Imperial City of May, Imperial Palace Imperial Study......

Outside the door of the imperial study, there was a soldier who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in armor, and his face was handsome, standing there, rubbing his hands together because of the cold weather, while looking at the surrounding palace buildings, sighing at the grandeur of this place, and glad that he had the opportunity to meet the emperor as a grass citizen.

His surname is Li, his name is Mengqi, and his name is more neutral, which is the name taken by his grandfather who raised him since he was a child, as for the meaning of the name...... Grandpa told him to let him find it himself.

But he finally didn't hear the meaning of the name he came up with, because as early as more than a hundred years ago, he died on the battlefield with an old general surnamed Yi.

I remember that half a month ago, when he was still guarding the city in Lancheng, Nanyue Prefecture, an extremely beautiful girl bribed herself in front of the city gate, hoping to let her go.

Of course, the emperor strictly forbade this move, but for some reason, the heavens suddenly ordered that anyone who had recently bribed the soldiers must help them unconditionally, and the people guarding the city gate were fixed, and they were not allowed to be sent at will without an order.

Although the soldiers were puzzled, they did not think much about it, after all, for them the order is their everything.

Of course, the main reason is that the money delivered to the door has also issued an order that must be taken, so the opportunity for pie to fall from the sky without paying the price is not happening every month, and there is no reason to refuse.

The defenders of the city are divided into eight people, a team of four people, each team guards one day, and takes turns at twelve o'clock at noon every day.

Of course, the brothers who defended the city in those days made a lot of money and were overjoyed, but he, who had always called himself optimistic and cheerful, rarely showed a worried look, because although he did not know what these people were doing here, those who came in by bribes knew that they were not good, at least not to deliver food to the empire.

Somehow, it may be the so-called patriotic feelings that are at work.

I have heard that the current living saints have set up admonition halls in various parts of the empire, as long as there are clever plans that can benefit the people and enrich the empire, or if there is any fault of their own, the corruption of local officials can come to visit them through the admonition hall.

Therefore, he only waited for him to be able to move freely, and then tried to see if he could report what happened to the emperor at this time, and all the money he obtained was kept evenly, and he did not dare to use a penny.

I remember that when he was guarding the city gate, there were fourteen people who made a special impression on her, because they basically came here at noon every day to pay bribes, and for the first seven days (he meant how many days he guarded the city gate), they all left to do their own business after paying bribes, but one night on the eighth day, there was a girl named Bingchen who made a special impression on herself.

She didn't pay bribes, she just said that she didn't have any money but wanted to enter Lancheng, but where were we willing to let go, seeing that words didn't work, she cried and shouted like a child pestering us to let her go, and several brothers were also the second monk who was puzzled, and refused to let go after hesitating for a while.

After crying for a while, the man didn't know if his head was watt or how it was dripping, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead and asked a few of our soldiers directly about the state of the May Empire.

The brothers were collectively speechless for a while.

What kind of hellish operation is this, have the spies been so arrogant that they have openly asked the enemy country for information?

There was a burst of crying when we didn't talk, and it was a miracle that we didn't arrest her and put her in the little dark room.

Suddenly, she stopped crying and turned to us with a hippie smile and said, "People have been observing you these days, every time someone gives a bribe, no matter how much you give, you have let me go one by one, can anyone who also bribe me can also be released?"

We were stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."

"I don't have a little money, but I'm okay to pay a bribe?" said the girl with a wink.

As soon as the three brothers heard that she wanted to be compensated, their eyes suddenly lit up with golden light, and they quickly stepped forward and stared at Bingchen with a lewd smile and said, "Hey, hey, hey, that's a meat compensatory for a few of us, or do we separate and let us break them one by one!"

That being said, Li Mengqi knew that the three of them were just looking at her beautiful and having a flirtatious heart, if they really wanted to do those dirty things, they couldn't do it.

"What's so different about this, of course it's together!" Bingchen said with a smile as he covered his mouth with his index finger.

"But are you going to lie to me?" Bingchen said with a puzzled expression.

The three soldiers immediately stood side by side neatly and said in unison: "We swear, if we lie to you, we will stand there and let you squeak the three of us!"

Bingchen didn't understand what it meant to squeak, but she smiled slightly, and pulled out her huge ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ from her chest with her hands on her chest The chicken was given to each of the four people.

Well...... That's right! It's chicken! It's four pieces of freshly beaten raw chicken!

Since it's meat compensation, there's nothing wrong with taking chicken, isn't it! (funny) The girl just threw down the three soldiers who were holding the chicken and Li Mengqi, who was already laughing and couldn't stand the ground, and strode into the city.

"It turns out that the flesh is paid... You can do that like this......" muttered a stunned soldier.

When I was just returning home at noon the next day, a girl of seven or eight years old suddenly appeared out of nowhere, she held her thighs and pestered her face, asking me to tell her about the state of the May Empire.

Later, when I asked, it was the girl who wanted to "pay for the meat" last night......

After pestering me for a day, I slowly got to know each other, guessing that she might be a child of some big force who escaped because she was bored at home, of course, it can't be some secret agent.

And then ...... She has a very big heart and a very thick skin to live in her own house to eat and drink, but I am the only one in the family anyway, so I allow it by default.

As for the future, she stayed for a few days and ran away after asking all the things she wanted to know, and she didn't know where she went.

Later, when the city defense period was over, I took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street in the early hours of the morning, so I went to the Admonition Hall to make a statement, but on the way, I ran into a middle-aged eunuch who called himself Miao Gonggong and asked me to go to the palace to meet the current saint.

"Rustling ......"

When the soldier was recalling, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him, looked back and saw a swaying figure in the distance walking forward, and after a closer look, it was the Miao Gonggong who was smiling with kind eyebrows and kind eyes before, his thin face was so thin that he could see a little vicissitudes, and his body looked crumbling but he wore the eunuch uniform meticulously, his waist was naturally bent, and the black eyes under the willow eyebrows were like thick ink that could not be dissolved.

Seeing that Father-in-law Miao was coming, Li Mengqi clenched his fists and made a move, and he didn't know whether it was cold in the early morning or if he was about to see the emperor, and his body trembled.

"Grandpa Miao, how long will it take me to get in? ”

"You stay here for a moment, I'll go in and ask for some advice. The father-in-law said in a harsh voice.

Gonggong Miao trotted all the way to the imperial study and knocked on the door, and he didn't know what to say to the emperor, and with his sharp and piercing "Yun" sounded, Li Mengqi's hanging heart finally fell.

"It's time to go in. Grandpa Miao beckoned and whispered.

Looking at the palatial imperial study outside, Li Mengqi thought to herself that she didn't know whether this line of work was a blessing or a curse......

When he walked briskly to the first step of the steps, Li Mengqi suddenly stopped, because he was too excited to see the emperor for the first time, and his mood calmed down, he was just a grass people, if he went to see the emperor like this...... He didn't dare to dwell on it.

Li Mengqi just stood in place and stopped, not walking, not leaving, not knowing what kind of mood to go to visit, after hesitating, he actually pondered.

Gonggong Miao just looked at him with a smiling expression, and did not disturb his contemplation, but took the opportunity to use a spiritual power on his legs to control him, allowing him to enter the imperial study unconsciously.

Although it is early morning and early spring outside, the inside of the imperial study is warmer than the outside for a long time, and the inside is arranged with five charcoals from Dongzhou burning in three braziers, and the exquisitely designed brazier does not overflow ash, only overflowing warmth, and the whole room is contained in spring.

The fan-shaped royal desk is the theme object of the study, and the dragon pattern on the desktop skirt "ribbon auspicious dragon means wealth and glory". There are two panels in the front and the side panels are made of the traditional auspicious pattern "auspicious and more than auspicious".

The throne of the imperial study uses a variety of carving techniques such as openwork and bas-relief. Qing-style combination of Duobao Pavilion, the overall layout is rigorous, symmetrical and harmonious, high and low, rich in changes. The frame surface is decorated with a variety of abduction patterns, fangs, rare birds and beasts. The drawer under the lattice is carved with a dragon pattern. Eight door panels are carved with eight immortal character patterns, and there are circles in the square and squares in the circles.

One of them is embroidered with the pattern of the dragon in the sea, under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, the sleeves are carried high by the wind, the long eyebrows are slightly raised, the black jade-like pupils are flashing with a warm brilliance, and the handsome face reflects the morning light, with the majesty of the gods and the innate nobility, and the whole person emits a kind of king air that shocks the world.

Needless to say, he is the most noble emperor of the May Empire, Li Zhiren, the emperor's name is the emperor, and he is called the emperor, but on the majestic and handsome face of the emperor, there is a wave of warm anger surrounding him at this time.

"What should I do?" Li Mengqi muttered in a low voice.

"I don't know what to do, but I know that if you go any further, you'll never see me again. ”

While he was pondering, a gentle and kind voice sounded, although this was the case, the huge imperial study seemed to be immediately filled with a cold and coercive atmosphere, which pulled Li Mengqi's consciousness back at once, so that he couldn't help but kneel down and buckle his head deeply, kneeling in front of the emperor, his body trembling, looking weak.

At this time, Li Mengqi finally came back to his senses, but he still had something to think about, a grass people, he dared to ignore the emperor in the imperial study and walked by himself, Li Mengqi felt that he was super awesome, he could be called the first person in ancient and modern times, and then he finally knew what kind of mood to use to face the emperor.

Li Mengqi's perception of the emperor is not only hearsay from the neighbors, but also the singing book in the mouths of those storytellers among the people, and the emperors in it are basically mediocre and cruel.

"The Emperor must be angry right now. ”

Li Mengqi thought to himself that the emperor would have millions of corpses floating in anger, not to mention that he was such a grass man, if he could go back alive today......

No, I should say that if this incident can reach the ears of my three partners today, even if the soul is scattered, I think it will be worth it.
