Origin

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's words full of helplessness, Wang Xinran smiled and said, "You have been bitten by a snake once and have been afraid of well ropes for ten years."

"This is not just a snake bite. This debit note has already tricked me..." Wu Zhongyuan stopped here. It seemed a bit arbitrary to say so. The northwest ancient tomb and Zisu spiritual energy place with hidden wormholes Although the underground illusion he transformed indirectly caused him a lot of trouble, it didn't look like a trap deliberately laid by the enemy.

After pondering, Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for this matter. I don't have time to do that now. Don't rush to the arsenal. There will be a pill distribution ceremony the day after tomorrow. You can't be absent."

"Okay." Wang Xinran nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, it's getting late. Let's go back to the harem for dinner." Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the palace door.

Wang Xinran followed Wu Zhongyuan out of the Zhongtian Hall. Jiang Dahua and others who were in charge of security outside the Dan Hall saw the two coming out and stepped forward to greet them.

Wu Zhongyuan thanked everyone for his hard work, and then exchanged a few words with the two elderly couples who were waiting outside the Alchemy Palace to borrow the Alchemy Cauldron, and then entered the Alchemy Palace to inspect the cracks on the Alchemy Cauldron.

In modern terms, the air pressure inside the Hunyuan Cauldron is very high. If it is in a high-pressure state for a long time, cracks in the cauldron body are inevitable. As long as there is no air leakage, it can continue to be used.

After inspecting it, I felt that the alchemy cauldron should be able to last until the remaining ingredients were refined. Then I left the alchemy palace and went to the harem with Wang Xinran.

When there was no one around, Wang Xinran said, "Don't eat in the middle palace. Go to the east courtyard. You haven't been there for a long time. Go over and say hello."

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the call immediately, not because he didn't want to go, but because he was not sure whether Wang Xinran's words were sincere.

Wang Xinran guessed what Wu Zhongyuan was thinking, and said casually, "Wu Qing is not easy either. She is very virtuous and knows the rules. As long as I am in the palace, she will go there every day to say hello. She is a very good person. Don't neglect me." "

"Aren't Wu Di and Jiang Nan good?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

"Both of these are fine," Wang Xinran said. "Wu Di is very smart, but she never plays tricks on me. Jiang Nan also respects me very much. The people you are looking for don't have the habit of being pretentious or scheming. I don’t even hate it.”

While the two were talking, they arrived at the harem. Wang Xinran raised his finger and pointed to the east courtyard, indicating to Wu Zhongyuan to go there, and then continued north to the middle palace.

Wu Zhongyuan was about to go to the east courtyard when Wang Xinran turned around and came back.

"Wu Qing's spiritual energy cultivation is too low. You have so many pills in your hand, you might as well give her one."

"She is different from you. She doesn't like to participate in these things. It would be a waste to give it to her." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said.

"That's not necessarily true, and you didn't give her a chance to participate," Wang Xinran said, "You go ahead, I'll go to the post to see my dragon colt after dinner."

After Wang Xinran said that, he turned around and left. Wu Zhongyuan turned around and went to the east courtyard. On the way to the east courtyard, he considered what Wang Xinran said before. Wang Xinran said that it was reasonable. Wu Qing should be considered to improve her cultivation, even if she did not need to participate in the war. , at least you can protect yourself in the event of an accident.

The last time he went to modern times, he possessed a pug. After he came back, his soul returned to his true body. This pug has been adopted by Wu Qing since he was in Daze. After entering the palace, he brought You Xiong and Wu Zhongyuan. As soon as he entered the door of the east courtyard, the pug came up to him wagging his tail.

If conditions permit, you still have to keep a dog. Having a dog creates fireworks, which not only prevents theft, but also gives you a good feeling of being greeted when you return home.

There is no gong hanging at the door of the east courtyard. The lack of a gong means that it is inconvenient for Wu Qing to take him to bed. Wu Zhongyuan does not feel lost. After being promoted to Taiyuan, his desire has not disappeared, but his self-control ability has become stronger and stronger. There will be hot-bloodedness, irritability and eagerness.

Wu Qing was having dinner when she heard the barking of a pug. The maid opened the door to see what was going on. When the maid opened the door, Wu Qing saw Wu Zhongyuan and hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks to welcome him out.

She didn't see Wu Zhongyuan often. When she saw Wu Zhongyuan coming, she was so surprised that she knelt down to salute with a bit of shyness.

Wu Zhongyuan helped Wu Qing up and took her hand into the main room. There were dishes on the table. In addition to rice porridge, there was also a plate of sunflower vegetables and a plate of soy beans. It was very simple and there was no meat.

In ancient times, there were very few varieties of vegetables. The common ones were sunflower, hyacinth, scallions, green onions, and leeks. Sunflower is not the modern okra, but a green leafy plant that is somewhat similar to spinach. At this time, there were no big vegetables. Cabbage and sunflower are the main vegetables.

Hugo is the leaf of a legume plant, and Hugo is a bean, both of which can be pickled and served with rice.

Sage is a bit like a modern wild garlic, and to be honest, it’s not very tasty.

Onions and leeks are modern onions and leeks, but their taste is different from modern onions and leeks. They are very spicy and can cause heartburn when eaten raw, so they can only be eaten cooked.

When Wu Zhongyuan came, there must be additional dishes. Wu Zhongyuan ordered it himself. There was already tofu at this time, but it was not the white and tender tofu of later generations, but something between bean paste and tofu, more like bean curd, and not Regular small pieces, but a jar, take a spoonful when you want to eat.

Wu Zhongyuan ordered tofu, venison and a plate of purple potato. People in ancient times were accustomed to eating porridge. Wu Zhongyuan retained the eating habits of modern northerners and liked to eat dry food, so he ordered scones.

Although Wu Qing was virtuous and gentle, she was not the frail and sickly little woman of later generations. When the food came, Wu Zhongyuan asked her to eat with her, so she ate, neither chewing slowly nor gobbling it down. It was very ordinary and very ordinary. Comfortable.

During the meal, Wu Zhongyuan asked about Wu Xuan. Wu Xuan is Wu Qin's son and his brother-in-law. This little guy likes to show off his power. According to Wu Qing, Wu Xuan was very familiar with Jiang Dahua's son in school. It's not that he is domineering, but he is definitely arrogant.

Wu Zhongyuan is not disgusted with this, at least not very much. The emperor's relatives are the emperor's relatives and they cannot act recklessly, but there is no need to be approachable.

It was already the end of autumn, and the weather was getting colder. Wu Zhongyuan rewarded Wu Qing with some leathers and cloth, and two thousand shell coins. In fact, all the concubines in the harem had basic support, and what Wu Zhongyuan rewarded was an extra gift. Wu Qing It can be given as a gift to relatives and friends, or as a reward to servants.

Wu Qing was a little worried about Wu Zhongyuan's reward, and Wu Zhongyuan did not hide it. He only said that he had been busy with government affairs recently and had neglected her, and he felt guilty in his heart.

Wu Qing said that he was mediocre and incompetent, which only increased the burden and could not help the king.

Wu Zhongyuan remembered Wang Xinran's previous words, so he rewarded Wu Qing with a Taixuan Spiritual Pill and assigned her an errand to supervise the school and Fushouyuan.

This errand seems simple, but in fact it is extremely trivial, because the elderly and children are the most difficult to manage, especially since these elderly and children are relatives of the lords of the major cities.

It was the first watch when he came. After eating and drinking a cup of tea, he left before the second watch. He came back after a while. He went to Xinyue Island and brought back some fruits. At this time, supplies were very scarce. Scarcity, there are fresh fruits all year round on Xinyue Island, and Xinyue Fox eats very little after the monkey dies. He occasionally picks some to give away, and it is easier to come and go after being able to teleport.

Leaving some fruits for Wu Qing, Wu Zhongyuan went to the Zhonggong Palace, sent some to Wang Xinran, and finally took the remaining ones to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

During the day, his conversation with the old blind man was interrupted by Wang Xinran. He came here to continue discussing government affairs with the old blind man. In addition to the three hundred purple spirit pills needed by the Golden Bear Wizard, the Taurus Warrior and the Golden Crow Warrior, he There was still a lot of purple energy elixir left in his hand. What he wanted to discuss with the old blind man this time was how to distribute the remaining purple energy elixir to the seventy-one walled cities under his jurisdiction.

Seventy-one walled cities need to be discussed one by one, and all aspects must be weighed, which is extremely cumbersome.

The old blind man first proposed to add an auxiliary city to the west of Youxiong City. The so-called auxiliary city, as the name suggests, is an auxiliary city of Youxiong. Youxiong was originally the capital of the Bear clan. After the unification of the three clans, a large number of various institutions were added, which seemed very crowded. Some people And some less important functional departments, including the residences of middle and lower-level officials in various ministries, can be transferred to the auxiliary city.

Three military barracks were built in the vacated positions, located due south, due west, and due east of the palace. They can guard the imperial city in peacetime, and can be quickly assembled in wartime, either to go to the battlefield in person, or to use Wu Zhongyuan's instantaneous attack. Thousands of miles, teleporting troops.

Wu Zhongyuan agreed to the old blind man's suggestion, and the auxiliary city was directly named Daifu, with Wu Ji, assistant to the Ministry of Punishment, also serving as the city lord.

As a result, the Bear Clan has expanded to eighteen cities, the Bird Clan has twenty-four, and the Ox Clan has thirty cities, for a total of seventy-two.

In addition to these seventy-two walled cities, we have to add the Zhulang tribe, the Yi tribe, the Gao Zhan tribe of werewolves, and the Black Widow Yinma River. These tribes have actually joined the Central Plains and distributed You have to take it into consideration when choosing elixirs, otherwise it will appear that you favor one over the other.

Running a country is the most labor-intensive. These seventy-two walled cities must be equipped with main and deputy city lords. Especially when a war is coming, the deputy city lords are particularly important. In case the city lord dies in battle, the deputy city lords can also perform their duties as substitutes. .

Because the three clans were originally hostile to each other and had deep grudges, although the conflicts have eased a lot after he ascended the throne, there are still more or less old grudges between the major city lords. Before that, a large number of city lords died in the war. Currently, many cities are It was the two princes who temporarily appointed the city's warriors to serve as substitutes. Since they had not been formally appointed by him, these people could be adjusted before they were officially appointed. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan and the old blind man were discussing this matter. They thought about it in a short time. It is difficult to get the city leaders of the three tribes to work together, but at least they cannot be in the same position and do nothing to save them in a critical moment.

The focus of the discussion between the two was the distribution of the purple spirit elixir and the appointment of the city lord. In principle, they respected the opinions of the two princes Li Tai and Jiang Zhen. They tried not to change the selection of the city lord they proposed, but they could only change what must be changed, because the two princes The personnel arrangements that people made at this time were to prepare for the upcoming six-path melee.

In addition, the two princes, Yiren clan, Shark clan, Wolf clan, and Yinmahe must also give a certain amount of elixirs, which they will distribute to the people below. These people are special and must be given to them to a certain extent. of autonomy.

It wasn't until the fourth watch that the tone was roughly set. Wu Zhongyuan stood up and left, and the old blind man saw him off personally.

"I have to go out for a trip. If I can't make it back in time for the morning meeting, you can handle the affairs on my behalf." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old blind man nodded in agreement and did not ask where he was going.

It was wise for the old blind man not to ask, because even if he asked, Wu Zhongyuan would not tell him the truth. The old blind man had always been inclined to use troops against the beast clan, and he wanted to go to the beast clan altar and have direct contact with the beast king.

By this time, the Beast King should have regained his intelligence. You can go here to hear his views on current affairs, as well as his attitude towards gods, ghosts, demons, and humans...
