Chapter 1292: Blinded by Greed

Dragon-stealing world, the capital of gods.

The imperial edict was quickly sent outside the palace and finally fell into Wang Jiran's hands.

Originally, according to the historical trajectory, Wang Jiran's family should have died in a war after breaking off the engagement with the Zhao family. Only he survived and deeply realized the importance of strength.

So he recruited soldiers and horses, started a great cause, and became a king. At the peak, he even occupied a state. Finally, he surrendered to Cao Zheng and was reused.

In this life, after he hurriedly left Shi County, he rested for a while. The imperial edict came down just after he started recruiting soldiers.

The general content inside is that he heard that Wang Jiran was talented, and the emperor knew it. On a whim, he wanted to see him.

In short, the content inside is very far-fetched.

After all, what reputation can he, Wang Jiran, have? !

If we really talk about reputation, it is probably because Zhao Cheng had just taken Wucheng and the destiny was revealed, but Wang Jiran was a little blind and didn't recognize the real dragon, so he missed the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step.

After all, as a businessman, the peak of a businessman is probably to seek a country.

Although he felt strange in his heart, Wang Jiran still dragged his family into the capital of gods, without any idea of ​​escaping halfway.

He was a smart man, and knew that if the emperor was angry with him because of Zhao Cheng's matter and wanted to kill him, it would not be so troublesome at all. As long as an imperial edict came down, not to mention his whole family, even the nine clans, one by one, would have nowhere to run.

Although the chaos is now obvious, in some small matters, the local tyrants are still willing to give the court a face.

After entering Beijing, the young emperor really met him and left a deep impression on him.

After the meeting, Wang Jiran's most profound thought was probably, is it true that Da Cang has not yet been eliminated? ! In such a time of crisis, a king like this was born. I am afraid that even the Great Cang Taizu in the history books was no more than this in his era of striving for governance.

Later, Wang Jiran was not directly entrusted with important tasks. He was just a marginal figure, occasionally entering and leaving the palace and chatting with the emperor.

However, Wang Jiran knew that it was not that the emperor did not want to use him, but that he could not use him.

He had no foundation now. If he was directly entrusted with important tasks, the only outcome would be that it would not take long for him to have many more crimes. In the end, even the emperor could not protect him.

But he knew that the emperor would definitely use him.

Although the emperor was not old now, he was definitely not an ordinary child. He had the dangers of mountains and rivers in his heart. Therefore, he was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly, and at the same time, he was slowly thinking about the factions in the court and the network of relationships in the capital.

At this moment, when Wang Jiran took the imperial edict, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"I, your servant, kowtow to thank the heaven for its grace!"

At the door of the mansion, Wang Jiran prostrated himself before the messenger from the palace who came to announce the imperial edict. After a long time, he raised his head and took the imperial edict with both hands.

At the same time, the eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict also helped Wang Jiran up and whispered, "Sir Wang, His Majesty asked you to do it. With His Majesty here, the sky will not fall!"

"Take this token. If His Majesty comes in person, take this sword and kill first and then report. The imperial power has granted!"

While speaking, the eunuch behind him also brought the things on the tray to Wang Jiran.

When Wang Jiran saw this, he kowtowed to thank the heaven for its grace again, and even, unconsciously, he was already in tears.

However, when he entered his room and closed the doors and windows, Wang Jiran's expression suddenly changed. He was no longer moved, but solemn.

I was moved to tears before, but it was just a show. No one believed it, and it didn't hurt. If someone believed it, it would be a profit, which was a good thing without any cost.

As for tears, what's the value of them? !

"This matter is not easy to handle..."

Wang Jiran murmured.

What about His Majesty, the sky will not fall? Whoever believes this is stupid.

If he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he might be moved to death and even willing to die for the emperor.

But now, as an old fox, he is not so stupid.

"Since ancient times, the emperor has been different from the Taoists. He has suppressed the Taoists again and again. Now he must use them, but he must be treated with respect and power. However, it is difficult to grasp how much power and how little power. If he is too powerful, he will offend the emperor and the civil and military officials in the court. But if he is too light, he will offend the Taoists again."

"In the current situation in the world, Your Majesty wants to use the power of the Taoists to reverse the situation. For the Taoists, he must use them. If he offends the Taoists, he may kill me after he has used me up to appease the Taoists..."

"However, it is precisely because it is difficult to handle that this matter has fallen into my hands. Otherwise, the court will gather the smartest people in the world, and none of them are stupid. If this matter is done well, it will be a great achievement. It's just that the risk is too great and not worth it, so no one wants to get involved."

"If I do this well, my subsequent career will definitely be smooth sailing."

Wang Jiran's thoughts turned in his mind, and his eyes became more and more profound.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the study.

"Come in."

Wang Jiran frowned slightly.

"Master, it's not good, the young lady is sick again..."

The servant pushed the door open, thumped, and knelt down directly.

Hearing this, Wang Jiran frowned even deeper.

Ever since the news about Zhao Cheng's capture of Wucheng spread, Wang Mingwei began to have worries and vaguely complained about him.

When Zhao Cheng succeeded Huang Tiandao, Wang Mingwei became even more resentful towards him.

Until Zhao Chengnan became king, the conflict between father and daughter completely broke out.

Wang Mingwei had been complaining about him, saying that he should not have broken off the engagement. If he had not broken off the engagement, she would be the princess now, but she did not remember at all that she herself had contributed to this matter.

Therefore, Wang Jiran was also angry and slapped Wang Mingwei directly. As a result, this slap actually drove Wang Mingwei crazy, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy.

…

More than half a month later, a group of Taoist monks came to Beijing, and the court held a grand water and land ceremony for this purpose.

That night, several immortals entered the palace at night and left the palace carrying the imperial edict.

The intention is to pardon the divine sword according to the imperial decree, so as to offset part of the suppression of Qi, so that several immortals can work together to stab the devil!

Liu Guangzheng naturally wanted to use the power of Taoists to develop industry, so as to explode the army and achieve crushing force.

But Taoists all have their own ideas, especially those immortals, each of whom has his own "Tao".

For the sake of profit, they can help Longting, but they will never become the emperor's dog.

In the final analysis, although there are interests involved, the relationship between the Taoist and the emperor is still one of mutual use.

"As expected, there is no king, no father, and lawlessness!"

"If the demon is really so easy to deal with, how could it be possible for those immortals and Buddhas in the upper realm to make such a big noise?!"

"Those Taoists would not have thought of this under normal circumstances, but they still insist on doing so. It is just that the benefits are so great that they make them stupid. Any favors, humiliations, indifference and indifference to fame and wealth are all fake. The desires of Taoists are actually the desires of all living beings. most!"

When the Taoists walked away, Liu Guangzheng murmured in a low voice.
