Chapter 21: Loyalty and Bravery
The eunuch led Zhang Jing and the others to Taiye Pool first, where there was a small dock, but did not let the two of them board the boat, but first let them wait in a proper manner.
After a few moments, Luan arrived at the service.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse, surrounded by many eunuchs, arrived at the dock with great interest.
Of course, the emperor still ignored Zhang Jingyi.
However, this time, because of the special situation, Zhang Jingyi was able to observe the Emperor of the Apocalypse head-on.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse is very young, his skin is a little dark, and he thinks that he spends a lot of time riding and archery on weekdays, so he has a somewhat healthy complexion.
He seems to be in good health, and he walks vigorously.
And Wei Zhongxian also followed behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Don't look at this nine-thousand-year-old who is majestic outside, but in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he seems to be an uncle next door who is always smiling.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was whispering something to Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian just kept smiling, as if the Emperor of the Apocalypse's jokes were funny and funny.
When he was about to board the ship, the Emperor of the Apocalypse paused for a moment.
His gaze actually swept over Zhang Jingyi's body.
Zhang Jingyi was shocked.
, did the emperor recognize me?
Immediately, I saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowning and said, "General Han, you should be more heroic." ”
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
said this, but I disliked Zhang Jingyi's thin body.
Could it be that I, Zhang Jingyi, am a rookie?
Having said that, Zhang Jing was already young, coupled with his thin body and fair complexion, he had tried his best to raise his head and chest, but it still did not match the heroic martial arts imagined by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this... Most of the Han generals who entered the palace to guard were selected by Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”
Emperor Apocalypse's face actually softened a little, obviously his impression of this Jinyi Wei Tongzhi was not bad, and he didn't follow Wei Zhongxian's words to scold Wu Mengming, but just said, "In the future, you have to choose carefully." ”
Wei Zhongxian was obviously a little disappointed, but he nodded with a smile: "Yes." ”
Zhang Jingyi is no longer loveless at this time, and her image is ...... How bad is it?
and that Wu Mengming, he vaguely remembered that Wu Mengming seemed to have a deep relationship with Liu Qianhu, and should be Liu Qianhu's backer in Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect that this Wu Mengming was actually very bad with Wei Zhongxian.
At this time, the emperor took a few steps forward and continued to command: "Tell them that when choosing a guard, you should choose someone like Zhang Jingyi, and only such a loyal and brave person can be worthy of the responsibility of garrison, but don't call all cats and dogs in!" Hmph, do I lack a Praetorian Guard? ”
As the Emperor boarded the ship, the sound grew farther and farther away.
Zhang Jingyi continued to stand in place, and his heart was very complicated for a while.
After the emperor and eunuchs boarded the ship, Zhang Jingyi and another Han general boarded the ship.
This is a big cruise ship, with colorful lights, but it is similar to the flower boat in the TV series of later generations, huh...... The kind that is not suitable for children.
Zhang Jingyi stood on the deck.
Flower Boat ...... Ah no, the boat began to slowly cruise towards the middle of the lake.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a good mood, he led a group of eunuchs to the deck of the bow of the ship, and said: "Today is still a little cooler, if you wait for the New Year, when the spring opens in the next year, and the weather is getting hotter, it is also good to relax here." It's a pity that I can't recite poetry, if I have more knowledge, it's time to write an article. ”
All the eunuchs began to praise one after another, and said: "Your Majesty's knowledge is profound, and the Hanlin people are inferior to Your Majesty." ”
The other said: "Your Majesty is not uncommon this, Your Majesty wants to be the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, how can he drill into the pile of old papers like those scholars?" ”
Wei Zhongxian coughed, and the eunuch immediately didn't dare to squeak.
This Wei Zhongxian has a bit of the momentum that I didn't speak first in the spring, which insect dared to make a sound, and then laughed and said: "Speaking of poetry, the last time Your Majesty gave the slave and maid the ink treasure, the slave and maid made a special trip to let people frame it and hang it in the middle hall of the slave maid's house, Your Majesty, guess what, the passing guests saw it, all of them applauded, and none of them did not say that this line of book has everyone's style." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned: "Which guest?" ”
"Uh......" Wei Zhongxian was speechless for a while, and was about to start thinking.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately waved his hand: "Okay, don't think about it anymore." ”
Wei Zhongxian said yes repeatedly, and then smiled: "Slave maid...... The slave has been a little confused lately, and she always doesn't remember. ”
Wei Zhongxian looked a little 'clumsy' in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
And Zhang Jingyi observed the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian up close for the first time, and he found that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a very smart person, of course, this cleverness was written on his face.
And what about Wei Zhongxian?
At first, Zhang Jingyi felt that Wei Zhongxian was stupid, and he actually filmed such a sycophant that was seen through at a glance.
But when you chew it carefully, you find that it is not simple, because Wei Zhongxian is obviously hiding in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
is obviously an old fox, but he always says some stupid things and does some stupid things, which will provoke the smart Emperor of the Apocalypse to see through it at a glance!
But in fact, Wei Zhongxian's stupidity showed the wisdom of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very relieved of Wei Zhongxian.
Awesome, awesome!
I think this is the reason why Wei Zhongxian can become nine thousand years old.
Zhang Jingyi's thinking was scattered, cold, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "You are not smart, I am just taking your loyalty, I just looked at the legend of Yue Zhongwu, and I thought in my heart, in this world, like Yue Zhongwu, people who are both talented and loyal, but I am afraid that there are very few, and I naturally can't force it." So I had to pick some people who didn't have any great talents, but were brave and loyal. ”
As soon as the emperor said this, the eunuchs were like being beaten with chicken blood.
Wei Zhongxian said excitedly: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, slaves and maids can die for Your Majesty. ”
The eunuchs also said: "The slaves and maids are willing to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for Your Majesty." ”
"Hahaha......" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was happy, and then looked at the sparkling lake: "If I fall into the water, will you come to the rescue?" ”
Zhang Jingyi: "......"
Zhang Jingyi really wants to scold, this damn crow's mouth!
Wei Zhongxian immediately said: "If Your Majesty falls into the water, the slave and maid will fight for their lives, and they will also go into the water to save it. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked suspicious, and then walked to the railing on the side of the ship, holding the railing in his hand, looking at the sparkling lake, and sighed: "Everyone says loyalty, but if they are all so loyal, how can the world become like this?" Don't think that I don't know anything about the outside of the palace, most of the notes sent are bad news, but most of them have been whitewashed, and this outside the palace will only get worse. ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "That's why Your Majesty needs to promote loyal people to share your Majesty's worries." Slave maid here...... There are quite a few ......."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I'm going to recommend your disciples and grandchildren again, right?" ”
Wei Zhongxian: "......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse turned around and actually glanced at Zhang Jingyi, who was standing on the deck without moving, very meaningfully.
He then said: "Recommendation, recommendation, the worst thing in the world is recommendation, people who really do their best, do things honestly, naturally will not be recommended to me." On the contrary, it was those who smuggled and slapped horses, and the money was used, so the people around me were eager to recommend them. Not to mention anything else, just the guards who are subordinate to me are not very qualified. ”
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "This is Wu ......"
Without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to continue, the Emperor of the Apocalypse interrupted with a sneer: "Do you think I don't know? Things in the palace, without your nod, who can enter the palace? Don't rely on Wu Mengming. ”
Wei Zhongxian did not continue to argue, but hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are dead." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse only glanced at Wei Zhongxian indifferently before sighing: "It was that Zhang Jingyi, who was both loyal and brave, punished Zhao Thief, and made such a great contribution, but now, I don't know where you sent him, why didn't anyone recommend him in front of me?" ”
As soon as Zhang Jing heard this, his heart suddenly surged, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth to say something immediately, but at this time, he remembered many taboos, and he hesitated to open his mouth for a while.
