To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Emperor Xu clapped his legs happily. Finally, there was good news, and he praised generously.

"You really gave me a big surprise. Five days later, the envoy will come to the palace to pay homage. I give you five days to make this device!"

Hao Wu shook his head and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I can't do it."

Emperor Xu thought for a moment and said, "Five days is too short. How about ten days?"

Anyway, the envoys will stay here for ten days or half a month. By then, he can find some reasons to let the envoys see the power and strength of their Xu State.

Hao Wu lowered his head even more, and said guiltily: "Even if you give me ten years, I'm afraid I still can't make it."

Emperor Xu frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"Hao Wu, are you looking for my pleasure?"

Hao Wu's back stiffened, and he kowtowed to explain: "I dare not, but this blueprint was sent to the Ministry of War by Lord Jiu. I came here to see the emperor with Lord Jiu, but...I didn't see her."

For a long while, there was silence in the imperial study.

Emperor Xu moved his shoulders and asked in a cold voice, "Which Lord Jiu?"

Huh? Hao Wu was stunned.

Perhaps there is only one Lord Jiu in Shengjing? Does the emperor really not know Lord Jiu, or did Lord Jiu make the emperor angry?

He said carefully, "It's Master Jiusujiu."

Another long while passed.

"Oh, it's her." Xu Huang said in a light tone, but there was a hint of reluctance in his tone. "Such an amazing blueprint, was it really drawn by her?"

……

outside the palace.

Li Ningwan sighed: "Yuyu, you were too impulsive today. Jiang Jing, you are still her fiancé, and you didn't stop her."

Jiang Jing only felt his neck getting cold.

He coughed lightly and said, "My Lord, don't be angry. If I speak up, the Emperor will definitely be even more angry with Ah Su. Besides, Ah Su is not such an impulsive person. She must have a reason for doing this."

Jiusu responded.

"Eh? The one who knows me well is Jiang Jing." She said, "To put it simply, I am challenging the imperial power. If the emperor sends someone to call me later, it means that I have succeeded."

Jiang Jing raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "When two people confront each other, one of them must retreat, retreat again and again, and the bottom line keeps shrinking. In the future, the emperor probably won't dare to punish Ah Su easily. After all, his words are golden."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

By chance, the Marquis saw it.

Li Ningwan patted Jiang Jing's shoulder and signaled him to leave by himself. He felt very unhappy that his cabbages were being eaten by pigs.

He said as he got into the carriage.

"Yuyu, it looks like you've miscalculated."

Jiusu stepped on the small stool and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor could resist such a great temptation. Forget it, I won't go to the Salt Bureau these days, so I will have a good rest at home and accompany you and mother."

She got into the carriage.

Jiang Jing lifted his shirt hem, and suddenly, he turned his head and saw someone running towards him. He said, "Perhaps, you can't rest."

As he was speaking, Eunuch Shang came running over.

He was panting, and his usually high-pitched voice was thicker.

I saw Jiusu lift the car curtain.

His smile was flattering: "Master Jiu, I finally caught up with you."

Jiusu smiled faintly: "Ah? I wonder what Eunuch Shang wants to talk to me about? If there is nothing, I still have to go back to the mansion to pack my luggage and go to the countryside to retire."

"Oh my." Eunuch Shang's face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand to help Jiusu get off the carriage. "The emperor was angry just now, so how could he really let his virtuous minister leave? Now the emperor has come to his senses and regretted it. Can you please go back again, Master Jiu?"

As he said this, he turned around, his smile faded, and looked at the dull servant.

"Come here quickly!"

He looked back.

"The Emperor specifically ordered you to go back in the carriage."

Jiusu exchanged glances with the other two, then raised the corners of his lips and said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. The scenery in the palace is beautiful. I'd better walk."

The emperor’s reward is one thing.

But she had just offended the emperor and she agreed to ride in the carriage. What's the difference between this and taking advantage of others?

Eunuch Shang waved the carriage away, fell a small step behind Jiusu, and said with a smile.

"I have never seen any girl... No, even men are not as good as you."

There was a sentence he kept in his heart.

It wouldn't be too much even if she became a female prime minister.

When he returned to the imperial study, the emperor's attitude was completely different. Looking at Jiusu kneeling on the ground, Emperor Xu laughed dryly: "Haha, my dear Jiusu, you really make me unpredictable."

Jiusu lowered his head: "I don't understand."

Emperor Xu picked up the blueprint and was delighted: "Don't call yourself a criminal. You are a loyal minister! A meritorious minister! As long as you can build this device within ten days, I will grant you a special exception! Anything is fine!"

A moment.

Just when everyone thought Jiusu was unwilling and still holding a grudge.

Jiusu spoke up: "Anything is fine? How about not kneeling?"

Eunuch Shang's hands trembled. Oh, this little ancestor is really bold. Since the emperor ascended the throne, everyone has been paying homage to him except the empress dowager. He secretly glanced at the emperor's face and it was dark as expected.

"It hurts so much to kneel for too long." Jiusu sighed.

When Hao Wu first came into contact with Jiusu, he was frightened by her words and broke out in a cold sweat. His brain was spinning rapidly, and he threw himself on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty! When this thing comes out, who in the world will not obey you? It's just around the corner for all nations to come and pay homage to you!"

Emperor Xu came back to his senses.

He has already considered it in his mind.

If one person doesn't kneel, the whole world will bow down to him. It's worth it!

"I……"

Jiusu waved his hands, knelt down and said: "I am too bold. Besides, making this thing requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. The Ministry of War is not under my jurisdiction. If I do this, I will be accused of usurping power."

Emperor Xu didn't care about that and just threw a sign over.

"As long as you can make this thing within ten days, I will grant your request. Moreover, I will make one more exception. You don't need to kneel to anyone except your ancestors and the people in the harem." He pointed at the token, "Take it and make any announcement at will. Who dares to question it?"

Once this token is issued, it is as if the emperor himself has arrived.

Thank you for your kindness.

Didn't kneel.

After leaving the imperial study, Hao Wu walked with her. Looking at the girl who was a dozen years younger than him, his expression relaxed. He said, "Master Jiu, can you really build this peerless siege weapon within seven days?"

"Yes." Jiusu thought, "But the people in the Ministry of War may have to work overtime."

Overtime? Hao Wu thought that the content of what young people say nowadays is really incomprehensible. He guessed that it meant to rush to work overnight. He waved his hand and said, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army and only one day to use it. How many people do you need?"

Jiusu stretched out a finger.

Hao Wu nodded: "Okay! Just one thousand people! I will go back and mobilize them now. I will wait for you to arrive at the Ministry of War."

Jiusu actually wanted to say that only a hundred people would be enough.

This structure looks complicated, but it is actually very simple.

"that…"

Watching Shangshu run away, she walked around the system helplessly.

[Congratulations to the host for passing the "worship of the God of Wealth" and obtaining the magic cube. 】

Jiusu didn't know how to play, but she couldn't help but restore the Rubik's Cube once she held it in her hands. The more she restored it, the more addicted she became, until it couldn't be any messier. She then took the system back, planning to memorize the Rubik's Cube formula when she returned.

"Huh? Where is this?"
