Stunning beauty

The night is so long.

The entire capital seemed to be having trouble sleeping.

The saint had two swords, one slashed at the monsters in the city, and the other slashed at the Dashang Palace.

Regarding the first sword, no one will have any doubts, but the saint's second sword is thought-provoking.

In the palace, people were panic-stricken, no matter whether it was the servants or the imperial guards, they were all silent, not daring to say much, and not daring to be troublesome.

The saint's second sword was seen by many people in the palace. It cut down the dragon and sent Zhenshi Jiuding flying. The sword energy flew straight towards the Shou'an Hall.

Then, Emperor Shang suddenly fell ill.

Whether there is any connection among them, no one knows.

No one dared to think nonsense.

Outside the Shou'an Hall, a three-foot sword stood with a sword, thirty feet away from the Emperor Shang's bedroom, and stood quietly like this without saying a word.

Half life practicing swords, half life living in the emperor's house, Sanchijian looked at the emperor's palace in front of him, looking back at his life, and suddenly found that it was so boring.

Thinking of this, Sanchijian couldn't help laughing at himself, his eyes darkened even more.

Perhaps, he really chose the wrong path.

"Master."

Not long after, Mu Bai walked out of Shou'an Hall, stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and called out.

"Your Highness."

The three-foot sword returned the salute, and said solemnly, "Master and servant are different, I can't bear the name of your Highness as a master."

"Master has the grace of teaching karma to his disciples. The title of master is worthy of the name."

Mu Bai said in a serious tone, "Master, this disciple has some doubts and wants to ask for advice. I hope Master can clarify the doubt."

Sanchijian was silent, and after a while, he said, "Please speak, Your Highness."

"One is filial piety, the other is swordsmanship, how should the disciple choose."

Mu Bai looked at the master in front of him, and asked with a complicated expression, "Father is seriously ill, and he asked the disciple to supervise the country. It's just that the disciple pursues the pinnacle of swordsmanship all his life, and has no intention of power. There are many conflicts between the two, and it is difficult to take care of it. So, please The master gave some pointers to solve the confusion in the disciple's mind."

"Your Highness is the prince, and it is a matter of responsibility to share your worries for His Majesty."

Sanchijian sighed softly, and replied, "However, Your Highness's swordsmanship talent is so high that I have only seen it in my life. It would be a pity if I gave up."

Having said that, Sanchijian paused, and continued, "I don't know how Your Highness should choose. Only Your Highness can make a decision about this kind of thing."

"If it's Master, how would you choose?" Mu Bai asked.

"minister."

Sanchijian hesitated for a moment, and said honestly, "20 years ago, I would choose power, but now, I will choose the way of the sword."

Unfortunately, he made the wrong choice back then, and now there is no way back.

Mu Bai heard the words of the master, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Master, do you regret the choice you made?"

Sanchijian trembled when he heard the words, and fell silent without answering.

"Disciple understands."

Looking at the master's reaction in front of him, Mu Bai seemed to understand something, he cupped his hands in a respectful salute, and then walked away.

The two passed by, Sanchijian turned around, looked at the disciples behind, and said seriously, "Your Highness, no matter what you choose, you must not let yourself regret it!"

Mu Bai heard Master's words behind him, stopped in his tracks, nodded in response, "Thank you, Master."

After finishing speaking, Mu Bai didn't say any more, and left alone.

Under the night, Sanchijian watched the back of the fourth prince going away, with a complicated expression.

There are not many opportunities to choose in a person's life. If you make a wrong step, you may never have a chance to look back. I hope that the Fourth Highness will not make a wrong choice.

"Queen."

At the same time, in the Shou'an Palace, the Emperor Shang dismissed the servants around him, raised his spirits, looked at Fa's wife at the side, and reminded, "Bai'er seems to be hesitant about the matter of supervising the country. As Bai'er's biological mother , Help me persuade me a little more."

"My concubine understands."

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubine will persuade Bai'er well. Your Majesty should take good care of your injuries these days and don't overwork."

"Bai'er has a good friendship with the son of the Li family. Let him handle the matter of making the Li family an imperial merchant."

The Emperor Shang closed his eyes and exhorted, "It can be regarded as the first major event that Bai'er has done since he supervised the country."

"Your Majesty, do you have any conditions?" Empress Changsun asked solemnly.

"No."

The Emperor Shang shook his head lightly, and replied, "This time, the royal family will step back, so that Bai'er will not be in trouble again. With such an arrangement, Bai'er must have no reason to refuse the position of supervisor."

"Your Majesty is worried."

Empress Changsun said softly, "I believe that Bai'er will be able to understand His Majesty's good intentions and complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty."

"The Patriarch of the Li family can be knighted."

The Emperor Shang continued in a calm tone, "However, don't give hereditary privileges. In addition, the most important and the only point that cannot be compromised is that the sons of the Li family must never enter the court."

"The concubine remembers it." Empress Changsun nodded slightly and agreed.

"Don't ask why?" Shang Huang opened his eyes and asked.

"The harem does not interfere in politics."

Empress Changsun replied, "Even though I am a queen, I can't overstep."

"Now it's me and you, there's nothing we can't talk about."

Emperor Shang said calmly, "The son of the Li family is a great talent. I have known this for a long time. The reason why I still refuse to use him is actually very simple. This son cannot be deterred by the imperial power."

Speaking of this, Shang Huang's eyes flashed coldly, and he continued, "Look at those people outside, including the so-called human sword fairy Sanchijian, they all have an instinctive awe of imperial power, so these people will always be respectful. It is impossible to threaten the imperial power, but the Li family's son is different, do you still remember how the Li family rose overnight and became the number one firm of the big business six or seven years ago?"

"Remember some."

Empress Changsun thought for a while, and replied, "For more than ten years, different companies have risen one after another in various places in Dashang. At first, we thought it was the golden age of Dashang. Until six or seven years ago, all these companies suddenly merged. Almost overnight, they all belonged to the Li family's name, and the Li family also jumped from a wealthy business to a behemoth with incomparable wealth."

"good."

The shop said coldly, "At that time, I knew that the Li family must have produced a great talent. At first, I thought this person was Li Wanwan, the head of the Li family, or Li Youwei, the daughter of the Li family. During the three-year contract with the Vermillion Bird Saintess, my son-in-law became a blockbuster, only then did I know that my previous guesses might have been all wrong."

At this point, the murderous intent flashed in Shang Huang's eyes, and said lightly, "Some things that happened later also proved this point. Learn the disguise of trash, and play with the people of the world. Empress, do you think such a person, above the court, who can check and balance him? Not just me, any emperor will not use it."

A big merchant may not have a great talent from ancient times, but there must be no more great thief with the power to steal the country!
