Chapter 112: Picking up a big treasure
“The great general of the Ming Dynasty is waiting for you.”
Qiu Yue said the last words very solemnly.
Gu Xichao’s hand tightened, and he, who had always been calm, actually lost control.
Don’t worry, there are still two levels, there are still two levels.
He forced himself to calm down.
Take a gentle breath, feeling unprecedented fighting spirit and blood in his chest, and those cold pool-like eyes are faintly exuding fire.
He stretched out his hand and said, "General, please do the assessment."
"Okay, let's start." Qiu Yue said with a smile.
He knew clearly that, if nothing else, this young man belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
I just hope his talent is as high as possible.
After a while, Qiu Yue's face changed.
After a while, Qiu Yue's eyes flashed with joy.
After a while, Gu Xichao took out the book he brought.
"Seven Strategies"!
"This is my humble experience written down by me after serving in the army for several years in the Song Dynasty. Please take a look at it, general." Gu Xichao nodded slightly.
Qiu Yue’s eyes couldn’t help but change again.
Written a military book at such a young age!
If it hadn’t been for the previous question and answer exchange, he would have thought that this young man had high ambitions and low abilities, and did not know the heights of the world.
But now, he paid more attention to it. He took the book with both hands and started reading.
Gradually, his expression became more serious.
For nearly an hour, he closed the book with both hands and stood up suddenly: "Brother Gu, I want to see your Majesty immediately."
After saying that, he shook his head again and raised his hand. Holding the military book in hand, he reached out and grabbed Gu Xichao's wrist, pulling him out and saying as he walked: "Brother Gu, come with me to see His Majesty."
Gu Xichao finally showed his face. A smile appeared, a smile that finally saw a ray of sunshine after dark clouds had been hanging over the city for several years.
He knew that this level was passed.
There is only one level left.
And his confidence is even stronger.
After arriving at the palace, not long after, we arrived outside Qianqing Palace.
Gu Xichao was waiting outside, and Qiu Yue walked in alone.
In the palace.
Zhu Houzhao flipped through the military book in his hand casually and listened to Qiu Yue's story.
"Your Majesty, although this person comes from a humble background, he is definitely a rare talent. He is still very young and has great potential.
If time passes, it will definitely be me. A general of the Ming Dynasty, even a great general," Qiu Yue finally praised.
"Is it really that powerful?" Zhu Houzhao said a little surprised, but also very happy and expectant.
He still believed what Qiu Yue said.
Not only loyalty, but also ability.
Except for Wang Shouren, Qiu Yue's military ability was ranked first in the court, but it was only because of his background that he was delayed in the past.
Otherwise, he would not let Qiu Yue preside over the Wu Zhaoxian Hall.
"I'm sure." Qiu Yue said firmly. He almost climbed up from the bottom, thinking that he would never misjudge the person.
Gu Xichao is by no means a boastful person.
"Okay, quickly, let him come to see me." Zhu Houzhao immediately put down the military book in his hand and said quickly.
After saying that, he blinked, stood up, and strode out: "No, I will go see him in person. Lao Wang said that the ancients went to see talents without wearing shoes, and I How can it be worse? "
As he walked, he hesitated and said: "Qiu Yue, do you think I should not wear shoes?"
It would feel better if he didn't wear shoes. Not good-looking, not domineering.
Qiu Yue looked strange and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You are supreme. There is no need to condescend to someone so much. There is no need to go to see him in person, let alone not wearing shoes. ”
"Stupid, what do you know?" When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became proud and said proudly: "Are I going to see a talent? I am going to see all the great talents in the world.
You I must remember every detail and tell Jin Yiwei when the time comes, and tell others as well
Just say that I can’t wait to see this great talent, do you understand?”
Qiu Yue suddenly realized that he was indeed His Majesty.
Your Majesty is the wisest, and now it is no different from the feudal princes competing for hegemony.
Talent is the most important thing.
One thousand gold buys horse bones.
Besides, Gu Xichao’s status is so special and his status is low.
This is the best example.
First it was Governor Wang, and then Gu Xichao.
Let’s not talk about Governor Wang for the moment. After all, he is from the Ming Dynasty and can still be regarded as His Majesty’s teacher.
This Gu Xichao is a complete Song person, with the lowest status.
As long as Gu Xichao is talented enough, the higher the position he reaches in the future, the more attractive Ming Dynasty will be to talents from all over the world.
He seems to have underestimated Gu Xichao's role.
And His Majesty realized it immediately.
"I understand." Qiu Yue nodded repeatedly.
Make up your mind to publicize this matter as soon as possible.
If it were any other country, it would definitely be impossible for the emperor to value a lowly person so much and still reuse him.
Because domestic interest groups will never allow it.
But His Majesty is different. Ming's interest groups cannot stop His Majesty at all, so he has nothing to worry about. Talent is the most important thing. Zhu Houzhao saw that Qiu Yue understood, and walked out quickly with satisfaction. Before he went out, he eagerly shouted: "Where is my future general?"
During the waiting period, Gu Xichao felt that this was the time he was most looking forward to in his life.
He looked forward to it even more than when he took the imperial examination.
Always calm, he also felt uneasy and impatient to stand.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, which surprised him.
"Where is my future general?"
He is bold and has a domineering aura that he would rather have than me, coming towards me.
A burly body, a somewhat childish face, and a gorgeous and domineering golden dragon robe.
This is a person that people are willing to surrender to!
This is the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao!
The Ming Emperor who amazes the world and shocks the world!
Also, what does this sentence mean?
Gu Xichao, whose thoughts were spinning all the time, felt for the first time that his thoughts were a little frozen and his mind was a little blank.
Before he could react, one of his hands was held.
"Are you my future general?" Zhu Houzhao stepped forward, grabbed Gu Xichao's wrist, and said boldly with anticipation and appreciation.
boom!
Gu Xichao felt as if his head was going to explode, and a surge of blood rushed forward.
This is about him.
Although he knew that there was definitely an element of acting in it, he had never taken it seriously before.
Those who value him are the most powerful beings in the world.
That kind of touching...
I just want to die for him.
This thought occupied his thoughts, but the tenacity tempered by years of patience allowed him to calm down quickly. He lowered his head and was about to kneel down to salute, but the big hand stopped him. kneel.
"I don't like people kneeling down all the time. The bones of people in Ming Dynasty are not that soft. People in Ming Dynasty should stand upright and upright." Zhu Houzhao said proudly.
Gu Xichao's heart couldn't help but feel hotter. These words alone were better than all the emperors in the world.
He stood up with his legs straight, bowed his head and said: "The common people care about Xichao to see His Majesty the Emperor, but the common people don't dare to be a general."
"What is there that you don't dare to do? As long as you have enough talent, then you can You can do it.
Qiu Yue thinks you have talent. I read your military strategy and I also think you have talent.
I just ask you if you have the confidence to be my commander in the future. General?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said domineeringly.
This kind of tyranny made Gu Chaoxi feel drunk both physically and mentally.
Drunk and unwilling to wake up.
He raised his head, looked directly at the person in front of him, and wanted to remember his appearance deeply. He said firmly: "The common people have confidence that they will definitely become your Majesty's general in the future."< br>
"Okay, I like people who are confident, and this is how they should be." Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly.
"Your Majesty and the common people have something that must be reported truthfully to Your Majesty." Gu Xichao bit her tongue hard to calm down.
He wants to tear open his deepest scar with his own hands. Only in this way can he be sure that this is not a dream.
Only then can he be worthy of the figure in front of him who gave him his dream.
"Say." Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min's mother is a prostitute. She has no father and has lived in a brothel since she was a child." Gu Xichao still lowered his head, his voice trembling.
It was as if a person, in front of his most important person, had revealed his most embarrassing thing with his own hands.
But after speaking this sentence, Gu Xichao gained more courage and continued: "The common people passed the Song Dynasty's imperial examination and won the top prize, but because of their lowly status, they were stripped of all their honors.< br>
He also joined the army, but he could only be a soldier.
Your Majesty, ordinary people do not dare to expect too much, and only wish to tell the truth to Your Majesty. ”
Gu Xichao, who has always been quick-witted and knew when to say something, had no idea what he was talking about after saying the last sentence.
I didn’t know what I was thinking either. ?
Maybe he is expecting something.
"Your mother is a prostitute?" Zhu Houzhao was really surprised and couldn't help asking.
Gu Xichao couldn't help but turn pale, and a touch of despair rose in his sensitive heart, but he still nodded.
"Hahaha." Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, laughing very happily and happily, but without a trace of contempt or disdain.
Gu Xichao seemed to be floating upwards from hell again.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes seemed to be shining at this moment, looking at Gu Xichao like a treasure, and laughed: "Your mother is a prostitute, you have no father, you grew up in a brothel, but you are both civil and military.< br>
If you win the prize, you can write a military book.
Okay, okay, you are indeed a great talent in the world!
I am sure that you will become my general in the future. "
Gu Xichao raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with red eyes. He had been disappointed too many times and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, what do you mean?
Don’t you dislike grassroots people? ”
"Dislike it? My dear, it's too late for you?" Zhu Houzhao felt that he had really picked up a big treasure.
Such talents are absolutely rare in the world.
He looked solemnly, looked at Gu Xichao seriously and said: "I know one thing, it is not a shame to be born in a humble family. Being able to stretch and bend can make you a husband."
"I also know that no matter what your background is, No matter how humble or noble you are, it doesn’t matter.
Only a man is capable. ”
"What's wrong with the prostitute? My Taizu was once a beggar? Although Taizu has many things that I think he can't do, I feel quite proud when I think about it.
A beggar can be an emperor. , the son of a prostitute cannot be a general?
I have determined that you will be my general in the future.”
