Zhao Yuannan thought for a long time before saying, "Oh right, my surname is Ming. I think my name is something …" Ming Ge? That's right, it was Sir Ming Ge! However, he had heard that this person had appeared mysteriously. Very few people had actually seen him! Furthermore, in this Spring Breeze Extreme Park, everyone is extremely secretive. No one would dare to lightly mention him. "
"He's just the boss of Pear Garden. So what if his business is flourishing? It's not like Pear Garden is doing something shameful. Why would they be so mysterious? " Wei Shuge was puzzled. "Could it be that in this Spring Breeze Paradise, there is nothing that can't be exposed?" "Otherwise, how could he pretend to be mysterious? A merchant would actually act like he's being meticulous."
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Jing couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you think everyone is like you? Do you really think they can let you off the hook so easily?" Since the Spring Breeze Extreme Park was the capital's number one pear garden, it could not help but attract big trees and many enemies. Everyone has the instinct to protect themselves. The more mysterious they are, the less of a sense of crisis they will feel! " She let out a long breath, "This person knows his way around, he is definitely not an ordinary person. "If there is a chance, I truly want to have a good look!"
"All the knowledgeable people in the world, all the capable people, I'm afraid the Emperor wants to meet as well!" Zhao Yuannan couldn't help but laugh. "But the world is big, and there are too many capable people. Can the Emperor see them?"
"If you are able to win the hearts of the people in the world, you will be able to meet them even if you can't!" Zhao Jing faintly smiled, and a faint warmth spread out between his brows, as if a spring breeze had just passed by. She stood with her hands behind her back. Although she was a woman, she had the bearing of a man!
Zhao Yuannan stared at her, lost in thought.
Currently, the Residence of Regent and the Prime Minister were searching for Zhong Fu throughout the capital. From Zhao Jing's point of view, the more secure the capital was, the safer it would be. In this way, the murderer must not have dared to act rashly. Only the Regent's Estate and the Prime Minister's Estate could make a move. Even if they were not directed at the murderer, they would still be able to intimidate him! This move was truly excellent. It didn't cost Zhao Jing a single soldier. If he couldn't catch the culprit, then he would alert the enemy! Those who were already dead would not be able to come back to life, so he could only try his best to preserve their lives, so that no one could be killed!
The facts proved that this method was effective. Even after the end of the Autumn Exam, there were no more deaths. This made Zhao Jing feel rather gratified. After all, everyone who died could become her loyal subjects in the future! She thirsted for talent and desperately needed this fresh strength to strengthen herself. Her young wings thirsted for toughness, and she craved wings even more to soar into the sky.
Because it was Shi Zhonggu who presided over the Autumn Competition this time, many people found it difficult to put their hands into it. Even if they wanted to, they could only do some small things. When Emperor Xian was still alive, Shi Zhonggu was one of those people that refused to budge. The older he got, the more stubborn he became, and his temper was even more impressive. Whoever dared to make a move in the Autumn Trial, this old thing would most likely use the alcohol to scold him until smoke rose from his ancestors' graves!
During the last poetry contest, although Zhao Jing had left the Full Moon Mansion because of some matters, the names of the top three had appeared in Zhao Jing's hands every other day. If she remembered correctly, the person who had seized first place on that day should have been a man named Lu An Nian, followed by Huo Wugou.
Thinking up to this point, Zhao Jing raised his head and looked at Shi Zhonggu, who was standing in front of him. He smiled confidently, "Sir, are you here to deliver the good news to me?"
Shi Zhong Gu saluted. "This old subject really doesn't know how to respond to Your Majesty's words." This official came to deliver the news, but whether it was good news or bad news, the benevolent can see the light and see the wise. We have already chosen the top three tests for the entire night. As for the rest of the Hall Competition, it will all depend on your luck! "
Zhao Jing looked meaningfully at Shi Zhonggu and asked, "Does Lu Annian have any relationship with mister?"
"The Emperor's intelligence has increased to the point that he's able to guess the truth!" Shi Zhonggu did not deny it.
Zhao Jing chuckled. "That's not something I've guessed. I've long since gotten my hands on the essay from the poetry contest. Lu Annian's literary style is just like how it always was for Mister. His battling skills are simply the second mister." He looked extremely weak, but he was actually extremely stubborn to the extreme. If you are truly Teacher's disciple, then you can say that you are younger than blue and better than blue.
Shi Zhonggu nodded, a little embarrassed. "His Majesty's eyes are really poisonous. This Lu Ansheng is a good seedling." This humble subject's words were not empty words. Does Your Majesty know who Lu Ansheng's father is? "
"I don't know!" Zhao Jing shook his head.
Mentioning this, Shi Zhonggu's face showed some regret. "The late Emperor passed away more than two years ago. This humble subject has accompanied the Emperor for all these years, so it's fine if I tell the Emperor. Lu Annian's father had been under General Bai for a long time, and Bai Yunxiao had placed him in a very high position. He was Lu Ying, one of the three most powerful generals under his command. When it comes to this Lu Ying, I have no choice but to say a few more words. It was a pity that Bai Yunxiao had been set up as a traitor. He had implicated three generals, including the nine clans of the three generals, and had ended up in a miserable state! It is the entire Tiger Master who is going to die with me for this matter! "
"After the destruction of the tiger master, the Eastern clan rose to power, from the initial internal strife to the control of the military. At that time, there were rumors and rumors. The puppets below speculated that the Bai Clan was the doing of the Dongfang Clan, which was why Dongfang Wuzheng, the father of Dongfang Mingming, had made the family oath in front of the emperor. The people of the Eastern clan must not go against the rules … He had lost all of his descendants! Heaven destroys Earth! "
This was the first time she had heard of the Bai Clan case. "However, I have also seen quite a few files in Teacher's Wen Yuan Pavilion, and there doesn't seem to be any files regarding the Bai Clan's conspiracy!" Is it sealed in the Ministry of Justice? "
"After the Bai Clan's nine familial exterminated, this scroll was completely burnt to ashes!" Shi Zhonggu let out a long sigh, "What a pity. The Bai Clan is a family of heroes, and they are generals for generations. In the end …" He shook his head. "It's a pity that the three generals under Bai Yunhuan's command ended up in a worse state. At that time, this old official and a few ministers were suspicious of this case, but the Emperor insisted on doing so and resolved the matter quickly. "So there's nothing we can do about it. There's no trial and the case has been decided directly. We can only try to preserve this loyalty as much as possible!"
"After Lu Ying died, all the sons under his knees were killed. Only one of his concubines escaped and gave birth to Lu Ying's last son, who was also known as Lu An Nian. "In the end, he was taught by this humble subject to be the valiant general. When the late emperor was still alive, he didn't dare let him join the official position, but now it's you, the emperor …"
Although Shi Zhonggu was intelligent, the Emperor was still the Emperor. Even if he had wrongly killed Bai Yunluan, how could the Emperor possibly admit his mistake to the people of the world? Thus, even if the Emperor knew that he was wrong, when the descendants of the Bai Clan appeared again in front of him, for the sake of his dignity as an Emperor, he would only let this mistake continue and would definitely not let these people live.
However, Zhao Jing was just a puppet. She wanted to get out of this predicament, so she had to rely on these people. At the very least, right now, Zhao Jing needed to make a breakthrough. He needed to accumulate strength and wait for the day when he would be able to accumulate enough strength.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill him if you are so honest?" Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "You should have known that Eastern Illumination would be very happy to see such a scene!" "If I want to please him, this is a good opportunity!"
Shi Zhonggu coughed lightly, "That subject has no other choice. I can only hold this subject's crabapple pear and drink it to ease a thousand worries!"
"Wait!" Zhao Jing's eyes lit up. "Teacher, you're not that stingy. With such a good thing like the plum blossom, isn't it boring for a single person to enjoy it?" We can talk it over, we can drink it together. " Zhao Jing fawned over him and said, "Sir, why don't you let me try the eight, nine, and ten pots first? What do you think?"
Shi Zhonggu's eyes widened as he blew on his moustache and laughed coldly, "Does Your Majesty think that we're drinking water? Eight, nine, ten pots? This old official's total is just a few jars, no way! "No way!"
"Then three to five pots will do as well!" Zhao Jing curled his lips and took a step back.
Shi Zhonggu thought for a moment, then raised a finger, "That's all!"
Zhao Jing clenched his teeth and desperately held out his second finger. "Mister Mo, please don't be stingy. In the future, even if I get some good wine, I will give you half of it. We have come and gone, so let's exchange courtesies!"
"Alright!" Shi Zhonggu harrumphed twice, "Just two jars, bring it to the emperor tomorrow! "However …" He lowered his voice. "Your majesty should take it easy. If your father finds out, he'll skin you alive!"
"I don't dare to be picky, at most, the most I will complain till my ears hurt!" Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "But I'm used to this kind of thing. I've worn out my skin to the point where it's rough, so I'm not afraid of him!"
Shi Zhonggu laughed dryly. "The emperor says he's not afraid. When we meet tomorrow, the cat sees the mouse!" Forget it, this old subject shall go and settle this first. Tomorrow will be the Hall Competition, and the Emperor will be preparing for it. Fortunately, the top three ranks have met the Emperor before.
Zhao Jing did not forget to remind him, "Don't forget my crabapple and pear wine!"
"I know, I know!" Shi Zhonggu waved his hand impatiently and walked out with his body hunched. He paused for a moment, then turned back. "By the way, your majesty, is the Regent sick?"
Zhao Jing frowned. "I've never heard of it."
"I've heard that the Regent is sick, but I don't know if that's true or not. It's almost time for the Hall Competition to begin. For someone to suddenly appear, don't cause a ruckus! " Shi Zhonggu bowed, "This old official will take his leave!"
Zhao Jing nodded with a slightly gloomy expression. Was he sick in the East? Last time, his illness had made it known to everyone, so why was he so quiet this time? He still remembered two days ago when he left, it was full of vigor. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a sick man.
"Shuge!" Zhao Jing shouted.
Wei Shuge hurried in from outside. "Your majesty?"
"Dongfang Wenming is sick, why didn't he report it?" Zhao Jing said.
Wei Shuge was stunned for a moment before she smiled awkwardly. "But your majesty, that isn't considered an illness!"
Zhao Jing didn't understand. "Being sick means being sick. What do you mean not being sick?"
"Your majesty, is a pillow considered an illness?" Wei Shuge asked.
Zhao Yuannan snickered from the side, "Your majesty, the regent is just a pillow! They really aren't sick! "
A pillow?
The corners of Zhao Jing's mouth twitched. "A distinguished Regent can actually put his head down?" How long has he been in bed? It can't be that you've been lying in bed for a few days, right? "
"The last time I walked from here, this servant saw the Regent holding his neck. These two days, they have been covering even more tightly, and their necks are crooked wherever they go! " Wei Shuge had also sneaked a peek at Zhang Xuan and nearly burst into laughter at that moment.
"Are you saying that the last time he left my side, he …" Zhao Jing tilted his head. "So it's like this?"
"Yes sir!" Wei Shuge nodded.
Zhao Jing suddenly smiled …
