I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 524 Seal
A few months later, Jin Dynasty.

The head of the hundred officials is the Prime Minister Wang Ban.

But the one with the highest salary and the most honors and favors belongs to Taifu Zhang Daoling.

Especially Zhang Daoling himself firmly believes in this.

Tufu's Mansion.

In the fairyland-like garden, Zhang Daoling was watching fish.

He is wearing a crown robe that ranks higher than that of the Three Dukes. He has not worn the immortal robe of immortality in the lower realm for a long time.

Watching fish is a relaxing and leisurely activity.

One male and five female cranes are playing in the water. Their postures are elegant and free, as graceful as dancing.

Zhang Daoling had fish in his eyes, but he had other things in his heart.

"Ugh!"

"Time flies too fast."

"I made a one-year agreement with Emperor Jin, but now there is only the last month left?"

One month later, if Fan Li abides by his agreement, either the entire Jin Dynasty will ascend to heaven, or at least Fan Li will go to heaven with Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Daoling has been a tutor for nearly a year and is also aware of the current situation in the world.

How can the Jin Dynasty ascend to the national level if the world is not yet settled?
"Fortunately, Your Majesty has mastered the avatar, and can let the avatar follow me to the fairy world."

I don't know since when, in Zhang Daoling's subconscious, he has been thinking from the perspective of the interests of the Jin Dynasty.

Zhang Daoling, like other officials of the Jin Dynasty, knew a little about Fan Li's secrets.

For example, the so-called 'external incarnation'.

"Ugh!"

Another sigh.

Zhang Daoling felt guilty.

Fan Li's ascension to heaven, although it was a great cause of justice in the immortal world, was not a good thing for him personally.

In particular, Zhang Daoling came from the Huainan Kingdom in the fairyland.

Fan Li was brought to the immortal world by him, so he should belong to the Huainan King and fight in the territory of Huainan Kingdom.

"Huainan... If the king treats your majesty harshly, what should I do?"

Zhang Daoling became increasingly distressed.

He has been in the Huainan Kingdom for thousands of years and is familiar with the king's character.

Liu An, King of Huainan, was proficient in Huang Lao, erudite and knowledgeable, and his profound understanding of Taoism was said to rival the great emperors in the immortal world.

In addition, he is the grandson of the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and his status is extremely noble.

Originally, an Immortal King-level existence like King Huainan was not qualified to be recruited from the lower world.

However, relying on his background as the grandson of the Emperor of Han Dynasty, he actually managed to get a spot, and that was how Zhang Daoling came to the lower realm.

"wrong!"

Zhang Daoling's expression gradually became unnatural.

Because he suddenly remembered that he was obviously an angel from the lower realm of the Huainan King's sect, so why did he have to think about problems for the mortal emperor?

However, the next second, Zhang Daoling seemed to see the smiling face of Corporal Li Xian of Fan Li in the reflection of the lake.

"His Majesty!?"

He rubbed his eyes and found that his smile had disappeared.

Instead, it was Fan Li who looked angry!

Fan Li's reflection in the water pointed at Zhang Daoling and asked loudly: "I treat my tutor well, but my tutor allowed me to be humiliated by the King of Huainan. Why!?"

"no!"

"I don't have it!"

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..."

Zhang Daoling was so flustered that he started to quibble loudly.

But just as he was explaining his last resort, he saw the reflection in the water disappear, and there was still one male fish and five female fish playing.

It turns out...a fantasy?
Zhang Daoling was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

"Is Taifu happy?"

The person who came was none other than Fan Li.

He was wearing ordinary clothes, and he was accompanied only by Queen Qingqiu and the eunuch chief Qin Shun.

Zhang Daoling was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes to make sure this was not a fantasy, he lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down.

"No etiquette." Fan Li said with a smile: "This is not a court meeting, not to mention that I am here in a white dragon fish suit. I just don't want my master to be burdened by common etiquette."

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Daoling was extremely moved.

For the sake of himself, His Majesty, the Emperor of Jin, always avoids great gifts from monarchs and ministers.

He would never be able to enjoy this favor in the Huainan Kingdom of the Immortal Realm.

He looked at Queen Qingqiu again. They had a meal together. Zhang Daoling didn't take it seriously at first, but now it is often a talking point among his colleagues.

"See the Queen."

Zhang Daoling wanted to salute Qingqiu again, but he was held up by a soft and refreshing breath, making him unable to bow.

Today, Qingqiu is a veritable queen of the Jin Dynasty.

But she still looked as calm as before, with no expression on her beautiful face, except for the occasional swaying of a fox tail behind her, revealing her true mood.

Her tail represents her mood, which is no secret in Dajin.

"I brought some delicious food."

"Please eat together."

Qingqiu spoke expressionlessly, but his tail swayed happily.

Qin Shun, the chief eunuch, stood behind her, carrying two gourmet food boxes in his hands.

"Thank you... thank you for your gift!" Zhang Daoling became more and more excited.

Queen Qingqiu gave me a meal?

In the Jin Dynasty, how many ministers could have this honor?

Zhang Daoling firmly believes that he is the only one who has the scorpion's tail!
However, the more glorious he felt, the deeper the guilt in his heart!

Zhang Daoling is not good at hiding his thoughts, and his mood is almost written on his face.

Fan Li seems invisible?

He found a pavilion, enjoyed delicious food with Zhang Daoling and Qingqiu, and then talked loudly.

What was discussed was the Jin Dynasty's plans for the next few years, including major events such as diplomacy, military, and economy.

Zhang Daoling pretended to listen carefully, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Could it be that he wants to break the contract?"

"The fairy world is difficult. Although I cannot reveal too much, your Majesty is extremely smart. Even Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty could guess the fact. How could he not think of it?" "Your Majesty and the Queen treat me so favorably, I am afraid they are trying to block me. Mouth, delaying going to the fairy world."

"Sigh... This is human nature... but I have a mission, how can I be tolerant?"

Because of Fan Li's "bad faith", Zhang Daoling gained some confidence.

"Since Your Majesty betrayed me first, if you forcefully capture him and take him to heaven, it does not count as my betrayal."

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Fan Li change his subject.

"Master."

"My talents and virtues are limited. Although I have racked my brains to plan the future for Da Jin, there are inevitably some mistakes."

"Please ask Taifu to check and fill in the gaps, I will be grateful!"

Zhang Daoling listened to Fan Li's sincere tone, as if he was asking for advice like a student in the past.

He was confused and couldn't help but ask:
"His Majesty's plan for the Jin Dynasty is flawless. Even if there are any flaws, they are probably just minor problems encountered during the implementation process, which are not what Your Majesty can predict now."

"To check for leaks and fill them up, His Majesty only needs to strengthen supervision during implementation. It is expected that there will be no problems."

"Why bother chatting with Weichen? Isn't it a waste of time?"

At the end of the sentence, Zhang Daoling's tone was a little sour.

Sure enough, the emperor has ten thousand ideas, how can he confide in his ministers?

After all, is the relationship between the two parties using and being used?

The king's kindness is like the sea, it's just a show.

Thinking of this, the enthusiasm in Zhang Daoling's eyes dissipated, leaving only cold eyes.

He felt that he had seen through Fan Li's hypocritical face, and gradually became disappointed.

"Uh, is it?"

Fan Li scratched his head in embarrassment.

It seemed that his lie had been exposed, but he did not anger Zhang Daoling.

strange?
Why this reaction?
Zhang Daoling was confused, and Fan Li had already begun to explain.

"In one month, I will go to the fairy world with Taifu."

"My other body wants to stay in the Chu Kingdom, and I don't care about the Jin Dynasty."

"I'm afraid the future of the Jin Dynasty will be left to the Queen and the ministers. I'm really worried, so I came to ask the Grand Tutor for advice..."

Fan Li had a look of loneliness and regret on his face, but he had no intention of blaming Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Daoling was shocked!

It turns out that he still remembered and never planned to break the contract?
Is he actually judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart? !

At this moment, Qingqiu happened to be holding Fan Li's arm, and his originally indifferent and calm face was now full of attachment and reluctance!
If Fan Li hadn't made up his mind to go to the immortal world, how could Qingqiu be like this! ?

Zhang Daoling's face turned red with shame!

At the last moment, it turned out that he had forgotten his duty as a minister?

The emperor consults his ministers about state affairs. As a minister, I, Zhang Daoling, can use my clever words to evade my responsibility?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Zhang Daoling gritted his teeth, as if he had made some determination.

"Master, please speak."

Fan Li still looked like a good student who was being taught.

"I am all ears."

Regarding the future planning of the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Daoling had no suggestions.

Governing the country is not what he is good at.

But he knew that what Fan Li needed most was time!
The alliance and the Ming Dynasty fought several fierce battles. Although they were temporarily dead, it was just the calm before the storm.

A war to destroy the country is brewing!
Fan Liruo ascending to the immortal world at this time will definitely be a great disadvantage to the alliance!
"You have something to do, please submit to me!"

A truth that usually sounds quite disdainful is constantly amplifying in Zhang Daoling's mind.

"Your Majesty, if I buy another year for Your Majesty, will it be enough?" Zhang Daoling's voice was trembling when he spoke.

"One year?"

Fan Li didn't seem to understand, and his face was full of confusion.

"What year?"

Gudong!

Zhang Daoling swallowed hard, but his voice became firm.

"Your Majesty can ascend to the immortal world for one year."

"If His Majesty defeats Emperor Jiajing within a year, he will no longer have any worries and can fly to the immortal world with peace of mind, right?"

When Fan Li heard this, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

"This is an act that defies heaven. How can Tai Tu do it?!"

"can!"

Zhang Daoling nodded, but said in his heart that this was not defying heaven, but bullying him.

To be precise, he deceived King Huainan.

"What should Tutor do?" Fan Li asked excitedly.

"This... is actually very simple."

"As long as your majesty removes the seal on me and my cultivation level recovers, I can communicate with the immortal world."

"I will report to the Ming Dynasty that the Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are at war. Please wait for your majesty for another year."

"If nothing else happens, the Immortal Realm should tolerate His Majesty for one year."

Zhang Daoling's tone was hesitant.

He had just judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, but now he was worried that Fan Li would misunderstand him and wanted to trick him into restoring his cultivation in advance.

"His Majesty!"

"Everything I said is true, and heaven and earth can learn from it! If I deceive you, I would rather suffer..."

"Teacher!"

Fan Li raised his hand to stop him from swearing, and his expression was gentle and apologetic.

"That day when I first met Taifu, I had no choice but to plot against Taifu."

"Thanks to my great master's magnanimity, he never cared about my faults."

"Even if there is no delay in praying to heaven, I should have restored the cultivation level for Taifu. The delay until now is my negligence."

Every word and sentence is full of sincerity.

Zhang Daoling's eyes were slightly red and he almost choked.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Fan Li waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say any more.

"Xiao Shunzi, please immediately invite the Prime Minister, Taiwei, Da Sinong and others."

"Today, I will bring the power of all my ministers to unblock the Taifu!"
