Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 221 Jia Mu plans a title, Jia Qi brings an envoy to find Jia Jing (2.5)

In Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia had been looking forward to it and finally got Zhou Rui back.

But Zhou Rui brought them bad news as soon as he came back.

"The boy was not punished?"

"How is this possible? That kid won one hundred thousand taels of silver from the island country's envoy. Your Majesty, instead of pursuing the case, allowed him to continue to take the island country's envoy with him? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

Both of them felt a little incredible. It was really beyond their expectations.

In any case, that island country is also one of the tributary countries of the Great Zhou Empire.

Moreover, the island country is closely related to the Japanese pirates along the coast, and they also know these things.

It is precisely for this reason that His Majesty the Emperor has always been quite tolerant of the island countries.

The purpose is to allow them to work together to limit the development of Japanese pirates.

But it only took a moment for my mother to react.

"Madam, ancestor, to be honest, when I heard the news, I couldn't believe it, so I spent money to check with the Miyamoto guards to confirm the authenticity of the news from them."

After Zhou Rui left, Mrs. Wang frowned and said.

"I understand, it must be because that boy comes from our Jia family, and he took advantage of us."

My mother was also having a headache at this time. If this kid left the island country’s mission directly, it might be easier to solve, but now he is still following the island country people and continues to act. It would be too difficult to call him back at this time. It's difficult.

My mother said angrily.

When Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia heard these two words, they were shocked and looked at Zhou Rui quickly.

"After careful inquiry, I found out that the cause of all this lies with General Niu."

"Now that boy is with the islanders, we have no other way. Zhou Rui, you can continue to follow. If anything happens, let us know in time. If the impact is too great, you can handle it yourself and come back to tell us. Just the result.”

"It was also through the palace guards that I was completely sure that Mr. Jia Qi was indeed fine and continued to accompany the island country's envoys."

"If that kid still hasn't accomplished anything, we can't do whatever we want with him. You have to send him to be an official. That's fine. Once you become an official, you'll have to face greater responsibilities. , can cause bigger things.”

"Yes, yes, please reply to my wife and ancestors."

Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu were confused.

"General Niu does have good intentions, but he is not what we want. Mother, what do you think we should do next?"

"That's right. If you have anything to say, let's finish it right away. Don't talk to us."

Why did this matter involve Niu Jizong again?

Zhou Rui took a deep breath and continued.

However, this time Jia Qi went directly to the casino and cheated someone out of one hundred thousand taels of silver, and His Majesty the Emperor did not pursue the matter.

"but."

Mrs. Jia's words were obviously sarcastic, but Mrs. Wang couldn't tell, so her frown deepened.

"Don't say that. Once we really get along and you have your way, how can you affect Baoyu if the kid is gone?"

"It is also because of this that Mr. Jia Qi was not punished at all."

Mrs. Wang also understood when she heard this.

This is a bit incredible.

The Zhou Rui family member gave a wry smile and said.

"Mother, Zhou Rui is just a servant. You can't solve the problem by asking him to follow you. If that kid causes any more trouble, he will really lose his title. Even if we regret it, it will be too late."

"Don't I know what you are saying? But don't forget that this matter was caused by someone. If you didn't send him to Honglu Temple, would these things have happened?"

After all, this is what His Majesty ordered. Is it possible that Mother Jia can still ask for someone from His Majesty?
When he thought of this, he really hated Niu Jizong.

"But what?"

He said as if he suddenly realized something.

"I asked how could Niu Jizong help this kid? It turned out that he thought he was from our Jia family, so he thought that he was also one of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs, so he helped him."

"Mother, what's the use of talking about this now? That kid has already joined the court as an official. Can I still ignore him?"

"I don't know why, but the envoy from the island country didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble but instead left without a trace."

Zhou Rui quickly and respectfully agreed and left quickly.

Mrs. Wang did not expect that things would develop like this.

"In just a short period of time, we have already made trouble in front of His Majesty twice. If we continue, he may not be able to succeed at any time. He may even be killed."

But he was just a wealthy lady, and it was even more impossible for him to influence His Majesty the Emperor's decision-making, so he could only look at Jia Mu expectantly.

"It's all Niu's fault. How can he help when he has nothing to do? If he doesn't help, we won't have so many things to do."

"If it weren't for General Niu Jizong, those island country people would never give up. But just when those people were about to cause trouble for Jia Qi, General Niu came forward and beat up all the island country envoys."

If my matter continues like this, this boy may not cause any trouble, and he may really lose his title at some point. That is not the result he wants.

He just complained, but Jia Mu's eyes lit up and she said.

"Why not? Didn't that kid listen to the advice this time? Since he is so persuasive, then if you ask him to give up his official position, will he still refuse?"

"Ask him to give up his official position directly. He may not do it, but you can ask him to give up his official position to others. If that doesn't work, just say it is for the fake guy or fake face and give it to their kid, and you can still keep the official position. In hand?"

"After he loses his official position, he will be just a noble with a title. When the time comes, it will be easier for us to find a way to take action against him."

Listening to Jia Mu's words, Mrs. Wang thought more and said impatiently.

"Since I can persuade him to give up his official position, it's better for me to directly persuade him to let you keep his title."

Mrs. Wang felt happy as she spoke, but Mother Jia poured cold water on him.

"Are you afraid you haven't woken up from a dream?"

"Ms. Wang, you have to understand one thing. The inheritance of this title is not that easy. Either the person dies and the direct descendants or relatives inherit it."

"Or just like Brother Jing from Ningguo Mansion, he became a monk and practiced Taoism directly, so that he could pass on the title to Jia Zhen."

"So if you want him to give up his title to Baoyu, the best way is to persuade him to become an immortal. As long as he is willing to become a monk and practice Taoism, his title must be given up. Only then can you ask him to give up his title. Give it to Baoyu, otherwise you don’t even think about it.”

Even if Jia Mu said so, Mrs. Wang was still very happy.

"I know how to do it. Didn't mother just let that kid go to practice immortality? Can't you just wait until I persuade him to give up his job and then persuade him to become an immortal? Wait until he listens to me and become an immortal, then let him Give up the title to Baoyu and let everything take its course."

Jia Mu nodded, feeling that everything was reasonable, so she didn't say anything more, but said in the affirmative.

"If you do that, that's fine."

"It's just that if you want that kid to cultivate immortality, you must first discuss it with Brother Jing."

"With him cooperating with you, this matter will be easier."

"But before that, we still have to wait for him to come back. You have to have someone keep an eye on him. When he comes back, call him as soon as possible. Don't let anything else happen."

Mrs. Wang nodded and then continued.

"While I'm asking people to watch, I also want to talk to Brother Rong or Lian'er to see who of them is willing to take over this position. After all, it was all hard work. It's a pity to lose it."

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have good ideas here, but they don't know.

Just outside the palace, when Jia Qi and the envoys from an archipelago country were discussing where to go, Jia Qi casually mentioned that the temples around Shenjing City were particularly prosperous.

As a result, the envoys from these island countries focused on the surrounding temples.

Jia Qi immediately took them out of the city to Xuanzhen Temple.

While Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu were discussing, they had already entered Xuanzhen Temple.

This Xuanzhen Temple, also known as Zhenwu Temple, naturally worships Emperor Zhenwu.

Jia Qi spoke to them after he led the island nation's group to worship. "In this Xuanzhen Temple, in addition to being able to practice Taoism and practice Zen, the most important thing is to be able to transform into an immortal. Since you are here, my god will often let you come into contact with the Taoist cultivators in my god's capital city."

"To be honest, in this Xuanzhen Temple, the only one who is truly successful in cultivating immortals and can refine elixirs is my Uncle Jing, who is also from my Jia family and was once the master of Ningguo Mansion."

"I am following him to cultivate immortality. Next, I will take you to see how to make elixirs, and also let you know how powerful my Great Zhou Empire is."

With that said, he took the envoys from the island country to find Jia Jing.

Knowing that the purpose of these islanders was to produce high-yield grain seeds, and knowing that they wanted to use trouble-making methods to meet His Majesty the Emperor, he made up his mind.

Don't you want to cause trouble?
Then I will help you, even in the civilian areas, ordinary people cannot afford it.

It is better to let those in high positions bear the burden.

When they violate the law and the bottom line, I step forward to clean up the mess, and I will be rewarded.

So naturally we have to choose a better candidate.

This person is Jia Jing of the Jia family.

First of all, this kind of thing can make you suffer a little loss, and secondly, you can also take this opportunity to order something to help you cultivate immortality.

Maybe you can give yourself some helpful suggestions for your own cultivation.

After Jia Qi arrived with the islanders, Jia Jing was also a little confused and didn't know what he meant.

"Brother Qin? What are you doing? Why did you bring them to my place?"

Jia Qi said cheerfully.

"Uncle Jing, it's like this. Your Majesty has ordered me to lead the envoys from the island country to appreciate the style of our great Zhou Dynasty."

"I don't think so, uncle, are you the only immortal cultivator I know in the Great Zhou Empire? And you are also an immortal cultivator who is proficient in alchemy. Naturally, I want to let the envoys from these island countries see a true immortal like you. "

What he said was to the dozens of envoys from the island country behind him who were eager to try.

"Dear envoys, you see, this is my uncle Jing, a true immortal cultivator. Now he has successfully cultivated immortality and is also proficient in alchemy."

"He is one of the few enlightened people in the Shenjing City of our Great Zhou Empire."

"If you want to appreciate the splendor of my Great Zhou Empire, you must have a chat with me in Dabo. Maybe if you chat well enough, my uncle can appreciate some of your cultivation elixirs, and you will definitely benefit a lot."

Jia Jing was still very proud of what he said.

He even waved his hand and took the envoys from the island country to visit his alchemy room and his collection of treasures.

But the envoy from an archipelago country, although he looked happy, was thinking in his heart, how could this Jia Jing have the temperament of a man of enlightenment?

This is obviously a liar.

Fortunately, this person is a liar. If he is really an expert, if he lends them some courage, they would not dare to attack an expert.

But who told Jia Jing to be fake?
As for why they are so sure, the reason is very simple.

Although these people in the island country do not have the talent for cultivation, there are people who are proficient in all walks of life among their dead group this time.

There are martial arts masters, gambling masters, those who are proficient in swordsmanship, and those who are proficient in Buddhism. There is even a true Taoist who is still in retreat in Honglu Temple.

Moreover, they had been trained before coming to the Great Zhou Empire, and could easily identify who was a martial arts master, who was proficient in hidden weapons, and who was proficient in Buddhist and Taoist theories. Or someone who is a true Buddhist and Taoist practitioner.

In their opinion, the Jia Jing in front of them was useless except for showing off.

Looking at the furnishings in this yard, there is no order.

Look at the so-called alchemy room. There is no comparison between the Bagua furnace and the real alchemy furnace.

What's even more ridiculous is that this man didn't use ground fire to make alchemy, but used firewood.

There were also those so-called treasures that seemed to fool people at first glance, but he actually took them seriously.

Therefore, the excitement in the eyes of the island country's envoy is getting deeper and deeper.

The previous two times they may have chosen the wrong direction and therefore failed to realize their plan. This time they feel that they have definitely chosen the target.

Jia Qi is obviously different from others. It is difficult to use him to see His Majesty the Emperor and to ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree to pay tribute.

Not to mention getting high-yielding grain seeds through him.

Since that boy Jia Qi can't do it, then it's better to replace him with Jia Qi's uncle.

They looked at each other and were ready to take action.

But at this time, Jia Jia spoke.

"Uncle Jing, I have never had the opportunity to ask you for advice before. This time I have the opportunity and I just want to ask you for advice."

"Why does the technique you gave me have no effect at all when I practice it, and I don't even feel anything?"

Jia Jing has been carefully investigating this kid during this time.

He knew that this boy had a special physique and had developed advanced sword skills by killing animals.

It was precisely because of this that Jia Jing understood that if he wanted to prevent this boy from returning home, he did not need to practice Taoism or become an immortal. He only needed to devote himself wholeheartedly to a certain cause.

If he could not go home because of this, it would be enough to complete his plan.

So when he heard this kid ask, he immediately said without hesitation.

"In this world, some people are suitable for learning, some are suitable for practicing Buddhism, some are suitable for practicing Taoism, and some are suitable for practicing martial arts."

"These are all related to your own physique."

"It is precisely because of this that many people can only be proficient in one of them, and you probably don't have the talent to cultivate immortality, so relatively speaking you are more suitable for practicing martial arts."

"I heard that you have mastered the nameless sword technique by killing chickens and sheep, and your skills are very profound. In this case, it has been proved that you are not suitable for cultivating immortals. It is better to give up this idea and practice martial arts."

[A suggestion full of malicious intent is detected. Give up cultivating immortality and practice martial arts. You need to really give up cultivating immortality to trigger a positive reversal. Do you want to give up cultivating immortality? 】

Jia Qi raised his eyebrows, but was still speechless.

Is there still a choice? Although his talent in martial arts is indeed quite powerful and he can master it as long as he kills enough animals, he still doesn't want to give up on cultivating immortality.

If he gave up cultivating immortality, he would suffer a lot.

After all, success in cultivating immortals can prolong life and even lead to immortality.

However, it is impossible to achieve this effect by practicing martial arts.

So all fools know how to choose.

Jia Qin immediately said righteously.

"Uncle Jing, you may be right, but as the old saying goes, I want the fish and I want the bear's paw. I have to have both. Is it okay to give up the fish and take the bear's paw?"

"What does this sentence mean? I think my uncle also understands it. It is telling us that fish is what I like, and I also like bear's paws. I have to get both. I have to have both. How can I give up the fish and get the bear? Where’s the palm?”

【Misinterpretation of classics ×101】

"So, I like to practice martial arts and cultivate immortality. I must have these two, so I naturally have to choose to have both."

Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this.

Is this how this sentence is explained? Doesn’t it tell us to give up the fish for the bear’s paw?
Moreover, this kid is not so persuasive sometimes. His reasons are not good, but he doesn't even listen.

After listening to the translation, the envoys from the island country were all dumbfounded. Could it be that the classics they stole were all wrong?

At this time, Jia Qi finally heard the system prompt and chose not to listen and declared failure.

So at this time he changed the topic and said.

"But I have remembered your words, uncle. Although you think I am not suitable for cultivating immortals, I must continue to practice well. Even if I don't succeed, I will not give up easily."

"I wonder if uncle has any other methods that can help me succeed in cultivating immortality?"

"I think the elixir you gave me before was very effective. Why don't you give me more, or use any other method? Maybe one day I will really succeed."

At this time, the island country's envoy, who had been preparing to take action, finally found an opportunity and continued to speak through Jia Qi's words.

"It turns out that there are ways for people who can't cultivate to become immortals, so I wonder if this senior can give us some pills or methods so that we can also succeed in cultivating immortals."
