Chapter 40 Entering the Palace to Face the Holy Spirit
"The Caomin don't know the reason." Jiang Li's expression was calm and peaceful: "Who is the murderer, I'm afraid that if the Caomin don't say anything, His Majesty will also get the answer from the news circulating in Beijing."
The emperor's thick eyebrows frowned: "Zhuhui?"
Gu Jinzhi's heart trembled slightly, Jiang Li's face did not change, he just replied lightly: "Zhuhui killed all the Jiang family, the reason is not important anymore, the important thing is that the grass people will not let the master who gave the orders come to you at night. Live in peace, since her hands are bloodied, Cao Min doesn't care about her blood staining her clothes."
Jiang Li's tone was very light, like down feathers, like falling snow.His face was clear and quiet, his eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were lowered.But what he said, there was a faint force of wind and thunder, hidden frost and sharp blades, and a sinister aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
Even His Majesty the emperor, who had been in a high position for a long time and had seen strong winds and waves, couldn't help but be shocked by this. This seemingly weak and gentle person has hidden sharpness, and his sword is deadly.The emperor was shocked, and his eyes couldn't help showing a gleam. He looked at Jiang Li with a new understanding, and the more he looked, the gleam in his eyes deepened.An idea was about to come up in his heart, his hands trembled with excitement, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart, knowing to Gu Jin who was beside him: "The queen mother knew that you were entering the palace today, and she must have some refreshments for you to pass. You go now Come on, don't make her wait."
Are you rushing me away?
Gu Jinzhi clenched his fists slightly with his hands hidden in the wide sleeves. He took a peek at Jiang Li from the corner of his eye, and when he looked at the emperor, a faint sternness flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he slowly got up to salute the emperor: "Yes. , my younger brother will leave."
Gu Jinzhi left, and only Jiang Li, the emperor, and the chief eunuch who served the left and right were left in the huge imperial study.
The atmosphere became extremely strange in an instant, the emperor remained silent for a long time, and Jiang Li did not act rashly.While playing chess with himself, the emperor drank the third cup of tea brought by the eunuch. After a long silence, the eunuch brought the fourth cup. The emperor suddenly said, "I will help you avenge your family, are you willing?"
Jiang Li's eyes were clear, as if being blown by a breeze, the surface of the water was rippling with slight ripples, glowing with a deep but unusually clear light.This made the emperor uncertain whether he had already guessed what he was asking, or whether he was too psychologically strong to be calm at any time.
The emperor held a piece in his hand, and lightly landed on the chessboard: "I sent troops to encircle and suppress Zhuhui, and in this way, you will be avenged."
Facing this kind of temptation, Jiang Li looked very calm: "Redempting the grassroots is rude. Cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed. The grassroots will not be rewarded for their merits. Thank you for your majesty's reward."
When the emperor heard this, displeasure welled up between his brows: "You don't believe me?"
Jiang Li responded calmly: "The grassroots don't dare, it's just that His Majesty gave me such benefits, I'm afraid there is still a word "but" that hasn't been mentioned?"
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't pretend to be a great saint anymore, so he straightened up and said seriously: "Of course there are buts. But this is definitely a condition that is beneficial to you, and there is nothing harmful about it. Your My father, Mr. Jiang, is half of my teacher, and it is my duty to avenge my teacher. If you accept my help, you will be able to avenge your grievances, and let your parents and even the whole family die in peace. Secondly, I will bestow You have the same official position as Mr. Jiang, and even resurrected Jiushu."
Jiang Li's turbulent eyes finally flashed a momentary look of surprise, which was perfectly captured by the emperor, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but smile: "How? Is it beneficial without any harm?"
"Your Majesty governs the country well, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the civil and military are loyal and good. Is it necessary for an organization like Jiushu to exist?"
The emperor's brows were sullen: "You are Jiang Ming's son. You have been reading and reading since you were a child. You don't need to explain. You should understand."
Which of the courts of all dynasties can maintain the unity of one mind?Which of the emperors of all dynasties can really sit back and relax?Existences like Jiushu are the emperor's unique weapon. Those who are inconvenient to kill are all solved by Jiushu secretly.
This is still the case today.Today's sage also wants to cultivate an organization, an organization that only obeys his own orders, just like the late emperor.
Jiang Li respectfully knelt down and said, "Your Majesty loves me so much, the grassroots are ashamed."
The emperor was shocked: "You want to reject me?"
"Caomin is not my father. Caomin has no morals and incompetence, and knows nothing about court affairs. Your Majesty knows that Caomin was locked up by his father in the mansion since he was a child. I have also educated the grassroots, not to pursue fame and fortune, and to stay away from court battles. The grassroots still remember it in their hearts. Parents must avenge their revenge, but His Majesty’s kindness can’t afford to redeem the grassroots. The grassroots have nothing to ask for in life, only hope for great revenge. No wind and no waves, live the rest of your life with peace of mind.”
The emperor trembled in his heart, not only felt Jiang Li's indifference to fame and fortune, but also felt displeased because he was rejected.The court situation is unpredictable, and he, the lord of the world, also has many helplessness.So there must be an organization around him like the first emperor created Jiushu to help.And this kind of organization must have a leader with outstanding abilities, who must not only be skilled in martial arts, but also courageous, resourceful, strong-willed, and indomitable.
Jiang Li met all of the above conditions, and there were many extra advantages.It can be said that he was born to inherit his father's position!
"I can give you whatever you want." The emperor felt a little anxious, and couldn't help persuading him: "Don't you just want to avenge your family? I can send troops to help you."
Jiang Li leaned on the ground: "Your Majesty, please make amends."
"You." The emperor held his breath in his chest, choking him so much that he almost coughed. He suppressed the suffocation, and seeing Jiang Li's insistence, he was afraid that he would not agree to it even if he said it.Even if he was furious, threw people into a prison, locked them up, pushed them to the execution ground and beheaded them, so what?has no meaning?
"That's all." The emperor waved his hand wearily: "If you don't accept it, how can I force it."
Jiang Li knew that the emperor had given up, so he said respectfully: "Caomin, thank you for your majesty's fulfillment."
"You go back first." The emperor sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but want to fight for it again, so he said: "Let's keep this condition for now. If you change your mind someday, just come back to me."
Jiang Li retreated out of the imperial study.
Eunuch Tang, the chief eunuch, used to look at the emperor's face. When Jiang Li went out, he moved to the emperor's side to comfort him and said, "This Mr. Jiang is so stubborn that he wasted His Majesty's grace for nothing. He is the one who can get His Majesty's attention." The blessings that have been cultivated in several lifetimes are so self-willed and rude, and the slaves are anxious to see it."
The emperor's eyes darkened for a moment: "I think it's rare for this person to be indifferent to fame and wealth, and to be at ease."
Eunuch Tang hesitated to speak, but the emperor couldn't help laughing after saying this: "Just like Mr. Jiang in the past, although he showed his sharpness, he didn't make it public. He can frighten the heroes, but he won't overstep and cause trouble. , well-behaved, loyal and courageous, no wonder Father trusts him so much."
Eunuch Tang bent over and asked softly tentatively: "Your Majesty still values Mr. Jiang?"
"Because of his underestimation of fame, fortune and power, I feel more at ease when I use it."
"But he himself doesn't seem to want to..." Mr. Tang was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly remembered that the emperor had just been rejected by his mouth, a master of the world who looked down on everything, and he felt ashamed if he didn't keep everything.If this continued, it would inevitably offend the emperor. Eunuch Tang was very discerning and thoughtful, so he immediately shut up obediently.Out of the corner of his eye, he kept observing the emperor's every move. He saw that his eyes were piercing, staring straight ahead for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
The long silence made Eunuch Tang's heart pounding, and finally he couldn't bear it any longer, and called softly from the side: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor was taken aback for a moment before reacting.
"What is His Majesty thinking so preoccupied?"
"Zhen..." The emperor turned to look at Eunuch Tang: "I think of Jinzhi."
"Master Shu?"
"Yes, did you notice King Shu's expression just now?"
Eunuch Tang looked bewildered, shook his head and said, "Prince Shu doesn't look good?"
"I can't tell." The emperor leaned back in his chair, held his breath and meditated: "I deliberately pushed him away, the look in his eyes before he left...at first I didn't notice it, but now that I think about it, it feels a little sinister."
Mr. Tang rolled his round eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is over-hearted? Prince Shu is pure, kind and gentle. He has a child's disposition and doesn't have a heart. Maybe something is not going well and he lost his temper again?"
"Really?" The emperor was dubious, thought carefully, and nodded clearly: "Jin knows that child is straight-minded, if he likes it, he likes it, and if he hates it, he hates it. In order to please Jiang Li, he searched half of the world to find that Xiaofeng Yuqin was given away to others. Later, something happened to Jiang Li, and so many people were sent to search the capital with great fanfare. He really regarded Jiang Li as a treasure, and just now I deliberately sent him away, leaving Jiang Li alone to talk... Heh, The kid."
The emperor smiled lightly, but suddenly changed the subject, looking at Eunuch Tang with more complicated eyes: "In your opinion, what about Jiang Li?"
Eunuch Tang considered it carefully, and said, "Mr. Jiang is astonishingly beautiful, and his attainments in martial arts are no less than that of Mr. Jiang in the past. His temperament is super dusty, and he can't be described by the four words "Piao Ran Xian Physique"." Pass."
Sure enough, the emperor's smile deepened: "Hehehe, that's not bad."
Eunuch Tang leaned over slightly, and at the end he suddenly added: "Can the person Prince Shu likes be so bad?"
The emperor's smile was slightly condensed, and his face was slightly stiff.
