"This is the 'Jade Pot Spring' of 60 years old...... The wine is more than fragrant, but not mellow...... I foolishly thought that it was slightly inferior to the sixty-year-old 'phoenix wine' ......," Xu Wuxian said to himself while tasting the wine in this cup.

Li Chongsheng turned his head to look at Gao Liangshi, with an inquiring look in his eyes, and the chief manager of the inner court hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to Long Live Lord, it is really the 'Jade Pot Spring' of sixty years old...... This is still the beginning of this year's spring from the Jiangzhou Mansion in Gannan Province, a total of ten altars, today an old slave is happy to see the long live lord, and the special attendant Curry to take an altar ......"

Li Chongsheng has been the emperor for 70 years, and on weekdays, he either listens to the music in the court, or criticizes the folds in the court, and buries his head in the world's major events all day long...... In this way of drinking, it is really not good. Now that the emperor heard that Xu Wuxian had just tasted it, he had already guessed the name of the wine and the storage date, and he couldn't help but feel unexpected.

Where could the emperor have thought that Xu Wuzhi drank good wine for seven days in a row in the Gaosheng Inn, although he was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, but inadvertently, he almost tasted all the famous wine in the world...... Especially the sixty-year-old "Jade Pot Spring", when I heard the shopkeeper of the shop say the name of the wine, I felt very elegant, but after drinking, I felt that this wine was only blindly fragrant and sweet, but it lacked a lot of spicy and mellow liquor should be, so as to remember it freshly. When I drank it today, the taste was the same, and I naturally thought of the name of the wine immediately......

Li Chongsheng has ruled the world for 70 years, and he has never seen any kind of person! But today, this young man with unruly manners and unearthly appearance really shines in his eyes. Xu Wuxi's behavior in front of the emperor can be regarded as decent, without the slightest transgression, but between his gestures, he always jumps out of that unique temperament...... What kind of temperament is this? Even if it is his own dozen or so princes, except for Li Yi, the king of Zhao, no one can be so casual and so easy in front of him, the great emperor of heaven...... Just take a sip of wine, and you can tell the many doorways......

"Gao Liangshi, you put the nine altars of 'Jade Pot Spring' that I left...... After a while, send all of them to Xu Qing......" Li Chongsheng ordered. The old emperor's mood at the moment is really excited, and there are three points of fun and seven points of joy in this excitement...... He has been in the world for 70 years, and the people around him are either restrained or servile, all of them are duplicitous, even if he is a good man, a chief of the inner court who has served the emperor with all his heart and soul for more than 40 years, he has no such interest in talking to him on weekdays......

"And ...... What did Xu Qing say just now...... Sixty-year-old 'phoenix wine'...... You also go and get ten altars, I ...... It's all rewarded!" Li Chongshengxuan added.

"The old slave takes the order!" Gao Liangshi bowed down and sang, and after speaking, he secretly glanced at Xu Wuxian a few times, and in his eyes, in addition to envy, there was a little more resentment......

"Weichen thanks the emperor for the wine!" Xu Wuxian said to the emperor. Although the words were very polite, when he saw him, he didn't get up, and between his eyebrows, he didn't show a great joy of thanksgiving to Dade, but just arched his hand slightly and said lightly. It was as if what he meant was to say: "Your emperor is rich all over the world, what is it to give me dozens of jars of wine?"

If this were an ordinary day, an ordinary person, the Son of Heaven would have been unhappy a long time ago. The emperor took a hot spring bath, and he was already in a good mood, and after listening to the words of no disease, he felt that it was purely from the heart, from the bottom of his heart, not carved and decorated, but natural...... At the moment, Li Chongsheng's heart was even more overjoyed, so he continued to persuade him to drink more alcohol and eat more vegetables......

The two monarchs and ministers, one old and one young, are like old friends who have not met for a long time, drinking and eating while talking about homely things:

......

"Your name is Xu Wuxi, from Jiangnan?" asked Li Chongsheng.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen Xu is not sick! I came from Hangzhou Mansion in Jiangnan Province to ......," Xu Wu said without illness.

"Jiangnan's good! I've been there a few times...... Look at the plum blossoms at the bottom of the clouds in the lonely mountain, and smell the laurel on the pillow of the lotus pavilion...... Speaking of which, I haven't been there for twenty years......" Li Chongsheng said leisurely.

"Hmm...... To the north of the lonely mountain was a plum grove. In winter, there are plum plums, and in early spring, there are green plums, cinnabar plums, red plums, and apricot plums...... Flowers bloom, pink, vermilion, green, white...... There are all kinds of things, and they can be found everywhere. When I was in Hangzhou, every winter and spring, I liked to climb to the top of the lonely mountain to see the plum blossoms...... The wind blows, and the mountains and fields are full of flowers, but it smells good......" Xu Wuxi took a sip of "Jade Pot Spring", and ate a piece of roe leg meat that I don't know the name of the dish, and said slowly.

The words of being disease-free even reminded Li Chongsheng of his memories of cruising in Jiangnan that year, "cough...... I don't know if I will have a chance to go there again for the rest of my life......" The emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't want to start this topic again, so he changed the conversation and asked again:

"Who gave you your 'disease-free' name?"

"My mother gave it to me. When I was a child, there were frequent famines, plagues, and many children died of illness. My mother gave me this name, thinking that I would be free of illness and disaster for the rest of my life...... But I didn't expect that my mother and my grandfather were both infected with the plague when I was ten years old, and both died of illness......" Xu replied. At this time, he couldn't help but think of his childhood past, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of pathos in his heart......

"Oh...... It seems that you have grown up alone since childhood, which is also ...... It's really not easy, it's really not easy......" Li Chongsheng took a sip of wine, and suddenly his heart moved, so he said:

"Thou art 'disease-free' can be thy handwriting, but a scholar walks in the world, and deserves a great name. I will give you another name, how to ?......"

Seeing Xu Wuxian put down the cup and looked at himself, Li Chongsheng pondered for a moment and said:

"No disease or disaster, it is not enough, in this life, you must abide by it...... I will give you the word 'Ke', abide by the way of the sages, and abide by the virtue of benevolence and righteousness...... From now on, your name will be Xu Ke, and you will be ?...... good."

This time, Xu Wuxian stood up, walked to the side of the table, knelt on the ground, and bowed to the Son of Heaven, saying, "Minister Xu Ke...... Thank the emperor for his name!"

"Get up...... Gao Liangshi, pour the wine...... I want to have a full drink with Ke Aiqing!" Li Chongsheng said with a smile as he raised his hand.

Since then, Xu Wuxian has been leaning up between heaven and earth, standing on the rivers and lakes, and he has another big name - Xu Ke!

Abide by the way of the sages and abide by the virtue of benevolence and righteousness...... The meaning of Ke is great!

If all the people in the world can achieve this word "Ke", for the world's most reasonable, "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, filial piety and loyalty" can always abide by and abide by everywhere, this world will be a bright Qiankun, and this world will be an innocent world......

But how many people in this world can be in this world, in this "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, filial piety and faithfulness" all kinds of truth, from beginning to end, abide by the whole life?

Those who can truly achieve the word "Ke" must not be ordinary people......

......

Xu Ke got up, took the golden cup filled with famous wine poured by Gao Liangshi, and drank a glass with the emperor.

The emperor was very interested, put down the wine glass, waved Xu Ke to sit down, and then asked:

"No disease, do you know why I summoned you to the palace today?"

Why did the emperor summon himself alone? After Xu Ke entered the palace, he had been thinking about this question constantly, but he couldn't think of why he wanted to summon his own mere experience from the seventh grade when he racked his brains. So, Xu Ke simply didn't think about it anymore, he was at peace when he came, he answered whatever the emperor said, and when the Son of Heaven asked him to drink, he drank to his heart's content......

Seeing Xu Ke's blank face, Li Chongsheng then said:

"I heard the report that the treasure pavilion donated 1.2 million taels of silver today for disaster relief......

"Tianbao Pavilion thinks of the common people, worries about the family and country, donates huge amounts of silver, solves the difficulties of the imperial court, and rescues the urgency of the people, which is really the blessing of His Majesty, and it is also the luck of the people!" Xu Ke bowed his hand as a courtesy.

"Yes, I will reward him with a big name in Murong Yuanshan......" Li Chongsheng nodded and said.

At this time, the emperor was about to eat and drink, and after speaking, he stood up and paced around the banquet...... As he walked slowly, he said slowly:

"But it's not sick...... Think about it, I have a lot of work in the world, who can do it, and it will be 1.2 million taels of silver as soon as I make a move...... This is not a small number, I have a large treasury, and there are only 700,000 taels left today, you must know this as a household experience...... Tianbao Pavilion's bold act of donating silver this time, its heart ...... Rewardable, its potential ...... It's also worrying......"

Seeing the emperor get up, Xu Ke also stood up and stood aside with his hands down. He said to himself: "I didn't expect that the Lord of Murong Pavilion would be so well aware of the righteousness! I, Xu Wuxi, just said casually before, but he Murong Yuanshan was really generous......

Li Chongsheng saw Xu Kewu pondering to himself, so he had doubts in his heart, and said:

"No disease, do you know...... In this world, there is a saying of 'one tower, two mountains, three pavilions, and four gates'?"

Xu Ke said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has heard a little, but I don't know the details......" He remembered that at the Taihu Lake Demon Hunting Conference that day, Shuxian also told him about the sect in the world.

"Oh, let's hear it......" Li Chongsheng saw that Xu Ke was young and still knew some things about the rivers and lakes, so he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, so he waved his hand and asked Xu Ke to come......

"Chenwen: The 'two mountains' are 'Shaoshan in the north and Shu Mountain in the south', it is said that the disciples of Shaoshan are no less than 10 million people, and there are 'four outer halls and three inner courtyards', which can be regarded as the first major sect ......in the rivers and lakes," Xu Ke replied.

Li Chongsheng waved his hand and said, "What about the Shaoshan faction...... Win with a large number of people, but there is a lack of masters in the door...... Not to mention the 'No. 1 faction'...... However, it is the Shushan faction, it is said that the disciples in his sect are all people who cultivate immortals and practice Taoism, and it must not be simple. However, in recent years, the rivers and lakes have never heard of the appearance of Shushan disciples...... As for the 'Four Immortals of Shushan', I have heard of their names in vain, and I have not seen them......"

Xu Ke remembered that night, he and Murong Yan suddenly encountered a black bear spirit next to the ancient temple of Yushan, and just when their lives were in danger, they were fortunately rescued by a woman with a flying sword. Afterwards, I heard Murong Yan say that the people who saved his two lives were Yichen and Yiqing. He said in his heart that the two sisters were profound, and they could volley the imperial sword, or they didn't know if they were from Shu Mountain. It's a pity that the two of them left in a hurry at that time, and they didn't have a chance to see each other, and in the future, I don't know when I will be able to thank you in person......

Li Chongsheng stood independent, looked up at the dragon at the top of the temple pillar, and said:

"The rivers and lakes are rumored: one tower is respected, two mountains are dominant, three pavilions are superior, and four doors are extraordinary...... Is this 'one tower' the 'tower of command'...... However, I don't know where the tower is...... These 'two mountains' are naturally Shaoshan in the north and Shu Mountain in the south...... These 'four gates' are the Tianshan Sword Gate, the Shuzhong Kang Gate, the Nanhai Yaowang Gate and the Xiangxi Ghost Gate......"

Xu Ke couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "You are the son of heaven and the king of a country, how can you know all about these rivers and lakes?......

Li Chongsheng seemed to see Xu Ke's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You Mo Dao I am just a son of heaven, I learned swords in my early years, and I often practiced some self-cultivation techniques later...... I also know a little about these trivial matters......"

Gao Liangshi on the side also said: "Long live Lord is not only a unique saint in the past and present, but also a unique ...... in this body."

Li Chongsheng waved his hand, and the chief steward immediately stopped speaking and did not dare to say more. The Emperor added:

"These 'one tower', 'two mountains', and 'four gates' are all far away in the sky, and I don't have time to work hard...... However, these 'three pavilions' are Wuji Pavilion, God King Pavilion, and Tianbao Pavilion...... But it's all under my nose. Except for the Shenwang Pavilion, which is the pillar of my great work, the other two pavilions are all at the foot of my Gyeonggi Heavy Land and the Son of Heaven, and I have to guard against it......"

Xu Ke asked, "That day Treasure Pavilion, the minister has also heard about it before, and he has been there twice...... It's just that His Majesty said Wuji Pavilion, but the minister has never heard of it...... I don't know where?"

Li Chongsheng said: "This Wuji Pavilion ...... I went in in my early years...... Although it is near the capital, it is difficult to find it...... Don't look for it...... Right now, you just have to keep an eye on the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for me!"

After a pause, Li Chongsheng said again:

"As the old saying goes, 'the tail is too big to fall'...... Now, more than half of the weapons of our cadres have been supplied by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War and the Shaofu Bureau of the Ministry of Industry have all become useless. According to the Frontier Report, the large horse sabers, double-horned longbows and other utensils made by his Tianbao Pavilion have appeared in the military columns of the Xiao State and the Chu State...... Today, he actually took out 1.2 million taels of silver in one go, and with such strength, I have to worry ......about it."

Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "Nowadays, there is a great drought in the world, there are countless victims, and the imperial court urgently needs to buy grain for disaster relief, but no one in the capital is willing to donate food." At this time when the country was in danger, Tianbao Pavilion stepped forward and took the lead in donating silver...... Unexpectedly, he Murong Pavilion Master had the intention of doing good, but he had no intention of arousing the emperor's suspicion, which led to the suspicion of 'the tail is too big to fall'...... Ahem, how difficult it is to be a human being!"

Gao Liangshi saw that Xu Ke's face suddenly showed a worried face, and he knew that Xu Ke must be thinking of his relationship with Murong Yan, and it was difficult to choose, so he said:

Xu experience...... Long live the meaning of the lord, just to let you stare at a little bit...... Don't think too much about it......"

Li Chongsheng said with a smile:

"'Xu Experience'?...... Gao Liangshi, from today onwards, you have to call him 'Xu Baihu'......"

Gao Liangshi couldn't help but look at Xu Ke with joy on his face, but Xu Ke had an expression that he didn't know why...... I saw that the emperor's face suddenly turned straight, and he said in a deep voice:

"Xu Ke listens to the seal!"

Gao Liangshi glanced at Xu Ke, and Xu Ke hurriedly bowed down and knelt down. I only heard the emperor's subdued and frustrated voice coming high:

"The household has experienced Xu Ke, his nature is pure, his ambition is loyal, his wisdom is enough, and he can be of great use, and I am promoted to be a hundred households in Tsing Yi!"
