There are still 20 days left before May 13th, and with the approval of Emperor Han Ling, the court is naturally busy preparing a ceremony for the birth of a true dragon!

The production of the dragon chair has already reached the end stage, and Guo Yi asked the craftsmen to complete it on time, and he is not in a hurry. Among the things I have to do, two have been completed, but the steel filling method has not yet been reached, and the process needs to be accelerated.

"Well, if only I were a science student." Guo Yi's physics and chemistry levels stayed in high school, and after finishing college, he basically lost everything. The guidance of the steel filling method can only put forward some suggestions on the formula, and how to achieve it still needs to be adjusted by craftsmen.

"My lord, the general is invited."

Hearing this, Guo Yi stopped what he was doing, "Fan Xin, I'll leave it to you here, keep an eye on it." ”

"No."

took the carriage to the general's mansion, this time it was not a big banquet, but He Jin made a private appointment with him, and there were two tables in the living room. As soon as Guo Yi arrived at the door, He Jin came to greet him, and the two of them entered the house and sat down after a few polite words.

Thanks to the popularity of modern tables and chairs, it is now possible to get closer to each other. He Jin raised his glass to toast, and the two drank for a round first.

"This time I have to give up my sister, I have Master Lao."

He Jin didn't talk about the queen, but about the sister, which shows that he has the intention to shorten the distance with Guo Yi and increase the sense of closeness.

Guo Yi, as a subordinate, naturally can't follow his words, and the title still has to be very clear. said: "The queen's mother is unspeakably expensive, and the lower officials are just a little thin." ”

He Jin waved his hand, drank another glass, and said, "My lord is too humble." I was born as a butcher and didn't know poetry and books, so I suffered a big loss! In the future, you have to remind the girl to pay more attention. ”

"The queen is alert and intelligent, so there must be no need to worry."

"Recently, the emperor told me that he wanted to find a teacher for the prince. I think this civil and military official, the highest poetry, is none other than an adult. I especially want to invite adults to be the prince's teacher, I wonder if adults have time? ”

Taifu? This is the most expensive official position in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and once the crown prince ascends the throne, it can be done as prime minister. Now the person who is responsible for educating Liu Wei and Liu Xie education courses is mainly Yuan Kui, Lu Zhi and other Shangshu officials, and the person who handed in the martial arts course is named Wang Yue, known as the first swordsman in the world.

"Xia Guan is young, and he still needs to exercise for a few days. What's more, what the emperor learned was not poetry, but the way to rule the world. The subordinate officials are only filial piety and incorruptible backgrounds, and they have no way to command the army and soldiers, and there is no way to control their subordinates, so it is difficult to be a teacher. ”

"That's true." He Jin nodded, of course teaching poetry is Guo Yi's specialty, but it is not much use for the emperor to learn poetry. The decrees are all written on their behalf. If you want to sit on the throne, you need to master the art of kingship. Guo Yi is young and from a humble family, so naturally he won't.

"The matter is put on hold for the time being. The emperor is in good health, and the prince is still young, so there is no need to rush for a while. ”

The two drank another round, which was considered to be the friendship of the guest and the host. He Jin sent him all the way to the door, and the courtesy was very good.

Zhao Rou was waiting for him to come back at the door, with a look of joy on her face. "Double happiness is coming!"

"How?" Guo Yi first took her into his arms and kissed her a few times before entering the house with her.

"Xin'er is pregnant!"

Zhao Rou is about to be upgraded to become a grandmother. But Guo Yi glanced at her stomach again, could it be that she had a problem? Zhao Rou's face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "These days, the master is busy with everything, and he goes out in the middle of the night, and he doesn't hurt me." ”

"It shouldn't have been unresponsive for so long." Guo Yi is not a gynecologist, so naturally he can't say anything. It's okay if you're not pregnant, if you're really pregnant, you're really not ready to be a father now. "Tell me, what's the second joy?"

"The lord has made a fortune." Zhao Rou pulled him into the hall, only to see that there were all kinds of boxes, of course, these things were gifts from others.

"This is a gift from the general, a thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, and thirty taels of ayaluo."

"This is the squire ......"

"This is Shangshu ......"

"It's a long history......"

Every gift Zhao Rou is registered, and after calculation, this batch of gifts is worth Guo Yi's income for a hundred years. The excuse of these gift givers is nothing more than to start the summer heat soon, and give the adults a little money to buy ice cubes.

Only He Jin, the reason for writing is high-sounding, "a thousand gold buys endowment"!

"Except for the general's part, all the others are returned." Of course, it is legal for He Jin to spend money to "buy", and other gifts will become an excuse for the Ten Standing Servants to attack him for accepting bribes, and they cannot be truthful.

"The concubine body also has this meaning." Zhao Rou had expected this a long time ago, the two had been together for a long time, and each other's personalities were still clear. Leave He Jin's share behind, and return the rest untouched.

"Does the lord have any official business tonight?"

"Nope." Guo Yi heard the sound of the strings and knew what it meant, and immediately picked her up, put her on the table, and said with a smile: "Feed you little goblin immediately." ”

In order to prepare for the ceremony, the palace was busy both inside and outside. Guo Yi didn't know much about these large-scale ceremonies, and he didn't need to be responsible, so he plunged into Jiangzuo Temple to study the steel filling method.

Doing research is always hard, and repeated experiments can be tiresome. If there are still people who keep harassing you, it will be even more troublesome.

For various reasons, the Ten Standing Servants accused Guo Yi of wasting money, steelmaking had nothing to do with the ceremony, etc., and basically said it several times a day. But now Emperor Ling of Han is on the rise, and he didn't listen to them.

Although Emperor Han Ling is a faint monarch, he plays a good balance technique. In recent years, when the Ten Standing Servants have deviated from each other, he has approached the courtiers, and Guo Yi is just a pawn temporarily used to suppress the Ten Standing Servants. If the arrogance of the courtiers comes up, then let the Ten Standing Servants re-indulge in chaos and chaos in the court.

It's just that it plays with imperial power so much, and it costs the national glory of the Han Dynasty. is like the Ming Dynasty emperor who was blown into the sky in later generations. An emperor must be good at power, but he can't only use power. The people would not give up the uprising because of the emperor's skill.

One day, when he was about to get off work, Zhao Liu sent a message, "My lord, Guo Guifei is invited." ”

"Guo Guifei? Who? Guo Yi doesn't remember knowing this person.

Zhao Liudao: "Guo Guifei was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and is the granddaughter of the third prince Guo Xi. ”

"So it's still my family. Go meet you. ”

Guo Yi belongs to the Zhending Guo family, yes, it is the Guo family of Guo Shengtong, the first queen of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But Guo Yi is just a side branch, and he has been separated for more than 100 years, and he can barely shout "behind the famous family" to the outside world. But this thing is just like Liu Bei's "King of Zhongshan County", very empty. Only when you dominate one side will you be recognized. Of course, in a high position, his subordinates will give the boss some "illustrious" deeds anyway.

To put it simply, the only connection between Zhending Guo and Yingchuan Guo is: the surname Guo!
