After the general is bound to the demon concubine system

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was rarely any sound of quarreling, but a complete silence.

Li Sijiu looked at the crowd with a smile on his face—Yu Xiujin looked relaxed, Zhao Qian, Sun Li and the four adults looked at Yu Xiujin with burning eyes, while Yu Yanli was expressionless, sitting upright with his eyes downcast.

The dark and thin Mr. Zhao has long since changed his previous arrogance, and said to Yu Xiujin with admiration: "Your Majesty, you are really, really..." He got stuck, as if he didn't think of any good words, and said plainly : "You are really amazing!"

Yu Xiujin took a sip of hot tea and said, "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

Mr. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and after looking at each other with his three colleagues, he belatedly said: "The emperor is really very good at every word."

Yu Xiujin said: "That's not what I said." It was said by a scientist named Newton, but it's a pity that Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li couldn't understand the mystery.

Li Sijiu: ...

Judging from this, Yu Xiujin should have switched from political books to physics books recently.

As for why Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li suddenly praised Yu Xiujin, it was because after having the system exchanged things, Yu Xiujin referred to the modern regulations and made revisions in conjunction with the national policy of the Great Zhou. Building a house on the ground with the foundation laid is more like riding a rocket than the slow progress before. It is surprising that the alliance plan has been formulated within one month. The envoys from the country will come and discuss again. If there is no problem, the road can be laid and the trial run can be carried out.

The four left happily, Yu Yanli suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to the Emperor."

He spoke seriously, without any smile on his face, which was rare, and his eyes, which were always gentle, became deep and bottomless.

Yu Xiujin looked at him for a few seconds and asked, "What does the emperor want to tell me?"

Yu Yanli glanced at Li Sijiu who was at the side: "I want to chat with the emperor alone."

Li Sijiu heard the meaning of Yu Yanli's words, and said: "The minister avoided it first."

He was about to get up, but Yu Xiujin said: "No need, Ah Jiu is not an outsider."

When Li Sijiu heard this, his first thought was: If the system exists, how much favor can Yu Xiujin's words add to him?

But even though Yu Xiujin said so, Li Sijiu still planned to leave space for the two of them, his uncle and nephew, so he stood up and said, "I'd better go back to Jintu Palace first."

He was walking outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he passed by Yu Yanli, he heard Yu Yanli say to himself in a low voice: "Thank you."

After Li Sijiu left, Yu Xiujin asked, "What does the emperor want to tell me?"

"Your Majesty..." Yu Yanli said in a low voice, "Could it be that His Majesty really wants to carry out this plan?"

Yu Xiujin asked Yu Yanli: "Uncle Huang thinks something is wrong?"

Yu Yanli did not answer directly, and said: "...It is a good thing for the emperor to do everything by himself, but in the end it is still..." He paused, and asked: "What if other countries don't agree?"

If the alliance plan is implemented, it will be a good thing to improve the economy of all surrounding countries, and it will be beneficial and harmless. Why do you not agree?Yu Xiujin said: "If you don't agree, just lobby."

Yu Yanli said again: "But, making friends with world enemies is not what the people want."

Yu Xiujin took a deep look at the emperor's uncle: "Eat enough, clothe yourself warmly, live and work in peace and contentment, that's what the people want."

"..." Yu Yanli took a deep look at his nephew: "...the emperor is still..." He didn't care about etiquette, and even risked offending the emperor, he whispered two words: "Innocent."

Yu Xiujin was not angry, and said frankly: "I am naive, why not?"

Regardless of whether he is only 19 years old now, even if he reaches 29, 39, 49, no matter how many times he fails, he will still be so naive and will do this.

Yu Yanli shook his head lightly, as if disapproving of something, but in the end he just spit out four words: "...I understand."

Li Sijiu didn't know what Yu Xiujin and Yu Yanli talked about. In short, he never saw Yu Yanli in the Hall of Mental Cultivation after that day. Li Qi told Li Sijiu: "His Royal Highness King Jing is not feeling well, and he hasn't been there for several days. It's up."

When he saw Yu Yanli again, it was at the dinner party on New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, Yu Xiujin woke up very early as usual, but he didn't get up all the time. He lay on the bed until it was high in the sun. Li Sijiu was bored and pulled his quilt: "Your Majesty, don't stay in bed, get up quickly." Bar."

Yu Xiujin tugged on the quilt tightly: "I don't."

New Year's Eve is the only day he can rest in a year, and he can earn a moment by lying down for an extra moment.

Li Sijiu coaxed him: "Your Majesty, get up, and when you get up, I will give you a red envelope with lucky money."

Yu Xiujin: ...

He looked at Li Sijiu seriously: "Don't treat me like a child."

Li Sijiu laughed and stroked his hair with his fingers: "Your Majesty, please don't feel inferior because of your young age. We have a word called Nianxia, ​​don't mention how popular it is."

Yu Xiujin: ...

What a mess.

The two were chatting and joking, but they heard Wanzhi gently knock on the door and said: "My lord, are you up?"

"Get up, come in."

Wanzhi walked into the room with her breakfast, and saw Yu Xiujin lying on the bed, and Li Sijiu lying beside his bed, with a warm and harmonious appearance, she felt full of smoke and fire, and felt a little warm in her heart for some reason; Li Sijiu Jiudao: "Thank you, oh, yes, this is for you."

He reached out and took out a small red cloth bag the size of a fist, and motioned Wanzhi to come forward and get it.

Wanzhi stepped forward, took the cloth bag in her hand, and her wrist dropped: "...My lord, what is this? Why is it so heavy?"

Li Sijiu said: "Don't you like counting the lucky money for you? I specially asked Mr. Li to exchange the copper coins."

For a moment, Wanzhi felt that the smoke and fire in the room became stronger, and her heart became warmer.

Holding a whole bag of copper coins, she said emotionally, "My lord, you are truly a Bodhisattva."

Because Yu Xiujin was going to take a bath, change clothes and incense, and was going to attend tonight's palace banquet, he had a quick bite to eat before leaving; when they parted, Li Sijiu heard Yu Xiujin ask Chang Shunhai as he walked: "Every palace Has everything been delivered?"

Chang Shunhai said: "I sent it, and all the young masters were very happy when they received it. They also said that they wanted to thank the emperor in person."

Yu Xiujin paused, then said softly, "That's unnecessary."

Chang Shunhai replied with a hidden sigh: "Yes."

Li Sijiu knew that Chang Shunhai sighed because he felt sorry for those concubines, but in fact, Yu Xiujin also knew it.It's just that he is considerate of those concubines, but he never takes the initiative to visit them. He is afraid that those concubines will have feelings for him, because he knows that he can't respond. All he can do is to ensure their food, clothing and safety, and when they are willing When you confide your heart and ideals, go to help.

During the dinner, Li Sijiu attended as usual, and the former court and the harem gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve.Amidst the sound of singing and dancing, Huang Zhaoyi, who was sitting next to Li Sijiu, said in a rare low voice: "There were ten people at the dinner last time, but now there are eight people."

During the festival, Li Sijiu didn't want to see Huang Zhaoyi so sad, so he pointedly said: "You will see them again one day."

Huang Zhaoyi looked at him with a strange expression: "Are you saying that I will also be sent to a nunnery? Or that I will also suffer from tuberculosis?"

Li Sijiu: ...

Li Sijiu didn't know how to answer the words, he could only say mysteriously: "One day you will know."

He was chatting with Huang Zhaoyi, but he felt that he was being watched.

Li Sijiu subconsciously turned his head to look over, but unexpectedly saw Yu Yanli, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He raised his wine glass.

At the end of the palace banquet, it was snowing again, and Yu Xiujin seemed to be drinking too much, so he walked back to the palace with Li Sijiu without taking the imperial carriage. Xue Hua beside him seemed to be in a good mood, Li Sijiu asked him what was wrong, but he refused to speak.

When they arrived at the gate of Jintu Palace, the surrounding area was quiet, and none of the lights in the palace were turned on. This scene was too similar to the classic scene of exterminating the door in those martial arts dramas before. Li Sijiu immediately became vigilant, and reached out to hold Yu Xiu Jin stood behind him and called softly, "...Wanzhi?"

There was silence in response to him.

He cautiously approached the main hall all the way. In the darkness, he was sensitively aware of a figure walking in the darkness. Li Sijiu quietly grabbed the candlestick next to him, quickly approached him, and pressed the candlestick against the other person's body, saying coldly: " Who are you?"

But Wanzhi said anxiously: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I still have a lot of money to spend..."

Immediately afterwards, the battery light was turned on.

Li Sijiu first saw Wanzhi with a terrified face, and then he saw a huge... steamed bun burger on the table?

It was a huge round bun that was as long as his arm. It was cut into two pieces from the middle, with a huge thick meatloaf and a lot of green vegetables sandwiched in the middle. So far, this is still normal, but then There is still a thick layer of white solidified paste on the steamed buns.

Li Sijiu heard Yu Xiujin's helpless voice behind him: "I just want to celebrate your birthday and ask Wanzhi to prepare a surprise for you, but where are you thinking, put down the candlestick."

Li Sijiu was taken aback for a moment, then put down the candle holder: "Birthday?"

Yu Xiujin winked at Wanzhi, Wanzhi exited the room understandingly, and gently closed the door, Yu Xiujin said: "Today is New Year's Eve, but it is also the first day of four or nine days, of course it is you birthday."

Li Sijiu was taken aback; Yu Xiujin was right, the first day of every four or nine days in winter was his birthday, and it was also the origin of his name.

In the past, every time this time came, his mother would recite the song "Nine Counting Song": "Ninety-nine, two-nine, don't shoot, three-nine-forty-nine, walk on the ice, five-nine-sixty-nine, look at willows along the river." After reading, He would say to Li Sijiu as if nostalgic: "The day I was born with you was really cold, it was so cold that I lost all strength."

In modern times, Li Sijiu celebrates all birthdays in the solar calendar, and only his parents remember the birthdays in the lunar calendar, because he is too lazy to remember, let alone count the days. Later, when his parents passed away, he came to ancient times and went to war every day, even more so. birthday.

This was his first birthday after coming to ancient times, and his heart was sore and soft for a while.

Yu Xiujin said flauntingly: "I asked Yuchu to learn your favorite hamburger, and told him how to ferment butter. Ajiu still likes this hamburger cake?"

Li Sijiu said against his will, "I like it."

Yu Xiujin smiled with satisfaction.

The two of them ate some of the huge "cake" with drinks. Li Sijiu was overwhelmed, but Yu Xiujin became even more drunk. He held Li Sijiu's wrist: "Your birthday, I, I want to reward you with something."

Li Sijiu was a little curious: "What?"

Yu Xiujin coughed heavily: "I reward you, you sleep with me tonight."

His voice became louder: "Li Sijiu, are you still not thankful?"

Li Sijiu: ...

Why does it always sound familiar to me?
