Chapter 107 Nine-story Tower of the Academy
The soup in the copper pot was boiling, and a chicken cut into pieces was thrown into the copper pot. The chicken pieces were churning up and down due to boiling water.
Around the table, Emperor Wei, Tongli, King Rui, King Huamao, Prime Minister Ma Qishui, Grand Marshal Wu Jianshu, and Censor Zhu Tongguang, a total of seven people sat around the copper pot.
Emperor Wei killed a chicken in front of six people outside the Jiuji Hall. He was originally asked Wei Wuxian to kill, but somehow he rolled up his sleeves and took the knife to kill the chicken himself.
After killing the chicken, Emperor Wei waved to the six men of King Li. The six men walked up the steps. Emperor Wei was washing hands covered with chicken blood in the basin while inviting everyone to eat chicken together.
The moment King Tongli saw Emperor Wei killing the chicken, his expression became ugly, but when he walked closer to Emperor Wei, he could only smile with his face. Even if he had no expression on the end, he could not show any dissatisfaction.
Prime Minister Ma Qishui, Grand Marshal Wu Jianshu, Censor Zhu Tongguang, these three three men who were once powerful in the court and the country, regretted coming here at this time, or when they saw Emperor Wei killing chickens, they were a little regretful. Now they are sitting here like sitting on a needle blanket.
King Rui and King Hua Mao looked calm, especially King Rui, who was one generation older than Emperor Wei, was the uncle of Emperor Wei, and he was in his sixties and had experienced many experiences. There were not many things in the world that could make him lose his beauty.
"It smells so good." Emperor Wei picked up a piece of chicken, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, revealing a look of satisfaction on his face.
This is a roast chicken made by Emperor Wei himself. The chickens were killed by himself, the seasonings were prepared by himself, and the cooking process was done by himself. In addition to letting people prepare copper pots and necessary seasonings, all other tasks were done by himself. Therefore, Emperor Wei seemed a little proud.
"Come on, uncle, eat a chicken tip. This is a good thing and it tastes good." Emperor Wei picked up a chicken tip for King Rui.
"King Huamao, you and I have not seen each other for a long time. Come on, this other chicken tip is for you."
"Prime Minister Ma, you haven't seen me for a long time. I should punish you. I will punish you for eating meat hard! The meat on this chicken butt is the most plump, I'll give it to you!"
"Master Wu, I'll give you these chicken feet."
"Doctor Zhu, this other chicken feet are for you."
"Tong Li, I'll give you this chicken head. My brain is very good inside. Eat more and make up for it."
Emperor Wei put the chicken head to King Tongli, and King Tongli looked up and took a deep breath, "I thank Your Majesty for the reward!"
Tong Li Wang had to think more: chicken feet, chicken tips, chicken butts, these are all things on the edges. Give yourself a chicken head, which means that you are the one who leads the trouble. Are King Rui and Prime Minister Ma and others all bad-legged?
"Your Majesty..." Tong Li wanted to ask about his son Chen Anpeng.
"This cockscomb is a good thing. Tong Li, give this cockscomb to me. I forgot to pick it up just now." Tong Li was interrupted by Emperor Wei as soon as he spoke.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Emperor Wei put the chicken head in the bowl of Tongli King Tong into his bowl, and after removing the cockscomb, he put the chicken head without the cockscomb back into the bowl of Tongli King Tongli King.
"Eat it, why are you looking at me? Eat quickly." Emperor Wei said, dipped the cockscomb into some dipping sauce, and then put it into his mouth, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Your Majesty..." Tong Li spoke again.
"Oh, this treasure in the palm is also a good thing. Taiwei Wu and Doctor Zhu, don't mind giving it to me, right?" Emperor Wei interrupted the words of King Li again.
Taiwei Wu and Doctor Zhu quickly stood up and brought the bowl to the Emperor of Wei. They only took the bowl back after the Emperor of Wei took the treasure in his palm.
"Your Majesty..." Tong Li's face looked awkward, and he spoke for the third time with a suppressed attitude.
"Your Majesty, you can give your Majesty the old minister's butt." Seeing the Emperor of Wei looking at him, Prime Minister Ma Qishui immediately stood up and brought his bowl to the Emperor of Wei.
"My dear, don't be excited. I just see if the chicken poop on the chicken butt has been removed." Emperor Wei pressed his hand and signaled Ma Qishui to go back and sit down.
"..." Everyone was speechless.
Ma Qishui, who was holding the bowl, was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his seat awkwardly.
"Your Majesty!" Tong Li raised his tone.
"What's your fault?" Emperor Wei then looked at King Tongli.
"Your Majesty, my son, don't know where I am now?" asked King Tongli.
"My dear son? Ask me, who am I going to ask?" Emperor Wei said, then slapped his head, as if he had remembered something.
"By the way, I remembered that yesterday, Lord Lu, the Minister of Justice, reported to me that he had arrested a murderer and was from the royal family. Could it be that this person is your son?"
Tong Li's expression changed instantly, and he nodded with his lip.
"Tongli King, it's natural to kill someone and pay for his life." Emperor Wei grabbed a chicken leg for King Tongli, and the words "natural to be true" were very serious.
Tong Li's face was ashamed in an instant, and his hands holding chopsticks were trembling. After a closer look, his whole body was trembling.
"Prime Minister Ma, Taiwei Wu, Doctor Zhu, you are not young anymore. In the past two days, you are ready to go back to your hometown." Emperor Wei said to Ma Qishui and the other two again.
Ma Qishui took a deep breath. Emperor Wei asked them to retire and return home! The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They really shouldn't have come to wade into this muddy water. Now they have put themselves in. They don't have much power at all, they just eat the salary of the court.
"Uncle, King Huamao, if you have time, come to my gatherings from time to time. Don't say anything you shouldn't say." Emperor Wei said, as if it was a kind reminder.
Chen Huamao lowered his head and said nothing. King Rui Chen Fengrui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't spit out a single word.
Unexpectedly, King Tongli wanted to create momentum, but Emperor Wei suppressed them all, and did not even have the chance to argue.
I understood one truth with King Li, the emperor is the emperor after all. However, he would not give up.
"Your Majesty, Lord Mu is asking for a meeting outside." Wei Wuxian walked in and reported.
Emperor Wei squinted his eyes, and Mu Qing also came.
...
In Aolu City, in the courtyard of No. 929 Zhuque District.
After nearly a month of development, the Wei League has already had 300,000 members, which is the number they intend to control. If they do not control it, this number can easily exceed one million.
Liu Chu knew that it would be no benefit to collect too many people at once. Three hundred thousand is the limit. After all, it is their first time to run an alliance and need to make steady progress. If there are too many people, you can't control it. During the exploration stage, there is no need to collect too many people.
"I've got rich, I've got rich! In this period, the points in our Wei Alliance account have reached millions!" Tong Botao said excitedly, holding a piece of paper.
"Look at you, it's all small scenes, and it's just the beginning. In the future, you're going to be happy if you come in and earn points?" October rolled his eyes.
"What if he doesn't matter, can't you be happy first?" Tong Botao chuckled.
Since the last Colorful Frog incident, the relationship between Tong Botao and everyone has risen to an unprecedented level. Not only Tong Botao and everyone, but also the relationship between everyone has risen to a higher level. This small group of twelve people has become more and more closely connected.
"Uncle Xiaobo, can you buy candied haws for Xiaoning?" Xiaoning asked naively.
Tong Botao, who was smiling a moment ago, suddenly collapsed after hearing Xiao Ning's uncle's voice, "Xiao Ning, how many times have I said I want to call my brother! Little brother, Brother Xiao Tao!"
Xiao Ning blinked his eyes, and seemed not to listen to Tong Botao's words.
Tong Botao covered his face and was defeated by this innocent little girl. Uncle is just uncle, but he is not grandpa after all.
"I plan to go to the nine-story tower. If these points are deducted from the benefits and rewards that will be issued, there should be 300,000 or 400,000 points left. I want to use these points to stay in the nine-story tower for a while. I will give it to me for the first time. I will be shameless. Do you have any objections?"
Liu Chu had long wanted to go to the ninth-story tower of the academy. When Ji Canghai led them into Aolu Academy, he particularly emphasized the richness of the books in the ninth-story tower. Liu Chu wanted to see if there were any martial arts suitable for him.
He wanted to find a martial art that matched the hammering technique and "One Knife", so that he could make the three complement each other.
The hammering method and "One Knife" have complemented each other, but Liu Chu still feels that it is not round enough. Maybe if something is added in the middle, it will unite the two like a bridge.
"We have no objection. This Wei League can be said to be supported by you alone. We are just a coolie." Everyone shook their heads and expressed their no objection.
"Thank you." Liu Chu smiled and bowed.
That night, Liu Chu visited his three teachers, Yang Yi, Qu Guang and Tong Zhenghai, and asked about some things related to the Nine-story Tower. Each teacher said to Liu Chu differently, but they were also very different.
The next morning, Liu Chu went to the Nine-story Tower.
"Junior Brother Liu, come into this nine-story tower?" When he arrived outside the nine-story tower, Liu Chu met the tenth elder Ji Canghai.
"Senior Brother Jian." Liu Chu nodded and greeted him with a smile.
"It seems that you have made a fortune in Wei Meng during these days." Ji Canghai joked.
"I can't hide it from you, Senior Brother." Liu Chu smiled.
"After entering, it is recommended that you browse up one by one, and do not jump to the other. You will naturally understand after entering." Ji Canghai reminded.
"Thank you for your reminder, senior brother." Liu Chu bent down to express his gratitude.
After the guards of the Nine-story Tower checked the disciple's cards, Liu Chu was put in.
The moment he entered the Nine-story Tower, Liu Chu felt a fragrance of books rushing towards him. There were not many people in the Nine-story Tower, and it may be because it was still early.
"What? Even if you browse the books on each floor, you will be deducted points? A row of bookshelfs will be deducted 1,000 points at a time when you go in, and the browsing time will be ten minutes."
Chapter completed!
