At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

As Peng Wen and the envoys left, Wen Yan sat back on the throne and called out, "Lord Ren."

"I'm here." Ren Hao hurriedly stepped out.

"My dear Ren, you have made great contributions to me again this time. How should I reward you?" Wen Yan asked.

"I do not ask for any reward. I only ask that after the 500,000 common people of Linnan move to the Central Plains, Your Majesty can treat them as your own subjects and show them favor." Ren Hao petitioned the emperor.

"absurd."

"How can a mere monkey who just came down from a tree be worthy of being your Majesty's subject?"

Zhao Ping'an immediately jumped out to refute, and suggested to the emperor that these common people in Linnan should be sent to various salt fields and mining sites to serve as slaves and do the hardest and most tiring jobs.

"Prime Minister Zhao, this is truly ridiculous."

"The 500,000 common people of Linnan that I won for Your Majesty are not to be slaves, but to be used for recuperation, to make up for the missing population in the Central Plains, and to promote national integration and cultural exchanges." Ren Hao immediately retorted.

"Your Majesty, please do not trust Sikong's words. This so-called ethnic integration and cultural exchange is actually inviting a wolf into the house."

"As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and the aspirations of the barbarians are not the same as those of the Chinese." At this time, Ma Qian also stood up and supported Zhao Ping'an's statement.

The other ministers also echoed their support, and even Censor Chen followed suit and decided not to side with Ren Hao.

After all, it is ridiculous to let the common people of Linnan integrate into the Central Plains.

Wen Yan was annoyed by the ministers' shouting, and immediately slammed the imperial desk and shouted, "That's enough, stop arguing. Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later. I'm adjourning now."

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

All the ministers bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, respectfully seeing the emperor off from the palace.

After the emperor left the Linding Hall, all the ministers went out one after another, put on their boots and went to their respective positions.

Just as Ren Hao was leaving the palace to put on his boots, the old eunuch came over and said, "Master Sikong, please stay. His Majesty would like to invite you to dine with him."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way." Ren Hao put on his boots, stood up, and followed the old eunuch to the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, Wen Yan was having a meal in the bedroom, and there were nine tripod boxes on the table.

Each pot box contains different foods, four meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, one soup, and a pot of staple food.

The food in this tripod box is the emperor’s lunch and dinner for the day.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sikong is here." The old eunuch led Ren Hao in and shouted.

"My dear Ren, I'm sure you are very hungry. Please have dinner with me." Wen Yan greeted Ren Hao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ren Hao thanked him and sat down cross-legged at the table next to him.

"Bring all of these to Lord Ren." Wen Yan pointed to several dishes in front of her and gave all the meat dishes to Ren Hao, leaving only three vegetarian dishes and one soup.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Ren Hao thanked him again. He saw that there were beef, venison, poultry and carp in the four tripod boxes.

Ren Hao hadn't eaten or drunk anything since morning and was starving.

He couldn't care less about anything else now. He grabbed the food in the box and started to wolf it down.

But this meat is just like the mouth, Ren Hao couldn't help but complain, the TV dramas in his previous life were simply a lie.

It was said that the emperor would enjoy the most delicious food every day, but in the end, what he ate was not even as good as what he ate at home.

The meats were simply seasoned with some fine salt and no other seasoning.

It is no wonder that Wen Yan, the eldest princess, often ran out of the palace to eat something. It turned out that the food in the palace was too terrible to swallow.

Seeing that Ren Hao looked like he had a hard time swallowing the food, Wen Yan asked knowingly, "Ren Aiqing, are these meals not to your taste?"

"Your Majesty, it's very...very much to my taste." Ren Hao hurriedly began to chew with big mouthfuls, pretending to enjoy it very much.

……

After about half an hour, when Ren Hao had finished all the food in the cauldron box and drank a cup of imperial wine, Wen Yan finally started talking and asked, "Ren Aiqing, what exactly is this fine steel you mentioned earlier?"

"Your Majesty, this fine steel is smelted from black iron and is harder than ordinary iron and stone." Ren Hao replied.

"Then how did you recognize it?" Wen Yan asked.

"When I traveled to the Western Regions before, I saw a precious sword made of fine steel. That precious sword was indestructible and could easily cut through ordinary iron."

"When Peng Wen proposed the competition, I knew he had no good intentions and had been planning this for a long time," Ren Hao continued.

"Where did you get the tears of God?" Wen Yan nodded and asked.

She thought this thing was really strange. It was clearly made of glass but the head was indestructible, while the tail shattered at the slightest touch.

"This is just a little trick of mine." Ren Hao replied.

"Is this little trick also something you saw when traveling in the Western Regions?" Wen Yan asked curiously.

"That's not the case. This is a place in the west that is even farther away than the Western Regions."

"Although the Western Regions belong to the Yi land, there are more vast areas outside the Yi land. This area also has a court civilization like the Central Plains. They have blond hair and blue eyes and speak a different language from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and write in a different script from the Central Plains and the Western Regions."

Ren Hao started talking nonsense in a serious manner again, and Wen Yan was stunned and listened with fascination.

Afterwards, Ren Hao dipped his index finger in some wine and wrote an ancient Roman word for the Emperor on the table.

Emperor.

"Mr. Ren, what are you drawing?" Wen Yan looked at the words drawn by Ren Hao and found that they didn't look like words, and the tadpoles didn't look like tadpoles.

"Your Majesty, this is the alphabet used in the West, and it means monarch when spelled together," Ren Hao explained to Wen Yan.

"I never thought that Lord Ren's experience was so miraculous. This is the first time I've heard that there is another world outside the Western Regions."

"It can be said that listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books." Wen Yan praised generously.

In her world, Central Plains was at the center.

And the world is just this size.

To the west is the end of the land, to the Shu is the end of the mountains, to the east is the end of the sea along the coast of Baiqi and Wu, to the south is the end of the forest, and to the north is the end of the grassland.

But today, Ren Hao broke her cognition. It turned out that the world is far less big than this.

Further west in the Western Regions, there are even more vast territories with the same imperial civilization as that in the Central Plains.

"Mr. Ren, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know where the sun hides after it sets?" Wen Yan was very interested and looked like he was willing to learn.

The first said that the sky ends when the sun rises in the east, and the earth ends when the sun sets in the west.

and so.

This question has troubled Wen Yan since childhood and he has never been able to figure it out: where does the sun hide after it sets?

puff.

Faced with the question raised by His Majesty the Emperor, Ren Hao really lost his composure and directly spat out the turbid wine he had just drunk.

Fortunately, he covered it with his hand in time, and it did not spray on His Majesty who was sitting opposite him.
