Chapter 118 King Qin: Keep playing the music and dancing
Hearing this, Chen Yingyuan was stunned...
The prince?
If it is really as the prince consort Wang Tongjiao said, the empress has really made a big move this time!
Although he was also very surprised, he remained indifferent on the surface and said calmly, "Okay! For the sake of your Majesty, I will... this way!"
Wang Tongjiao: “…”
Zhao Xinzhi: “…”
The two of them didn't say anything but looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little panicked.
Chen Yingyuan, the chief officer of the palace, was equivalent to the steward of the Qin Palace! His attitude was likely that of his master, Li Jize.
After hearing the empress bestowed upon him such a high honor as "Emperor Duke", his reaction was surprisingly calm.
Could it be that……
Oh no! I'm afraid it's a bit unrealistic to ask Li Jize to lead his troops to rescue the king with these conditions!
Soon, led by Chen Yingyuan, they arrived at the innermost part.
As soon as they came in, Wang Tongjiao and Zhao Xinzhi's eyes widened.
This cabin is very large. Li Jize is sitting at the very top, and on his left and right are either his generals or scholars from the group of humble scholars. What are they doing?
Drinking and listening to music in brothels!
Not only was there a band playing music and singing on the side, but there was also a group of beautiful women with enchanting and graceful figures jumping around in the middle.
Wang Tongjiao, Zhao Xinzhi and the group of Dongchang officials who came out to represent the imperial court were all very angry!
Hey! The emperor's palace is about to be attacked by bandits.
They, on the other hand, hid on this small island, listening to music, drinking and having fun in brothels.
Such a life... Such a life...
We thought about it too!
"Cough cough..."
Wang Tongjiao coughed, then stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"
Ok?
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that all the civil and military officials subconsciously looked at Wang Tongjiao, except Li Jize who just glanced and turned away.
He simply waved his hand and said impatiently, "I'm no longer a prince of the imperial court! Why is your husband mocking me?"
Wang Tongjiao: “…”
Zhao Xinzhi: “…”
Listen, is this what people say?
Do you still know that you are not a prince of the imperial court? Why did everyone keep calling you "King of Qin" all the way here?
Zhao Xinzhi was about to make a sarcastic remark, but his son-in-law Wang Tongjiao was quick to respond and interrupted him, "King Qin, you don't know that His Majesty has already re-conferred your title upon the world!"
Li Jize didn't even look at him, his eyes always stayed on the beautiful girls in front of him.
This made Wang Tongjiao and his group a little embarrassed!
Wang Tongjiao thought he hadn't heard clearly, so he raised his voice again and repeated, "King of Qin! I mean, your title has been restored by His Majesty! You are still the King of Qin now!"
Who would have thought…
Li Jize turned around and rolled his eyes at Wang Tongjiao. He grabbed a piece of meat in front of him, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed while complaining, "So what? She deposed me and gave me the title of king. Do I have to give her an award?"
"you……"
Zhao Xinzhi was angry!
All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king’s subjects!
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. How dare Li Jize be so rebellious? Does he really rely on the fact that the Great Qi is isolated overseas and cannot do anything to him?
result……
All of a sudden, all the generals glared fiercely at the dead eunuch Zhao Xinzhi, and he swallowed his saliva!
Second uncle, here you are!
It seems that Da Qi really has no way to deal with him.
So, this guy obediently retracted his head and never dared to find fault again.
The prince consort is right. This is not the land of the Great Qi. If Li Jize really wants to kill you, you will have no way to stop him.
Wang Tongjiao is the empress's uncle and a loyal minister!
He naturally felt uncomfortable with Li Jize's outrageous words.
But Zhao Xinzhi has come to his senses. He dares not provoke Li Jize now, nor can he provoke him! He is more aware of the current situation and knows clearly what his mission is.
Thinking of this...
Suppressing his anger, Wang Tongjiao watched Li Jize throw out the "ultimate temptation," "Your Majesty, please invite the King of Qin to lead his army into the capital to defend the king! If you defeat the bandits, then the King of Qin will be granted the title of Duke!"
Wow!
The scholars and generals who had been pretending to be calm could no longer hold back at this moment.
The Emperor! For them, it was indeed a huge temptation.
and so……
Everyone looked at Li Jize, but what about the latter?
He continued to watch the song and dance in the middle, under the gaze of everyone, including the dancing girls...
Li Jize simply waved his hand, "Keep playing the music! Keep dancing!"
Since the King of Qin gave the order, the girls naturally continued to dance and the musicians continued to play.
Wang Tongjiao was anxious, and so were the others. What was going on? His Majesty had given them the biggest bargaining chip, but it was with Li Jize, and it wasn't working?
Wang Tongjiao was about to open his mouth to repeat himself, "That's the Emperor!"
Unexpectedly...
Li Jize raised his hand, signaling him to shut up, and continued, "I've made it very clear just now. Don't try to fool me with this one-down-one-up trick! If she wants help, she'd better come up with something concrete."
One up, one down? What's the takeaway?
Wang Tongjiao was a smart man. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to understand a little.
From their perspective, the empress's rewards were indeed very high. She was a prince and a duke, which was equivalent to treating her body as a trading item.
But for Li Jize, this was what the empress had promised him before!
Later, this shameless childhood sweetheart changed his mind and now wants to take away the things that should have been given to him?
What are you daydreaming about?
It’s over! This time it’s really Barbie Q!
Everyone thinks that the emperor is rare, but Li Jize doesn't care at all.
result……
As a result, they had no second emergency plan, that is! Li Jize did not buy this, so what conditions should be offered to make him send troops?
The title of general of Tiance has reached its limit! The emperor can say that it is the last step to ascend to heaven, but people don’t want it!
Money? Does the Empress still have money? She's so poor that she can barely even patch up her underpants, okay?
There is a saying that goes, if you can’t give money or official titles, then give policies!
Wang Tongjiao gritted his teeth, and with a final rage, he inexplicably said, "Your Majesty has spoken! Confer the title of General of Heavenly Strategy, Li Jize, Prince of Qin, and Grand Marshal of the Armies of Heaven!"
Oops! Good guy!
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the generals on Li Jize's side were stunned.
even……
Everyone on Wang Tongjiao's side was dumbfounded!
Ah, this... isn't... that...
Before Your Majesty set out, did you say that you would appoint Li Jize as the Grand Marshal of the Army?
If Li Jize controlled the entire Qi army, who could stop him?
