Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Four: The King and the Minister

The Donghun Pavilion is right in front of you. For many halls, it is really inconspicuous. However, Xu Qian could clearly feel that the garrison here is obviously stronger than other places. The eunuchs and palace maids of various clothes stood in the corridor outside, waiting for instructions at any time. The door of the Donghun Pavilion was open, and the Yousen was a bit mysterious. Xu Qian could actually feel an indescribable majesty from it.

Huang Jin had already stopped, looked at Xu Qian with a smile, and said, "What a strange thing, you are not nervous at all?"

Xu Qian said angrily: "Why are you nervous? What am I afraid of?"

Even though he said this in his heart, Xu Jieyuan was still a little weak. Not being nervous was a lie. Fortunately, he was good at lying, so he couldn't see anything.

Huang Jin was actually frightened by this guy and actually believed him. He could only smile bitterly and said, "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Our family has seen it. You can wait here, and we will come in and report it."

After Huang Jin entered the pavilion and reported it, he immediately came out to invite Xu Qian in. Xu Qian felt that his steps were a little heavy, and he walked into the East Warehouse step by step. He saw that the pavilion was empty. Only after the imperial case, a person who could not see his face was sitting solemnly. The man seemed to be looking at him. Xu Qian was a little curious and wanted to look up, but he thought that he had not bowed yet, so he said in a hurry: "Students have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Here, he was careful and acted like he was about to bow down. This was one of his experiences when he came to this era. Often when the emperor and the emperor wanted to give a big gift, he deliberately took a slow motion. The other party would not make things difficult for him. Most of the time he would say a word of waives, and Xu Qian would never be polite and immediately stopped the action of waives.

But he played back slowly, and he had tossed for more than ten seconds with just bent his knees. As a result, the other party had no intention of letting him flat, but instead looked at him with a smile. When Xu Qian looked at the man secretly, he clearly felt the teasing look on the other person's face.

Suddenly, Xu Qian seemed to have realized something. This young emperor who was sitting in danger seemed to be competing with him.

In an instant, Xu Qian changed his mind, suddenly smiled, his knees straightened again, and said, "Student thanked Your Majesty."

"Um..." Emperor Jiajing has been looking at this young man who is younger than him. He is shorter than himself, slender in shape, handsome in his eyes, and like himself, he has a kind of maturity that is inconsistent with his age. This maturity is hard to explain for a while, as if it is so sophisticated. Emperor Jiajing has experienced great ups and downs. As the emperor, he is used to intrigue and scheming, and it is common to be precocious. However, Xu Qian is just a scholar after all, and a scholar who is younger than him has the same temperament as him. This is a bit incredible.

The thoughts of Emperor Jiajing were naturally unpredictable. He was about to give Xu Qian a warning to see how Xu Qian responded. When he heard that Xu Qian did not bow down, he thanked His Majesty. His face was calm, and even a little anger was faintly revealed. He was curious and then slowly said: "Why did Xu Qing thank him?"

Xu Qian said seriously: "Although the student is in Hangzhou, I have heard that Your Majesty is wise and generous, and he treats scholars especially preferentially. Before the student meets him, he thought to himself that Your Majesty is so generous, and the first words the student said to Your Majesty should express his gratitude to the scholars all over the world."

This sentence is very flattering, and this guy is also very upset, and he directly brought out scholars all over the world. But on the other hand, it also made Jiajing shocked. He directly put a high hat on you and said, "How do you treat scholars preferentially? In front of you, you are a serious scholar, and you are the best scholars among scholars. In the prestigious Zhejiang Jieyuan, are you embarrassed to let him kneel down and salute?

Jiajing couldn't help laughing and could only say, "Come on, give Xu Qing a seat."

Xu Qian sighed: "Your Majesty is so kind."

You're so powerful!

Jiajing couldn't help but scold him. This guy seemed to be a loach and could not catch him no matter how hard he caught him. Jiajing was the dignified emperor and the heavy weight of national weapons in his hand, so he was a little helpless.

Huang Jin felt it was even more incredible. He saw a clue. Jiajing and Xu Qian seemed to be fighting scheming. While both sides were polite, they also competed with some points.

"The surname of Xu is really bold!" Huang Jin was shocked. He admired Xu Qian's courage and looked at Xu Qian even more impressed. This kid must have figured out the emperor's psychology and knew that doing so would not only not blame him, but would make His Majesty enjoy it. If he just acted as a kowtow worm, what does it mean to the emperor? There were enough kowtow worms in the Ming Dynasty, and there were millions. In addition to kowtow worms, there were even a group of guys named directly. Naturally, the emperor would not like these two kinds of people. Xu Qian's ease of nature, if it were Emperor Taizu, he would probably ask someone to chop this guy directly and feed the dog. Even if he met Emperor Xiaozong, he would not be too pleasing. However, it just so happened that Emperor Jiajing was a very smart person, but he developed a sense of mutual appreciation with him.

Xu Qian had already sat down steadily. In the confrontation just now, he obviously had some advantage, and the fear in his heart naturally dissipated without a trace. No matter what, as long as you are familiar with someone's way of dealing with him, you can gradually grasp the other person's thoughts and face this person, you will naturally be at ease. Even if this person is the emperor, Xu Qian is not afraid.

Jiajing's face was still smiling. He was still looking at Xu Qian curiously, then cheered up and said, "Xu Qing did a lot for me when she was in Hangzhou. Although you are young, you are extremely smart and wise. I haven't seen someone like you for a long time."

This sentence is a compliment, but Xu Qian felt that this guy must have dug a hole and waited for him to jump. Besides, the emperor said that you are extremely smart, which may not be a good thing. So Xu Qian hurriedly said: "How dare your student? Your Majesty inherits the ruling, clarifying bad policies in one fell swoop, and punishing treacherous and slanderous people. How can the wisdom and methods be compared with these small fussies of students? According to the students, Your Majesty deserves to be extremely smart."

Jiajing couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh? Is that true? Since that's the case, I want to ask who is smarter, me or Xu Qing."

Xu Qian was stunned for a moment. Jiajing was originally polite to him and praised him. He reciprocates and praised the emperor's wiseness. The so-called "going back and forth" and carrying a sedan chair with each other was originally the basic etiquette for people to get along with each other, but Jiajing was so good that there was another problem.

It's like a Landlord. Xu Qian and Jiajing are accomplices. Jiajing gave a three-piece and asked Xu Qian to pass a four-piece. Jiajing suppressed his opponent again. At this time, Xu Qian was counting on Jiajing to let him pass a small card. Unexpectedly, this guy threw out the king bomb directly. This guy was not playing cards, he was clearly here to make trouble.

The biggest problem is that if Xu Qian admits that Jiajing is extremely smart, then in Jiajing's heart, Xu Qian's score will be greatly reduced, because Jiajing is obviously tired of flattery. There are already thousands of people in the world who say something wise and extremely smart in front of him. If Xu Qian's answer is the same, although it is a normal rule, it will inevitably make Jiajing look down upon it.

But if Xu Qian wants to play cards without reason, it is very inappropriate. You dare to say that you are smarter than the emperor. You are so bold. Jiajing is the most slim person. Even if he doesn't have an attack today, when will he suddenly remember that a bastard dares to ride on his head and make trouble? Maybe if the order continues, Xu Qian will finish it.

Xu Qian took a deep breath and had a new understanding of Jiajing. No wonder this guy couldn't stand him in history. He tried to strangle him with a rope to fight for the risk of raiding his family. Xu Qian can now understand the mood of those palace maids, because if Xu Qian had a rope in his hand, as long as he lost a little of his self-control, he would want to strangle him to death.

After asking this question, Jiajing seemed contented. He thought he wanted to see Xu Qian make a fool of himself so that he could break back the game just now.

Xu Qian pondered for a moment, then said with a serious expression: "Can the student not answer?"

"What?" After finally creating such an opportunity, Jiajing naturally refused to let go and said, "Is Xu Qing hiding something from me?"

The word "hiding" is a concealment, and to put it seriously, it is a deception of the king. This is telling Xu Qian that no matter how you are, you have to say that you are ugly and Yin and Mao, so don't think of cheating.

Xu Qian sighed and said, "Students think that from the Three Emperors to the Majesty, Your Majesty's wisdom is the best among the emperors and emperors, and is the best."

Jiajing was stunned and chewing Xu Qian's words, suddenly feeling that Xu Qian was planning to leave again.

Xu Qian continued: "Although students are not talented, they are also somewhat talented. Compared with scholars today, they seem to be barely called the word "best". Therefore, students think that Your Majesty is extremely smart and the students are also extremely smart. Your Majesty is the best among emperors and the best among scholars."

Jiajing's face twitched, and he felt a sense of arrogance like a thorn in his throat. But I have to say that Xu Qian's answer was extremely wonderful. He flattered him and did not reduce his style, so that people could not find any handle at all.

But Jiajing is a person who is picky about the bones in the eggs. Although he admires Xu Qian's urgent wisdom to the extreme, he remained silent and said, "I am saying that I am comparing to you, not comparing to the kings of all dynasties. What I want you to answer is, who is better than you?"
