In the evening, just as the sunset was setting in the western mountains, the bright clouds were like blood, and the late-returning geese flew into the sky.

After entering Luzhou City, the road became smoother, and the chariots moved much more smoothly.Shu Jin slightly lifted the curtain of the car, and Luzhou was as prosperous as before, and it was very lively even at dusk, with people coming and going, and a lot of traffic.People were chatting and laughing, as if there had never been a bloody massacre here. Perhaps they had lived in Luzhou for a long time, and people were calm about the frequent wars.

"With a tough temper, he is worthy of being a man of the imperial capital."

Shu Jin said to himself that he admired the integrity of Lucheng people.

Wang Yang led the two prime ministers and five thousand soldiers to receive them at the gate of the palace with a grand pomp.Treating Wei Ya like this was unexpected, and Shu Jin looked down on it a lot.

The prime minister presented the evidence to Wang Yang, and Shu Jin and the ministers took a boat ride to Lauren, rested in the palace for one night, and prepared to go to court the next day.

"Thanks to the grace of heaven, Prince Li is kind and filial, and he is virtuous and virtuous. It is the blessing of Jin Li to regain the lost. Today, I accept God's will and obey the people's hearts. I enshrine the slave as King Li, and return the ancestral temple to continue offering sacrifices. I admire this."

Shu Jin bowed respectfully to Cang Luan, accepted the edict from the eunuch and said, "Long live my emperor."

Cang Luan carefully looked at Shu Jin—a person whom he had offended when he was a child, his appearance is quite different now from when he was a child, but his temperament is still the same.However, the impression of him in my mind does not seem to be as long as 15 years. It seems that I have met him two or three years ago, but where.

Cang Luan fell into deep thought, the hall was completely silent, and the officials were waiting for him to make peace.

The eunuch approached Cang Luan, bowed down and reminded, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty?"

Cang Luan was called back to his senses, and immediately said: "King Li, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shu Jin stood up, looked up at Cang Luan, and saw a puzzled look on his face.Shu Jin didn't know what he was thinking, pretended to rub his eyes, raised his hand to cover half of his face, and then returned to the line of officials.

Shu Jin cautiously cast a glance at Wang Yang who was opposite, never expecting that Wang Yang was staring at him, his eyes were clearly watching, and he did not avoid it.

Shu Jin stiffly bowed to Wang Yang, and Wang Yang turned his head to look at Cang Luan.

Wang Yang became suspicious. He did not deny Shu Jin's identity, but after seeing Shu Jin's face, he suddenly suspected the death of the fake King Li.The more clean the face, the more difficult Wang Yang felt.

Wang Yang walked to the center of the hall and said: "Your Majesty mistakenly promoted the false King Li at the beginning. It was His Majesty who made a mistake and should be punished. Now the Minister of Jin Li has contributed a lot to finding the right master, and should be rewarded heavily."

"What you said is very true. I have set up a state banquet to celebrate King Li. I will drink ten cups as a punishment to compensate King Li for the three years of suffering." Cang Luan raised his hand to signal the little eunuch, who held a beautiful The gift box walked up to Shu Jin.

"The jade seal of the State of Li used to be invaluable. When Emperor Xing destroyed Li, he destroyed it. It can be described as a major deficiency in Jin Li. Fortunately, at the beginning of the year, the Western Regions paid tribute to a piece of rare and beautiful jade. I specially ordered someone to make this Jin Li's jade seal. Give it to King Li."

Shu Jin really wanted to put on a polite smile, but the texture on his face didn't move at all, so he could only reply indifferently: "Thank you, Lord Ron."

After hearing this, the ministers were filled with emotion, bowed their heads, and praised: "Your Majesty is wise."

Cang Luan smiled and glanced at Wang Yang, who nodded silently, expressing his satisfaction with Cang Luan's performance.

At the banquet at the end of the dynasty, the smell of wine filled the court, and music from all directions recalled that Meiji was singing and dancing on the dance floor, and the swirling colorful silks swayed around, like the gorgeous clouds in the sky, falling wantonly on the ground and on the tables of the ministers. on the case.There were laughter and laughter in the main hall, and everyone enjoyed themselves as they wished, without restraint or dogma.Except for Wang Yang's birthday, the court has rarely been so happy.

After drinking ten cups of wine, Cang Luan was overwhelmed, and with the help of the eunuch, he went back to the palace to rest.

"Ten glasses of wine." Shu Jin murmured to himself in a low voice, turned the glasses in his hands, and then got up to leave the table.

Seeing that something was wrong with Shu Jin, Wang Yang quietly said to the attendants beside him, "Keep an eye on King Li. If he sees His Majesty and says something, report to me truthfully."

"Yes, sir."

Shu Jin came out of the hall with a hint of guesswork, walked purposefully but aimlessly, looking left and right.

Walking into a quiet aisle, the bushes in the distance shook from time to time, Shu Jin gathered his composure, expecting that there was someone there, it must be the boy sent by Wang Yang.

As expected, Wang Yang was as careful as dust and took every step of the way. Shu Jin felt ashamed, a little disappointed, and planned to return to the banquet.

Just as Shu Jin turned to leave, his mouth was suddenly covered with a slap, and he was taken into the pavilion next to him in an instant.

As soon as the man in the darkness let go, he put Shu Jin on the ground, then he walked unhurriedly to a table beside him and sat down, drank a small cup of tea, and asked eerily in a small but magnetic voice, "How do you know?" Have something to say to me?"

Shu Jin recognized Cang Luan's voice, felt a little rejoiced in his heart, stood up steadily, and saluted Cang Luan.Guess is right, he really is not drunk.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Sometimes Wang Yang doesn't want to speak out, and Cang Luan doesn't bother to ask.Although Wang Yang didn't say anything, Cang Luan could feel that he didn't want to talk to Shu Jin by himself, maybe what kind of person Shu Jin was, he didn't have a conclusion in his heart.

"You are Shu Jin?"

In the morning, when Shu Jin covered half of his face, Cang Luan suddenly remembered who he was, he was a white-faced young man who talked about the current situation when Youyu got married.Cangluan didn't intend to see him at first, but after knowing that Shu Jin was from the Ru camp, his nerves became sensitive.It's not easy for someone who can quietly "hook up" himself under Wang Yang's nose, which shows that this Shu Jin is not a mediocre person.

"It's rare that His Majesty still remembers the humble minister."

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Shu Jin walked to Cang Luan and sat down, thought for a while, and asked, "I want to ask Your Majesty how it feels to live in the Xing Palace for many years?"

After Cang Luan heard this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He turned to look at Shu Jin seriously, with a warning tone in his tone: "Prince Li, I heard that you can speak wisely? Why is this sentence so ugly? This is Yanhuang Palace."

In the night, no one could see who's face clearly, but Shu Jin knew Cang Luan's expression at this moment, if he could see clearly, his red pupils must be burning with anger.

"No, this is the Palace of Punishment."

Cang Luan slapped the desk table with his palm, almost going into a rage, but after thinking about it, the person in front of him also had guts. "Jin Nu, you are not ashamed of your words."

Shu Jin dared to say this because he already understood Cang Luan's heart and mind. Cang Luan always admired people who dared to speak and act bravely.

Shu Jin took the courage to continue: "Emperor Xing destroyed the seven kingdoms and unified the world. He established Luzhou as his capital. The city wall is three feet long, and the Chentian Palace is twelve feet long. It is the largest palace in the world. It is huge and unprecedented. The emperor is unparalleled in dominance, and the country's scholars are unparalleled. The emperor who lives in the Xinghuang Palace is not only the lord of the world, but also the emperor who will not leave the princes."

Cang Luan received a knowing blow from Shu Jin, and wanted to slap his mouth, but his words were not without reason.Cang Luan endured it, and in the night, his angry hands crushed the cup until it bent.

"You are saying that I am not worthy to live in this palace, do you think I dare not destroy your little Jinli?"

Feeling Cang Luan's anger, Shu Jin's goal was achieved.

"I don't mean that, what I mean is that compared with Emperor Xing, His Majesty has less ambition."

It was the first time in Cangluan's life that he heard that he was inferior to others, and it was said from a weak patient like Shu Jin, which made him feel ironic.I'm afraid that without him, I would never hear such cruel words in my life.

"I like to hear what you say, but do you think I'm a foolish king like Xinghuang!"

"Your Majesty misunderstood. The Xinghuang who ruled the world was not a foolish emperor, but the Xinghuang who unified the world is a foolish emperor."

"King Li, do you know what you are talking about? You are urging me to destroy the princes. Based on this alone, I can put you to death."

"Your Majesty misunderstood my ministers. There are Huns, Fuyu, Beiliao, and Wuhuan in the north of the Central Plains, Cheshi, Loulan, and Qiang in the west, and Ailao in the south. Why does your majesty think that you are referring to the princes? Instead of angering the princes, your majesty should go out Expand the territory to show the power of heaven. The Central Plains is just a corner of the land, and His Majesty is a rare genius that is rare in a hundred years. What Emperor Xing can do, His Majesty has already done, and what Emperor Xing cannot do, His Majesty can also do."

"You—have guts."

……

At the banquet, the attendants sent by Wang Yang hadn't returned, but Shu Jin came back first.Wang Yang felt it was unbelievable, got up and went out of the hall, found his attendant and asked, "You lost King Li?"

"Sir, please punish me. When I was following King Li, I suddenly saw a figure flying behind the bushes. When I turned around, King Li disappeared. I searched all over the place, but I couldn't find it. Until I heard the maid Said that King Li returned to the banquet, so I rushed back."

Wang Yang said carefully: "Have you seen anything wrong?"

The attendant carefully recalled the scene at that time, but couldn't be sure, shaking his head.

"Where is His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is taking a bath and getting ready for bed."

Wang Yang looked back helplessly at Shu Jin who didn't eat or drink in the hall. His complexion was pale, and there was a haggard look between his brows. He seemed to be a short-lived person. He would return to Jinli in two days, so maybe you don't need to watch him closely. I was worried. "That's all."
