Chapter 280: Entering the palace and pleading guilty
This scene is like going back to five years ago, five years ago, when I was bent on power and had to fight for everything.
I remember, he asked me before, does Jing Feng really love power?
My answer was, yes!
Actually, at that time, I just started from a random sentence in Ah Yun's mouth, until women like power, and even if a man has strong financial resources and no power background, he is just a businessman after all, in order to make my sister happy, in order to better protect my sister and her, so I stepped in without hesitation!
I was negligent...... She is such a noble identity, with endless glory and self-preservation, how can she let me give it and protect it......
But, even though I knew this, I still didn't let go of what I had...... Is it really powerless to get out, or is it already trapped in the world and unwilling to get out?
Perhaps, now, after such hesitation, I seem to have some answers......
"Jing Feng, this palace wants to ask you something......"
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Have you ever heard of the treasures of the former dynasty?"
"Your Highness is referring to...... Cangyun Country? ”
"Cangyun Kingdom has now been destroyed by Emperor Jiushu, and the treasures of the world will be caged into his hands, Xiao thinks that the property of Cangyun Kingdom is undoubtedly blatantly hostile to Emperor Jiushu, this palace thinks, even his father doesn't have that guts......"
"That'...... What does Your Highness mean? "I already had some attention in my heart, but I pretended to be confused, trying to hear it clearly from his mouth.
Sure enough, he said, "Before the establishment of the Cangyun Kingdom, there was another country...... Before it was destroyed by the founding emperor of Cangyun Kingdom, he secretly transported all the treasures in the palace early. As far as the palace knows, the leader of the treasure delivery back then was none other than the palace craftsman of the country, that is, ...... It has been rumored on the rivers and lakes for a long time, the world's first god craftsman! ”
"The world's first divine craftsman?" I've heard of this guy, but, "Hasn't he been dead for years?" ”
It is estimated that under the loess, it has long become a pair of white bones, do you want to ask a pair of bone slag where the treasure is?
"You're right, of course a dead man won't speak, but this palace has heard that a few years ago, when Emperor Jiushu was still the ninth prince of Yeyang Kingdom, he secretly sent someone to look for this person, and after finding it with great difficulty, he also visited it in person."
"He's going to meet guests?"
"If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally not see it, but if the other party was Emperor Jiushu, then it would be a different matter......
I thought about it carefully, and I was stunned, and I also felt that what the Ten Princes said was good.
First of all, Emperor Jiushu has always been ambitious, and he has long been thinking about Cangyun Kingdom, wanting to take it in one fell swoop! And it was Cangyun Guo who destroyed his country, and at this point, he unnaturally stood on the same front as Emperor Jiushu, and helping Emperor Jiushu was tantamount to helping himself realize the wish of the emperor. Moreover, with Emperor Jiushu being so resourceful and strategic, it was impossible for him to go to see that person without all preparations.
"Your Highness is very right! So...... What's next for Your Highness? ”
"The spies sent out by the palace reported that they were only fifty percent sure that the thing was handed over to Emperor Jiushu by him, but after the battle between Yeyang Kingdom and Cangyun Kingdom, this palace can already be sure that that thing has been on Emperor Jiushu without a doubt, but it is just ...... I'm afraid even Emperor Jiushu himself doesn't know. ”
"He doesn't know?" This is strange, isn't the purpose of Emperor Jiushu looking for someone to get to the treasures of the previous dynasty? Since it's coming, how can you not know that something has arrived?
"For this, it is also the palace that is wonderful
A little...... None of that matters, though, just get that thing first. ”
"Listen to what Your Highness means...... Know what that thing is? ”
"This natural ...... At first, Bengong didn't know, but later, with the appearance of the national teacher of Cangyun Country, Bengong understood. ”
My fingers trembled, "Cangyun National Teacher? ”
"Do you remember a few months ago, when the Cangyun National Master appeared in Yeyang Kingdom?"
I couldn't help frowning, "This Weichen still remembers." "Not only do I remember, the gap between me and him should be from that time when I left the Guiheng Kingdom for no reason, which made the emperor and the ten princes suspicious.
"If you are difficult to understand, you are not curious, a dignified national teacher, you don't enjoy the glory and wealth, but you want to bend down and be in the Nine Kings' Mansion and be incognito? …… If it weren't for the special order, how could he endure such humiliation......"
"What does Your Highness mean...... Did she do it on purpose? "At that time, I was negligent, thinking that the purpose of her stay was just to clear up what Emperor Jiushu had done to her before, and I never thought that she had other tasks.
Now that I think about it, I think it's a little strange.
If you just want to find Emperor Jiushu to get back justice, you can attack him when you are in the Nine Kings' Mansion, but ...... She had to wait so long, and even in the end, she almost lost her life!
If you simply want to gain the trust of Emperor Jiushu, you won't gamble with your life, which is ...... It turns out that there is another layer of purpose?!
My heart suddenly had a hint of coolness, I always thought that my sister was still the sister I knew, and it would never change, so I did my best to protect her, but I never thought that time is changing, and a person is also changing...... The human heart is no more than a stone, how can it be said that if it is not changed, it will not be changed?
Just like me, I have always felt that my original intention has not changed, in fact, there has been a big change in it, but from my own side, it is always not easy to notice.
As for what the Ten Princes said later, I didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, I just blindly thought about her thoughts about staying in Yeyang Kingdom in those two months, but I couldn't think of a reasonable explanation......
“…… This palace knows that this is a little difficult for you, but this palace has known you for so long, and you have never let this palace down, no matter how tricky and confusing things are, you will have your own ingenuity to solve them, right, Jingfeng? ”
I nodded in a daze, and suddenly my palms sank, and when I looked down, I realized that the object he suddenly handed over looked only the size of a fingernail.
"What is this?"
"This is according to the description of those who have seen the talisman in the hand of Emperor Jiushu, a talisman of the same size is imitated, and all the secrets of the treasure of the previous dynasty are hidden on this small talisman."
"Your Highness?" He handed over such an important thing to me without hesitation, to me who was still doubting a moment ago, was he tempting, or did he really trust me all along?
"Bengong said that you have always been worthy of Bengong's trust." He held up his chin with a smile, and the corners of his eyebrows curved, it seemed that he had completely transformed from a young man in Tsing Yi back then, after the tempering of time, into a prince of a country with restrained courage!
"Wechen...... Got it......"
Out of the East Palace, on the way back, I told Sun Su about this matter in a simplified way, and he was taken aback: "Didn't the Ten Princes already start to suspect you, Gongzi?" Now I have to entrust you with the task, what are you thinking in the bottom of your heart?
? ”
"The emperor's thoughts, who knows......" I squinted and leaned back in the carriage, "Come back......"
"Drive!"
………………………………………………
On the second day, I asked the housekeeper to prepare some things, originally I wanted to visit the General's Mansion, but I didn't expect that the dragoon came to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, which is good, and it saves me another expense!
"The last general...... Meet Xiangye......"
"You're coming quickly, you haven't eaten enough of the last closed-door soup?"
"The last general......" His face was flushed, and he couldn't say anything later.
"Alright, sit down......" I pointed to a position, and stopped and told the butler and the group of maids in the house to step back first.
After the others left, he didn't sit down, but walked a few steps forward, and asked straight to the point: "Gongzi is looking for the last general today, is there anything important to tell the last general to do?" ”
Listen to this, you are worthy of being a born slave!
"It's ...... It's not a big deal, don't I don't know much about the inside of your dead guard, but apart from the butler hiding in the shadows, the only one who can be directly contacted is you, so I just want to ask you a few questions. ”
"Childe, please speak! The last general must know everything, and there is no end to words! ”
"That's for the best...... That boy asked you, is the dead guard also going to be divided into different levels? ”
"Yes, when the lord was cultivating these people before, he had already divided us into different levels according to the order of entry, ability and loyalty."
"What are the levels?"
"There are mainly three ......: shadow, ghost, and magic"
"All three of these were set by the Xuanyuan family?"
"Childe is right, all of them are ordered by the master himself, among them, the most capable, the most loyal, and the deepest trust of the lord, that is, the shadow guard!"
Shadow Guard? How did he report the person with his surname yesterday? Shadow Guard Clock Tower......
It seems that what he said still has a certain degree of credibility.
"How many people are there in the shadow guard?"
"If you add the ones scattered in various places, there are still eight."
"Are any of them promoted in the later stages?"
Dragoon shook his head, "The shadow guard can tell the rank name at the top, the lord has strict requirements before he dies, unless it is the person who is personally promoted by the Xuanyuan clan, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to want to enter!" ”
"This is not certain, didn't the people of the Xuanyuan family hand over all the dead guards to the housekeeper to take care of? It wouldn't be so difficult for a housekeeper to promote someone in, right? ”
His face showed a hint of embarrassment, "Before...... The butler had this idea, and he did so, but later he was strongly stopped by the people of the shadow guard and the ghost guard. ”
"Oh? Why is it blocked? ”
"Childe doesn't know...... In fact, at the very beginning, all the dead guards were numbered in the order of entry, and there was no hierarchy at all, it was the lady who ......"
"My mother?"
"Madame felt that the lord had handed over all the rights to the housekeeper, and she was not at ease in her heart, so she divided it into a group of us, and secretly appointed the people of the shadow guard to try their best to protect the bloodline of the Xuanyuan clan."
"My mother is so thoughtful......
"The last general was sent into the ranks of soldiers when he was ten years old, and he only saw his wife twice, but his wife's is a rare strange woman in the world!"
