The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 336
"Qi Wang Li Maozhen is here!"

In front of the gate of a mansion, Li Maozhen, dressed in a very solemn and solemn attire, walked slowly to the gate.

He bowed his hands to the civil servants in front of the door, and the civil servants who received him also greeted him with a friendly smile.

After chatting for a few words, Li Maozhen walked in leisurely.

The gate of the mansion is very strict, and there are some soldiers in strong and sharp clothes standing on the road. Besides, there are Tongwenguan disciples in white uniforms hidden in the dark.

Li Maozhen raised a trace of vigilance in her heart, and rushed to the depths of the mansion.

This place is a mansion left by the bureaucrats of the previous dynasty (Liang State). The rockery is adjacent to the pond, and the carved beams and painted buildings have beautiful scenery. Now it is under the official ownership.

Li Keyong actually came here very early.

And the reason why he came here was naturally to meet Li Maozhen.He decided not to meet Li Maozhen at the official court meeting, but to check Li Maozhen's intention here first.

Li Ke closed his eyes and rested for a moment, until an official's deep voice came from behind him: "Your Majesty, King Qi Li Maozhen has arrived."

Li Ke nodded without looking back, and then opened his slightly tired eyes.

Being an emperor is actually very tiring, especially when the dynasty has just started and is heading towards prosperity, there are mountain-high memorials to be dealt with every day.

Of course, it's a different matter if you are a mediocre and conservative king, or a tyrant and faint king.

After a while, Li Keyong heard an angry voice: "Li Maozhen pays homage to Your Majesty."

Li Keyong was startled when he heard these words, and turned around quickly.

From Li Maozhen's voice, Li Keyong could sense that his martial arts were not low.But what surprised him was not Li Maozhen's martial arts, but what Li Maozhen called him.

Li Maozhen called him 'Your Majesty', which had a lot of meaning.Li Maozhen obviously meant to surrender to the state of Jin.

Li Keyong was stunned for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Maozhen up with his own hands. While looking at Li Maozhen, he asked nicely, "King Qi?"

"Your Majesty, the word "King Qi" was bestowed by the previous dynasty, and I dare not take it!"

Li Maozhen waved his hand immediately, and said solemnly: "The world has been suffering from wars for a long time, but now your Majesty has become a martial artist, fought for the people of the world, and saved the people from fire and water. His contribution is indispensable, and he should be the master of the world!"

When Li Keyong heard Li Maozhen's compliment, he narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

From Li Maozhen's performance, Li Keyong was somewhat surprised.

Li Maozhen is more or less a prince of one party, why did he surrender when he said he surrendered?
Facing Li Ke's scrutinizing gaze, Li Maozhen did not make any offensive gestures, but just lowered her head and remained motionless, vividly expressing the image of a courtier.

Li Ke used to observe for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said: "In the past, the world was in chaos, and all the heroes rose together. Because of the advantages and convenience, they divided the territory and divided the land, and separated the rivers and mountains. General Li ruled Qi for more than ten years, guarding one side. It is really a hero to save the people from the suffering of war."

Faced with Li Ke's eulogizing words, Li Maozhen just cupped her fists, shook her head and said, "I'm just a corner, I'm really ashamed of it!"

Li Keyong had a faint smile on his face.He pondered for a few seconds, then took the initiative to find the topic, raised his finger and pointed to the picture behind him, and asked, "Does General Li know this picture?"

Li Maozhen looked up and found that it was a map.

Moreover, he had seen this map before. It was a map drawn by Li Cunxu.

Sure enough, Li Keyong introduced: "This is the map sent by the emperor. It is said to be a map of Asia. It includes Korea and Japan."

Li Maozhen immediately showed a look of surprise, and praised: "His Royal Highness is indeed very knowledgeable."

Li Ke nodded, and he didn't need to be humble about it.In this position, excessive modesty will only lead to the reputation of being fatuous, and he doesn't want the public to say that the prince is mediocre.

He pointed to a place on the map and said calmly, "General Li, take a look at this place, is it familiar?"

The place Li Keyong pointed to was exactly where Qi Kingdom was located on the map.

Li Maozhen was full of thoughts in her heart, but there was no wave on her face, she just clasped her fists and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this is the northwest of our Jin Kingdom."

Li Keyong immediately looked at Li Maozhen with strange eyes.Immediately, he laughed loudly: "Yes, this is the state of Jin."

After all, Li Keyong said with a earnest expression: "However, General Li has contributed a lot to fighting for the people of the world. How can I treat General Li badly? How can I chill the hearts of the soldiers? I want to reward you !"

Li Maozhen hastily declined and said, "I dare not."

Li Keyong still said: "General Li's ability to conquer and fight well is indispensable. He should be the king of Qin, lead the Fengxiang Jiedu envoy, and guard the western frontier!"

When Li Maozhen heard this, she quickly declined again: "I don't dare to be a minister!"

"No." Li Keyong looked at Li Maozhen immediately, and said seriously, "Aiqing is the King of Qin!"

"I dare not." Li Maozhen still shook her head.

"General Li is so brave and loyal, and I am so relieved. The imperial court needs a minister like General Li."

Li Ke used a word of praise first, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "But then again, if a minister like General Li doesn't get the reward he deserves, doesn't it mean that the court treats him badly?" Is it a meritorious minister?"

"This"

Li Maozhen immediately made a look of embarrassment.

Li Keyong held his breath, and said to Li Maozhen: "Although I was supported by the generals as emperor, I am different from the traitor Zhu Wen and others. I have always been rewarded and punished clearly, and the law is reasonable. General Li has meritorious service, so naturally I will reward him."

Li Maozhen naturally knew the meaning of Li Ke's words.When he came to Bianzhou this time, everyone in the world was watching.

If he, the vassal king who voluntarily surrendered, could not get enough benefits, then few people in the world would be willing to surrender to Jin.

Therefore, Li Keyong must act kindly to the surrendered ministers in front of the people of the world.

In this way, the rulers of other forces will have less resistance to surrendering to Jin, and Jin's great cause of unifying Kyushu will be easier.

Therefore, for Li Keyong to make Li Maozhen the king of Qin, it was actually a matter of willingness to fight for the two of them.

However, Li Maozhen is worried about the future.

Once he accepts the title of king of Qin, it means that there will be another king with a different surname in the state of Jin.Wang with a different surname usually walks on eggshells.

But right now he has no choice.

Because Li Keyong needs him to be the king with a different surname.

Li Maozhen pretended to think for a while, and then showed an excited expression: "Your Majesty is so favored, I will live up to His Majesty's trust, and I will be Your Majesty's saddle, and I will do my best."

Li Keyong suddenly laughed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Li Maozhen said calmly, "I have something to offer."
