Jiang Wang did not meet the emperor because the emperor had his back turned to him.
There is a huge and hollow crystal pillar in the hall, and outside it is a transparent relief that cannot be seen unless you look carefully, inscribed with the mountains and rivers of the world. There is living water in it, with luxuriant aquatic plants and various kinds of swimming fish and shuttles.
This is more than just a fish tank with a unique shape. It is said that it is connected to the Zihe River.
The emperor then folded his hands and watched the fish without saying a word.
Huo Yanshan quietly exited the hall and guarded the door silently.
Jiang Wang walked into the palace and saluted Emperor Qi who did not look back: "Jiang Wang, a common man, pays homage to the Emperor."
silence.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Jiang Wang continued what he had done while standing outside waiting - using Ru Meng Ling to simulate the scene of fighting with Master Ye Da. He has a broad mind, and this move is purely to sharpen his combat power, find out his shortcomings, and break through himself, not for revenge.
Just when the exercise here got intense, the emperor spoke: "I didn't let you wait before, but now you can't see me at any time. Do you know why?"
Jiang Wang said honestly: "I waited for two hours last time."
Jiang Wang added: "Then I waited all night."
The emperor said: "My country is busy with affairs, so don't talk about irrelevant things."
"Uh." Jiang Wang said, "Because His Majesty is busy with state affairs, I need to wait."
"There is no place for you in Qi State." the emperor said.
Jiang Wang said: "If I don't sit down, I will just walk."
"Where do you think this is, you can go wherever you want?"
"I regard this place as my second hometown and come back often to visit."
"Don't use meaningless names to impress yourself. There are first and second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth. It doesn't matter. The whole world is your hometown."
"Although the world is big, there are only two hometowns." Jiang Wang said in a sincere voice: "Maplewood City is the hometown where I was born. I can't choose. There are people there that I can never see again. Qi State is the path I chose. It’s a place where we struggle and grow, and where we gain and lose. Here are my eternal friends and people I will always respect.”
There was no emotion or anger in the emperor's voice. He raised his finger and pointed at the crystal pillar. There was a rainbow fish in the middle. It was frightened. It suddenly left its string like an arrow and penetrated into the water plants. It instantly changed its color and became confused with the water plants... only Leaves a blister in place.
The emperor said: "You are like this fish now, slippery and changing color very quickly. It is not realistic at all."
Jiang Wang's expression did not change and he said respectfully: "This water column is like your world."
"My world is so small?"
"Connected to the Zihe River, far to the East China Sea, and running through the Yangtze River!"
"You do these homework all day long?"
"I just keep the emperor's words in mind and read more. In addition to practicing, I just read."
"During cultivation, do you see and read "The Biography of Ning Chen"?"
Jiang Wang didn't seem to understand the sarcasm at all, with an honest look on his face: "I read "The Sword of History Cuts the Sea", "The Strategy of Shimen", "General Theory of Five Punishments", "The Law of Eternity", "The Theory of Potential", "Chaocang Wu" 》……”
"It's incredible. You've learned a lot, and you already know how to apply for a book."
"I don't dare. I always wander in the sea of books and only get a drop."
"Are you so busy?"
"The world is too vast and Jiang Wang is too small. I have to study hard and practice hard to avoid being abandoned by the world."
Qi Tianzi's words were as sharp as a knife: "You are so busy, where did you get the time to become prosperous in the Mu Kingdom?"
"It's not like it's prosperous...it's just that my sworn brother got married. I stayed there for a few days, fought against the grassland heroes, and went to the border wilderness to leave a monument." Jiang Wang's His voice became softer and softer as he spoke: "By the way, I got the truth..."
Emperor Qi said: "I heard that Emperor Mu promised you ten thousand households?"
At this moment, Jiang Wang's hair was heavy.
This question is not easy to answer. If you advance, you will offend Emperor Qi, if you retreat, you will offend Emperor Mu.
In his mind, thousands of immortal thoughts flashed crazily, and finally he said calmly: "It shows that His Majesty's vision is recognized even by Emperor Mu."
The emperor stretched out his dragon sleeves and turned around. Although the height difference between the two of them was not far apart, at this moment, they seemed to be leaning over the sky, looking down at the world!
"Glib talk! I'm tired of hearing it. Weigh the pros and cons, don't blame me, just be that roly-poly! What's the difference between you and Bowang Hou now?"
Jiang Wang thought to himself, that's better than having you find an excuse to use the imperial staff, right?
But he only said: "Bo Wanghou has served the country for generations, and his wisdom is far-reaching. He is the Qiancheng of Daqi. If I can be half as smart as him, I will burn high incense."
The emperor's eyes fell on him, light and airy, but like mountains and seas: "You took my book with you before, are you here to return it now?"
"Not yet." Jiang Wang said decisively: "I have already gone through the set His Majesty gave me and made too many notes... But I can buy Your Majesty a brand new hardcover edition from the Tiandu Collection."
"Historical Swordsman Cuts the Sea" is filled with thousands of words. If it were really a collection of Tiandu, the price would be astonishing.
The emperor raised his voice slightly: "You are rich now. Are you here to show off to me?"
"Your Majesty, you should know that my pocket is empty! Just to avoid disappointing you, I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy books and give them as gifts!"
"Where's the book?"
"Ah?" Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want it?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly said: "The common people will immediately borrow money to buy books and give them to the emperor!"
"What a lousy real person you are, your hands are empty and your wallet is empty!" The emperor said coldly: "Then what are you doing here?"
"Can't you look at the elders?"
The emperor said, "How dare you ask me this question?"
Jiang Wang took a few steps back warily, bowed and said, "I'm sorry to you, common man."
The emperor didn't want to take action at first, but now he couldn't help but kick him over: "Where can you hide?"
It's not that Jiang Wang didn't want to avoid this kick, but that he really couldn't.
He obviously saw the boots, and he obviously didn't look fast, but he just couldn't react. The newly-achieved Yuanshen seemed to be demented. He only became active after he turned over in the temple.
In order to avoid being beaten twice, Jiang Wang quickly dug into his heart and said loudly: "I did come to see the Emperor, and I also wanted the Emperor to see me! I came to the Eastern Kingdom only because of the Emperor's trust and protection. If I have a chance, I will have the Jiang Wang that I am today——"
Emperor Qi raised his hand to interrupt his incitement: "I don't only give opportunities to you, I always give them to everyone in the world. It's just that there are not many people who can live up to their expectations, so you risked your life to seize it. What I reward is your merit, never Your people. You have made great achievements many times, but you have paid them all back, and you have escaped from the champion's sword on your own. I will let you go if I say, but will you eat the emperor's words? You owe nothing to the Eastern Kingdom, so say less. Boring nonsense!”
Jiang Wang said earnestly: "Your Majesty can say this, but ordinary people will not think so. Jiang Wang was born in a small country, wandered for many years, and read a lot of history books, often reading new ones. He knows that the word 'fairness' is not taken for granted. 'Fairness' 'The environment cannot appear naturally. It itself requires a large amount of social resources to maintain. It cannot be determined unless it is a wise king and a holy lord, and it cannot be balanced unless it is an upward country.
"The fact that I can grow up in a fair environment, and be able to get what I pay for is the kindness given to me by Qi State. Therefore, I never hesitate to die when I go into battle to kill the enemy and gain merit for the country.
"Jiang Wang is a person who is not sensitive and wise, reckless and impulsive, entangled with himself, and often willful. If the emperor did not tolerate me, how could this world be able to stand upright? If the emperor did not trust me, how would the world know my name?
"When I said goodbye, I was determined to die in retribution. I could no longer bear Zhuang Gao's envy for one more day, nor could I burden the country with my life and make enemies all over the world, so I left India and went to the west. I will repay this hatred in February!
"After that, I traveled six thousand miles into the wilderness, entered the cave, and slayed the demons... During these important moments in life, I often think of the Emperor.
"I think the Emperor is very sincere to me, and I also regard the Emperor as my elder, so I look at the Emperor——
"I hope that the young man who used to bare his clothes to show his wounds has truly grown into the strong man in His Majesty's heart!"
Jiang Wang spoke sincerely, while Emperor Qi listened with a blank expression.
The roar that filled the hall finally dispersed and echoed.
The emperor then said: "Is the purple cloth still there?"
The first time Emperor Qi met Jiang Wang was in Donghua Pavilion. At that time, Chong Xuansheng took Jiang Wang there and "naked his clothes." Emperor Qi did not speak to him during the whole process, and only looked at the scars all over his body. Announced——
"Give me a purple garment to cover the strong man."
At that time, Jiang Wang only replied - "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Asking this question now shows that the former monarch and minister remember the first meeting that year.
Jiang Wang cupped his hands and replied with a slightly aggrieved tone: "I have always taken good care of that purple dress and set aside a special room to burn incense. Last time, Manager Han sealed the door and sealed it for me. He said that nothing in the house could be taken away... …”
The emperor said: "It's a good seal. I asked him to seal it. You are still complaining. I didn't realize that you had this talent before!"
Jiang Wang felt a little aggrieved now. He was not allowed to answer questions? Then don't ask.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your advice is hard to hear. I'm just telling the truth, not making any accusations."
"Should I ask Han Ling to confront you?"
"This...isn't it necessary? We had a pretty good chat on the way here, and we don't want to accuse him face to face."
Qi Tianzi pointed at him: "So you're going to sue behind his back?"
"False words will deceive you, but truthful words will hurt Mr. Han." Jiang Wang sighed: "I can't deceive you."
"This sentence is a lie!"
"Every word is true."
"You look honest, but you are actually cunning. Don't I still know who you are, Jiang Wang?"
Jiang Wang said: "It's a real person."
"Now I've learned to talk nonsense, talk cleverly, and have no attitude of admitting my mistakes. The longer I get, the more slippery I become -"
"Just tell me whether it's true or not."
Qi Tianzi raised his palm high.
"I was wrong!" Jiang hoped that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss and quickly lowered his head: "I won't dare to do it next time!"
"Do you still want a next time?"
"I'll come back to see you when I have time."
"It's not enough to say anything!" Qi Tianzi waved his sleeves: "Go away, I'm not old enough to need your visit yet!"
Jiang Wang bowed deeply and said, "May your majesty's ambitions be fulfilled again and the world be filled with purple flags."
His respect, gratitude, and wishes all come from the bottom of his heart.
Emperor Qi ignored him.
He also backed up, backed up, backed up, until he reached the threshold before turning around.
Until this time, a voice came from behind - "You did a good job."
Jiang Wang strode out of Delu Palace, the sunlight outside the palace was dazzling.
…
…
Even in terms of personal power, regardless of power, the Emperor of Da Qi is also among the strongest in the world. Within the borders of the country, he is equal to transcendence, and outside the borders, he is also invincible.
For example, military monks can only show their strongest power on the battlefield, and only with the support of military formations can they see their peak killing power, which is far superior to other monks in the same realm.
The same is true when officialdom reaches its limit. The more authority you have, the stronger your cultivation will be.
For example, the emperor of the top six in the world controls the country of overlords, orders the heroes of the world, and affects the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people with a single thought. He really fights with others, controls the destiny of the country, and his fighting power is as good as the best.
If we can unify the Liuhe and rectify the world, we can achieve enlightenment through this. So even at the top, he is still the strongest existence!
Because this itself is the most difficult road.
Official cultivation is the easiest at the beginning and the most helpful for breaking through. But in the end, I felt sad about all other spiritual paths.
Because the supreme goal of unifying the world means that you have to conquer all the heroes in the world! No matter what path you take or what peak you reach, the whole world is your subject!
Today's Liuhe Emperor, once accomplished, will be even better than the Human Emperor of ancient times.
Because after generations of human beings have risen up, the current of humanity today has become countless times more prosperous than in the past.
Nowadays, officialdom is booming, and the difficulty of holding the world in hand is far greater than in the past.
For the emperors of the six hegemonic countries.
The final result is to be torn off the throne, to break up the cultivation base, to have no control over life and death, and to let the country be slaughtered. Such as Zhuang Gaoxian.
A little better is to die on the battlefield and die for the country. Such as Yang Jiande, Han Zhou and Si Yuan. Of course, there are ups and downs in this. History will remember the wise ruler and the foolish ruler.
Even better, he spent his career as an emperor with no merit or demerit, and after he left the throne, his great power failed to return. But you can still be a happy and happy person. (In fact, no one can tolerate this gap. An emperor who has not been able to return to his great power will never be able to prove the Tao after leaving office. Therefore, almost no one of these emperors who have not been able to return their great power can survive for a long time. Either forcefully break through the realm If you fail, you will either want to return to your throne but be suppressed by the new emperor, or you will simply die on the battlefield.)
The good situation is, of course, that one's merits are fulfilled, one abdicates without regrets, one's great power is attributed to oneself, and one is still the true king after one's dethronement. But this step is difficult and difficult. The difficulty of the emperor holding the supreme power and regaining his great power is beyond that of all princes and generals. The gap is more than twice or twice. After so many years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, there is only one prime minister who has returned to great power, Yan Ping. He is a virtuous prime minister who helped Emperor Jiang achieve his hegemony, and is destined to go down in history. One can imagine how difficult it is for the emperor to return to his great power.
For all the hegemonic emperors, there is only one ultimate ideal, which is the great cause of unifying the world. This is the goal that all kings in the world, throughout the ages, have been looking forward to. But it is also a path that is so narrow that only one person can succeed.
"The world is full of purple flags" is the best wish for a king.
And Emperor Qi's reward was "no debt".
The sprawling palace complex occupies the center of the three-hundred-mile-long Linzi city.
Accompanied by Huo Yanshan, the general manager of the department, Jiang Wang walked out of here step by step. The red walls, yellow tiles and white stone roads evenly distribute the skylight and reflect the clouds and mist.
I remembered that Qingyu mentioned the Immortal Palace before and gave the example of the Overlord Palace.
This majestic palace complex is only made of bricks and stones. But behind the bricks and stones, there is indeed unimaginable power.
A great leader like Emperor Qi worked hard for fifty-nine years and did not dare to slack off.
How can he say that he is truly free?
Huo Yanshan looked at him several times on the way, but hesitated to speak. Before leaving the palace, he finally said: "Master Jiang, there are shoe prints on his chest."
"Oh." Jiang Wang came to his senses and brushed his hands expressionlessly. Some of the dust had been wiped away by Ruyi Fairy Clothes.
"I have learned a new footwork. I will try to see if I can step here." He emphasized.
Huo Yanshan nodded silently.
Jiang Wang stopped saying anything. Compared with Han Ling, the new chief internal manager is still not sensible enough...
After sending Jiang Zhenren's gift out of the palace, Huo Yanshan didn't turn back until his figure disappeared from sight. Consciously, he has shown a tight-lipped image, completely unaware of the possibility of being accused of crimes.
Jiang Wang didn't know him before, but of course he knew Jiang Wang. I didn't know what kind of attitude I should use to face this Li Qi person before, but now I understand.
Unpredictable in ancient and modern times, the heart of the emperor.
Jiang Wang was silent for a while as he walked out of the Daqi Palace.
He stepped onto the long street and walked alone.
Where are you going?
Probably many people will think about this question.
Jiang Zhenren's return to Linzi this time was low-key and low-key. Han Ling came to welcome him alone, escorted him to the palace, and covered up his traces. Most of the people in the city didn't know about this at all.
There is really nothing to promote, no more than before.
But to the ears of those who are interested, these quiet and lonely footsteps are nothing less than thunder in the sky.
To put it bluntly, if Jiang Qingyang returns to Qi, he can affect the power structure of the entire Qi State.
Jiang Wang didn't want to be watched, so he covered his voice and merged into the crowd.
He has long been well-known throughout the world, and is a household name in Qi State. But the kingdom of Edom was so big and its people so numerous that it was impossible for everyone to see his face. Linzi is different. In this hegemonic city, his fans are particularly crazy.
When he left Qi, almost everyone in the Qi Kingdom who had had friction with Marquis Wu An suffered from almost crazy public criticism.
Even Wang Yiwu, a close disciple of the God of War, was not spared.
In this city, his facial features have been picked out and analyzed countless times, and each has his own fans. Those with the best eyes and those with the best bridge of nose even compete with each other.
If he walked on the street without covering up, he would be recognized immediately and cause a sensation in the whole city.
Fortunately, I can hide what I have seen and heard, so I don’t need to wear robes or hats now.
Walking on the bustling long street, looking at the busy people living their lives, he felt as if he was in it, but also as if he was outside the world.
This state of mind is not the same as before.
At this moment, he thought of Yu Beidou. It was on this street that this charlatan, whom he initially identified as an old liar, stopped in front of his horse and insisted on giving him a fortune.
Then he took his horse and took him on a long street tour to see life expectancy and the future.
I wonder if Yu Beidou saw his own life at that time?
All gone!
What night is this?
Jiang Wang walked away casually and relaxed his mind. At this time, among the complicated noise, he accurately captured a name, a very familiar name——
You Ming.
He couldn't help but smile.
Half-turning his steps, he had already appeared in a certain restaurant. He summoned a chair and sat among the scribes who were gathered around a table and talking loudly.
Then he moved his eyes, let go of his voice, and asked these people to see and hear him.
Er Fengming was drunk, his face was red, and he was giving advice: "I wrote an article several years ago! You didn't believe it at that time. I said at that time that the disadvantage of today is--"
He saw Jiang Wang.
The red face turned into a white face, the hand that was raised high to boost the momentum was lowered, and the figure that stood up when talking about excitement slowly slid down.
"Did I let you sit down?" Jiang Wang asked calmly.
Er Fengming immediately stood up straight again.
The other scribes at this table also subconsciously stood up and stood in a circle.
"It's okay, you guys sit down." Jiang Wang raised his palm and pressed it down, instructing them to sit down, like pressing down a bunch of puppets.
Then he looked at Er Fengming with a relaxed posture and said in a relaxed tone: "Why haven't I heard you scold me recently?"
Er Fengming quickly regained his composure and said with a smile on his face, "Look at what you said, I'm just talking about the matter. Of course, it turns out that sometimes my voice is shallow, but I do it out of public motives and have no private thoughts at all." Ah. Everyone is doing this for the good of this country, but there are always people who have to stand up and find fault... How can a big shot like you care about me? If there is something, I will change it, and if there is nothing, I will encourage it, don't you think so?"
Jiang Wang didn't talk nonsense to him. He just smiled and stopped talking, and then said: "This sound will not reach the ears of a third person. If you tell me the truth today, I will not touch you."
All the scribes in the room were silent, as if they were watching a pantomime from a floor away. But they all sat obediently, not daring to say a word.
After Er Fengming weighed it for a moment, he smiled and said: "You are not in Qi anymore, so why should I scold you? You don't make any money."
It was risky for him to open this mouth, because once Jiang Wang deceived him and spread his voice, everyone would shout and beat him, and the reputation he had sought for his whole life would be destroyed in one day.
But he believed in Jiang Wang.
Because this man promises a thousand dollars.
There is a saying that the person who scolds you knows best how wronged you are.
Er Fengming sometimes feels that he can actually be regarded as the true confidant of the number one person in history!
Jiang Wang still smiled: "It's a bit solid, but not enough."
Er Fengming simply said: "You are famous, but you have no background. Only if I scold you will others notice me. If I scold someone, who will pay attention to me? How can I become famous?"
He carefully looked at Jiang Wang's expression and said: "And it is also good for you if I scold you... It is precisely because I always scold you that more people pay attention to you and understand you. Only then can you In such a short period of time, he became famous in the Eastern Kingdom."
There was no annoyance in Jiang Wang's eyes, he just looked at his performance and said leisurely: "You answered why you scolded me, but you haven't answered why you stopped scolding me now. Aren't I more famous?"
"You used to be an official, so you had scruples, so you couldn't do anything to me. Now that you have left Qi, you have no scruples." Er Fengming said honestly, "I am also afraid of death."
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Isn't it true that celebrities seek fame at the risk of death?"
Er Fengming responded frankly: "That's someone else. I don't want to imitate Xu Fang. I not only want fame, but I also want to live a good life and enjoy fame."
Jiang Wang laughed loudly, and really didn't touch him, just walked away, out of sight and hearing.
"Is he gone?"
"How's it going? What did Qingshi No. 1 really say to you?"
"Er Fengming? Hey! Are you still alive?"
The scribes at the table were all talking.
"Alas!" Er Fengming suddenly raised his eyebrows and sighed.
"What's wrong, brother?" someone asked, "Did he threaten you?"
Er Fengming sighed and said, "Today we know what a real person is!"
He had a sentimental look on his face: "From now on, I will be Jiang Zhenren's loyal dog. I will write a book and biography for him to help him become famous forever!"
"I'm so worried. What did you just say?" The scribe on the opposite side came over and said, "Stop playing riddles!"
Er Fengming looked around, looking at the expectant eyes, and then said reservedly: "I have seen Jiang Zhenren's forbearance, and Jiang Zhenren also understands that I am public-minded, but sometimes I am deceived. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, seeking common ground while reserving differences. Okay. Master Jiang and I are of the same mind, and we can forget our grudges with a smile!"
"Okay! What a great story!" The scribe next to him raised his glass.
They cheered, sang, and drank together.
What a feast!
