Chapter 293 The first building in the world
It should have been the joy of Xu Jie's marriage these days, but now the old emperor suddenly passed away. When the country was in a state of sorrow, families like Ouyang Zheng and Xu Jie could not hold a wedding at this time. Ouyang Zheng did not have this time to hold this wedding.
Xu Jie entered the palace again. After meeting Xia Rui in the mourning hall, he was about to meet Xia Han again. Xia Han and Xu Jie had a grudge, but now Xu Jie no longer had the intention to kill Xia Han.
But Xu Jie still didn't see Xia Han in front of him. He just walked outside the courtyard where Xia Han was imprisoned. He could hear the sound of smashing things inside and shouting and scolding kept reaching his ears.
Zhang Li stood behind Xu Jie and said, "Governor Xu, I'm afraid I'm really crazy. Look at the corner of the wall, take off all my clothes and throw them outside."
"It's good to be crazy. Change him to a different place, so as not to avoid the third prince's highness hearing his rebellious words here." Xu Jie replied, and then turned around. There was really no need for the madman to see him again.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li waved his hand and someone came forward to do the work.
Zhang Li accompanied Xu Jie to the mourning hall in the harem.
Just as he walked to the door of the mourning hall, Xia Rui walked out of it, raised his eyes and signaled Zhang Li, and Zhang Li bowed and left.
Xia Rui wandered in this harem, and perhaps he became unfamiliar with it. Every year, he came in to have a meal and left after dinner. Xia Rui had never visited this palace for more than ten years. Even when he was in the palace, Xia Rui did not dare to wander around. He mostly avoided many people, so as not to be caught, scolded and bullied.
Xu Jie followed Xia Rui and heard Xia Rui say in front of him: "Wenyuan, I can have today, thanks to you, you have made the most contribution. I don't know what reward you want, just speak up and I will allow you."
Xia Rui's tone was relaxed, and Xu Jie was too lazy to think about whether Xia Rui had any temptation. He said without hesitation: "Your Highness, I want to go to the world to hone my martial arts skills. I heard that ancient Qi training men had the ability to turn the rivers and the seas, and could live more than one hundred years, or even more. I have always wanted to find the method of Qi training. When your Highness is in everything, I want to leave the capital."
Xia Rui stopped, looked back at Xu Jie, looked for a moment, and asked again: "A person will die in his lifetime, and he will die in his lifetime even if he is 100 years old. What is the meaning of hard work in the mountains and forests? Do you want to become an immortal? That is all fake. If you hold power, you will be worthy of your life."
Xu Jie is obviously not pursuing an illusory person. He practices Qi for a long life, but just an excuse. He just wants to make his words sound credible. In the hearts of others, what else is more attractive than a high-ranking minister? So Xu Jie compiled an ancient Qi for Qi, which is in line with the pursuit of Xu Jie's martial arts practitioners.
"Your Highness, I am still young, how can I be willing to try it if I don't try it? What if there is really an ancient method of qi training?" Xu Jie replied again.
Xia Rui laughed: "Haha... many martial artists practice internal skills. If there is really any ancient method of Qi training that can prolong life, Wen Yuan, you must bring it back to see me."
Xia Rui's words seem simple, but they are not simple either. Because this sentence is that Xia Rui really let Xu Jie go.
Xu Jie was a little surprised. He thought Xia Rui had to spend all his time keeping him, but he didn't want Xia Rui to let him go so simply. This made Xu Jie feel somewhat disappointed. People are like this. I hope that he is important to others. Even if Xu Jie wants to leave himself, Xia Rui agreed so simply, which inevitably made Xu Jie feel lost.
The loss flew in Xu Jie's face, and then Xu Jie said, "If you can really find such a method, you must bring it back to see you."
Xu Jie said it casually, because Xu Jie never thought about any method to prolong life. Practicing martial arts is practicing martial arts. Throughout history, countless people have practiced martial arts. Isn’t the sword saint Pei Min also dead? Li Bai only lived 61 years old, so where is there any method to prolong life? Xu Jie did not believe that Li Bai became an immortal. Throughout history, even emperors would die, let alone ordinary people?
Xia Rui's steps suddenly became much lighter. Perhaps he also had a lot of entanglement and dilemma in his heart. How should he reward such credit as Xu Jie? Xia Rui didn't know much about anything else, at least he was watching how Li Qiming rose, and he himself was also a victim of Li Qiming's rise.
Therefore, Xia Rui is not embarrassed to reward Xu Jie now. If the reward is light, he is afraid that Xu Jie will feel unhappy and even malice. If the reward is heavy, he is also afraid that Xu Jie will cover the sky with only one hand in the future.
In the past, Xia Rui, even Xia Rui two or three days ago, would not have thought so much. At that time, Xia Rui was afraid that Xu Jie would not want it. Even if Xu Jie wanted to be the king and split the soil, Xia Rui would not be unhappy at all, but would be very happy.
At this time, Xia Rui never thought so again.
What if Xu Jie really wanted to break the ground and become the king? Xia Rui would naturally agree. Then everything was done, what would be the situation at this time? What should Xia Rui do? Is it really a title of King Xu Jie?
Fortunately, the situation was not like this. If this were the case, it would really make Xia Rui embarrassed. How could Xia Rui still have the intention to take Xu Jie to wander the harem at that time? It’s not enough to describe it when he was worried.
There is a garden in the harem, called the Imperial Garden. The three hundred years of Imperial Garden, and the scenery can no longer be described in general terms. Xia Rui held his hands and stood up in front of him, and Xu Jie followed behind him.
There are pavilions, towers, small mountains and ponds, and a few white cranes dotted there. No flowers are blooming, but there are still elks walking on the road.
Xu Jie also opened his eyes, and Xu Jie also had the intention to slowly enjoy the scenery.
The two of them walked like this.
The Xia Rui who gave Xu Jie books and paintings, and the Xia Rui who gave Xu Jie Jiuxiao Huanpeng. He was no longer the same person as Xia Rui at this time.
In other words, the emperor cannot be regarded as an ordinary person. The emperor is the emperor, representing the entire country, and is the lord of the world.
Being friends with the emperor is a luxury and impossible thing.
If you treat the emperor as a friend, you may not be far away from the disaster of killing yourself.
Xu Jie was not sad about losing a friend. Instead, he felt relaxed and resigned. He was really relaxed, without Xia Han's threat and the drag of his official position.
How can it not be easy if the sky is high and the sea is wide?
Xu Jie couldn't even wait. If it weren't for the throne ceremony, Xu Jie would have wanted to leave now and take the people from the Xu family back to the river.
In the world, Xu Jie is willing to go for a walk, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are also willing to go for a walk.
This life is really a great pleasure.
Xia Rui still has to be busy in the mourning hall. When the mourning person is waiting for the arrival of the mourning person, Xia Rui still needs to return a gift, which he must do.
Xu Jie left the palace again. He got back to the yamen gate. A shabby frame opposite came from a strong horse to him, and the frame made a slap.
Xu Jie took a few more glances while dismounting.
The dilapidated carriage was parked at the gate of the yamen. The lame man who was driving the car walked down and looked up at the iron-armed soldiers at the entrance of the yamen in the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the capital. This kind of yamen was not just fear, but a kind of inferiority complex for the civilians to the court. The yamen in the capital was even more extraordinary and could not be afraid.
When several military men at the gate saw Xu Jie coming back, they hurriedly prepared to drive away the lame man.
Xu Jie spoke first: "Who are you looking for?"
The lame man bowed his hand to see him and said in a hurry: "Small Xun, look for Xu Jie and Xu Wenyuan!"
"Danger, how dare you call my governor's name? You're probably tired of living." The military man at the door looked angry and pulled out half of his sword.
When Xu Jie heard this accent, he felt familiar. He raised his hand and pressed it down and asked: "Who are you?"
The lame man hurriedly said, "It's not a villain's search... it's a person in the car. He is called Zhong... Master Zhuan."
Xu Jie smiled when he heard this and saw the curtain of the car being lifted up. Mr. Zhong came out of the inside. His body was still the same, and the scar on his face that had passed through his eyes was particularly conspicuous.
"I'm back!" Master Zhong spoke.
Xu Jie laughed: "Haha... I'm not dead. Just be alive."
Master Zhong was unhappy and got off the car and said, "It's almost the same as death."
Xu Jie looked up and down and smiled and said, "You can't die if you hurt. You can always be well maintained for three or five years. You can still drink alcohol."
"Drinking is natural." Mr. Zhong replied.
Xu Jie turned over and said, "Then let's go."
Zhong Shidao also returned to his car and said, "Qin Wu, hurry up and follow."
The lame man was called Qin Wu. At this time, the Qin Wu seemed to be very different from the Qin Wu a few months ago. However, in a short time, the head-up pattern on the man's forehead was as if it was carved from a knife. It didn't need to frown, and it was clearly visible.
This man was really a miserable man. The Qinzhou where Mr. Zhong returned with him was the Qinzhou Qin family, but the Qin family in Qinzhou had disappeared.
In the world, there are so many miserable things. Just like Qin Wu returned to his hometown, he wanted to take his son with him, and he wanted to leave a last bit of thought for the Qin family. But when Qin Wu really returned to Qinzhou, where would he have a son?
Everyone in Qinzhou knows that Qin Dong and Qin's army died at the hands of horse bandits. The Qin family naturally has to be responsible for the huge loss of goods. How does the Qin family be responsible? It is still too different to sell industries, houses, and ancestral homes, so they sell their subordinates and concubines.
He even sold Qin Wu's wife and finally sold Qin Wu's son.
It still cannot fill such a huge hole. It can be seen how dozens of merchants in the northwest bullyed the wife and children of this family at that time. So what if they bully it? Who cares about it?
Perhaps there are more people pointing at this family and scolding them, saying that they deserve it, scolding the Qin family for harming people and killing many northwest men. How many people have not even received pensions. The Qin family cannot fill the holes in the merchants even if they sell them all. The swordsman family members who died in the desert with knives obviously cannot get a penny.
Qin Wu didn't even know where his son was sold, nor did he even know who sold his son, or dozens of merchants, and everyone had a share.
It’s sad and lamentable. Qin Wu didn’t even know who to avenge his revenge. Perhaps he should find dozens of merchants in the northwest to avenge his revenge.
What if it does!
The lame Qin Wu became a coachman and came to the capital.
Zhaixing Tower, the second floor. Xu Jie was not particular about it. He went up the stairs and found an empty seat. Mr. Zhong sat opposite him, and Qin Wu stood behind Mr. Zhong.
Master Zhong did not wait for the dish to come, so he drank it first and smashed it a few times. He looked back at Qin Wu, turned his head to say to Xu Jie, "This is my apprentice, Qin Wu."
Xu Jie was a little surprised and smiled and said, "Can your apprentice really learn from your sword?"
Zhong Shidao nodded: "It was not possible in the past, but now it seems that it may work."
"Just do it, if you can do it, you are a good apprentice." Xu Jie didn't care and didn't ask for anything.
Qin Wu, who was introduced, bowed to him, and Xu Jie just nodded.
Mr. Zhong is not a talkative person, and he would not talk about Qin Wu’s affairs with Xu Jie. He only said: “I will go to the desert again after I’m injured.”
"What, I want to make a sigh of relief for your master?"
Zhong Shidao nodded: "Do you do this!"
"I'll go with you, and someone will collect your body at that time." Xu Jie was joking.
Mr. Zhong nodded seriously: "Well, if you collect my body and bury me in Hengshan, I'm afraid you will be busy with official business and will not be able to go. Fortunately, I even took in an apprentice."
"You can go, you can go. I won't be an official anymore." Xu Jie said with a smile.
Zhong Shidao was still serious: "You won't be an official anymore? You won't be an official anymore."
"I won't be an official, go back to the river and go home." Xu Jie drank all the old wine, as if he was a little reluctant to leave in his tone. I don't know what made Xu Jie feel so reluctant to leave. Perhaps it was from Bianjing, or perhaps it was just the prosperity of Bianjing.
"I'll go with you." Mr. Zhong said, "Mr. Zhong has no place to go. Perhaps he has such a friend who is the only thing he has besides his pursuit of martial arts.
Xu Jie suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled at Master Zhong, smiled for a moment, and said, "Master Zhong, how about I find a wife for you?"
Zhong Shidao thought about it seriously and waved his hand: "Forget it."
"I'm afraid that I will die and let her be a widow?" Xu Jie asked.
Zhong Shidao nodded.
"Maybe she is the motivation to keep you alive no matter what." Xu Jie also said seriously.
Mr. Zhong shook his head, it was just a word.
Xu Jie drank another glass and laughed: "You can't help but."
But Zhong Shidao said, "How can I not be able to do anything?"
Xu Jie had a "bad heart" smile on his face and he didn't say much.
The two of them drank a few drinks, and Xu Jie suddenly had an inspiration in his mind and said, "Master Zhong, how about I go home and open a brothel? Then you can choose a glimpse in the gentle village."
"Branch building? What you earn is the money of a poor woman's flesh and blood, not what a real man does."
"Look at how you have never seen the world, brothels may not necessarily make money. If you have to stay back to Dajiang for a few days, I will go to Hangzhou to open brothels, the number one in Jiangnan and the number one in the world. After visiting so many brothels, I will also open one, and the best one, and it will be decided." Xu Jie said as he thought, and became more and more excited.
Master Zhong heard Xu Jie seriously and said, "I won't go to the brothel."
"If you don't go, you can't help but not go. Just stand at the gate to guard the gate. Take your apprentice, one left and one right, haha..." Xu Jie smiled very happily.
Qin Wu curled his lips and looked down at his young master. He thought that Xu Jie in front of him really dared to say that his master was a master of nature, so how could he go to the door of the brothel? Qin Wu himself was a master of nature, so naturally he could not do such a thing.
