Chapter Seventy-Two: Blind Doting and Losing Principles
A few days later, the good news of Liu Xinyu's defeat of the Khitan army reached the capital, and the Beijing division was shaken. While the Manchu civil and military were amazed and delighted, they could not help but have doubts.
Why is the Khitan army, which is almost victorious, so vulnerable in front of Liu Xinyu? Previously, the enemy army was menacing and the sound of killing shook the sky, so that Youzhou was almost lost. And it can suddenly be an extremely difficult character to deal with, otherwise, why would the previous Youzhou defenders be defeated and retreated? Is the Khitan army really fierce and difficult, or are the previous commanders and generals all ignorant and incompetent? Or is it that it was pretended to be like this before, but in fact it has another purpose?
As a series of questions continued to arise, the views of the ministers of the DPRK and China began to diverge, so that two completely different voices were heard.
One said that Liu Xinyu was loyal and courageous, and he was a rare pillar of the country. Of course, most of these people are Liu Xinyu's supporters, so naturally they have a lot of good words.
However, as a hostile party, especially those sinister and cunning people led by Zhu Jingqi and Jiang Xinghe, they naturally can't see the good of others.
It happened that there were a lot of suspicions in this matter, and Liu Xinyu was far away in Youzhou at the moment, so he just took this opportunity to make a big fuss, so that he knocked down or even completely defeated Liu Xinyu. If you can do it, you can rest easy.
And the more ruthless and vicious the strategy, the more it must be implemented by big people with sufficient weight to achieve the desired effect.
There is no doubt that this kind of thing is of course the most suitable for Zhu Jingqi to do it himself. After all, he is in a high position and has the help of his "good friend" Jiang Xinghe, so he is naturally able to do things with ease.
Such a "God-given opportunity" is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so why not wait for it now?
There are really many shameless wicked people like Zhu Jingqi in this world, who can "beautify" the vicious and evil deeds that harm others and benefit themselves to be as pure and beautiful as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues.
In the hands of these people, the despicable deeds that were originally spurned by people seem to be "doing good deeds", and those slanderous words that kill people invisibly become the so-called "advice to enter" in their mouths.
A person who can distort right and wrong by reversing black and white and can bring into play to the pinnacle of achievement, how can it be described as brazen and shameless? I'm afraid that I can only sigh: "Woohoo lament, talent, talent!" ”
In the afternoon of that day, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.
At this time, Zhu Jingqi was lying comfortably on a bench in the back garden. There were several maids and servants around who took turns to serve, and it was really very relaxing.
The back garden of the dignified Taishi's Mansion is naturally much more spacious than the style of ordinary people, and Zhu Jingqi is high and powerful, so all the furnishings and scenery here are more luxurious and atmospheric.
And the place of pleasure chosen by Zhu Jingqi is a relatively private and comfortable place in the back garden.
There is a very large round stone table, and around the stone table are several stone benches filled with sweets, fruits, and other items.
And Zhu Jingqi seemed to be paralyzed, sitting on the bench next to him and being served seriously.
I saw that he closed his eyes slightly, then put his left hand on his knee and stretched out his index finger to tap it rhythmically. He also hummed a few words from time to time, which was really happy like a fairy.
If you don't say that people will enjoy it, how can ordinary people reach such a state? - After eating grapes, you should send someone to carefully peel and remove the core, and then slowly put them into his mouth; Tea should be blown to a suitable temperature for him to drink, and then brought to his mouth steadily: snacks should be divided into small pieces with special utensils, and then dipped in various spices, and then fed to him little by little.
Coupled with the pinching of shoulders, the beating of legs, the serving of tea, and the handing of water, all these things are impossible to accomplish without a dozen people by their side.
I know, when he is greedy for pleasure, I don't know, and I think he can't take care of himself.
Look at his fat body, his fat and almost bloated face, and his gray beard and greasy hair that move slightly in the wind, like the face of a traitor. If you don't look at it, it's annoying.
Just as he was intoxicated with this state and was about to fall asleep peacefully, the sudden arrival of Xie Chengfeng disturbed his sweet dream.
Xie Chengfeng is the steward of the Taishi Mansion, and he is also Zhu Jingqi's right-hand man.
The man was about forty years old and had a thin build. He has a cold face and sharp eyes, and he knows that he is a ruthless character at a glance.
Don't look at Xie Chengfeng, who always grovels in front of Zhu Jingqi on weekdays, once he is out of Zhu Jingqi's sight, he is a villain who is domineering. is a typical bully who is afraid of the hard, and a bully.
This person seems to be very kind on the surface, and he is very polite when dealing with people.
However, the actual situation is just the opposite, Xie Chengfeng is good at camouflaging and vicious, and he is resolute in doing things.
Except for Zhu Jingqi, few people can control him, and he never takes others in his eyes, which Zhu Jingqi knows very well in his heart.
And Xie Chengfeng came here not for anything else, but because Zhu Jingqi had previously ordered him to secretly find a personal bodyguard for his daughter Zhu Yanji.
Zhu Yanji is Zhu Jingqi's only flesh and blood, and she is also the person he values the most and can sacrifice his life to protect.
Zhu Yanji's mother died of illness when she was young, and for so many years, it has been their father and daughter who have relied on each other.
Therefore, Zhu Jingqi cherishes and dotes on Zhu Yanqi very much, after all, she is the most important person in the world, and she is also his only hope, and it can even be said to be spiritual sustenance. But to teach her daughter to be safe, even if she is broken, she will not hesitate to do so.
However, after so many years, Zhu Jingqi's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and there are naturally more and more enemies.
His own life and death are small, but the safety of his baby daughter is a big matter. In addition, this girl is lively and active, and she is often open-mouthed, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents over time, so she must find a person with superb martial arts skills for Zhu Yanji to protect her.
Seeing that he was standing in front of him with his head down, Zhu Jingqi had already guessed eight or nine. I think it's because things haven't been done yet, so I behave like this.
"It's been so long, haven't you found the right person yet?" Zhu Jingqi said to Xie Chengfeng with some anger.
Seeing this, Xie Chengfeng arched his hands and replied tremblingly: "I have set up a secret place in a deep and secret place, and carefully selected, how can I ...... How can I ......?"
Before Xie Chengfeng finished speaking, Zhu Jingqi on the side was so angry that he couldn't sit still, and then quickly stood up from the bench, walked quickly in front of Xie Chengfeng, and said viciously to him: "No matter how much money you spend, it's not a pity!" I have only one request, and that is to find me a top master! Do you understand the best of the best! ”
Seeing this, Xie Chengfeng hurriedly said: "According to the humble opinion of his subordinates, the Taishi doesn't have to bother with this matter. With the protection of the guards in the house, it must be possible to ensure the safety of the young lady. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Zhu Jingqi's already very excited emotions became more and more uncontrollable.
"Others don't know and I don't know? Although the martial arts of the guards in the palace are not general, they are by no means top-notch! I'm just such a daughter, if there is a mistake, can you afford it! ”
When Xie Chengfeng heard this, he was immediately displeased. The heart said, if it weren't for the fact that reality hindered the interests, how could you allow a bad old man to yell at me here?
When he was young, Xie Chengfeng said to him again: "Taishi, as the so-called people outside the world have heavens, even if you invite the so-called top masters, you may not be foolproof......
"Why do you kid talk so much nonsense? If you are long-winded, you can immediately push it out and cut it! ”
Xie Chengfeng saw that Zhu Jingqi was really angry, so he didn't dare to say more, so he turned around and left.
At this moment, Zhu Yanji returned from a trip and vaguely heard the two arguing, so she wanted to come here to find out.
On the side of the lacquered door, in the verandah, a sound of light and heavy footsteps was slowly approaching.
When I looked closely, it turned out that Zhu Yanji was pacing with joy. I think it's another day outside, and I'm in a good mood.
I saw that the woman was wearing a lilac cardigan skirt with a pure white silk bandeau underneath. The top is tight and short, and the bottom skirt is long and wide. Between spinning and jumping, the skirt moves with the wind, which is very charming.
At this moment, a pink palace silk that had been hanging from his waist suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, the tassel at the end of the palace silk also began to dance, which added to the intoxicating beauty.
At the moment when Zhu Yanji turned around and lowered her arms to look, everyone who stayed here was overwhelmed by her bewitching eyes.
Its eyes are as delicate as peach blossoms. If you don't smile, your eyes will be slightly drunk and slightly powdery after drinking, like a beautiful woman in the woods. If you turn to laugh, it will be as cold and deep as a crescent moon in the night sky.
In such a state, it is important not to look at it for a long time. Otherwise, it will be seduced by it, and the consequences are unpredictable.
Its lips are as rosy and delicate as cherries. If you pout, then its face is pure and lovely, but it is enchanting, and it is better than the mundane things in the world. If you get closer, you can't resist the temptation and leave quickly.
In such a situation, do not be tempted. Otherwise, they will be entangled endlessly, and their lives may not be saved.
Such a peerless beauty is coming, how many people in the world can not be moved?
However, you don't want to be too happy, because anyone who achieves the ultimate in external beauty often lacks inner beauty, and this is the case with Zhu Yanji.
Don't look at her soft and weak on the surface, she looks weak, in fact, she is more noisy than anyone else.
In addition, Zhu Jingqi has loved her like a treasure since she was a child, and has always regarded her as a pearl in her palm and pampered her.
All this made Zhu Yanjiao more and more unscrupulous and fearless, so that she developed a dangerous character that was almost flying and domineering.
Because of this, Zhu Yanji prefers to be alone on weekdays, and never allows anyone to accompany her closely, not even a personal maid.
What makes Zhu Jingqi even more uneasy is that this daughter's personality is too extroverted. And she is still young, and her experience in the rivers and lakes is obviously insufficient. In addition, Zhu Yanji is simple-hearted and likes to make friends with all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, so she must be protected when she goes out.
But according to her temper, she definitely won't want to be restrained all the time. In desperation, Zhu Jingqi had no choice but to send someone to secretly protect him.
However, this is not a long-term solution, so it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no mistakes.
So, Zhu Jingqi secretly ordered Xie Chengfeng to secretly choose a suitable bodyguard for her. First, it can protect her safety, and secondly, it can also keep track of her daughter's movements.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Jingqi mentioned this matter to Zhu Yanji, she suddenly became angry and said that she would not agree to find a bodyguard.
Seeing this, Zhu Jingqi was also quite helpless, but it was not good to go against her wishes immediately, so he had to pretend to agree to Zhu Yanji first and never mention the matter again.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Yanji's eyes rolled, and she turned around and squeezed at Zhu Jingqi. and begged him again and again, promising to never mention this matter again, so that he could rest assured.
When the people around them saw this, they all pretended to turn a blind eye, and then began to avoid it.
Zhu Jingqi knew that she was afraid that she would go back on her word, so she behaved like this.
Although he is very aware of Zhu Yanji's temperament, it is not good to be so close to him in public.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingqi pushed out his coquettish daughter lying in his arms, and there was a little emotion in his words.
Although Zhu Jingqi did not make any radical moves, Zhu Yanji has been spoiled by him since she was a child, where can she stand such grievances?
Zhu Yanji saw that she was coquettish and lost people in front of everyone, and she was immediately angry.
But she didn't show it right away because of her face, but forced the anger in her heart to hide her face.
At this moment, Zhu Jingqi was keenly aware that he had made his daughter angry again.
The matter has come to this point, Zhu Jingqi can only admit that he is unlucky, who let you provoke the most unprovoked person?
can only be coaxed as always, and the price of this coaxing must be quite huge. Both father and daughter are very aware of this.
It turned out that Zhu Jingqi, who was obedient to her daughter, had to meet her unconditionally every time she made Zhu Yanji angry. Otherwise, Zhu Yanji would never pay attention to Zhu Jingqi again.
It can be seen that Zhu Jingqi's doting on Zhu Yanji has reached the point of losing his principles.
Sure enough, Zhu Yanji's anger subsided soon after she returned to the house, and then she began to think about how to seize this rare opportunity and then make him a lot of money.
