I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 31 Cao Liusun

"How is it? Are you satisfied with my gift?"

Emperor Jiajing looked at Fan Li with great interest, the smile on his face still remained.

satisfaction?

This insulting gift is comparable to sending beggars away.

If it wasn't for the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Fan Li really wouldn't mind killing him with a sword!

Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting high on a futon, didn't care what Fan Li thought at all.In other words, he believed that Fan Li's surrender to the Ming Dynasty today was a certainty.

"Unifying the world is just a small goal of mine. Within a hundred years, I will transcend the tribulation and ascend, and then I will pass the throne to the prince. You are still young. As long as you serve the new king well, you may have a chance to become the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. "

Emperor Jiajing talked to himself, as if the overall situation was under control.

Fan Li almost wanted to laugh!
Good guy, how bad can my treatment in Daming be?

After surrender, does it count as just being at the bottom of the cabinet?It turns out that in the entire Jiajing Dynasty, he will never be the chief minister?
Cattle!
Jiajing is so awesome!

This entire reverse negotiator expert!
Fan Li had always been worried that Lu Chunqiu would be recruited by Daming, but seeing Emperor Jiajing's virtue, his worries seemed superfluous.

While he was complaining about Emperor Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng, who was guarding outside the palace, suddenly came in and reported to Emperor Jiajing.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, Han Zuo General Liu Bei, Hussar General Sun Quan, and Sikong Cao Cao have been invited."

Fan Xin was taken aback!
Does Emperor Jiajing have such a big appetite?

Not only do you want to recruit yourself, but you also want to recruit the courtiers of the big man?
And it's in this city of Lu?
Extremely arrogant!

I really don’t take Liu Xie and Xiang Ning seriously at all!
A series of steady footsteps came, and then three figures stood on the right side behind Fan Li.

Cao, Liu, and Sun were all surprised when they saw Fan Li!
They were very self-aware and did not stand side by side with Fan Li. Instead, they kept a step away and stood behind Fan Li to show their respect for this powerful official of Chu.

"Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan?"

It is very impolite to call someone by their first name.

But as Emperor Jiajing, it seemed reasonable.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty." The three bowed and saluted, but they did not kneel down.

Seeing this, Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly, showing displeasure.

He could allow Fan Li not to kneel, because Fan Li was the actual ruler of Chu after all, and even Emperor Jiajing was willing to show respect by waiving courtesy.

And the three people in front of them, although they are all first-rank officials in the big man, their power is actually very limited!
Emperor Jiajing originally planned to recruit Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo did not accompany Emperor Han.

The next best thing is that these three people are also well-known, so Jiajing is reluctant to recruit them.

Jiajing felt that it was very disobedient for the three of them not to kneel down even though he was so kind to him.

He was a little annoyed by the three of Cao, Liu and Sun, so he said patiently: "When you return to Daming today, I will grant you titles. Cao Cao was granted the title of Guiminghou, Liu Bei was granted the title of Shuntianhou, and Sun Quan was granted the title of Zhiminghou. As for the actual appointment of official positions, I will wait for you. Think again."

Destiny?

Knowing fate?

Suncheon?

Fan Li almost laughed out loud when he heard the names of the three marquises.

As long as Cao Liusun wants to show face, he must refuse Emperor Jiajing's solicitation.

really!

None of the three are ordinary!
The slightly awe-inspiring expressions on their faces disappeared in an instant, leaving only the unyielding and anger of the heroes in the face of adversity!
Cao Cao was the oldest among the three, and he spoke first.

"Your Majesty made a mistake. The three of us are all Han officials. We live on the Han salary and serve the Emperor Han for life. How can we abandon the old master and seek refuge with the new emperor?"

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry. He just asked: "With the strength of our Ming Dynasty, if we attack the Han Dynasty, are you going to fight stubbornly and be buried with the Han Emperor?"

Liu Bei stood up and replied: "When a man walks in troubled times, he should be upright. Even if he is in adversity, he should keep his dignity and wait for the right time!"

Jiajing asked again: "I rarely see Emperor Han, what kind of master is he?"

Sun Quan came out and replied: "The master of wisdom, benevolence, and strategy."

Jiajing laughed!

The laughter is like a dragon chant, as if it can rush out of the top of the palace and fly into the sky!

"The big man has Dong Zhuo controlling the government, and Liu Xie is like a puppet. Your praise is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Sun Quan replied: "It's not exaggerating! I, Emperor Han, used Dong Zhuo to destroy the ten permanent attendants. It is his wisdom. It is his wisdom to promote the three of us to restrain Dong Zhuo."

"The big Han never took the initiative to attack the Ming and Chu countries, it is his benevolence."

"Three National Alliance, it is their wisdom to leave Dong Zhuo idle in the capital."

"Living in the deep palace and watching the world as a tiger, it is the hero of Princess Changle to get close to the pure land of Sanskrit music."

"It's my lord's strategy to befriend Emperor Chu and alienate Your Majesty."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he bowed deeply, bent over more than [-] degrees, and could almost touch the upper of the shoe with the top of his head.

Fan Li almost clapped his hands!
Cao Liusun is really a talent!

In particular, Sun Quan was very flexible and flexible. He first praised the Han Emperor with great righteousness, and then showed weakness with courtesy, so as not to anger Emperor Jiajing and kill him on the spot.

Among the three, Fan Li especially admired Sun Quan.

It's a pity that he knew better than Emperor Jiajing that Cao Liusun would never succumb to others, and he was the kind of person who was impossible to conquer.

"Hmph...hehe...hahahahahaha!!!!"

Emperor Jiajing laughed strangely first, then raised his head and laughed loudly.

He seemed to be smiling very smartly, and even stood up from the futon for the first time.

In an instant!
A powerful bright yellow dragon energy soared into the sky!

In this gorgeous palace, the sound of the dragon's chant can finally be heard very clearly.

"Very good." Emperor Jiajing smiled and looked at the three of them coldly. "You are indeed the loyal ministers of the big man. I won't kill you today, so let's go."

The three of Cao Liusun were relieved!
They were about to leave when they remembered that Fan Li was here, and all cast curious glances at him.

Emperor Jiajing also said: "Fan Aiqing, you alone are enough for me today. Stay tonight and have dinner with me."

What the hell!

This sounds too awkward.

It's just a meal, please don't talk about it as if you are sleeping!
The corner of Fan Li's mouth twitched before he said: "I'm afraid Your Majesty will be disappointed. If these three people will not betray the Han Dynasty, how can I betray the Chu Dynasty?"

As he spoke, he also bowed deeply to Emperor Jiajing.

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, the foreign minister will leave first."

When Emperor Jiajing heard the words, his face sank like water.

A cold light flickered in his eyes, and his killing intent was undisguised!
kill?

Still don't kill?

Today I wanted to recruit four people, but none of them succeeded. Jiajing only felt that his majesty was greatly challenged!
But when he looked at Fan Li, who was only in the realm of body refinement, his killing intent disappeared in an instant.

Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a Mahayana emperor to kill a body refiner!

Emperor Jiajing couldn't afford to lose this man!
"That's all...you all go..."

Emperor Jiajing sat down on the futon again, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if about to enter a state of meditation.

Fan Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but look at Cao Liusun next to him, and found that they also looked rejoiced and survived the catastrophe.

The four of them stepped out of the palace, and the soothing voice of Emperor Jiajing, but mixed with killing intent, came from behind.

"Unfortunately, this is your only chance."

"Golden cups to drink with you, white knives do not spare each other..."
