Chapter Seventy-Two: Honoring Your Majesty and Angry Jiang Qi
Lu Jiuke paused slightly.
Jiang Wang stopped and turned to look at him.
Lu Jiuke lifted the book in his hand.
The corners of Jiang Wang's mouth twitched slightly, but he was not polite, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know, Lu Xijiu is just flipping books, never reading books, if you really want to read, it's fine, but just holding the book and pretending to be like it's really unnecessary." ”
Lu Jiuke squinted.
Jiang Wang said indifferently: "How Lu Sai Jiu acts, others can't control it, but as a sacrificial wine, don't talk about how to cultivate, don't talk about Confucianism and Taoism, a swordsman who doesn't read a book, becoming the big sacrificial wine of Yuyuan Academy, it's a very interesting thing, isn't it?" ”
Lu Jiuke stepped forward again, his voice flat, "I don't need to explain to you, I can sit in this position, and I am naturally qualified." ”
Jiang Wang followed and said, "I don't want to judge whether Lu Saijiu is qualified or not. ”
"My father Jiang Qi has a master-apprenticeship with you, whether you admit it or not, this is a fact after all, it stands to reason that you should help me, but if you didn't help my father back then, I wouldn't expect you to help me, just continue to hold the book and pretend to be good."
Lu Jiuke said expressionlessly: "Jiang Qi is bold and reckless, he doesn't obey discipline, I won't admit that there is this apprentice, you and I are just strangers, honestly studying in Yuyuan Academy, no one is bothering you, if you are looking for trouble, you must be prepared to pay the price." ”
Jiang Wang looked at him calmly.
It is more accurate to only listen to others and not know each other personally.
He would wonder if Lu Jiuke and his father deliberately showed the illusion that the two of them only had the name of master and apprentice but disliked each other outside for some reason, but it was difficult to get an answer from Lu Jiuke's words.
There is an emperor in Yuyuan Academy, and although Jiang Wang had some thoughts of making a big fuss, he just stopped it.
However, there is a regular festival wine, and Yuyuan Academy will not be so peaceful.
Ba Shou colluded with Hebo and intended to kill him in Naihehai.
It was the safety of the small fish that forced him to go to the Nai He Sea, whether it was a coincidence or not, the regular sacrifice wine hid directly in the divine capital, how could Jiang Wang not think about it?
Fortunately, nothing happened to him and Xiaoyu, and he really couldn't come to Shendu at the beginning, otherwise he would never have let Chang Saijiu live until now.
As for the misunderstanding between the emperor and the regular sacrificial wine, Jiang Wang ignored it at all.
When you arrive at the Shendu Yuyuan Academy, how can you let the regular sacrificial wine hide quietly.
It used to be enough to fight, but now crushing him is no different than crushing an ant.
And if he has a reason to make trouble, it is not considered to be a troublemaker for no reason.
If you want to come to the emperor, there is no reason to kill him.
"Jiang Qi used to live here, everything hasn't been touched, you take your own time."
Lu Jiuke took Jiang Wang to a house, the house looked a little dilapidated, it really looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, and it hadn't been cleaned.
The words fell, and Lu Jiuke turned around and left directly.
I don't want to linger for a moment.
Jiang Wang glanced back, and then pushed open the door of the house covered in cobwebs.
A lot of dust emerges.
Jiang Wang blew a breath, and the dust disappeared.
The layout of the house is simple.
A bed, a desk, a chair, a dining table, and two benches.
Other than that, there was nothing but a dilapidated wooden box ajar in the corner.
There is nothing on the low table.
The bedding on the bed is still complete, except for the dust, but I don't see how dirty it is.
Jiang Wang's gaze was fixed on the desk.
There are some books on it, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
The ink had dried up, the ingots had broken into several pieces, the brush had exploded, and the paper had yellowed, but the handwriting was still faintly visible.
Jiang Wang stood in front of the table and was silent.
Whether the paper was deliberately old, Jiang Wang didn't know for the time being, but the content on it made him frown.
It's not that Jiang Wang guessed, it was Chen Jinghuai who was cheating, because there were a lot of bad words about Chen Jinghuai in the content, including Lu Jiuke's bad words, and even many names that Jiang Wang knew or didn't know, to put it bluntly, the content on the paper was more like a diary.
There is more than one, there is a thick bunch.
Some of the content has been blurred.
Jiang Wang flipped through it casually and ignored it.
If it was really my father's diary, how could it be here?
My father entered Yuyuan Academy very early, and later entered the Qingxuan Bureau, not to mention that at that time, he and Chen Jinghuai were still like brothers, just how hateful and derogatory Chen Jinghuai's words were already very fake.
But as soon as Jiang Wang turned around, he seemed to think of something, and his gaze fell on the paper again.
He had never seen his father's handwriting, so naturally he could not distinguish the real from the fake.
It's just that it suddenly occurred to me that if Chen Jinghuai deliberately cheated it, it would inevitably be too fake.
And when his father Jiang Qi was still studying at Yuyuan Academy, it was also the period when their relationship was at its best, did he want to say that Jiang Qi had already treated him on the surface and behind him at that time, and it was Jiang Qi who really betrayed the brotherhood instead of him?
Jiang Wang couldn't help laughing.
He felt that Chen Jinghuai would not be so stupid.
Unless what is on paper is indeed true, there is no deception.
But then again, the period when the two of them turned against each other was a long time later, if Jiang Qi really saw Chen Jinghuai unhappy a long time ago and deliberately pretended to be a brother with him, how could he leave such an important diary in Yuyuan Academy?
And it was placed on the table without concealment.
No matter how much Chen Jinghuai was not taken seriously back then, he was also a prince, and it was impossible for anyone in the Yuyuan Academy to pretend not to see it, how could Jiang Qi have the opportunity to deceive Chen Jinghuai for so many years.
Jiang Wang shook his head and walked to the wooden box in the corner.
It was just some laundry, and it was already in tatters.
He came to the bed again.
There were a lot of sachets piled up inside, but there was no fragrance, only a pungent stench.
Those sachets are obviously not from one person, each sachet is engraved with a name, what Chunlan Dongmei, Xiu'er Qiao'er, Jiang Wang immediately affirmed, this is something left by his father.
He smacked his lips and looked around the room.
Walked straight out.
Outside the house stood Li Shenyuan.
Without waiting for Li Shenyuan to ask anything, Jiang Wang said directly: "Take me to find the regular sacrifice wine." ”
Li Shenyuan nodded.
Say what you say!
......
Although Chang Saijiu also wanted to leave a good impression on Wei Ziyi and strive to get the status of master and apprentice, he did not entangle himself like those edicts.
He hunched his shoulders and just returned to his house.
I saw Jiang Wang appear in front of me out of thin air.
Li Shenyuan did not show up, but watched somewhere outside the house.
Chang Saijiu's expression stiffened slightly, and he said with an embarrassed smile: "I have delicious food here, as well as good wine and tea, do you want to try it?" ”
The layout of this house is much more extravagant.
Sparrows are not small, but they are also complete.
There are all kinds of decorative ornaments.
There are even blankets on the floor.
Jiang Wang sat directly on the ground, put his arm on the low table next to him, picked up the pastry on the low table with his other hand and took a bite, his eyes were not on the regular sacrifice wine, and said lightly: "I didn't want to hear you explain anything, but now I give you a chance to say the reason why I won't kill you." ”
Chang Saijiu smiled and walked a few steps forward, "Don't be so angry, this is Yuyuan Academy, can you really kill me?" ”
He took out the good wine and tea, put it in front of Jiang Wang, and sat on the ground with him, saying, "I should explain the misunderstanding clearly, but I want to ask first, what did you find in the house where Jiang Qi lived before?" ”
Jiang Wang said: "Something inconsequential. ”
Chang Saijiu lowered his eyes and said, "It really doesn't matter, right?" I actually understand what you are thinking, although I don't understand Your Majesty's purpose for letting you come to Yuyuan Academy, maybe you really want to cultivate you, but your hostility towards Your Majesty may also affect your thinking. ”
Jiang Wang smiled: "You have all read the contents of the pile of paper in the house, if you want to say that it is true, do you think I will believe it?" Or do you believe it? ”
"Of course, I can't believe it easily, but there is one thing, that pile of paper has been there from beginning to end, and it is not someone who has just put it there recently. ”
Jiang Wang looked at Chang Saijiu with a smile, but his voice became cold, "First there is the content on the paper, and then you mention the origin of those papers, maybe there are more people to prove that it is not a forgery, but even if everyone in the gods says that the content on the paper is written by my father, it is still fake." ”
"I'll give you a chance to say the reason why I won't kill you, I don't listen to you talk nonsense, since you don't cherish it so much, then I'll give you a good time."
The temperature in the house plummeted, and the chill was bitter.
The regular sacrificial wine can't help but shiver.
He hurriedly said: "I didn't mean to prove that the content on the paper was right or wrong, and it has always been strange. ”
"Those papers were not taken away when Jiang Qi left Yuyuan Academy, and Lu Jiuke was Jiang Qi's teacher, and no one usually went there, so when I found those papers, it had been a long time."
"But Jiang Qi is still a few years away from the capital, as for why the content has not been publicized, I don't know, on the paper, I am the last person in the Yuyuan Academy to know, and I doubt the authenticity of the content, because I know that Jiang Qi is by no means that kind of person!"
"If someone wants to say that someone is fake, it should be very early, Lu Jiuke is the most suspicious, but after all, they are a master and apprentice, although it may not be a deep master-apprentice friendship, but I don't understand the reason why Lu Jiuke would frame Jiang Qi."
Sensing that the temperature in the room had risen slightly, Chang Saijiu poured a sip of wine and sighed: "I didn't understand it at the time, but after thinking about it, I don't necessarily need any reason, if His Majesty asked Lu Jiuke to do this, just to confirm Jiang Qi's bigger crime, it would have been a rebellion." ”
"Your Majesty shows affection and righteousness again, even if Jiang Qi commits a heinous crime, Your Majesty can't bear to kill him, don't talk about the rest, just on this matter, the ignorant will only respect Your Majesty and anger Jiang Qi."
"In other words, the people don't care who is the emperor, but they have no reason to hate the emperor who values affection and righteousness and is extremely benevolent, even if in the eyes of some courtiers, His Majesty will appear indecisive and have outstanding weaknesses, which is not a bad thing."
"That will make it easier for His Majesty, who was still a prince at the time, to ascend the throne."
