After chatting with each other for a few words, they saw that Emperor Chu Ling hesitated for a moment, but took out a handwritten book from his arms and handed it to Xiao Mo, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, and said: "Zirou, this story is a ghost and god story that I wrote in my spare time after I read the "Ask the Immortals" you wrote, but although I have written it with my heart and strive to improve it, compared with your stories, I always feel unsatisfactory. [Reading Network]"

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, took a look, but saw that on the cover of the book, the two big characters "Changsheng" were written in Yan style and opened it to see that it was actually a fairy tale!!

Seeing this fairy tale story written by Emperor Chu Ling himself, Xiao Mo raised his head in astonishment and looked at Emperor Chu Ling incredulously.

Xiao Mo couldn't have imagined that Emperor Chu Ling, as the supreme in the world, would write this kind of Xianxia story that is regarded by the world as a sidewalk, and today he personally came to seek advice from himself for this Xianxia story!!

In fact, Emperor Chu Ling has been seeking immortals for many years, and Pinggu also has many fantasies about becoming immortals, and it is precisely because of this that he was so fascinated by the fairy tales written by Xiao Mo in the first place. Over the years, he has personally written a fairy tale called "Eternal Life", which is the imagination of ghosts and gods in Emperor Chu Ling's heart over the years, with more than 200,000 words.

However, Emperor Chu Ling's research on Taoist scriptures is far from being comparable to Xiao Mo, and compared with the fairy tales that Xiao Mo wrote before, there is a little less spirituality and imagination, but a little more atmosphere and rigor.

Obviously, this "Eternal Life", Emperor Chu Ling wrote it very seriously and worked very hard.

But even so, Emperor Chu Ling was still not very satisfied with this "Immortality", and he came to visit Xiao Mo this day, but it was precisely to let Xiao Mo help revise it.

It's just that, as an emperor, he spent so much time thinking about and writing such a useless story, is it a bit too unprofessional?

At least, when the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng saw this "Immortality" written by Emperor Chu Ling himself, his face instantly darkened.

When Xiao Mo finally recovered his composure from his incomparable surprise and immersed himself in reading, the Eight Sages King couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly said, "Big brother!" You...... How many big things are waiting for you to decide at home on a daily basis, but you spend a lot of time doing such boring things!! Big brother, this kind of bizarre story is just a gossip, you are like this, how can you be like this?! ”

Turning his head to look at the Eight Sages King who was righteous and serious, Emperor Chu Ling's face changed slightly, and he just wanted to ask Xiao Mo to help him revise this Xianxia story called "Eternal Life", but he forgot that the Eight Sages King was still by his side.

In fact, with Emperor Chu Ling's current status, there is only one person in the world who can control Emperor Chu Ling.

If in the past, in the face of the questioning of the Eight Sage Kings, Emperor Chu Ling would inevitably admit his mistakes and reform them quickly, at least in front of the Eight Sage Kings, he would not make any more mistakes.

But the book "Eternal Life" is the work of Emperor Chu Ling, for which he spent his heart and soul and worked hard for a long time, but he couldn't be abolished because of the words of the Eight Sages King, so he explained to the Eight Sages King with a wry smile: "Eighth brother, those ghost legends and fairy tales, although they are small paths, they are also one of the preferences of the brother, but they are written in their free time, to pass the time, to increase the interest, will not delay the business." Besides, didn't Zirou also write this kind of fairy tale back then? ”

The Eight Sages King seemed to feel that he had been too harsh and rude to Emperor Chu Ling's words before, and he had lost his duty as a courtier, so he took a deep breath and spit out a long breath, and finally regained his composure, and persuaded slowly: "Big brother, Zirou has a different identity, there are some things he can do, but you can't do it." What's more, the reason why Zirou wrote those bizarre stories back then was just because her family was poor and she didn't want her family to suffer, so she made money in this way, which was filial piety. And after Zirou became famous, how could she have ever specialized in this kind of side-door approach again? As far as I know, in order to concentrate on Confucian scriptures, Zirou rarely even writes poetry. In the past, you sought the Tao and asked the immortals, delved into poetry and songs, and that's it, no matter what, it was also the right path for literati, but how can you do these things that are out of the way? If the world knows, what will they think of you? ”

Emperor Chu Ling shook his head with a wry smile again, and explained: "It's just written in private, how can people in the world know?" ”

However, the Eight Sages King said: "You should be strict with yourself and show others in a fair and upright manner, let alone in private." ”

Xiao Mo was still looking at the "Immortality" written by Emperor Chu Ling, and only felt that although he lacked spirituality, it was also quite flavorful to read, but after hearing the argument between Emperor Chu Ling and the Eight Sages, he raised his head and persuaded: "Eighth Master, you don't have to blame Tian seniors just for such a story, in my opinion, this kind of story is legendary, but it can send people to think and think, and even the revenge in their hearts, it is certainly a trail today, but thousands of years ago, how could qin, chess, calligraphy and painting not be a trail?" Perhaps more than a hundred years later, this story and legend can be compared with qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is also possible to be a literati artist. ”

Zhang Qian said with a smile on the side: "What's more, this "Eternal Life", Tian Ye just wrote it in his free time, just to pass the time, don't get down to business, the eighth master doesn't need to care." ”

looked at Zhang Qian, and then at Xiao Mo, the Eight Sages King sighed, he was quite lonely, and said to Xiao Mo: "Zirou, you don't know, my eldest brother has a different identity, and his subordinates are in charge of Nuoda's family business, how many things do you need him to decide on weekdays?" You shouldn't waste time on this trail, but how much can you do in this time? In fact, it has been a big "m jade J." Saying that, the Eight Sages King thought of the scene when the first emperor was alive, he was diligent in political affairs and could only sleep for three or four hours a day, and then thought of what Emperor Chu Ling had done in the past 20 years, and sighed gloomily again.

Looking at the appearance of the Eight Sages King, Emperor Chu Ling said that he nodded yes and said that he would never do it again in the future, but he didn't think so in his heart, in the years after he ascended the throne, there was Zhang Qian in literary affairs and Wang Han in martial affairs.

In fact, Emperor Chu Ling still can't understand why the first emperor was so busy in his life.

On the other side, Zhang Qian looked at the Eight Sages King who was quite lonely, but a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Chu Ling is not a wise emperor, but he can get the support of his ministers, because Emperor Chu Ling is good at delegating power and ruling by doing nothing.

And over the years, the Eight Sages King has asked Emperor Chu Ling to withdraw all the powers in his hands more than once and restrict the power of his ministers, but Zhang Qian can't help but be vigilant in his heart.

At this arsenic, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly moved slightly, feeling that this was a good time to remind everyone of the matter of the Di clan, but he slowly spoke again. "The words of the eighth master, but the younger generations dare not agree. Regardless of governing the country or governing the family, the so-called way of management, the highest level is actually just the way of managing talents, as long as the good use of talents, so that the good people focus on their own things, all sides, each has a good talent to help each other, but there is no need to bow down to the person, as long as the rule is inactive, and as a master, but only need to control the general direction and trend. It can be said that the head of the family and country should often be the most idle person. Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Emperor Chu Ling, King Eight Sages, and Zhang Qian all looked at Xiao Mo at the same time, among them, Emperor Chu Ling was full of smiles, and only felt that Xiao Mo's words were deep in my heart, while Zhang Qian was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo to have such insight.

Only the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng looked even more gloomy.

Although he couldn't agree with all of Xiao Mo's words, he also felt that there was some truth.

However, could he say to Xiao Mo that Emperor Chu Ling was not ruling by inaction now, but simply not being treated? It is still necessary to control the general trend and direction of inaction, but Emperor Chu Ling may not even be able to say how much the Chu Dynasty has earned.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Mo turned everyone's topic to politics.

The Eight Sages and Zhang Qian have been dealing with political affairs for more than 20 years and are very experienced, and although Emperor Chu Ling said that he did not like government affairs, Xiao Mo's point of view that "the king rules by doing nothing, and the good ones under his subordinates concentrate on their own affairs" was very much agreed with him, so he was also full of interest when discussing it at this moment.

And with the discussion between everyone, the face of the Eight Sages King improved slightly, but it was Emperor Chu Ling who said the most, but it was Zhang Qian, who had been in charge of the affairs of the court and China over the years, and he was the most low-key, and only occasionally applauded Emperor Chu Ling's words, which made Emperor Chu Lingdi more interested.

Obviously, it was not for nothing that Zhang Qian was able to win the trust and favor of Emperor Chu Ling for twenty years.

According to the experience of later generations, Xiao Mo will select some ways of governing that are suitable for the environment of the Chu Dynasty and are relatively relaxed, and the policy ideas will be mentioned to everyone, but it will also make everyone feel novel, think carefully, and feel that it makes sense, and the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic.

As for asking Xiao Mo to revise "Immortality", because the Eight Sages King was present, it was not easy to mention it again.

Several people talked and talked, and under the traction of Xiao Mo, they talked about the many vassal states of the Chu Dynasty.

From Annan to Dali, from Sanhan to Tubo, when everyone talked about the nomads on the northern grasslands, Xiao Mo suddenly let out a long sigh, "Why is Zirou sighing?" Seeing Xiao Mo, who had always been calm and reserved, suddenly sighed, everyone was curious and asked Xiao Mo the reason.

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Without him, I just thought of some things, I was worried, I scared myself, and I was a mediocre person." "When Xiao Mo talked about politics, although there were many views that were not agreed with by the Eight Sages King, he also showed a very steady and old age, and he couldn't help but win the favor of the Eight Sages King.

After hearing what Xiao Mo said, he said with a smile: "Zirou, if you are worried, why don't you tell us about it?" Maybe I can help you out. "The Eight Sages King thought that Xiao Mo had encountered something difficult himself, and he kindly wanted to help Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo shook his head and sighed: "This is just my momentary guess, and I am not sure. What's more, this kind of thing, unless it is a member of the court or a close minister of His Majesty, it can't help at all. Hearing what Xiao Mo said, Emperor Chu Ling and King Eight Sages, the two emperors and princes who had paid private interviews, were even more curious and asked again and again.

Zhang Qian, on the other hand, was thoughtful in his eyes, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth when he looked at Xiao Mo.

He had vaguely guessed what Xiao Mo was about to say.

In fact, the matter of the Di clan mentioned by Xiao Mo was a threat to the Chu Dynasty, but for him, it was a great opportunity!!

Seeing that he had already aroused everyone's curiosity, under the successive questioning of Emperor Chu Ling and the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo slowly told everyone his speculation that the northern Di clan would invade in the autumn harvest, and even the news he got from Liu Bo and Qiu Hong later.

After a debate similar to that between Xiao Mo and Shan Zuotang a year ago, the expressions of Emperor Chu Ling, the Eight Sages King, and Zhang Qian were different.
