Iron Armored Emperor

With the beating of Master Du first, all the officials thought that His Majesty wanted to punish the speech officials and not let them talk too much.

But then, Gu Lie successively rewarded four or five officials and civil servants who had something to say and made meritorious deeds.Among them, there is no lack of criticism and refutation of the government.

Now, all the ministers knew in their hearts that His Majesty was not allowed to speak, but he was not allowed to speak nonsense, as long as the words were reasonable.

As a result, the atmosphere in the government and the public has become clearer, especially the new officials who have just entered the government, they dare to speak more, and there are fewer people who bite their colleagues indiscriminately.

Gu Lie did it intentionally, and the effect was quite satisfying to him, and it also brought an unexpected joy, that is, there were a lot fewer books for Marquis of Shending.

After all, Di Qiye lived in the palace most of the time, and the officials basically only saw him in the early court, and Di Qiye's speeches in the court hall, although there were occasional shocking words, generally represented Gu Lie's mean.

Therefore, in fact, the officials couldn't find too many reasons to join him, and they were always the same as the old three: powerful, living in the palace, and not respectful enough.And these three things, after three years since the opening of the dynasty, even a fool should understand that they are all acquiesced by His Majesty.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Lie cleared up the atmosphere of rioting, half of Di Qiye's books were lost. Di Qiye half-jokingly said to the remaining books: "I thought they were really concerned about the country and the people, so they got enough energy to participate. Me, so I won’t participate? Among the remaining adults, if you search carefully, you may be able to find a few who are sincere, old-fashioned and respectful. You're contrarian."

This remark was exactly what Gu Lie meant, but Gu Lie didn't speak seriously, pretending to be surprised in a non-serious manner: "The Marquis of Dingguo also likes to contradict the widow. Could it be that Marquis Dingguo is also rigid and observant?"

Di Qiye dragged on, and replied flatly: "Yes, I'm actually a very rigid and polite person, please let me go quickly, or I will go to court tomorrow, and you will be impolite."

Gu Lie buried himself next to the neck of the man in his arms and smiled lowly.

The two entangled for a while, when Gu Lie suddenly thought of it and asked, "What did you ask the Yan family to buy? It's not good for someone to send it to the palace, and you have to pick it up yourself?"

Di Qiye thought he was tired of being crooked, so he pushed him away before saying, "Want to know?"

Gu Lie was very experienced, and said, "Don't tell me?"

"Smart," Di Qiye teased.

Yan Liuying took the things to Dingguohou's mansion.

The Yan family caravan went all the way south this time, and finally arrived at Rongcheng. Rongcheng is near the sea. There are a lot of strange and weird things. Expensive and rare things are easy to buy. If they are rare or not expensive, they can only be found in folk markets. Amoy, fortunately, Yan Liuying likes to go shopping and is good at bargaining. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't be able to find these three things.

There are three things that the prince of the given country bought, one is an extremely exquisite bicycle boat, which is a good thing made by a craftsman, and it is also the most expensive among them.

It was originally ordered by a wealthy family to please newborns. Because they specified that high-quality gold and silver materials should be used, half of the labor cost was paid first.Who knew that the child would be gone after birth, and the family refused to buy it, so they had to go to the market to sell it, because the materials used were so good that it was not too expensive, nor cheap.Let Yan Liuying pick up a leak.

The second piece was an extremely translucent fake ruby ​​the size of a longan. When Yan Liuying saw it, a fisherman's child played with it as a marble.

"Although it is possible to confuse the fake with the real one, it is not the real thing," Yan Liuying said apologetically, "The reasoning should not be presented, but this bead is indeed rare, beautiful and transparent, and it cannot be placed in the elegant hall. It should be enough to enjoy it in private."

Di Qiye didn't know anything about gemstones. He also felt that the beads looked really beautiful, so he didn't care. Even if he couldn't give it to Gu Lie, he could still give it to Gu Zhao as a marble.

I just don't know if that little adult Gu Zhao still plays marbles.

The third piece is a jade pomegranate.

It is not an ordinary carved jade pomegranate. The outer skin is cinnabar red foggy jade. It is miscellaneous jade, but it just imitates the texture of pomegranate skin. Inside are clear jade pomegranate seeds, and these pomegranate seeds can be The ones that were taken out corresponded to a shallow pit, all of them were taken off, messed up and put back together again, it was a gadget to kill time.

"It should be a piece of jade with too many flaws. It looks like a whole carving, but it is actually put together in pieces. The craftsman also took a lot of thought," Yan Liuying explained, "so the price is not expensive, and it is very interesting."

Di Qiye nodded and gave a good compliment.

Yan Liuying breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to return the remaining half bag of gold nuggets to Di Qiye, and said with a smile that if Marquis Dingguo couldn't find any broken silver next time, it would be fine to buy it on credit first.

As he spoke, he brought a thin account book specially recorded, and noted how much taels of silver this half bag of gold nuggets counted, how much taels each item cost, and how many gold nuggets were deducted equivalently.

Di Qiye really didn't expect this, and he didn't take back the money bag. He said softly, "Then store it at Patriarch Yan's place. These three items are all well-bought. The shipping cost and your thought are based on these three items. I will give you [-]% of the price."

"As long as you are free in the business, or your subordinates bought some rare things, you can keep one or two items for me, and they will be deducted inside. If there is not enough, I will give it to you."

"This……"

Yan Liuying hesitated for a moment, then agreed and said yes.

Now that Di Qiye was so relieved, Yan Liuying thought about it, and smiled again: "We actually bought the same thing, but no one knows what it is, it was fished by fishermen from the sea, but it cost a small amount of money. If Marquis Ding Guo is interested, let them send it up, and you can help us grasp the eyes."

Di Qiye nodded, and the Yan family came up with a wooden bucket covered with three iron rings.

Yan Liuying said: "Clear water is often carried on sea ships, but we have never seen this kind of iron ring wooden barrel, and we don't know what is in it. If it is wine or vinegar, it may be destroyed by the sea water?"

When Di Qiye took a closer look, he felt that it was an oak wine barrel favored by the high-ranking member of the Union Army with Hispanic features.

"Leave it to me to play with?"

Yan Liuying originally wanted to give a favor, but seeing that Di Qiye was really interested, it was natural that he should be.

When Gu Lie came back from Zhengshitang, there were three more wooden boxes in Weiyang Palace, but Di Qiye was still missing.

"What about him?" Gu Lie asked the eunuch on duty.

"In the imperial dining room."

Gu Lie raised his eyebrows as he recalled that cup of miserable green vegetable water.

Di Qiye went to the imperial dining room, opened the oak barrel with a hammer and a wooden chisel, and the translucent wine fell into the porcelain basin. Di Qiye tasted it with a spoon, and it really looked like the base wine provided by the military banquet.

In other words, it's not tasty at all.

He didn't like to drink alcohol at first, and in his previous life, alcohol was still very expensive, except when he had to take a glass as a show when he had a direct supervisor in his early years, he would rather drink fruit juice later on.After all, fruit juice is also very expensive. The juice provided by the military is freshly squeezed and tastes good.

In this life, because Jiang Yang got drunk once after changing the wine glass, and made a slip of the tongue after drinking in front of Gu Lie, and couldn't bear to leave this kind of weakness, so he practiced hard for a while.

I haven't drank much for more than three years, and I have almost returned to my drinking capacity.Every time there is a banquet at the end of the year, all the ministers drink below. He and Gu Lie rely on their high positions, so the jugs are filled with clean water.

The two of them occasionally had a drink in Weiyang Palace, but it was enough to stop and add to the fun.

Di Qiye thought for a while, and ordered to the imperial chef: "Squeeze two pots of orange juice, and boil a pot of syrup with pomegranate juice and white sugar. Prepare a bowl of crushed ice. Take two glass bottles with stoppers, put these The pot of wine is easy to pretend, if there is too much, you can share it, but I said first, this wine is not very good."

After Dingguohou spoke, the imperial dining room moved in an orderly manner. Although I don't know why Dingguohou came back to the imperial dining room in addition to squeezing juice, but who doesn't have a hobby?

The imperial chefs were carefully serving the orange and pomegranate. Di Qiye stood there fine, so he simply carried Ah Fei out, trying to force him to run for a while.

Ah Fei lay firmly on the road, like a dead dog, and let Di Qiye drag and wring it, but it stood still.

He even rolled his eyes at Di Qiye meanly.

Di Qiye laughed angrily at it, stretched out his hand and flicked Ah Fei's head, "How dare you roll your eyes at me? I'll let you know what military training is today."

Di Qiye picked up Ah Fei and headed towards the racetrack.

Wushuang was idly grazing in the stable, the horse was bored, and the master didn't go out to fight, so there was nothing to do.

Then it saw its owner enter the racecourse holding an ugly fat round.

Wushuang was furious at that time, it neighed very deliberately, and angrily scolded Di Qiye: What's the matter, it's fine to hook up with wild dogs, and dare to hug the Lord's territory to sacrifice to the world?Is it tall?Are you strong?Is there a handsome grandpa?Where is Your Majesty?Where is His Majesty?I want to participate in Di Qiye, like the new and dislike the old!

Di Qiye looked at Wushuang looking at himself with Xiaopo's eyes, and always felt that it wanted to be a dog's leg in front of Gu Lie again.

Di Qiye thought for a while, and rubbed his stomach for Ah Fei who was paralyzed on the grass and continued to be a dead dog.

Wushuang pretended to be indifferent and hissed, and tapped the big horses around him with his horseshoe, as if to show off: I have a wife, do you have one?

Di Qiye scratched Ah Fei's ear.

Wushuang kicked his horse's hoof, raised his horse's hoof, and hissed at the playing ponies. After getting a response from the ponies, he looked at Di Qiye again: I have sons, do you have them?

Di Qiye patted Ah Fei who was comfortable and humming.

Peerless...

Wushuang cried aggrievedly.

Di Qiye was so angry and funny that he asked someone to open the stable and led Wushuang out. He purred his handsome long face and said with a smile, "Aren't you a Wushuang war horse? Why are you crying?"

Wushuang blinked its big eyes, and knocked the unresisting Di Qiye to the ground with his head, and fell down himself, forcing the horse's head into Di Qiye's arms, and big tears flowed from its bright eyes. The eyes fell out and landed on Di Qiye's clothes.

Di Qiye was helpless: "If I hadn't fought side by side for so long, I would have thrown you out."

Wushuang let out a dissatisfied snort.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you," Di Qiye brushed his smooth mane.

After a while, Wushuang stood up by himself, shook his head, bit the rein on his body with his mouth, and handed it to Di Qiye.

"you,"

Di Qiye hesitated.

Wushuang rubbed Di Qiye's sleeve, refusing to give up.

The guard at the racetrack came up and asked, "Marquis Dingguo, do you want to put on a saddle?"

"Then let's do it," Di Qiye patted Wushuang on the head, "I'll run around with it twice."

It is a peerless war horse.

It can't stay idle.

As soon as Di Qiye got on the horse, Wushuang roared excitedly, raised the horse's hooves, and galloped away.
