Wang Shai almost lost his life last time because of Li Jinglong and his father.
How dare he accept Li Jinglong's things?
Let alone Li Jinglong, I will not accept any money from anyone outside.
As a person close to the emperor and the most powerful eunuch in charge of the Forbidden City, Wang Sha deeply understood who gave him all his power.
People who give him money, people who give him any benefits, do not give him these things because of his shameful behavior, but because of his identity and his master.
~~
Li Jinglong greeted all ten generations of Wang Shai's ancestors in his heart. Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was still looking at the ruby, he spoke tremblingly.
"I...I have no intention of making friends with the chamberlain! Your Majesty, you also know that last time, Manager Wang was because of the father and son..."
"So you want to make up for it with a gift, right?" Zhu Yunxi flicked the ruby out like a glass ball. The ruby rattled on the gold tile floor, making a harsh friction sound, and disappeared under the bookcase.
Then, Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong and said, "Pick it back!"
Li Jinglong quickly lay down under the bookcase, stretched out his hand to take out the ruby in it, and then raised his hands above his head.
But Zhu Yunxi didn't take it.
"You are also a person with meritorious service these years!" Zhu Yunxi sat cross-legged and said, "Your meritorious service is real. Blood and sweat are no worse than other people's meritorious service! If you are not a hereditary Duke, with these merits, you
Everyone can be promoted to a higher rank!"
Li Jinglong listened to the emperor speak slowly, and the panic in his heart subsided a lot.
"Why do you want to be a clown when you could be a pillar of the country?"
"Nie Chen, can I do this for the rest of my life?"
"A good man could have gone down in history, so why must he be so ignorant?"
Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Li Jinglong's eyes.
Not because he was ashamed, but because he knew that if the emperor spoke to him like this, then everything would be fine.
He didn't think about what the emperor said. When he was young, he also wanted to imitate his father, leading the army north to judge heroes based on their military exploits. But when he grew up, this world of arrogance told him that being an official was not that easy.
Heroes should die early!
Moreover, once a hero is given this reputation, he will never be able to get it again in this life. Anyone who wants to do something that goes well will be drowned in spittle.
"My lord, I have let down the hard work of the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor!" I thought so in my heart, but I wanted to say this with my mouth.
Zhu Yunxi continued to look at him, suddenly smiled, and said helplessly, "Get up, I know these words, you can just drop your paws and forget them!"
"I will never forget the emperor's painstaking efforts!" Li Jinglong said loudly, "Actually, I know, that is, I, the emperor is willing to say more words because of his love. If it were anyone else, you, the emperor, would never say this.
many!"
"It's good that you know!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and sighed, "You, you, Li Jinglong, are the ruby !" As he said, he took the ruby in his hand again, and then flicked it out again like a pinball, watching
It disappeared into the corner again, "But you have to remember, you are a gem or something else. When I use you, you are a treasure. When I don't use you, no matter how precious you are, you will never see the light of day!"
"I understand!" Li Jinglong said, hurriedly went to the corner again, turned over, picked up the ruby, and held it up with both hands.
Zhu Yunxi took it in his hand and weighed it a few times. "You have made great contributions to Luzon this time! Your title has come to an end and there is no reward."
"It is only natural for me to serve the emperor! This is my blessing." Li Jinglong said immediately.
"But you have to reward it. Take two kilograms of Pu'er tea from Yunnan when you leave the palace." After saying that, Zhu Yunxi paused and said, "I will not send you, Governor of Luzon, but in the future, it will be directly under the control of the vassal court.
Management, you have to pay more attention!”
Finally, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Li Jinglong said, "I obey your decree!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhu Yunxi continued, "You must also know that King Jin has passed away. Therefore, the marriage between your son and Princess Jin will be delayed for a while!"
"Also, you should also know that the old man has been in poor health recently. If you are eloquent, you should come to the palace more often to see him and make him happy!"
Li Jinglong's face was immediately filled with deep sorrow, "Why did King Jin...how did he, the Supreme Emperor, suffer so much when he got old?" As he said this, he dropped two drops.
Tears, "A man with white hair is sending a man with black hair. The most painful thing in the world has happened to the old man again! I heard that the Supreme Emperor is critically ill, and I almost lost my heart and gallbladder and couldn't stand still."
Seeing him crying, Zhu Yunxi turned the ruby in his hand and said, "By the way, you have just returned to Beijing and entered the palace. Who told you these things?"
"My lord..." Li Jinglong was speechless.
However, Zhu Yunxi seemed to have asked and did not need to answer. He still looked at Ruby, "Remember what happened today and reflect on it when you go back. There is also the matter of immigrating to Luzon. Since you want to take the lead, what are your thoughts in court?"
You have to say it, you know?"
"I dare not neglect you!"
"Hey! The quality of this gem is really good!" Zhu Yunxi brought the ruby to his eyes, "Where did it come from?"
Li Jinglong immediately laughed and said, "I got it in Luzon. In fact, I am not an ordinary lively person. The better ones are packed in a box alone, and then they go to Beijing with the fleet to present to the emperor!"
Zhu Yunxi continued to look at the ruby, "How did you get it? Did you steal it?"
"I am the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, how could I do that kind of thing!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I exchanged it for porcelain!" He said with a smile, "They are all porcelain from Guangzhou, not the blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen!"
"How many sets did it cost?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Li Jinglong smiled and whispered, "Half a set of wine vessels can be exchanged for such a gem!"
"Although I didn't reward you with anything, you must have done a lot during this trip to Luzon!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, then put the ruby aside and sighed slightly.
Li Jinglong saw this and said hurriedly, "Is the Emperor worried?"
Zhu Yunxi pulled a memorial and slapped it twice, "Shaanxi's memorial, it didn't rain in the beginning of spring, and there is a drought this year, so the autumn harvest may be difficult." He said, and added, "There are so many guards officers and soldiers waiting for the autumn harvest to support their families.
And the people who have been waiting for it for a year, hey!"
"How dare you!" Li Jinglong bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, you just said that I am the most useless person. I usually use these gold and jade things to please people's hearts and gain good popularity, but I have not benefited the country at all. I listened.
Very ashamed!"
"This time there is a disaster in Shaanxi, and the guard station is short of food, and the imperial court is unable to send people to provide relief. I am useless, but I have a small amount of money. I am willing to donate to help there and solve the urgent need!"
"I'm not fighting the autumn wind with you!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Keep your little money for yourself!"
He said, waving his hand, "Go to the old man's place to say hello, I'm sleepy for a while!"
"yes!"
Seeing Zhu Yunxi lying on the soft couch, Li Jinglong slowly exited with his back on his back.
When he turned around, he saw Wang Shai standing outside.
"Manager Wang, the emperor said that he needs to squint for a while!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I'm going to the Yong'an Palace, the Supreme Emperor's place now!"
"My lord, walk slowly!"
Both of them were smiling and looked very affectionate.
They look like good brothers.
