Zhuo Qihua

Zhuo Ji looked at the clear river water, his mind was empty.One person walked along the river, and was stopped by the guards a few tens of meters away from Zhuo Ji, who reprimanded him for disturbing Shun's cleanliness.The man hastily knelt down and saluted: "Cao Min Guo Zheng didn't know that I was here, please forgive me."

Zhuo Ji recovered from his thoughts, turned his head to look: "Get up."

"Thank you." Guo Zheng stood up and wanted to leave quickly, but he didn't let him go, so he didn't dare.Guo Zheng didn't expect that he would be so unlucky to meet Shun Yu.Guo Zheng, no matter how skilled he is, also knows that Shun Yu is His Majesty's most beloved concubine, No. 1 in the harem, and his status even surpasses that of the imperial concubine.

Zhuo Ji looked at the other party's clothes, he was not an official, but those who could walk around here would not be ordinary people, but the other party called himself a "grassman", so he asked casually: "Where are you from?"

Guo Zheng bowed: "Caomin belongs to the four courtyards."West.group.hate.

Four courtyards?

"Head up."

Guo Zheng raised his head, and Zhuo Ji confirmed that the other party was not from the Military Medical Research Institute.

"Guo Zheng, why are you here?"

Zhuo Ji looked for the sound: "Shi Shangshu."

Shi Yu walked over quickly and saluted: "CuCu."

Zhuo Ji: "Shi Shangshu recognizes him?"

Shi Yu: "He is Guo Zheng, a first-class craftsman."

When Shi Yu said this, Zhuo Ji knew that Guo was from which courtyard of the fourth courtyard.First-class craftsman... Zhuo Ji: "Shi Shangshu can accompany me for a walk, and he can come too."

"Humble and obedient to the decree."

The dean respected Shun Yu so much, Guo Zheng didn't dare to delay, walked over quickly, and stopped half a step behind the dean.Zhuo Ji walked up the river and signaled Jin Dashi to clear the field.Jin Dashi immediately took the guards in the palace to clear a space around Zuo, so that no one else could hear what he said.Guo Zheng was amazed in his heart that this 俍俍 had such great power, but he was not stupid, and he could not speak casually on such occasions.

Zhuo Ji asked: "Shi Shangshu, what is this craftsman Guo proficient in?"

Shi Yu hinted: "Guo is the person in charge of several recent confidential projects of the Academy of Sciences."

Guo Zheng was shocked, how could the dean tell the harem's 忍俍 such a confidential matter!Zhuo Ji ignored Guo Zheng's shock, nodded, and asked, "How is the project progressing?"

Shi Yu: "Guo Zheng, how is the progress of the project?"

Guo Zheng looked at the dean: [Dean!This is confidential! 】

Shi Yu looked at Guo Zheng: [I tell you what to say! 】

Guo Zheng: [Really? 】

Shi Yu: [Quickly say it! 】

The dean let it go, Guo Zheng bit the bullet and said: "The progress is not very great."

Zhuo Ji: "Is it because the theory is not enough, or the technology is not enough, or is the material not enough?"

Guo Zheng's heart trembled, and the way he looked at the Chu Chu in front of him changed instantly.Shi Yu: "I asked you something!"

Guo Zheng shivered, and quickly replied: "Not enough."

"Tell me."

Zhuo Ji stopped, bent over to pick up the stones on the ground, and threw one into the river.Guo Zheng lowered his head and explained the difficulties encountered by the project one by one.Zhuo Ji listened carefully without interrupting him.Although Shi Yu is the dean, he can get a general idea of ​​some content, but he still doesn't understand the in-depth aspects.In this regard, Guo is a genius, and he knows a lot more than the dean.

Guo Zheng talked a lot, and after he finished speaking, he seriously doubted whether this 俍俍 could understand what he meant.Zhuo Ji: "Okay, you go."

Guo Zheng glanced at the dean, and walked away full of doubts.When Guo Zheng left, Zhuo Ji said to Shi Yu: "Steam engines and trains are really embarrassing for the Academy of Sciences now."

Shi Yu: "Cui, you have done so much, no matter how difficult it is, the Academy of Sciences will do it."

Zhuo Ji: "The Academy of Sciences is responsible for the systematic division of the country's future knowledge. Now that the Academy of Sciences has taken shape, you have contributed a lot."

Shi Yu: "Humble and ashamed." He is really ashamed.

Zhuo Ji: "The question he said just now focused on eight major aspects. I said, you remember. I will refine it after I go back. Don't rush, take your time. Your Majesty did not give the Academy of Sciences time to clarify the theory and solidify the foundation. , there will always be results."

"Humble and understand."

Shi Yu took out a small notebook and a pencil from his sleeve pocket. The deans of the four courtyards now have this habit.Zhuo Ji spoke slowly, and Shi Yu memorized it in detail.Guo Zheng, who walked to the distance, saw what the dean was memorizing, and was full of doubts and curiosity about this cleric.

Zhuo Ji summed up Guo Zheng's problems, and Shi Yu suddenly became enlightened a lot when he saw the summaries and solutions from the eight aspects that Chu Chu said.Zhuo Ji said: "Give him a rare vacation after the hunting is over, and relax."

"Yes."

Only then did Zhuo Ji ask: "What's the matter with Shi Shangshu?"

Shi Yu was embarrassed to talk about her daughter.Zhuo Ji smiled and said, "I never thought that my daughters would like it with just a few pieces of music. Thank you for their support."

Shi Yu: "Cu Chu is too self-effacing."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty doesn't like me getting too close to my daughter's family. Tomorrow, I will order the Empress Dowager to order them to come over. I will also ask the young talents from the Fourth Academy to come over. Let's play the piano and sing together, having fun Ah."

Shi Yumiao understood what Chu Chu meant, and immediately said: "Cu Chu is willing to make the decision, and humble is willing. I also hope that my daughter can choose a good husband from the talents of the four courtyards."

Zhuo Ji joked: "The talents of the Fourth Academy are potential stocks. Before others know it, pick them quickly, or they will disappear if you are slow."

Shi Yu smiled.

Not wanting to attract gossip, Shi Yu left.As soon as he came back, he was surrounded. Nian Qing asked him first: "What did you say to you? It's been so long."

Shi Yu lowered his voice: "He said that the talents of the Fourth Academy are the first choice for a good son-in-law, so don't miss them."

Nian Qing touched his chin and nodded slowly, it makes sense!

King Xianyi: "This king has no daughter..."

Hai Shizhang: "The old man's granddaughter has left the cabinet. Is there a brother in the fourth courtyard?"

Shi Yu: "Yes, but they don't intend to marry."

Hai Shizhang was depressed.

The cabinet ministers, Lin Xieshan and Guan Minghui, accompanied him on the hunt.Shao Pingqiu pondered, he has a daughter, although the daughter is still young, but it can be considered now.

After Guo Zheng came back, someone asked him, "Did you see Shun Yu just now?"

Guo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect to meet Zuzu."

"Did you ever reprimand you?"

"No. He is very approachable. He was just curious about my identity and asked a few questions."

Before Guo Zheng left, Shi Yu told him not to talk too much.

The people in the big tent are all craftsmen who came from the Academy of Sciences this time.Guo Zheng didn't say much, and no one asked him. Instead, they all sighed: "I don't know how to hunt, so why waste time here?"

"Yeah, why not do research in the courtyard."

Everyone you say and I say, you want to go back and do their research quickly, and you don't want to waste time here.But the Holy Majesty's will cannot be disobeyed, and they can only waste time here.

A little later, an eunuch came to pass the decree, and the Empress Dowager summoned the craftsmen of the Fourth Academy tomorrow.The craftsmen and masters of the Fourth Academy looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager summoned them?At the same time, the family members of the accompanying officials also received the Queen Mother's order, and the Queen Mother will summon them tomorrow.

In the middle of the afternoon, the hunting team came back with a full reward.There will be no ferocious beasts in the royal hunting grounds. After all, the safety of the emperor and other princes and nobles must be considered.The sudden appearance of fierce tigers and wolves in the hunting grounds is definitely inseparable from Gongdou.Emperor Yong'an definitely didn't have the problem of palace fighting, so most of the hunting grounds were deer, rabbits, foxes, and pheasants.However, because Emperor Yong'an hadn't come to the hunting ground for a long time, some kind of food chain ecosystem was formed among the prey here, which would attract eagles and vultures.

The first one to come out was naturally Emperor Yong'an, followed by Lin Xieshan, Guan Minghui, Lin Yi and others.Zhaoyou is in the other team, he is a servant after all, to avoid suspicion, he is followed by Liu Haoyue.

Emperor Yong'an's horse was covered with rabbits and pheasants, and the accompanying guards led a horse. There were two stags, a wild sheep, and three foxes on the horse.

Zhuo Ji, the Empress Dowager, Huang Guixie and others greeted the returning emperor in triumph.After dismounting from his horse, Emperor Yong'an said directly that the furs of the three foxes were given to the Queen Mother, Huang Guixie and Shunxi respectively.After speaking, Emperor Yong'an put his arms around Ai Shi's waist and led him into the emperor's tent.

After entering the big tent, Emperor Yong'an, who had a wife and forgot his mother, said to Zhuo Ji, "I leave that silver fox to you."

Among the three foxes, only one is the silver fox, the most beautiful.

Zhuo Ji: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Send a kiss.

Emperor Yong'an washed and changed his clothes. Zhuo Ji waited on him and asked, "How much has your majesty hunted? Can you take the first place?"

Emperor Yong'an smiled and said, "The ones on my horse, as well as two deer and three foxes are all hunted by me. I haven't used a bow and arrow for a long time, and my hand was born. The first is Sui Guogong, he is not old with a sword."

Zhang Xian interjected from the side: "I don't know, but every autumn hunting in the past, if Sui Guogong was there, he would definitely be the first."

Zhuo Ji: "It seems reasonable for Sui Guogong to become the head of the generals. Your Majesty, I want the tail feather of a pheasant, and I want to make a shuttlecock."

Emperor Yong'an didn't say whether to give it or not, Feng Xi immediately got out of the tent.

Regarding the matter of autumn hunting, Sui Guogong never gave in to the emperor.The hunting team returns with a full load, and everyone will enjoy the joy of harvest together on the hunting ground in the evening.All the prey from Yong'an Emperor's hunt will be grilled and distributed to the ministers.

Emperor Yong'an told Zhuo Ji about the interesting things he encountered while hunting, and Zhuo Ji also told Emperor Yong'an about his meeting with Shi Yu and Guo Zheng today, and about his fans.The smile on Emperor Yong'an's face became lighter immediately: "This girl's family in the capital has never been so bold."

Zhuo Ji was proud: "I also have fans now."

Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's face: "I have hidden you so deeply, why not recruit someone for me!"

Zhuo Ji immediately said innocently: "I didn't expect that either."

While Emperor Yong'an was resting in the big tent, the bonfire outside started to light, and Zhuo Ji also began to dress up.The outdoor picnic in the evening is the highlight of the autumn hunt. As the emperor's favor, Zhuo Ji must dress up to attend.

When the night began to fall, Emperor Yong'an walked out of the big tent with his pet attendants, picked up the Queen Mother and headed to the dining place together.Emperor Yong'an first helped the queen mother to sit down, and then sat down with Zhuo Ji in his arms.Not in the imperial palace, not in the Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Yong'an could sit with his beloved attendant unscrupulously, while Huang Guixie sat opposite to the Queen Mother, slightly behind the Queen Mother.

All the courtiers present, the craftsmen of the four courtyards, and the accompanying family members knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.Emperor Yong'an made them flat and gave them seats.The ministers all sat with their families.It was the first time for many people to see the legendary Shun Yu at close range. Many girls looked excited, their cheeks were flushed, and they saw the idol's stars in their eyes.

Emperor Yong'an was not happy inside the big tent just now, but he still gave his paternity face outside, and didn't specially warn those girls who were full of love after seeing his paternity.

The prey has already been roasted, otherwise it would be too late after His Majesty takes his seat.The dinner not only has barbecue, but also other dishes made by the imperial chef, as well as various fruits.There will be rewards for the top ten players with the most hunts.Lin Xieshan was the first, but the second to tenth were all young people, and Lin Yi was among them.Lin Xieshan's number one has the meaning of deterring the veteran, which is also the emperor's tacit approval.Those who get the ranking are all generals without exception.

The rewards are from the back to the front. When No.5 Qin Shihai was kneeling in front, ready to accept the emperor's reward, Zhuo Jiduo asked: "Surname 'Qin'?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Qin Shihai? Are you related to the Marquis of Chang'an?"

Qin Shihai kowtowed and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Chang'an is the uncle of Caomin Zhitang."

Liu Haoyue whispered: "Your Majesty, Qin Shihai's father is the cousin of the Marquis of Chang'an, and those in the fifth service belong to the Qin clan."

Emperor Yong'an understood, and he asked: "Since you are so brave, how did you fail to enter the command of your cousin Qin Zhongyi?"

Qin Shihai said shyly: "Return to Your Majesty, my cousin said that there can be no special camps except him, the Qin family."

Liu Haoyue is Brother Mao's son, although he is related to Qin Zhongyi by marriage, it's not a big problem.But if there were more Qin family members in the special camp, the meaning would be different.Emperor Yong'an admired Qin Zhongyi's loyalty and lived up to his name.Emperor Yong'an said: "The Marquis of Chang'an's bloodline are all ministers of my humerus, and their loyalty to me can be learned from. You are so good at riding and shooting, but doing nothing is a waste. How old are you this year?"

Qin Shihai: "Return to Your Majesty, Caomin just turned sixteen last month."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "You are so brave at the age of 16, and you will have a lot to do in the future. In the future, you can go to be the personal bodyguard of King Qin."

Qin Shihai was stunned, and everyone present was stunned, including King Qin.

Zhuo Ji's voice broke the silence that suddenly appeared on the scene. He smiled and said, "You are so powerful at the age of 16. It is just right for him to protect the King of Qin. King Qin, you have such a powerful guard, and you need to practice martial arts more in the future. ,Physical fitness."

King Qin quickly regained his composure and stood up: "I thank my father, the emperor, for your kindness, and I would like to obey my mother's and father's orders."

Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu, Nian Qing and others had complicated eyes.Empress Huang's hands under the table clenched into fists.Qin Shihai kowtowed: "Grassman! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Emperor Yong'an continued: "I don't treat one more favorably than another. As the elder brother, King Qin won No. 5 as his personal bodyguard. As the younger brother, King Qi, let's... No. 7, the age difference is not too big. No. 7 Prince Jian, you He is the personal bodyguard of King Qi."

Unexpectedly, Wang Zijian, who suddenly got such a big piece of pie, rushed out of the queue, knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Zhuo Ji also said: "King Qi, you also need to study martial arts hard and strengthen your body."

King Qi stood up: "I thank my father, the emperor Long En, and Chen Mu would like to obey my mother's and father's orders."

Deguixie's heart was beating violently.

No.6 wants to cry but has no tears. He is 24 years old this year, and he is indeed much older than King Qi. Prince Jian of No.7 is only 15 years old, one year younger than Qin Shihai.

The fourth and No.5 are even more depressed, they are not big, why didn't His Majesty choose them?Some people can see it. No.4 has something to do with the Andinghou Pan family, and No.5 is the grandson of Jinwu General Jing Song, and the youngest brother of Zhuang Concubine Jing Lanzhen. Emperor Yong'an would not allow them to serve as the prince's bodyguards, and the Jing family will not be allowed in the future. The person who served as the personal bodyguard of Nanrong Chenling, the tenth prince born to Concubine Zhuang.But now that the Pan family is rising and leading the Beigu army, its meaning to the court is different from that of the Qin family.It is definitely a signal for someone from the Pan family to be the personal bodyguard of any prince. For the Holy Majesty, who will not establish a crown prince within ten years, he will definitely not do so.

No.2 is a young general, and Emperor Yong'an rewarded him with an excellent long knife. No.3 is Edward Lam.Edward Lam got a fine dagger.And No.1 Lin Xieshan said directly: "Your Majesty, may I ask for a reward?"

Emperor Yong'an narrowed his eyes: "What reward does the Duke want?"

Lin Xieshan: "I want to ask for a painting by you."

Changing to Emperor Yong'an this time is depressing.Don't do it, it looks like you are stingy.Well, he really didn't want to.
