Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 534: The two countries are prime ministers, dating back ten thousand years!

Li Rui quickly reported the incident at Qinghe Paddock.

He was even the first one to tell the Imperial Master.

After reporting it.

He had some free time, but it was hard for the scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Why?

Of course, it is impossible for the Holy Emperor to refuse the conditions of the Witch Kingdom. He can get rid of a competitor without paying almost anything. Not only that, it can also deepen the alliance between the two countries. Why not do it?

but--

Li Rui was an official of the State of Yu. Going to the State of Wu to serve as an official, even if it was a part-time job, would damage the country's prestige.

No matter which dynasty or generation, ancestral systems have always been given great importance.

The actions of later generations must not violate this.

Therefore, Wenyuan Pavilion needs to cite classics to prove that Li Rui's behavior is in accordance with etiquette and is even a good thing.

Wouldn't that be a headache for those good scholars who have spent their entire lives studying classics?

at this time.

It was already late at night.

Wenyuan Pavilion was still brightly lit.

In the room, scholars from Wenyuan Pavilion were immersed in ancient books, studying hard.

Serving as an official in two dynasties also requires being praised by future generations.

This kind of thing is really hard to find even with a lantern.

Amid the sound of flipping pages.

Suddenly, an old man slammed the table and stood up: "Got it!"

Wu, the then-Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who was known for his talent in Jiangnan, became interested and asked, "Master Zhao, what have you discovered?"

The other officials also stretched their necks, wanting to hear what Master Zhao had to say.

Old Master Zhao laughed loudly: "Look, Wu Qi was once a group guard of Wei State, and his military power shocked the world. Later, he went to Song State as the governor, and he governed the country well, and was praised by everyone. Isn't he somewhat similar to the current Taiping Ling?"

One listen.

Wu Xueshi couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Master Zhao, we are all studying history and theory, but you are just digging up myths."

Of course he knew the Wu Qi that Master Zhao mentioned.

It’s just that Wu Qi’s era is too long ago, dating back as long as 10,000 years.

At that time, it was still an era of Taoist mourning.

The history books do not exist.

Almost indistinguishable from mythology.

It has never been recognized by scholars.

And this old Master Zhao was an important leader of the school that advocated that myths were true.

It's clearly private work mixed in.

Scholar Wu narrowed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally said loudly: "Now is a change of ten thousand years, we should do extraordinary things. If there are people in the future, they will see us as no different from myths. The Taiping Order should set a precedent for future generations."

That night.

Mr. Wu wrote a parallel prose of 3,000 words in a very fluent manner.

Then he presented it to Prime Minister Zhang.

In the royal study.

The Holy Emperor looked at the articles written in neat regular script.

"I bow down to the glory of the holy dynasty, which has inherited the changes of ten thousand years. Ancient sages and warriors rose up. When they assisted the Wei Dynasty, their iron armor shook the world. When they served the Song Dynasty, their benevolent government brought peace to the people. They assisted the two emperors and their virtue was not alone. Their names were recorded in history and their reputations became more and more famous. Now, Li Rui, the prefect of Taiping, holds the sword spirit of the East China Sea and the frosty collar of the North China."

Of course, the beginning was to praise the Holy Emperor.

Then he mentioned the ancient sage Wu Qi.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and with precedents to prove it, although it is far-fetched, it is still tenable.

The key is still one point.

Wu Qi was an important official who assisted the Emperor in ending the Taoist mourning.

Although it is almost a myth, it is still reasonable.

Otherwise, it would be extremely impolite to find a little-known country.

That scholar Wu was secretly praising the current Holy Emperor, saying that his achievements were comparable to those of the Human Emperor.

How could the Holy Emperor not be happy?

"good!"

The Holy Emperor was very pleased.

On the same day, an imperial decree was issued to announce this parallel prose to the whole world.

It is the "Theory of Two Phases" which has been passed down for thousands of years.

"Two-phase theory"

It was ten days later when Li Rui received the imperial edict.

At this time.

The two-phase theory had already spread all over the world. Eunuch Zheng held the imperial edict in his hand and looked at Li Rui with a smile: "His Majesty said that Lord Li can do whatever he wants. His Majesty trusts him."

Li Rui respectfully took the Holy Emperor.

With his status, there is no need to kneel anymore.

Can you trust it?
Of course he wouldn't think so.

The emperor's trust is lighter than paper. When you are in that position, it is normal to be capricious.

Li Rui understood that even if he became the Earth Priest of the Wu Kingdom, it was just a title.

Don't be dissolute because of this.

For Wu Qi to have a happy ending ten thousand years ago, he must have gone through countless hardships along the way.

However, the court compared him to Wu Qi.

This is a huge compliment.

When one reaches a certain level as an official, what one cares about is not only power and status in the emperor's heart, but also reputation.

If you serve as a scholar without seeking fame, it is useless to serve as an official.

This time, Li Rui unexpectedly gained great fame.

Who knows, he might even go down in history as a famous figure!
These are what countless big shots would love to have.

Li Rui unexpectedly got a good reputation because of Wu Guo's official career.

'It's really an accidental achievement.'

He smiled and shook his head.

When Eunuch Zheng was being invited to go to the other courtyard to rest.

Lines of small words appeared before my eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced plot of becoming a general and a prime minister - leaving your name in history. ]

Looking at the panel that shows half of the progress.

The smile on Li Rui's face grew wider, and he looked at Eunuch Zheng more politely.

"Eunuch Zheng, I have buried several jars of fine wine under the old tree in this courtyard. Come and have a taste of them today."

Eunuch Zheng also laughed and said, "This old slave is really blessed."

That night.

Li Rui, Meng Chong and Eunuch Zheng were drinking under the moon.

Eunuch Zheng was unusually unrestrained.

He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Lord Li, General Meng, your majesty and Lord Yuan slept in the same trench back then, and your majesty still thinks of it from time to time."

Li Rui and Meng Chong heard this.

They all looked surprised.

Lord Yuan never mentioned this matter to anyone else.

If it weren’t for Eunuch Zheng telling me.

They were totally unaware.

Eunuch Zheng continued, "Your Majesty often says that among the princes, none is like him. It would be great if Lord Li was born into the imperial family."

Listen to this.

Li Rui couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

Quasi-Emperor, this evaluation is really not a good thing.

Fortunately, since Eunuch Zheng said it himself, it proves that the Holy Emperor has no suspicion of him at least for now.

of course.

This should be closely related to his unique master, who is a god in the world.

"It is said that it is good to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade."

Unknowingly.

He has actually found a backer who even the Holy Emperor has to treat with courtesy.

Li Rui couldn't help but drink a glass of wine.

'The days are getting more and more hopeful.'
