Chapter 242: Loyalty by Coercion
It's just that Liu Yang is easy to handle, and the grand duke is a little difficult to fool.
After thinking about it, Ji Xingzhi decided to let the Grand Duke follow her, and then find a way to avoid the Grand Duke, anyway, as long as she is coquettish and cute, if she can't cry again, the Grand Duke will definitely be soft-hearted.
After making up her mind, Ji Xingzhi announced that Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang came in and interrogated the origin of the two.
Zhou Zheng is completely a child who grew up in the countryside, with four older brothers, because the family is so poor, they are too poor to eat, there is no way, his parents had to sell him in exchange for money to support the family, Zhou Zheng has not been home to see it when he is so old, it is estimated that he hates his parents in his heart.
And Wu Fang has a bit of a background, a native of Shuizhou, his father Wu Xun was once ranked among the three dukes, and his family background is illustrious, and he is a well-known second generation of officials and the second generation of wealth.
It's a pity that Wu Xun was convicted of disobeying the order of the Emperor of Shuizhou, and was actually sentenced to be beheaded all over the house.
Hearing Wu Fang's life experience, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows, is there something wrong with this emperor of Shuizhou Kingdom? ?
Ji Xingzhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly lowered her eyes, with a faint melancholy on her face, and there was also a thick confusion in her voice, confused about the future: "Can I trust you?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang looked at each other, and finally knelt on the ground tacitly, and arched his hand: "My subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the emperor!" ”
Ji Xingzhi's expression changed, her face was cold, looking at the two people kneeling in front of her to express her position, Ji Xingzhi didn't let them get up, but just said to herself: "I once saved a rare poisonous snake, kept it by my side, and took care of it in every way, for fear that it would be harmed. One day, I reached out to touch it, but it bit me, and the poisonous snake that bit its owner was useless to keep, so it was better to kill it than to let it go back and become someone else's minions.
So I ordered the skin of the snake to be peeled off, and little by little from the tail of the snake upwards, to be chopped into a puree, and fed to a dog who was always barking at me.
After the dog was poisoned, I ordered someone to save it, and from then on, the dog did not dare to make a sound when he saw me again. ”
After Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang listened, their faces changed in unison, and their expressions were serious and solemn.
When the emperor told them this story, he was nothing more than doubting their loyalty, and the superiors were always very suspicious.
Zhou Zheng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, your subordinates will never betray the emperor, if you lie about it, you should not die well." ”
Wu Fang was not far behind and said: "The same is true for subordinates. ”
Ji Xingzhi nodded with satisfaction, and forced Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang to be loyal to her, so that the loyalty she gained would not last long, and it was easy to be artificially shaken, but if she had the heart, it would not be difficult to recover these two.
"In that case, I am relieved. There is a task entrusted to you right now, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and if there is the slightest leak, you must know the consequences. Ji Xingzhi looked at Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang, her eyes were slightly cold, with an irresistible momentum.
Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang were shocked again, knowing that this little emperor was not simple, they never thought that this pampered and well-fed child who was less than eight years old had already made the two of them tremble just by his momentum, you know, as the royal guards, the courage of the two of them was very human, but they were easily defeated in front of a child.
For the first time, it was not because of identity, but because of the momentum that obeyed the young emperor.
