Chapter 288 Careers
The city is full of busy scenes, and they are all preparing for the emperor's [-]th birthday. Since the beginning of the month, the palace has sent matching staff to set up scenes inside and outside the imperial city. The colorful shed for birthday celebrations has been built from the entrance of the palace to the palace By the city wall.

Needless to say, the business of hotels in various places, countless local officials, and squires who are well-known in the local area, flocked from all over the country.Celebrating the emperor's birthday is second, and more important is to take this opportunity to make friends with officials who are suddenly famous in the royal city.

Some young people with a little culture would like to take this opportunity to show off their talents. Fortunately, they will be servants of some famous officials. Those with the best luck may even be favored by the emperor and become an imperial poet. It's better to be a human being than to be a poor scholar.

As a courtier, Qi Guogong, Zhu Yufeng, couldn't help but spend a lot of time thinking about His Majesty's birthday.Although he is a prince and aristocrat, if he is negligent in this kind of matter, he will inevitably suffer a big loss in the future, not to mention the queen's beating last night, which made him firmer in his determination to fight for fame and fortune. One day, he will trample that stupid woman underfoot!
Most of the famous poets in the palace have been bought by various officials and princes and princesses in advance, and the remaining Dukes of Qi do not dare to use them, so they can only go out to the palace to try their luck.
Coincidentally, not far from the mansion, there was a young scholar hanging a flag with no characters. No need to ask, this must be a young man who wants to promote himself.

Qi Guogong stepped forward, "I am Qi Guogong, I wish Yufeng, sir, you hang a flag with no characters, you must be a talented and educated person, then please trouble me to write a birthday speech for His Majesty, if it is well written Now, Mr. Xian wants to enter the palace to achieve a career, so naturally there is no problem, if the writing is average, Mr. can still go to my house to be a servant, and he will have no worries about food and clothing."

The young man did not pretend to be a gesture, and bowed to Qi Guogong: "It is an honor for a villain to be favored by Qi Guogong. I am Zhang Qian, a person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but there are many scholars on the roadside. Why did you choose me as your guest?" Woolen cloth?"

Qi Guogong said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry too much. I wish a certain person has always been a casual person. There is nothing strange about the reasons for choosing Mr. One is because you are attracted by Mr.'s flag without characters, and the other is Mr. Leaving the mansion. Recently, the Duke of this country thinks this is a kind of opportunity, if you don’t mind coming to my sect, Mr. Qi will definitely do something.” Said Duke Qi returned another bow to the young man, and stood where he was waiting for his reply.

The young man did not expect that the flag without characters he hung could attract such important princes and nobles. He wanted to rely on a small local official to live a full life, but the man in front of him was clearly the Duke of Qi who held great power. , The joy is naturally beyond words: "I am not talented, thank you for the love of the Duke of Qi. To be a guest under your door, you must be dedicated. The emperor's birthday in a few days, Zhang Qian will do his best to win glory for you, the Duke of Qi." Said After saying this, he immediately made a big gift to Duke Qi,
Qi Guogong stretched out his hands to help Zhang Qian up: "Sir, you don't need to be too polite. You have become a guest of my Zhu family. Although there are etiquettes, the rules are not so complicated. Now I have to ask you to hurry up and make a masterpiece that you like." Come, so that the Duke of this country can present it to His Majesty."

"I already have a suitable poem in my heart. When I return to the mansion, I can present it to Duke Qi tomorrow."

"Hahaha, that's right, then I will trouble you sir."

Hearing this, Qi Guogong made a gesture, "Sir, please." Zhang Qian took half a step back, respectfully followed Qi Guogong into Zhu's mansion,

Walk through the courtyard to the front of the guest room. The guest room is not too big, but the layout is very delicate. There is a maid waiting at the door, and it seems that it has been prepared for a long time.

"This is the master's residence. If you need anything, please tell the servants in this mansion." Zhang Qian bowed again, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The Duke of Qi stroked his beard, "It seems that the gentleman has already experienced the fatigue of the horses and horses, so I will not bother you, sir, please do your own thing." Zhang Qian bowed deeply, watched the Duke of Qi walk out of the room, and immediately Showing a meaningful smile: "This is really God helping me..."

"Qingsheng, the envoys sent by Xiwu, Donglai, and Nanting to worship have already arranged their residences?" the emperor asked indifferently, looking through the memorials that had been approved during the day,
Quan Sheng heard this, and hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this old slave has already inquired about it just now, and all the envoys from the four directions who came to congratulate you on your birthday have already arranged proper residences, only Donglai has not yet sent envoys."

After hearing what the father-in-law said, the emperor didn't seem to be affected in any way, and he didn't see any change in his expression. He continued to read the memorial in his hand, and said in silence for a moment: "Let's leave an empty room first, I'd like to see See what Donglai is doing!"

"Old slave led the decree" Quan Sheng respectfully said: "The slaves can't make any big troubles in the boundary of the Wangcheng, but if they don't come to pay homage this time, it is really disrespectful to your majesty, let them do this Neglect, the king of Donglai is an ambitious wolf, the former prince Chunyu dared to sell five stone powder in the king's city, although the matter is over, we can finally see Donglai's disobedience..."

The emperor's hand flipping through the memorial suddenly stopped: "Of course I know this, but according to the fact that I have already taken care of Chunyu Cheng, even the concubine Chunyu who gave the marriage has already passed away. After this battle, I don't think they dare to act so blatantly Neglect me, but you may have other intentions."

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Forget it, let the imperial guards strengthen their defenses and strictly check the floating population, especially those from the direction of Donglai. Once found, report back to me immediately."

The emperor rubbed his eyes and got up to go to bed. "I'm a little tired, Quan Sheng, let's stop here today." Quan Sheng hurriedly put away the memorial on the table, got up and helped His Majesty the Emperor to bed,
After the emperor fell asleep, Quan Sheng came outside the palace and summoned his capable young eunuch. "Send an order to the commander of the imperial army, saying that His Majesty has asked to strictly check the people coming and going in the direction of Donglai." After speaking, he handed the waist badge in his hand to the little eunuch.

"Be quicker, it's important. If you're lazy and slack, watch the miscellaneous guys take your skin off one by one."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch tightly held his badge, saluted and left the palace gate.Quan Sheng looked at the back of the little eunuch going away, and went back to the residence by himself.
