Chapter 72 The Emperor Is Becoming More and More Presumptuous

Shen Ning looked down at his hands, a pair of hands with distinct joints, very beautiful.

She thought carefully and found that she had no goal yet. Apart from revenge, she had no plan for what she would do.

She didn't even know what she wanted.

Travel around the world.

If life could really be so free and easy, why not give it a try?

However, traveling around the world is not an easy task. It requires a lot of financial support and the ability to ensure one's own safety. No matter who will be the emperor in the future, they must be able to protect themselves.

"If we are both alive, I can consider it." Shen Ning nodded slowly, "But instead of traveling around the world, it is better to be an imperial merchant."

Ji Yucang was slightly surprised: "Imperial merchant?"

Shen Ning nodded and smiled faintly: "After all, if people want to live freely, they need to earn a lot of money. Then we can do business in various countries. In this way, we can go wherever we want without worrying about money."

Ji Yucang raised the corner of his mouth: "You are right."

"You are now the regent. It should not be difficult to recruit a few people who can do business for you to use and make money for you secretly." Shen Ning said, with a subtle tone, "Although this sounds a bit abusing power for personal gain, collusion between officials and businessmen But if you only want to make money and don't do anything that hurts the world, you can earn more money to help the people in the world, and open warehouses to provide disaster relief when you encounter disaster victims. You should be able to live with your conscience. "

Ji Yucang's eyebrows are soft: "Even when you play, you care about the people. I think you are very suitable to be the master of the world."

"Your perception is wrong." Shen Ning said in a light tone, "Caring about the people is just a trace of compassion. Normal people will have this mentality, but it is not so easy to be the master of the world. First, I have no ambition, second, I don't like to be busy all day, third, I hate intrigue, and I hate to cause trouble. "

Ji Yucang didn't say anything, lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"When can the envoy of Nanzhao arrive?"

"After the wedding in Pingyao, before the end of this month." Ji Yucang said, "Han Xun, the loyal and brave marquis of Nanzhao, will also come."

Shen Ning was slightly stunned, loyal and brave marquis Han Xun?

Her childhood sweetheart in Nan Zhao, her husband, and the one who sent her to hell after marriage, is now her enemy.

Zhongyong Hou, it is really a title full of praise.

"Do you think Zhongyong Hou is really loyal and brave?" Shen Ning asked calmly, her tone was not clear, "I guess he may only have a name, neither loyal nor brave."

Ji Yucang nodded slowly: "If he is really loyal and brave, he doesn't have to come to Yongguo for help this time."

Shen Ning didn't say anything else. In silence, she was a little surprised at her calmness at this time, not just on the surface, but also in her heart.

I don't know if she can still be so calm after meeting people.

"Is he one of the ten important officials you mentioned?"

Ji Yucang hummed: "I heard that he is one of the most trusted people of Emperor Nan Zhao, and he was also the husband of the eldest princess. It is said that their love is stronger than gold. After the eldest princess died of illness, this loyal and brave marquis was heartbroken and fasted for three days. It was the emperor who issued an imperial decree to save the tragedy."

Shen Ning listened silently, and felt as if he was listening to someone else's story.

"In order to keep his wife pure, this loyal and brave marquis has successively rejected the marriage proposals of three noble ladies." Ji Yucang said indifferently, "Do you think it is credible?"

"Whether it is credible or not, at least most people believe it."

Ji Yucang's expression was deep: "This king really wants to know how loyal and brave he is, and how much love he has."

Shen Ning smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I want to know too."

...

I don't know what stimulated him.

In the following days, the emperor behaved particularly quietly. He never said a word during the court session. He was so calm that people didn't know what he was thinking. It seemed that the anger of being offended that day had disappeared, and he really became an unfathomable emperor.

Until October 14, there were only two days left before the wedding of Princess Pingyao, and the day when the regent would be poisoned was also approaching.

After the court session, Ji Jin called Ji Yucang: "Please ask the emperor to come to Chonghua Palace for a talk."

When Ji Yucang arrived at Chonghua Palace, Ji Jin ordered Zhou Fang to take out the antidote.

There was also an imperial edict placed in front of Ji Yucang along with the antidote.

Ji Jin picked up the imperial edict: "Uncle, take a look."

Ji Yucang didn't know what he was up to. When he unfolded the imperial edict, it was blank, and only the two words "abdication" were clear and distinct.

Ji Yucang raised his eyes, his gaze was deep and unfathomable: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

"The emperor's uncle is so anxious to seize power, isn't it just to become the emperor? This is still a blank imperial edict for the time being, but the emperor's uncle should understand what I will write on it." Ji Jin stared at Ji Yucang without blinking, not wanting to miss the slightest change of emotion on his face, "As long as the emperor's uncle agrees to my two conditions, the throne is yours."

Ji Yucang's face was as cold as frost: "What are your conditions?"

"First, kill Shen Ning; second, take this antidote."

Ji Jin smiled faintly: "I can write an abdication edict and give the throne to the emperor's uncle, on the condition that the emperor's uncle kills Shen Ning and takes the antidote in front of me."

Ji Yucang understood what he meant, and his eyes fell on the brocade box containing the antidote, with an icy and unpredictable look in his eyes.

"There are 24 antidotes in total. The uncle has used 15. I still have 9." Ji Jin said in a calm voice, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. "As long as the uncle takes the nine antidotes, I will immediately abdicate to him and will never let him fall into the dilemma of whether to continue to seize power or return the power of regent."

"The emperor is always too smart." Ji Yucang raised his hand to take the brocade box, raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes were indifferent as if he was looking at a stupid and ignorant child. "What does this king want? Go fight for it yourself. Whether you give it or not, it can't change the final result. "

"Uncle!" Ji Jin's face changed, gritting his teeth in anger, "I will abdicate to my uncle, and he can legitimately ascend the throne, but if the emperor usurps the throne, no matter how wise and wise you are, and how you expand the territory and leave behind great achievements, you will still be cursed for eternity in history books!"

"The emperor has become more and more presumptuous recently, and he is hopelessly stupid." Ji Yucang said coldly, "Come here!"

The imperial guards with knives rushed in.

Ji Jin felt cold all over, looking at Ji Yucang in disbelief: "Uncle, are you going to rebel? Uncle, don't forget that you are only the regent, not the emperor! How is this behavior different from treason?"

Ji Yucang's eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was even colder and piercing: "You will sit on the throne until you die, no one will take your throne, but the emperor will only have this throne for the rest of his life."

After saying this, he turned and left, and the aura of awe and murderous aura emanating from his body made people afraid.
