Chapter 068: Catch Zhou Xuancai

Nearly 1,000 people took turns to report their names and origins, some were concise and concise, and introduced themselves clearly in a few words, while some talked eloquently, especially many craftsmen from the people, in order to seek a background, they talked endlessly, and Mr. Liuda couldn't listen to it at all after hearing it.

Fortunately, after an hour, the lengthy process finally came to an end.

Emperor Xiyang was very interested, listened carefully to everyone's self-report, wrote down everyone's strengths, and didn't pay any attention to the fact that Fang had just been stabbed.

A eunuch advocated outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived-" It's not that this herald doesn't want to come in, but the ground is full of things, the Yiqing Hall with a length of 20 zhang and a width of 10 zhang, in addition to the people on both sides, is the red carpet in the center of the 20 zhang long and 5 zhang wide, the carpet is full of strange things, it is a bit like a stall in a folk market, and there is no place to stay.

Emperor Xiyang faced Rong Xu and said, "Empress, bring the emperor over." Empress Rong Xu smiled, stood up and gently sent the cute little prince to Emperor Xiyang's hands.

After Xiyang took over the little prince from Empress Rongxu's hands, he said aloud to everyone in the Xiqing Palace: "All of you here are well-known heroes in the world, I invite you to come here today, firstly, I want you to witness the emperor's great gift of catching Zhou, and secondly, I also hope that the emperor can choose a teacher among you." Later, I will put the emperor on the carpet, if the emperor climbs to the feet of any of the people here, then I will ask the gentleman who was chosen by the emperor to take the position of the prince of my Yilan country, and I hope you will not shirk. If anyone thinks that the emperor is stupid and stubborn, he can leave at this moment. ”

Mr. Liuda glanced around the audience and found that none of these people had any intention of leaving, and said secretly in his heart: "Your Majesty, who would dare to leave when you say that? Once you leave, doesn't it clearly mean that the prince's qualifications are too poor? Even Zhang Tianshi is on your side, even if anyone really doesn't want to be an official, they won't be stupid enough to leave at this time." ”

Some craftsmen from the folk were excited, and these people were all thinking, if the prince climbed to him, wouldn't he be able to soar immediately?

Emperor Xiyang had planned to take this opportunity to gather the strange people in the world to serve him, but seeing that none of these people had left, he was very satisfied, and immediately walked down the steps with the little prince in his arms, and gently put it on the red carpet. The Zhou ceremony of the little prince of Yilan Kingdom is finally about to begin.

The little prince has just turned one year old, and he can only climb on the carpet, and nearly a thousand pairs of eyes are staring at the little prince tightly at the moment. The carpet was full of all kinds of things, and as soon as the little prince climbed a step, he drew the pearls and gems around him in a mess.

Something shiny obviously couldn't attract the attention of the little prince, and he was only interested in colorful and brightly colored items. The first thing to grasp in his hand was a white handkerchief embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, and the gorgeous embroidery of the mandarin ducks on the handkerchief attracted the little prince, holding it in his hand and swaying.

Mr. Liuda couldn't help but feel funny, this little prince may be an amorous seed in the future.

The little prince climbed a few steps, his eyes were attracted by another thing, threw away the mandarin duck handkerchief in his hand, and climbed to the edge of the big red carpet.

Next to the big red carpet sat a world-famous sword-forging master, commonly known as Tiesan. It is said that this iron three cast a sword, from the selection of materials, the furnace to the sword, no more, no less, it takes three years, each time after the sword is completed, he only takes a cursory glance, then throws the sword aside and ignores it. Every time his disciples picked up the sword to appreciate it, they found that it was a rare sword in the world, so they asked the master why he threw it away, and Tie San would always say: This sword is indeed a little better than the one three years ago, but it is only barely ranked third among the swords in the world. In the past thirty years, Tie San has forged a total of ten swords, and each time he was not satisfied, so his disciples gave him a nickname, called "General General, Third in the World".

Tie San couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the little prince crawling towards his feet. Emperor Xiyang was secretly happy in his heart: "This Tiesan's sword-casting ability is unparalleled in the world, if he becomes the prince's master, his sword-casting skills can be used by me, casting a large number of sharp weapons, I Yilan Country and his Japanese soldiers are pointing out, who in the world can stop it?!"

Tie San has pursued the pinnacle of sword casting all his life, where is he willing to enter the court to be a prince and a prince, seeing the little prince crawling over, his heart is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Fortunately, the little prince was quickly attracted by another thing on the red carpet, and crawled around the corner, but shocked Tie San into a cold sweat.

Xi Yang knew in his heart that a grandmaster like Tie San was the object of competition from all countries in the world, and he could only play some tricks to make him work for himself, and it would not work to be strong.

This time, the little prince climbed next to a very beautifully carved sandalwood box, patted the sandalwood-scented box with his hand, and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Emperor Xiyang's eyes lit up, and he said to a carpenter in the crowd: "Mu Zichou, you made this sandalwood box, right?"

An ugly-looking man in the crowd was full of joy and replied, "Back to the emperor, it was made by the grass people." "Mu Zichou is the first carpenter in Yilan country, he has been hoping to enter the court as an official for many years, and he has been on the rise, but every time he can't enter the door, coupled with his ugly appearance, he originally thought that this life was hopeless, where did he think that the current Zhou ceremony of this little prince is very likely to be a turning point in his life.

The list of candidates invited this time was drawn up by the officials of the household department, and Emperor Xiyang himself did not know, but he remembered that this Mu Zichou talked a lot when he reported his name, and he also remembered that his ability was carpenter's work, but he was not very clear about other aspects, so he had to ask again: "Mu Zichou, tell me, what skills do you have?"

Mu Zichou stood up and patted his chest, and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, carpenter's work is just a rough job that the grass people rely on to make a living, and the real ability of the grass people is to build large warships! The warships built by the grass people themselves and supervised by them can accommodate at least 1,000 people, and can continue to sail at sea for a year, without the need to anchor and replenish!"

Emperor Xiyang was really shocked this time, there are still such talents among the people! No matter whether the little prince chooses him as a teacher or not, this Mu Zi will definitely not be able to escape. Emperor Xiyang waved his hand and said to Mu Zichou: "Mu Zichou, after the arrest ceremony, you go directly to the official department to report! Someone outside will show you the way!" Mu Zichou was overjoyed and couldn't stop bowing down to thank you.

The little prince's patience was really insufficient, and he quickly pushed open the sandalwood box and continued to crawl forward. Next, nothing seemed to be able to attract the attention of the little prince again, and the red carpet was twenty feet long, and the little prince had already climbed half of it at this time.
