Chapter Twelve Difficulties in the Middle Way of the Imperial Study Room
"emperor"
Zhengyao suddenly heard a cry in his mind and looked at Jiajing dumbfounded as if completely stunned. He even forgot to kneel down and salute.
Jiajing also looked at Zhengyao with a puzzled look on his face, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth from time to time. This made Zhengyao sit on pins and needles, as if he was holding back his urine and couldn't let it out for a long time.
"Li Zhengyao, Li Zhengyao?"
Seeing Zhengyao still dumbfounded on the spot, Jiajing was very puzzled, so he shouted again
Xiao Xi kept winking at Zhengyao from the side. Finally, it took ten seconds after Jiajing finished speaking before Zhengyao came back to his senses and immediately knelt down and shouted: "Zhengyao has seen
Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
Zhengyao suddenly kneeled down in an exaggerated manner, which was really uncharacteristic. You must know that when he met Jiajing before, Zhengyao always seemed more casual and not too formal. But today's behavior made Jiajing a little uncomfortable.
"Li... Li Zhengyao, you... if you get up quickly, you still... haven't answered yet. What happened to you just now?"
Jiajing said doubtfully, obviously he was not used to Zhengyao being too casual and too reserved at the same time, and he even seemed to have trouble speaking.
Zhengyao couldn't help but scream in his heart: Damn you barbarian, you can kill me this time
Who knew that this was really the emperor and not the one Ning An pretended to be? Zheng Yao was too smart this time
"Back...back to the emperor, just now Zhengyao thought...that the princess was pretending to be you, so..."
Zhengyao also started to stutter. After all, he was facing the emperor, and he did mean to offend just now. If he was convicted of this crime, he would be done with it.
"So you can talk to the princess and walk around the royal study at will?"
Before Zhengyao could finish what he said, Jiajing immediately took over the words, but his tone was stiff and serious, implying blame.
After all, just now Zhengyao spoke and moved around at will without his permission. This was really disrespectful to him and offended the Holy Emperor. If the circumstances were serious, he should be killed. This was not meant to scare anyone. So, Jiajing had something wrong with him.
It is reasonable to say that
But hearing what Jiajing said, is this okay? Zhengyao raised his head, looked at Jiajing and said loudly: "It is said that he who does not know is not guilty. Zhengyao really did not know that the person sitting here was the emperor, so he did not mean to offend Longwei. Your Majesty
You can't punish me."
Crazy, crazy. In Xiao Xi's opinion, Zhengyao is crazy. Most people would shout for mercy if they offend Long Wei or disturb the Holy Master. However, Zhengyao not only did not beg for mercy, but bluntly said that the emperor would not punish him.
, if this is not crazy, then it must be from the mountains, and has no idea what the consequences of offending the emperor will be.
If Ning An were present, he might have scolded Zheng Yao as a "die idiot" many times in secret.
"Ha ha ha ha"
As soon as Zhengyao finished speaking, he stood aside confidently, looking as if he was ready to die. However, he saw Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly burst into laughter, making Xiao Xi on the side also look puzzled.
"Well, Li Zhengyao, you are indeed different. Do you know that although what you said just now is reasonable, offending Long Wei means offending Long Wei. If an ordinary person encounters him, he will definitely kneel down, cry, make trouble and beg for mercy.
If you want me to be merciful and pardon you, instead of kneeling down to beg for mercy, you confidently tell me that those who don’t know are not guilty, hahaha, hahahaha, it’s really interesting.”
Jiajing laughed while talking, as if he thought this so-called fun was really fun, and he looked like he was enjoying it
Zhengyao doesn't care what you do. He can't put aside the word "reason" in everything, so he still said neither humble nor arrogant: "The emperor is wise and powerful, so he will naturally understand everything clearly. Zhengyao did not intend to offend, and naturally he will not be guilty. If he is guilty, it can only prove that the emperor is guilty."
He is not Mingjun, and this is extremely inconsistent with the facts, so Zhengyao believes that the emperor will not care about what just happened."
Zhengyao just circled and circled Jiajing around, wearing a tall hat, coaxing him to enjoy it. Zhengyao also had reason to believe that Jiajing would never care about anything. After all, the emperor likes to hear good things, and the emperor likes to be treated well.
Respected by all the people, the emperor likes to deceive himself and others...
Another point is that although Xiaoxi came to send a message because Ning'an was looking for her, when she came here she found that it was Jiajing. Zhengyao could easily think that it was Jiajing who wanted to see him, but it was not the time to summon him in person at the moment. After all, Yan Song
there
They have many eyes and ears, and they don’t want Zhengyao to reveal his identity prematurely and affect the overall situation. In the name of Ning’an, it will naturally not arouse suspicion. On the contrary, it will make people think it is natural. Jia will think that Zhengyao wants to have something with the princess.
Appears to be upright, immoral and incompetent
Therefore, since Jiajing wants to see him, there must be something to discuss. After weighing the pros and cons, I believe Jiajing will not take the little thing just now to heart.
"Hahaha, yes Li Zhengyao, you are indeed brave and resourceful. I like you very much." Jiajing laughed again. From his facial expressions and words, it was not difficult to see that he admired Zhengyao very much.
Zhengyao smiled easily. It seemed that everything was fine as he expected. However, when the word "like" came out of Jiajing's mouth, Zhengyao couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his chrysanthemum.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliments."
"Okay, I don't want to say anything else. Let's talk about the main topic, Xiao Xi, go and close the doors and windows." Jiajing's expression suddenly changed, and then he informed Xiao Xi next to him to close the doors and windows of the imperial study room.
Xiao Xi responded and then walked away
Seeing Jiajing's sudden change of expression, Zhengyao could imagine that things might be a bit tricky, so he also said with a serious face: "I wonder why the emperor called Zhengyao here. Is there anything difficult that needs to be dealt with?"
Now Jiajing has treated Zhengyao as his only confidant. After all, Zhengyao was introduced by Ning'an. He has reason to believe in Ning'an's vision. Needless to say, Yan Song may start to blackmail the emperor with orders one day.
Since he is a prince, Jiajing will naturally not believe everything he says.
As for Prince Jing... Although the two are brothers, there is still a layer of separation in Jiajing's heart. He must know that if Prince Jing was not young and far away from Beijing, he would not know the throne of the emperor today.
Whose is it? So on the surface Jiajing is confused, but in fact he sees it more clearly than anyone else.
, this is why Yan Song opposed King Jing, and Jiajing did not oppose it too much. The most Yan Song could do was to use the emperor to order the princes. As long as the jade seal was in his own hands, he would not dare to make too many mistakes. However, King Jing was different.
If they rebel in the future, under the banner of restoring the royal family's orthodoxy, the result will be different...
As for Xu Jie, Gu Ruzhi and others, they are now close to Prince Jing. Obviously Jiajing does not want them to be exposed to too many things.
The so-called foresight and foresight cannot be mentioned in Jiajing, but there is still a bit of sophistication and calculation.
Of course Zhengyao didn't know that Jiajing had thought so much in his mind, but he knew that Jiajing really trusted him now, which cannot be denied.
At this time, Jiajing nodded, then picked up the document in his hand, stood up, walked towards Zhengyao, and said as he walked: "This book is the credential "Three Prefectures Iron" that Annan paid tribute ten years ago.
"Coupon", it was originally kept in the royal study room, but who would have thought... Well, it's all my fault that I was confused at the time, which caused the book to be missing a few pages, and the result was..."
The so-called blockbuster is probably like this. Unexpectedly, Jiajing actually said that he was confused, and it seemed that the missing pages were related to him. Zhengyao couldn't help but be shocked.
Previously at the Shuzhou Guild Hall, Zhengyao, Zhang Cheng and Liu Yan were still discussing why the book was suddenly missing a few pages. For this reason, the three of them didn't know how to explain it to the emperor, so they made random guesses about the intentions of the Annan envoy to come to the Ming Dynasty, and they were delusional.
I found some ways to solve this urgent need, but now I hear Jiajing admit that he is related to this matter. Doesn't that mean that all his thoughts and discussions are in vain?
Zhengyao was half speechless, looked at Jiajing helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty, please tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"
Jiajing continued to take two steps forward, and then handed the "Three Prefectures Iron Coupon" in his hand to Zhengyao, motioning for him to take a look, and then shook his head helplessly and said: "It's all my fault that I was dedicated to seeking the Tao. Ten years ago Annan envoy
They sent their credentials "Three Kingdoms"
When I was reading "Mansion Iron Coupon", I accidentally turned to one of the pages and found that the content inside was similar to "Shui Jing Zhu", "Qianjin Prescription" and other secret recipes for cultivating immortality, so I ordered to make an elixir.
Teacher, please tear down these articles.
Firstly, I didn’t want others to see the content. Secondly, I wanted to tear it down for easy research. Who knew that during the process of refining the medicine, an explosion occurred and the alchemist died as a result. Naturally, no one knew about the contents of the torn-out articles. I thought this was the case.
Nothing will happen
After that, I stopped asking and simply threw the book aside. Unexpectedly, the Annan envoy suddenly visited me some time ago and said that he wanted to make a copy and take it back. However, I really don't know what to do.
What should we do..."
Jiajing said a series of words sincerely, but there was a lot of regret and helplessness in his words, but the matter has come to this, no amount of regret can make up for it. After listening to it, Zhengyao understood the whole story, but the problem
He also followed. Since Jiajing was looking for him, he must have thought that he could solve the matter, but how should Zhengyao solve it?
Zhengyao looked at the thick "Three Prefectures Iron Coupons" in his hand. He didn't say anything for a long time. He just stared at the "Three Prefectures Iron Coupons".
Since the windows and doors were closed and airtight, after Jiajing remained silent, a state of silence suddenly appeared in the imperial study. Looking at Zhengyao's serious look, Jiajing did not want to be disturbed, and walked slowly, and then
Walked back to his seat
And just when Jiajing was about to sit down, Zhengyao suddenly raised his head, looked at Jiajing, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have a solution" (to be continued)
