Chu Ji stared at the upper link, and kept looking at it for a long time, but still couldn't think of the next link.

Everyone was watching him.

Scene......

It became very embarrassing at one point.

The prime minister stood up carefully and gave Chu Ji a round game: "Your Majesty, the couplet has just come out, and it is normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to not be right for a while." ”

"Since the prince can't come up,"

Emperor Chu asked rhetorically, "It's better to ...... Can you try it for him? ”

"Uh... The minister can't be right. Zhou Shen looked ashamed.

As the best minister in Chu State, he can't even say a few words, what face does he have?

Emperor Chu wanted to know what this next link was.

He asked Wei Wuji, "Wuji, it seems that you have to do it yourself." ”

"Erchen remembered..."Wei Wuji smiled, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Suddenly, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote: "Go to selfishness, don't seek selfish gains, and exalt yourself!" ”

Emperor Chu picked up what Wei Wuji had written, and muttered to himself: "Ligong is willing to be a public servant, and he is virtuous, and he is selfish and self-exalted." Good sentences, good couplets! ”

"This couplet should be hung in every minister's house.

Our minister, if you can do these two lines,

Can Chu Guoyan be strong? ”

Emperor Chu was very satisfied and asked people to put away the couplet.

"Mowgli, I didn't expect your talent to be so outstanding!

Compared to our Minister of Literature of Chu State, it is even higher, even more than before! ”

Emperor Chu praised again.

How dare Wei Wuji hold it up?

So, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My father has a good reputation.

The couplet is the beginning of the son, of course, it is more familiar than everyone.

It's just a play on words.

If you want to talk about learning, how can you compare with the great sages of the Chu State? ”

The general Wang Dafu smiled on the spot: "The horse is too modest, what a word game!" It should be a university question. ”

"Hmm..."

Emperor Chu also nodded and said, "The couplet is an auspicious language,

It is the people's expectation of life,

It's also a way for them to express their hearts.

We should give it our full support.

Let the people of the whole country write couplets. ”

The two paintings written by Wuji, one is hung in the Fengtian Palace, and the other is hung at the gate of the palace.

I want to let the envoys of other countries also see the couplets of our Chu country. ”

"Your Majesty is wise...", the crowd immediately habitually flattered.

Chu Ji was sullen.

Very jealous of Wei Wuji.

will lead troops to fight, so forget it.

Even writing a couplet, can you actually be outstanding?

This Chu State...... It has completely become Wei Wuji's home field.

In the future, will he still have his status?

In a burst of laughter, everyone left the workshop.

Arrived at the door.

Emperor Chu said: "I came here today, I wanted to see this couplet hanging out of the workshop, but I didn't expect to harvest another three!"

Wuji and the prince both performed well.

I will give you ten knives of fine rice paper.

In the future, when you have leisure, you can write more.

Remember, if you write a good couplet or article, you must bring it to me for appreciation. ”

"Thank you for your father's reward..."Wei Wuji and Chu Ji bowed.

The meeting dispersed.

Wei Wuji returned to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

At this time, the envoys of the Northern Qi State came to Yingdu.

He didn't go to see Emperor Chu, but came directly to the eldest princess's mansion.

"Wuji, the envoy has been waiting outside for a long time, don't you see him?" Chu Wushuang asked.

"Now the envoys of these countries have broken brains?

Come to my Chu country as an envoy,

First, I didn't submit my credentials, and second, I didn't see Emperor Chu, but I came to see me first?

This wants to let my father know, don't you care? ”

Although Wei Wuji is in a high position, he still has his own worries.

Comparing hearts to hearts, no monarch can tolerate the loss of power.

He's too showy now.

He also mastered all the elites of the Chu State.

Further, once he has a different heart, the state of Chu will immediately have to change the dynasty.

"If you think too much, my father won't care about this!"

Chu Wushuang said: "Don't let people wait in a hurry, summon it quickly." ”

"No, let him go to see Emperor Chu first."

Wei Wuji didn't agree, shook his hand and left.

Zhou Yuan stood at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion for more than an hour, and his feet were sore.

Finally, there is the word 'missing'.

He could only leave first and handed over his credentials to Emperor Chu.

According to the procedure, I went to see the Emperor of Chu first.

Emperor Chu summoned Wei Wuji.

Inside the main hall.

Zhou Yuan said: "When my emperor heard that the state of Chu was preparing to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, he intended to send an army to help.

After all, we are a military ally.

On the military side, we should advance and retreat together..."

Zhou Yuan expressed his intentions.

Historically, the two countries have been on the one side that provoked the war.

Asking for help from other countries has never been done by other countries.

Emperor Chu felt that something was wrong, so he didn't rush to agree.

He looked at Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji also didn't understand the thoughts of the Emperor of Northern Qi, so he asked tentatively: "Northern Qi can take the initiative to help, we welcome it."

But... It won't help in vain, will it?

What benefits does Gao Yan want? ”

"The colt is so smart, in a word." Zhou Yuan smiled: "What does my emperor mean...

Can...... Share with us the method of brewing fairy wine,

In this way..."

Muttering, muttering, muttering is just a word.

"It's absolutely not going to work!"

Emperor Chu simply refused.

"We all see the benefits brought by fairy wine.

His value definitely outweighs all aid.

I won't let it out. You let Gao Yan die this heart as soon as possible. ”

"Uh..."

Emperor Chu's attitude made Zhou Yuan very embarrassed.

Wei Wuji arched his hand and said: "Father, you might as well agree to give more immortal wine to the Northern Qi Kingdom, as a way to thank the reinforcements sent by the Northern Qi Kingdom." ”

"That's fine."

Emperor Chu looked at Zhou Yuan: "We, the State of Chu, can give you immortal wine worth 10 million taels,

However, it should be paid off within a year and a half.

What do you think? ”

"Thank you so much..."Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan suddenly looked overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before coming to the state of Chu, my emperor said...

For the attack on the Southern Jin Dynasty, the Northern Qi was willing to send an army of 50,000.

All were dispatched by the State of Chu. ”

"Well, that's very good!" Emperor Chu sat down slowly, rubbed his temples, and looked tired: "Wuji, you are ...... for me Receive the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty well, I am tired. ”

"Erchen (foreign minister) retires..."Wei Wuji took Zhou Yuan out of the palace.

Walk down the street.

Wei Wuji said: "Lord Zhou, I found ...... You're a good fit for business. ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yuan didn't understand what Wei Wuji meant by this.

"Just now in the Fengtian Temple, you asked for the method of brewing immortal wine.

Actually, you already expected that my father would not agree.

You didn't think you could get the recipe for brewing.

It's just to raise the price with this, so that when my father makes a counteroffer, he can give more benefits to Northern Qi.

A full 10 million taels of fairy wine is worth more than 15 million?

Aren't you clever at doing business? Wei Wuji asked with a smile.

Zhou Yuan said: "The horse is a person who understands and is subdued."

But isn't it the case that all the nations negotiate and discuss?

Without benefits, who will pay? ”

"Well said!" Wei Wuji nodded, "However, I hope that the reinforcements sent by Northern Qi must be elite.

If you send some old, weak, sick and disabled, I won't agree. ”

"Please rest assured at this point, the 100,000 troops newly formed by my Northern Qi are all young warriors.

Although I have not been on the battlefield, I have been training for more than half a year.

The equipment is also very good.

This time to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, they are willing to be the vanguard of the horses, regardless of life and death! Zhou Yuandao.

"Good!"

Zhou Yuan said these words, Wei Wuji remembered in his heart.

When the Zhao State was attacked, let the 50,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty, as the vanguard of the Eastern Expedition, attack the city and pull out the village.

After all, 10 million taels of fairy wine is not so easy to get.

There must be a price.
