Seeing the king coming, everyone in the hall hurriedly shouted three times Long live the king, it seems that with his majesty, this royal family is no longer as lifeless as before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After sitting down, thinking of the TV plot he watched in his previous life, Zhou Bian suddenly felt that this situation was a bit like the promotion of county officials in later generations, he sat on the stage by himself, and on both sides were the three classes of officials, and the one who knelt down was a prisoner, and he couldn't help but itch in his heart and wanted to spoof it, so he said loudly, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

Bai Gui knew the king, but at this time the hall was dim and he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't dare to see more, for fear of committing the king's taboo and provoking the queen mother's displeasure. When he heard the king's extraordinarily novel question, Bai Gui and everyone in general felt a little strange in their hearts, but in the past, the king had seen a lot of strangeness, so it was naturally strange at this time, so Bai replied without hesitation to the king's words, "Back to the king, the one who knelt down in the hall is the guilty minister Bai Gui, and I have come to ask the king for his guilt!" ”

It turned out that this Bai Gui was such an interesting person, and Zhou Bian couldn't help but tease it again, but before he could speak, he heard the young master shouting again, "The king didn't say that he accepted you, but you began to call yourself a minister, and tell me what kind of minister you are?" ”

As soon as she heard what the young master said was not nutritious, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, someone came to join the king, it was a happy event, although there was a suspicion of causing the king to get sick, but there was no need to be so bad with others. However, the Queen Mother didn't move her mouth yet, and someone did it for her, but it was the young master who said sharply, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's minister, what is the status of the young master to the Son of Heaven with these words?" ”

This impulse made a mistake, usually the ministers of the countries did not take the king seriously, so due to inertia, the young master made a big mistake this time, so the young master bowed his head and returned to his original position after pleading guilty and stopped talking.

After glaring at the young master, Zhou Bian returned to his train of thought and said, "I don't know what the crime is, please stand up and speak." ”

Bai Gui kowtowed again and said, "The gift of the Son of Heaven, the minister does not dare not accept it, but the sins of the ministers have not been clarified, and they dare not easily stand up to offend Tianyan. ”

This is a condition, how can such a shrewd person as Bai Gui let go of any advantageous way, Zhou Bian knows very well in his heart, but he only thinks that Bai Gui is more and more available, the more shrewd people are, the more they will not do loss-making business, as long as Bai Gui is sincere to work, then Zhou Bian will definitely be reused. So Zhou Bian nodded and motioned for Bai Gui to continue.

"There are three sins of the minister. First, the minister does not know the face of the heavens, and speaks to the king at will in the market, and does not perform the courtesy of the ministers, which is the crime of disrespect; second, the minister vainly does business with the royal family, takes the benefits of the royal family, and is guilty of deception; Third, the minister's caravan was attacked in Songshan, but he was troubled by the king to lead his troops to seek justice, so that the king was seriously ill and guilty of recklessness. With these three crimes, the minister did not dare not be afraid. After that, Bai Gui threw himself to the ground and made a big salute and lay on the ground.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Bian replied, "In the past, this king claimed to be the son of Xian, so there is no crime of disrespect, and those who don't know are not guilty." Secondly, business dealings are mutually beneficial to both parties, if there is no Bai caravan, how can the products of my royal family be exchanged for what the royal family needs, this is not guilty. Again, this king led the recruits to the south, in fact, it was a training army, not a caravan alone, but the king has the responsibility of security, and this king is the son of heaven, although he can't calm the disaster of the world, he must do it to stabilize the side under his eyelids. As for the king's illness, this is the will of heaven, not man-made, and the king is not to blame. In this case, if the Qing family has anything to say, please speak calmly. ”

Saying that, Zhou Bian got up and walked down the hall, and reached out to help Bai Gui up in the surprised eyes of everyone. The old stubborn young master was about to speak again, but he was glared back by the Queen Mother and the Grand Master, and Bai Gui didn't make any more gestures this time, so Zhou Bian smoothly helped Bai Gui up.

Bai Gui got up and was about to thank him, but he heard the king say next, "This king and Bai Gongzi have known each other for a long time, and they are deeply admired by Bai Gongzi's talent. Therefore, this king has been thinking for a long time, to follow the example of King Wen to invite the prince, the prince to worship, and conspire to revive the great cause of the royal family, I don't want the prince to come in person today, so that the king is very happy, the words of the king are jokes, such as the son is so talented, the king is not begging, sweeping the bed, but I don't know what the prince wants? Saying that, Zhou Bian arched his hand, although it may be a bit too much to compare it to Taigong Jiang Ziya, but this Bai Gui is indeed a talent, the royal family lacks everything now, but what is most lacking is talent, so Zhou Bian's gesture is also extremely sincere.

Sure enough, there were still people who were not happy to see this scene, and a cold snort came, no need to look back, no need to use your brain to think about it, you knew that it was the young master. Zhou Bian just ignored it and looked at Bai Gui eagerly.

Bai Gui came this time naturally made up his mind to serve the royal family, and when he came, he was afraid that the Queen Mother and others would blame, or the former Xian Gongzi and the current king would not be seen, at this time, seeing that only the young master had other ideas, the Queen Mother and the Grand Master all acquiesced to herself, and the king made a full gesture, Bai Gui was not satisfied at this time, and Bai Dagongzi, who knew that he was full of losses, immediately bowed his head and saluted, and replied respectfully.

"The king has said it, Xiang Ribai only knows how to talk loudly, but he has no experience in governing the country, my king is satisfied if he doesn't dislike Bai, how dare he compare with Taigongwang, isn't this killing Bai. The king please don't have to do what he thinks, Bai came this time, is determined to serve the king, I heard people say that the seeker is in the city, the name seeker is in the court, Bai has a lot of wealth in this body, and now he just wants to seek the fame of the future in all generations, and the royal family is orthodox in the world, the destiny of heaven, and now the holy son of heaven is as smart as this, the revival of the royal family is just around the corner, Bai just wants to do his best, touch the light of the king's endeavor, if my king does not give up, Bai will do his best from now on, be loyal, and swear allegiance to my king! ”

Looking at Bai Gui with a rigorous face at this time, Zhou Bian was also deeply gratified in his heart, from the suspicion when he first met, to the fact that he did not forget to test each other when he had a good conversation, and then to test each other behind his back when he was in business dealings, scene after scene emerged, Zhou Bian only felt that the friendship between the monarch and the minister was nothing more than this, and turned his head to look at the Queen Mother and the Taishi and others, except for the young master who automatically ignored them, several people nodded. Zhou Bian knew that the first virtuous talent he had accepted after crossing had finally arrived, so he turned around and nodded heavily at Bai Gui.

"My king doesn't dislike it, and Bai will serve the king's order in the future!" As he spoke, Bai Gui lifted his clothes and knelt down. I didn't know that this ancient man was so particular, Zhou Bian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but he listened to the Queen Mother's words.

"Wang'er, the ceremony cannot be abolished, if you don't let the Bai family finish the big ceremony today, the Bai family will not be at peace in the future."

Zhou Bian was stunned when he heard this, and Bai Gui bowed. This great ceremony is naturally different, since ancient times, it is three kneeling and nine knocking, Bai Gui is naturally also a courtesy, kowtowing three heads to stand up, then kneeling down and kowtowing three heads again, and then standing up and then kneeling down and kowtowing three heads, which will be the end of the etiquette rules and regulations.

After the Bai family finished the ceremony, seeing that Zhou Bian was still in a daze, the Queen Mother was naturally dissatisfied, "Wang'er, since the Bai family is a virtuous person you can't ask for, why don't you bow down and return the salute to show respect?" ”

That's true, I forgot about this, Liu Bang didn't worship until after bathing and fasting, Uncle Liu Huang didn't say anything about it, even after King Wen invited Jiang Taigong, he also personally carried the sedan chair back, and he couldn't be too backward, so Zhou Bian also bowed three times in a regular manner, although it was a little simpler, but after dating for so long, presumably Bai Gui would not be surprised.

Bai Gui was also confident, and he accepted the three bows with peace and contentment. Zhou Bian didn't know what to say, but fortunately, the Queen Mother broke the siege in time, "Wang'er, since the Bai family is here, you must say something." "I know that although the king has more ideas, he is still a nine-year-old child after all, so as the queen mother, the queen mother naturally reminds him more.

However, Zhou Bian made it difficult to hear it, how can the queen mother not understand the meaning, but I don't know what position to set up, at this time the official position and the title are not separated, if you are high, such as ranking as the secretary, I am afraid that many people will not be convinced, and if you give a taxi, it will be too faceless. So Zhou Bian said tentatively, "According to this king, how about sealing Bai Qing as a doctor?" At this time, the titles have changed, but Zhou Bian still said that he looked at the Queen Mother out of the corner of his eyes, and the Queen Mother was much more experienced than himself in the officialdom.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied when she heard this, and what Wang Er said was very much in line with her heart, so she nodded and said, "Just according to Wang Er, let's seal a doctor first, and if you make meritorious contributions to the royal family in the future, you can have a sealed seat." ”

The Queen Mother's words were still nice, Zhou Bian immediately looked at Bai Guidao, "What does Bai Qing think?" ”

"The minister respectfully obeys the will of the king and the queen mother, and the minister has thanked the king and the queen mother!" Bai Gui smiled and arched his hand, in fact, he himself didn't care very much about this newly sealed official position, Bai Gui was confident that he would go further in the future.

With the official behind him, Taishi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, and in the future, they will be ministers in the same hall, and Bai Gui helped the royal family without reservation in borrowing money, Taishi is still grateful, and even the young master knows that the king's order is irrevocable, so he changed his face and stepped forward to say happy. For a while, the court was full of joy, Bai Guijiu was in the shopping mall, he was already a delicate person, and this time he changed from business to politics, so it was natural to deal with these scenes.

It took a long time for the lobby to be quiet, and now Zhou Bian has a more virtuous person to help, although he still has some concern for Zhou Bian's illness, but the Queen Mother is a person who can let go, so she is naturally happy for Zhou Bian, and when she saw that she didn't need to be here at this time, she left first.
