Chapter 218: Trade-offs

After the guards of the Imperial Forest Army dispersed, I saw the emperor walking up to Jia Lian with a solemn expression, and slowly took the homemade short musket in Jia Lian's hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The emperor is careful~" Gonggong Li hurriedly stopped the emperor from touching such a dangerous weapon.

Jia Lian hurriedly explained: "The emperor can rest assured, this musket can only fire one bullet at a time at present, and if you want to fire it again, you need to put on ammunition again, so it is safe now." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was relieved to take the musket and play with it repeatedly for a while, and after a long time, Fang said: "So, this thing can only be used once?" ”

Jia Lian replied: "Yes, you need to reload the ammunition after using it once." ”

As he spoke, he saw Jia Lian take out a few paper ammunition from his arms, and then continued: "This is a bullet." ”

The Emperor took the bullet and made a few strokes with the musket, but he was never allowed to enter, and finally said, "Get up and teach me how to fiddle with this thing." ”

"Your Majesty." I saw Jia Lian stand up, take the musket and bullets in the emperor's hand, and then skillfully loaded them, handed them into the emperor's hands again, and said: "Now as long as you pull this trigger again, the musket can be fired." ”

According to the method taught by Jia Lian, the emperor held the short musket with one hand and felt it casually, and the next moment, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Jia Lian's chest, and Sen Ran said: "Jia Lian, you said that I am like this, as long as you gently pull this trigger, will you really die?" ”

I saw Jia Lian gently patting the position of his chest, and then replied fearlessly: "Back to the emperor, at such a close distance, as long as the emperor shoots at the heart of the minister, you can ensure that the minister will not die in pain for too long." ”

"You're not afraid?" The Emperor asked.

"Thunder and rain and dew are both Jun's grace! can die under the hands of the emperor, and the ministers die without complaint! When Jia Lian replied this, he still had a smile on his face.

Just when the two monarchs and ministers were holding each other, they suddenly heard a guard outside coming in: "Your Majesty, report eight hundred miles urgently." ”

The emperor gave a slight signal to Gonggong Li, and Gonggong Li went out to deal with it.

After a short time, Gonggong Li walked in again and unfolded a small piece of paper in front of the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, he waved his hand and Gonggong Li retreated, and then saw the emperor slowly withdraw the musket, and then said: "It is worthy of my Rongguo Gong, just this courage is beyond the reach of ordinary people, I like this musket very much, so I stayed." After finishing speaking, he handed the musket to Gonggong Li behind him.

Jia Lian naturally had no objections, but said with a smile: "Originally, it was also going to be dedicated to the emperor, but this is an ominous murder weapon, so I have never dared to, and now that the emperor likes it, this is a great honor for the minister." ”

With the change of the attitude of the two monarchs and ministers, the atmosphere in this imperial study seems to have eased.

Then the emperor asked the guards to take Jia Huan's body and left the imperial study together, and at the same time gave Jia Lian a small stool to sit down, and finally saw that the emperor seemed to have forgotten the previous saber rattling, forgetting that Jia Huan had just died at the moment, and said with a pleasant voice: "Since Aiqing has shown enough loyalty, the previous quelling of chaos Aiqing is the first achievement, but Aiqing, you are now young and already a prince, but I have a headache How to reward it." ”

Jia Lian knew that this was a fact, and it was also a failure for the courtiers to let the emperor reward him, so he took the opportunity to say: "The minister is just doing his duty as a courtier, how dare he ask the emperor to reward him again, but I heard that the emperor intends to amnesty the world, can the minister intercede for a cousin who missed and injured someone's life, and put him in the amnesty list?" ”

"This is just a trivial matter, Aiqing didn't need to deliberately tell herself to do this, how could she still be so cautious to ask me, but really because of what happened just now, it hurt the friendship between you and me?" The Emperor replied with a smile.

Jia Lian hurriedly explained: "The minister didn't dare, but although the minister was given a high position by the emperor, he didn't dare to interfere in the lawsuit indiscriminately, so he came to ask the emperor for his golden words; Furthermore, if the emperor feels that this matter is not worth mentioning, then the minister begs the emperor to give the two errands of Baoling Marquis Shi Nai, and Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding to do? ”

"You want to use your own merits to atone for one person, and then seek an official for Shi Nai?" The Emperor said.

I saw Jia Lian sneering and said: "On the one hand, they are the cousins of the minister's wife, and on the other hand, they are the nephews of the old lady in the minister's mansion. ”

At this time, I suddenly heard the emperor laugh, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, I heard that the Xue Shi family has a flower-like eldest lady, and now they are both living in the Grand View Garden in your mansion, you are only afraid that it will be the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty~!" ”

Jia Lian was embarrassed when he heard this: "Since you can't hide it from the emperor, then the minister will say it directly, the minister doesn't ask for much in this life, but he can't stand the tears of his favorite woman the most. ”

"I can't see it, you're a love saint."

"I don't dare to be a saint, but I am willing to give everything for those strange women."

"Since there are so many invitations, why don't you reply to me for a long time on the matter of Princess Hanyue, don't you still look down on Princess Hanyue's appearance and talent?"

With the emperor's last question, Jia Lian, who was asking, was speechless.

Because what Princess Hanyue said is also officially canonized by the Celestial Empire, and announced that one of the princesses in the world, how dare Jia Lian say, it's not that I refuse to reply, if you are willing to marry Princess Hanyue to me as a wife, I naturally have nothing to say, but if you want me to abandon my wife to marry Princess Hanyue, you can't.

"My royal princess, can't you just get into your Jia Lian's eyes?" Seeing that Jia Lian didn't answer for a long time, the emperor said this and returned to a cold state.

I only heard Jia Lian reply: "The minister doesn't dare, but the minister already has a wife, Wang, and he doesn't dare to learn to be that Chen Shimei abandons his wife and children, and at the same time he doesn't dare to wronged His Royal Highness Princess Hanyue, so the minister can only be speechless." ”

"You~!" The emperor then became speechless.

After a long time, the emperor said again: "You go down, I have my own arrangements for this matter, and I can't tolerate you not to obey at that time!" In addition, Jia Huan, the captain of the Shenji Battalion, was assassinated by the rebels during the chaos, and you will comfort your old lady after you return home, understand? ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie is Longen, and the minister is retiring." Jia Lian said, slowly exiting the murderous imperial study.

After Jia Lian left, the emperor stared at the short musket on the case and didn't know what to think, and after half a ring, he suddenly grabbed the musket and pulled the trigger on the big vase in the corner.

Then I heard a loud 'bang', and then I saw the broken vase shatter on the ground.

Countless guards outside hurriedly ran in, and then retreated under the emperor's roar, leaving only Gonggong Li silently cleaning up the fragments of the flower pot.

"Do you know why I didn't pull the trigger when I pointed this musket at Jia Lian just now?" The emperor seemed to be talking to himself.

But I only heard Gonggong Li reply: "Jia Guogong has an unpredictable talent, the reason why Wang Ziteng's matter was lost is definitely this person's hand tail, plus the Shenji Battalion has always been in the hands of this person, I think the emperor is unwilling to cause another turmoil, so he changed his mind." ”

However, the emperor smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "This is only one of them, more importantly, just at the moment when I was about to pull the trigger, a very dangerous feeling suddenly arose in my heart, you know?" This feeling was also felt when I followed the Emperor Taishang on an expedition, when I was prepared in advance, so I finally escaped the enemy's trap, and at the same time, another royal brother on my side died on the spot! ”
