Zhao Hongjin looked at Shao Xi with a look of great admiration, as if he was looking at a treasure that he had been looking for for a long time, and as if he had finally met the person he had dreamed of in the vast sea of people.
"I have been holding back for so many years, actually because I didn't have the guts to take this step. At the beginning, North Korea, China, Han Zeng and Fu Zuoliang checked each other, which could be regarded as a balance. Although I have always wanted to take back power, I didn't have the courage. To break this balance. Now your appearance has given me great encouragement, allowing me to have the courage to take this step, but I am not sure what will happen next. I really hope you can stay in the Nanzhao Gang. I, the two of us will become permanent friends, just ask me if you want to be an official, even if it is to be the Prime Minister!"
When Shao Xi hears this, pull him down quickly! If it weren't for the purpose of finding out his life experience and avenging his adoptive father's family, I wouldn't even want to be an official in the Jingyuan Dynasty, let alone an official in the small country of Southern Zhao.
"I say, little emperor, you must understand your status clearly. You are the king of a country and you must control everything in your own hands. You cannot always rely on others to help you. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone. Everyone wants to sit in the emperor's seat, but not everyone can sit in it. Since you have already sat in this seat, you must find a way to make yourself worthy of this seat. Otherwise, no matter how many people help you, you will still sit. Unstable. Work hard, boy!"
Zhao Hongjin looked a little lonely. The happiest time for him since he was a child was when his father was alive. He and his younger sister would often gather around his father in the imperial garden and act coquettishly. At that time, there were no intrigues or power struggles in his world, only Father's love and sister's dependence.
But such days only lasted a few years. After his father passed away, he sat on the throne. In the eyes of others, this something he wished for was very painful for Zhao Hongjin. Facing those ministers with evil intentions every day, I have to pretend to be a wise and wise minister, and say some insincere words. The most difficult thing is to be wary of them every day. If one is accidentally thrown away, it will not only be The throne was his life and his sister's life, so he had lived in fear and trepidation over the years.
As an emperor, he certainly knows the importance of power, but he has never been able to fully control power.
Now that Shao Xi appeared, he saw the hope of taking the imperial power into his own hands. Although he knew that everything Shao Xi did was only for the benefit of Jing Yuanguo, Shao Xi was the first person in these years who was really willing to help him get it. Return the power to the people.
He would rather regard Shao Xi as a friend than regard Shao Xi as a minister of another country.
"I know that we are destined not to be true friends, but since I was a child, apart from my sister, I have never had anyone I can talk to about my true feelings. Although you are a minister of Jingyuan Kingdom and I am the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, but I still hope to be friends with you, even if it’s just for a day. No matter what the purpose is for you to help me, I want to believe that you are sincerely helping me. Since you have helped me, then you are mine Friend. I know that you made such a complicated plan not only to help me take back the power from those two powerful ministers, but more importantly, to find out who in your own court is rebellious, so I still give this secret letter back to you. If you are in trouble in Jingyuan Kingdom one day and come to me, I will keep you safe no matter what."
Maybe it's because of their similar age, or maybe it's Shao Xi's unique personality charm? In short, Zhao Hongjin does regard Shao Xi as her friend, which is a very awkward thing for Shao Xi.
Just like what Lao Wu said at the beginning, people treat you as a friend, but you use their kindness as a tool for your own use.
His plan was obviously to bring down the court of Southern Zhao, but Zhao Hongjin didn't think in that direction at all. He simply thought that Shao Xi was trying to find out the rebels in Jingyuan's country.
This is the difference between emotion and rationality. Emotional people often see each other as good people, while rational people know that there are no good people in the world, including themselves.
Shao Xi took the secret letter from Zhao Hongjin and put it in his arms. He didn't know how to reply to Zhao Hongjin's words.
In his eyes, Zhao Hongjin was the emperor of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and he was a minister of the Jing Yuan Kingdom. They should each safeguard their own interests. However, at this time, Zhao Hongjin intertwined his own interests with his. This made Shao Xi I feel very uncomfortable.
He is not afraid of scheming with others, digging holes in each other, and stumbling upon each other, but he is most afraid of this kind of heart-wrenching sincerity, which will make him feel guilty and make him feel like a despicable and shameless villain who betrays his friends.
But I never thought about being friends with him at all, right? Why do you feel like you did something wrong now?
"That... little emperor, we can be considered friends, but our friendship is quite special. Public is public, private is private! In short, everything I do must give priority to Jing Yuanguo's interests, so on weekdays You still have to be wary of me and don't trust me too much, but aside from the interests of our family and country, we can still become very good friends. This is all I can do. If I really have a deep relationship with you, what will happen to me? Didn’t he also become a traitor?”
Zhao Hongjin understood what Shao Xi meant and could only nod with a wry smile.
People say that it is very painful for men and women to want something but not get it, but for Zhao Hongjin, it is equally painful for Zhao Hongjin to want something but not get it.
They obviously cherish each other, but they can't get too close due to their identities, otherwise they would be betraying their own countries. This sounds ridiculous, but it is also a realistic helplessness.
"Okay! Let's not talk about friends for now. Now that your plan has progressed to this point, after you return to Jingyuan Kingdom in the future, how should we get in touch with each other if there is anything?"
Shao Xi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Zhao Hongjin: "Write a letter! I think you should know how to deal with Han Zeng after I leave. When we need to contact each other, I should be the one who is there. Jingyuan Chaozhong has already got the evidence of Han Zeng's crime and needs to hand it over to you so that you can use it to convict Han Zeng. Therefore, the first letter must be sent by me. I will send my personal boss The servant is here to do this. With his physical skills, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the palace and hand the letter to you secretly. When the time comes, you can give him the reply letter and he can bring it back to me."
"Okay, that's it. I hope to receive your letter soon. Today's affairs are quite troublesome, so you'd better not stay here too long, so as not to arouse others' suspicion. Before leaving, go to the Pearl Palace. Come on! That girl Hong Mian has been talking about you since I returned to the palace yesterday. Since you agreed to her conditions, if you don't fulfill them, she will not give up and will continue to make trouble. "
Shao Xi sighed. He really had a headache with this unruly Princess Haizhu.
It's not that this girl is so annoying, it just makes Shao Xi feel that sometimes he can't communicate with her normally. Things that can be solved in a few words, she insists on making a big fuss with you first.
Maybe it's because her father passed away a little early and her brother is busy with political affairs every day, so she used this method to attract her brother's attention. But you can just find your own brother to increase your presence. What's the deal with me? What's going on?
After leaving the imperial study, Shao Xi was led by the eunuch to the Pearl Palace. As soon as he walked outside the door of Cailuan Palace, he heard Zhao Hongmian's scolding coming from the palace, and the person being scolded was himself.
"Shao Xi, you turtle bastard! You lied to me yesterday and ran away, and now you don't even show your head. You are such a shrinking turtle that you don't keep your words. You promised to teach me body movements, but now you don't know where you are going to die. Don't let this princess see you again, otherwise I will peel off your turtle shell and make soup for you. You untrustworthy bastard, I curse you for choking on drinking water, choking on eating, and falling out of bed at night. If you fall, if you don’t come to see me, I will keep cursing you. Come here! Go and tie a little scarecrow for me, write his name on it, and I will beat him hard with my shoe every day. He’s a villain who doesn’t keep his words.”
Shao Xi stood outside the door and started sweating. Isn't this too vicious? Isn't it because you didn't return to the palace with the little emperor yesterday? I didn’t even say that I couldn’t do it! Why did she become so angry in just one day? In just such a moment, she almost cursed herself for the most unlucky thing in the world. Is there something wrong with this little girl's mind?
When Shao Xi had a headache, the palace maid had already informed Zhao Hongmian about Shao Xi's visit to the Pearl Palace. Before the palace maid could come out, a bench flew out of the door. If Shao Xi hadn't been able to hide quickly, his nose would have been blown away. He had to have a close contact with the bench, but when he dodged, the bench hit a rockery in the courtyard and was instantly smashed to pieces.
Shao Xi patted his chest and was glad that he had escaped. This girl was simply a crazy woman.
But just as Shao Xi was rejoicing, another bench flew out from inside. Shao Xi thought to himself, "There's something wrong with you, right?" Even if your Nanzhao Palace family has a great business, doesn’t the bench not cost money? Besides, how can you, a little girl, be so powerful in your movies? Throw one after another!
"Hey! I said you are done with it. If I don't come, you will scold me. If I come, you will throw a bench at me. Will you let me in? If you don't welcome me, I will turn around and leave immediately. She is quite beautiful. Why is the little girl so naughty? I’m here to teach you body skills today, do you want to learn it? If not, I’ll leave now!”
After saying that, Shao Xi turned around and walked out of the Pearl Palace. Who could bear this little ancestor? Just hide as far as you can!
"Stop! Do I allow you to leave? Let me give you a few blows to vent your anger."
I'll fuck you! Are you still coming?
