Zhao Hongjin looked at Shao Xi with an extremely appreciative gaze, as if he was looking at a treasure that he had been looking for for a long time, and as if he had finally met the person he had dreamed of in the vast sea of people.

"I have been forbearant for so many years, in fact, it is also because I don't have the courage to take this step, at the beginning, the two of Korea and China, Han Zeng and Fu Zuoliang checked and balanced each other, and it can be regarded as a balance, and although I have always wanted to take back power, I don't have the courage to break this balance. Now it is your appearance that has given me great encouragement, so that I can now have the courage to take this step, but I don't have the slightest grasp in my heart about what will happen next, I really hope that you can stay in Nanzhao to help me, the two of us will become permanent friends, what official you want to do, just open your mouth to me, even if it is to be Xiangguo! ”

When Shao Xi heard this, pull it down! If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find out his life experience and avenge his father-in-law's family, he wouldn't even want to be an official of the Jingyuan Dynasty, let alone you, an official of the Southern Zhao Dynasty.

"I said little emperor, you have to recognize your status, you are the king of a country, you must control everything in your own hands, you can't always expect others to help you, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone. Everyone wants to sit in the emperor's seat, but not everyone can sit in it, since you have already sat in this seat, you have to find a way to make yourself worthy of this seat, otherwise even if more people help you, you will not be able to sit steadily. Go for it! Juvenile! ”

Zhao Hongjin's expression was a little lonely, his happiest time since he was a child was when his father was alive, he and his sister often surrounded his father in the imperial garden, at that time there was no deceit in his world, there was no power struggle, only his father's love and his sister's dependence.

But such days are only a few short years, and after his father passed away, he sat on the throne, but in the eyes of others, this undesirable thing was very painful for Zhao Hongjin. Every day in the face of those courtiers with ghosts, but also put on a gentleman's appearance of a wise minister, say some insincere words, the hardest thing is to beware of them every day, if one accidentally loses not only the throne, but also the lives of himself and his sister, so he has lived trembling and fearful over the years.

As an emperor, of course, he knows the importance of power, but power has never been completely controlled by himself.

Now Shao Xi's appearance has made him see the hope of taking the imperial power into his own hands, although he also knows that everything Shao Xi does is only for the benefit of Jing Yuanguo, but Shao Xi is the first person who is really willing to help him get back power over the years.

He would rather regard Shao Xi as a friend than as a courtier of another country.

"I know that you and I are destined not to be true friends, but I have no one to say to my heart except for my sister since I was a child, although you are a courtier of Jingyuan Kingdom, and I am the emperor of Southern Zhao Kingdom, but I still hope to be friends with you, even if it is only for one day. No matter what your purpose is for helping me, I want to believe that you are genuinely helping me, and since you have helped me, then you are my friend. I know that you have made such a complicated plan not only to help me take back the power in the hands of those two powerful ministers, but more importantly, to find out who is in your own court who has resentment, so this secret letter is still handed back to you, and if you are in trouble in Jingyuan Kingdom one day in the future, you will come to me, and I will keep you safe no matter what. ”

Maybe it's a relationship of similar age, maybe it's Shao Xi's unique personality charm, right? In short, Zhao Hongjin does regard Shao Xi as his friend, which is a very awkward thing for Shao Xi.

As Lao Wu said at the beginning, people treat you as a friend, but you use other people's kindness as a tool for yourself.

His plan was obviously to bring down Nan Zhao's court, but Zhao Hongjin didn't think about it in that direction at all, but simply thought that Shao Xi was trying to find out the rebels in Jingyuan's country.

This is the difference between sensibility and rationality, emotional people tend to see each other as good people, while rational people know that there are no good people in this world, including themselves.

Shao Xi took the secret letter handed back by Zhao Hongjin, put the letter in his arms, and didn't know how to reply to Zhao Hongjin's words for a while.

In his eyes, Zhao Hongjin is the emperor of Southern Zhao State, and he is the courtier of Jing Yuanguo, so he should protect his own interests, but at this time, Zhao Hongjin crossed his own interests with his interests, which made Shao Xi feel very uncomfortable.

He is not afraid of intrigue with others, digging holes and stumbling with each other, but he is most afraid of this kind of heart-digging sincerity, which will make him feel guilty, and he will feel that he is a vile and shameless villain who betrays his friends.

But I didn't even want to be friends with him, did I? Why do you act like you're doing something wrong?

"That...... Little Emperor, speaking of which, we are also friends, but our relationship between friends is more special, public is public, private is private! In short, everything I do must give priority to the interests of Jing Yuanguo, so you still have to watch out for me on weekdays and don't believe me too much, but aside from the interests of my family and country, we can still be very good friends. That's all I can do, and if I really have a deep relationship with you, won't I also become a traitor? ”

Zhao Hongjin understood what Shao Xi meant, and could only nod with a wry smile.

People say that it is very painful for men and women to ask for nothing, but for Zhao Hongjin, this kind of asking for friends is also painful.

obviously cherish each other, but because of their identities, they can't be too close, otherwise they will betray their own countries, which is ridiculous to say, but it is also the helplessness of reality.

"Alright! Let's not talk about friends yet. Now that your plan has reached this point, how can we get in touch with each other when you return to Jingyuan Kingdom in the future? ”

Shao Xi lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Zhao Hongjin: "Write a letter!" I think after I leave, I should know what to do to Han Zeng in your own heart. When we need to contact each other, it should be that I have already taken Han Zeng's incriminating evidence in my hands in Jingyuan Dynasty and need to hand it over to you, so that you can convict Han Zeng with this, so the first letter must have been sent by me on my own initiative. I will send my personal old servant to do this, and it will not be difficult for him to enter the palace and deliver the letter to you in secret, and then you will give him the reply, and he will bring it back to me. ”

"Okay, that's it, I hope to hear from you soon. Today's events are not small, and it is better that you should not stay with me for too long, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others. Let's go to the Pearl Palace before leaving! That girl in Hongmian has been talking to you since I returned to the palace yesterday, since you agreed to her conditions, if you don't fulfill it, she won't give up, and she will continue to make trouble. ”

Shao Xi sighed, this messy princess of Haizhu really had a headache.

This girl is not so annoying, but it makes Shao Xi feel that sometimes she can't communicate with her normally, and she has to make a big fuss with you first.

Maybe it's because her father died a little early, and her brother is busy with political affairs every day, so she uses this way to attract her brother's attention, but it's good for you to brush your sense of existence to find your own brother, what's the matter with me?

After leaving the imperial study, Shao Xi came to the Pearl Palace under the guidance of the eunuch, and just walked outside the door of the Cailuan Palace, he heard Zhao Hongmian's scolding from the hall, and the person who was scolded was himself.

"Shao Xi, you turtle bastard! Yesterday deceived me and ran away, and now you don't even show your head, you shrunken turtle doesn't count when you talk, you taught me the way to do it, but now you don't know where you died? Don't let this princess see you again, or she will lift your turtle shell and make you soup. You untrustworthy bastard, I curse you to choke on water, choke on eating, fall off the bed at night when you sleep, in short, if you don't come to see this princess, this princess will keep cursing you. Someone's coming! Go and tie me a little scarecrow with his name written on it, and my father will beat him with his shoes every day, beating him, a little man who doesn't count. ”

Shao Xi stood outside the door and listened, the sweat came down, my Nima is too vicious, right? Didn't you just go back to the palace with the little emperor yesterday? I didn't say I couldn't come! Why did you get angry with her like this in just one day? In just such a short period of time, she almost cursed herself with the most unfortunate thing in the world, is there something wrong with this little girl's mind?

When Shao Xi had a headache, the palace maid had already told Zhao Hongmian the news that Shao Xi had come to the Pearl Palace, and before the palace maid came out, a bench flew out of the door.

Shao Xi patted her chest, glad that she was lucky to escape, this girl is simply a crazy woman.

But just after Shao Xi finished rejoicing in his heart, another bench flew out of it, Shao Xi said in his heart, you have something wrong, right? Even if your Nanzhao Imperial Palace family has a big business, doesn't the bench cost money? Besides, why did you get so much effort from your little girl? Throw one after another!

"Hey! I said that you are not finished, you scold me if I don't come, you throw the bench and smash me when I come, and you still let me in? If you don't welcome me, I'll turn around and leave. It's so beautiful, why is a little girl so spicy? I'm here to teach you the method today, do you still want to learn it? If you don't learn, I'll leave now! ”

After speaking, Shao Xi turned around and walked towards the outside of the Pearl Palace, who can stand this little ancestor? It's better to hide as far as you can!

"Stop! Did Princess Ben allow you to go? Let this princess hit a few times to get angry. ”

I'll fuck your uncle! Are you still coming?
