Chapter 357: The official meeting between Chu Jing and Emperor Zhengcang

Chapter 357

"Your Majesty, the two of them are here."

Today's study of the General's Mansion has become the emperor's exclusive meeting place, Zuo Yuanfeng took Chu Jing and Deng Si'er into the study and said to Emperor Zhengcang, who was writing.

Emperor Zhengcang didn't even raise his head, but said softly:

"Well, now that the war is imminent, the general may have a lot of affairs, so there is no need to wait in this study to waste time."

Zuo Yuanfeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Deng Si'er and Chu Jing in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but be a little worried:

"Your Majesty, it's just the two of them......"

Emperor Zhengcang straightened up when he heard this, looked at Zuo Yuanfeng and said with a smile:

"What is the general worried about?"

Zuo Yuanfeng saw that Emperor Zhengcang's tone was unquestionable, so he didn't say anything more and bowed and retired.

It wasn't until Zuo Yuanfeng walked out of the door of the study and closed the door that Deng Si'er asked suspiciously:

"Your Majesty, what is General Zuo worried about?"

Emperor Zhengcang heard the words but did not speak, only looked at Chu Jing lightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

Chu Jing didn't expect that the pampered emperor would have such thoughts when they first met, so he couldn't help but chuckle, and then stepped forward and saluted:

"I have no name in the lower area, and I have seen the emperor."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang put down the brush in his hand, and while caressing the knuckles of his fingers that were red from the brush, he squinted at Chu Jing's hand that was missing a ring finger, and asked:

"How did you break this finger?"

Chu Jing didn't expect that as soon as they met, Emperor Zhengcang actually stared at his finger first, but he immediately replied:

"Coincidentally, this ring finger was accidentally stabbed off by a sword when I was fighting with others."

"Fight against whom?" Emperor Zhengcang asked again.

Hearing this, Chu Jing understood what Emperor Zhengcang meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"I often hear people mention the emperor, and all of them admire the emperor, and now I can see it with my own eyes, and it is really not a lie. In this case, there is no need to hide it. As the emperor expected, the person who fought with him was none other than my Shadow Gate Master, and also your own brother to the emperor, Chu Qingyang. ”

"What?!!! It turned out that as early as that time, Chu Qingyang had already had an expectation? This...... How is this possible?!! Deng Si'er exclaimed when he heard this.

But I heard Chu Jing say inexplicably:

"Come to think of it, as early as fifteen years ago, after the death of the real Yue King Chu Jing, the door master should have seen him. Otherwise, he would not have known that King Yue had broken a ring finger. Thinking about it, it was also at that time that the owner of the door felt that sooner or later he would be useful to the next day. ”

Chu Jing now fully understood, but he couldn't help but feel sad that he had become a pawn in the hands of others.

What's more, the person who used him was still the master of the door who had worked with him for many years and was not kind to him.

It was only now that Chu Jing understood that in this world, there are people who will use all the value on you while trusting you.

"And he...... Then I'll ......" Deng Si'er looked shocked, obviously not coming back to his senses.

But I heard Emperor Zhengcang open his mouth and said in a deep voice:

"Deng Si'er, at that time, I thought that Chu Qingyang didn't know about your existence. No matter why, I can now be sure that if there is anyone in this world who knows where Brother Yue is buried, it must be Chu Qingyang. ”

"I probably know that." Chu Jing suddenly said loudly.

Emperor Zhengcang and Deng Si'er looked at Chu Jing in surprise when they heard this, only to hear Emperor Zhengcang hurriedly say:

"Do you know the burial place of Brother Yue?"

Chu Jing nodded, looked at Deng Si'er's expectant eyes, and said:

"I know of a place that the owner of the gate goes to every year. Although there are no tombstones there, it is not difficult to speculate on everything in connection with everything. After all, he is the master of the door...... There are no friends who can be said to be worthy of visiting the owner every year. ”

"It turns out that what my father has left is more than just a finger,......" Deng Si'er muttered softly when he heard this.

Emperor Zhengcang and Chu Jing heard Deng Si'er's words on the side, and they didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but Deng Si'er said happily the next moment:

"If there is still anything left, I will be able to personally kowtow to the pillar incense in front of his grave."

When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he said to Deng Si'er:

"Where is the matter as simple as you think, the body of Brother Yue is still there, and it must be to clear away the grievances and restore his identity and move to the imperial tomb. How can my dearest siblings be left behind? And you, when the title of the king of Yue is sealed, it will inevitably be inherited by you. ”

Deng Si'er heard the words and saw that Emperor Zhengcang was very solemn, but he didn't say anything, but he still muttered in his heart:

There's one of your dearest brothers waiting to see you! You guys came out of a mother's womb, but it's more than with my father, right? Why don't you let Chu Qingyang also restore his identity?

But Deng Si'er could only think about it in his heart.

Deng Si'er was speechless, and Emperor Zhengcang's attention was all focused on Chu Jing, only to hear Emperor Zhengcang look at Chu Jing and say:

"You pretend to be royal, especially the name of King Yue without authorization, I should have severely punished you. But you saved Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er in danger, and your merits outweighed your faults in both emotion and reason. And you are being used by Chu Qingyang, so I will not pursue it with you, but you can't use the name of the king brother of me. Fake, after all, can only be fake. ”

Chu Jing knew that Emperor Zhengcang would definitely talk about this today, and Emperor Zhengcang's not to blame had already surprised Chu Jing, and at this moment, hearing Emperor Zhengcang say this, Chu Jing just nodded and said:

"This nature, impersonation, is not right."

Emperor Zhengcang saw that Chu Jing said it was refreshing, so he nodded and said:

"I know that in the current situation, you have played a major role in it, and I have always been clear about the rewards and punishments, and when the war is over, I will not forget your name in the credit book."

Chu Jing smiled lightly when he heard this, and he didn't shirk it, and immediately thanked him:

"If that's the case, then thank you to the emperor."

The doubts in my heart have already been asked, and Emperor Zhengcang has already heard Zuo Idiot and others talk in detail about other things, and there is no need to ask more at this time, so he changed his tone and said:

"You came here today, presumably it must be Chu Qingyang and He Qili's side, and they have made some moves, right?"

Chu Jing nodded, and then told Emperor Zhengcang what he had said to everyone before, only to see Emperor Zhengcang nodding and saying:

"Alright, since I have decided to go, I will definitely not put myself in danger, and I want to see the other ministers, so you should retreat first."

When Chu Jing and Deng Si'er heard this, Emperor Zhengcang bowed his head and remained silent after speaking, ignoring the meaning of the two of them, and then immediately withdrew from the study.

Out of the study door, Deng Si'er was still thinking about the conversation between Emperor Zhengcang and Zuo Yuanfeng when he entered the door, so he asked Chu Jing suspiciously:

"By the way, Uncle Jing, when I entered the study before, the emperor said, what is General Zuo worried about?"

Chu Jing saw that Deng Si'er hadn't figured it out yet, so he couldn't help but smile and said:

"General Zuo is worried that I will be unfavorable to the emperor. Think about it, General Zuo left the study, only you, me and the emperor are left, if I want to do something, who can stop me? ”

Deng Si'er's face was really startled when he heard this, and he blinked at Chu Jing and asked rhetorically;

"Then why don't you do it?"

Chu Jing glanced at Deng Si'er, sighed lightly, and said lightly:

"No matter what, he is indeed a good emperor." (To be continued.) )
