Chapter 1244 Absolute Loyalty

Seeing Li Sheng kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, Xiao Ruxun was not angry.

Or maybe he wasn't angry at all.

"When you got up, I didn't say I was very angry. Why did you plead guilty? Is this a crime?"

Xiao Ruxun's words stunned Li Sheng, who was still trembling and terrified.

"His Majesty……"

Li Sheng knelt on the ground and raised his head, looking up at Xiao Ruxun.

"Li Sheng, I didn't say you committed a crime. What makes me unhappy is that you didn't tell me about the 1000 taels of silver right away."

Xiao Ruxun hooked his fingers at Li Sheng: "Stand up."

With doubts and fear, Li Sheng got up from the ground tremblingly.

"Your Majesty... old slave... old slave really didn't mean it...really..."

"Li Sheng, in all dynasties, the most important word for being the emperor's confidant is loyalty."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Sheng: "What the emperor cares most about is loyalty. As long as you are loyal enough, 1000 taels of silver is nothing. You are still my loyal servant, but if you are not loyal enough, even if you don't take a penny, I won't give you a penny." It can turn you into a giant."

Li Sheng trembled and was about to kneel down again, but Xiao Ruxun directly raised his leg to touch his knee.

"Why are you kneeling? I haven't asked about your sin yet, why are you kneeling?"

"Your Majesty... old slave... old slave's loyalty to His Majesty is a lesson to be learned from the sun!"

Li Sheng raised his head and looked at Xiao Ruxun: "General Qi gave the old slave money, the old slave did not say anything other than His Majesty's permission, not a single word."

Li Sheng's lips trembled and his face was pale.

"Of course I know, if you say something, or if you want to say something, do you think you will have a chance to stand in front of Qi Dayong and get the money?"

Xiao Ruxun was smiling, but Li Sheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.

At that moment before, he almost forgot what kind of emperor Xiao Ruxun was...

"I put you by my side because I am optimistic about your loyalty, quickness in handling things and general wisdom. The people around me are not everyone who can do it. I am optimistic about you, so I promoted you to be my manager. , but what I don't understand is why you didn't tell me when you took the money?"

Li Sheng was trembling, unable to say a word.

"I don't care if you took the silver or not, what I care about is why you didn't tell me that you took the silver, answer me, Li Sheng, why didn't you tell me?"

Li Sheng became even more terrified, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, his legs trembled, his body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Li Sheng, I don't care if you take the silver or not. The silver you take is also the rewards I bestow on those ministers, or their own salaries. They think they have a lot of money and want to give it to you. I don't care. I care, but you, why do you want to hide it from me?

Ever since you came back, I have been giving you the opportunity to tell me about this matter, but you don't seem to have any idea to say it?You are my slave, everything about you, including your life, belongs to me, you should not have secrets, nor are you allowed to have secrets.

Li Sheng, let me remember that when you have a secret, that is, when I lose you, you are my loyal servant, and I am very optimistic about you. I don't want to lose you. "

Xiao Ruxun reached out and lifted Li Sheng up.

Li Sheng's lips were trembling, and his breathing was trembling. Looking at Xiao Ruxun's cold face, he closed his lips, swallowed, and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this old slave knows his mistake. I will never dare to do such a thing again. From now on, everything about this old slave belongs to His Majesty. Whatever His Majesty says, this old slave will do. Whatever Your Majesty wants to know, The old slave just said what, Your Majesty, the old slave knew his mistake, the old slave really knew his mistake..."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Sheng for a while.

"Really wrong?"

"Really...really, Your Majesty, this old servant really knows his mistake."

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"Okay, I believe you once and give you a chance."

Li Sheng's eyes widened immediately.

His body no longer trembled, and his speech no longer stuttered.

"Your Majesty is really willing to forgive this old slave?"

"You have no jokes."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "However, take out half of your 1000 taels of silver and put it into my internal funds. I don't have a lot of money."

"what?"

"Ah what? Don't want to?"

Xiao Ruxun frowned: "You can collect money because you are someone close to me, and because I promoted you to this position, you can enter the eyes of Qi Dayong and the others, otherwise you think Qi Dayong and the others will care about a person in the deep palace. Eunuch?"

"What His Majesty said... is very..."

Li Sheng lowered his head.

"So, everything you have is given to you by me, and it is because of me that you can collect the money. I share half of the money they give you with you, so it's nothing, right?"

Li Sheng hurriedly said: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count, His Majesty took it all away, that's what it should be! Everything that belongs to the old slave belongs to His Majesty!"

"No, no, save some money for your own retirement."

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand: "Your life is not so easy. I know it well. Anyway, the money you take is all given by me. The wool comes from the sheep. If they are willing to give it, I am happy to take it. You just need to remember, From now on, if I want you to tell Qi Dayong what, you will tell him.

If there are other people who offer bribes to you, you also accept them and tell me together. If there are other people close to me who accept bribes, you should also know and report them to me. Some people are so interested in me, of course I will Give them a chance. "

Li Sheng's pupils shrank, realizing what the emperor was going to do.

But he didn't have any choice, he knelt down immediately, accepted the emperor's order, and lived as the emperor's dog, as the emperor's minion, as in the past.

The minion who can't serve the emperor and can't bite for the emperor is the minion who is destined to be abandoned, and Li Sheng knows this clearly.

What the emperor needs is an absolutely loyal and meticulous dog, not a white-eyed wolf with ulterior motives.

Not only must he become such a loyal dog, but he must also help the emperor kill all the white-eyed wolves, otherwise he will be called a white-eyed wolf.

"Okay, get up."

Xiao Ruxun said, "Just keep this matter in mind. By the way, is Yang Yinglong's daughter pretty?"

Li Sheng was stunned, blinked, and immediately responded: "Yes, she is very beautiful. It is said that she is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Yang Yinglong regarded him as a jewel in his palm since he was a child, and loved him very much. Many local wealthy families have mentioned it to Yang Yinglong. Darling, but Yang Yinglong never promised."

"Oh, that's it, then I ordered to destroy her whole family. Now, she must hate me extremely in her heart, right?"

"This...Your Majesty, this is also human nature."

Li Sheng was a little bit embarrassed: "But don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty thinks, this old slave will definitely obey her training for Your Majesty."

"why?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Li Sheng with great interest: "The obedient and obedient training is boring, really boring, and has no energy at all. Moreover, I don't like the kind of training in the palace. If you want to train, I will do it myself." Come and train."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruxun waved for Li Sheng to approach and said something.

Li Sheng didn't understand this very much.

"Your Majesty, this...does this work?"

"Of course it works, and don't you find it interesting?"

"This……"

"Okay, do as I say, always stay in the palace to deal with government affairs, my head is getting big, I must have some fun, right? I also need to rest."

When Xiao Ruxun said this, Li Sheng said that he understood.
