After leaving the palace, Song Yu's mind was still filled with the serious expression on Guan Jia's face when he said those last words.
In those weathered and resolute eyes, he saw tenacity, unwillingness, and... a flame that could not be extinguished!
This emperor who reorganized the old mountains and rivers and rebuilt the Zhao Kingdom on the ruins was actually no longer young.
The emperors of the Zhao Dynasty were the same as the Song Dynasty of the plane he was familiar with. They all called themselves officials. If they didn't call them emperor, they wouldn't call me.
But Zhao Cheng wants to be a wise king!
He has a lot of ambitions in his chest and possesses peerless martial arts, but he has no choice but to live in such a world where demons and ghosts run rampant.
In today's Zhao court, Li Chaoen seems to have all the power, but in fact, the person who really controls the sky with one hand is Prime Minister Chu!
He relies on Northern Qi, but he does not completely rely on Northern Qi.
He has his own team and has power beyond the world.
Regardless of the government or the opposition, it is deeply rooted!
He has been competing with the officials in the court for many years.
Just like what the officials said, from the beginning, the two sides maintained a balance, and now the balance has gradually shifted towards Prime Minister Chu... practicing magic skills is much faster than normal practice after all!
And it was only through the combined efforts of Li Chaoen, King Qi, Su Chaoyun and Qu Xiang that they held military power with one hand and used the special department of the Demon Supervisor Department with the worldly disciples of the cultivating sect to survive until today.
For example, when Liu Tong was killed before, Prime Minister Qu used him as bait for fishing, and fished out a disciple and grandson of Mr. Qian next to Prime Minister Chu.
There are many people like this, and the two sides never really stop fighting like this.
Although he is an official, he is the king of a country.
But in fact, his current situation is not much different from the slogans chanted by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang during the uprising that Song Yu knew well——
If you die now, you will die. If you make great plans, you will die. If you wait for death, how can a country die?
For the officials, even if they continue to maintain the superficial false prosperity and work hard to support this balance, sooner or later it will be broken.
Prime Minister Chu, who has super strength and huge power, will not be willing to be just a powerful minister.
This is an era of chaos and chaos among monsters and demons.
"Humanity declines, while evil flourishes."
This can be corroborated with what Jian Ling and Song Yu said.
Now Song Yu only had one question left, which made him particularly curious, but he was not easy to put it into words to ask the sword spirit——
"You and Tutu, are you a human or a monster?"
This question is important, but difficult to ask.
If the sword spirit answered that he was a human being, it would be a good thing to say that everyone on the left and right had already boarded the pirate ship, and there was no other choice except fighting to the end.
But if he is a demon, what should he do if he has already practiced the scriptures?
Dancing with monsters?
It was like guessing his thoughts.
Sword Spirit suddenly said faintly in his mind: "I didn't expect this official to be sincere and sincere, just like Tuogu, he told you so much."
"Yeah, it's not like you. It's like squeezing out toothpaste every time. It's still the kind of toothpaste that only has a small amount left and needs to be rolled out hard to squeeze out... toothpaste!"
In front of the only person in the world who truly knows his details, Song Yu is also very casual. He knows that the other party should understand.
You can cross planes and snatch people from time and space, so what does it mean to know this?
"You are the toothpaste!"
Sure enough, Sword Spirit was furious when he heard this, and then said: "I told you before... I told you before, what's the use of being curious about so many things? Just like today, the official told you, what can you do? ?Also, if Tutu is also a demon, what can you do? Can you still commit suicide?"
"That's definitely not possible..."
"Isn't it over then?"
Song Yu smiled and said, "But I can follow the official example and throw this seal into the sea."
There was silence in his mind for a while, and then Sword Spirit said: "I lost my memory and my memory is incomplete. When you official said it, I remembered some of it. It was probably like this, but... Tutu must be a human! And You look exactly like you!"
"In other words, the method of cultivating immortals is actually the scripture that I practice. Tutu... was the one who sealed these monsters back then. Then he was seriously injured for this reason and had to seal himself. Many years later, I discovered that this The world has begun to be overrun with monsters again, causing all kinds of chaos, and seeking medical attention in urgent need of treatment. Are you going to capture me from another world...?"
Song Yu asked.
Since Jianjian is willing to squeeze out some toothpaste, let's just ask him by the way.
"Almost, but it's not some kind of illness that requires urgent medical treatment," Sword Spirit said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "it's the soul of Daoxiang!"
"Okay, okay, Earth is the most awesome." Song Yu said.
"That's right!" Sword Spirit agreed.
"Now we should be able to fuck Xiantian for a while, right?"
"It's just for a while. You are not my opponent yet, so you can't be exposed. You can't be exposed at all!" Sword Spirit warned seriously: "You can show some super martial arts talents. For example, practicing the Linzi Secret Treasure will bring to your body As long as you don't use the golden-armored divine general you imagined, you'll be fine. Unless there's a situation where an innate strong man attacks you, if that happens, you'll be on the run after a fight!"
Song Yu thought for a while and said: "According to the current situation, Prime Minister Chu and his group should still want to be righteous, and they have not reached the stage where they are really dancing around with demons."
"Yes, your opponents now are actually still humans." Sword Spirit said: "Even if some monsters and ghosts appear, it is nothing to worry about. They are just giving away crystal cores. The real big monsters are still sealed in the seal. But According to what the official said, it won't be long before they break through the seal and reappear in the world."
"So we have to work harder!" Song Yu said softly.
…
…
Dawn Pavilion.
Song Yu came back with the painting in his arms.
Seeing Jiang Yong, he smiled and said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Your Majesty has time today and can see you."
"Really?" Jiang Yong couldn't help but show a bit of excitement in his old eyes.
The greatest scholar in the Northern Qi Dynasty?
Ah!
It’s not that you can be respected as a great Confucian just by reading a lot of books or knowing a lot of knowledge.
You are also only thinking about your own family. You are no different from ordinary people like me. You are still a ordinary person who sacrifices his granddaughter to gain wealth. Bah!
You really don't deserve the word "great scholar"!
"Let's go now, I'll accompany the old gentleman." Song Yu said lightly.
Jiang Yong seemed to feel that Song Yu's attitude had become a little cold at this moment. He was a smart man and naturally knew the reason for this change.
He sighed lightly, but there was no explanation.
The location is different, the situation is different, and the angle of thinking about the problem is naturally different.
When he was young, he was also filled with indignation when faced with this kind of thing, and scorned the so-called marriage.
But now he is the head of a family with thousands of members!
Does he dare to bet?
Should you sacrifice one person to bring happiness to thousands, or sacrifice thousands to make one person happy?
This kind of question that tests human nature always only has a position and no right answer.
The entire journey was silent.
Song Yu soon brought Jiang Yong to the palace.
See again the official family who just separated not long ago.
But at this moment, the official had already put on his winged hat and dark red robe without patterns, sitting there with grace.
Jiang Yong was received in a side hall filled with ice cubes.
He waved away the palace maids who were fanning the ice cubes, and stopped Song Yu who also wanted to go out: "You stay."
Song Yu was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He found a seat not far away and sat down.
Jiang Yong was strict and strictly followed court etiquette when giving gifts to officials.
To give up one's seat, to decline, to give one's seat again, to sit down.
"I wonder why the old gentleman wants to see me?" The official asked with a smile as he picked up the tea cup and motioned Jiang Yong to drink tea.
Although he was a little embarrassed in front of Song Yu, Jiang Yong continued to talk.
From the origins of the two countries, to the hatred between the two countries, and then to the interests of the two countries.
In the final analysis, I just hope that Zhao State can send troops to help Northern Qi temporarily overcome the current difficulties.
"If Qi falls, Xiliao will not be satisfied and will continue to march eastward sooner or later. On that day, Your Majesty will regret it too late!"
The old gentleman's mouth was dry as he spoke, and he changed several cups of tea, but the official remained unconvinced.
In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Before departure, the emperor told me that his majesty must have resented what the emperor of Qi did in his heart, and specifically reminded that in this mission...the group of people sent by the emperor , Your Majesty does not need to pay attention, our emperor does not support this matter."
The official smiled, but still had no expression.
Jiang Yong sighed: "In addition, for the sake of the eternal friendship between the two countries, I would like to present Jiang Tongjin, Princess Shuirou of Qi State, to Your Majesty. This daughter is the granddaughter of the old man. The special envoy of Song Dynasty... has also seen her. She is both talented and beautiful, and has a good character. , piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, music and poetry are all excellent..."
Just when he said this, the official who had always remained silent before suddenly smiled and said: "So, it is very suitable for my imperial envoy. The old gentleman has already seen how capable my imperial envoy is. In terms of talent, he is regarded as a role model by countless scholars. !”
Jiang Yong was immediately a little dumbfounded, thinking that just because you are an unreliable imperial envoy, how come you, the king of this country... are also so unreliable!
At this time, I heard the official say: "Just kidding with the old gentleman, I will send out these soldiers! I will also accept your granddaughter, otherwise you will not feel at ease. But you are not following me. I am old and don't want to delay it." Young people have a great time, I am not a lustful devil like Qi Kun!"
"Old sir, you must have heard of me, Li Chaoen, Privy Councilor of the State of Zhao. As your granddaughter, please let him adopt you as your adopted daughter. In the future, you will find a suitable husband for her, and she will always have a good home."
Jiang Yong's face turned red. The so-called king humiliated his ministers and died. In front of him, Zhao Guan, a mere emperor, dared to scold his father's father... Really... Forget it, just scold him.
He looked at the official: "Zhao Guo...is really willing to send troops to fight against Liao?"
As long as Zhao Guo is willing to send troops!
As for Jiang Tong...well, being adopted as an adopted daughter by a hero like Li Chaoen did not insult her, and he even took advantage of his age to some extent.
The official looked at him with a calm expression and said calmly: "That's natural. Even if I am the son-emperor in your eyes, my words are just words of wisdom!"
Don't be in a hurry when reading the story. Don't rush to fall out with me as soon as you hear that the government has agreed to send troops. I'm timid and scared~
If it's okay, please give me a few compliments, encourage me, and don't make blind criticisms.
