Chapter 8: Fishing to cultivate one's character, the immortal poet changes his master
After taking over the Jinyiwei, Ye Qi was summoned by the Queen Mother again.

After explaining Shen Zhong's situation, the Queen Mother said that everything should be done according to Ye Qi's ideas.

With Ye Qi's help, Shen Wan'er was also acquitted.

The family was reunited, and Shen Zhong was so moved that he burst into tears.

As for why the Queen Mother chose to release Shen Wan'er and forgive Shen Zhong.

It was because Ye Qi submitted a smelting drawing.

The above records relatively advanced mining and smelting technologies.

It can greatly improve Qi's mining speed and equipment manufacturing level.

You will see initial results after a few months.

These included iron smelting, steel smelting and horse-drawn carriages.

Because of the temple.

Ye Qi didn't dare to take out overly advanced drawings, as that would attract the attention of the temple.

In fact, this era is a new era after the nuclear war.

The temple is a product of the last era. It was built to prevent human technology from developing too quickly and thus triggering another nuclear war.

Therefore, the temple is always controlling the development of human technology.

It’s like the protons in the Three-Body Problem have blocked human technology.

Until you are sure of defeating the temple messenger, it is better to keep a low profile.

On this day, Ye Qi was sitting in the back garden of Jinyiwei fishing.

Shen Zhong ran over in a hurry.

"There has been progress in the negotiations!"

Ye Qi ignored Shen Zhong and continued to be immersed in fishing.

There was a big fish pulling hard at the fishing line.

Ye Qi quickly reeled in the line and pulled it hard.

A big golden fish jumped out of the lake and flew into the bamboo basket.

Shen Zhong, who was standing by, was extremely shocked.

He had served as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard for so many years, but he didn't know there were such fish in the lake.

Of course this fish is not found in the lake.

This is thanks to Ye Qi's fishing rod.

This colorful fishing rod is also obtained by signing in, and can be used to catch all kinds of strange and weird things.

For example, this big goldfish can nourish yin, strengthen yang and relieve fatigue after eating.

"You just said there was progress. How is it going?"

Ye Qi gave the fish to Wang Jian and asked him to braise the big goldfish.

Shen Zhong said: "Our army was defeated and the negotiations were originally at a disadvantage, but because Yan Bingyun was captured, we have leverage over Nan Qing, so we can minimize the losses."

"Tell me the result."

"Changting Pass was occupied by Qing State, and they are unwilling to return it. However, they are willing to use Si Lili and Xiao En in exchange for Yan Bingyun's safe return."

Ye Qi nodded: "I understand. Fan Xian will be on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi soon. You and Shangshan Hu should be prepared."

"Yes, sir!" Shen Zhong clasped his fists and left.

Shen Zhong now admires Ye Qi's foresight even more.

Everything Ye Qi said would happen, and Shen Zhong also felt that he had followed the right person.

As long as Ye Qi is loyal to Northern Qi, Shen Zhong will always be loyal to Ye Qi.

Ever since leaving the northern barbarian land.

Ye Qi has been cultivating his character during this period.

I hope to have a breakthrough in my state of mind so that I can reach the level of half-step grandmaster, and then reach the level of grandmaster.

What makes him happy is that fishing can also improve his own level.

What surprised Ye Qi was.

This guy Wang Jian has already reached the half-step grandmaster level ahead of him.

"Wang Jian, what kind of martial arts are you practicing?"

"Sir, I am cultivating the Great Qin Qi, which is much inferior to your Changsheng Jue."

"But why are you practicing so fast?"

"Your Excellency may have forgotten that I have been at the ninth rank since I came to this world two years ago, while your Excellency has risen from the first rank to the ninth rank, which is much faster than mine."

"I see."

Ye Qi felt a little more balanced. Except for fishing.

Ye Qi also opened several bookstores with Zhan Doudou to print and sell Ye Qi's books.

Soon, Ye Qi's literary reputation spread throughout Northern Qi.

That book of Tang and Song poetry directly made Ye Qi a god.

He became a contemporary literary figure of the Northern Qi Dynasty and for a time replaced Zhuang Mohan's position.

A few days later, news came from Nanqing.

At the Nanqing banquet, Fan Xian recited three hundred Tang and Song poems in front of Zhuang Mohan.

As a result, Zhuang Mohan directly took out the poetry collection written by Ye Qi and slapped Fan Xian in the face on the spot.

At the banquet, Zhuang Mohan denounced Fan Xian for plagiarizing the Northern Qi poet Ye Qi.

This collection of poems was given to Zhan Doudou by Ye Qi a year ago, and Zhan Doudou then passed it to Zhuang Mohan.

Zhuang Mohan regards this as a treasure.

Zhuang Mohan has been annotating the poetry collection this year, and will publish and sell it after the annotations are completed.

However, he never expected that he would meet a plagiarist when he was on a diplomatic mission to Nanqing, which made Zhuang Mohan very angry.

Fan Xian and Nan Qing also lost face because of this.

Emperor Qing even ordered that Fan Xian was not allowed to write poetry in the future.

When Zhuang Mohan took out the collection of poems, Fan Xian was stunned.

Fan Xian realized that there was another modern person in this world, and that person was called Ye Qi.

The news reached Northern Qi.

The people of Northern Qi were all laughing at Nan Qing, and it became a topic of conversation before and after meals.

From then on, Ye Qi was given the title of "Poet Immortal" by people.

Ye Qi didn't expect things to turn out like this.

I feel a little sorry for Fan Xian.

But Ye Qi did nothing wrong. He just gave the collection of poems to Zhan Doudou to enhance the relationship between them.

I didn't expect so many things would happen later.

It was just a pity for Fan Xian that his attempt to show off was unsuccessful.

This still does not prevent many people from liking and supporting Fan Xian.

After all, the mark left by Ye Qingmei was too deep.

There is one more item regarding the peace talks.

That is the marriage between the two countries.

The eldest princess of Northern Qi and the eldest prince of Southern Qing, Li Chengru.

The marriage proposal was proposed by Zhan Doudou, who also asked for Ye Qi's opinion.

Ye Qi did not object.

After receiving the news, Emperor Qing also expressed his approval of the marriage.

It seems that Emperor Qing also wants to turn hostility into friendship.

As we all know, Nanqing and Beiqi have been fighting for a long time. When Beiqi was still Wei, the two countries had been fighting endlessly.

Nanqing is clearly in an advantageous position now, so why would Emperor Qing agree to such a marriage?
Shouldn't we press on to win?

Ye Qi guessed that Emperor Qing did not intend to conquer Northern Qi by force, but rather planned to nibble away at Northern Qi bit by bit.

He is very ambitious and wants to leave his name in history.

He wants the people of the world to remember his merits.

Agree to a marriage alliance with Northern Qi so that Northern Qi can relax its vigilance and the kingdom can slowly erode Northern Qi.

If Emperor Qing continues to attack Northern Qi, Dongyi City will not sit idly by.

Si Gu Jian still understood the principle of "the lips and teeth are interdependent".

Once Northern Qi was destroyed, it was only a matter of time before Dongyi City was destroyed by Southern Qing.

Si Gu Jian will definitely help Northern Qi to balance Southern Qing. The two grandmasters, Si Gu Jian and Ku He, are enough to give Emperor Qing a hard time.

Now there is a vague feeling that the world is divided into three parts and checks and balances each other.

And if Ye Qi wants to command the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to travel all over the world without restraint, the necessary condition is to become a grandmaster.

So this time.

Ye Qi has been practicing martial arts and making breakthroughs in his state of mind.

Faintly, I comprehended a glimpse of the true meaning of martial arts.
