After sizing up the flattering six-tailed fox for a while, Jiang Beiran asked, "Are you full?"
"I'm full, I'm full. The amount given by the master is really perfect, no more, no less, just right, and the taste..."
"As long as you're full." Jiang Beiran nodded and turned around to leave.
I heard the six-tailed fox's words "Master, go slow" coming from behind.
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, thinking...
'It's interesting, but I don't know how long this little fox can last.'
Slowly returning to the Jingxin Hall, the maid who was cleaning the palace gate was so frightened that she almost stopped holding the broom when she saw the emperor. She quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty."
It's not that she is afraid of the emperor, but that the emperor has suddenly disappeared without a trace in recent days, which makes people like them feel very insecure.
As the saying goes, the scariest thing is not seeing a spider, but that the spider suddenly disappears.
A leader who suddenly appears behind you is far more intimidating than a leader who keeps staring at you.
All the way to the imperial study, the eunuchs and maids on the road were all frightened and knelt down, thankful that they were not lazy because of the emperor's absence.
"Welcome to the Holy Master~"
Hearing the shouts of the prince outside the door, Mu Yao, who was reading in the study, had a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
"Humph, you just ran out of the palace without making a sound. You don't look like an emperor."
Kong Qianqian, who was accompanying him, said strangely: "Didn't the Emperor take us out quietly when he paid a private visit incognito before? Senior sister, why didn't you say this at that time?"
After hearing this, Mu Yao couldn't help but glare at Kong Qianqian, suddenly smiled slightly, took out a piece of pine nut and lily cake from somewhere and stuffed it into Kong Qianqian's mouth.
As soon as Kong Qianqian instinctively took a bite, she saw the door of the imperial study room being pushed open.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Seeing the emperor's glance, Kong Qianqian first pointed at the pine nut and lily cake in her mouth, and then waved her hands, as if she wanted to explain something, but she was reluctant to spit out the delicious food in her mouth. It would be such a waste.
Jiang Beiran didn't say anything, and directly pointed to the outside with his eyes.
Glancing at the senior sister with resentment, Kong Qianqian went to get the board aggrievedly.
"See you, Your Majesty." After Kong Qianqian went out, Mu Yao saluted Jiang Beiran.
After taking a look at the "Shui Zhu Jing" held in Mu Yao's hand, Jiang Beiran said, "Are you reading this book again?"
Mu Yao glanced at Jiang Beiran in surprise, thinking that he usually pays attention to what books I read.
Mu Yao, who was a little excited in her heart, nodded and only replied with the word "hmm".
Sitting in front of the dragon case, Jiang Beiran took out a thin booklet from the Qiankun Ring and said: "You have performed well during this period. This is what I promised you in the beginning. Take it and read it."
When Mu Yao heard this, all the little pride in her heart was instantly thrown away, and she ran and jumped to the front of the Long Case.
"Is it the biography of Shangguan Wan'er?" Mu Yao asked happily.
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Yao saluted Jiang Beiran, picked up the thin booklet and said, "Your Majesty, why... are there so few?"
"This is the first volume. The rest will depend on your performance in the future."
"Yes... Thank you Your Majesty, I'll go and see it first." After Mu Yao said that, she retreated to her seat.
What Jiang Beiran said about Shangguan Wan'er was actually to deceive her. What he knew about Shangguan Wan'er was because he accidentally saw it when he was Baidu on how Shangguan Wan'er could fly. He discovered that there were more than just Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.
The queen, and the female prime minister Shangguan Wan'er.
However, this curiosity did not last long. After taking a brief look at Shangguan Wan'er's life story, Jiang Beiran continued to find out how Shangguan Wan'er could fly.
Therefore, this thin first volume was pieced together by extracting the contents from his memory and adding some of his own opinions.
As for what I promised...
'Isn't it normal that biographies have not been published?'
While Mu Yao was carefully reading Shangguan Wan'er's biography, there was a sudden knock on the door of the imperial study room.
"Enter."
With a "squeak", the wooden door was opened, Wang Shougui walked in with his head lowered and knelt on the ground and said: "I didn't know that the emperor was coming back, but I was late to welcome you. I deserve death."
"It doesn't matter, you have nothing to do with me."
"Your Majesty, the literati and craftsmen you named have been invited to the post house in Ningdu."
"I understand, please step back."
"I obey." Wang Shougui said and slowly exited the imperial study.
The literati and craftsmen Jiang Beiran invited this time were recommended by each of them when he replaced a new group of loyal ministers and good prime ministers. Many of these officials were originally officials from one parent, and they knew all the capable people within their jurisdiction.
.
No matter in which era, talents are always the most important. Before the promotion channels are not perfect enough, these talents are very valuable.
Jiang Beiran's plan was to recruit them all into the palace, inspect them for a period of time, see them with their own eyes (shai) and prove them (xuan) before releasing them outside.
After correcting the memorials all afternoon, it has become a lot harder to easily obtain attribute points by correcting the memorials because they have already gone through a big wave.
This is also the reason why Jiang Beiran no longer just stays in the palace, but wants to travel around.
Throwing aside another memorial with nothing new, Jiang Beiran glanced at Mu Yao, who was shaking her head next to her.
'Such a small amount of content... can she read it for so long?'
With such doubts, Jiang Beiran shouted: "Mu Yao."
Hearing the emperor's call, Mu Yao quickly stood up and walked over to salute: "Why did the emperor call me?"
"Come here." Jiang Beiran waved to Mu Yao.
Mu Yao blinked her eyes twice. Although she didn't understand what the emperor was going to do, she still took two steps forward.
But Jiang Beiran shook his head and waved again: "Come to me."
'Huh!!!!?'
Upon hearing this, Mu Yao's face turned red instantly.
'He, he, he... what does he want to do!? Why did he suddenly ask me to go next to him? He doesn't want to do anything to me!? Although I have a little, no, a little affection for him.
, but that doesn’t mean he can do anything random! What’s more, it’s broad daylight and he’s in the study, he, he, he...'
Just when Mu Yao was at a loss, Jiang Beiran frowned and said, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
At this moment, Mu Yao suddenly felt that Jiang Beiran after the Long Case was extremely domineering, and she was like a floating boat on the sea, unable to resist such a strong wind...
'No...it doesn't matter! Stand over and stand over. He is just in the Qi training realm. If he really dares to touch me, I will...I will slap him hard! Well! Hardly!
'
"call……"
With a long sigh of relief, Mu Yao walked up to Jiang Beiran hand and foot, her expression extremely nervous.
"Sit down." Jiang Beiran moved a small round stool and placed it beside him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat." Mu Yao sat down on the small round stool anxiously, lowering her head, her head already turned into a mess.
Just when her whole body was about to shrink into a ball, she suddenly saw the emperor's hand reaching towards her.
For a moment, Mu Yao's mind went blank, but she did nothing, just closed her eyes tightly.
"Mu Yao, Mu Yao? What are you doing with your eyes closed?"
After a while, Jiang Beiran's words came to Mu Yao's ears.
Mu Yao, who was already extremely shy, couldn't bear it anymore. She suddenly opened her eyes and shouted: "You..."
But just when she was about to strike out with her palm, she found that Jiang Beiran was looking at her with an inexplicable expression, and there was an opened memorial spread out on the long desk.
Mu Yao, who instantly understood what was going on, wanted to dig a hole and crawl in. She lowered her head suddenly without daring to say a word.
"Don't you want to be the Prime Minister? I'll give you a chance."
Hearing this, Mu Yao suddenly raised her head, looked at Jiang Beiran in surprise and asked, "What opportunity is this!?"
"You should approve the remaining memorials and submit them to me after you have approved them."
"I...I'll correct it?" Mu Yao pointed at herself in astonishment.
"Yeah, but remember, I'm just giving you a chance. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I...I will definitely criticize it carefully!"
Seeing Mu Yao's grateful look, Jiang Beiran nodded with satisfaction.
Since you can no longer get any attribute points from correcting memorials, finding a tool person to help is naturally the best choice.
What's more, the system didn't pop up any options for this matter, so he was even more relieved.
Under Mu Yao's grateful eyes, Jiang Beiran slowly walked out of the imperial study room.
Outside the door, Deng Xianghan and other maids were already waiting there. They knew that Jiang Beiran didn't like to be disturbed when he was correcting memorials, so they didn't go in.
Waving his hands towards them, Jiang Beiran said: "You all go do your things, I will go for a walk by myself."
"According to the decree."
All the maids and eunuchs bowed and then left, except Deng Xianghan who was still standing there.
After taking a look at Deng Xianghan's determined expression, Jiang Beiran seemed to understand something and waved to her: "Come with me."
"According to the decree."
After walking all the way to the Imperial Garden, Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan and said, "Are you ready to tell the story about Liang Guo?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Deng Xianghan said a blessing.
"Well, tell me, I'm listening."
Taking a deep breath, Deng Xianghan slowly said: "My father once told me that everything he did was to protect himself. After all, my father is far less wise and resourceful than your Majesty. He is just an ordinary person."
As a man, caught between the devil's religion and the righteous, my father lived a physically and mentally exhausted life every day."
"In the beginning, my father thought that he could find peace as long as he did his duty, but there were too many unsatisfactory things that bothered him every day, and he was helpless in everything he did. Not to mention fighting against the sect like your majesty.
Even the officials could not completely control my father.
"Father knows that if he continues like this, he will never be able to reach the target set by the leader Yin, and his life will be in danger at any time."
"Under such circumstances, a cultivator from the Liang Kingdom found his father and told his father that the Liang Kingdom could give him what he wanted, as long as he did something for the Liang Kingdom."
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran turned to look at Deng Xianghan and said, "You know very well about this matter. Are you involved in the whole process?"
Deng Xianghan shook his head: "No, my father told me one night."
"Just you?"
"And my emperor...oh no, oh no, he is my slave's brother."
"What is his purpose in telling you this? Does he want you to help him make suggestions?"
Deng Xianghan nodded, "Yes, my father has this intention. In addition, my father is also very worried that if one day he is suddenly absent, the palace will be in chaos, so I hope that my slave and brother can come out to take charge of the overall situation."
"Well, go on, what does Liang Guo want him to do?"
"Liang Guo provided his father with a large number of spiritual stones, high-quality elixirs, weapons, etc. There was only one thing he wanted his father to do, and that was to drive a wedge between the decent sect and the demonic sect so that they could attack each other."
"Relying on the large amount of spiritual stones and materials provided by the Liang Kingdom, my father quickly attracted a group of sects and demon sects who were dissatisfied with the Moon Covering Sect and the Linglong Sect, and together they began to discuss plans."
After that, Deng Xianghan told Jiang Beiran everything she knew. After listening to this, Jiang Beiran felt more and more that this emperor was really not simple.
Jiang Beiran originally thought that Deng Bo had found a good opportunity to take action against the Hidden Moon Sect.
But I didn't expect that from the grand birthday banquet and the Young Heroes Meeting for Guan Shi'an, to the later intrusion of the demon sect, Deng Bo's shadow was found in everything.
There were so many young people involved in these major events that even Jiang Beiran couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.
In addition, Deng Bo had prepared far more backup plans than Jiang Beiran imagined. If he had not been "resurrected from the dead" that day, not only would there have been two or five young men planted in the Demon Sect who would continue to provoke, but there would also have been high-level officials in the decent sect.
A series of responses and a series of plans would definitely be enough to cause the good and the evil to continue to fight to the death.
"Do you remember the names of those who participated in the plan?"
Deng Xianghan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Yes, I remember."
After listening to this, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and asked: "Why don't you tell Master Yin these names? This may very well bring your family back to freedom. After all, you know that in the eyes of cultivators, you are just ants.
"
Deng Xianghan nodded and replied: "As your Majesty said, if this slave directly tells Master Yin these things, it is indeed possible that the slave and his family will be able to get peace. But your Majesty also said that it is only possible. I dare not bet.
This slave will hand over the last trump card, and then whether Master Yin will kill the slave and his family will all depend on his mood."
"So...you chose to place your bet with me?" Jiang Beiran looked directly at Deng Xianghan and asked.
After hearing this, Deng Xianghan knelt down and kowtowed: "After spending time with Your Majesty, I know very well that Your Majesty has great supernatural powers. If Your Majesty can save my family, I will be willing to work as an ox and horse for Your Majesty for the rest of my life. I also ask the Emperor to take pity on me."
!”
"Get up."
After hearing Jiang Beiran's order, Deng Xianghan immediately stood up.
"Being like a cow or a horse? Do you have the strength?" Jiang Beiran said with a smile.
Deng Xianghan shook his head, "I don't have this...but I can let the emperor ride like an ox or a horse..."
