Cao Ling is currently rebelling with his family and living alone. Bai Qi handed over the key he had obtained in advance to the two of them, and sat in the palace for a while.

Calming down his complicated emotions, Bai Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and said to himself: "The past cannot be changed. That's right, that's exactly what we mean by time. So, in the end we're going to win. ”

Bai Qi got up and walked towards the Yongle Palace.

Because of Huo Qu's promotion, Shi Huang and others were all present. Ji Le even held a banquet in the Yongle Hall to celebrate Huo Quai's promotion to demigod and Xia Guo's added great combat power.

Everyone sent congratulatory gifts, and Bai Qi also gave Huo Qubing a military book.

"This is my summary and understanding of the art of war, you can take a look. ”

Look at the heavenly treasures and elixirs sent by other people, and you will only give one military book? And some of the contents may still be the ones I have read?

Seeing Huo Quai's disgusted face, Bai Qi said helplessly: "No way, I haven't been out much in the past few years, and I really don't have anything on me." Why don't you owe it first?"

"No, that's it. Huo Quzhi solemnly accepted it, and then couldn't help asking: "You really don't plan to go out to fight, do you really plan to do copywriting?"

Let a general do copywriting, even Huo Quai's illness can't be seen.

"The boss and His Highness have their own plans, I don't care. ”

"Cut-if you don't open your mouth, how can they arrange it? Especially Ji Le, as long as you open your mouth to lead the troops, with his heart, he will definitely help you arrange it. That kid has a lot of shortcomings, but this is benevolence, which is not inferior to the virtuous kings of the past dynasties. ”

Bai Qi smiled faintly: "Then why don't you praise him in person?"

Every time Huo Qubing met Ji Le, he always had to find a place to stab Ji Le's self-confidence.

"I'm preventing him from being proud!"

Soon, Huo Qubing was pulled away by others. Taking advantage of the gap, Bai got up and went to Ji Le, saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "I asked clearly, they are from five hundred years later." ”

Five hundred years from now?

Ji Le said unexpectedly: "So close?"

In his thoughts, why do you want descendants after a thousand years?

"Did they say anything about the catastrophe of fate?"

"They came by accident, and they don't know much about the Fate. Even the history books they read were vague about the history of this period. ”

"Is it deliberately vague?" Ji Le, who was slightly drunk, held his forehead, got up and walked to the courtyard with Bai Qi.

"Lone still thinks that he can know about the catastrophe of fate. ”

Ten years have passed, although the national strength of the Xia State has grown, the catastrophe of fate is getting closer and closer. Many small city-states were prone to conflict, but the great kingdoms were restrained and did not carry out major military operations.

Not only Ji Le, but Bai Qi had doubts about this.

The catastrophe of fate is getting closer, or rather, it has already begun. The fog of fate obscures time, and it will not be possible to glimpse the true face for decades. From the timeline, the history of hundreds of years later can be clearly seen. But only under his feet is a muddy water, a fog, which makes people blur and can't see the truth in the catastrophe of fate.

"I thought it was deliberately sent from the future. But listening to you, it seems like it was just an accident. That is about the 'founding of the country and the sacrifice of heaven', so put it on hold for the time being. ”

Xia Guo, these ten years have passed. In the minds of the countries of the mainland, it is already a huge oriental country. The mysterious and profound cultural heritage radiates to the surrounding countries. But Ji Le knew it in his own heart.

At present, the ceremony of establishing a country to worship the heavens in the Xia Kingdom has not yet been carried out.

Of course, the reason why this step is missing is that Yang Ke and Ji Le deliberately did it. They didn't intend to establish a kingdom first and then an empire. Instead, he planned to use the administrative system of "Xia State" to directly dominate the eastern territory, and directly regarded himself as an empire when the country was founded.

Therefore, the Xia Kingdom has not yet taken a step towards establishing a national destiny like other kingdoms.

In Ji Le's words: Establish a country? First hold half of the land of the Han Dynasty. Feng Chan? How can you do it if the Lingshan is so short? If you don't find a holy mountain in the east to replace Taiyue, Feng Chan would rather not do it!

Ji Le himself has a hunch that when the Xia Kingdom truly establishes the country to worship the heavens, the trinity of the mandate of heaven, the terrain, and the human heart will be one, and he will be able to penetrate the pillar of civilization through the world and step into the realm of gods in one step.

So, this step should be cautious.

"I'm afraid it's hard to suppress the voices of the people. ”

"So find something to do and distract everyone. By the way, what about the question that is currently plaguing the main hall? Did the two future guests say anything?"

"I didn't ask in detail. But listening to the tone, judging from the future Xia Kingdom they described, it should be a 'grain standard'. ”

There is no need to ask at all, Bai Qi himself knows Ji Le's future choice.

"Grain standard?" Ji Le was a little displeased, standing in the courtyard, drunk and completely sober.

The courtyard is planted with dwarf evergreen shrubs dotted with small orange and red flowers. The two of them stood in the middle of a cobblestone path, while the maids were at the intersection.

Listening to the sound of the water in the pond not far away, Ji Le pondered silently.

At present, Xia Guo is facing a big and small difficulty. Yang Ke planned to send troops directly and solve the problem through military means. The Lingtai Temple itself is also a rehearsal for sending troops, so as to select suitable generals.

But Ji Le himself was not happy to do this.

In his opinion, the economic problems are because they can't compare with others, so they directly flip the chessboard and compare their fists, and they have already lost.

At present, there is still a way for Xia Kingdom.

"It seems that we can only discuss it with this highness. ”

Ji Le thought about it, turned his head and shouted to the maid at the intersection: "Yi-Zheng Dan, come here-"

"Does Your Highness know that it is a concubine?" Zheng Dan walked over in a green coat with a surprised face.

Bai Yi was surprised: "Why are you wearing Xi Shi's clothes?"

At first, even he mistook it for Shih Tzu standing at the door waiting.

"She was drunk just now, so the concubine forcibly came out to replace her without changing her clothes. I thought that His Royal Highness favored Yiguang, and he couldn't notice it when he changed into her clothes, but he didn't expect it to be broken. ”

Ji Le looked as he should be: "I have been with you all the year round, can even your sisters admit their mistakes?" Yiguang is as soft as water, but you are as resolute as fire." Besides, you both have their own strengths, and I've never been able to say who I like better. ”

"For me, whether it's water or fire, would I put a fire in a waterhole and use water to light firewood?"

"Yiguang has been with me for more than ten years, aren't you the same? Water can quench thirst, fire can light candles, both are indispensable. ”

Zheng Dan smiled, didn't say anything more, and bowed down to worship the goddess of grains.

Bai Qi watched from the side for a long time, nodded and said, "Well, a word a day, it's done." As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down what Ji Le had just said.

Ji Le frowned and turned his head to look at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi explained with a smile: "Your Highness's nouns and good words, I plan to record them one by one, and go back and sell a copy of "Love Words". At least, you'll have money for the next gift. ”

Ji Le said dishappily: "What kind of love words? I'll only tell the truth." ”

Hehe, what you say to those witch girls in the Yongle Hall every day, when you go back and spread it, it will definitely make many people chase their lovers smoothly.

"Your Highness has three provinces every day, don't you remember what you said every day?"

Bai Qi flipped through his notes and pointed to the records of the previous days.

"A few days ago, Yu Yu returned to the palace, and you praised her for her 'starry eyes and teeth, and her jade face captivating the country'. And yesterday the goddess Yuanxi visited, and you also praised her. If there is a 'god of beauty' among the gods, it is definitely her. even praised the goddess of Huifeng in the air, saying that 'watching the woman knows her mother', and the Xia Kingdom should not use the name of 'Huifeng' to worship the god of Huifeng, but should directly use 'Meihui'.

Shouldn't you keep a good record of what you say?"

"What kind of compliment? This is obviously a fact, and it is a heartfelt statement. ”

"Oh. Bai Qi continued to write down Ji Le's words. Anyway, he has no self-knowledge behind his face.

"Your Highness...... If you sell your whole person, your face is worth seven points, and the remaining three points are all due to your mouth. ”

"Nonsense, the most valuable thing in me is obviously my benevolent heart that cares about the world! Phew, no, it's not valuable. My broad benevolence, which carries the inheritance of the Yanhuang civilization, is a priceless treasure!"

Inexplicably, Ji Le thought of his lips with his friends when he was on Earth. Looks like that guy said something similar?

"Take your whole body out and sell it for a million. Your face is worth 700,000, and the remaining 300,000 is in your mouth. As for your physical waste itself, huh...... Worthless.

I said, you talk sweetly all day long, are you tired? You are not tired, my ears are calloused. ”

Removing the cranky thoughts in his mind, Ji Le reached out and grabbed the notebook in his hand.

"I'm the state, I've decided, this book is forbidden to be published!

"I'm sorry, the publishing industry is under the control of Emperor Shi. Otherwise, I'll go back to Rome and publish. ”

Bai Qi held up the note high, but didn't let Ji Le get it.

Looking at Bai Qi, who was a head taller than himself, Ji Le secretly grinded his teeth.

In the past ten years, another result of the explosion of the national population is the shrinkage of Ji Le's height.

Can anyone tell me who set the rule that the height of the national spirit is equal to the average height of citizens of the same age?

Ji Le's current manifestation posture is youth, and the average height of young people in this period is much lower than in previous years.

According to the records of Emperor Shi's investigation, because 20 years ago in a period of national turmoil, Yang Ke was in charge of the country, and the fertility of the people declined, not to mention the number of people in that group, and they were congenitally insufficient, resulting in the people during this period of time being very short.

But I also have to say that Yang Ke's group of people back then was really good. The tall men led by Yang Ke raised the average value, which did not affect Ji Le's original height.

But what about this batch now......

indirectly affects Ji Le's own height. It has fallen by 10 centimeters from 10 years ago, and this is the sad history of falling from 1.8 meters to 1.7 meters.

"I think you should really thank Yang Ke. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid your height would have dropped a few years ago. ”

"Cut—then I'll go back and toss him a few times. ”

"Just a few times?" I said, you don't count me for a day, you feel uncomfortable, right?" Yang Ke's voice came from behind.

Seeing Yang Ke coming, Ji Le and Bai Qi stopped fighting.

"That's right, eating, sleeping and playing with Yang Ke, isn't this a normal life?" Ji Le raised his chin, and his demeanor was somewhat similar to Yuan Xi: "Why are you here?"

"I saw that the girl Yiguang went to worship the goddess of grain, and came to ask. Why do you think of sacrificing her? Aren't you afraid that the great goddess of our family will lose her temper?"

"Won-hee knows about it. And it does need to ask the Goddess of Grains for help. It just so happens that you're here, let's listen to it. Regarding the issue of currency, I do not think that a military solution is the best solution. ”
