As an official, they naturally could not offend the emperor. Even if the emperor lost, they could not be so easily mentioned. However, when Zhao Jing said this, the situation was very different. It was the emperor himself who admitted his defeat, not his subjects who forced him to do so!
What Qi Yunshan hoped for was for Zhao Jing to give in. To extinguish the will to fight of an Emperor, to wear down the will of an Emperor! Since the Residence of Regent could make the emperor a puppet, then Qi Yunshan could also make the emperor his puppet. It all depended on the emperor's fighting spirit!
From this game of chess, it could be seen that the emperor had the will to fight, but the will to fight didn't last long. Obviously, all these years, under the "ravages" of the unknown in the East, the Emperor had become a warm, boiled frog, trapped in a cage, accustomed to it.
Habit, was truly a terrifying thing!
Slowly getting up, Qi Yunshan bowed, "I deserve to die!"
Zhao Jing angrily pushed the chessboard away, and with a flick of his sleeve, all of the chess pieces fell to the ground. "Those useless trash always give way to me. No one dares to win against me." But I don't like to be let go by others. I want to win with a good heart and lose with a good heart! Bullying the king! They deserve to die a thousand times for their crimes! "
Qi Yunshan maintained his bow. "Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Jing anxiously held up Qi Yunshan. "Shouldn't the Imperial Tutor often come to the palace to play chess with me?" I like to play chess, but those people in the palace are afraid of me. "I don't like this. I want to have a good fight!"
"As the honored tutor, this subject naturally has the responsibility to supervise the emperor." Qi Yunshan sighed softly, "But this old subject is old, I'm afraid my strength isn't enough. I hope the emperor can forgive this old subject's incompetence!"
Zhao Jing stared blankly at him for a long time. "Where did this come from?" "The honored tutor is growing stronger and stronger. He has almost killed me to the point where I have no way to fight back. How can he be half-hearted and half-hearted?"
Qi Yunshan found it difficult to reply, "I'm not afraid of the emperor's mockery. It's difficult to end family affairs when I'm in charge of official affairs." He deliberately paused. "I presume the Emperor isn't interested in listening. Forget it, it's fine if you don't want to say it!"
"What are the difficulties? "Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help!" Zhao Jing was like a good student as he wholeheartedly wanted to leave Qi Yunshan to play chess with him. He wanted to curry favor with him.
When he saw Qi Yunshan sighing, Zhao Jing became anxious, "The Regent said that I am the Emperor. This world belongs to me, so I dare to do whatever I want. I can get whatever I want." If I can do it, I'll definitely make it up to you! "
Hearing this, Qi Yunshan bowed, "This old subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
"I only have one son and one daughter. The eldest son, Qi Rufeng, has long been married. The family has many wives and concubines, but …" I don't know if it is because our Qi Family committed some evil, but our family was unable to add more women to it! "
At this point, Zhao Jing already understood the hidden meaning behind Qi Yunshan's words. However, he still had to feign a regretful expression as he looked at Qi Yunshan. He felt sympathy for him, as if he felt sympathy for the old man at home. He had a helpless expression on his face.
"That's enough. Who knew that this old subject's daughter, the empress of the emperor, would be in such a situation?" After entering the palace for two years, I was still unable to give birth to a child and a daughter for the Emperor. This old subject has failed the previous emperor, failed the Grand Xia Empire, and failed the Zhao Dynasty! " Qi Yunshan dropped to his knees and kowtowed towards Zhao Jing. "This old official is worthy of the emperor!" This old official deserves to die! "
Zhao Jing seemed to be frightened. He blinked his eyes and looked flustered and helpless. "You, you better get up quickly. You're acting like this …" I don't know what to do with you! No need to be like this old man, I have never blamed you! As for the matter of the Empress, I am used to playing around and rarely go to the wutong, so … No wonder the queen! "
"No, it is this old subject who has taught his daughter badly, and does not know how to serve the emperor!" It is this old official who has failed the late emperor, and has failed the emperor! "Today, the emperor will not forgive this old official. This old subject will kneel to the ground and die, but this old subject will never get up!" Qi Yunshan was truly emotional. Tears streamed down his face as he raised his head, his grief and self-blame reaching the extreme.
Zhao Jing couldn't help but sigh. This old ginger was truly ferocious!
"I promise you that from now on, I will definitely go to the Xi Wu Palace more often. I will definitely treat the empress well and try my best to cut off some leaves for the imperial family as soon as possible!" Zhao Jing finally helped Qi Yunshan up. "Old sir, don't worry. I'm still young, and I have plenty of royal heirs in the future!"
Qi Yunshan let out a long breath. "I've been dreaming about the late emperor these days, I'm afraid …" The late emperor blames the old subject for not being able to fulfill the late emperor's lonely duty. I am truly ashamed of myself! The Emperor does not blame this old subject, but this old subject cannot afford to do so. Even if I die in the future, I will not have the face to face with the previous Emperor! "
These words were said with deep gratitude. If it wasn't for Zhao Jing's clear mind, he would definitely have been moved! As soon as Qi Yunshan cried, he laid a trap for Zhao Jing, making Zhao Jing willingly submit to him. This was truly amazing!
"We will go to the Xi Wu Palace tonight!" Zhao Jing vowed solemnly, "I guarantee it!"
Tears streamed down Qi Yunshan's face as he bowed deeply, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Zhao Jing looked down from above at the grateful Qi Yunshan. In his heart, he understood that this old fox had already planned for this long ago! Although he had entered the palace happily, after entering the palace, he could not leave empty-handed! If Zhao Jing didn't give any face at all, Qi Yunshan was afraid …
Fortunately, Zhao Jing had given them some sweets, and had returned them with no shrewdness whatsoever.
In the eyes of Qi Yunshan, this twelve-year-old little emperor was as easy to deceive as a fool. As long as he could grasp onto the thoughts of the little emperor, he would be able to firmly grasp onto the little emperor in his palm, just like how he did before he arrived in the eastern part of the world.
As a result, the Qi family and the eastern region were on equal footing!
Very good!
After leaving the palace, Qi Yunshan heaved a sigh of relief, straightened his sleeves, and slowly got into the carriage. He was already staring at the palace. If the little emperor could keep his promise, then it would mean that the little emperor was really a fool!
If Zhao Jing didn't go to the Prefectural Palace, that meant the emperor couldn't be kept! Now that the emperor had made up his mind and understood how to take advantage of both sides, this meant that the emperor would definitely be a great man if he were to tolerate this. To the Zhao Dynasty, this was a good thing! It was a good thing for the people of the world!
However, to the Qi family, it was like nurturing a tiger!
As the wings of tigers grew, they would eradicate their enemies. The Qi family would become a thorn in the eye of the emperor, so... If the emperor could succeed, then the officials deserved to die! Fortunately, the current emperor was still a fool. Under the unenlightened teachings of the East, he was even more unaware of the struggles of power and authority. He only knew how to make inscriptions and calligraphy. He was clearly a bookworm!
Good, nerd, long life!
After Qi Yunshan left, Zhao Yuannan quickly entered, "Your majesty?"
Seeing Zhao Jing squatting on the ground to pick up the chess pieces, Zhao Yuannan hurriedly helped him pick them up. "Your servant saw that the Imperial Tutor's eyes were red. Did you guys get into an argument?"
Zhao Jing placed the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one. With an indifferent expression, he said, "It's not that there's a dispute, but it's that I purposely set him up to take advantage of me!"
Zhao Yuannan was aghast, "What? A trap? "This …"
"Tonight, I want to make a trip to the Xi Wu Palace." Saying this, she stared at Zhao Yuannan, "It would be for the best if Soo Ge comes back. If Sue hasn't come back... We can only cooperate with you! "
Hearing this, Zhao Yuannan tightened his grip on the chess piece in his hand. Every time this happened, he would always remember what happened to him in the prison.
Zhao Jing stood up with the chess box in his arms. "I don't want to go to the Xi Wu Palace either, but Qi Yunshan must have sent people to keep an eye on me, on the Qianyuan Palace!" What can I do? This step will have to go sooner or later, but I want to have meaning and value! And now, all of the value of the Resting Dart Palace was at the mere thought of Qi Yunshan! What he wants, I'll give it to him! What I want, he will give as well! If you have to give it up, then you must get something in return! "
"What does the Emperor want?" Zhao Yuannan asked.
Zhao Jing's expression was as heavy as twilight. "I want the mountains and rivers of Grand Xia to be in my hands, and the world of the Zhao Clan to be in my hands!"
Zhao Yuannan trembled and immediately kowtowed, "This servant vows to follow the Emperor to the death, and will definitely help the Emperor take back the River Mountain!"
Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "The drought in Jiangbei may be the spirit of my mother in heaven, giving me a choice!" "I must grasp this opportunity firmly. I don't know how long I'll have to wait if I miss it!"
Fortunately, Wei Shuge was back before the sun set.
Zhao Yuannan stood guard outside the door. Wei Shuge stared at Zhao Jing for a long time before tears suddenly began to fall.
Zhao Jing had never seen Wei Shuge cry before, so he was a bit stunned. "Elder Sister Shuge Shuge, what's wrong?" Who bullied you? "
"No one is bullying me." Wei Shuge wiped away her tears. "Does Your Majesty know why I took so long to return after leaving the palace?"
Zhao Jing shook his head.
"I went to my sister's grave!" As she said this, Wei Shuge's face was full of smiles, but her eyes began to rain. "I never told the emperor about these things. I just didn't want to recall those sad memories! If she's still alive, she should be the same age as the Emperor! "
Zhao Jing frowned as he looked at her. "Elder sister Shuge, why would you …"
"My father was a devil, but my mother was a righteous person. In the martial arts world, this was considered treason, not recognition and permission! How could people of the Devil Dao and righteous sects marry each other? Wasn't that the same as indulging the Devil Dao? Evil beings should be killed just like that! " Wei Shuge gritted her teeth. "When we met the emperor, if it wasn't for his majesty and Master Nan helping him, he probably would have been dismembered into a thousand pieces long ago!"
Zhao Jing's body trembled. "Bullying the elderly, women, and children. How can they be considered a righteous clan?" "It really is eating human flesh and reciting the good tricks of Amitabha!"
"My father and mother died in the hands of those people for the sake of my sister and me. "But in the end, she was still caught. My sister …" Wei Shuge's eyes were bloodshot. "Does the emperor know of a human drum?"
Zhao Jing was overwhelmed with shock. All the sounds were stuck in his throat, unable to come out again. Her eyes widened as she watched Wei Shuge pull out an exquisite hand drum from her sleeve. It was as big as her palm!
Wei Shuge's tears fell like rain, "This time, when I left the palace, I met the person who skinned my sister alive! I followed him home and skinned him alive in front of his entire family! "
Zhao Jing's face paled. "You …" Did you leave him alive? "
Wei Shuge gripped the small drum in her hand tightly. "After travelling in the martial arts world for so many years, there are some things that are not soft-hearted at all!" The day after tomorrow shall be the day of your death! "
Zhao Jing bit his lip. "Sister Shuge, I'll also tell you a secret!" She whispered into Wei Shuge's ear.
Wei Shuge listened quietly, her expression the same as before. She waited for Zhao Jingyan to finish. Then, she silently looked at Zhao Jing with a faint smile.
"Sister Shuge, you already knew, right?" Zhao Jing smiled warmly.
"Don't worry!" Wei Shuge hugged her tightly. "I will bury this matter in my stomach. Even if I were in front of her, I won't say it!"
