Chapter 225 Leave bait for good fishing
The internal attendant led Song Li and went straight to the internal affairs warehouse located on the periphery of the palace, and turned a few corridors, which was the courtyard where the internal affairs library was located. The Holy Emperor was standing in front of the Kumen, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Song Li bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Holy Emperor, I still let you wait for your little nephew here, how embarrassing it is." ”
Song Xingtian smiled and said: "You have made such a great contribution, Uncle Holy Emperor is waiting for you for a while, what is the matter? ”
Song Li thought to himself that it was no wonder that the second uncle could ascend to the throne, he did know how to understand and employ people better than Prince Zhong, and he was more able to win people's hearts. Regardless of whether it was a sincere or political ploy, at least he was willing to do it, and it seemed natural.
"If it weren't for the Holy Emperor's uncle's strategizing and the ability of the people he sent, the little nephew alone would not have been able to complete the task no matter what. You are equivalent to a marshal in the middle command, and the little nephew is at most a general who charges in front, and in the final analysis, it is still the credit of the Holy Emperor, Uncle You. ”
Song Li gave the Holy Emperor a big hat that was not too big or small, and since ancient times, he has accompanied the king like a tiger, and in the hearts of the superiors, he is most taboo to be a courtier's pampering and arrogant, and his merits are high. So when it's time to keep it low, be sure to keep it low.
Even though he knew that it was a sycophant, the Holy Emperor was still very happy. It is true that he did not give Song Li any specific battle plan, but more than ten Ouchi masters and the Golden Feather Knight Battalion were indeed sent out by him, so it is not far-fetched to say that he has a share of the credit.
The most important thing is that Song Li was young, and after making meritorious contributions, he did not show untimely arrogance, he knew how to be restrained and humble, which made the Holy Emperor happy.
The courtiers who are not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, can do things, and are very modest are the favorite of the superiors.
"Let's go, Uncle Holy Emperor will fulfill his promise and take you to pick the Dark Gold Stone. Song Xingtian motioned to Director Ku to open the vault door.
After the two heavy iron doors "creaked" open, the Holy Emperor walked in first, and Song Li followed behind, looking around curiously.
It is rumored that the treasury of national treasures is the richest place in the world. It is a place where rare treasures accumulated over the past 300 years of the empire have been founded, and everyone's eyes light up when they talk about it after dinner. It's a pity that no one has ever entered such a place except for the Holy Emperor and the Treasury Director, so everyone can't say why.
What disappointed Song Li was that the internal affairs warehouse was not as splendid as the legend, in fact, it was no different from an ordinary warehouse, the dusty room was full of dusty boxes, and as for what was in the box, it was unknown.
"Don't you feel disappointed? Do you think the Internal Affairs Treasury is nothing more than that?" the Holy Emperor noticed Song Li's expression and said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's a little different from what I imagined. Song Li did not hide his opinions.
"Where the outside is shiny, the inside may be empty or dirty, and the inconspicuous place may be something else. Whether it's a person or a thing, most of the time. If the edge is too exposed, it may not be a good thing. When you grow up, you'll be able to experience it more profoundly. ”
Song Li felt that the Holy Emperor's words seemed to have another deep meaning, and the more he chewed carefully, the more he felt that it made sense. Is the Holy Emperor reminding himself to pay attention to reining in his edge?
Under the guidance of the treasurer, the two of them came to the chest dedicated to the black gold stone. These chests are twin chain keyholes that require two keys to open, one in the hands of the Treasurer and the other in the hands of the Holy Emperor.
Only when the two keys converge can the chest be opened. If someone wants to steal the treasure, they have to steal both keys, which is too difficult.
Director Ku first put the key **** in his hand, twisted it clockwise, and then heard a "click" in the keyhole, and then the Holy Emperor inserted the key in his hand into another keyhole, and continued to twist it clockwise before opening the box.
The black stone lay quietly inside, pitch black as ink, and the surface exuded a brilliant luster. The color is black like this, and it can have such a dazzling luster, which is indeed not ordinary.
"The Ugin stones are all here, and I promise to reward you with twenty dollars, whatever you want. The Holy Emperor smiled slightly and waved his hand generously.
"Really, that little nephew picks up a big pick, don't you mind?" Song Li grinned.
"You don't joke! I said that if you take it casually, it will naturally count. You pick. "The Holy Emperor is happy, if it is an ordinary person, even if it is something that the Holy Emperor rewards him, it is estimated that he will pick up the smallest one. But Song Li is different, he is so real, in front of the Holy Emperor, others dare not say it, he dares to say it, and others dare not do it, he dares to do it. What was surprising was that the Holy Emperor found that not only did he not hate such Song Li, but he appreciated it a little.
Truthfulness is sometimes a valuable quality, especially for someone like the Holy Emperor who is accustomed to seeing hypocrisy.
For a rich and handsome person like the Holy Emperor, Song Li would never be polite to him, he really picked up the twenty stones that were relatively large and moved them out.
Seeing that the Holy Emperor and the Treasury Director were both looking at him with a strange look, Song Li spread his hands and said innocently: "You asked me to pick up the big one, and as soon as the Holy Emperor's golden mouth opens, it is the Holy Decree." If I take the small one, won't it be tantamount to resisting the decree?"
Director Ku glanced at the Holy Emperor, shook his head and smiled, "An official like Lord Song has never seen a lowly position. However, it is very special and unforgettable. ”
"Hahaha, I often say that most officials are monsters with a part of their personality castrated, especially when facing their superiors. At least, Song Li is not such a person. He is very true to what he thinks, so he is different. "The Holy Emperor has another interpretation of the Treasurer's words.
Song Lixin said that your personality has only been castrated, Lao Tzu is definitely 100 percent of the masters! These people are funny, others dare not take their things, they scold others for their incomplete personality, and Song Li desperately stuffed it into his pocket, and they also praised Song Li for being special. Song Li didn't expect that even people like the Holy Emperor were quite cheap.
I knew that I would take the largest of those pieces, and one would top the rest of the dozen pieces. However, he understood that if he really did that, the Holy Emperor would be unhappy again. There is a problem of grasping a degree in the middle, and the twenty stones that Song Li took were completely within the range that the Holy Emperor could bear. If he takes more, it is estimated that he will feel distressed.
"I'll be the Holy Emperor's Uncle, and I'm praising me. Song Li honestly and unceremoniously accepted the praise of the Holy Emperor.
"Of course that's a compliment to you. I'm going to keep it that way, and I'm going to be unhappy if you become like those hypocrites. The Holy Emperor smiled.
"It's said that it's difficult to be an official, but I think it's quite simple. Wouldn't it be better to be honest?" Song Li grinned.
"Not everybody is qualified to be themselves. The Holy Emperor smiled and said, "Only those who are really capable can do it." ”
It's a bit brutal, but it's true. Song Li felt that what the Holy Emperor said was really very reasonable! Why does everyone want to become stronger? Because only when you are strong enough, so strong that no one can suppress you, can you do what you want to do as you like. Make everyone follow the rules you set. Otherwise, you have to live by the rules made by others.
Song Li didn't want to become the kind of monster whose personality was castrated, he wanted to be himself for the rest of his life.
Becoming stronger, becoming stronger, and becoming the top of the pyramid of this continent is Song Li's biggest goal in this life. Now, he is following such footprints, step by step, and going up steadily.
"How do I have to bring such a big pile of stones back?" Song Li touched his head and pretended to say. Of course, he could use the Heavenly Black Ring to put it back, but this thing can't be exposed for the time being.
"You don't have to worry about this, let Director Ku send a team of guards to transport you back to the Ming Palace. The Holy Emperor said with a smile.
"Wechen is happy to serve Lord Song. "Chief Ku Si is full of spring breeze, everyone can see that Song Li is currently a celebrity around the Holy Emperor, this is a good opportunity.
"Then there's Master Lauku. Song Li thanked him.
Everything was packed up, and the chief of the treasury sent two teams of guards to escort a car to send twenty pieces of black gold stones to the Ming Palace. The Holy Emperor led Song Li to his imperial study, and he had other things to discuss with Song Li.
"Sit down, there's no need to be too formalistic in private. After the Holy Emperor took his seat, he motioned for Song Li to sit down on his lower left head.
"I'm not going to be polite to Uncle Saint Emperor. Song Li sat on the chair and said that it was comfortable.
The Holy Emperor was also accustomed to Song Li's informal style in private, smiled slightly, and said, "Pan Shaofeng's matter, well done. What's next for you?"
Song Li grinned and said, "Uncle Holy Emperor is wise and wise, and he must have been confident for a long time, do you still need a little nephew?"
The Holy Emperor pointed at him, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "You kid is a slippery head. If I ask you to say it, you can say it boldly, and you don't have to worry so much. ”
Song Li thought to himself, if I was too busy to talk about it, wouldn't I steal the limelight from you? As a subordinate, you must always be humble to the big boss, otherwise there will be no good life in the future.
"I'm just talking about it, and I don't know if it's right or not. (http://)。 Everything is still subject to the decision of the Holy Emperor's uncle. Song Li said: "With Pan Shaofeng staging such a play in the Council Palace, Prince Zhong and they probably can't sit still." They must be worried that Pan Shaofeng will leak the secret, so I speculate that they will find a way to kill Pan Shaofeng next! Therefore, Pan Shaofeng has now become a big bait, as for how to use this bait to catch a big fish, Uncle Holy Emperor must know better than me. ”
The Holy Emperor twisted his beard and smiled, what Song Li conceived basically coincided with him. Although Pan Shaofeng committed a capital crime, he must not be killed now, not only can he not be killed, but he must also protect himself. It is foreseeable that the people of the Loyal Prince's Mansion will definitely spare no effort to send someone to kill him. As long as Pan Shaofeng is alive, the killers of Prince Zhong's Mansion will continue to pounce, even if they know that it is a moth to put out the fire, they will still pounce without hesitation!
With Pan Shaofeng as bait, you will definitely be able to catch a lot of big fish in Prince Zhong's Mansion, so that you can not only gradually wear out the vitality of Prince Zhong's Mansion like a grinding plate, but also master more handles. As long as one of the killers recruited the mastermind behind the scenes, they would have evidence to move Prince Zhong.
