Chapter 30 Falsehood and Reality (Continued)

Yecheng, the imperial palace, the drunk Supreme Emperor Gao Zhan lay on the couch and came back to his senses, gasping frequently, while his beloved Mrs. Li served on the side.

Seeing Gao Zhan panting, Mrs. Li was worried when she was still holding the wine pot.

Gao Zhan had asthma and his symptoms became more and more serious after drinking. Although the ministers advised him many times, even Gao Zhan's favorite He Shikai, he still did his own thing after quitting drinking for a short time.

Now, after drinking strong wine, she was panting hard, but she still couldn't bear to put down the wine pot. Mrs. Li wanted to persuade her but didn't dare to persuade her, for fear of angering the drunk emperor and being in trouble.

Being with the king is like a tiger, this is a helpless fact.

However, there are exceptions, such as "he".

After a while, when Mrs. Li saw Gao Zhan seemingly asleep in a daze, she sat next to the couch and was at her fate.

She was born into the Li family of Zhao County. She was originally a concubine of Emperor Yu Yuan Shanjian. Because of her outstanding appearance and literary talent, she was very favored by Yuan Shanjian.

However, Yuan Shanjian was the puppet emperor established by the Gao family, and was even called a "dog-legged person" by the powerful minister Gao Cheng.

Yuan Shanjian, who was unbearable for humiliation, plotted to dig a tunnel and escape from the palace like a prison. The matter was leaked, and Gao Cheng led his troops into the palace to question the crime.

Gao Cheng believed that Yuan Shanjian was encouraged by the concubines around him, so he wanted to kill the most favored Li.

Li was dragged out and was so scared that he was so scared that he was scattered. However, in the critical moment, Yuan Shanjian did not retreat. He ignored his safety and refuted Gao Cheng, which allowed Li to escape.

Therefore, for Li, Yuan Shanxi's emperor was not a tiger, but a real man who could protect his women.

However, the fate of Wei State had gone, and Yuan Shanjian died soon after abdicating, while Li and other concubines became the "trophy" divided by the powerful and powerful people in the new dynasty.

She became the woman of Gao Zhan, the King of Changguang, and gave birth to her first son for Gao Zhan. She was born several hours earlier than the eldest son who was born on the same day. However, because she was a concubine's son, she was forcibly "postponed" her birth time.

From this, Li knew that he was just a toy in Gao Zhan's eyes, and served the other party more and more tremblingly.

Empress Gao Zhan became emperor, although she was named wife, she still did not dare to be careless.

"What do you think?"

A hoarse voice came, and Mrs. Li was so scared that she was distracted. When she looked up, she saw Gao Zhan woke up.

"I am worried about Your Majesty's health..." Mrs. Li quickly served Gao Zhan. Although Gao Zhan was already the Supreme Emperor, he had great power, so he still called Gao Zhan "Your Majesty".

Gao Zhan was still drunk and looked at the beautiful Li girl of Zhao County, and suddenly thought of another beautiful Li girl of Zhao County, namely his second sister-in-law Li Zu'e.

Then he was in a bad mood and asked, "Do you want to persuade me to quit drinking?"

"Your Majesty has his own ideas, how dare I say more?"

"Well, cough cough cough..." Gao Zhan coughed a few times, sat up, drank the sobering soup brought by Mrs. Li, and reached out to pinch the other person's cheek.

"You Zhaojun Li family specializes in beauties, and they all have beautiful appearances."

Mrs. Li was alert and dared not relax: "Whether your Majesty has the final say or not."

"Hahaha..." Gao Zhan smiled, smiled and said, "I heard that in the south, the traitor of Liang State, who pretended to be the Li clan of Jiangxia as a county guard, wanted to cling to your Li clan of Zhao."

"Since Your Majesty said that he was an impersonation, he was naturally fake and could not hide it from the eyes of the world."

Mrs. Li answered carefully, and Gao Zhan withdrew his hand and said no more.

The women of Li's family in Zhaojun are very beautiful, such as Li Changyi, who fascinated his brother Gao Cheng. This also led to Li Changyi's husband Gao Zhongmi defecting to Guanzhong, triggering the Battle of Mangshan.

And the second sister-in-law Li Zu'e is really amazing, really great...

Thinking of Li Zu'e, Gao Zhan's mood became worse again: If Li Zu'e hadn't been too ruthless, their daughter would have been four or five years old now.

Maybe, there will be a second child.

Seeing Gao Zhan's face turned ugly, Mrs. Li was nervous. At this moment, the soldiers and soldiers entered the hall.

The gentleman was favored by Gao Zhan. He entered and left the palace and was as if he had entered a no-man. He even went to the queen's place casually. Mrs. Li didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly tidied up Gao Zhan's hair.

Gao Zhan sat upright and talked to Heshikai: "How about it? Is there anyone offering a reward for so long? Is there anyone who offered a method to make wine?"

He Shikai replied: "When you go back to your majesty, no one will reveal the list, and the strong wine will still not be brewed."

"Then why can it be brewed in the south?" Gao Zhan cursed, picked up the wine pot again and smelled the fragrance of the wine; "It's such a good wine, and I can't live without it for a day."

"Your Majesty should take care of yourself, and it is better to drink less." He Shikai advised.

If someone else said this, Gao Zhan would get angry, but he was different from Shikai's words. Gao Zhan sighed: "Oh, if you have such a good wine in your life but don't drink it, wouldn't it be a waste of time in the world?"

As he was talking, the topic turned to the south. He Shikai came to meet you this time to tell me about the news about Chu State, such as selecting officials in the imperial examination.

He said: "I heard that the fisherman has started to hold examinations and select officials."

"What do you think?" Gao Zhan waved his hand and signaled Mrs. Li to leave. Mrs. Li quickly took his leave.

He Shikai waited for Mrs. Li to leave and replied: "Your Majesty, I think that the fisherman is just a ill and seeking medical treatment. Compared with Your Majesty, he is far inferior to You."

Gao Zhan asked: "How do you say this?"

"It's very simple. He was born in a cold place. For this reason, he did not hesitate to abide by the Li family of Jiangxia and tried to gain the reputation of the Li family of Zhao County... But the gentry of the Southern Dynasty did not buy his account."

"He has shallow foundation, not many relatives, and his in-laws are unreliable. His wife is even more humble. Even if he cannot win over the gentry, he is reluctant to buy the gentry. The gentry and the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty looked like he was bathed in a monkey, so he didn't dare to use it with confidence."

"I can only rely on the examination to select officials to win over the cold."

"The selection of officials in the exam has been around since ancient times, not to mention the distant ones, but before the Liang Kingdom, this was not his first name. He also knew that the cold people could not test scholars in the exam, so he was unique and made a list of scholars and a list of common people."

"In this way, I will win over the cold people to serve him, but I am afraid that those who take the exam will be just a mess, so I did the third-level exam..."

He Shikai talked and laughed: "Your Majesty, you are also a test-selecting talent. With an imperial edict, talents from all over the world gathered in the capital and waited respectfully for Your Majesty to take the exam. Isn't this much better than the fisherman?"

When Gao Zhan said this, he made him laugh.

Who can’t choose a talent when trying to choose a talent?

Not long ago, Gao Zhan specially summoned talents from all over the country to Beijing and was awarded official positions after the test.

Compared with the two, in Heshi's mouth, Gao Zhan is the emperor who is deeply loved by the people. Talents from all over the world can gather in the capital at any time and wait for selection.

And Li Li said that the children of the gentry did not listen to what they wanted to seek talent, but the real talent ignored them, so they could only do the unconventional "level three exams" to buy those vulgar people of humble origins.

By comparison, it naturally seems that Gao Zhan is far superior to the fisherman.

He Shikai continued: "Since the end of Wei, county magistrates have used many servants. As a result, Shiliu was ashamed to be county magistrates. His Majesty gathered the children of the gown in front of the palace and appointed them one by one. They went to various counties to take office. Isn't it much more neat than Li Li pretending to behave?"

"This fisherman was only a hawk when he was Liangchen. He was free. Now that he was sitting in that seat, people were not convinced, and he was like being locked in chains and could not move easily."

"The gentry in the southern country did not accept him, and the civil and military people in the previous dynasty were unstable, so he did not dare to lead the army to invade the north as before, otherwise there would be chaos in the country."

"The Li family members have withered, and their sons are young, so they are not enough to guard the country and are even more unlikely to take over the expedition. He dare not let others take on the big responsibilities, so as not to follow others."

"So, I think that the fisherman must have been tossed by domestic affairs in the past few years and has no intention of looking north."

"And the Western thief occupied the Shu land in the southern country, and was guilty of being a thief. Seeing that all the fishermen occupied Henan, they might be wary of being secretly afraid that the other party would use troops westward next..."

"So sooner or later, the Zhou and Chu countries met with each other. Your Majesty can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and rest assured."

"Okay, that's right!" Gao Zhan smiled again, shook the empty wine pot, and touched He Shi's beard with his chin: "It's still Yantong who can share my worries."

He Shikai's name is Yantong. When he saw Gao Zhan happy, he was of course happy: as long as he pleased the emperor...the Supreme Emperor, he could continue his good life.

As for the reality of Chu State, who cares?

Based on the news from all sides and after careful consideration, he knew that Li Li, the king of Chu, was sharpening his knife, rather than restless, and the throne was in danger.

When Li Li sharpened the knife, Qi State would be in trouble.

Therefore, the emperor (the Supreme Emperor) should be advised to do serious things and deal with them as soon as possible.

However, once the emperor does a serious business, what else does he have to do?

The emperor was addicted to wine and sex and entrusted the state affairs to them. This was how many of them had a way to make money, right?

He Shikai thought it very clearly. As long as he pleased the emperor, he would say whatever the emperor wanted to hear. Wouldn't everyone be happy?

Anyway, this country is not his. The most important thing is to seize the time to accumulate money and enjoy beauty.
