Chapter 83: Cultivation of Direct Lineage

Early in the morning, Xu Ming was practicing Kaitian Fist.

Although I am no longer in Xuefutu, I have developed the habit of getting up early.

"Mr. Xu is really self-disciplined."

After Xu Ming finished practicing a set of boxing and washed his face, Wei Xun came to Xu Ming's courtyard.

"Eunuch Wei." Xu Ming bowed.

"Mr. Xu, His Majesty is calling you over."

"Please wait for a moment, Eunuch Wei. I will take a shower and change my clothes before going to see His Majesty."

"good."

After taking a shower, Wei Xun took Xu Ming and walked towards the harem.

"Eunuch Wei, is this the direction of the harem?"

"Yes."

"Is this inconvenient?" Xu Ming asked.

Wei Xun smiled and said, "Your Majesty can ask you, Mr. Xu, to come over. That will be the most convenient. Mr. Xu, just follow along. Don't make Your Majesty wait anxiously."

Xu Ming: “.”

When he came to the harem, Xu Ming felt like he was in another world. There were flowers and plants, courtyards and pavilions, a large lake and rockery in the harem, palace maids coming and going, and besides the palace maids there were eunuchs, which formed a sharp contrast with the solemnity and austerity of the front palace.

Xu Ming looked straight ahead at the road, not daring to look around.

Otherwise, if she saw something that a talented concubine shouldn't see, it would be over.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has arrived." One stick of incense later, Wei Xun brought Xu Ming to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, the Queen."

Xu Ming clasped his fists and bowed.

Emperor Wu was having breakfast with a woman, with palace maids serving him.

The palace dress the woman was wearing was mainly dark red, embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern with its wings spread as if about to fly. The tassels on the dress looked like a red glow flowing on the jade steps of the palace. Her hair was tied up high and embellished with a golden hairpin, showing her elegance.

Her face is as delicate as a painting, her facial features are as perfect as if created by nature, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, revealing a bit of charm in the understatement, and her eyes are like autumn water, deep and bright, as if hiding a thousand tenderness.

The high nose bridge adds a sense of three-dimensionality to her face. Her lips are like peach blossoms. When she purses her lips, she appears reserved and introverted. When she smiles, she is as bright and charming as a blooming spring flower.

Her fingers were as slender as jade, and her nails were painted a light pink, making her look even more gentle and charming.

The only one who could embroider a phoenix on her palace robes was Queen Wu.

Even in the military camp, Xu Ming had heard of the reputation of the Queen of Wu State - Xiao Ke, the most beautiful woman in Wu State. She was ranked 93rd on the Beauty List just by virtue of her mortal status and without any body tempering.

"No need to be so polite. Come, take a seat and have your meal." Emperor Wu called to Xu Ming.

"This..." Xu Ming looked a little at a loss.

Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Why, do you suspect that I have poisoned you? Do you want me to try the poison on you first?"

Xu Ming: "I dare not, I am just a little flattered."

"Hehehe, this is the harem, there is no need for so many etiquette between the monarch and his subjects." Xiao Ke smiled, his voice like the sound of a silver bell, "Xu Mingni, just come and eat."

"yes"

Since the emperor and empress had spoken, Xu Ming had no choice but to go to the table.

The palace maid serving beside him served Xu Ming a bowl of pearl jade porridge.

"Xu Ming, you don't know that you are very famous in the harem." Emperor Wu said with a smile, "The poem you gave to Zhu Cici at the beginning, almost every concubine and maid can recite it, and they often feel sad about the autumn, even Ke'er."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Ke called out coquettishly, "I am not a fairy who can stay young forever. My face is aging quickly. Can't I feel a little bit sad?"

"Okay, okay, okay." Emperor Wu's tone was very fond of the Queen.

Xu Ming on the side could only keep smiling and didn't dare to say anything.

After breakfast, Emperor Wu took Xu Ming to the imperial study.

Emperor Wu was reviewing memorials and Xu Ming was standing beside him.

Emperor Wu would also ask Xu Ming for his opinions on certain policies from time to time and complain about the petty thoughts and intrigues of some officials.

Sometimes, Emperor Wu would even throw the memorials to the ground and curse. At this time, Xu Ming would lower his head, and Wei Xun would persuade his majesty to calm down.

There was no morning court today, but Emperor Wu did not take a vacation either. From morning to noon, Emperor Wu worked non-stop, like a workaholic.

Emperor Wu had a very good reputation among the people.

A person's reputation among the people is often not deceptive.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

After Emperor Wu had dealt with the memorial, he would show it to Xu Ming and ask him, "Do you think there is anything wrong with my handling of it?"

How could Xu Ming dare to say directly "You are wrong", he could only praise "Your Majesty is wise" first and then put forward his own point of view.

In fact, Emperor Wu was just asking casually.

But some of Xu Ming's views are very unique and interesting.

For smaller ones, such as during epidemic seasons, Xu Ming advocates drinking more hot water. Boil the water before drinking it, as the high temperature can kill the "source of the plague" to a certain extent.

For example, Xu Ming suggested establishing state-owned enterprises to unify grain, salt and iron under the unified management of the state.

Don’t say “drink more hot water”.

Putting grain, salt and iron under unified national management can indeed greatly enrich the national treasury. When famine occurs, opening warehouses to provide relief can also curb merchants from making money from national disasters.

But the problem is that this affects the interests of too many people.

Now, Xiao Mochen’s Whip Method has been badly impeached.

It is not easy to do this now. You have to eat little by little. If you eat too much at one meal, you will die of bloating.

At noon, the palace maid brought lunch into the imperial study. Emperor Wu called Xu Ming to have lunch with him, and Xu Ming could not refuse.

After lunch, Emperor Wu continued to review memorials without even taking a nap.

"You should be familiar with this Xiong Wentian. He is Xiong Haizhi's father, the Minister of War. He is a good person and loyal, but he is too stubborn and looks down on civil officials. However, you are good at both civil and military affairs, so it should be easier for you to meet him in the future. He is worth your friendship."

"This Huang Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a very annoying person. He is too cautious and often gets stuck in a rut. But if you give him a task, he will definitely do it well for you without making any mistakes."

"This Chang Sanqian, Zuo Pushe, was young and promising, but now he is also an old fox. He has fair ability, but he is greedy for money and lustful. He only needs to put in some superficial efforts."

In the afternoon, when Emperor Wu was reviewing memorials, he introduced the personality traits of various officials to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was horrified when he heard this.

Xu Ming glanced at Wei Xun.

Wei Xun just smiled and nodded.

At this time, Xu Ming was sure that Emperor Wu did not want to see him because he was an "Internet celebrity", but really wanted to use him and train him as a direct descendant! [Many things cannot be written before the protagonist is sixteen years old. It is very uncomfortable to hold back. Let's see if we can make the protagonist sixteen years old as soon as possible, which is the real beginning of life. ]
