Zeng Ke, who had always kept a straight face, had a smile on his face for the first time and ran quickly to the imperial study room.
Because he has a first-hand "top secret" information that he has just unearthed and needs to report it to His Majesty.
And this information is related to a person...
A person who gave him a headache even before!
Therefore, when this person's shocking secret was discovered, he was very happy to report it personally.
Thinking about Zeng Ke, he is now nearly fifty years old. He has worked conscientiously in the Black Jin Division for more than thirty years. What kind of villain has he not seen? What kind of traitor has he not punished?
But it was only when he faced a little girl of fifteen or sixteen that he felt frustration for the first time.
To this day, every time this guy opens his mouth, he feels like his brain hurts.
But there is nothing he can do against the other party!
After all, he is really talented and hard-working, and he is not greedy or corrupt. Although he is as slippery as a loach, he is as hard as a piece of iron.
He has been manipulated by the opponent countless times, but he has no means to fight back.
So today, when his secret agent reported the "scandal" about her to him, for the first time in more than 30 years in the industry, he beamed with joy for the first time!
Holding up the information, he burst out laughing, making everyone below him look stupid.
He even felt so happy that he "abused his power" for the first time and promoted this secret agent to two levels.
So, when he opened the door to the imperial study room with a smile on his face, Emperor Xuansi was also shocked...
"Zeng Ke... you... can still smile!??" Emperor Xuan Si looked at the almost distorted smile on Zeng Ke's face and felt a little uncomfortable...
"I...are you smiling?" Zeng Ke didn't even notice it himself. Ever since he got the secret report, the smile on his face hadn't stopped.
But none of this matters!
The important thing is this information!!
Zeng Ke gently closed the door, bowed high, and handed Emperor Xuansi a scroll of paper.
He didn't dare to recite it to himself, for fear that he would laugh out loud and disturb the Holy Master.
Emperor Xuansi received the secret report with a puzzled look and lowered his head to read it.
Emperor Xuansi stared at these few lines for a long time before slowly raising his head and letting out a long sigh...
"No wonder... Wen Shuo is not satisfied with it, and the Crown Princess doesn't want to do it... I should have thought of it a long time ago..."
Zeng Ke secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Xuan Si's expression...
I was a little disappointed for a moment...
I finally managed to get some "dirty information", but His Majesty only had this reaction.
well……
"Then your Majesty... what do you think I should do next? Should I stop her from going south? Or prepare a generous gift?" Zeng Ke asked softly.
Emperor Xuansi threw the secret scroll into the brazier and said in a deep voice: "I won't stop you, and I won't be polite! Just pretend you don't know anything!"
When Zeng Ke heard the words, he was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't dare to inquire about the holy meaning, so he had to lower his head and say nothing.
Emperor Xuansi looked at the confused expression on Zeng Ke's face, smiled slightly, rolled up his robe sleeves, pointed to a place aside and said: "Sit down, sit down and I will tell you slowly. I will give you a few more instructions by the way."
Hearing this, Zeng Ke handed over his hands to thank him, walked to the other side of the Luohan table, and sat upright, half of his butt hanging outside, no different from Zamabu...
Emperor Xuansi looked at his serious look and smiled. This old boy is still so rigid after so many years.
Then he raised his sleeves, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zeng Ke himself. Zeng Ke quickly thanked him with sincerity, his hand holding the cup trembling slightly.
Emperor Xuansi, who put down the teapot, also spoke at this time.
"Zeng Ke...you have known me for thirty years, right?"
Zeng Ke hurriedly raised his hands and replied: "When I first met your Majesty, Your Majesty was still in the posture of a hidden dragon. It has been thirty-two years now..."
Emperor Xuansi smiled and nodded, and continued: "It is said that once the emperor has his ministers, you know why I have almost changed the court, except for the most important position of Heijinsi, which is still reserved.
You?"
Hearing this, Zeng Ke shook his head slightly. Although this problem had indeed troubled him for many years, he did not dare to open his mouth to test it.
"Because you are Li Chaoran's direct descendant! And because... I... am a lonely person..." After Emperor Xuan Si finished speaking, he looked up at Zeng Ke's expression. As he expected, he was confused after hearing this.
Confused face.
Emperor Xuansi sighed lightly and said slowly: "When I was young, I was very envious of the late emperor for having a friend like Li Chaoran, because this throne brings not only supreme power, but also,
Endless loneliness...and countless enemies...so I! I also want to have a friend...otherwise, wouldn't it be too desolate to fight alone?"
After Emperor Xuan Si finished speaking, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zeng Ke with a kind smile like looking at an old friend for many years.
Zeng Ke, however, did not dare to look at Emperor Xuansi, but lowered his head, his eye circles slightly red.
There are only six characters left in my mind!
A scholar dies for a confidant!
Emperor Xuansi looked at Zeng Ke's expression and knew that he understood. He smiled happily and continued: "And Qihua... In fact, he can be regarded as an old friend of mine... You two are not only
My right-hand men are all my friends, at least in my heart, that's how it is..."
When Zeng Ke heard this, he nodded lightly, stood up slowly, bowed to Emperor Xuansi, and said loudly: "I... know what to do... go back now and take the guards around Duke Ding."
Replace the troops and add more good people from the department to protect Duke Ding as he goes south!"
Emperor Xuansi's smile became even brighter, and he nodded repeatedly: "Well... go ahead!"
Zeng Ke backed away and strode quickly towards Hei Jinsi.
If you want to be qualified to be the emperor's friend, you must at least be smart enough.
After all, no emperor wants to be surrounded by a group of fools, unless he himself is also a fool...
After Zeng Ke left, Emperor Xuansi was alone, holding tea, looking out the window, and meditating for a long time.
As if he had made a decision, he put the tea cup on the table, turned to the little Zhezi and said: "Go and call that girl Wang Wenmiao..."
Xiao Zhezi bowed in response and retreated...
After a long time, little Zhezi ran back in a hurry, bowed to Emperor Xuansi and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Jiahui has arrived..."
Emperor Xuansi was already sitting at his desk, reviewing memorials, and said without raising his head: "Let her come in."
Little Zhezi stepped back, and then, a delicate woman walked in slowly, came to the royal table, knelt down on the ground, but did not say a word.
Emperor Xuansi said nothing and continued to criticize his memorial, leaving her kneeling.
Although the girl looked delicate, she was very stubborn. She knelt on the ground and remained silent.
After all, it was my father who relented first, threw away the memorial in his hand, and said, "Get up."
The girl stood up slowly, her legs were numb and she could barely stand still.
"Hurry up and move a stool for her!" Emperor Xuansi had an angry look on his face and scolded his subordinates on the surface. In fact, it was not difficult to see that he still felt sorry for his daughter.
A young eunuch hurriedly sent a stool, and the girl nodded slightly to Emperor Xuansi and sat down.
"It's been almost a year...you still refuse to talk to your father..." Emperor Xuansi looked at Wen Miao and sighed...and continued: "Princess and maid...royal majesty! Harem punishment laws! No matter it is
Publicly or privately, she will definitely die...! I..."
Halfway through Emperor Xuan Si's words, the girl had already tilted her head to one side, her eye circles were slightly red... but she was holding back her tears without shedding a single drop.
Emperor Xuan Si narrowed his eyes slightly... as if he had made up his final mind, and said coldly: "That's it! I have found a marriage for you... I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow. If you are satisfied, the matter will be considered settled.
"
At this moment, the girl's eyes flashed with panic, and she turned to stare at her father. Tears instantly burst into her eyes...but she still didn't say a word.
Emperor Xuansi looked at her like that and felt angry. He raised his hand and picked up a memorial. While reviewing it, he said: "The other party... is also a girl... and is about the same age as you!"
The girl's eyes suddenly widened... She couldn't believe that her father would arrange this...
"The person is dead... I can't help you save him, but I can do whatever you want, and it's my best as a father..."
"who?"
Although Emperor Xuansi was interrupted by his daughter mid-sentence, he was not angry, but looked surprised...
This is the only thing this girl has said to herself in the past year, or rather, one word...
Emperor Xuansi smiled bitterly. Sure enough, the daughter-in-law was not allowed to stay, and she would become a enemy if she stayed. In the past year, he had spent so much time and effort, but in the end, it was not as valuable as a "tacit consent"...
"Dong Guo..." Emperor Xuansi said slowly while smiling bitterly...
