Extreme alert

Chapter 1775
Li Bin was sweating profusely, which echoed the emperor's statement that the eunuchs were not in a hurry.

Hearing Shen Yue's almost thunderous reprimand to Zhao Ji, Li Bin was only worried. Seeing that Shen Yue turned around to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Shen, you haven't said what's going on here yet."

Shen Yue was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Ji, who couldn't be seen by the moonlight, and said in a deep voice, "I've said what I have to say, but what I have to do, you still need to do it yourself. No one can replace you."

After saying that, he walked out of Wende Hall and stood on the bluestone square in front of the hall.

Han Shizhong and the others had slightly surprised expressions.

They imagined the scene of the king scolding his courtiers, but they didn't expect Shen Yue to come here and teach Zhao Ji a lesson.

Li Bin chased him out, and regardless of Han Shizhong's presence, he grabbed Shen Yue's sleeve and said anxiously, "Mr. Shen, the villain knows that you are under great pressure and it is normal to get angry. But everything should be done slowly. Isn't it? What the Holy Majesty needs is comfort to strengthen his heart. I am afraid that the Holy Majesty cannot bear such a blow."

Shen Yue turned to look at Li Bin, "This world is not your nanny, and will not try to satisfy your delusions. Even the emperor, without the tempering of will, cannot grow."

Li Bin blinked, "I understand tempering, but it's too late. Mr. Shen, do you think... Tomorrow evening, the Holy Majesty wants to see Fang La?"

Shen Yue stared at Li Bin, "This is not a decision I have to make, the decision lies with Zhao Ji, don't you still understand?"

Li Bin was a little embarrassed, "I understand, I understand, then Fang La is going to kill the Holy Majesty, what should we do?"

Shen Yue said indifferently, "What do you think?" After saying this, he drifted away.

Li Bin scratched his head anxiously, and turned to Han Shizhong for help, "Master Han, what do you mean by Mr. Shen?"

Han Shizhong smiled wryly and before he could answer, he heard someone say in front of the hall, "Han Shizhong, you are Mr. Shen's elder brother after all. What do you think... what does Mr. Shen mean?"

It was Zhao Ji who spoke.

When all the guards saw this, they all knelt down.

Han Shizhong also knelt down, "I'm afraid I'm wrong."

Zhao Ji sighed softly, "Even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you. You need to get up first, so you don't need to be polite." Looking at the guards on duty around him, Zhao Ji ordered, "Get up."

The guards stood up with slight hesitation.

Han Shizhong hesitated in his heart, he had been guarding outside the hall just now, but he actually heard what Shen Yue said, and thought to himself, Brother Shen was the only one who dared to talk to Zhao Ji like that.

He hesitated because Liang Hongyu reminded him that when he first arrived in the palace, he should be careful everywhere to avoid mistakes.Companion to the emperor is like companion to the tiger. When the emperor is happy, your remonstrance today is a promotion step, but when the emperor is dissatisfied, your remonstrance may turn into a deadly sword.

Zhao Ji's face gradually turned dark.

Han Shizhong lowered his head and couldn't see Zhao Ji's face, but he could see the bright frosty color on the bluestone on the ground.

Trembling in his heart, Han Shizhong suddenly said, "I know what Brother Shen means."

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for the answer quietly.

Han Shizhong got up slowly and said, "If the Holy Majesty allows it, I would like to tell a story with the Holy Majesty."

Zhao Ji said indifferently, "Why don't you just express your heart, but want to use a story as an example? Is it because I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it?"

Han Shizhong was slightly startled, not expecting Zhao Ji to see through his intentions.

Zhao Ji said immediately, "What's your story?"

Han Shizhong was a little embarrassed, "It's just a small thing in my childhood."

Zhao Ji was slightly interested, "I don't know about your past, so let me tell you about it."

Han Shizhong pondered, "I don't look bad now, but in fact, when I was young, I was called the lame fifth by my companions."

Zhao Ji was slightly surprised, and glanced at Han Shizhong's legs, "I didn't realize that your legs and feet are inconvenient."

"It was a young thing." Han Shizhong recalled, "I don't know why when I was a child, my left leg was always weak when I walked. That's why I got this title. I feel very inferior. Although my mother encouraged me many times, I just couldn't cheer up. self-defeating heart."

Zhao Ji pondered slightly.

But Li Bin thought in his heart—the Holy Majesty has really changed. In the past, he didn't bother with these worldly trivial matters, but now he listens like this, which is really unprecedented.

"When my mother saw this, she said that there was a mountain temple on the nearby mountain that was very efficacious, and she prayed for everything. She went to the mountain temple to pray for my sick foot to recover soon, and a fairy dreamed that my foot would definitely recover. But I needed it. I do one thing."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ji asked.

Han Shizhong said slowly, "That requires me to go to the mountain temple alone and sincerely to pray for my wish every day, kowtow thousands of times, for half a year, and the mountain god will protect me from my illness."

Li Bin thought to himself, there is nothing more foolish than this.

Zhao Ji's eyes flickered slightly, he looked up at the bright moon hidden in the clouds, and said after a while, "You did it, so your feet will get better?"

He understood Han Shizhong's mother's painstaking efforts.

At that moment, he actually understood immediately, which even surprised him.

Han Shizhong said after a while, "Yes, I always thought it was the blessing of the mountain god, because children always regard their parents as role models and admire their words and deeds. When my mother said so, I believed it and firmly carried it out."

Zhao Ji murmured, "Very good."

When Li Bin was still confused, Han Shizhong said, "But I didn't tell my minister the truth until my mother was dying. She said—Zhong'er, there are no gods to bless you. What you have is your firm belief and determination. I lied to you because you haven't given up yet. I understand, but I don’t want to lie to you, but it’s because you need to understand after all.”

"What do you need to understand after all?" Zhao Ji murmured repeatedly.

Han Shizhong affirmed, "Yes, because my mother told me that gods and ghosts may protect you for a while, and anyone will only protect you for a while, but only when you truly understand the meaning of belief can you practice it for a lifetime."

Looking at Zhao Ji, Han Shizhong's eyes shone with brilliance, "I remember my mother's words, so I don't believe in gods and ghosts on the battlefield, only believe in knowing myself and the enemy, and careful planning is the way to survive. Only in this way can I fight on the battlefield for twenty years. There were minor injuries, but nothing serious."

Zhao Ji was thoughtful.

Han Shizhong's voice was agitated, and he said again, "I also heard that the eagle will let the cub spread its wings to the precipitous cliff and let it fly, so that the cub can learn to fly in a desperate situation."

Zhao Ji looked up at the sky, and the bright moon was looming.

"therefore……"

Han Shizhong took a little breath, and summoned up his courage, "I think Brother Shen meant nothing more than this. Others can only tell you that the bright moon will always be there. But although others can clearly say that you really know and believe this, you need to keep going. Get rid of the dark clouds that cover the bright moon, if you don’t hold on to it and just look at the dark clouds, even though the bright moon is there, it still won’t be there.”

Looking at Zhao Ji, Han Shizhong said slowly, "The disease is self-healing, Fang La is a disease created by the Holy One..."

Li Bin moved his lips, wanting to stop drinking, but it can be seen that Zhao Ji's expression was calm, and he finally held back.

"The real solution to this disease depends on the Holy One himself." Han Shizhong said slowly, "I think... this is what Mr. Shen means."

The bright moon reappeared, and the brilliance spread all over the world. The brilliance shining on Zhao Ji and Han Shizhong was no different from that shining on Shen Yue who was standing quietly outside the palace.
