My wife is weak

Chapter 149

As the sun rose, the Golden Luan Hall was already full of people.

Song Hao and Song Yan stood at the front, and after several ministers finished reporting, the emperor said, "Fourth brother, I heard that you brought a person with you when you came to court this time."

Song Yan took a step forward and said, "Yes, I did bring a person with me this time. This person is the expert I mentioned who helped my minister control the water in Shunning."

"Oh? Now that you're here, let's come up. I also want to see what kind of expert you are talking about?"

The visitor walked slowly to the middle of the hall, clasped his fists and bowed, instead of kneeling.

"I have seen the emperor."

This person is Chu Li, with the silver mask still covering his face, making it difficult to hide his appearance, but this extraordinary temperament is hard to conceal.

Facing the issue of Chu Li's etiquette, the emperor didn't care, but he hoped that this person could really be as capable as he showed, and that's enough.

"I don't know what the son's name is?"

The emperor looked at the people in front of him with an air of nobility that was rare for others. Even though he tried his best to cover it up, it was still hard to ignore.

"You can just call me Li."

The emperor nodded and asked: "I heard from the fourth son that Mr. Li is a master."

"You can't be called an expert, it's just that His Royal Highness is exalting you."

The emperor also wanted to recruit talents, so he asked: "There is one thing that has been confusing me recently. I wonder if Mr. Li can listen to it and help me find a way?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Chu Li was still the same, and replied calmly.

"You said that now I have given a person three treasures, which are divided into upper, middle and lower grades. It is obvious that the person's achievements can win the upper grade treasure, but he retreated and chose the middle grade. Why."

As soon as these words came out, others were okay, but Song Yan's face changed slightly.

Chu Li just thought for a while, and then said: "This person is clearly qualified to obtain high-grade treasures, but he chose middle-grade treasures instead of low-grade treasures. Those above are greedy, and those below are false, so we choose among them.”

Taking the high-grade treasures makes you look greedy, and deliberately taking the second-grade treasures makes you look hypocritical, so you take the middle-grade treasures, which is just right.

The Holy Majesty sitting on the high seat heard this explanation and smiled with satisfaction. This answer was very satisfactory to him.

"Well said! What a person who takes the above is greedy, and whoever takes the bottom is false! Say it well!"

The emperor looked at the person standing straight in the middle of the hall, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Li wants to be an official in my country of Ling?"

This was very much in line with Chu Li's wishes, he ignored the surprise of the people standing beside him, and said: "That's naturally very good."

"Your Majesty, may I have a few words with His Majesty alone?"

Originally, he was about to retreat from the imperial court, and it happened that Chu Li could be regarded as the emperor who looked more pleasing to the eye, so it would not be a big problem to have a few words alone.

"Okay, except Mr. Li, everyone else should retreat!"

Before Song Yan left, he took a look at Chu Li who had followed the emperor into the Golden Luan Hall, with both joy and worry in his eyes.

The joy is that Mr. Li is his man, and he is favored by the emperor.

What worries me is my reward for water control this time. I don’t know if he is too sensitive. I always feel that I am talking about myself, telling myself not to be greedy...

　This "take which" is actually what Mrs. Bian said in the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao rewarded her.

　　Good night, I'm so sleepy.
