The Treacherous Minister Who Sold His Teacher for Fame (9) (The Treacherous Minister or the One Who Endured Humiliation? (Two in One...)

In the distant capital, thinking that Liu Shengyan would meet Huang Renshen soon, Ji Changze drew a picture and straightened up to look at it.

This picture was nothing but the map of the capital.

This was not a memory found in the original owner's mind, but a map drawn by Ji Changze after he had walked around the capital in the past few days, inside and out, up and down.

Because of this, he had taken a few days off from court recently.

No one impeached him.

Although being a villain has a bad reputation, it also has its advantages, that is, everyone knows that he, Ji Changze, is not easy to mess with, such as some officials with a good reputation in the court, such as Hu Zifang's grandfather, Lord Hu, who is highly praised among literati and is also a very respected old man in the court.

But it is precisely because of this that if a political enemy points his nose at him and scolds him, he can only scold back in a more elegant way at most.

It is not okay to hit someone, and it is even more impossible to retaliate afterwards.

Ji Changze is different.

He is well-known for his vindictiveness, pettiness, and vicious means. If someone accidentally stepped on his shoes, he would send them to exile.

Over the years, Ji Changze has demonstrated to his colleagues in the court what it means to break your wings if you pull out a hair from me. Except for Liu Shengyan, who is lucky and a fool, no one would impeach Ji Changze for such a small matter.

They are quite good at comforting themselves.

It is just right that Ji Changze does not attend the court. It is better for him, a traitor who can only cause chaos in the court, to never attend the court and not cause trouble for people.

The emperor did not care much, he was furious.

Because he had just visited his personal guard camp, and the scene he saw was not satisfactory.

The cause of the incident was because Zhou Quanxiao was chopped off by him last time, and the emperor was thinking about who should be in charge of the 70,000 soldiers in the imperial city.

The foundation of the Wen Dynasty was very good. The emperor's father, the emperor's father's father, and a series of ancestors all did a good job, worked hard and diligently.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have been so desperate, and the Wen Dynasty could have lasted so long.

The reason why no one dared to invade the Wen Dynasty was that it had attached great importance to military since its founding. Of course, this emphasis on military does not mean that the words of the generals in the court count, but that the military power representing the military value must be held in the hands of the emperor's trusted people.

The people trusted by the emperor in the past had this style: loyal and faithful, devoted to His Majesty and the Wen Dynasty until their death.

When it came to their generation of emperors.

The style was quite different.

Whoever was weak could win, and whoever was the least capable was the most likely.

The reason was; even if the military power was in the hands of the other party, he would not have the courage to rebel.

At first glance, it seemed quite reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it was all perverse.

As the emperor's confidant, you can be a waste, but as the leader of so many soldiers, you are a waste who can do nothing but eat, drink, play and enrich yourself. What will become of the soldiers under you?

But the emperor would not think of this level.

Anyway, no one comes to fight in Wen Dynasty. The reason for keeping these soldiers is just because of the rules set by the ancestors. If it is not that this rule cannot be broken, the emperor does not want to waste money on so many people.

The emperors of all dynasties were very gentle to the 70,000 soldiers guarding the imperial city. After all, they are their last wall.

This generation of emperors with genetic mutations is more bizarre.

He looked down on these soldiers very much. He even had a headache when he thought of so many people eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. He wished he could find an opportunity to let them all die on the battlefield and not eat so much money a day.

So, as a "stepfather", there is also a superior who does everything he can to enrich himself. It is conceivable how these soldiers live.

They didn't want to go on like this, but being a deserter was a capital crime, so they could only live the most difficult days in this most prosperous capital, waiting for the day when they would starve to death or freeze to death.

The emperor didn't like them in the first place. This time, in order to find a new person to control 70,000 personal soldiers, he rarely had a sense of career and went to the camp to see these personal soldiers.

Then he saw a bunch of people who were listless, skinny, and had no spirit at all, and looked like they couldn't even hold a knife steadily.

He almost wrote disgust on his face.

Count on such people to protect me?

If there was anything, he might as well commit suicide.

But unfortunately, not only could he not disband these people on the spot, but he had to continue to allocate military pay to support them, and find a suitable leader for them, and this person must rely on him very much, just like Zhou Quanxiao, who couldn't do without him and could only rely on his confidants.

Who else?

The emperor thought about it, and the first face that flashed in his mind was Ji Changze.

But soon, he quickly got rid of this face.

Ji Changze couldn't do it.

Zhou Quanxiao is a complete fool, but Ji Changze is a smart man. The emperor is most reluctant to hand over the military power to a smart person.

But who else can make him feel at ease except Ji Changze?

Otherwise, let Ji Changze work for a few years first, and if he is seen to have any rebellious intentions, he will be killed.

Ji Changze has been in power in the court for many years, and there should be a lot of family wealth in his mansion. When the time comes, he can make a fortune like Zhou Quanxiao.

But... he still doesn't want to hand over the military power to a too smart person.

Ji Changze knows exactly what the emperor is thinking.

Their emperor is both incompetent and overjoyed. It’s not that he doesn’t know what’s right or wrong, but he knows it but doesn’t care. Of course, he also knows that people in the world care about this, so he will skillfully shift the blame after doing something wrong.

It can be said that he is a very rational scumbag.

If there were no emergencies, the emperor would not hand over military power to Ji Changze, a man with greater power in the court.

Ji Changze was not anxious at all.

As the saying goes, go for it if you have the chance, and go for it even if you don't have the chance to create opportunities.

He lowered his head, looked at the map of the capital on the table, reached out and tapped the location of the imperial city, and smiled.

"Fuquan, go and invite Mr. Hu to come. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him, and then call all the adults who are good friends with me."

Fuquan agreed and immediately drove to Hu's house.

As the only Miaomiao of this generation in the Hu family, Hu Hu Fang has a huge courtyard and countless servants who care about him. He has always been more comfortable than anyone else at home, but today, he has been huddled in bed and refused to come out.

The servants gathered around the bed and coaxed him to come out with gentle voices: "Master, please come out. I have handed over Master Ji's post."

"Yes, young master, now that you are awake, don't stay in bed."

Beard Fang wrapped himself into a thick cocoon, buried his head in the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "If I don't go, just say I'm sick. I'm too sick to get out of bed."

"How can you curse yourself like this? Master, please get up quickly. If you don't go, I'm afraid Master Ji will come to find you in person just like last time. Then you will regret it even more."

Bearded Fang in the quilt: "..."

He clenched the corners of the quilt and burst into tears.

I don't know what's wrong with Ji Changze. Ever since he accidentally heard the other party threatening the eunuch in charge last time, this guy has announced that they are "good friends".

Not only is he just a superficial person, but when we get along with him on weekdays, it seems like we really treat him as a good friend.

We would go with him in the next court, and we would go with him when we met in the previous court. Occasionally we would go out for a few meals, and even Ji Changze would drag him along to listen in on whatever plots and intrigues Ji Changze discussed with other members of the Discipline Party.

His father in the mansion was very angry about this and felt that he was clinging to a villain. The last time he heard that Ji Changze was coming, he came to drive him away angrily. He was quietly encouraging his father when he heard Ji Changze's few words and scared his father away.

Grandpa may have been able to avoid being disappointed when he met Ji Changze, but he had always been a Buddhist and had no reaction after hearing this.

The second uncle in the mansion who had never been interested in court affairs and only enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun every day was very happy to hear this. He said that although Ji Changze had a bad reputation in the court, he was so powerful that Hu Hu could become friends with him, at least in the short term. There are indispensable benefits.

Bearded Fang did feel the benefits.

Ever since Ji Changze introduced him to the Disciplinarians, many people in the court would nod their heads when they saw him from a distance. Several shops under his name were also given the green light, and many officials even asked their servants to stay away when buying things. Came to his shop to buy some on the way.

While out and about, many people came up to chat with me.

Even his cousin, many good people have come to inquire recently.

Bearded Fang: "..."

He originally thought that after he and Ji Changze developed such a good relationship, everyone would yell at him when he went out.

As a result, not only did I not experience any disadvantages, I also experienced so many benefits.

I can't blame so many officials throughout the ages for losing themselves in money. It feels good to be sought after wherever you go.

but! He must not fall!

He is grandpa's grandson! ! The eldest grandson of the Hu family.

How could you give up on yourself just because of this sugar-coated idea, indulge in it, and discuss matters with those from the Discipline Party!

Can't!

Absolutely not! !

Not to mention that Ji Changze sent someone to call him today, even if Ji Changze came in person to chop him to death and looked at him with sinister eyes, he would never compromise!

We must fight to the end! ! !

The servant came to report again.

"Master, the person sent by the Ji Mansion said that Master Ji said that if the young master is unwilling to go, he will come to invite the young master himself."

Bearded Fang: "..."

"It doesn't matter if he comes, how can I still be afraid of him? How can I be afraid of him?"

Half an hour later, Beard Fang knelt down on his mat with a numb face, surrounded by a circle of people, listening quietly and sadly to their talk.

"You've been so arrogant with your sharp tongue recently! My lord, you've only been here for a few days, but you look so proud and arrogant all day long. He even insulted a small official in public. It's simply too much!"

Um? ?

Suddenly I heard such righteous words, and after watching so many times, I could only hear "Sir, who are we going to do this time?" "Sir, you see this is the filial piety of the people below" "That xxx last time was really hard to watch. It's pleasing to the eye, my lord, why don't we give him a stumbling block?" Beard Fang suddenly became energetic.

I don't know how Ji Changze recruited these people. They were good court officials and they were just like the students in the school.

He still remembers that when he went to the Imperial College, there were many students there who formed groups, and this was what they would discuss together all day long.

As for why the bearded party knew...

Because his grandfather was a great scholar and came from a family of officials, those people felt that he was one of their own, and they would not shy away from bringing him in to watch every time.

Husband Fang, who didn't want to hear these nonsense at all, burst into tears.

What sin did he commit? Why does he always encounter such a thing?

However...

The people of the Ji Party are domineering, but they will stand up for innocent officials in private, which is unexpected.

"That sharp mouth is really hateful, sir! We must teach him a lesson!"

Well, very good.

Unexpectedly, the people of the Ji Party can't stand such bullying. Hu Zifang feels that he has changed his mind about the people of the Ji Party a little bit.

He changed his mind, and felt a little guilty about his behavior of listening quietly on the surface but actually complaining crazily in his heart. He coughed awkwardly and joined in.

"I also think that the sharp mouth's behavior is really inappropriate. How can he humiliate a small official in public? Who gave him the right."

A person of the Ji Party immediately nodded and praised: "That's right! Brother Hu is right! In my Wen Dynasty, except for His Majesty, only our Lord Ji can do this!"

Hu Zifang: "Yes, so... um??"

Um? ? ? Um? ? ?

No? !

So you are not unhappy that someone humiliated a minor official.

You are unhappy that the person who humiliated a minor official is not Ji Changze?

What a real nest of treacherous ministers this is.

He was dumbfounded as the rest of the Ji party members quickly reached a consensus, and each of them expressed their opinions indignantly.

"Who does he think he is? He is just a second-rank official with no ability at all. If it weren't for Your Majesty, would he be able to sit in his current position? He has been in the limelight for a few days and he doesn't know who he is. He even dares to snatch the rights of our adults."

"For more than ten years, only Master Ji can humiliate people in public in the court. Where did he get the courage to do this? Bah!"

"My Lord! We must teach him a lesson! Otherwise, others will think we are afraid of him."

Hu Zifang sat in the crowd, feeling that he had already died.

Today's stimulation is really too great.

Ji Changze was not surprised that his subordinates all reacted in this way.

As a sycophant who didn't need to do any serious work but only needed some obedient subordinates to help him do some inconvenient things, the original owner knew that he was not irreplaceable beside the emperor, just like Zhou Quanxiao, who looked so glorious, but in fact, the emperor turned his face faster than anyone else.

He didn't want to be replaced, so when looking for subordinates, he naturally wouldn't look for those who followed the same path as him.

But they were not those scheming people, and they had to be loyal to him, so that he could have his way. In the end, the original owner's subordinates were just a group of yes-men.

They only needed to cheer for the original owner as the people who waved flags and shouted behind him. If they wanted to be promoted, they didn't need to use their brains. If they wanted to sit in a high position, they didn't need to manage it themselves. The original owner would naturally arrange it for them.

Of course, he certainly didn't arrange positions for them out of kindness just to have a harmonious relationship with his subordinates.

He was not an octopus, and it was impossible for him to occupy more than a dozen positions in the court by himself, so naturally he needed his people to sit in the position he wanted to control.

They were called subordinates, but in fact they were just puppets.

He said one, they would never say two, they would follow his lead and follow his lead, more obedient than babies.

Now, after Ji Changze showed his dissatisfaction with Sharp Mouth showing off his power while he was away, his subordinates immediately stood on the boss's united front and began to condemn and hate Sharp Mouth.

"Sir, please say something. As long as you say one, we will definitely charge for you and teach this Sharp Mouth a lesson!"

Hu Zifang wondered if the person who said this was still thinking in the Imperial Academy period.

They were officials in the court, and Ji Changze was a second-rank Shangshu Ling. How could he think that his political enemy was challenging his authority just because he humiliated a small official he didn't know? He wasn't a child of seven or eight years old.

He shook his head and was about to lower his head to drink tea, but just as he picked up the teacup.

-- Bang! !

The violent sound of slapping the table frightened Hu Zifang so much that he trembled all over. He subconsciously cowered and looked at the person who slapped the table - Ji Changze.

No way...

Ji Changze is really angry? ?

Ji Changze does look angry. His face is deep and his eyes are full of displeasure, as if he really feels that his authority has been challenged by this sharp mouth.

"Sharp mouth..."

He repeated this name several times, each time colder than the last.

Master Ji showed a bottomless villain standard sneer; "I just haven't been to court for a few days, but he doesn't let go of any time. He has been provoking me for these few days."

Hu Zifang; "???"

Wait a minute, when did he provoke you? Didn't he just humiliate a small official? You don't know that small official.

However, Ji Changze couldn't hear what he was thinking. Master Ji just stood up expressionlessly, grabbed the table with both hands, and threw it out like angrily.

The sound of slapping the table and throwing the table is still different.

Especially this table was thrown directly to the door. It can be seen with the naked eye that after the table was thrown out, the servants who were cleaning outside worked much faster.

Hu Zifang: "..."

Wait, you guys are discussing this kind of thing without closing the door?

There are so many servants cleaning outside.

And Ji Changze also threw a table out, who wouldn't be curious about what was going on?

But fortunately, they didn't say much, nothing shameful.

Just as Husband Fang finished thinking this, he saw Ji Changze say this with a gloomy face;

"It seems that we should really teach him some lessons to let him know clearly what he should do and what he shouldn't do."

Then, he said: "If you listen to what I'm going to say next, just do it as I tell you and keep your mouth shut. Don't spread it before the big thing is accomplished."

The members of the Discipline Party all looked solemn and nodded very seriously to show their understanding.

Bearded Fang: "..."

"Master Ji, why don't we close the door first..."

Ji Changze glanced at him and said very unconcernedly: "After closing the door, if someone comes to eavesdrop, we won't be able to see it. It's better to leave the door open and we can see clearly who is outside."

Bearded Fang: "..."

It made sense, but he was speechless.

Ji Changze began to talk about his "big plan".

"You know that after Zhou Quanxiao's death, the 70,000 soldiers were left unattended."

"If we want to deal with Jianzui, we can start with these 70,000 soldiers. When these 70,000 soldiers were in Zhou Quanxiao's hands, they had no salary, no food, no food or clothing, they were so weak. Private soldiers, even if the number is 70,000, it is intimidating, but it cannot bear any heavy responsibility. "

"From my point of view, whoever accepts these 70,000 people will suffer a loss. How can it be so simple for 70,000 people to eat, drink and have diarrhea? When the time comes, we will..."

Bearded Fang listened to the conspiracy in his ears, but his eyes stared blankly at the door: "Master, Master, Master Ji..."

Ji Changze, who was talking enthusiastically, was interrupted, but he was not angry and asked in a friendly voice: "What's wrong, Zifang, do you have anything to say?"

"It's nothing else. Just look at the window outside. Is that a figure?"

Ji Changze glanced at it: "That's the shadow of a tree, it must be the evergreen tree outside."

"Come on, let's continue talking. When the time comes, we will send people to spread rumors, saying that Jianzui is a military training wizard. Let the word go, if these 70,000 personal soldiers are handed over to him, he will not spend any money from the court. , can also strengthen the soldiers and horses trained by these 70,000 people."

"When the time comes, the news will spread more and more widely..."

Bearded Fang stared blankly at the shadow outside: "...Sir, that shadow is moving."

Ji Changze: "It must have been blown by the wind."

Bearded Fang: "...But, if the wind blows, it won't blow out my hands..."

Ji Changze waved his hand: "The shadows of the trees are all kinds of strange. Let alone the hands, it's normal to blow them out."

He then asked the Disciplinary Party members: "Do you think what I said is correct?"

The yes-men nodded one after another: "That's what the Lord said."

"My lord is wise, mighty, and knowledgeable."

"Your Excellency continued, please write it down."

Ji Changze: "Okay, let me continue, where did I just say?"

A yes man who listened carefully said immediately: "It's getting more and more widespread."

"Yes, the news is spreading more and more. When it spreads more and more, we will explain the matter to His Majesty together in court. What worries Your Majesty the most is the military pay. If you hear that you can train soldiers well without spending a penny. If you have a strong army and a strong horse, you will definitely agree. When the time comes, even if he has eight mouths, he will not be able to get rid of him."

As he spoke, Ji Changze raised his eyebrows slightly, raised a corner of his right lip, and showed a typical evil smile: "How can Jianzui support 70,000 soldiers without spending the court's money? It will be a mess by then. , he has carried out the errand entrusted to him by His Majesty, His Majesty will certainly punish him."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"What a plan!! As expected of an adult!!"

Just as the yes-men were surrounding Ji Changze and patting him on the rainbow, Huzi Fang had already seen a figure outside walking up to the "tree shadow" and shouted: "Yu Bao, what are you doing squatting here?"

Beard Fang "!!!"

He immediately stood up and walked out quickly.

When I walked outside, the place where someone should have been squatting was no longer there.

"Sir! Someone just eavesdropped!"

"Huh? Where is there anyone?" Ji Changze heard him shouting and walked out unhurriedly to look outside. He smiled at the emptiness and said, "Did Zifang not have a good rest last night? Why do you always say something today?" Weird words."

Bearded Fang was so anxious that he pointed to the place where the man was squatting and tried to explain: "I just heard someone talking to here. It was clear that someone was squatting here just now and eavesdropping on our conversation!"

"Who knows? I just told you it was the shadow of a tree."

"But, but, ah! My lord, come with me." Huzi Fang was so angry that he no longer cared about being afraid of Ji Changze. He grabbed his arm and walked inside again, pointing to the place where the black shadow was. .

"Look! Look! There was a black shadow just now, but now it's gone. It was the eavesdropper who realized that he was exposed and ran away! If not, why was there a black shadow just now and not now."

Ji Changze smiled and said, "What's strange about this? The shadows of trees exist with the change of the sun's rays. Just now the sun was shining on the trees, and the shadows of the trees were there. Now that the sun is not shining, the shadows of the trees are gone. Zifang Ah, you should read more books and learn more about the principles of nature, so that you can use them in daily life."

Bearded Fang: "..."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! !

He's going to be so angry! ! ! !

I’m so angry! ! !

"There's really someone!! Really!! Trust me, it's definitely not a tree shadow!"

Ji Changze said: "If you don't believe it, ask these colleagues."

Huzi Fang looked at the members of the Discipline Party.

Yes Man No. 1: "Brother Hu, you are too nervous. You are clearly just a tree shadow."

Yes Man No. 2: "Yes, Brother Hu, don't worry. Your Excellency is always powerful. If someone is really eavesdropping, he will definitely find out."

Yes Man No. 3: "How about you go home and rest first?"

Bearded Fang: "..."

He almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"I, I... forget it if you don't believe it! When the plan is revealed, you will naturally know who is right!"

He left angrily and was speechless all the way.

How could someone like Ji Changze still be a traitor?

Are the standards for traitors now so low?

When I got home, I was so angry that I didn't eat at night, I was very hungry and couldn't eat, and I suddenly thought about it.

He listened for a while about the hatred and anger of the Disciplinarians towards Jian Zui, and also heard a complete plot against Jian Zui. As a result, until now, he didn't even know who Jian Zui was.

He knew that "Sharp Mouth" was definitely a nickname given by members of the Discipline Party to a political opponent, but no one told him who the nickname was given to.

Too bad!

Too bad! ! !

The garbage discipline party, if you still want to start a court battle with this idea, go home and drink milk!

After everyone in the Ji family and the Discipline Party resigned and left, Ji Changze stopped laughing and called Fuquan.

"How about it? Did Yu Bao go to Zhao's house?"

Fuquan replied: "I have been sending people to follow Yu Bao since he left the house, and watched him enter the Zhao family all the way to make sure that the news has been passed on to Mr. Zhao."

"Well, you did a good job in this matter, but it was a little too obvious. Yu Bao was originally a sweeper in the outer courtyard, but he was suddenly transferred in and asked to approach the inner room. If he was suspicious, today would not go so smoothly. "

"Next time when this happens, just ask someone to clean here. Even if you don't arrange a place for him close to the study, if he wants to find out the news, he will naturally do everything possible to get closer. This kind of ability to get close to the core by yourself The news that comes will be more credible.”

Fuquan hurriedly agreed; "Yes, I have made a note of it. If I encounter something similar next time, I will do it beautifully so that the spies can smoothly pass on the news that I want to spread to their master." "

Speaking of this, Ji Changze smiled; "I just hope that Zhao Jianzui won't disappoint me."

Mr. Zhao, who was named Jianzui, did not disappoint Ji Changze.

Within almost three days, Master Ji Changzeji was familiar with military literature and spread the word that if all the 70,000 soldiers were given to him to take care of, the rumor that he would be able to raise strong soldiers and horses without spending a penny from the court spread throughout the world. The whole capital.

Everyone from the imperial officials to ordinary people knew about this matter. Soon, someone from Mr. Zhao's party directly disclosed the matter in the court hall and expressed the hope that the emperor could "satisfy" Mr. Ji.

Ji Changze acted very angry, and his face showed anger, anger, disbelief and other emotions very appropriately.

He excitedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty! I am just a civil servant. I am not sure that I can take care of 70,000 soldiers. Your Majesty, please think again!"

Seeing how anxious he was, Mr. Zhao was so convinced that he couldn't hide the proud look on his face. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji will definitely be able to get these seven items without spending a penny." Ten thousand soldiers have been trained to form the highest city wall around His Majesty."

"Zhao Zuijian! You!"

"Ji Changze, this is a great thing to share His Majesty's worries. You should be grateful that His Majesty is willing to use you. Why are you still so angry? Is it possible that you are not willing to serve His Majesty loyally?"

The emperor listened to the quarrel between the two cronies below and was making calculations in his heart.

He naturally knew that no one could take care of 70,000 people without spending a penny from the court.

But...he couldn't bear to spend the money.

Since this matter happened by chance, let's borrow Poxiadonkey and leave this matter to Ji Changze's care as a matter of course.

If the care is good, everyone will be happy. If the care is not good, can't Ji Changze be pushed out and take the blame?

The plan goes through!

In the end, Mr. Zhao prevailed, and the emperor agreed to hand over the 70,000 people to Ji Changze.

Master Ji was obviously severely hit, and his expression became quite gloomy. His eyes were filled with prayers when he looked at the emperor above.

The emperor felt a little guilty and quickly ran away after going to court.

It was time to go to court, but the ministers did not dare to talk together in twos and threes like before. They even walked lightly. They all knew that Ji Changze had suffered a big loss today and must be in a bad mood. They did not dare to get into trouble at this time.

Bearded Fang looked at Ji Changze, who stood silently with his head lowered in front of him, allowing Mr. Zhao to ridicule him, and felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.

Although Ji Changze was a bit intimidating, he never did anything wrong to him. Instead, he always regarded him as a friend and even held small meetings with him.

If he just sits idly by and doesn't care at this moment... is he being too unkind?

Everyone had almost left, and in the end only Ji Changze was left standing there. Mr. Zhao finally got the upper hand and seized the opportunity to chatter and squawk.

Bearded Fang hesitated and hesitated, but finally couldn't hold it back and tentatively walked over there.

"Master Ji, don't be sad, otherwise you can ask His Majesty for mercy, and maybe His Majesty will just... agree to take back the order."

"Your Majesty is true to his word, how could he take back his life just because you begged for mercy?" Master Zhao laughed even harder after hearing this: "Master Ji, Master Ji, I didn't expect that there are still people I sent in your house. "

Ji Changze, who had always lowered his head, suddenly said:

"Yes, why haven't I dealt with the Yu Bao you sent in April a year ago?"

After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his head. There was no trace of frustration on his face, and he even smiled happily.

"Master Zhao, you are as useful as ever."

The smile on Master Zhao's face froze.

"What do you mean? Don't be pretentious."

"Every time I want to do something, but I can't bring it up personally, I just act like I can't do it. Mr. Zhao, you work very hard and kindly to push me forward."

Ji Changze smiled very kindly, his eyes narrowed in laughter, and he looked more and more like an old fox: "It's a pity that I won't need you next time. Hey, I don't have a handy tool. I really regret it." Let Mr. Zhao disappear directly this time.”

Mr. Zhao's face already showed fear, but he still managed to hold on: "What are you talking nonsense about? I have never made any mistakes. Even if you give advice to His Majesty, what can you do to me?"

"Oh? Didn't you make a mistake? Mr. Zhao must have spent a lot of effort to find people to spread rumors all over the capital this time. But Mr. Zhao has never thought about it. Even if the 70,000 personal soldiers are ineffective, do they still have military power?"

"Even if His Majesty looks down on them, he will never allow anyone to treat them as their own property without his consent, to dictate who to assign to, eh, otherwise, I want these 70,000 yuan Soldier, just do it yourself, there is no need to beat around the bush [please ask] for your help."

Master Zhao's face has turned pale.

"No, no, Your Majesty will not punish me. I am loyal to Your Majesty. I have served Your Majesty for so many years. If I tell Your Majesty what you said to me, Your Majesty will definitely listen to me."

Ji Changze laughed even harder. He stared at Master Zhao and asked with a smile: "Master Zhao has been with His Majesty for so many years. When did he ever see His Majesty want the other party to die? The other party could see him before he died."

"Sir, thank you very much. I just let you laugh at me so well. I can say thank you and say goodbye. I will remember to spend money on you during the holidays."

After Ji Changze finished speaking, he turned around and left, not forgetting to call out Huzi Fang, who was already dumbfounded.

"Zifang, let's go. Don't talk to people who are dying. It's bad luck."

Bearded Fang: "..."

His face was almost filled with big question marks.

He followed Ji Changze out of the palace gate in a daze. Before he got on the carriage, a young eunuch trotted over and whispered to the two of them:

"Master Ji, when Master Zhao came down the steps just now, he may not have stepped on it properly and fell down. He has passed away."

"His Majesty said, let him be carried back and buried properly."

Bearded Fang: "..."

Ji Changze smiled: "Why are you so shocked? I would be surprised if Your Majesty didn't kill Master Zhao in cold blood."

"Hey, it's a pity that Zhao Jianzui has such a useful knife. It's a pity that he is so stupid. I wanted to use him a few more times. Okay, let's go back. I've got these 70,000 soldiers. I'll return them tomorrow. There are a lot of things I need your help with."

Ji Changze greeted the members of the Ji Party who were waiting for him outside the palace gate, and took the lead to leave in a sedan.

Bearded Fang stood there blankly, looking at the party members who were gathering together to discuss where to eat and drink in the evening.

It turns out...it wasn't that Mr. Ji didn't know someone was eavesdropping before, but that he did it on purpose?

Is this the court...

So these people...these silly-looking members of the Discipline Party are just like Lord Ji, they have a clear conscience and are deliberately putting on a show?

The disciplinary party yes-men over there also saw the square beards. They were worried about not having money for a big meal, and they suddenly felt happy and gathered around happily.

"Master Hu, what are you doing standing still? Master Ji said that he has something to do tomorrow. Let's relax today. We plan to have a good meal, let's come together."

"Yes, Mr. Hu, but you're new here, so you're in for a treat."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Hu, please, please, I... I just bought a birthday gift for my wife at home, and I am short of money."

"Me too. My little daughter has just been born. I have to save money for the dowry. Mr. Hu, you have to work hard."

Husband Fang was surrounded by them, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between illusion and reality, disguise and truth.

He looked at the smiling faces in front of him, his body trembled slightly, and he felt great fear.

The Disciplinary Party members secretly glanced at the bearded Fang who kept staring at them for no apparent reason.

He walked to the side and whispered: "What does he mean by looking at us like this? Does he not want to treat us?"

"Why don't you lie to him that every newcomer is treated as a guest?"

"This is a good idea, but the lord seems to value him very much. Will he reprimand us if he finds out?"

"Eating is more important. It's worth eating first and then being punished."

"Okay, let's unify our voices."

Bearded Fang naturally discovered that they were whispering. He ensured that these people must be talking about something that he didn't know. However, they had no intention of hiding it at all, but "did it quietly" openly and openly, which made him It’s not easy to ask.

They were looking at him, and there was a consensus in their eyes that he couldn't understand. Could it be that they realized that his scheming was far inferior to theirs?

Hu Zifang thought about it, but when the Ji party members came to him, they all laughed.

"Brother Hu, we actually have a tradition. When new people come, we have to treat them to a meal."

"Yes, that's right, it's a tradition."

So natural, so teasing, as if they were really just discussing the matter of treating a meal.

Hu Zifang just felt trembling.

Lord Ji would be fine.

How did these Ji party members manage to have such natural acting skills and act out such a stupid, dumb and foolish look?

Such! Such horror!
