Shengshi Mingjun
Chapter 41
Night, study room, two people.
Liu Xun tried his best to open his eyes wide, letting Si Jun look at his innocent and helpless eyes.
Si Jun folded his hands, raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Xun, unmoved.
Liu Xun suddenly turned into a kitten with round black eyes, squatting obediently, trying to look up at Si Jun with an innocent and helpless expression.
Si Jun suddenly felt a little itchy.
Liu Xun's cat ears moved, keenly sensing the sense of crisis, and "bang" turned into a big cat with golden back hair and white belly.
The big cat squatting with its front paws together, its fluffy face looks very serious and serious.
Si Jun said: "Why did you change the cat?"
The big cat tilted its head: "Meow." I feel like you are about to beat me up.
Although you can't speak in reality, you can communicate with your friends telepathically and systemically translate.
Si Jun thought to himself, no matter how cute Xiao Yue's cat is, after so many years of watching him act like a slut, now that he sees the dark circles under his eyes, he wants to beat him up so that the black circles under his eyes will become blacker and blacker.No matter how cute and innocent the black-eyed kitten is, he can see the subtext of "Come on, pretend" from this expression.
I can't believe how Le Zhengyuan endured it for so many years, and still became a partner with Xiao Yue.
However, Le Zhengyuan's mouth is also quite poisonous, and he often makes Xiao Yue speechless.
Chu Ming is still cute.Looking at this serious cat face, I feel very reliable.
Si Jun grabbed Liu Xun by the back of the neck and lifted Liu Xun into his arms: "Do you think I will forgive you if you become a cat?"
Liu Xun also put on a flattering expression, gave a sweet "meow", and arched his head back and forth in Si Jun's arms.
Si Jun's eyebrows twitched.Using Chu Ming's cat face to make Xiao Xiaojian's expression is still very itchy.
Liu Xun: "Meow meow." Anyway, it doesn't matter if you say it, right? "
Si Jun said: "It doesn't matter, but they pester you to predict what to do."
Liu Xun raised a cat's paw, and "whoosh" popped out the nail: "Meow!" As the emperor, who dares to force me!
Si Jun squeezed Liu Xun's meat pad, and Liu Xun obediently retracted his paw: "Take it easy from now on."
Liu Xun tilted his head: "Meow?" Are you not angry?
Si Jundao: "I just want to use your mysterious reputation to punish the Qinglian Sect. It doesn't matter if you behave too much."
Liu Xun: "Meow?" Qinglian taught.
Si Jun explained something about the Qinglian Sect: "Probably someone who supports the Qinglian Sect, let him make trouble in Jingzhou, and slow down our development."
Liu Xun changed his position in Si Jun's arms, lying on his stomach in the peasant's position, and listened to Si Jun's explanation of Qinglian Sect.
The matter of the Qinglian Sect is easy to say, although other forces have their own affairs, and they cannot control Yizhou and Jingzhou for the time being.But Yizhou was originally the largest state in Kyushu, and Si Jun's influence was already strong enough.If Jingzhou is annexed, Si Jun is equivalent to gaining the power to compete in the Central Plains.Even if other places have been "unified", Si Jun can compete with him only by relying on Yizhou and Jingzhou.
Now that other forces are still standing in line to integrate, Si Jun has already possessed such a large force in advance, how could it not be dreadful.
But now they can't confront Si Jun head-on, they can only use some means to delay Si Jun's progress in integrating Jingzhou.
Although Yizhou is big, Si Jun was despised by other forces before.After all, he is so young that people can't help but feel that "you can't do things well without a hair on your mouth".
What's more, Si Jun has almost broken with the Si family, and without the support of the family, these noble families can't suppress their sense of superiority. They feel that no matter how capable Si Jun is, not many people will go to him and trust him.
Who knew that Si Jun secretly stowed His Majesty the Emperor to his territory and took Jingzhou.
Oh, it may be His Majesty the Emperor who took Jingzhou, and it may be His Majesty the Emperor who is behind Si Jun.Although His Majesty the Emperor is also young, and even though His Majesty the Emperor does not have the background of aristocratic family support, just because he is His Majesty the Emperor, Si Jun's previous disadvantages have been overthrown.
Seeing how easy it is for Jingzhou to surrender, you will know it.
Moreover, what happened in Jingzhou severely slapped them in the face of their propaganda that His Majesty the Emperor is a puppet and Si Jun is a traitor.Some people and forces loyal to the Han Dynasty also began to approach Yizhou secretly, and some talented people even started to hurry.
Even the counselors and generals inside these forces are a little panicked.
It is said that they are disappointed with the Han Dynasty, but in fact the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years and has become a kind of belief.Now, as long as His Majesty the Emperor shows a little bit of power that may stabilize the world, these people can't wait to flock here to support the Han Dynasty.
What's more, His Majesty the Emperor has not shown a little bit.
"It's too late for them to find out now." Si Jun pinched the cat's raised ears and was slapped by the cat with a meat pad. place of defeat."
Liu Xun rolled his eyes, thinking about their current measures in detail.Libraries, academies and printing techniques can attract talents, new crops can stabilize the hearts of the people, and the military skills that Si Jun learned from Mu Yan can strengthen military power... They stand on the shoulders of giants, as long as they are not chaotic, Even if people make trouble?
Liu Xun narrowed his eyes and meowed triumphantly.He thinks it's perfectly fine, kidding.
Si Jun smiled: "Don't underestimate them. Maybe they find that they can't beat us, so they go to the barbarians."
Liu Xun hit Si Jun on the arm with the cat's tail, do you insist on talking about the black history of that unlucky guy you traveled through?
But... it wouldn't really happen, would it?Liu Xun fell into deep thought.
Si Jun gently stroked Liu Xun's smooth fur. The fatigue of these days gradually calmed down while stroking the cat.
----------------
Si Jun didn't punish Liu Xun to write a self-criticism because Liu Xun "revealed the future", but he also repeatedly urged Liu Xun to say less about these things.Some things should be spoken at the right time to have the greatest benefit.
Liu Xun first swears with his (un)favorite little dried fish, but in Si Jun's smile, with a mournful face, he swears with iced watermelon instead.
Although iced watermelon is only eaten in summer, it is also one of Liu Xun's favorite fruits. Liu Xun's vow finally has a little bit of sincerity.
And because he made those four people sick from fright, he couldn't sneak out to play anymore, so he could only work with Si Jun listlessly.
And after these four people got sick, they believed even more that the future revealed by Liu Xun was real. Our emperor, His Majesty, does have miraculous abilities.
Otherwise, how could they suddenly get sick if they were doing well?
Liu Xun: Because it was raining on the way back to the city, you got caught in the rain first and then got scared by me, that's why you got sick, it's not a curse.
Well, now Liu Xun finally understands Su Yi's helplessness.They say that it is the punishment of the gods, but it is not me who is punished by the gods.
Because Li Ang was very powerful, in order to show their ability, the Du family in Jingzhou joined forces with other prominent families to quickly clean up the remnants of the Qinglian Sect who entered Jingzhou. show mercy.
He took the army into Jingzhou, and that's what he used.
What's more, part of the army loyal to Liu Jing was broken up and reorganized by him, and his power in Jingzhou was the strongest even without the support of the Du family.
Li Ang is also good at instigating together and defeating each other. This group of aristocratic families in Jingzhou has been spoiled by Liu Jing, and it is not as difficult as it was when he followed Si Jun back then.
Li Ang even felt a little bored.
The "stall" Liu Xun left for him was too tidy, and most of Jingzhou was sincerely obedient, and the process of his succession as Jingzhou Mu was too open and upright, in line with righteousness—the emperor personally accepted his fate, and Liu Jing personally handed over, leaving room for him to operate Not much.
With Li Ang being so powerful, Si Jun's work pressure is much less.He said that as long as Li Ang governs Jingzhou well, he will be unambiguous in the slightest if he asks for money to give money and asks for people to give.
Li Ang wrote back, as long as he and Si Jun became colleagues in the same place in the future, he would go to Si Jun's house for a meal, and it would be fine if Si Jun didn't drive him out.
Si Jun ruthlessly rejected Li Ang.
Li Ang was angry.He promised to be a good friend, a good subordinate, and he didn't even give him a meal.It's better for His Majesty the Emperor, saying that he will definitely help him.
However, although the remnants of the Qinglian Sect in Jingzhou were wiped out, the ideas they preached were still spreading. Li Ang expressed that he hoped that Si Jun would work harder and pretend to be a ghost more.
After Li Ang went through the trial, he learned that many forces had sent people into Chengdu to infiltrate the bureaucratic mansion. Perhaps their ultimate goal was to enter the little emperor's side and gain the little emperor's trust.
Among them, there are many magic sticks.
Everyone knows the routine of fighting for world hegemony. In addition to talents, troops and ordinary people, fighting public opinion is also a part of it.Therefore, there must always be one or two Taoist priests and monks around each power master, pretending to be gods and ghosts, oh no, worshiping the sky and divination.
Perhaps this group of people has already mixed into the Taoist monks, waiting to use various mystical techniques to deal with His Majesty the Emperor.
After Liu Xun found out, he thumped the table and laughed loudly: "Use mystic arts to deal with me? Is it the art of witchcraft, curse, or charm? Hahahahahaha! My backhand is a bunch of fireballs! Scared them to tears!"
Si Jun was a little worried.I have even encountered such things as time travel, system, and cat monsters. Maybe there is really some kind of expert?
Liu Xun said with a smile: "If there is really a master, it is the master who should be worried. As a time traveler who is the incarnation of luck, the child of the plane, whoever uses mystical skills to deal with me will definitely be repelled. Don't worry. You are really Worry, at worst, let the magic stick enlighten me?"
Si Jun was helpless.How did Su Yi consecrate you?Give you a stack of experiment records, or give you a pile of elementary school textbooks?
It's better to let two cats slap two plum blossom marks on Liu Xun's forehead. After all, they are cat demons, maybe it will be useful.
Liu Xun said that it would be better if he turned himself into a cat.
Finally, after thinking about it, Si Jun decided to try it out at the Double Ninth Festival banquet.He released the news, so that perfunctory people can recommend alchemists who he thinks are more reliable, and ask them to divination the future of the big man.
Liu Xun expressed understanding: "Do I need to make tofu at the banquet or do the experiment of turning stone into gold and dripping water into ice?"
Although the origin of tofu is said to be made by Liu An, the king of Huainan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun has never seen tofu. This tofu was made after Si Jun came to Yizhou.
But tofu is already a common food in Yizhou, so he can't fool people with tofu, right?It is more interesting to turn a stone into gold and a drop of water into ice.
Seeing Liu Xun's eagerness to try, Si Jun stopped him: "Why do you lower yourself to argue with these alchemists? I will send someone to expose the alchemists' tricks. Xiaocao just sit on the Diaoyutai."
Liu Xun lay on the table: "Oh, then I'll be the mascot? That's so boring."
Si Jun said: "...You can play as you like."
Liu Xun immediately stood up: "You said that!"
Si Jun was helpless: "I said it. But you messed up this time, and you have to listen to me in the future."
Anyway, they were just alchemists with no status, even if they messed up, it wouldn't matter, he could make up for it.
Liu Xun made fun of him: "It's as if I don't listen to you usually." I'm so good.jpg.
Si Jun raised his eyebrows.
----------------
After the news spread that Si Jun held a banquet in the name of His Majesty the Emperor and invited alchemists, priests, monks, etc. to the banquet, Kong Jin and the other four absolutely did not believe it, not to mention what other people thought, that His Majesty the Emperor was interested in these.
Fu Fengren said little, only thinking about it in his heart, Kong Jin visited Zhai Yang and Chen Wen to discuss this matter.
Di Yang sarcastically said: "Who said His Majesty the Emperor believed these alchemists? His Majesty took me over and over again to criticize the pills enough to force me to quit the pills. Your Majesty wants to call people to make alchemy? Huh?"
Chen Wen nodded: "Your Majesty himself has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, what kind of national destiny do you need?"
Kong Jin said: "Jin thinks so too. Is His Majesty's move related to Qinglian Sect?"
Di Yang and Chen Wen pondered for a while, then nodded at the same time.
The three of them were the top group of smart people. After they determined that His Majesty did not need these alchemists, they quickly deduced His Majesty's intentions.
Zhai Yang said with a smile: "This banquet will be fun to watch."
Chen Wen frowned: "Your Majesty won't let it slip again, right? Wen sees that His Majesty doesn't seem to care about deriving the future."
Kong Jin said: "His Majesty doesn't care, but Zhou Mu must."
The other two nodded.As insiders, they discussed how to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor and the State Shepherd at the banquet.
Although their current official positions are not high, they are all inexplicably confident that they must have their own invitations to the banquet this time.
In fact it is.Liu Xun is still waiting for the three of them to get acquainted with other people in Yizhou at this banquet.
In the future, everyone will be colleagues who have to work overtime together, and we must get along well.
Except for the four people who knew the truth, some of the others knew Si Jun well, and they also deduced that this banquet was not as simple as watching alchemists perform.And some people have a single mind, or they really believe in this, and they really look around for alchemists, hoping to make a big splash at the banquet and get a recommendation.
Some people who thought that alchemists were disrupting the country went home and wrote vigorously, criticizing the matter, saying that it is absolutely unacceptable to trust alchemists.
Liu Xun had read all these notes, and even picked out the names of the people who had said something particularly good and wrote them down.
In this day and age, people who are not feudal and superstitious at all are rare. If these people are also good at other things, they can be reused.
Si Jun saw that Liu Xun's evaluation criteria were so flippant, but he didn't persuade him.
He knew that although Liu Xun was young, he knew very well.And the criteria he chose were odd, but they worked surprisingly well.
In the matter of pacifying Yizhou, his selection of talents was decided after discussing with Liu Xun.The people recommended by Liu Xun all had good results in the end.
Si Jun thought to himself, probably being a leader, knowing and employing people, is also talented.
……
The time soon came to the day of the Double Ninth Festival banquet.
Although he didn't need to wear a dress and a crown, Liu Xun still wore a uniform that symbolized the emperor.
These are all new works, Si Jun will not let him continue to wear the old clothes of the late emperor.
Liu Xun felt that those clothes were all hand-woven, so expensive, and they just threw them away like this, which made her feel distressed.Can we come to an auction or something, and get back a wave of blood.
Si Jun can only answer him with six points.
Auctioning the emperor's clothes, luckily he could figure it out.Who dares to buy this?Treason?
Liu Xun: "Anyway, many forces are preparing to conspire, and they might buy it."
Si Jun let out a chuckle, then threw all the clothes and burned them in front of the Liu family's ancestors.Think of it as burning clothes for the ancestors to wear.
Liu Xun was depressed for a long time because of this.
It's really uncomfortable to burn the clothes I'm used to wearing.
Even with new clothes to wear, he still feels uncomfortable.
He is such a stingy little emperor, so he didn't run away.
During the Double Ninth Festival banquet, the guests filed in one after another. As the emperor, Liu Xun naturally came late, even later than Si Jun.
In fact, he was bored waiting for someone to call him out.
When he was in the palace, there were not so many rules.
Yu Ze doesn't know how to create momentum for the emperor.
When Liu Xun once again made a grand appearance after summoning Yizhou officials for the first time, the mentality of Yizhou officials was completely different.
The voices of their salutes were much louder, and the expressions on their salutes were much more sincere.
Liu Xun glanced at the people present at the banquet, and lingered for a while on a few people who were obviously dressed as "outsiders", and said: "Dear dears, I will enjoy the Double Ninth Festival with you, and there is no need to be restrained. "
Everyone got up.
Liu Xun sat alone in the first place, watching the people below began to exchange feelings and whispers to each other while taking advantage of the singing and dancing, and suddenly felt lonely.
There was no one around him to talk to.
Could it be that he was the only one who was silent throughout the banquet?Isn't this going to suffocate him?
So Liu Xun acted like a demon unhappily, and he asked the maid to ask Si Jun to sit and talk with him.
Si Jun replied through the maid, asking him to bear it.This banquet is for him to impress. He must insist on the distinction between monarch and minister, and build up his obedient image, so that the people in Yizhou will not think that Yizhou is dominated by him.
Liu Xun endured a song and dance, and sent the maid to call Si Jun again.
The maid shivered and sent a message: "Your Majesty said, if Zhou Mu can't sit up and talk with him, he will come down and sit with you."
Si Jun: "..."
All the officials who eavesdropped: "..."
Si Jun frowned.He was wrong, he shouldn't have given Liu Xun a separate table and chair just to show the majesty of the emperor.He should arrange the tables in an ellipse or rectangle, so that there are people sitting on both sides of Liu Xun, talking with him to relieve boredom.
"Hurry up, company." Gong Yu suppressed a smile, "Your Majesty is probably bored."
Si Jun smiled wryly: "Your Majesty always has a way to get what you want."
Gong Yu laughed loudly: "No way, that's His Majesty."
Si Jun sighed, looked up and saw that Liu Xun had ordered someone to add tables and chairs, he thought it was good that Liu Xun dressed up and didn't let himself be side by side with him, otherwise this matter would not end well.
After the tables and chairs were placed, Si Juncai got up and walked to the newly added tables and chairs to sit down.
Liu Xun blinked at Si Jun.
Si Jun sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, will watching songs and dances be boring?"
Liu Xun pretended to be wronged: "It's boring, no one talks to me, I can't talk to myself."
Si Jun said: "Your Majesty can watch quietly."
Liu Xun said: "That's so boring, I need someone to share my feelings after watching the song and dance."
Si Jun: "...Do you still have to submit a post-view review?"
Liu Xun shut up.But his goal has been achieved, and it doesn't matter if he shuts up.
Seeing that Si Jun changed his position, Yizhou officials whispered.Someone spread the news that the maid repeatedly invited Si Jun to take the seat, Fu Shou sighed: "Your Majesty wants to show everyone how much he values Si Jun."
Fu Feng said expressionlessly: "No, I think His Majesty is just bored because no one talks to him."
Fu Shou: "..."
He couldn't help knocking Fu Feng's head: "What nonsense."
Fu Feng sighed.
Fu Feng's two elder brothers began to pull Fu Feng secretly and said, "Why do you say that?"
Fu Feng glanced at Fu Shou, and Fu Shou gave him a threatening look.
Then Fu Feng glanced back without hesitation at all, and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are not as complicated as we thought. Your Majesty is a person of deep affection and nature. He has never thought about beating or concealing meaning. This move only needs to be done." Just think about it in the simplest way. Seeing that His Majesty is bored, he must just want to talk to the company. If you don’t believe me, look, after the company is seated, His Majesty will never stop talking."
Pay the life support amount.
Fu Feng's two elder brothers immediately looked up to the first place.
Oh, it is true that His Majesty the Emperor's serious expression has changed into a very happy one, and he has been opening and closing his mouth facing Si Jun, and it hasn't stopped yet.
Well, although I think His Majesty the Emperor is not so stupid and sweet, what should I do if I believe my little brother for no reason?After all, my younger brother seems to be very familiar with His Majesty the Emperor.
Someone also asked Gong Yu about this, and Gong Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, how can we guess randomly? After all, it is because of the deep friendship with the company."
When he said this, others naturally...don't believe it.
There must be a conspiracy, maybe His Majesty the Emperor and Si Jun have begun to have a gap!They have to consider standing in line!
Because Zhai Yang's official position is not high, although he attended the banquet, his position was very low.He listened to the whispers around him, and laughed in his heart, and couldn't help showing a little bit on his face.
There are also many mediocre people in Yizhou.
Chen Wen tugged on Zhai Yang's sleeve, telling him to hold back and stop mocking.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Zhai Yang's eyes.Why is Chen Wen staring at him all the time? His father didn't take care of him like that, he was upset.
Kong Jin kept a low profile as always, pretending he didn't notice it.But what he thought was similar to Zhai Yang's, and there were so many mediocre people in Yizhou, it was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about these common etiquettes, and was just looking for someone to chat with.If you mediocre people insist on using your brains that are not good at conspiracy to make conspiracy theories, you can only go against what His Majesty the Emperor thinks.
At least when you are brainstorming about the power confrontation between the company and His Majesty the Emperor, can you see the expressions of the two?His Majesty the Emperor smiled so brightly, and the company smiled so softly.
But Kong Jin didn't feel that the atmosphere between the two was obedient.Because in this era, the relationship between monarchs and ministers and close friends is more intimate and sticky than husband and wife lovers.The relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Sizhou Mu is very natural and normal, which makes people not think too much about it.
Si Jun took advantage of watching the singing and dancing, and glanced at the expressions of the people below.
Liu Xun asked: "What? What did you see?"
Si Jun said: "The people in Yizhou are not so unified."
Liu Xun said: "That's natural. As long as they don't do bad things, I don't care what little things they have in their hearts. As long as they show their feet, they can be caught and spanked. By the way, don't you mean alchemists? I'm waiting to see the show." , why there are only some singing and dancing, not even drama.”
Si Jun was helpless: "At this time, the drama hasn't appeared yet."
The two waved the maids back, the singing and dancing were loud enough, and the two lowered their voices so that others could not hear what they said, so they had no scruples in chatting.
Liu Xun said: "Ah, is that right? I'm quite interested. But now that I'm doing drama, I'm sure people will say that I'm a playboy, alas."
Si Jun said: "It will be fine when the world is settled down. Your Majesty can use other names to develop drama."
Liu Xun rubbed his chin and said, "That's right, I can use the name of promoting heroic deeds. When will you let alchemists perform. I'm so bored."
Si Jun had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's stop watching the singing and dancing, and go straight to the point. Your Majesty will announce that you have an audience. Remember to say that it's time to change."
Liu Xun said: "Okay, okay, what happened to Zheng Zeng?"
Si Jun: "..." Isn't this a flat tongue and a nasal voice playing very smoothly?
With Si Jun's permission, Liu Xun hurriedly asked people to stop singing and dancing, and summoned alchemists and Taoists.
At first he thought there were monks and nuns, but now Buddhism is not very prosperous, and these people were screened out before they met him.
After all, these "foreigners" were brought to the banquet by officials, and the officials had to be responsible for the people they recommended.
The officials were not stupid. After screening, these people at least fooled them—even they couldn't fool them, how could they fool His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, there were only 12 alchemists who could meet with him.
Liu Xun glanced at the names of the 12 people presented, and said, "Yu Shi, Fang Yuan, Ping Zhu, and Zhou An? These four people are all here? This makes me a little interested. But what about the official Ming?" Not among them? It’s really a pity that five are missing one.”
Because the singing and dancing had stopped, and Liu Xun's voice was not low, everyone in the room heard what Liu Xun said, and they were suddenly startled.
The twelve alchemists were sweating even more, not knowing what His Majesty the Emperor meant.
Liu Xun was a little surprised. The people he mentioned were all famous capable people and strangers in history, and there are many legendary stories.Why did he point out the names of these people, but they had such expressions.
Si Jun had no choice but to whisper in Liu Xun's ear: "These people became famous more than ten years later, Mingguan may not be born now."
Liu Xun suddenly said: "Oh, so it is."
He only remembered that these people were very famous, but it turned out that they were not famous at this time.
Liu Xun saw that he was all pretending, so he continued to pretend: "Mingguan was not born yet, I remembered wrongly. Well, then the four people I just read, you stand aside first, I first Test the rest."
Although the alchemists didn't understand why, His Majesty the Emperor had spoken, and four young men walked aside with his attendants.
The expressions of the people present are even more exciting.
Whoever chooses the alchemist is the person who trusts the white hair and youthful face more, and looks more immortal.Although they also selected a lot of young people, accounting for half, His Majesty the Emperor directly selected four young people, which surprised them very much.
In the end, Liu Xun was even more surprised than them: "You four are Yu Shi, Fang Yuan, Ping Zhu and Zhou An? So you are so young."
Everyone: "..."
So, Your Majesty, do you not know them at all? !So why did you choose the four of them?
Yu Shi and the other four were also frightened.Although they are somewhat famous among the people, they are not very famous.This time they just came to Chengdu in a hurry because they smelled the taste of becoming famous.
Although they may not stay in Chengdu in the end and stay with the emperor, as long as they do some miraculous things around His Majesty, their reputation will definitely be established at once, and they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
But His Majesty the Emperor is completely different from the dignitaries and dignitaries they have seen, and he does not act according to common sense at all.This suddenly disturbed their mood.
What's more, they are still young people now, but they are not very sophisticated.
Chen Wen and Zhai Yang exchanged a clear look.They said, this group of alchemists are no match for His Majesty the Emperor.His Majesty the Emperor must have seen through them long ago.
Kong Jin looked curiously at the four people named by His Majesty, guessing what abilities they had that His Majesty would remember.
Fu Feng whispered to his father: "Your Majesty looks down on these alchemists at all, and I don't know why His Majesty summoned the alchemists."
Fu Shou said: "Your Majesty has his own reasons, shut up and watch."
But Gong Yu and other Si Jun's confidantes watched His Majesty the Emperor's performance with a look of interest on their faces.
They have heard Si Jun say countless times that His Majesty the Emperor is not an ordinary person, and they have always been curious.Maybe now, we can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of His Majesty's magic?
Liu Xun was just surprised, and then turned his attention to the other eight people.
Liu Xun said: "It is recorded in this list that you all know alchemy, divination, and matchmaking. All alchemists say they know how to do these things. Tell me what you are best at and what magic you can show me."
The eight alchemists looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to do.
Liu Xun pointed to the far right and said, "Let's start with you."
That year, the old alchemist stepped forward neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Pindao is best at alchemy. Pindao can show His Majesty the art of turning water into ice."
Liu Xun raised his eyebrows: "Oh, dripping into ice? Have you brought everything?"
The old alchemist said: "The East and West Poor Taoists have sent a Taoist boy to bring them here, and they can show them to His Majesty at any time."
The officials below whispered to each other, and they were all very interested in dripping water into ice.
Liu Xun asked people to stand aside first, and said: "A drop of water turns into ice, among the seven of you, who can do this?"
The hearts of the seven thumped a little, not knowing what Liu Xun meant by this.
They hesitated for a while, and four more people stood up, saying that they would do it too, but this time they were not prepared.
Liu Xun didn't ask the four people what they had prepared, but only asked them to explain how they managed to make a drop of water turn into ice, and let them speak one by one.
Both the officials and alchemists could see that Liu Xun wanted them to expose each other's faults.
But a drop of water turns into ice has formed a unified set of rhetoric among the alchemists. Although they haven't checked their lines in advance, they still use the most commonly used ones.
What vitality, what chill, what essence of heaven and earth, all in all, this matter is very mysterious, you must practice, you must break through the mysteries of heaven and earth, and only then can a drop of water turn into ice.
Liu Xun smiled but said, "Oh? It's so amazing? You go to the side first, and I'll ask other people what skills they have."
Liu Xun said to the three people who said that they couldn't turn water into ice, "Since the three of you don't know how to turn water into ice, aren't your skills inferior to those Taoist priests?"
"That's not the case, we just don't practice the same way." The Taoist priest with a good face smiled, and he really looked like a fairy.
But Liu Xun thought about Su Yi, um, he still pretended not to be like Su Yi.Su Yi is like a magic stick from the bottom of his heart, this is just a skin image.
Liu Xun asked: "Then what do you practice? Isn't it alchemy?"
The Taoist said: "Pin Dao is good at refining five stone powder."
Liu Xun said: "Drag out and go to prison."
Not only the Taoist priest, but everyone else was shocked. The Taoist priest knelt down and kowtowed, not knowing where to offend Liu Xun.
Liu Xun said slowly: "Wu Shi San was originally passed down from the court, I don't know what Wu Shi San is? Wu Shi San is just an aphrodisiac, and it is very poisonous. The so-called cold food, drinking warm wine, Taking cold baths, walking, wearing thin old clothes, and using medicines to emit toxicity only slows down the onset of toxicity. Five stone powder overdraws a person's energy, and then the person will age quickly."
"Even if there is no immediate poisoning due to wrong steps, if you take it for a long time, your tongue will shrink into your throat, carbuncles will sink into your back, and your spine will rot, causing people to commit suicide in pain."
As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, many officials directly knocked over the wine cups in front of them.
Liu Xun sneered: "This is the chronic poison given to the emperor by the eunuch's relatives in order to control the emperor. I managed to escape the catastrophe. Why do people still want to poison people?"
Make up a reason and put a high hat on it, and I will see who will promote Wushi San in the future, heh heh.
Liu Xun tried his best to open his eyes wide, letting Si Jun look at his innocent and helpless eyes.
Si Jun folded his hands, raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Xun, unmoved.
Liu Xun suddenly turned into a kitten with round black eyes, squatting obediently, trying to look up at Si Jun with an innocent and helpless expression.
Si Jun suddenly felt a little itchy.
Liu Xun's cat ears moved, keenly sensing the sense of crisis, and "bang" turned into a big cat with golden back hair and white belly.
The big cat squatting with its front paws together, its fluffy face looks very serious and serious.
Si Jun said: "Why did you change the cat?"
The big cat tilted its head: "Meow." I feel like you are about to beat me up.
Although you can't speak in reality, you can communicate with your friends telepathically and systemically translate.
Si Jun thought to himself, no matter how cute Xiao Yue's cat is, after so many years of watching him act like a slut, now that he sees the dark circles under his eyes, he wants to beat him up so that the black circles under his eyes will become blacker and blacker.No matter how cute and innocent the black-eyed kitten is, he can see the subtext of "Come on, pretend" from this expression.
I can't believe how Le Zhengyuan endured it for so many years, and still became a partner with Xiao Yue.
However, Le Zhengyuan's mouth is also quite poisonous, and he often makes Xiao Yue speechless.
Chu Ming is still cute.Looking at this serious cat face, I feel very reliable.
Si Jun grabbed Liu Xun by the back of the neck and lifted Liu Xun into his arms: "Do you think I will forgive you if you become a cat?"
Liu Xun also put on a flattering expression, gave a sweet "meow", and arched his head back and forth in Si Jun's arms.
Si Jun's eyebrows twitched.Using Chu Ming's cat face to make Xiao Xiaojian's expression is still very itchy.
Liu Xun: "Meow meow." Anyway, it doesn't matter if you say it, right? "
Si Jun said: "It doesn't matter, but they pester you to predict what to do."
Liu Xun raised a cat's paw, and "whoosh" popped out the nail: "Meow!" As the emperor, who dares to force me!
Si Jun squeezed Liu Xun's meat pad, and Liu Xun obediently retracted his paw: "Take it easy from now on."
Liu Xun tilted his head: "Meow?" Are you not angry?
Si Jundao: "I just want to use your mysterious reputation to punish the Qinglian Sect. It doesn't matter if you behave too much."
Liu Xun: "Meow?" Qinglian taught.
Si Jun explained something about the Qinglian Sect: "Probably someone who supports the Qinglian Sect, let him make trouble in Jingzhou, and slow down our development."
Liu Xun changed his position in Si Jun's arms, lying on his stomach in the peasant's position, and listened to Si Jun's explanation of Qinglian Sect.
The matter of the Qinglian Sect is easy to say, although other forces have their own affairs, and they cannot control Yizhou and Jingzhou for the time being.But Yizhou was originally the largest state in Kyushu, and Si Jun's influence was already strong enough.If Jingzhou is annexed, Si Jun is equivalent to gaining the power to compete in the Central Plains.Even if other places have been "unified", Si Jun can compete with him only by relying on Yizhou and Jingzhou.
Now that other forces are still standing in line to integrate, Si Jun has already possessed such a large force in advance, how could it not be dreadful.
But now they can't confront Si Jun head-on, they can only use some means to delay Si Jun's progress in integrating Jingzhou.
Although Yizhou is big, Si Jun was despised by other forces before.After all, he is so young that people can't help but feel that "you can't do things well without a hair on your mouth".
What's more, Si Jun has almost broken with the Si family, and without the support of the family, these noble families can't suppress their sense of superiority. They feel that no matter how capable Si Jun is, not many people will go to him and trust him.
Who knew that Si Jun secretly stowed His Majesty the Emperor to his territory and took Jingzhou.
Oh, it may be His Majesty the Emperor who took Jingzhou, and it may be His Majesty the Emperor who is behind Si Jun.Although His Majesty the Emperor is also young, and even though His Majesty the Emperor does not have the background of aristocratic family support, just because he is His Majesty the Emperor, Si Jun's previous disadvantages have been overthrown.
Seeing how easy it is for Jingzhou to surrender, you will know it.
Moreover, what happened in Jingzhou severely slapped them in the face of their propaganda that His Majesty the Emperor is a puppet and Si Jun is a traitor.Some people and forces loyal to the Han Dynasty also began to approach Yizhou secretly, and some talented people even started to hurry.
Even the counselors and generals inside these forces are a little panicked.
It is said that they are disappointed with the Han Dynasty, but in fact the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years and has become a kind of belief.Now, as long as His Majesty the Emperor shows a little bit of power that may stabilize the world, these people can't wait to flock here to support the Han Dynasty.
What's more, His Majesty the Emperor has not shown a little bit.
"It's too late for them to find out now." Si Jun pinched the cat's raised ears and was slapped by the cat with a meat pad. place of defeat."
Liu Xun rolled his eyes, thinking about their current measures in detail.Libraries, academies and printing techniques can attract talents, new crops can stabilize the hearts of the people, and the military skills that Si Jun learned from Mu Yan can strengthen military power... They stand on the shoulders of giants, as long as they are not chaotic, Even if people make trouble?
Liu Xun narrowed his eyes and meowed triumphantly.He thinks it's perfectly fine, kidding.
Si Jun smiled: "Don't underestimate them. Maybe they find that they can't beat us, so they go to the barbarians."
Liu Xun hit Si Jun on the arm with the cat's tail, do you insist on talking about the black history of that unlucky guy you traveled through?
But... it wouldn't really happen, would it?Liu Xun fell into deep thought.
Si Jun gently stroked Liu Xun's smooth fur. The fatigue of these days gradually calmed down while stroking the cat.
----------------
Si Jun didn't punish Liu Xun to write a self-criticism because Liu Xun "revealed the future", but he also repeatedly urged Liu Xun to say less about these things.Some things should be spoken at the right time to have the greatest benefit.
Liu Xun first swears with his (un)favorite little dried fish, but in Si Jun's smile, with a mournful face, he swears with iced watermelon instead.
Although iced watermelon is only eaten in summer, it is also one of Liu Xun's favorite fruits. Liu Xun's vow finally has a little bit of sincerity.
And because he made those four people sick from fright, he couldn't sneak out to play anymore, so he could only work with Si Jun listlessly.
And after these four people got sick, they believed even more that the future revealed by Liu Xun was real. Our emperor, His Majesty, does have miraculous abilities.
Otherwise, how could they suddenly get sick if they were doing well?
Liu Xun: Because it was raining on the way back to the city, you got caught in the rain first and then got scared by me, that's why you got sick, it's not a curse.
Well, now Liu Xun finally understands Su Yi's helplessness.They say that it is the punishment of the gods, but it is not me who is punished by the gods.
Because Li Ang was very powerful, in order to show their ability, the Du family in Jingzhou joined forces with other prominent families to quickly clean up the remnants of the Qinglian Sect who entered Jingzhou. show mercy.
He took the army into Jingzhou, and that's what he used.
What's more, part of the army loyal to Liu Jing was broken up and reorganized by him, and his power in Jingzhou was the strongest even without the support of the Du family.
Li Ang is also good at instigating together and defeating each other. This group of aristocratic families in Jingzhou has been spoiled by Liu Jing, and it is not as difficult as it was when he followed Si Jun back then.
Li Ang even felt a little bored.
The "stall" Liu Xun left for him was too tidy, and most of Jingzhou was sincerely obedient, and the process of his succession as Jingzhou Mu was too open and upright, in line with righteousness—the emperor personally accepted his fate, and Liu Jing personally handed over, leaving room for him to operate Not much.
With Li Ang being so powerful, Si Jun's work pressure is much less.He said that as long as Li Ang governs Jingzhou well, he will be unambiguous in the slightest if he asks for money to give money and asks for people to give.
Li Ang wrote back, as long as he and Si Jun became colleagues in the same place in the future, he would go to Si Jun's house for a meal, and it would be fine if Si Jun didn't drive him out.
Si Jun ruthlessly rejected Li Ang.
Li Ang was angry.He promised to be a good friend, a good subordinate, and he didn't even give him a meal.It's better for His Majesty the Emperor, saying that he will definitely help him.
However, although the remnants of the Qinglian Sect in Jingzhou were wiped out, the ideas they preached were still spreading. Li Ang expressed that he hoped that Si Jun would work harder and pretend to be a ghost more.
After Li Ang went through the trial, he learned that many forces had sent people into Chengdu to infiltrate the bureaucratic mansion. Perhaps their ultimate goal was to enter the little emperor's side and gain the little emperor's trust.
Among them, there are many magic sticks.
Everyone knows the routine of fighting for world hegemony. In addition to talents, troops and ordinary people, fighting public opinion is also a part of it.Therefore, there must always be one or two Taoist priests and monks around each power master, pretending to be gods and ghosts, oh no, worshiping the sky and divination.
Perhaps this group of people has already mixed into the Taoist monks, waiting to use various mystical techniques to deal with His Majesty the Emperor.
After Liu Xun found out, he thumped the table and laughed loudly: "Use mystic arts to deal with me? Is it the art of witchcraft, curse, or charm? Hahahahahaha! My backhand is a bunch of fireballs! Scared them to tears!"
Si Jun was a little worried.I have even encountered such things as time travel, system, and cat monsters. Maybe there is really some kind of expert?
Liu Xun said with a smile: "If there is really a master, it is the master who should be worried. As a time traveler who is the incarnation of luck, the child of the plane, whoever uses mystical skills to deal with me will definitely be repelled. Don't worry. You are really Worry, at worst, let the magic stick enlighten me?"
Si Jun was helpless.How did Su Yi consecrate you?Give you a stack of experiment records, or give you a pile of elementary school textbooks?
It's better to let two cats slap two plum blossom marks on Liu Xun's forehead. After all, they are cat demons, maybe it will be useful.
Liu Xun said that it would be better if he turned himself into a cat.
Finally, after thinking about it, Si Jun decided to try it out at the Double Ninth Festival banquet.He released the news, so that perfunctory people can recommend alchemists who he thinks are more reliable, and ask them to divination the future of the big man.
Liu Xun expressed understanding: "Do I need to make tofu at the banquet or do the experiment of turning stone into gold and dripping water into ice?"
Although the origin of tofu is said to be made by Liu An, the king of Huainan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun has never seen tofu. This tofu was made after Si Jun came to Yizhou.
But tofu is already a common food in Yizhou, so he can't fool people with tofu, right?It is more interesting to turn a stone into gold and a drop of water into ice.
Seeing Liu Xun's eagerness to try, Si Jun stopped him: "Why do you lower yourself to argue with these alchemists? I will send someone to expose the alchemists' tricks. Xiaocao just sit on the Diaoyutai."
Liu Xun lay on the table: "Oh, then I'll be the mascot? That's so boring."
Si Jun said: "...You can play as you like."
Liu Xun immediately stood up: "You said that!"
Si Jun was helpless: "I said it. But you messed up this time, and you have to listen to me in the future."
Anyway, they were just alchemists with no status, even if they messed up, it wouldn't matter, he could make up for it.
Liu Xun made fun of him: "It's as if I don't listen to you usually." I'm so good.jpg.
Si Jun raised his eyebrows.
----------------
After the news spread that Si Jun held a banquet in the name of His Majesty the Emperor and invited alchemists, priests, monks, etc. to the banquet, Kong Jin and the other four absolutely did not believe it, not to mention what other people thought, that His Majesty the Emperor was interested in these.
Fu Fengren said little, only thinking about it in his heart, Kong Jin visited Zhai Yang and Chen Wen to discuss this matter.
Di Yang sarcastically said: "Who said His Majesty the Emperor believed these alchemists? His Majesty took me over and over again to criticize the pills enough to force me to quit the pills. Your Majesty wants to call people to make alchemy? Huh?"
Chen Wen nodded: "Your Majesty himself has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, what kind of national destiny do you need?"
Kong Jin said: "Jin thinks so too. Is His Majesty's move related to Qinglian Sect?"
Di Yang and Chen Wen pondered for a while, then nodded at the same time.
The three of them were the top group of smart people. After they determined that His Majesty did not need these alchemists, they quickly deduced His Majesty's intentions.
Zhai Yang said with a smile: "This banquet will be fun to watch."
Chen Wen frowned: "Your Majesty won't let it slip again, right? Wen sees that His Majesty doesn't seem to care about deriving the future."
Kong Jin said: "His Majesty doesn't care, but Zhou Mu must."
The other two nodded.As insiders, they discussed how to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor and the State Shepherd at the banquet.
Although their current official positions are not high, they are all inexplicably confident that they must have their own invitations to the banquet this time.
In fact it is.Liu Xun is still waiting for the three of them to get acquainted with other people in Yizhou at this banquet.
In the future, everyone will be colleagues who have to work overtime together, and we must get along well.
Except for the four people who knew the truth, some of the others knew Si Jun well, and they also deduced that this banquet was not as simple as watching alchemists perform.And some people have a single mind, or they really believe in this, and they really look around for alchemists, hoping to make a big splash at the banquet and get a recommendation.
Some people who thought that alchemists were disrupting the country went home and wrote vigorously, criticizing the matter, saying that it is absolutely unacceptable to trust alchemists.
Liu Xun had read all these notes, and even picked out the names of the people who had said something particularly good and wrote them down.
In this day and age, people who are not feudal and superstitious at all are rare. If these people are also good at other things, they can be reused.
Si Jun saw that Liu Xun's evaluation criteria were so flippant, but he didn't persuade him.
He knew that although Liu Xun was young, he knew very well.And the criteria he chose were odd, but they worked surprisingly well.
In the matter of pacifying Yizhou, his selection of talents was decided after discussing with Liu Xun.The people recommended by Liu Xun all had good results in the end.
Si Jun thought to himself, probably being a leader, knowing and employing people, is also talented.
……
The time soon came to the day of the Double Ninth Festival banquet.
Although he didn't need to wear a dress and a crown, Liu Xun still wore a uniform that symbolized the emperor.
These are all new works, Si Jun will not let him continue to wear the old clothes of the late emperor.
Liu Xun felt that those clothes were all hand-woven, so expensive, and they just threw them away like this, which made her feel distressed.Can we come to an auction or something, and get back a wave of blood.
Si Jun can only answer him with six points.
Auctioning the emperor's clothes, luckily he could figure it out.Who dares to buy this?Treason?
Liu Xun: "Anyway, many forces are preparing to conspire, and they might buy it."
Si Jun let out a chuckle, then threw all the clothes and burned them in front of the Liu family's ancestors.Think of it as burning clothes for the ancestors to wear.
Liu Xun was depressed for a long time because of this.
It's really uncomfortable to burn the clothes I'm used to wearing.
Even with new clothes to wear, he still feels uncomfortable.
He is such a stingy little emperor, so he didn't run away.
During the Double Ninth Festival banquet, the guests filed in one after another. As the emperor, Liu Xun naturally came late, even later than Si Jun.
In fact, he was bored waiting for someone to call him out.
When he was in the palace, there were not so many rules.
Yu Ze doesn't know how to create momentum for the emperor.
When Liu Xun once again made a grand appearance after summoning Yizhou officials for the first time, the mentality of Yizhou officials was completely different.
The voices of their salutes were much louder, and the expressions on their salutes were much more sincere.
Liu Xun glanced at the people present at the banquet, and lingered for a while on a few people who were obviously dressed as "outsiders", and said: "Dear dears, I will enjoy the Double Ninth Festival with you, and there is no need to be restrained. "
Everyone got up.
Liu Xun sat alone in the first place, watching the people below began to exchange feelings and whispers to each other while taking advantage of the singing and dancing, and suddenly felt lonely.
There was no one around him to talk to.
Could it be that he was the only one who was silent throughout the banquet?Isn't this going to suffocate him?
So Liu Xun acted like a demon unhappily, and he asked the maid to ask Si Jun to sit and talk with him.
Si Jun replied through the maid, asking him to bear it.This banquet is for him to impress. He must insist on the distinction between monarch and minister, and build up his obedient image, so that the people in Yizhou will not think that Yizhou is dominated by him.
Liu Xun endured a song and dance, and sent the maid to call Si Jun again.
The maid shivered and sent a message: "Your Majesty said, if Zhou Mu can't sit up and talk with him, he will come down and sit with you."
Si Jun: "..."
All the officials who eavesdropped: "..."
Si Jun frowned.He was wrong, he shouldn't have given Liu Xun a separate table and chair just to show the majesty of the emperor.He should arrange the tables in an ellipse or rectangle, so that there are people sitting on both sides of Liu Xun, talking with him to relieve boredom.
"Hurry up, company." Gong Yu suppressed a smile, "Your Majesty is probably bored."
Si Jun smiled wryly: "Your Majesty always has a way to get what you want."
Gong Yu laughed loudly: "No way, that's His Majesty."
Si Jun sighed, looked up and saw that Liu Xun had ordered someone to add tables and chairs, he thought it was good that Liu Xun dressed up and didn't let himself be side by side with him, otherwise this matter would not end well.
After the tables and chairs were placed, Si Juncai got up and walked to the newly added tables and chairs to sit down.
Liu Xun blinked at Si Jun.
Si Jun sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, will watching songs and dances be boring?"
Liu Xun pretended to be wronged: "It's boring, no one talks to me, I can't talk to myself."
Si Jun said: "Your Majesty can watch quietly."
Liu Xun said: "That's so boring, I need someone to share my feelings after watching the song and dance."
Si Jun: "...Do you still have to submit a post-view review?"
Liu Xun shut up.But his goal has been achieved, and it doesn't matter if he shuts up.
Seeing that Si Jun changed his position, Yizhou officials whispered.Someone spread the news that the maid repeatedly invited Si Jun to take the seat, Fu Shou sighed: "Your Majesty wants to show everyone how much he values Si Jun."
Fu Feng said expressionlessly: "No, I think His Majesty is just bored because no one talks to him."
Fu Shou: "..."
He couldn't help knocking Fu Feng's head: "What nonsense."
Fu Feng sighed.
Fu Feng's two elder brothers began to pull Fu Feng secretly and said, "Why do you say that?"
Fu Feng glanced at Fu Shou, and Fu Shou gave him a threatening look.
Then Fu Feng glanced back without hesitation at all, and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are not as complicated as we thought. Your Majesty is a person of deep affection and nature. He has never thought about beating or concealing meaning. This move only needs to be done." Just think about it in the simplest way. Seeing that His Majesty is bored, he must just want to talk to the company. If you don’t believe me, look, after the company is seated, His Majesty will never stop talking."
Pay the life support amount.
Fu Feng's two elder brothers immediately looked up to the first place.
Oh, it is true that His Majesty the Emperor's serious expression has changed into a very happy one, and he has been opening and closing his mouth facing Si Jun, and it hasn't stopped yet.
Well, although I think His Majesty the Emperor is not so stupid and sweet, what should I do if I believe my little brother for no reason?After all, my younger brother seems to be very familiar with His Majesty the Emperor.
Someone also asked Gong Yu about this, and Gong Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, how can we guess randomly? After all, it is because of the deep friendship with the company."
When he said this, others naturally...don't believe it.
There must be a conspiracy, maybe His Majesty the Emperor and Si Jun have begun to have a gap!They have to consider standing in line!
Because Zhai Yang's official position is not high, although he attended the banquet, his position was very low.He listened to the whispers around him, and laughed in his heart, and couldn't help showing a little bit on his face.
There are also many mediocre people in Yizhou.
Chen Wen tugged on Zhai Yang's sleeve, telling him to hold back and stop mocking.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Zhai Yang's eyes.Why is Chen Wen staring at him all the time? His father didn't take care of him like that, he was upset.
Kong Jin kept a low profile as always, pretending he didn't notice it.But what he thought was similar to Zhai Yang's, and there were so many mediocre people in Yizhou, it was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about these common etiquettes, and was just looking for someone to chat with.If you mediocre people insist on using your brains that are not good at conspiracy to make conspiracy theories, you can only go against what His Majesty the Emperor thinks.
At least when you are brainstorming about the power confrontation between the company and His Majesty the Emperor, can you see the expressions of the two?His Majesty the Emperor smiled so brightly, and the company smiled so softly.
But Kong Jin didn't feel that the atmosphere between the two was obedient.Because in this era, the relationship between monarchs and ministers and close friends is more intimate and sticky than husband and wife lovers.The relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Sizhou Mu is very natural and normal, which makes people not think too much about it.
Si Jun took advantage of watching the singing and dancing, and glanced at the expressions of the people below.
Liu Xun asked: "What? What did you see?"
Si Jun said: "The people in Yizhou are not so unified."
Liu Xun said: "That's natural. As long as they don't do bad things, I don't care what little things they have in their hearts. As long as they show their feet, they can be caught and spanked. By the way, don't you mean alchemists? I'm waiting to see the show." , why there are only some singing and dancing, not even drama.”
Si Jun was helpless: "At this time, the drama hasn't appeared yet."
The two waved the maids back, the singing and dancing were loud enough, and the two lowered their voices so that others could not hear what they said, so they had no scruples in chatting.
Liu Xun said: "Ah, is that right? I'm quite interested. But now that I'm doing drama, I'm sure people will say that I'm a playboy, alas."
Si Jun said: "It will be fine when the world is settled down. Your Majesty can use other names to develop drama."
Liu Xun rubbed his chin and said, "That's right, I can use the name of promoting heroic deeds. When will you let alchemists perform. I'm so bored."
Si Jun had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's stop watching the singing and dancing, and go straight to the point. Your Majesty will announce that you have an audience. Remember to say that it's time to change."
Liu Xun said: "Okay, okay, what happened to Zheng Zeng?"
Si Jun: "..." Isn't this a flat tongue and a nasal voice playing very smoothly?
With Si Jun's permission, Liu Xun hurriedly asked people to stop singing and dancing, and summoned alchemists and Taoists.
At first he thought there were monks and nuns, but now Buddhism is not very prosperous, and these people were screened out before they met him.
After all, these "foreigners" were brought to the banquet by officials, and the officials had to be responsible for the people they recommended.
The officials were not stupid. After screening, these people at least fooled them—even they couldn't fool them, how could they fool His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, there were only 12 alchemists who could meet with him.
Liu Xun glanced at the names of the 12 people presented, and said, "Yu Shi, Fang Yuan, Ping Zhu, and Zhou An? These four people are all here? This makes me a little interested. But what about the official Ming?" Not among them? It’s really a pity that five are missing one.”
Because the singing and dancing had stopped, and Liu Xun's voice was not low, everyone in the room heard what Liu Xun said, and they were suddenly startled.
The twelve alchemists were sweating even more, not knowing what His Majesty the Emperor meant.
Liu Xun was a little surprised. The people he mentioned were all famous capable people and strangers in history, and there are many legendary stories.Why did he point out the names of these people, but they had such expressions.
Si Jun had no choice but to whisper in Liu Xun's ear: "These people became famous more than ten years later, Mingguan may not be born now."
Liu Xun suddenly said: "Oh, so it is."
He only remembered that these people were very famous, but it turned out that they were not famous at this time.
Liu Xun saw that he was all pretending, so he continued to pretend: "Mingguan was not born yet, I remembered wrongly. Well, then the four people I just read, you stand aside first, I first Test the rest."
Although the alchemists didn't understand why, His Majesty the Emperor had spoken, and four young men walked aside with his attendants.
The expressions of the people present are even more exciting.
Whoever chooses the alchemist is the person who trusts the white hair and youthful face more, and looks more immortal.Although they also selected a lot of young people, accounting for half, His Majesty the Emperor directly selected four young people, which surprised them very much.
In the end, Liu Xun was even more surprised than them: "You four are Yu Shi, Fang Yuan, Ping Zhu and Zhou An? So you are so young."
Everyone: "..."
So, Your Majesty, do you not know them at all? !So why did you choose the four of them?
Yu Shi and the other four were also frightened.Although they are somewhat famous among the people, they are not very famous.This time they just came to Chengdu in a hurry because they smelled the taste of becoming famous.
Although they may not stay in Chengdu in the end and stay with the emperor, as long as they do some miraculous things around His Majesty, their reputation will definitely be established at once, and they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
But His Majesty the Emperor is completely different from the dignitaries and dignitaries they have seen, and he does not act according to common sense at all.This suddenly disturbed their mood.
What's more, they are still young people now, but they are not very sophisticated.
Chen Wen and Zhai Yang exchanged a clear look.They said, this group of alchemists are no match for His Majesty the Emperor.His Majesty the Emperor must have seen through them long ago.
Kong Jin looked curiously at the four people named by His Majesty, guessing what abilities they had that His Majesty would remember.
Fu Feng whispered to his father: "Your Majesty looks down on these alchemists at all, and I don't know why His Majesty summoned the alchemists."
Fu Shou said: "Your Majesty has his own reasons, shut up and watch."
But Gong Yu and other Si Jun's confidantes watched His Majesty the Emperor's performance with a look of interest on their faces.
They have heard Si Jun say countless times that His Majesty the Emperor is not an ordinary person, and they have always been curious.Maybe now, we can get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of His Majesty's magic?
Liu Xun was just surprised, and then turned his attention to the other eight people.
Liu Xun said: "It is recorded in this list that you all know alchemy, divination, and matchmaking. All alchemists say they know how to do these things. Tell me what you are best at and what magic you can show me."
The eight alchemists looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to do.
Liu Xun pointed to the far right and said, "Let's start with you."
That year, the old alchemist stepped forward neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Pindao is best at alchemy. Pindao can show His Majesty the art of turning water into ice."
Liu Xun raised his eyebrows: "Oh, dripping into ice? Have you brought everything?"
The old alchemist said: "The East and West Poor Taoists have sent a Taoist boy to bring them here, and they can show them to His Majesty at any time."
The officials below whispered to each other, and they were all very interested in dripping water into ice.
Liu Xun asked people to stand aside first, and said: "A drop of water turns into ice, among the seven of you, who can do this?"
The hearts of the seven thumped a little, not knowing what Liu Xun meant by this.
They hesitated for a while, and four more people stood up, saying that they would do it too, but this time they were not prepared.
Liu Xun didn't ask the four people what they had prepared, but only asked them to explain how they managed to make a drop of water turn into ice, and let them speak one by one.
Both the officials and alchemists could see that Liu Xun wanted them to expose each other's faults.
But a drop of water turns into ice has formed a unified set of rhetoric among the alchemists. Although they haven't checked their lines in advance, they still use the most commonly used ones.
What vitality, what chill, what essence of heaven and earth, all in all, this matter is very mysterious, you must practice, you must break through the mysteries of heaven and earth, and only then can a drop of water turn into ice.
Liu Xun smiled but said, "Oh? It's so amazing? You go to the side first, and I'll ask other people what skills they have."
Liu Xun said to the three people who said that they couldn't turn water into ice, "Since the three of you don't know how to turn water into ice, aren't your skills inferior to those Taoist priests?"
"That's not the case, we just don't practice the same way." The Taoist priest with a good face smiled, and he really looked like a fairy.
But Liu Xun thought about Su Yi, um, he still pretended not to be like Su Yi.Su Yi is like a magic stick from the bottom of his heart, this is just a skin image.
Liu Xun asked: "Then what do you practice? Isn't it alchemy?"
The Taoist said: "Pin Dao is good at refining five stone powder."
Liu Xun said: "Drag out and go to prison."
Not only the Taoist priest, but everyone else was shocked. The Taoist priest knelt down and kowtowed, not knowing where to offend Liu Xun.
Liu Xun said slowly: "Wu Shi San was originally passed down from the court, I don't know what Wu Shi San is? Wu Shi San is just an aphrodisiac, and it is very poisonous. The so-called cold food, drinking warm wine, Taking cold baths, walking, wearing thin old clothes, and using medicines to emit toxicity only slows down the onset of toxicity. Five stone powder overdraws a person's energy, and then the person will age quickly."
"Even if there is no immediate poisoning due to wrong steps, if you take it for a long time, your tongue will shrink into your throat, carbuncles will sink into your back, and your spine will rot, causing people to commit suicide in pain."
As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, many officials directly knocked over the wine cups in front of them.
Liu Xun sneered: "This is the chronic poison given to the emperor by the eunuch's relatives in order to control the emperor. I managed to escape the catastrophe. Why do people still want to poison people?"
Make up a reason and put a high hat on it, and I will see who will promote Wushi San in the future, heh heh.
