When the scout heard King Qi's question, he immediately knelt down and said, "I am reporting to Prince Qi that merchants from Qi County, Beihai County, Changguang County, and three counties have gathered at the Qi County Prefect's Office to cause trouble, as if they are dissatisfied with the division of land.

The prefect of Qi County asked me to report this information to the prince quickly and hope that he can make a decision!"

Zhao Changqing was stunned.

Then suddenly he laughed out loud.

After so many days, there is finally some good news.

The merchants who are making trouble must be dissatisfied with the huge commercial taxes. As long as they go on strike, countless people under their orders will not have enough to eat, and the families behind them will starve.

This nepotism is wonderful, it affects the whole body!

Once a collective protest occurs, among other things, the stupidity value will definitely soar.

As he thought about it, Zhao Changqing laughed shamelessly.

The scout looked at it for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Your Majesty?"

Zhao Changqing came to his senses after hearing the sound, felt a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and was about to speak, when another subordinate came to report the matter outside the door.

Zhao Changqing frowned and thought: "What day is it today? How come all the good and bad things come together?"

The subordinate stood outside the door and said: "Let me tell you, the prince, there is a scholar outside the prince's palace, saying that when he watches the sky at night, a greedy wolf comes to the world.

My subordinates don’t understand this kind of thing and are afraid of missing some secret, so they came here to report to the prince.”

Zhao Changqing pretended to be angry and said: "You have water in your head? Who wants to see me, just say a few words, and I want to see him? Send him away!"

From now on, you can make your own decisions about this kind of thing, and don’t come here to ask me again, otherwise I’ll slap you in the face!”

The subordinate trembled all over, fearing that he would be punished, so he quickly retreated. He had just taken two steps when Zhao Changqing suddenly stopped him and said, "Did you just say that you are a scholar?"

The subordinate said: "Yes, Your Majesty, he is a scholar."

Zhao Changqing asked eagerly: "Can I ask what his name is?"

The subordinate replied: "Prince Qi, he said his name is Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang? Damn it, Zhuge Liang?"

Zhao Changqing became excited and asked: "Where is he now?"

The subordinate said: "It's outside the palace gate!"

Zhao Changqing hurriedly rushed out of the house and ran towards the door without even putting on his shoes or clothes. He had a habit of changing clothes after breakfast. What's more, he didn't sleep last night because of Zhuge Liang's affairs. Of course he was disheveled at the moment.

.

Zhao Changqing ran out and said: "You have water in your head? Didn't you tell me earlier when he called Zhuge Liang? You almost ruined this king's important event!"

Subordinate: "I..."

The scout standing outside the door stared blankly, "What should we do now? Go back to the prefect's office and report to the prefect? ​​Are we still waiting? Why not wait? After all, the prince has not announced the countermeasures yet, so we cannot miss important events."

The sight of Zhao Changqing running towards the door in a hurry was noticed by many experts in the palace, including the Seven Swordsmen of Jiange. Worried about King Qi's safety, they followed his footsteps and ran over.

Wherever Zhao Changqing passed, both maids and guards knelt down one after another.

This is the right!

When he ran out the door, he saw a man who looked like an upright middle-aged Confucian scholar. He was suddenly very excited and overjoyed, and said to him:

"Student has met sir!"

I have seen this sentence in a novel.

Don't those who are monarchs like to lower themselves to recruit great talents? I will also imitate them, so that Zhuge Liang will feel that this king attaches great importance to him, right?

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang was shocked when he saw His Highness King Qi.

Why did he come out of the house to meet me?

Do you still bow to me?

Still calling me sir?

Could it be that His Highness King Qi knew that I had great talent, so he came to welcome me?

That’s not right, it doesn’t make sense!

Over the years, I have not gained much reputation!

Could it be because of the phrase ‘a greedy wolf comes to the world’?

Although I am not joking casually, I can also know from this that His Highness the King of Qi really understands celestial phenomena, at least to the extent of understanding the secrets of heaven.

Otherwise, even if you have concealed your own humiliation, you will not be able to hide the secret of heaven, right?

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to speak, but carefully observed Zhao Changqing.

When I saw him disheveled, I felt a warm current lingering in my heart.

His Highness, King Qi, seems to be a benevolent and righteous Lord. He came to see me without even putting on his shoes and clothes. How thirsty for talents he is!

It seems that the monarch I chose is indeed right, and worthy of Zhuge Kongming's support to the death!

At this moment, Zhuge Liang also bowed and said: "I don't dare to take the word "sir" seriously. Liangkong has no place to display his talents. If His Highness, King Qi, trusts him, Liang will do his best to assist the prince and accomplish great things!"

Zhuge Liang got straight to the point as soon as he came up.

He felt that King Zhao Changqing of Qi must be a smart man, and there was no need to conduct tests when chatting with smart people.

Zhao Changqing grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand, for fear that he would run away, and pulled him towards the palace. As he walked, he said: "No matter what you said, sir, there is no rush. Now that you have come to Prince Qi's palace, don't leave.

It feels like home here!”

Zhuge Liang was a little confused this time, thinking: "It's the first time we meet, are you so enthusiastic?"

At the same time, a group of experts in the palace also came to the door. When they saw His Highness King Qi actually dragging a scholar into the palace, they did not dare to be careless and gave way to both sides.

Zhao Changqing was still wondering, why were these people blocking the door when they had nothing to do?

Zhuge Liang felt that he was highly valued and had a feeling of being extremely favored. How big is this scale for so many masters to welcome me?

After walking into the palace, Zhao Changqing remembered something. He said to Jian Er: "Go and ask the cook to make some special dishes, and bring a few jars of wine. When you are ready, you can come over together. Come with me and accompany Mr.

You will never return unless you are drunk."

Zhuge Liang was about to say that he was too drunk.

I heard the master named Jian Er say, 'Okay!'

Helpless, he had no choice but to smile bitterly, it was really hard to refuse such kindness!

If I had known earlier, it would have looked better if I had issued a certificate of surrender!

At this time, Zhao Changqing realized that he was disheveled, so he pulled Zhuge Liang and walked towards where he was going.

When he came to the house where he lived, he saw that the scout had not left yet, so he asked: "Why are you still here?"

The scout said, "What should I do about that matter, Your Majesty?"

How could Zhao Changqing be in the mood to ask about those things now, and it was a good thing for those merchants to make trouble, so let nature take its course, but he couldn't say that in front of Zhuge Liang, so he said:

"Let the prefect of Qi County hold them back first."

The scout bowed and said, "No."

Then when he was about to leave, Zhuge Liang had an idea. The opportunity to make a meritorious deed had come. He stopped the scout and said, "Wait a minute."

Then he asked Zhao Changqing: "Your Majesty, I wonder what's bothering you?"

Zhao Changqing said indifferently: "It's just some businessmen making trouble, it's not important."

Who is Zhuge Liang? He's a demon! As soon as he guessed, he got a rough idea. Otherwise, it must be about raising business taxes, so he said: "Liang has an idea, but he has to go and see it in person. I hope my lord
Chapter completed!
