Li Yuan changed the topic. He took another sip of honey water and said, "Erlang Du, We came today for the matter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. We have now read the fifth chapter. We heard that Qian Zai Lai obtained the book from your hands. Then, you must be Luo Guanzhong. You used Luo Guanzhong's name to write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You must have more content in your hands. "
Du Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Luo Guanzhong. I merely heard someone tell such a story. So, I transcribed it according to the memory in my mind."
Li Yuan said, "We don't believe your tricks. This kind of thing can deceive others, but it can't deceive me. Tell me, where is the content of your chapters? Take them out and let us take a look. "
The corner of Du Qi's mouth twitched.
This Li Yuan was too overbearing. He did not give him a chance to defend himself at all. However, Du Qi did not make too much of an explanation. He said, "Your Majesty, this kid does indeed have some manuscripts in his hands."
"Quick, quickly take them out!"
Li Yuan's face was brimming with smiles.
He read the fifth chapter and was incomparably looking forward to it. He was already attracted by the contents of the book. He wished he could finish reading it in one go. Now that he could see more content, he was naturally incomparably excited.
Li Yuan nodded at Liu Jian. Liu Jian entered and quickly took the manuscripts out.
This manuscript was written to the eighteenth chapter.
There were fifteen more chapters.
It was enough for Li Yuan to read for a while. In reality, Du Qi's manuscripts had long been more. However, Du Qi left behind a portion of the manuscripts. He had a stockpile, so he did not panic.
It was still early now. Li Yuan did not say much. After receiving the book, he drank the honey water while immersing himself in the book. He looked at the follow-up content, looking as if he was intoxicated. He even had to shake his head from time to time.
When Li Yuan saw the eighteenth chapter, where it was written that Jia Wenhe predicted the enemy's victory, Xiahou Dun pulled out the arrow to devour the eye, after reading it, he still had an unsatisfied expression. He asked again, "Erlang, is there nothing else?"
The way he addressed Du Qi had changed.
Li Yuan no longer addressed Du Qi as Erlang and directly addressed him as Erlang. This situation was Li Yuan's closeness to Du Qi.
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the market has only updated to the fifth chapter. My manuscript is already up to the eighteenth chapter. There's no way I can write more. If you want to read it, you'll have to wait for me to slowly write it down. "
"Sigh …"
Li Yuan could not help but sigh.
His face was full of regret.
Li Yuan sighed emotionally and said, "Erlang, your Romance of the Three Kingdoms is indeed exquisite. Dong Zhuo's brutality, Wang Yun's foolish loyalty, Diao Chan's indomitable spirit, Lu Bu's bravery and lack of strategy, Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, Cao Cao's cunning and strategy … This book is truly exquisite! "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is too kind!"
When Li Yuan thought up to here, he looked at the imperial palace chief steward, Xiao Li, and instructed, "Bring over my token."
Xiao Li was the imperial palace chief steward and was familiar with Li Yuan's matters. When he heard Li Yuan's words, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Because Li Yuan's token not only represented Li Yuan, but it could also enter and leave the palace at will.
This was something that extremely few people could possess.
But looking at Li Yuan's appearance, he actually wanted to give Du Qi a token. Xiao Li did not do it immediately but hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said probingly, "Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan flicked his sleeves grandly and said, "I have my considerations. You don't need to say anymore, bring it out."
"Yes!"
When Xiao Li heard that, he reached his hand out from his sleeves and took out a token, handing it to Li Yuan's hand.
Li Yuan received it and threw it to Du Qi, saying, "Take it!"
Du Qi received it.
This was a golden token, written on it were the words' As if I am here in person '. Such a token was equivalent to representing Li Yuan, so one could enter and leave the palace at will.
Du Qi swiftly put it away and said, "Your Majesty's great kindness, this kid thanks you very much. If this kid encounters bad people and is bullied by bad people, I will definitely enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to uphold justice. "
Li Yuan snorted and said exasperatedly, "I did not give you this token to let you enter the palace to seek help. My meaning is, you deliver a chapter into the palace every day, this token is yours. Remember, you have to deliver it to me every afternoon before the hour of the afternoon. If you are late, I will not let you off lightly. "
"Yes!"
Du Qi patted his chest and guaranteed, saying, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, this kid will definitely complete the mission. Although the mission is arduous, this kid will do it without hesitation and will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's high regard. "
Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Du Qi and said, "Enough flattery, there is no need to enter the palace to deliver chapters today. Starting from tomorrow, deliver them to me. Since it is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it must involve Wei, Shu, and Wu. Currently, in Wei, Shu, and Wu, only Cao Cao's foundation has just been established, the rest are still far from it. Presumably, there is still a lot to write. You write slowly, you must write an excellent book. "
"Yes."
Du Qi immediately replied.
Now that he received the benefits bestowed by Li Yuan, he naturally had to make Li Yuan satisfied. Otherwise, if Li Yuan was not satisfied, the token in his hand would not be able to be used. Although Li Yuan said that the token was for him to enter and leave the palace, in reality, with this token, Du Qi could use the token to display other functions, it would not hinder Du Qi from exploiting the might of the tiger.
Li Yuan said, "Do your job well, I am leaving."
Du Qi said, "This kid will see you off, Your Majesty!"
"No need!"
Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Xiao Li followed behind Li Yuan and walked straight out. However, he turned his head and glanced at Du Qi, his gaze meaningful. Xiao Li followed Li Yuan for many years and had seen countless things, he could be considered experienced and knowledgeable. However, he had never seen such a monstrous kid like Du Qi, truly stunning. Hence, Xiao Li's heart was already set on Du Qi.
This kid could not be taken lightly.
After Du Qi sent Li Yuan off with his eyes, Liu Jian looked at Du Qi with eyes full of little stars.
He said with a shocked expression, "Young Master, you are too incredible. Previously, His Highness Duke of Qin personally bestowed the token, allowing you to enter and exit the Duke of Qin's Manor at will. Now, His Majesty the Emperor also bestowed you a token. The Emperor simply treats you like a nephew. "
Du Qi smiled but did not answer.
Regardless of whether it was Li Shimin's token or Li Yuan's token, they both had conditions. If one could not do things well, then this token would be a hot potato instead.
Just as Du Qi's voice faded, a figure had already entered the room. This figure entered and looked around. Seeing that there was only Du Qi and Liu Jian's courtyard empty, he frowned and asked, "Erlang, I heard the people in the residence say that His Majesty the Emperor came to your courtyard. Where is he now? "
The person who came was shockingly the Jeong Clan.
She heard the residence's attendant report that the Emperor came to the Du family incognito for a private visit. Hence, she hurried over. She did not expect to enter the courtyard but did not discover Li Yuan's figure.
Du Qi replied, "Mother, His Majesty has already left. He came to our residence just to read a book. "
"Read a book?"
The Jeong Clan's face revealed a surprised expression.
She frowned and said, "Erlang, don't deceive Mother. The Emperor came to our residence to read a book. Could it be that you think Mother is easy to deceive? "
Liu Jian hurriedly explained, "Madam, it's true. His Majesty the Emperor came to our residence to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
After the Jeong Clan heard it, she was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "I remember, when I went out, I chatted with many good friends. I often heard them mention the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Mother was not very interested in these things. At that time, she did not take it to heart. What, does the Romance of the Three Kingdoms have anything to do with you? "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Mother, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by your son."
"Ah!"
The Jeong Clan's expression revealed a surprised expression, saying, "You are that Luo Guanzhong?"
Du Qi said, "Luo Guanzhong is a pen name your son casually made. It is not worth mentioning. His Majesty came to our residence to read this book. Not only that, His Majesty also asked me to send a chapter into the palace every day. In order to make it easier for me to enter the palace, His Majesty specially bestowed a token, allowing me to enter the palace at any time. "
While speaking, Du Qi took out the token 'Emperor Is Here'.
The Jeong Clan carefully took it. She looked at the nine dragons coiled around the edges and looked at the four words' Emperor Is Here 'on the token. She only felt a little weak in the bottom of her heart, but she also felt incomparably proud.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by her son.
The Emperor was her son's fan.
The Jeong Clan handed the token to Du Qi and told Du Qi to keep it carefully. She also told Du Qi not to spread the news of the Emperor's visit. She said, "Erlang, Mother still has things to do, so I will leave first."
Du Qi said, "Mother, take care!"
The Jeong Clan twisted her waist with a proud look on her face. She secretly said in her heart, a group of flirtatious little bitches. Last time, she was invited to go out to play with a group of noble ladies. These people were talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and she was ignored on the side.
It was very awkward.
This time, she must fiercely show off.
Let these flirtatious little bitches know her power. There was no other way. Her son's power was different. Who told her to have a son like Du Qi?
