The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

"The system is coming, please wait..."

...

There is no need to doubt, the transitional sound of the system urinating sounded in Xiao Rui's mind again, he did not continue to pay attention to the loading of the system, but left Six Arts Tea House with Guo Jia, preparing to return to the Princess Mansion.

The four of them walked on the street in a low-key manner. When they passed a street intersection, they saw that it was very lively in front of them, and many people were crowding around to watch a play.

When Xiao Rui passed by, he just stopped to take a look.

I saw a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, with a sign hanging in front of him, which read: "Young man, I was born in a poor family. This year, my father fell ill and died of intractable medicine. All the remaining money in the family is for my father." Asking for medicine, I am already penniless. As a son of man, I cannot bury my dead father, which is really unfilial. Today, I sell my body to bury my father, and I hope that the gentry and nobles in the past will show mercy. Sincerely, Gongye, I wish to die for the cattle and horses.”

People around pointed and pointed, but no one reached out to give alms.

Xiao Rui stood outside the crowd, listening to the people talking.

"It must be a liar, how can the elders sell themselves to bury their fathers?"

"That's right! It's a disgrace to see how healthy he is!"

...

However, Xiao Rui felt that this man was not lying. His face was haggard and his eyes were tired, which was caused by long-term fatigue. His body was weak and his lips were pale, which was the result of malnutrition. More importantly, the sadness on that face couldn't be faked.

After Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, Guo Jia squeezed into the crowd and asked, "Friend, how much money do you need?"

The man raised his head, his eyes were red, and said, "My lord, I need twenty taels!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people immediately exploded.

"Are you kidding me? You want so much money? You must be a liar!"

"Little brother, don't be fooled! How much is twenty taels of silver? Is his father's grave made of silver?"

The surrounding discussions made the man look ugly, but he did not refute. For him, selling his body to bury his father is already a great shame, and a seven-foot man kneels here to give up his dignity for twenty taels of silver. He really doesn't have the courage and face to argue with the people watching the theater.

Xiao Rui stepped forward and asked, "Can you tell me why you need so many?"

The man's gaze shifted to Xiao Rui, and he saw that Xiao Rui was the key, so he sighed and said: "In order to heal my father, I have sold everything in the seller and borrowed twelve taels of silver! So I borrowed Twenty taels, twelve taels are used to repay the money, two taels of silver are used to bury the deceased father, and the remaining money is to thank the neighbors for their support. My life should be worth twenty taels!"

Xiao Rui was a little moved. Most parents in this world will give everything for their children, but in turn, the children's contributions for their parents are not so reciprocal. Why has filial piety been an important factor to measure a person's character since ancient times? Because if a person can't even be filial to his biological parents, how good can this person be!

Xiao Rui nodded, Guo Jia gave him fifty taels of silver from his arms, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I only brought these taels of silver with me when I went out this time, you take it for now!"

The man stared blankly at Guo Jia and Xiao Rui, especially Guo Jia's actions. He presented it to him with both hands, not a casual reward, let alone a casual discard, which showed Guo Jia's respect for him.

The man's eyes were instantly moist, and he tried his best not to let the tears stay.

"Thank you benefactor! Dare to ask benefactor's name! The villain will serve benefactor after burying his father." The man clasped his fists and said.

Xiao Rui was about to refuse, but was suddenly startled by the system's notification tone.

"Ding dong... The descendant character, Gongye Chang, has full loyalty, and the current loyalty value is:."

what's the situation?

Xiao Rui was a little dumbfounded, and immediately sank his mind into the system, only to realize that the arrival of the system had already been completed.

"Advent is complete!"

"The category of this coming: character coming!"

"This time the character is coming to the camp: the loyalty camp."

"A random character came this time: Chang Gongye."

"Advent Characters Introduction: Gongye Chang, named Zizhi, Confucius' disciple and son-in-law in the Spring and Autumn Period, one of the "Seventy-two Sages". Since childhood, he was poor, diligent and frugal, intelligent and studious, knowledgeable in books and etiquette, possesses both ability and political integrity, and lived his whole life Studying is not an official job. According to legend, if you can understand the language of birds, you can understand the language of a hundred birds."

"Please ask the host to fulfill the wish of the descended character and guarantee loyalty!"

...

Xiao Rui's eyes widened. The Gongye Chang who sold himself to bury his father in front of him is the descendant? Full Advent Value with just one simple operation?

show...

It's just that I'm not familiar with Mr. Gongye, and after reading his introduction, I've spent my whole life studying, so this time I've been born an excellent educator?

What I need is a fierce general, a counselor!

"It's a pity..." Xiao Rui felt a little regretful, but he didn't show it.

He smiled and said to Gong Yechang: "You can call me Seventh Young Master, don't kneel down, get up quickly."

"Yes, young master." Chang Gongye stood up.

Only then did the people watching the theater disperse, not forgetting to mutter that Xiao Rui was a fool with a lot of money, and he was cheated of fifty taels for nothing.

"Cuckoo..."

At this moment, a pigeon flew over suddenly, landed on Gongye's long shoulders, and then used its beak to lick Gongye's long hair.

Chief Gongye also made a cooing sound, and then, a strange scene appeared, the pigeon jumped up and down happily, and then flew into the hands of Chief Gongye, enjoying his caress.

The four of Xiao Rui looked shocked.

Suddenly, Xiao Rui thought of Mr. Gongye's mission introduction, and quickly asked, "Are you proficient in bird language?"

Chief Gongye nodded and said respectfully: "I understand a little bit. Animals also have spirituality. Although their intelligence is not as good as that of humans, as long as they find a way to communicate, they can get acquainted with them. I have been gifted in this area since I was a child, and my family has raised a lot of them." Animals, they are all my friends."

After hearing this, Guo Jia immediately became interested and asked, "Can you take us to have a look?"

"Of course you are welcome! My lord, please!" Chief Gongye responded immediately.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui followed Chief Gongye to leave Yandu, walked four or five miles north from the city, and came to a village. This village was next to the mountains and forests. mountain forest.

His father's body was still at home, so Xiao Rui and the others didn't go in, and Chang Gongye had already sold all the things that could be sold, and there was not even a bench in the house.

However, what amazes Xiao Rui and Guo Jia is that Chang Gongye's house has countless flying pigeons, sparrows, wild dogs, deer and so on. These small animals stayed peacefully in the yard, and when they faced the four strangers Xiao Rui, they immediately wanted to flee, but when they saw Gongye Chang, they all fell silent again.

Guo Jia asked: "Mr. Gongye, I see that you are thin all over. I think because of your father's business, you have spent all your money on medical treatment, so you can't get enough to eat. But there are so many animals in your yard, why don't you..."

Chang Gongye shook his head and said: "Although they are animals, they are also my friends. How can I have the intention of harming my friends? So even if I starve to death, I will not hurt them."

After finishing speaking, Chang Gongye clapped his hands and let out a strange cry, and those little animals ran over.

Guo Jia seemed to have caught a treasure, and quickly asked: "Master Gongye, these animals listen to you so much, such as these pigeons, can they be trained to be loyal and stable carrier pigeons? Or are other birds that fly faster and fly faster?" Farther away?"

Gong Yechang nodded and said: "These pigeons can be used as carrier pigeons! However, if the distance is longer, the flying speed of carrier pigeons will be dwarfed, and carrier pigeons will be captured by other natural enemies. Therefore, carrier pigeons are only suitable for short distances, such as within a thousand miles. Thousands of miles away, as Mr. Feng Xiao mentioned, you can indeed use other birds, such as the gyrfalcon! The gyrfalcon is a medium-sized raptor with faster speed and longer flight distance, and it has no natural enemies, but the character of the gyrfalcon is better than Carrier pigeons are irritable. If you want to use gyrfalcons to deliver letters, you need to train them well, and the training method is relatively difficult. Basically, you have to tame them from an early age. But this is not a problem for me. As long as I can catch gyrfalcons, I will take them Train to be a reliable messenger!"

"I remember that there are snow-capped mountains in the west of Yan Kingdom. There should be many gyrfalcons living there, right?" Guo Jia asked.

Gong Yechang nodded, and said yearningly: "Gyrfalcons like to live on cold cliffs. There are continuous snow-capped mountains in the west of Yan Kingdom. There are indeed a large number of gyrfalcons, and they are white falcons. To tell you the truth, my son and sir, I once dreamed of going to Pilgrimage to the snow-capped mountains, I heard that there are still sea dongqings there! Costinins are the kings among the gyrfalcons, if I can subdue a few of them, I will be satisfied."

Listening to the conversation between Guo Jia and Gong Yechang, Xiao Rui understood Guo Jia's plan, and at the same time his breathing became a little short.

After Xiao Rui left the capital, if he wanted to contact Jia Xu, he could only hurry through the post station. Even if it was an express report within eight hundred miles, how could there be so many horses that travel thousands of miles a day? People don't rest and rotate horses, and it takes two days to reach the eight hundred miles.

Now that they are in Yandu, they can't even use the post station. If they want to pass the news, they will be caught blind. In other words, if he died outside, Emperor Xia would not even know about it!

As for a war, whoever can seize the opportunity will be able to take advantage of the right time and place, and already has an advantage.

Therefore, each country also develops its own communication methods, but the same goal is achieved by different routes. One is the post station, the other is the flying pigeon to send messages, and there are beacons and beacons in the border areas.

However, all three methods have limitations, and cannot achieve the fastest delivery of information.

So, what would happen if Xiao Rui had a communication method far superior to other countries?

If Chief Gongye could train a large number of gyrfalcons to act as messengers to deliver all the information as quickly as possible, and he would have done it before others had acted, what would be the result?

This is the reason why Guo Jia is excited, and this is also the reason why Xiao Rui is excited!

"From this point of view, this visit is not only a waste, but a great surprise!" Xiao Rui was overjoyed.

The most urgent thing is to let Chief Gongye handle the funeral of his deceased father, and the matter of the bird messenger is not in a hurry.

Time soon came to the evening, Xiao Rui left Li Yuanfang to help Chief Gongye handle the funeral, while he and Guo Jia returned to Princess Yandu's mansion under the escort of Dian Wei.
