while reading books while eating Sophora japonica flowers.

Chen Feng was studying English seriously, and Gu Li could only hold back his laughter when he listened to him reciting words hard.

Gu Li left after having dinner in the Chen Mansion. Chen Feng sent him downstairs and told him: "Since Eunuch Yu is not in Beijing, no one will restrain you. Come to me when you have nothing to do."

Gu Li vaguely heard the meaning of nostalgia from this awkward invitation, and he readily agreed, walking and chewing with acacia flowers in his sleeves, and gradually walked away.When he got to the side of the road where he had been sitting in the morning, he remembered that he could see this place from Chen Feng's attic.

He raised his head subconsciously, looking for the window of Chen Feng in the attics row upon row, as if he had a tacit understanding, Chen Feng happened to be standing by the window, his celestial appearance was as conspicuous as a jewel.

The setting sun hit the window lattice, and Chen Feng's white and greasy skin was covered with a warm yellow halo.Facing Gu Li's eyes, he was a little unexpected, and before he had time to hide it, a sparkling and charming smile could not help but bloom on that fair cheek.

With a pagoda flower in his lips, Gu Li stared blankly at Chen Feng's smiling face, and suddenly felt: Chen Feng...maybe...he really likes him...

Gu Li left in a daze. When he left the street, he always felt that Chen Feng's eyes were glued to his back.This line of sight is the softest spider's thread, the gentlest spring breeze, which makes him feel uncomfortable, as if he doesn't know how to move his legs.

It wasn't until he reached the base of the imperial city that his head finally cleared up, and he finally realized that he was being followed.

Did Chen Feng send someone to follow him?

Why hasn't this little fox believed him yet?

Gu Li didn't look back, and quickly walked into a small tavern, walked directly from the front of the hall to the back of the house, walked to the other side of the alley, got into a carriage, and said to the carriage driver, "Go to the alley."

He arrived at Nianzi Hutong, entered Cao's house first, and made sure no one was following him, then carefully returned to the palace in the dark.

After all the hardships, he finally returned home.Zhou Changshun stood guard at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and when he saw his figure, he hurried up to greet him and whispered, "Your Majesty!"

Gu Li smiled and said, "I know what you're going to say again: you're back!"

Zhou Changshun was impatient: "Your Majesty, don't tease the villain. Guo Zhaoyi came to see you in the afternoon, and I told you that you were resting. She let the little highness sneak in. The little highness came in and saw that you were not there, and started yelling. Guo Zhaoyi forced me to ask you Where did you go, the villain really has no choice..."

Gu Li asked, "Did you tell the truth?"

Zhou Changshun said: "That's not true. You left the palace for the first time, and Prime Minister Mu's courtiers came to persuade you the next day. If the villain reveals your departure from the palace, wouldn't it be an embarrassment for you?" Guo Zhaoyi Pressed, the villain had no choice but to say, you are relaxing in the leopard room, and let her not disturb you."

Gu Li: ...

The Leopard Room, he has been passing through it for so long, and he never thought of going in to have a look.Last time, I just glanced at the top of Long Live Mountain from a distance.There was also a leopard room in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that it was a place for Emperor Zhengde to enjoy himself. Some said that rare animals were kept in captivity, and some said that there were stunning beauties hidden. Anyway, it is a cave of ecstasy.I don’t know if the Leopard House in Dachu is the same as in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Zhou Changshun's anxious appearance, it seems that the Leopard Room is a place that every emperor who wants to be a wise emperor should stay away from.But he couldn't blame Zhou Changshun, he couldn't think of a better way.

Gu Li comforted him: "It's nothing, next time Guo Zhaoyi presses you again, don't pay attention to her."

Thinking that Guo Jing actually used Gu Youzhen to find out if he was in the palace, Gu Li was a little angry, and told Zhou Changshun: "You go and take Zhen'er over."

Zhou Changshun took the order and left.

Gu Li entered Qianqing Palace and asked people to find Geng Chongming and Zuo Shijue respectively.

Geng Chongming arrived first, so Gu Li still asked him if he had dinner.

Geng Chongming still had the same cold attitude: "I didn't eat."

Gu Li was choked by him, and said in his heart that if he hadn't heard Geng Chongming praise him with his own ears, with Geng Chongming's attitude, he would never believe that Geng Chongming would say that he was a good emperor.

Gu Li chuckled, and said: "Since I haven't eaten yet, I'll make a long story short. I want to ask you for a favor. I'm trapped in the capital every day. What I want to see and hear is what the officials want." Let me see what I hear. I have no way to go down and see for myself what the actual situation of the people is like, so I want you to be my eyes and ears and make a patrol for me."

"Whether there are any local officials in the whole country who privately embezzle farm cattle and crops, if so, please report to me. In addition, if there are evil officials who are fish and meat people in various places, please also report the list."

Geng Chongming may not be able to return to Fengxiang Mansion in the near future. Corrupt bureaucrats are not one or two, but a collective. He hasn't cleaned them up yet.

Geng Chongming said lightly: "It turns out that this is the matter, leave it to me."

Gu Li smiled and said, "Then I will thank you first."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Changshun walked up to Geng Chongming holding a box.

Gu Li said: "Here is [-] banknotes. It is my thank you gift, and I will give it to you for the fare on the way to Panchuan. It is a long way to go, please take care, Mr. Geng."

Gu Li stabbed another hand letter, stamped it with "The Treasure of Respecting the Heaven and Diligence for the People", and handed it to Geng Chongming, so as not to hinder him from doing things.

When Geng Chongming went out, Zuo Shijue just came in.The two met at the gate of Qianqing Palace. Geng Chongming glanced at him, expressionless, and left holding the box.

Zuo Shijue entered the palace and saluted Gu Li.Zuo Shijue was much more polite than Geng Chongming, the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Gu Li said: "Zuo Shangshu's calligraphy and painting are unique, different from popular customs, every time I see Zuo Shangshu's memorials, I have to concentrate on admiring them for a while. "

Zuo Shijue's handwriting was indeed good. The Dachu treasure banknotes issued by the Baochao Department, in order to avoid folk counterfeiting, were printed with Zuo Shijue's writing and a landscape painting by a famous Songjiang painter.

After Zuo Shijue was modest and courteous, Gu Li asked again: "I don't know if Zuo Shangshu has dabbled in folk tales? Have you ever thought about catching a knife yourself?"

Zuo Shijue didn't answer right away, thinking deeply about the meaning of the emperor's question.It suddenly occurred to him that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" serialized in the "Da Chu Morning News" seems to have tens of thousands of words to finish. Could it be that Mr. Jin no longer writes, so His Majesty urgently needs to find someone to fill in this gap? ?

Although it was not what he dreamed of, His Majesty found that he was talented, talented, and capable, and planned to let that old guy, Prime Minister Mu step down and go home, and promote him as Prime Minister of Great Chu, but now His Majesty asked him to write a storybook and publish it in the newspaper. It can be regarded as a small step towards this lofty dream!

Zuo Shijue wanted to understand, and said: "When I have nothing to do, I used to write some low-quality casual essays. It's right to practice my pen. It's just that I have been busy with business affairs in recent years, so I haven't written for a long time, and I don't know if my hand is born."

Gu Li said: "It's easy to say if you have written it. I have something to entrust to you! "Da Chu Morning News" was published by my order, and "Shooting the Condor" will be finished in ten days. I need a Enough interesting stories to keep the paper's sales going."

Zuo Shijue smiled slightly, as expected.Zuo Shijue silently praised himself for being wise!

Gu Li added: "I've also thought about this story, let's write the story of Geng Chongming's entry to Beijing to sue the imperial court. It must be written with ups and downs and climaxes, closely follow the main theme, and promote positive energy."

Zuo Shijue:? ? ?

At this time, Gu Youzhen ran in, jumped in and hugged Gu Li's thigh, and called out sweetly: "Father! Zhen'er and concubine mother came to see you today..."

Gu Li was afraid that he would yell and wanted Zuo Shijue to know that he had slipped out of the palace today, so he quickly hugged Gu Youzhen, smiled and said, "Did Zhen'er eat?"

He asked Zuo Shijue to go back first, took out the steamed Sophora japonica flower from his pocket, and stuffed it into Gu Youzhen's mouth: "Zhen'er taste whether it is sweet or not, and whether it is fragrant or not."

Gu Youzhen was really fooled, and forgot what she wanted to say.Gu Li led him out of the palace for a walk, went to see Xiao Tan, and wandered around the palace. Not long after returning to Qianqing Palace, Guo Zhaoyi begged to see him.

Gu Li let her in, and asked someone to carry Gu Youzhen to Dong Nuan Pavilion to write, and get ready to face the gust of wind.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhaoyi bowed to Gu Li gently, without mentioning that he came to see him in the afternoon, put the food box on the table, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is something that my concubine spent a lot of time making." Your Majesty's dim sum, let's taste it."

In all fairness, the dim sum made by Guo Zhaoyi looks pretty good, but Gu Li has no appetite, so he said lightly, "Just leave it alone."

Guo Zhaoyi paused, sat down at Gu Li's feet, and said, "Is Your Majesty still angry with my concubine? In fact, this concubine has already figured it out. It was my father who did something wrong. Since this concubine has entered the palace, this natal family will You should be cautious in your words and deeds, not to mention that the people live in poverty, and every sum of money that my father embezzled may ruin the family of an ordinary person. Your Majesty's punishment for him is right."

Unexpectedly, she could finally figure it out, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's great if you can figure it out."

Guo Zhaoyi smiled and said: "The concubine has already explained to her natal family that they must act cautiously and not make mistakes. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and the concubine must also set an example."

Gu Li nodded: "That's right."

Guo Zhaoyi asked: "I heard that Your Majesty is having fun in the Leopard Room in the afternoon. The concubine knows that His Majesty has been busy with official duties recently, and has been busy with paperwork for a long time, so he needs to relax, but His Majesty also needs to love and take care of his body. I heard that Prime Minister Mu thought Choose some beauties for His Majesty to enter the palace."

It turned out that Guo Zhaoyi rushed here in the afternoon because of this. Gu Li said: "What kind of beauty pageant enters the palace, I am not a lustful king. I still have a lot of things on my hands, so I will put this aside for now."

It's not that he doesn't want to find someone he likes, but one Guo Zhaoyi in this palace is enough to annoy him. If there are two more Guo Zhaoyis, wouldn't it be able to lift his Qianqing Palace?

And when it comes to what he likes, Gu Li himself can't figure it out.

Guo Zhaoyi leaned against Gu Li's knee: "Your Majesty really doesn't want to enrich the harem? There is only one concubine in the six palaces, isn't Your Majesty lonely?"

Gu Li asked: "Do you want me to choose someone to enter the palace?"

Guo Xuanshi said: "Theoretically, His Majesty's harem should add some people. In terms of love, the concubines naturally hope that His Majesty will only have one person, and in the heart of the concubine, there is only Your Majesty."

hiss……

Why is it a bit gross?

Gu Li was puzzled, he really didn't see that Guo Xuanshi had him in his heart, could it be that he was in his heart after making him a few snacks?

Gu Li was puzzled, looked into Guo Xuanshi's eyes, and asked seriously: "Do you like me?"

Guo Xuanshi showed a charming smile, and looked into Gu Li's eyes: "Of course I like it."

"However, one's eyes cannot deceive others." Gu Li stood up and walked aside.He recalled the moment when he met Chen Feng's eyes on the street this evening.Those glistening cheeks are the ones you can't help but show when you see someone you like.

"If a person likes you, even if he covers it up in every possible way, he can't hide his eyes." At this moment, Gu Li was almost certain that Chen Feng at least had a crush on him.Although I don't know why this little fox likes him, it is undoubtedly beneficial to Gu Li.

"Guo Zhaoyi, you go back. I know what you are thinking. I will tell you the truth, as long as you teach Youzhen well, you will always have a place in this harem."

In fact, Guo Zhaoyi took good care of Gu Youzhen. Although Zhen'er was a bit delicate, she was a good boy who could listen to advice. I think Guo Zhaoyi also put a lot of thought into teaching him.It's just that Guo Zhaoyi has been using Zhen'er recently, which makes Gu Li a little unhappy.

He decided to observe for some more time, if Guo Zhaoyi really changed, Gu Youzhen would still be taught by her.

Guo Zhaoyi smiled sweetly: "The concubine thanked His Majesty Long En. These snacks are going to be cold, will Your Majesty really not try it?"

Gu Li sat down at the table, picked a few pieces and tasted them.Guo Zhaoyi didn't bother him any more, and left when he saw that he didn't want to eat.

Guo Zhaoyi carried the food box and left Qianqing Palace, and the little palace maid beside her said distressedly: "Zhaoyi, you have made these snacks all afternoon, and His Majesty didn't eat anything."

Guo Zhaoyi smiled and said: "You are so stupid, Your Majesty tasted a few pieces, which is enough for me."

The little maid didn't understand the meaning of these words, and said: "Zhaoyi is infatuated with His Majesty, and His Majesty will see it sooner or later."

Guo Zhaoyi smiled, Your Majesty is not a fool, but His Majesty misjudged her. What she wants is not just a place in the harem!

Gu Li spent some snacks and went to Dongnuange to look after Gu Youzhen.Gu Youzhen held a brush in her little hand and was writing in a decent manner.Gu Li stepped forward and saw that the child was not writing, but drawing a little turtle.

Gu Li couldn't help but asked, "What is Zhen'er doing?"

Gu Youzhen turned her head and said with a sweet smile: "Father, this is what the little cat taught my son! This is Fu Shaoge tortoise!"

Gu Li resisted the urge to laugh, hugged Gu Youzhen, and asked, "Why is this little turtle's name so strange?"

Gu Youzhen plausibly said: "This is how the kitten taught Zhen'er!"

Gu Lixin said, Fu Shaoge, Fu Shaoge, you are so miserable, the future prince will already draw a big turtle for you before he knows you.How on earth did you offend the kitten?

Gu Li laughed enough, took Zhen'er to the desk, and taught him to write and draw.After teaching for a while, Gu Youzhen took the paint to fill in the picture, and Gu Li reviewed the memorial.

I was out of the palace for a day today, and my desk has piled up a lot of official business. Fu Shaoge told him that the promotion of Dachu Baobao banknotes is going well. The banknotes worth 600 million taels of silver have been put into the whole country. I am afraid that they are not enough for trade circulation. I suggest that he take some Taicang banknotes. The silver inside is the reserve fund, and some banknotes are printed.

When the corrupt officials in the capital were detected before, the treasury of the Taicang treasury was a little more abundant, but Gu Li felt that this matter was not urgent for the time being. The people around Beizhili had already adapted to the treasure banknotes. The Fengxiang Mansion in Beijing has not yet fully implemented banknotes.

In addition, Jiao Liewei sent news from Liaodong that Jianlu had recently sent envoys across the Yalu River to North Korea, demanding that North Korea return to Jianlu; in addition, when he left Beijing, Gu Li paid part of the starting salary, but now that Liaodong has just started spring, he still buys Without food, the soldiers could only go hungry.

Gu Li thought for a while, and planned to issue an edict to encourage grain merchants across the country to send grain to Liaodong, and then come to the capital with the seal to exchange for Yanyin. If Yanyin is not needed, they can directly exchange for banknotes that are higher than the world's grain price.

In addition, the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry asked Gu Li to allocate funds to improve the river and prevent the Yellow River from flooding. According to Gu Li's memory of history and weather forecast, there is a high probability that there will be no floods this year, but there may be smallpox.

Smallpox is easier to deal with. Students all know that they can be vaccinated to gain immunity.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty in the [-]th century, some doctors had already tried vaccination against human pox, but the mortality rate of human pox was higher, so it was not popularized on a large scale. I've heard of vaccinations.Now, what he needs is a cow!A cow infected with smallpox virus.

Regarding the matter of cowpox, Gu Li handed it over to the eunuch and horse supervisor in charge of Huangzhuang.He has a lot of pasture farms and it shouldn't be hard to find sick cattle.

By the time the memorial was approved, it was already late at night.Gu Li rubbed his forehead, feeling dizzy and weak.He stood up and stretched his arms and legs.

Gu Youzhen had already fallen asleep on the small desk, and Li Tang gave him a thick cloak to keep him from freezing.Gu Li picked up Zhen'er and saw a row of "Fu Shaoge Turtles" on the paper, which was still a painted version. A large piece of danzhu was smeared on Zhen'er's face, and she couldn't help laughing.

Li Tang had already prepared a towel, and gently wiped it for Zhen'er.Gu Li hugged Zhen'er, undressed him, and put him on the bed.

Gu Li washed up and went to bed to lie down.He was obviously very tired, but he couldn't sleep lying on the bed, and Chen Feng's face appeared in his mind.

Chen Feng likes himself, but he wants to cheat his money wholeheartedly. Thinking of Chen Feng like this, the little fox is quite pitiful. Next time we meet, face him better.

Gu Li thought about that shining face under the setting sun, and finally fell asleep.

A few days later, he was impeached by the admonishers for his "lingering in the Leopard House". When he listened to the lecture on the feast day in the morning, the admonisher told him a story about King Zhuang of Chu.

After listening carefully, Gu Li asked, "The reason why King Zhuang of Chu refuses to use ivory chopsticks is to avoid being trapped in luxury. What does this have to do with me?"

The lecturer earnestly said: "Your Majesty, this story profoundly illustrates the principle of drawing inferences from one instance to another. For example, if Your Majesty lingers in the leopard room just for pleasure, he will not want to review the memorial, and if he doesn't want to review the memorial, he will simply not come to court. , then you simply don’t want to worry about anything. How terrifying!”

Gu Li: Heh... so can we still make an analogy like this?
