Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 8 Being an emperor is not that easy!

Yang Xiu could guess where the Emperor of Qi was without the need for this eunuch to accompany him.

Royal Garden!
Ever since the news of the Emperor of Qi being debauched and immoral spread throughout the world, he has started to collect beautiful women on a large scale. He has spent the whole day not thinking about state affairs, but only playing with these beauties.

At that time, Emperor Qi's favorite place to stay was the Imperial Garden.

However, is this really the case?
At least, in Yang Xiu's opinion, it doesn't seem to be the case.

As the founding emperor of Northern Qi, Emperor Qi might be greedy for enjoyment, but he would never be obsessed with beauty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had only a few concubines in his harem from the time Zhan Qingfeng was still around until now.

And now all the princesses in the palace are born to the queen.

The other concubines didn't even leave behind a dragon seed.

Yang Xiu guessed that the reason why these words were spread to the outside world was that the Emperor of Qi had great ambitions.

Being an emperor, especially in this world, is not that easy.

Regardless of Emperor Qing’s character, he does have abilities.

Being able to withstand the invasion of Southern Qing and allow Northern Qi to prosper, would it be easy for the Emperor of Qi?
Sure enough, after arriving at the Imperial Garden.

The Emperor of Qi was here, and those beauties mentioned in the legends were just standing quietly by the side.

Yang Xiu's pupils contracted slightly.

When Emperor Qi saw Yang Xiu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Here?"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

The Emperor of Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's skip these complicated formalities! I told you, call me your son in front of me! You are my adopted son!"

Then the Emperor of Qi waved his hand.

The beauties were taken away by the eunuchs standing by.

Emperor Qi said: "It seems that you know what I want to talk to you about!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Of course I know! Even if His Majesty doesn't look for me today, I will come to His Majesty!"

The Emperor of Qi asked with great interest, "Oh? What do you want from me?"

Yang Xiu said: "I want to do business with the royal family!"

Emperor Qi smiled and said, "Doing business in partnership with the royal family? That's interesting! Tell me what you think!"

"I am willing to give 40% of all the profits from Yang's business to the royal family!"

Emperor Qi nodded: "Yes! Then, what does the royal family need to pay?"

Yang Xiu said: "Since we are doing business together, we can't use the name Yang! I dare to ask Your Majesty to give us a name!"

The Emperor of Qi said, "Well! I am very interested. I will think of a name later. After I have chosen the characters, I will send someone to deliver it to you!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qi waved his hand: "Come and sit down!"

Yang Xiu came to the stone table and sat down without any hesitation.

The Emperor of Qi looked at Yang Xiu and said, "A four-year-old child! Because of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the literature of the Great Qi flourished. In addition, the existence of Zhuang Mohan, a giant of literature in the previous dynasty, made the literature of the Great Qi flourish to the extreme! But under such circumstances, a four-year-old child actually won the title of the future of literature! Yang Xiu, you are excellent!"

Yang Xiu bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment!"

The Emperor of Qi shook his head: "You are well-versed in literature, and you can also think of economic warfare. Is that the word? You seem to have said it like this!" Yang Xiu nodded: "Your Majesty's control over the Great Qi is indeed amazing to me! It is indeed an economic war!"

Emperor Qi laughed and said, "But I still feel that this is not enough! For example, I don't know where your strange Kung Fu comes from! I don't even know your master, including Shen Wansan! I can't find out where he came from! You seem to be full of mysteries, which makes me feel panic!"

As Emperor Qi spoke, his expression changed and a murderous look appeared on his face.

"So, Yang Xiu! Give me a reason not to kill you!"

Yang Xiu was not at all panicked when he saw the Emperor of Qi's sudden change of expression.

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you won't kill me! You don't have to kill me. Are you really afraid of me? I have been showing my talents since I was two years old, and I have never thought about hiding anything! Every move is exposed to your majesty's eyes. If I hide, it makes sense that your majesty is afraid of me! I am not hiding, so how can your majesty be afraid of me! Besides, I have an engagement with Doudou! Isn't this something your majesty has already prepared?"

The murderous look on Emperor Qi's face suddenly disappeared.

The speed of the changing expression amazed Yang Xiu.

The Emperor of Qi said, "I trust your father very much. However, no matter how much I trust him, your father is also in charge of a large army. I can trust him, but the whole court cannot trust him! I wanted to use the engagement between the child and you as a show to others, but I didn't expect that it would lead to you! In your words, this is called planting willows by accident and getting shade from them?"

Yang Xiu said: "My father is your majesty's subject! My father is loyal to your majesty, so I am loyal to your majesty! Your majesty may not trust me, but you can trust my father!"

Emperor Qi nodded: "Indeed! I didn't expect that you can see and hear clearly! However, this is not enough. I am still here, and your father is still here, but what if we are all gone? The ruler of the future cannot suppress you! Doudou listens to you and obeys your orders. His whole heart is tied to you! Even if I say something now, you can't do anything to me!"

Emperor Qi tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

His face was calm and composed.

But Yang Xiu became alert.

If the Emperor of Qi showed murderous intent like he did just now, Yang Xiu would not be afraid, because it was obviously meant to scare him.

And now the Emperor of Qi is so calm that it is scary.

It seems that there is no sadness or joy on his face.

But no one knows what he is thinking.

Maybe, at this time, Emperor Qi really wanted to kill him!
Yang Xiu said, "Then what does Your Majesty want me to do? If Your Majesty kills me here today, it will solve the problem once and for all! But there will be a lot of troubles afterwards! Apart from other things, you have to think of a reason for my father, and you have to coax Doudou! You also have to shut up this Northern Qi student! After all, I am now somewhat famous for my talent! And my teacher, Zhuang Mohan! Your Majesty must not be so easy to deal with!"

Emperor Qi did not speak, but looked at Yang Xiu.

After a while.

Emperor Qi stopped tapping his fingers.

Suddenly changed the subject.

"Nanqing has begun to stir! I estimate that war will begin again soon!"

Yang Xiu frowned.

I don’t know why Emperor Qi suddenly brought up this matter.

The Emperor of Qi said: "If a war breaks out this time, I will still lead the army in person!"

Yang Xiu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is truly a model ruler! You must personally take care of things! This is a great joy for the Great Qi!"

The Qi Emperor laughed loudly: "Interesting! It's rare for you to flatter me! Do you know why I'm telling you this all of a sudden?"

Yang Xiu shook his head. He really didn't know.

He himself was wondering why Emperor Qi would tell him this!
Yang Xiu said, "Your Majesty, you are not planning to send me to the battlefield and die there, are you? This method is not very smart! And it is full of loopholes. My parents will not agree to it. If Your Majesty insists, everyone will know that there is a problem! It will affect my reputation!"
