Twenty-one, under the warm jade for thousands of years
Twenty-one, Ten Thousand Years Warm Jade (Part 2)
"General Zhu, the emperor has ordered that you don't need to announce your arrival. I'll just let you in directly. Please!" A eunuch guarding the door outside the royal study said respectfully. At the same time, he glanced at Qi Zhengzhong, wondering in his heart.
The emperor actually knew that General Zhu had brought people here, and told him that there was no need to inform or stop him.
Zhu Zhenyun didn't say anything after hearing this. He just nodded to him and led Qi Zhengzhong in. Entering the imperial study, what greeted him was an invisible force that had existed for many years, including tolerance, majesty, and rage.
Anyone who enters this place can feel a kind of surrender from the bottom of their hearts. Coupled with its unique layout, it firmly encircles this momentum that has been honed by emperors for thousands of years.
Among them, the more you hoard, the richer you become.
"Zhenyun, you are here. This must be Mr. Qi, the young master of our Fengxian Kingdom!" Nearly ten years have passed, and Emperor Renwu's body has not deteriorated much, and his speech is still in the same tone.
He was full of anger. At this moment, he didn't have the airs of an emperor at all. He stood up before pressing the button and walked quickly to Qi Zhengzhong and Zhu Zhenyun and said cordially. However, the temperament he had cultivated since he was a child was still displayed without reservation, and he was not angry.
Power, this is also the training of being the emperor of the empire for many years.
"Exactly, I wonder if the emperor has anything to do with me?" Qi Zhengzhong did not point out that an ordinary emperor could do something good for him. He just wanted to pay him a heavy courtesy and protect his country, so he said calmly first.
Emperor Renwu was not surprised by Qi Zhengzhong's plainness. After all, Qi Zhengzhong was a monk and usually aloof. Even if he was an emperor, he would not be able to see him easily. He must have come to the palace to see him today because of Zhu Zhenyun.
Because of Xu Zhengzhong's face, he didn't think so. However, Zhu Zhenyun next to him was a little panicked, so he gently pulled Qi Zhengzhong to signal Qi Zhengzhong not to do this.
Qi Zheng Center already regarded Zhu Zhenyun and his wife as relatives, so his demeanor was slightly restrained. Emperor Renwu naturally saw it and said quickly: "I...I heard from Guangxian Chief that Mr. Qi is now a member of the Immortal Center."
He has a bright future and I admire him very much in my heart, so I prepared a small gift to congratulate you on your success in cultivating Taoism!" After saying this, he shouted towards the door: "Come here, bring up the gift!"
Outside the door, a eunuch held a tray and walked in respectfully. As he entered, Qi Zhengzhong felt that the tray was exuding a relatively strong spiritual energy. He thought it was not an ordinary thing.
"Mr. Qi, please take a look at this little gift. I don't know if it is enough for you!" Emperor Renwu personally unveiled the red scarf covering the plate.
On the tray was a piece of crystal-clear, fist-sized and extremely transparent jade. In addition, it exuded spiritual energy. Although Qi Zhengzhong had never seen any top-quality jade, he could be sure that the jade inside was absolutely perfect.
It is the best of the best. I can't help but think of the Nine Nihan Fruit that is far away between Wenluan Kingdom and Daqi Kingdom and the ten-year agreement. It would be great if this jade is made into a box, but...
"This gift is not light. I will not receive it for no merit, so thank you!" Although Qi Zhengzhong fell in love with this piece of beautiful jade, he would not sell himself for a mere piece of top-quality jade.
things.
"Mr. Qi, why do you say this? I think that ten years ago, Mr. Qiu Jiansheng was killed with his sword. He chased the enemy for thousands of miles and killed nearly 700,000 enemies. What a great achievement it was. A piece of warm jade that lasted ten thousand years is really not enough to express Mr.
What a great achievement!" Emperor Renwu said quickly.
"The emperor's statement is different. At that time, I only thought that people from Zixu Kingdom killed Minglan, so I was so angry that I caused such a monstrous murder. It was not for Fengxian Kingdom!" Qi Zhengzhong pointed out without hesitation.
What he did was not for the sake of Fengxian Kingdom, and it completely blocked Emperor Renwu's attempt to use that battle to get closer.
However, Emperor Renwu has been on the throne for decades after all. How can a person who has been on a personal relationship with a courtier for decades be deterred by Qi Zhengzhong’s words? So even though he heard what Qi Zhengzhong said
, but he was not anxious at all, and instead continued: "Mr. Qi is righteous, no matter what, our Fengxian Kingdom has benefited from this!" At the same time, he secretly gave Zhu Zhenyun a wink.
Emperor Renwu had treated Zhu Zhenyun like a brother and sister for decades, and their friendship was not the same, so Zhu Zhenyun naturally knew with one look that Emperor Renwu couldn't stand it anymore and hoped that he could help him. After all, Qi Zhengzhong was considered half of his son-in-law.
.
"Good nephew, the emperor is also a wise king who rewards meritorious service. Originally, the emperor asked me to give it to you, but I advised the emperor to give it to you directly, because if you didn't take action in that battle, my old man would probably
It's buried there. So, I think you should accept it!" Zhu Zhenyun entangled him with friendship as soon as he came up, and he called Qi Zhengzhong "nephew". Whether he refused or not, he agreed and brought trouble out of thin air.
When Qi Zhengzhong was hesitating, he thought of the Jiunihan fruit again. Several years had passed and he hadn't picked it yet. He didn't know if it was still there. In the past, he didn't have the time or the right jade, but now it's a top-quality piece.
The jade was placed in front of him. He only had to nod his head and grasp the principle issues in the future. Why not do it? It would also give Zhu Zhenyun some face.
The looseness on Qi Zhengzhong's face naturally could not escape the observation of Emperor Renwu, so he hurriedly beat the snake and followed the stick and said: "If Mr. Qi feels that it is in vain, you might as well temporarily appoint me as the national master of Fengxian Kingdom. This is
Treat all the jade as bride price, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
Qi Zhengzhong originally had the intention of relenting, but when Emperor Wu said this again, he quickly shook his head and joked, becoming a national master is really equivalent to selling it to you. I have to kneel down when I see you, and I will do it even if you fight.
Help, this is a taboo.
Seeing Qi Zhengzhong shaking his head, Emperor Renwu also regretted it a little. He was too impatient and quickly said: "Mr. Qi, don't get me wrong. This position of national master is just a false name. I don't know what you usually do."
Those who interfere, such as some common things, naturally don’t dare to disturb you, but you can enjoy the same treatment as an emperor in our Fengxian Kingdom!”
Emperor Renwu was desperate to retain Qi Zhengzhong, because he had another reason that he didn't mention, and that was Ji Dao Yuan. The foundation for the founding of Fengxian Kingdom was in Ji Dao Yuan. He was afraid that one day Ji Dao Yuan would happen.
After the decline, his Fengxian Kingdom no longer exists, so now he can pull up as many big trees as he can. This is because all the countries that were destroyed in the past have lost their backing, so Brother Renwu has to
Think more about your descendants.
Naturally, all this cannot be known to outsiders. He just does his best and obeys destiny. He knows that monks have a habit of collecting things, so when he heard that Guanghui valued Qi Zhengzhong's retreat, he took it seriously. It can make a monk
Is the person he likes really an ordinary person? With this intention in mind, he sent people everywhere to mine the best jade. Finally, Huangtian paid off and he dug up a piece. Today Guanghui said it all
Zhengzhong was overcoming the tribulation, and he admired his foresight even more. This Qi Zhengzhong was indeed extraordinary. He was actually a Taoist, so he gave the top-quality jade he dug to Qi Zhengzhong.
At this time, Zhu Zhenyun was also thinking in his mind. If Qi Zhengzhong really became the national preceptor of Fengxian Kingdom, although he nominally did not care about the affairs of the country, no one would ignore his existence, his identity as a Taoist, and
His daughter, from now on the glory of the Zhu family will all depend on them. So he pulled Qi Zhengzhong again and urged Qi Zhengzhong to accept it quickly with his eyes.
Seeing Zhu Zhenyun winking, for whatever reason, Qi Zhengzhong didn't know what to say. If it weren't for the fact that he had developed a lot of feelings for them over the years, he really wanted to turn around and leave, but now, he still does
This kind of thing doesn't happen.
"Your Majesty, it's okay if you want me to be the national advisor, but I have four conditions. If you can agree, it doesn't matter if I become the imperial advisor of Fengxian Kingdom." Qi Zhengzhong wanted to achieve his purpose of refusing by embarrassing the emperor.
