Crane Chong dressed as a villain and a foolish king

It was already dark, and the palace in the capital city was brightly lit. Why did a group of people kneel before Xiao Lang's couch before, but they are still kneeling like that now? Shaking his body and kneeling beside Xiao Lang, his expression was ashen.

Zuo Zai asked with a trembling gray beard, "How sure are you?"

The imperial doctor sighed: "Your Majesty has been poisoned by fire for more than ten years, and his body has long been weak. It is like a house with broken trees and broken walls. It may collapse at any time. Your Majesty used to rely on fire and poison to support it. If the fire poison disappears, he will fall down...Whether he can wake up or not depends entirely on luck, alas..."

Zuo Zai looked at the other imperial doctors next to him, they all had similar expressions, obviously they had tried their best, and they were resigning themselves to fate at the moment.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and many people have already started to panic. The emperor is still young and has never been married. Let alone the queen, there are no decent wives and concubines. She is pregnant with the seed of the Son of Heaven, and has not yet laid eggs... The Son of Heaven has no heirs, let alone brothers, if she never wakes up again, there will be no successors... I am afraid that the world will be in chaos!

Zuo Zai was so worried that he almost pulled out his beard, and said in tears, "If I had known today, I shouldn't have let His Majesty mess around in the first place, alas... Blame me... Blame me..."

A minister next to him said: "Master Zuo Zai, we have to make plans as soon as possible, and quickly pick a child from the clan!"

Others immediately agreed.

Seeing the posture of preparing for the funeral, Zuo Zai looked at the dark night outside the window and gritted his teeth: "Since everyone has no objection, then..."

"Cough..." There was a sudden cough on the couch.

Everyone was startled, and then they showed ecstasy. They rushed towards the bed together: "Your Majesty is awake! Your Majesty is awake!"

Zuo Zai was so excited that he hurriedly called the imperial doctor to take his pulse. There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the hall, and finally there was good news. At least it will take ten or eight years to fully recover."

With the support of his attendants, Xiao Lang sat up and retreated from the crowd, leaving only Zuo Zai and his most trusted confidantes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you ever cleaned up the people from the National Teacher?"

Zuo Zai said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the palace has been cleaned up. As for the outside of the palace and even outside the capital, there is no need to rush, the old minister has already arranged it."

Another person said: "The national teacher died, do you want to announce the news to the world?"

Zuo Zai shook his head: "No, the national teacher's reputation is quite high, and it cannot be broken overnight. Your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people. You must not make any accidents about the national teacher. If everyone in the world knows that the national teacher was killed by your majesty, your majesty will be killed." I'm afraid it will be difficult to order the world!"

Several people discussed it and felt that what Zuo Zai said made sense, Xiao Lang said: "According to Zuo Zai's intention, we will keep this a secret beforehand, and if anyone asks, they will say that the national teacher has traveled abroad."

It was agreed, Xiao Lang coughed a few more times, waved them all down, Zuo Zai looked at him before leaving, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty intends to propose marriage to Xianjun..."

Xiao Lang's eyes softened: "Does Zuo Zai have any objections?"

Zuo Zai lightly stroked the tiger's beard, and sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty has done all the nonsense. Marrying a fairy king is a great joy both in public and in private. How can veterans have objections? It's just that His Majesty will still have heirs sooner or later. Adding a wife and concubine, I am afraid that Xianjun will not be able to bear such grievances, Xianjun's ability is beyond the reach of others, if he is offended, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future."

Xiao Lang lowered his eyes: "I don't want any more children."

Zuo Zai choked, thinking about the ability of the fairy, and then thinking about the kindness of the fairy for saving the emperor's life, he couldn't say any words of advice. For the emperor, heirs are very important, but this fairy and The national teacher is not a faction at all. Judging from his words and deeds, such a fairy king may not be exchanged for many heirs.

Zuo Zai is a person who is aware of current affairs, and he knows clearly which is more important, he looked at Xiao Lang, compromised and said: "As the Son of Heaven wants, the old minister will immediately urge people to do it."

Thinking of Zhuang Heng's black and white eyes, Xiao Lang felt like his heart was swelled, wishing to marry him in right away, but the words came to his lips: "Leave the marriage proposal in advance."

Zuo Zai, who was gearing up for a fight, immediately snapped off a beard: "..."

At this time in the abandoned capital, a large group of people gathered around the gate of Zhuang Heng's new house, some of them came to watch the excitement, and some were "sending exams" for their children.

Inside the room, Zhuang Heng stared at the man in front of him with a serious expression. The man's head was so green that it glowed, and his entire face was illuminated green. At this time, he looked at Zhuang Heng with very eager eyes, as if he couldn't wait to learn from his teacher. But the green light in his eyes betrayed him.

He is a traitor!

Zhuang Heng looked at the man with tremors in his heart, cold sweat dripped from his forehead and back, and he dodged his eyes unconsciously.

AI explained excitedly in Zhuang Heng's mind: [Master, look, his head is too green, his whole body is green, which means his loyalty value is negative!The system does not allow such a person to be your apprentice. If he is not loyal to you, his live broadcast points will not be counted towards you in the future. Hurry up and get rid of him! ]

Zhuang Heng was stunned: [So the system does this to count points? ]

ai: [Yes!if not! ]

Zhuang Heng secretly thought: [So as long as you start the recording program, I can see anyone's loyalty value? ]

ai: [Yes!However, it can only be opened once a day for free, and it does not exceed half an hour at a time. If there is more, it will be charged, and the cost is quite high. It costs tens of thousands of yuan, after all, it is high-tech. ]

Zhuang Heng's eyes instantly brightened like light bulbs: [It's okay!Lord is rich! ]

The man standing in front of him saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and felt uneasy. Seeing him look happy now, the heart in his throat finally fell back to its original place, and he took a step forward with secret joy, and said courteously: "Little one, this dish How is it doing? Can it suit Xianjun's appetite?"

Zhuang Heng squinted his eyes and smiled inscrutablely, stretched out his hand and pointed to the side: "You, go over there and wait."

The smile on the man's face froze for a moment, then he smiled again, not daring to say anything more, bowed his hands respectfully, and retreated to the corner to stand still obediently.

Zhuang Heng rushed to the door and shouted: "Big stone!"

Ji Dashi strode in: "Xianjun, how is this person's investigation going? Should he go or stay?"

Zhuang Heng didn't speak, and looked up at his head.

Ji Dashi looked puzzled, raised his hand in a daze and scratched his bun that was a little loose and tilted to one side due to busy work: "What's wrong? What's on my head?"

ai: [Wow!Master, look at the red progress bar on the big rock, it's full, so bright!Dashi is doing well, a red heart to Xianjun!The loyalty is impeccable! ]

Zhuang Heng smiled at the red-faced Ji Dashi: "It's okay, I just saw that your bun is crooked, so you call everyone else in, I'll take a look together first."

Ji Dashi obeyed him, didn't ask much, turned around and went out and shouted, and soon led a large group of people in, forming a long line in front of Zhuang Heng from left to right.

Zhuang Heng glanced over, and sure enough, everyone had glowing progress bars on their heads, and each person had different shades of color and different progress ratios.

ai explained: [The loyalty value of red is a positive number, and the loyalty value of green is a negative number. The darker the color, the greater the value. The progress bar is the progress of the upgrade. For example, the one on the left with a mole on his face was pink when he first came in. 60%, now he has been secretly looking at you, the progress bar has reached 96%, and it will be upgraded to positive red soon, it may be the first time for him to see you up close, and he is completely bowed to your fairy spirit! ]

Zhuang Heng: [...ai you can do it, this wave of rainbow farts is very good. ]

Dozens of people lined up in front of them. Zhuang Heng looked at them one by one. The expressions of those people were similar, and they were all a little nervous and expectant. Zhuang Heng got up and walked towards them to observe closely, first he walked to the first one. In front of the little official's son who came in, he smiled and waved kindly: "You take a step forward."

The man showed joy and hurriedly took a step forward, and the others turned their heads to look at him enviously.

Zhuang Heng continued to walk, and soon saw a green progress bar. He looked at the person's fluorescent face and smiled again: "You also take a step forward."

The man beamed with joy, and even shouted very politely: "Master!"

The others became more and more envious, while the few people who were skipped by Zhuang Heng were dejected, looking pitifully abandoned by the whole world.

Zhuang Heng pulled a few people out in this way, and said to Ji Dashi: "I think these qualifications are very good, you ask someone to write down their names, take them to the abandoned school in the west of the city, let them Clean up the place, oh yes, I heard that some parts of the city wall are dilapidated and need to be repaired. After cleaning the academy, take them to repair the city wall. If there is still a shortage of people to do manual work, you can ask someone to take them there ..."

The faces of those people turned pale when they heard this, and the little official's son interrupted him: "Xianjun, we are here to learn from a teacher, not to do coolies, why... why..."

Zhuang Heng smiled with concern like an elder, with an expression of "you don't know about it", and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "To be a cook, you must first have a good physique, a strong body, and strong arms. Your fingers must be flexible, otherwise what do you use to stir the pot? What do you use to measure the amount of seasoning? Oh, yes, you usually cook in one pot, and you don’t know the beauty of cooking. , it doesn’t need to be so detailed, but it’s okay, I will teach, I have everything here.”

As a loyal supporter of Zhuang Heng, Ji Dashi yelled dissatisfiedly: "You can do whatever Xianjun asks you to do, so much nonsense."

Zhuang Heng waved his hand: "Oh, you can't say that. Learning to cook with me is indeed a bit hard. It's human nature not to want to. You take them away first, and do what you want, and don't force yourself if you don't want to."

Those people gritted their teeth and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Zhuang Heng: "..."

ai: [Wow!They are so hardworking! ]

Ji Dashi called a subordinate to take a few people away, and the rest of them all had red progress bars on their heads, and the room was filled with red light for a while, but only Zhuang Heng and ai could see the red light, and no one else noticed it , and even stood there looking lonely and drooping, thinking that they had lost the election.

Zhuang Heng pulled Ji Dashi aside, and said in a low voice: "The people who were taken away just now have different intentions, you ask someone to keep an eye on them, to see who they are, and tell me if you find out, if you can't find out Find a reason to drive them out of the abandoned capital, and don't let them harm us here."

Ji Dashi's eyes widened in shock, apparently he didn't expect Xianjun to have such a powerful hand, and his expression became excited: "Xianjun, please rest assured! Dashi will never let him take advantage of it!"

Zhuang Heng went back to the front of the team again, carefully looked at the colors of the progress bars of these people, and divided them into two groups according to their shades. First, he conducted a simple question and answer on the light-colored group, and then asked them to taste different condiments, and did basic exercises. Taste assessment, some of those who are completely untalented are eliminated, and the remaining ones are said: "I will pass on a secret recipe to each of you and teach you to open a store, which can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, but there is one condition, where is the store open?" , need to be designated by me, and the business needs to be expanded in the future, and the selected people must also be reviewed by me, do you have any objections?"

Those people originally thought there was no hope, but they didn't expect such a surprise. They were all overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Heng asked them to leave first, and conducted a simple assessment on the dark-colored group, eliminating a few who were not suitable to be cooks, and said to the remaining human beings who qualified: "You guys are my closed disciples from today on. I will teach you whatever I can, so do it well!"

Those few people were so surprised that they were in a daze, and the golden cake fell from the sky, directly smashing them into a daze.

Ji Dashi shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze! Hurry up and apprentice!"

Several people woke up like a dream, "plop plop" scrambling to kneel down, shouting in unison: "Disciple pays homage to master!" At Heng's request, they reported their families one by one.

AI worked quickly: [Master, it's all entered into the system, and someone will help you earn points in the future! ]

Zhuang Heng smiled happily and asked them to go back and wait for the next step.

In the end, there were still a few who were more loyal than talented, and Zhuang Heng didn't feel bad for them. He smiled and said gently: "I have seen the sincerity of you guys, but you are not suitable to be cooks, I can give you In addition, arrange errands, for example, in the future, my disciples will open a store and start a business elsewhere, those of you who can read and write can be accountants, those who know martial arts can be nurses, and those with eloquence can open up markets."

A few people were confused, and they didn't understand what "opening up the market" meant, but they all understood what Zhuang Heng meant. Compared with the first wave of coolies, it was obvious that they were the chosen ones. !You can't be a disciple if you don't have talent, but Xianjun doesn't dislike them at all, and even arranges other errands for them, don't be too moved!

Seeing their tears, Zhuang Heng coughed lightly: "You guys should go back first, and come to learn more about your specialties when you have time tomorrow."

People dispersed one after another, Ji Dashi said goodbye and planned to leave, Zhuang Heng suddenly stood up and called him back: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, starting tomorrow, I plan to visit each household in person to find out about everyone's situation. "

Ji Dashi looked puzzled: "What is Xianjun going to do?"

Zhuang Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Census."

The author has something to say: Brother: Hehe, I like you, I love you, really, I swear!

Zhuang Heng: ai, turn off the recording program!My eyes are about to be blinded!
