Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 176



In the next few days, Chu Ci did not go to the military sports meeting, but was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace every day to draft imperial edicts.

Although the emperor had already handed down the verdict that day, after all, conferring the title, the princess and leaving are both important matters, and a reasonable imperial decree is still needed to convince the public.

Chu Ci was in extreme pain. Although he had never been a Party B in his previous life, he had read all kinds of jokes about Party A on the Internet. Today he finally experienced the bald feeling of irritability, because he was facing a The biggest party in history.

An imperial decree has been written five times!The discarded manuscripts piled up half the table, and every time one was removed, Chu Ci secretly made up his mind that this was the last one!But every time it is handed in, the emperor will call back and rewrite it with various excuses!

After five times, Chu Ci finally realized belatedly that he probably offended the emperor.But what was the offence?Chu Ci is unknown.He guessed that maybe he knew too much, the emperor didn't want to deal with him, and didn't want to let him go easily, so he came up with this method to torment him.Should he be thankful that there is no such thing as colorful black in this world?

Now that I understand, Chuci is not as stupid as before, rewriting an article every time, striving for perfection, but the emperor just changes whatever is not good.The speed of writing also slowed down, and I began to practice calligraphy consciously.

After the emperor read the two imperial edicts that were almost identical except for a few sentences, he laughed, "This is a trick!"

The chief eunuch accompanied the emperor, seeing that he was in a good mood, he boldly asked: "Your majesty, why are you so happy?"

"Happy? Do I have it?" The corners of Tianhe Emperor's mouth rose, "This Chu Ci is so bold, I can't get enough of anger!"

The chief eunuch slandered secretly, but his face was pretending to be surprised: "This Chu Siye dared to make the emperor angry with you, and the old slave will not let him serve tea later."

"Tea still needs to be served, and some refreshments should be prepared, otherwise this kid will probably call me stingy."

"The emperor's mind is comparable to that of the world, how can he be stingy? The old slave just asked someone to prepare a sumptuous refreshment to gag his mouth."

"Yes, make it better. Last time he said in the court hall that the food in the porch given by me was not good. Let him have a taste of what a palace banquet is for lunch today." Tianhe Emperor thought of this sharp-mouthed man. Chu Ci couldn't help but smile again.

"No." The chief eunuch thought, it seems that Chu Siye is already a celebrity in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please see, Eldest Prince—Eldest Prince, you are not allowed to go in yet!" There was a sound of announcements and obstructions at the door, followed by a cry of pain, presumably the one who just stopped was kicked over.

"Oh, there is a new person at the gate today, and the old slave forgot to tell him not to stop you, the eldest prince. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Seeing the emperor's uneasy expression, the chief eunuch immediately went out to smooth things over.

"Eunuch Xu, don't put this sightless thing at the door in the future. Fortunately, I was the one who blocked it today. If it was my second brother, I'm afraid I'm dead." The eldest prince's arrogant voice came from the half-open door. When rumors came in, Tianhedi raised his eyebrows, heh, he can use eye drops, it seems that he has made some progress, but the way is still too shallow, making it nondescript.

Emperor Tianhe thought that he would have to live for a few more years, otherwise the throne would be handed over to him now, and the Great Wei Dynasty might be ruined.While he was still young, he had to be as upright as possible.

Just as he was thinking about it, the eldest prince had already walked in. He bowed to Emperor Tianhe and said, "Father, I heard that the horses offered for sacrifice in southern Yunnan Province have arrived today. Didn't you say that you want to give one to your son?" Minister? Can my son choose now?"

Tianhedi frowned: "Aren't you supposed to be at the schoolyard? I ordered you and Zhi'er to go on tour together for me, why did you come back by yourself?"

"Father, what's so interesting about those big bastards competing there? Wouldn't it be okay if the second child was there alone? What's more, the sixth brother didn't go there today! It's hot there, and the ice melted before long , Erchen can't sit still at all."

The Eldest Prince speaks outrightly and confidently, and almost puts Tian He Di Qi to shame. He is really promising, and he is actually compared with Qiu Qiu, a child who is less than five years old!

But no matter how bad it was, it was his own, and he was the eldest son who was only expected after two premature deaths. Since he was a child, he could not pretend to love him, so naturally he would not blame him too much for a trivial matter.

"You go back to the schoolyard right away, there are still two days left, if you continue to act recklessly, I will give all the fine horses in southern Yunnan to others, and you will never even want to see them." Tianhedi said with a sullen face.

The eldest prince recalled the last time about the court regulations, afraid that Tianhe Emperor would let him copy after saying a few more words, so he held his breath and left.

"Ugh!"

The emperor sighed, it seemed that he had to send a letter quickly to recall Mrs. Wen.

……

On this day, Chu Ci was leisurely transcribing the imperial decree. After two days of provocative behavior, the emperor finally let go today, probably because tomorrow is the big day, and the imperial decree will be read out at that time, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

In the past two days, he has been rushing to get the key to the palace door every time before he can go home. Every time he gets home, he will find that Zhang Hu has already hid in the room and fell asleep. do something.He could go back early today to see what the hell he was up to.

As he was writing, there seemed to be a sound coming from the front left. Chu Ci listened attentively, but he couldn't hear anything clearly, so he had to give up.It is about 100 meters away from the imperial study room, and it is a place dedicated to transcribing imperial edicts.

"Your Highness Six, the emperor is discussing matters inside, you can't go in now." At the door of the imperial study, a little eunuch stopped Yu Qiu and said warmly.

"Oh." Yu Qiu was dejected and didn't force his way in, but walked along the imperial study room listlessly.

"Your Highness Sixth, shall I accompany you to play shuttlecock?"

Yu Qiu shook his head.

"Then I'll play cuju with you?"

Yu Qiu shook his head again. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a person sitting in the half-open room in front of him. His eyes lit up and he immediately became excited.He ran forward, so frightened that several young eunuchs who followed him hurriedly followed.

"Hello!" Yu Qiu ran forward, raised his chubby hand and knocked on Chu Ci's table on tiptoe.

Chu Ci had already heard his footsteps and saw His Highness Jiujiu, and when he saw him calling him, he deliberately pretended not to hear him, and was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me?" Yu Qiu was anxious, and knocked on the table twice.

"I don't talk to children who are rude." Chu Ci didn't even look at him.A young eunuch wanted to reprimand Chu Ci, but another young eunuch pulled his clothes and reminded him that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person.

"..." Yu Qiu frowned and thought for a while, "But I don't know your name."

"Then you should politely ask what other people's names are, instead of addressing them directly with hello. Are you happy when I call you hello?"

Yu Qiu shook his head, and asked obediently, "Then what's your name?"

"My surname is Chu, and I am Siye of the Imperial Academy. You can call me Chu Siye, Your Highness Jiujiu." Chu Ci laughed.

"Chu Siye, did you meet a tiger that day?" Seeing him smiling, Yu Qiu turned to the chair, put both hands on Chu Ci's lap, and asked curiously.

"Meet it, it's so big, a little bigger than a pony, with the word king written on its head, and stripes on its body, it sounds fierce, are you afraid?" Chu Ci described it to him.

Yu Qiu thought of the screams he heard that day, and couldn't help shivering again.Seeing that he was really scared, Chu Ci comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the tiger is locked up and it won't hurt you."

Yu Qiu didn't believe it. Everyone said that tigers can eat people, so why isn't it scary?He had a nightmare when he came back that day!

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Chu Ci was afraid that the tiger would leave him with a psychological shadow, so he said, "Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, I will tell you a story about a tiger. After listening to it, you will know that tigers are not scary anymore."

Yu Qiu looked at him with puzzled eyes, why does the tiger have a story, isn't it all the story of the general?

"Once upon a time, there was a big tiger in the forest... Oh, a forest is a place with many trees, just like a hunting ground."

Yu Qiu frowned slightly and corrected: "Then you should say, in the past, there was a big tiger in the hunting ground."

Chu Ci was amused by his strict tone, and seeing him looking at him angrily, he coughed and continued: "Once upon a time, there was a big tiger in the hunting ground. It looked very majestic, and it was very ferocious when hunting. All the small animals are afraid of it. One day, a fox came and said to the other small animals—”

"No, foxes can't talk! Concubine Qin raised one, and it never talks to me!" Yu Qiu interrupted him.

"Your Highness Jiujiu, birds have bird language, and beasts have animal language. How can you say that it can't speak? It's just that, Chu Siye, I am proficient in animal language, so I can understand their words. Others can't understand them." Chu Ci coaxed, but he can't let him always worry about this.

Yu Qiu said, "You lied!"

"I don't, don't believe me, touch my nose to see if it grows."

Yu Qiu watched him lower his head, touched his nose with his hand, and found that it hadn't really grown, so he opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chu Ci with envy and jealousy. He could understand the animal language. sharp!

Chu Ci smiled and continued to talk. What he told was an adapted version of the story of a fox pretending to be a tiger. He added a lot of interesting plots to the original version. The same goes for the little eunuchs who are waiting beside them, after all they are still teenagers.

"Mr. Fox is so smart and powerful!" After hearing this, Yu Qiu couldn't help but have a great affection for the fox. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he remembered that he had played tricks on that fox before.

"Of course, how can you fight a big tiger if you are not smart? Your Highness Jiujiu, are you still afraid of tigers now?"

Yu Qiu shook his head confidently, and said, "I'm not afraid. Concubine Qin has a fox. I'll borrow it to sleep with me today. When the big tiger comes, let Mr. Fox drive it away!" , He also punched and made a movement to drive away.

Chu Ci said in his heart that he was sorry for this lady Qin, please take care of her.

"Chu Siye, I'm thirsty." Yu Qiu licked his lips at Chu Ci, his eyes full of longing.

"Oh, please drink tea, Your Highness." Chu Ci was completely puzzled, and brought the tea to his mouth.

"I don't want tea."

"Then do you want white water?"

"I...I want something round, sweet and sour." Yu Qiu described it to him, and it can be said that the hint was obvious.

Chu Ci smiled knowingly: "Your Highness Jiujiu, do you want this?" Chu Ci took out a few kits from his body, "This is peach flavor, this is green plum flavor, this is tangerine peel flavor, this It's apricot-flavored, Your Highness Jiujiu, which one do you want?"

"It would be great if... if you could taste it." Yu Qiu said coyly.

"That's fine." Chu Ci took out one from each kit and handed it to Yu Qiu.Yu Qiu held two of them in one fat hand, and his eyes were still fixed on the four kits in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Chu Ci asked knowingly.

"Can one person in your hand eat it? My mother and concubine said that children should not eat too much sugar! Mice will get into their mouths!" Yu Qiu asked in a worried tone, trying to coax Chuci to take the rest Give it all to him.

"Exactly, I'm an adult, Your Highness Jiujiu, you are a child, you can't eat too much."

"My lord can't either! There will be big rats!" Seeing that Chu Ci wanted to take the things back, Yu Qiu became anxious immediately.

"Oh, what should we do then?" Chu Ci pretended to be troubled.

"Oh, just give it to me. My concubine has a cat, so I'm not afraid of mice." He sighed, looking like a little grown-up.

"Hahaha——I see the emperor." Chu Ci was amused by his appearance of sacrificing his life for righteousness. He was smiling, but when he looked up, he found that the emperor had been standing at the door for some time, so he immediately got up and saluted.

Yu Qiu looked back and saw that his father was coming, and immediately ran over happily, holding up the meatball wrapped in oil paper to show him: "Father, this is the delicious meatball from last time!"

"Chu Ci, you are so courageous. You deceived the Sixth Highness when he was young, and dared to make up lies to deceive him. I will punish you and give you a bag of various pills every day... Cough, give it to Qiuqiu, so as to warn others."
