During the day, the artificial lake is sparkling, and at night, the artificial lake is quiet and serene. A team of palace maids walked by the lakeside, and one of the palace maids did not know where to move, and the palace lamps on the lakeside promenade were lit one after another, embellishing the winding promenade with brilliance.

From the end of the corridor, two people came. The group of palace maids had already been ordered, and after inspecting the corridor, they quickly hid, for fear of disturbing the two of them and committing a serious crime.

The two were of the same age, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and both had a compelling temperament, but the difference was that one was standing and the other was sitting. Standing was a man with a long face, thin eyebrows, a wide mouth and earlobes. He is thin and not very eye-catching. This person has appeared before, once appeared in a wine shop in the capital with two men and two women, and heard the people talking about the killing of the Hangzhou bully and the corruption of the prefect during the Weifu patrol. He has only one identity, that is, the emperor.

The man seated was with eagle eyebrows, his skin was firm and shiny, and there was a strand of white hair on each side of his temples that was coiled together with the hair on the back of his head. He sat in a wheelchair, which was made of metal and beautifully shaped, and what was even more peculiar was that the wheelchair could move slowly forward without being pushed. dared to sit in front of the emperor, not only because of his inconvenience, but also because of his identity, he was not only the prince of Jing who was governed by the territory, but also the "king" among the top ten masters.

The emperor spoke: "King Jing, can't you hurry up in this wheelchair?

King Jing said: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to leave quickly, for fear of trespassing." ”

The emperor sneered and said: "Don't say how many trespasses you, the palace and subordinate city of King Jing, just say that this corridor dares to imitate the construction of the imperial city, and you can be judged for the crime of great rebellion." ”

King Jing looked up and saw that the corridor was a pair of pillars every two zhang apart. The pillars are exquisitely carved and the craftsmanship is exquisite. On each side of the pillar, there is a colorful painting. It is delicately painted with flowers and birds, landscapes and myths and legends, and the colors are bright and magnificent, which is not inferior to the promenade of the imperial city.

King Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows that Weichen's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he can only walk by the lake all day long, so he has spent some thought on this, so why should Your Majesty bother with Weichen?"

The emperor said, "If you just put your mind to it, it would be fine. He paused for a moment and said, "You're good at studying delicate plays, what have you been doing lately?"

King Jing said: "I recently made a special thing, it's very fun. ”

The emperor became interested and said, "What is it?"

King Jing said: "Wechen will show you." With that, he raised his hands, slapped his palms twice, and with two "pops, pops", the lights in the corridor went out in response, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.

The emperor was shocked, took two steps back, and said, "Zhao Xun, what are you going to do!"

King Jing clapped his palms twice in a row, and the lights in the corridor were lit up in turn.

Seeing that King Jing didn't seem to want to harm himself, the emperor eased his attitude and said, "King Jing, what are you doing?"

King Jing said coldly: "Zhao Chun, you still don't believe in this king." ”

The emperor said: "Bold Zhao Xun, you dare to call me by my name." ”

King Jing smiled: "Your Majesty, you still don't believe in Weichen." If Weichen wants to harm His Majesty, do you still need to spend such a week?"

The emperor said: "I know that you are excellent in martial arts, and I have heard others say that you are quite prestigious in the rivers and lakes, but without me, are you confident that you can sit firmly in this country?"

King Jing said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no talent for governing the country, even if you give me this country, I can't sit still." Wechen is only suitable for doing some delicate little toys to pass the time. Wechen is still self-aware. ”

The emperor snorted and said, "Your little playful act of clapping the lamp and turning off the lamp is still good." ”

King Jing said: "Your Majesty didn't come here to talk to Weichen about this." ”

At this time, the two had already walked to the first octagonal pavilion next to the corridor, where a lot of magnolia trees were planted.

The emperor stopped and said, "On my southern tour, one is to worship the heavens, and the other is to invite you back to Beijing. ”

King Jing also stopped, put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is already half a wasted person, and he can't do without this wheelchair." It's a tiring trip to the capital, and Weichen can't go. ”

The emperor said: "It is precisely because Aiqing suffers from a leg disease that I want you to go to the capital to enjoy happiness." ”

King Jing laughed "haha" and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty is still not worried about the ministers, and is afraid that the ministers will divide one side and support the army for self-respect." ”

The emperor simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "Now the military power of all prefectures, counties and counties in the country is all regulated by the central government, and only here you need the nod of King Jing." What do you make other princes think like this, and how can I feel at ease. ”

King Jing sneered: "Other princes, hmph, they are also worthy! It's just that they rely on their reincarnation skills to get a title." He looked at the emperor, and Zhao Chunxin said in his heart, aren't you also talking about me! King Jing continued: "Isn't it that I only have two ways now, either to hand over the military power, or to return to Beijing with you?" Then he shook his head and said, "No, there is only one way, hand over the military power and you go back to Beijing." ”

The emperor was not afraid of him, stared at him and said, "Not bad!"

King Jing repeated: "Hand over the military power and return to Beijing with you?!" he repeated as he involuntarily emitted bursts of oppressive aura from all around him, causing the surrounding magnolia trees to shake non-stop.

How could the emperor have such an internal force as him, and was forced to retreat a few steps by his internal force. But Zhao Chun, as an emperor, looks down on the world, although he does not have such skills, but the domineering of the king is not inferior to Zhao Xun, the king of Jing, and said without fear: "Yes, I just want you to hand over the military power and return to Beijing to recuperate." ”

King Jing suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How is Li Xianzhong doing?"

Li Xianzhong is the head of the forbidden city, the chief person in charge of ensuring the safety of the imperial family, and Li Shaoxi's father. The emperor said: "Be conscientious and abide by your duties." ”

King Jing said, "Why didn't you come with Your Majesty this time?"

The emperor said: "I ordered him to stay in the capital to guard the imperial family." Let his son, Yipin with a knife to escort Li Shaoxi, to participate in the sacrifice ceremony with me. ”

King Jing said: "Why didn't I see him?"

The emperor said in his heart, the fifth prince Zhao Jing and the princess of Changping Zhao Ying had been dragged out to play by the princess Zhao Wei, and Li Shaoxi also followed, but fortunately he also followed, so he was a little relieved. He said, "I have other arrangements for him. Then he said, "King Jing, what do you want to say?"

King Jing said: "Your Majesty, now the rivers and lakes are extremely powerful, and heroes from all walks of life and green forest characters are emerging in an endless stream, I am worried that the father and son surnamed Li will not be able to hold the forbidden city." ”

The emperor's heart moved, and the prime minister Zhang Jun, the generals Lu Yihao and Han Shengzhong all mentioned some things on the rivers and lakes to him. They said that there are several sects on the rivers and lakes that have a large number of people and great power, and there are many people with superb martial arts, and one person can be worthy of an army, which may be a major hidden danger in the future. He said, "Do you want to defend the capital for me?"

King Jing smiled: "What kind of city am I going to guard as a waste." I'm just worried that some people in the rivers and lakes have a whim, want to be the emperor for a few days, and then sneak into the capital and harm Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Chun pretended to be angry and said, "Do you talk like that!" and then said: "Then I have to let you, a master, go back to Beijing to escort you." ”

King Jing said with a smile: "Weichen has a slight reputation in the rivers and lakes. It's not as good as this, Your Majesty will not accept the military power of the micro-ministers, and the micro-ministers will promise not to rebel, and at the same time protect the safety of the royal family. ”

Zhao Chun didn't speak, and came out of the octagonal pavilion and continued to walk along the corridor.

King Jing saw him hesitate, drove a wheelchair to catch up, and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen knows that Your Majesty is the one who governs the country, and Wechen can't hold the country even if he fights the country, so Wechen will never rebel." But others don't know as much as Weichen, in case they sneak into the imperial city and hurt the dragon body, it won't be good. ”

The emperor still didn't speak, so when the two of them walked to the second octagonal pavilion, Zhao Chun stopped and said, "Zhao Xun, you don't want to go back to Beijing, but you definitely can't do it if you don't hand over the military power, I can agree to the rest." ”

King Jing knew that the emperor had made up his mind, and if he did not hand over the military power, he would completely tear his face. But the emperor could grant him other requests, which was also in line with King Jing's purpose. King Jing said: "Your Majesty has ever heard of the 'Qiankun Dao Public Opinion Array'?"

Zhao Chun was stunned for a moment and said, "This is a set of formations?"

King Jing said: "It's not one set, it's eighty-one sets." The so-called 'all kinds of formations are not out of the world, and exhausting the numbers and reasoning is not in the Tao'. This 'Qiankun Dao Array' is all-encompassing. He realized that he had lost his words and had leaked too much information, so he stopped suddenly.

The emperor was alert to his absence, and asked, "What do you want this thing for?"

King Jing said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not seen this set of formations, but has only heard of it. But Wei Chen thought that if there was really any mystery in this formation, the scattered people were likely to threaten the safety of the royal family. ”

The emperor said: "What do you want me to use my national strength to collect the 'Qiankun Dao Array'?"

King Jing said: "Weichen is dedicated to the safety of the royal family." ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I have to think about this matter again. ”

King Jing knew that the emperor was moved, so he stopped talking. Both sides had their own thoughts, so when they walked to the third octagonal pavilion, they had nothing to say.
