Chapter 27 Mo Chi, who is this kid?
The imperial capital of Wu State.
A giant golden dragon was hovering in the sky above the most central area of the imperial capital.
This giant dragon seemed tireless, shuttling back and forth among the clouds.
The giant dragon has no physical body; it is formed by the condensed energy of mountains and rivers.
Below the giant dragon is the Wu Kingdom Palace.
In the imperial study.
The man in the dragon robe was reviewing memorials.
Behind this middle-aged man stood a graceful and elegant woman.
The woman was wearing a white tube top dress, the delicate lace highlighted her white legs, which were slender and straight, and her exquisite curves were perfectly outlined.
Her ankles were bare, and her white and tender soles were stepping on the ground. Her toes were clearly visible, like rice soaked in water. The soft soles of her feet touched the floor, and it seemed that as long as she lifted her feet, a beautiful foot mist would form on the floor.
A strand of hair passed across her face inadvertently. She touched the corner of her lips and pulled out the hair. A faint fragrance remained where the hair passed.
Her eyes were like the rippling waves of autumn, gentle and affectionate. Her every frown and smile was graceful and charming. The charming beauty of a young girl and the elegant charm of a young woman seemed to be natural in her.
Without any additional decoration, she had her long black hair tied up, looking pretty and elegant, with her hair falling naturally and brushing against her ears.
A phoenix-shaped hairpin can be vaguely seen on her fair and rosy left ear. The light flickers, but her face always has a faint smile.
The woman is the current queen of Wu State, ranked 93rd on the list of beauties—Xiao Ke.
"well"
Emperor Wu of Han could not help but sigh heavily as he reviewed the memorials.
"Why is your majesty sighing?" Xiao Ke blinked and asked softly.
“How can I not sigh?”
Emperor Wu put down the memorial and rubbed his eyes.
"Those barbarians in the northern wilderness keep harassing the border, and there are wars every day, making life miserable for the people.
The evil cults in the west have been constantly infiltrating our country to preach. Now there are strongholds of those cults in all four parts of our Wu Dynasty, and they can never be completely burned down.
That would be fine, because the evil sects in the Western Regions have Buddhism to counter them, and they are leaderless and in disarray.
But yesterday, the governor of Xiliang Prefecture sent a message that a Saint Green Lotus appeared in the Western Region Demon Sect! The various sects in my Wu Dynasty are even more undisciplined. They seem to obey, but in fact, they don't take my Wu Dynasty seriously at all.
There is a child prodigy in Qi State who can compose a poem in seven steps, has a photographic memory, and is a natural literary talent. How can I not be worried?"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Xiao Ke smiled as he rubbed Emperor Wu's shoulders.
“In the Northern Wilds, General Chen is in charge, winning battle after battle, and making the Northern Wilds barbarians terrified.
The so-called Green Lotus Saint of the Western Region Demon Cult is only seven years old and is not even on the Qingyun List.
The sects of the Wu Dynasty did not obey the discipline, so would the sects of other dynasties obey? Aren’t all the immortal sects the same? Your Majesty has a headache, and so do I.
As for the fact that Qi State had a child prodigy, what was that? Now the Xu family had a child prodigy named Xu Xuenuo, who entered the cave realm at the age of five. There was no one like him before, and who in the world didn't know about this? And the Qin family had a child prodigy named Qin Qingwan, who had a congenital holy body, and both were accepted as disciples by the national teacher.
Isn't this the blessing of heaven and earth on our Wu Kingdom?"
Listening to the Queen's comfort, Emperor Wu's brows relaxed a little, but he was still a little worried: "That's what you say, but Ke'er, we call those guys in the Northern Wilderness barbarians, do you know what Qi calls us? Also barbarians! Our Wu Kingdom was founded on martial arts, and in their eyes, we are just barbarians who only know how to wield swords.
There are a total of three thousand teachers and students in Bailu Academy.
There were five hundred teachers and students in the Bailu Academy from the State of Qi.
As for us, we have only produced three people with poor literary qualities so far. We are always laughed at and no one will recognize us. "
"Your Majesty is really anxious." Xiao Ke shook his head. "The Wu Kingdom has only been established for 255 years, while the Qi Kingdom has been established for a thousand years. Our Wu Kingdom will definitely catch up."
"I'm afraid that people will pull me further and further away." Emperor Wu smiled. "Your brother didn't become an official, but became a teacher. I don't know how he's doing as a teacher."
Xiao Ke covered his face and chuckled, his face was quite proud: "Mo Chi he..."
"Your Majesty." Just as the Queen was halfway through her words, Eunuch Wei walked in and said, "Mr. Xiao wants to see you."
"Oh, I just mentioned him and he's here." Emperor Wu laughed, "Hurry and let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Wei quickly retreated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
From time to time, Xiao Mochi walked into the imperial study and bowed: "Commoner Xiao Mochi, paying homage to Your Majesty."
"A commoner." Emperor Wu said to the empress with a smile, "Listen, Ke'er, isn't it that this boy doesn't want to be an official and wants to be a commoner?"
Xiao Ke pursed his lips slightly and did not respond.
"Stand up." The Emperor looked at Xiao Mochi with increasing admiration, "Tell me, what wind blew our great scholar Xiao here?"
Xiao Mochi straightened up and smiled, "Your Majesty ordered Mochi Academy to report on its work seven days after it opened, and Mochi is here."
"Oh, yes, that's true." Emperor Wu remembered, "Then what has our Wu country's greatest talent gained from teaching those ignorant children for seven days?"
Xiao Mochi: "The worst student in the school can already recite five poems from the Book of Songs."
"." Emperor Wu was speechless for a moment. How could you, a student from Bailu Academy, teach a child who could recite five poems and be so proud of him? "Anything else?" Xiao Ke looked at his majesty's face and asked.
"Your Majesty, there are two students that Mo Chi was very surprised about." Xiao Mo Chi bowed.
"Oh? Which spoiled rich kid can make you care? Tell me." Emperor Wu became interested.
"One is the third young master of the Xu family - Xu Pangda. Pangda is only five years old, but he is extremely hardworking. Although his talent is not the highest, his tenacity is very rare."
Emperor Wu stroked his chin and asked, "The other kid you care about is the most talented one in the academy?"
Xiao Mochi nodded and said, "Yes, before, a swan accidentally entered the study hall, and Mochi asked the children to write poems about the swan. This is the poem written by that little friend."
Xiao Mochen presented a piece of white paper, and Xiao Ke walked forward, took the paper and handed it to Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu opened the scroll and his eyes suddenly lit up. He could not help but recite: "Geese, geese, geese, singing with their necks bent to the sky. Their white feathers float on the green water, and their red feet stir the clear waves."
After finishing reading, Emperor Wu held his breath slightly.
Xiao Ke standing by had even more beautiful eyes. A poem like this should not be written by a child, but the innocence revealed in the poem should be written by a child.
Emperor Wu closed the white paper and asked seriously, "Mo Chi, who is this boy?"
Xiao Mochi bowed and said, "This boy is Xu Ming, the son of the fifth lady, the concubine of Governor Xu of the Xu State Mansion."
