"Master Jiang, you have become a saint. It may not be impossible for you to overcome the calamity and become an immortal one day."

Mei Qingchen did not hide it, but said it directly with a smile: "Although you are an official now, you have not yet ascended to the court."

"Your Majesty has rarely dealt with state affairs since a hundred years ago. When he occasionally goes to court, he usually sits behind the curtain. But in fact, your Majesty is actually a rare sage king in our country except the sage ancestor human emperor."

"With the sun and moon in hand, the universe is in control, and the world is stable. But now..."

Mei Qingchen shook his head: "It's okay not to say it, but at least not to reward meritorious service is definitely not His Majesty's style today."

"A single victory over Yu is actually enough to make you a marquis and ascend the Golden Tower."

"But His Majesty has not given you a reward for a long time. Even if you are given the post of court minister, His Majesty only said that you would stay temporarily. Do you know why Your Majesty is like this?"

Jiang Zhou smiled nonchalantly and said: "Your Majesty naturally has a sacred heart and has his own considerations. What are my small achievements? Even though I am valued by Your Majesty, maybe Your Majesty sees that I am young and wants to sharpen me?"

Although he doesn't care about fame and fame, he also has his own judgment about the old emperor.

But he won't say it so easily.

Things in officialdom naturally have to be done in an official manner.

Mei Qingchen rolled his eyes, obviously not believing his lies.

But there was nothing he could do if Jiang Zhou didn't pick up the fight.

He had no choice but to join in and said: "Actually, His Majesty still loves Mr. Jiang very much. If he had allowed you to ascend to a high position early, you would have become more and more closely entangled with Daji's national destiny."

"Although the prince is respected, he is more closely related to the fate of the country."

"Your Majesty is protecting you, and at the same time, he is waiting for you to make a decision. Should you be a loyal and good person to my country, or should you become an immortal and an ancestor?"

"Master Mei, what you said is wrong,"

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "All the immortals in the world belong to Ji. We are all human beings. We are born as human beings. Who is not a citizen of Ji?"

A hint of disappointment seemed to flash in Mei Qingchen's eyes.

He didn't know whether it was because Jiang Zhou's answer didn't satisfy him, or because he didn't see what Jiang Zhou was thinking.

There was also a flash of strange color in Jiang Zhou's eyes.

If Mei Qingchen hadn't said these words to him or asked him this question, he wouldn't have thought about it yet.

Now, this old bureaucrat who is good at dancing does not seem to be that simple.

Sitting high on the golden tower, Emperor Mang seldom dealt with court affairs, but he was still able to bow his head to all parts of the world.

Even though there is chaos in the world now, almost no one from the official families of various states and counties dares to make any changes.

Even those turmoils may have been allowed by the old emperor intentionally, otherwise they may not have caused trouble.

From this, it can be seen that his control over the world is naturally beyond doubt.

What makes him so confident and so firmly in control of the world?

It is absolutely impossible to say that there are not countless loyal ministers at his command.

There are Fan Zhen, Xie Buyuan, Li Xuance and others in Nanzhou.

Even when the King of Chu came to the city with troops, some bureaucrats and family members who he usually looked down upon did not have the slightest intention of surrendering to the enemy and fought to the death.

Yangzhou is naturally no exception.

This Mei Qingchen is most likely one of Di Mang's confidants.

Now, are you here to test him on behalf of Di Mang?

I don’t know if it’s his own intention or Di Mang’s intention?

Mei Qingchen seemed to have given up on the temptation and said, "That's all, I have recorded what you said."

"Forging a sword is easy, but asking for His Majesty's imperial edict requires some trouble, but I should try my best."

really.

No matter what Jiang Zhou said, he asked him to show his imperial power and ask for a will.

But it was just a casual talk, and there was no expectation that a mere Sicheng could do such a thing.

But Mei Qingchen dared to agree to it, saying that Jiang Zhou, the most trusted confidant, didn't believe it.

"However, what I said before was not to deceive you."

Mei Qingchen continued: "It is difficult to find anything in the world that can withstand His Majesty's golden words and blessings of national destiny. I, the only one in the Sujing Division, has that fateful black bird."

"If the guillotine is made with the blood wave when forging it, it will be successful, but no one in the department has this ability and can kill this bird."

"If you insist on this will, you can only think of your own ideas."

Mei Qingchen paused and said: "How? If you have the ability to kill that black bird without being implicated in the cause and effect, I will give you the approval right now and let you be sentenced in the Sword Prison."

Jiang Zhou laughed dryly: "Well, wait a minute, wait a minute."

Although he is confident, he is not stubborn.

Not connected with cause and effect?

Are you kidding me?

If he has this ability, why don't he kill demons all over the world?

Why worry about backlash?

but……

It's not impossible.

His original body is not good, but he has a robe of merit and virtue when he transforms into the sea of ​​Dharma, and is immune to all dharma and all evil spirits.

Maybe it can resist the backlash of "Destiny".

But I'm not sure whether it will damage the cassock.

These three guillotines were just a whim of his, and they were not guaranteed to succeed.

Even without this will, the guillotine can still do the job, but without Di Mang's will, it ultimately lacks a deterrent.

Even so, there was no need for him to lose a treasured weapon of merit for this dispensable thing.

When Mei Qingchen heard what he said, even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment.

"Well, in that case, I won't force you, but if you change your mind at any time, you can come to me at any time."

"..."

Jiang Zhou's lips twitched slightly: "Mr. Mei seems to be more disappointed than me?"

"nonsense!"

Mei Qingchen categorically denied: "Master Jiang has made so many contributions to the Sujing Division. It is not easy for him to ask for something. I will definitely try my best to satisfy it."

Jiang Zhou: "Haha..."

I believe...you big-headed ghost!

"Thank you so much, Master Mei. I'll have a lot of work on the casting."

"I have my responsibilities, and I have to collect evidence of the Zhu family's crimes, so I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Zhou cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and left.

Mei Qingchen watched him disappear around the corner outside the door. After a while, he blew out a breath that raised his beard.

"This little fox..."

…

"Old fox!"

Jiang Zhou walked out of Sujing Division, looked back, and blurted out curses.

If Mei Qingchen hadn't intentionally "exposed himself" today, he would have been deceived.

I thought he was really just an old bureaucrat who was good at maneuvering.

Alas, as expected, these people in the officialdom are all scheming.

If he really dives in, I'm afraid he won't need to practice anymore.

However, with his back against a big tree to enjoy the shade, he was unwilling to leave it alone and just leave.

It seems that what was once a whim has now become necessary.

Jiang Zhou shook his head, smiled, and walked towards his home.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a familiar figure.

That singer in the Moon Tower, Wang Lan.

"Queen of the People's Republic of China, please pay homage to Mr. Jiang."

Wang Lan also saw him at this time. As soon as he saw him, he knelt down and bowed to him.

"What are you doing here?"
