"What do you want to say one more thing?" Ji Chen asked suddenly, with a somewhat casual tone, "What are your plans?"

There was silence all around, no one dared to speak, even though the voice came from the carriage, Ji Chen's words were exceptionally loud.

"Bold!" The monk slapped the table, feeling that his face was damaged, and he was furious, "Who dares to act presumptuously in front of the gate of my Huangjue Temple."

Needless to say, two thugs took the initiative to step forward and approached the carriage, and more thugs came out in a file, each holding sticks and spears, and more than [-] people surrounded Ji Chen and his party.

Tang Qian quickly clenched the handle of the knife, his eyes were fierce, and he signaled the surrounding guards to come closer, line up and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

The passers-by, who were still thinking about watching the play, saw that these people were about to make a move, retreated clattering, and were reluctant to run far, so they hid at the end of the street and watched here quietly, or peeked from the cracks in the house.

"You are bold!" Bai Qi lifted the curtain and got out of the car first, with a particularly cold tone, "The sword is directed at His Majesty, I think you are presumptuous, maybe you are thinking of rebellion!"

His Majesty?The monk's eyes widened, and he felt a little panicked, but the emperor hadn't been to Huangjue Temple for several years, and every time he came, he was not followed by a guard of honor that could fill two streets.He glanced at the ordinary carriage, and immediately felt relieved, "You dare to use His Majesty's name to deceive you, I think you are tired of your work! Come, take them down for me!"

Tang Qian drew his sword without hesitation, and the elite selected from the palace and the palace instantly dispersed the thugs of Huangjue Temple, and the sound of hacking and killing was everywhere.

The thugs are well supported on weekdays, and occasionally they scare the people and bully a few civilians, how can they compare with formally trained guards?They quickly broke up, and the monk saw that the situation was not good, and quickly fled towards Huangjue Temple, shouting loudly, "Come on, come on! Abbot, abbot, help!"

Ji Chen got off the carriage and glanced around.

The pigeon also flew over and rested on Ji Chen's shoulder.

The abbot was wearing a cassock and walked out angrily. When he saw Ji Chen who was guarded by everyone in the center, his legs almost went limp. He put his hands together and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The poor monk sees Your Majesty!"

His Majesty?Is this person real?

The big-bellied monk who was proudly following behind the abbot panicked, rolled his eyes, and fainted immediately.

The common people who were still poking their heads in the corner were also startled. They shrank their heads and knelt on the spot, not daring to look any more.

There was silence all around.

As early as the day when Ji Chen entered the palace, the small portrait depicting Ji Chen's face was secretly conveyed in the hands of high-ranking officials, but everyone who wanted to live a good life silently remembered this face in their hearts, and strived to see Ji Chen's face in their hearts. If you can recognize it at the first time, even if you can't please it, remember not to offend it.

What's more, they also collected the information of several important confidantes and friends around Ji Chen one by one, combined and sold them for profit.

The abbot was no exception. He spent 500 taels of gold to buy one, and carefully kept it away. As for the information of those confidantes, he just glanced at it roughly.

But he never thought that the portrait he remembered in his heart would be used here.

Unexpectedly, the abbot could recognize him. Ji Chen glanced at the scattered kneeling thugs and scattered weapons around him, and said in a boring tone, "Huangjue Temple said that there is a great gift to offer, this is the abbot If you want to assassinate me, you have a little less manpower, so you might as well bring an army next time."

The abbot wanted to die, and desperately defended himself, "Your Majesty, these are the monks who guard the gate. They don't know Mount Tai. There is no rebellious heart in Huangjue Temple. They have always chanted scriptures seriously and devoted themselves to the country. His Majesty!"

While crying, the abbot grabbed the monk who had fainted on the ground, and slapped him, "Idiot! Why don't you get up and plead guilty."

"How much gold did the late emperor entrust to you?" Ji Chen asked suddenly.

The abbot's hands trembled suddenly, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Chen, "This, I need to check the account book..."

Since he couldn't come to a conclusion, Ji Chen stopped looking at him, "Ask someone to ask Qin Sheng to come to Huangjue Temple to reconcile the account! If there is one tael of gold missing, you can go to the West Paradise to chant scriptures to the Buddha together!"

The abbot suddenly collapsed on the ground, his eyes glazed over.

After finishing speaking, Ji Chen walked towards the end of the street, and Bai Qi naturally followed.

Tang Qian grinned at the abbot, his black face was full of bad intentions, he ordered his men to surround the Huangjue Temple, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and said: "Abbot, Master Qin drove away from the palace. It only takes an hour to come here, and it won't take long to reconcile the account, you have to hurry up, if it's late—"

Before Tang Qian finished speaking, the abbot immediately got up from the ground and ran desperately towards the warehouse and the warehouse in Huangjue Temple.

Ji Chen glanced over, pointed out the previous passers-by from the crowd, and then asked other people to get up.

The passer-by was covered in cold sweat and slurred his speech, "Little man, the villain's surname is Li, Your Majesty can call the villain Li Da."

If he was about to die, he would have bumped into the emperor if he spoke boldly once. Li Da promised that he would be cautious in his life and would never speak easily.

Glancing quietly at the guard with a knife behind Ji Chen, Li Da's forehead was sweating even more. Just now he said that their generation will be infamous for thousands of years. Will the emperor let someone kill him?

Ji Chen naturally saw their uneasiness, so he asked someone to move a bench and let Li Da sit down, "Actually, what you said is right, it makes sense."

what?

Li Da was dumbfounded.

"When you find a problem, you have to say it." Ji Chen's gentle expression is particularly easy to gain the trust of others, "like Huangjue Temple, who can't solve the problem, but has to solve the person who raised the problem, the problem is serious and needs reflection. "

Thinking about the unlucky Last Emperor, even in the end, he didn't fully understand how he subjugated the country and why the people hated him so much.

Now Ji Chen doesn't mind the protagonist's rebellion, nor does he mind changing the dynasty, but how to lose and who to lose is the problem.

It is too embarrassing for the treasury to be defeated in a place like Huangjue Temple.

Li Da couldn't help but nodded, and when he wanted to speak, he held back his words, fearing that if he said something wrong, he would lose his head.

Bai Qi explained: "Actually, the first emperor passed away this month, and the crown prince also passed away recently. Your Majesty just ascended the throne yesterday. I don't know much about these things outside. These things in Huangjue Temple have nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Suddenly, Li Da relaxed a little secretly.

"Why don't you tell us something casually?" Ji Chen asked.

Li Da noticed that the emperor in front of him seemed to be extremely patient, even the pigeon beside him dared to boldly rub against the palm of the emperor, and the emperor would comfort it from time to time.

Li Da felt that the emperor didn't seem to be that scary, so he hesitated and said, "Then, let me say something casually?"

Ji Chen smiled and motioned for him to continue.

The scattered people gathered quietly again, secretly looking at Ji Chen.

Seeing that the two guards did not stop them, a group of people approached unknowingly, whispering together.

"What a young emperor! The emperor was still talking to Li Da, yet he didn't ask someone to cut him off."

"The emperor doesn't seem to be that bad. Wow, he even gave Li a big reward."

"But the emperor is quite good-looking, and the clothes are probably very expensive."

"The one in Tsing Yi next to him is also pretty."

"The two stand together, and they look like a good match."

The corners of Bai Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

The noisy communication stopped instantly, and the person closest to him glanced at the guard quietly, seeing that he was not coming, he raised his hand vigorously, and slapped the back of the head of the person who spoke last, "What nonsense are you talking, stop now!" Sound, you are dying!"

What if the emperor changed his mind when he heard this sentence, and cut them off in a rage?

The guard stood guard with a wooden face, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

In fact, he really wanted to say that these guards had undergone a series of training in order to prevent someone from assassinating the emperor, and their hearing was not bad, and he was even considered the best among them.

For example, he can now clearly hear the conversations of these people...

A small voice came: "Don't talk about it, didn't the late emperor take the treasury to repair Buddha statues back then? The emperor is the late emperor's own son, who knows what will happen to him in the future?"

Everyone was silent.

Bai Qi's face turned cold and he didn't speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Dacai laughed out loud when he saw Ji Chen and his group's carriage leaving, feeling a little elated, "Hahaha! Your Majesty rewarded me with a pair of small whitebait. He also praised me for speaking up, so there should be more in Kyoto." People like me. Your Majesty also said that since we are going to discuss current affairs, we should just circle a place for everyone to discuss together, and it is meaningless to talk alone."

The things passed down from the hands of the emperor may be stained with dragon spirit, so Li Da suddenly decided to keep the pair of whitebait well and pass them down as family heirlooms from generation to generation.

Most people swarmed up, "Let's take a look too."

There were also very few people who were contemplating, what does the emperor mean by allowing them to talk about these things?

Talking about government affairs is no longer prohibited as in the past?

In the carriage, Bai Qi was still a little angry.

Ji Chen was a little curious, and fiddled with his fingertips, "What are you angry about?"

"How could they do this?" Since being asked, Bai Qi simply grabbed Ji Chen's hand, quite annoyed, "This is clearly the late Emperor's fault, yet the common people blame you."

The warmth in the palm of his hand made Ji Chen stunned, and a sense of bewilderment rose to his heart.

Ji Chen barely kept his composure, "Who told me to inherit the throne from the late emperor and the crown prince? I get the benefits, but I can't get rid of the disadvantages. Besides, the people did suffer a lot from it, and it's only natural to have resentment."

Bai Qi was unwilling to accept it, "There is a grievance and a debt, and the late emperor and the crown prince treated you badly, so how can you call it a benefit?"

Ji Chen couldn't help thinking that his start like this was good enough.

The last emperor was miserable at that time, first he was inexplicably slandered and kicked out of the palace, and then he was welcomed into the Golden Palace because of the premature death of the crown prince.The father and brother have almost ruined the country, and they have contributed [-]% to the country's destruction. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the last emperor became the last straw that broke the camel's camel, and became the king of subjugation.

Having lived in the cold palace for many years, the Last Emperor really didn't have much affection for this country. Naturally, he didn't have the idea of ​​dying for the country. The enemy chose to sneak out of Beijing. Incompetent, cowardly and useless.

"That's something that can't be helped," Ji Chen said patiently, "People now think that the dead are the most important. What's more, the decree they issued at that time, and now the problem is in my time."

In fact, he didn't really care about it. After all, for him, subjugation is also an experience in life.

If you already know the ending, there is no need to be disappointed.

"I'll help you condemn your own edict and release it in the name of the late emperor. There are also some poems that can also publicize these things. After being sung by some singers, they can spread quickly..." Bai Qi began to seriously think of a way.

They don't accept this pot.

Standing in the corner, the pigeon tilted its head and looked at the two people in front of it. Seeing that they had been staring at each other, they had no time to take care of this, and quietly pushed away the plate of snacks with its wings.

Ji Chen stared at Bai Qi, feeling his heart throbbing.

Bai Qi's every word hit the bottom of his heart.

Just like a calm lake in the heart, the strong wind can only blow the surface of the lake, causing shallow ripples.But there is a green bamboo rooted on the bank, and the root system continues to spread to the center of the lake.The surface of the lake seemed to remain calm, but there were eddies within.

Ji Chen suddenly realized.

He is feeling sorry for me.

He didn't care too much about the Bai family's injustice, and he didn't care too much about people's evaluation of him. Instead, he took my matter to the bottom of his heart.

The carriage slid over a small dirt slope, and the whole carriage was bumped.

Ji Chen stretched out his hand to help Bai Qi, fearing that he would accidentally fall down.

Bai Qi held Ji Chen's hand tightly, staggered a step unconsciously, and fell into his arms.

Ji Chen supported the table on the carriage with one hand, and held Bai Qi's hand with the other.When he lowered his head, Bai Qi happened to give him a smile, as if he had expected that Ji Chen would grab him.

After a split second of contact, Ji Chen suddenly understood.

No matter how the future situation changes, I hope that when time comes to an end, I can still look at him and smile, and not regret the encounter on the road of life.

The carriage bumped again, then leaned to the right | a little, and was forcibly straightened again.

There was a sharp breaking wind.

Ji Chen suddenly felt something was wrong, he held down Bai Qi, and the two of them leaned forward at the same time.

An arrow shot in from the outside, passed through the curtain, and flew across the heads of the two people. The entire arrow sank into the walls around the carriage, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly.

"There are assassins!" There was an exclamation from outside.

Blood splattered and swords blazed everywhere.

"Coo coo coo!" The pigeon immediately raised its head from the snack, its cry was extremely rapid, and it flapped its wings and rushed out from the gap in the curtain.
