However, the play still has to be done, otherwise, if King Jin gets his wish easily, he will become suspicious. He is suspicious by nature and does not trust people easily, but now that the limelight is in full swing, his vigilance will be reduced, and he will believe it as long as the play is in place.
He went back to the East Palace to discuss with Lingxiu, and asked Lingxiu to adapt to the situation. He should look like he was in embarrassment, but also look like he wanted to go to the Ministry of War.
But Lingxiu could only make a confused look. He didn't understand, how could he look like he was in a dilemma and wanted to do something at the same time? It's okay to ask him to dance with swords and guns, but it's difficult to ask him to act.
He's not that good at deception.
Nangong Yitian frowned. He originally thought that the most difficult part of the matter had been solved. As long as the spiritual response was reasonable, he could hide it from King Jin.
But he forgot that spiritual practice is a straight-tempered person, and he cannot do anything fake unless he lies.
"In this case, you try it first." Nangong Yitian felt that it was necessary to teach him to tell the first lie in his life, "I am the King of Jin, and I extend an olive branch to you and let you serve as the Minister of War. You must first make a decision You looked surprised, but then you felt embarrassed, worried that I wouldn't let you go, etc. Come on, give it a try."
Lingxiu said: "You must imitate him first and ask your subordinates, otherwise they will not be able to take over."
Nangong Yitian asked him to sit down first, with a smile on his face, very much like King Jin, "Lingxiu, I heard that you and Ape have decided to get married, congratulations."
"Thank you!" Lingxiu said coldly. This was his usual reaction to King Jin. No matter what King Jin said, he was always expressionless, so it was not difficult to do.
"Since you want to start a family, you must establish a career. I know that you are the commander of the Qinglong Guard, but that is not a formal official position. I am also aware of your abilities and appreciate you very much. Now I am appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is the time of employment and there is still a vacancy in the Ministry of War. Why don't you come to the Ministry of War to serve the court and the army? I will not treat you badly. How about I grant you the position of Minister of War?"
Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a stiff face: "What virtue and ability am I? I can't afford it, I can't afford it."
Nangong Yitian looked at him and sighed, "Lingxiu, the Minister of Household Affairs is a fourth-grade official. You should show some respect and show a little surprise, and then change from surprise to difficulty. Hesitation, you have no expression on your face now." , not even a little surprised, as if he had known about it for a long time..."
"That subordinate has indeed known about this for a long time." Ling Xiu said sarcastically.
"I want you to pretend you don't know!" Nangong Yitian shook his head, "Let's do this. You act like you are surprised first."
Lingxiu bared his teeth and smiled at him.
It was Nangong Yitian's turn to be expressionless, "This is like a cooked pig's head, not a surprise."
"Isn't laughter just a surprise?" He rubbed his cheeks. In fact, he was not even good at smiling. He was a Qinglong secret guard, and his previous training was to keep his emotions and anger invisible.
Long-term training has already formed muscle memory. Except for marrying a wife, everything else should be expressionless.
"Your Highness, why don't you act surprised and hesitant to show it to your subordinates?"
Nangong Yitian stared at him, how stupid that was, he didn't care about the position of minister.
"Your Highness, try it? Why don't you ask your subordinates to learn from it?" Lingxiu looked at him eagerly.
Nangong Yitian paused for a while, then shouted loudly: "Wei Lin, Wei Lin, come here right away."
Lord Wei is good at deception.
However, after an hour of instruction, it was proved that Master Wei was good at deception, but not good at driving pigs up trees.
No matter how he taught him, the spiritual practice could not produce the desired effect of laughter. In the end, he laughed like a traitorous minister, but he could not laugh out the surprise.
Nangong Yitian was impatient, but seeing that he couldn't be surprised and embarrassed for no reason, he didn't want to vent his anger and simply went back to the house to accompany the princess.
