The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Jiang Li was shocked when he heard this word: "...What?"

What good thing could this sound like?

Jicheng said gently: "You heard me correctly, there is no need to ask any more."

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Yueshu was so frightened that she stopped sobbing. Jiang Li glanced at her: "Shu'er, you go first in the carriage."

It wasn't until Jiang Yueshu got into the carriage that Jiang Li asked, "Who does your Majesty want me to kill?"

Jicheng smiled: "Prime Minister Jiang, don't worry, now is not the time. I will notify you when you need to take action."

He added: "You don't need to be nervous. Since I asked you to do it, it is definitely not a good thing."

Jiang Li: "..."

I don't know why, but after hearing these words, the tension in his heart relaxed a little.

He said: "Then I hope your Majesty can keep his promise."

Jicheng nodded seriously: "That's natural. After all, I'm not a villain like Li Yuzhi."

Jiang Yueshu, who had already entered the carriage, suddenly stuck her head out of the window and glared at Jicheng: "Bad guy!"

Jicheng looked back with a smile and said nothing, but Jiang Yueshu suddenly felt a chill all over her body. She still wanted to say something back: "You lied..."

"Shu'er!" Jiang Li stopped her immediately, "You've been too presumptuous recently!"

Jiang Yueshu was extremely aggrieved, but despite Jiang Li's father's majesty, she didn't dare to refute. She could only shrink her head with a pout, her almond-shaped eyes full of tears, which made people feel pity for him.

However, Jicheng is not a human being.

Jiang Yueshu shrank back, and Jiang Li's temples twitched wildly: "It's getting late today. I will take this unfilial daughter back to my house and say goodbye to His Majesty first."

After saying that, he also got on the carriage. Jicheng stepped aside and waved to them: "Goodbye."

The driver whipped his whip, and the carriage turned around and drove towards the city.

After the Jiang family's carriage had gone away, eunuch Xiao Luzi came out with his men: "Your Majesty, shall we return to the palace now?"

Jicheng nodded and boarded the carriage leisurely: "Where is the token?"

Xiao Luzi replied: "It has been taken from the place where the case files are stored. Lang Zhongling doesn't go there often, so he probably won't find it. Of course, even if he finds it, given his character, he will definitely not dare to tell anyone."

Jicheng nodded to show that he understood, and then asked: "What about the emperor's uncle?"

Xiaoluzi said: "You should be resting in the Regent's Palace?"

Jicheng pondered for three seconds: "Quickly invite the emperor's uncle into the palace."

Xiao Luzi asked: "Using the reason that the palace is haunted again?"

Jicheng nodded: "You can tell the truth if you really can't."

Xiaoluzi was a little confused: "...the truth?"

Are you just deceiving the Prince Regent about the truth about his old man?

Jicheng raised his lips and smiled: "The troupe has produced several new plays. I can't wait to invite the emperor to come to the palace to taste them."

Xiao Luzi: "...Yes."

It is really not easy for the Prince Regent to still be tortured like this at his old age.

——

The fact that Miss Jiang family wanted to elope and leave Beijing late at night did not cause any splash. At least some well-informed people heard that the Jiang family father and daughter had some conflicts, and Prime Minister Jiang directly grounded his daughter.

Naturally, Li Yuzhi had heard about this rumor, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Jiang Yueshu was caught by Jiang Li when she went out secretly - it was not that he wanted to elope anyway, and if the news about him and Jiang Yueshu got out, Jiang Yueshu was the one who suffered the most. Even if Jiang Li found out, he would not take the initiative to spread the word.

With this mentality, Li Yuzhi didn't care much even if Jiang Li didn't look good when he met him several times in the future.

Five days later, the visit of the Northern Xia envoy to Daning was finalized, and one month later, the Northern Xia envoy arrived in the capital of Daning.

Daning's military strength is weak, and it has always won less and lost more in battles with Northern Xia. There was also the big defeat fifty years ago. Everyone is very clear about the gap in strength between the two countries. This envoy from Northern Xia came and said he was visiting. , in fact, writing "inspection" is almost the same.

Not to mention that the Northern Xia people have a barbaric temperament. There have been many massacres in the wars for decades. Even today, many Northern Xia people disdainfully call the Daning people "two-legged sheep."

There is a sense of contempt and disdain in it that needs no words.

Therefore, even when the envoys of Northern Xia came to the capital of Daning, they showed no restraint in their actions and words. When they met in the court, their attitude was not to say respectful, but they did not even show much respect.

Jicheng didn't care about this, and the others didn't think much about it - after all, it was well known that the little emperor had no real power, and it would be scary if he suddenly showed great backbone.

Only Prime Minister Jiang, who was also in the Taining Hall, felt that something was very wrong in his heart: He had seen the true face of the young emperor that night. Putting aside the scheming, the other party valued his reputation to a perverted level. Why did he see him today? Yet he behaved so tamely towards some of the almost humiliating remarks made by the Northern Xia envoy?

To say that Wen Tun is weak, looking at the expression on the little emperor's face, he could only say "You are right".

However, the audience was only that long. Before Jiang Li had time to think about it, the regent Li Heng, who was standing opposite him, had already stood up: "The envoys from Northern Xia are all distinguished guests of Daning. The two of them will be in Daning next." Residence and arrangements in the capital..."

The two envoys who were already flattered by Jicheng's attitude said: "Then let the regent take our brothers here to have fun."

Li Heng subconsciously felt that something was wrong: "I am quite busy with official duties on weekdays..." And it wouldn't be appropriate to take it personally, right?

Ji Cheng on the throne said: "Okay! Uncle! Then the next trip of these two envoys is up to you!"

Li Heng: "?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Sure enough, it's not that simple!

The remaining things from the morning court were quickly dealt with, and the ministers left one after another. The two extremely arrogant Beixia envoys also left with the regent. Jiang Li also got on the carriage back to the mansion. After returning, the first thing he asked was: "Where is the young lady?"

The servant frowned: "Still the same."

Jiang Li sighed and walked towards Jiang Yueshu's room: "I'll go see her."

Jiang Yueshu was sitting at the table drawing. When she saw Jiang Li come in, she subconsciously stood up happily and wanted to call him dad, but soon she realized that she was angry, so she sat down again, turned her back and deliberately ignored him.

Jiang Li also knew his daughter's personality, so he asked, "Have you thought it through in this month?"

Jiang Yueshu said angrily, "What do you think through?"

"Why does Li Yuzhi want to get close to you?"

Jiang Yueshu subconsciously wanted to refute, but Jiang Li said sternly, "Shu'er, it's been so long, do you still want to lie to yourself?"

After being yelled at like this, Jiang Yueshu's eyes immediately had tears in her eyes: "...I, I just don't understand...why doesn't brother Yuzhi like me? He, he likes me!"

Jiang Li said, "Did he come to see you in this month?"

Jiang Yueshu was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Li sighed: "Shu'er, don't you understand? Li Yuzhi is not a good man. He approaches you just to win the support of his father."

There is another reason he didn't say - Li Yuzhi has an impatient and aggressive personality. Over the years, his dislike for Li Ji has been more obvious than his father. He knows that Jiang Yueshu and Li Ji are engaged, so he approaches Jiang Yueshu to win her love. I'm afraid he also wants to trample Li Ji under his feet.

But what he said was hurtful enough. Jiang Li didn't want to expose the other party's hypocrisy any more.

Jiang Yueshu's tears rolled down like beads: "Then, then Li Ji... Doesn't His Majesty also want your support? He is not a good person either!"

She sobbed and said, "Dad, don't agree to his request!"

Jiang Li said, "The Majesty has already asked for the manpower three days ago."

Jiang Yueshu was stunned, and Jiang Li continued, "Shu'er, don't you understand? The reason why His Majesty dared to make a direct request is that he was sure that I would not leave you alone."

He sighed, "This is a trap he set up, forcing my father to jump into it."

Jiang Yueshu couldn't help but say, "He, he is despicable!"

After a while, she asked hesitantly, "Then His Majesty... What exactly does he want to do?"

Jiang Li first glared at her, "I just hope you learn this lesson and don't act so recklessly in the future!"

God knows how much he wanted to faint when he knew that this girl went directly to Li Ji to beg! !

As for the latter question, Jiang Li actually didn't know the answer.

He looked out the window and suddenly remembered what happened in Taining Palace this morning.

It was summer now, but Jiang Li felt an inexplicable chill all over his body. He couldn't help but mutter, "Shouldn't it be... not?"

This little emperor shouldn't be as crazy as he thought, right?

——

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

These ten days-the court was calm, the regent still took power, the little emperor said nothing, the royalists were powerless, and the prime minister, as the leader of the third force, still implemented his neutral policy of sitting on the fence, and said yes to anyone who asked him from either side.

The only three things that were not peaceful.

First, the two envoys sent by Beixia did all kinds of evil in the capital. Going to brothels and smashing casinos were considered minor. There were more than one or two cases of robbing women and injuring people on the street. The people complained, but they were all suppressed by the power of the regent's palace.

Second, Regent Li Heng was probably fed up with the constant harassment of the young emperor, and finally broke the surface of respect. When the other party invited him to the palace to taste the latest drama, he resolutely refused and went back to his bedroom to sleep early (I heard that he slept soundly).

In addition, Prime Minister Jiang himself was very uneasy - the young emperor borrowed his men to kill people, and it has been more than ten days, and no one has been heard of death, and his men have not returned!

What is the little emperor up to?

And the answer came in the middle of the night on the tenth day.

At that time, Jiang Li was about to go to bed, and suddenly someone came to report that the borrowed guards had returned.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over without changing his pajamas.

The ten borrowed guards did return to the Prime Minister's Mansion in one piece, wearing night clothes and exuding a bloody smell.

Jiang Li asked quickly: "What did His Majesty ask you to do?"

The ten guards replied: "Don't worry, sir. His Majesty asked us to kill two thugs who bullied men and women! They are not good people!"

"But," one guard scratched his head and said, "after we killed them, I seemed to hear someone shouting that the envoys were assassinated..."

Jiang Li's footsteps were shaken, and he almost fainted.
