Raising the Demon

Chapter 689

"Your Majesty!" Zi Baifeng saw Ji Yan standing on the steps, cupped his hands slightly, and strode up.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Ji Er's face. Zi Baifeng's not-so-respectful attitude made Ji Er feel greatly offended, and the glass heart that refused to let go suddenly began to feel pain again.

In just a few days, after my Huangji Ascension Immortal Technique is successful...

What will happen after Huangji Shengxianjutsu?Ji Yan suddenly choked.

Could it be... to kill Zi Baifeng?

Although she had really imagined such a thing in her heart, at this moment, Ji Yan didn't dare to really do it.

And he had fantasized a lot about how to suppress Zi Baifeng's arrogance after seeing Zi Baifeng and make him bow to him, but when he finally saw Zi Baifeng, he found that his chrysanthemum was tight, and his legs subconsciously The ground tightened, and even the smile on his face subconsciously became warmer.

"Zi Aiqing!" Ji Yan took a few steps forward to cover up his inner panic. He didn't know why he was so flustered, but when he saw Shang Zi Baifeng's eyes, he felt guilty.

After all, Ji Yi is not a hero of the generation, he is just an emperor who has been supported. Although he is very good, as an emperor, he is still a lot worse.

Not to mention, Zi Baifeng once left too strong an impression in his heart.

"Zi Aiqing, you are finally willing to come to see me!" Ji Yan laughed loudly, patted Zi Baifeng's shoulder, and took the initiative to hold Zi Baifeng's hand.

The guards behind them looked at each other and exchanged an unknown look.

In the imperial study room, the two sides sat down as guests and hosts, and someone immediately offered fragrant tea. Ji Yan behaved like a very friendly emperor.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zi Baifeng got straight to the point and asked, "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that Baifeng doesn't know whether he should ask or not."

"Zi Aiqing, just say what you have to say." Ji Yan smiled.

Zi Baifeng frowned slightly, and said what he saw, and said: "Your Majesty, now that evil spirits are invading, the demon world is secretly plotting, and there are fallen immortals who don't know where, and the situation is critical. Why is Shangjing still singing and dancing, and there is no urgency. Has Your Majesty forgotten that when the Skylight Gathering Spirit Pagoda was activated, the ground was covered in thousands of miles, and the sky and the earth almost collapsed?"

"Oh, Zi Aiqing, you don't know something. Being an emperor is not as simple as it seems." Ji Yan had actually been waiting here for a long time. He sighed, his words were sincere and extremely equal: " Now Zaitian Mansion in the west has been hit hard, and it urgently needs a lot of manpower and material resources, while Shangjing has always been a rich place, and it still needs money and effort, so it must not be messed up."

Zi Baifeng thought about it carefully, but he felt that what the emperor said had some truth, but he was a little angry, he got up and saluted, "I see, Baifeng was too impulsive, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Where, where, if it weren't for Zi Aiqing, my kingdom would have been destroyed long ago. What Zi Aiqing did was for the sake of the country. If I had communicated with Zi Aiqing earlier, there would be no misunderstanding today. Already." Changing the subject, Ji Yu said with a smile: "I have long heard that Zi Aiqing's talent is unrivaled and the best in the world. When I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation. In this world, only Zi Aiqing's writings are so earth-shattering and direct. God listened."

Zi Baifeng smiled shyly, a little embarrassed by Ji Er's teasing, and said, "Your Majesty just joked."

Ji Yan laughed loudly, as if she didn't care about Zi Baifeng's previous offenses.

"It is said that Master Zi is talented and knowledgeable, but there are countless heroes in the world, so we should not underestimate him. Zi Aiqing, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Ji Yan laughed.

"Bet? What bet?" Zi Baifeng asked.

"In order to commend Zi Aiqing's achievements, I have prepared a big reward for Zi Aiqing. If Zi Aiqing can rank first in this test, I will give this big reward to you , and at the same time reward you with a rich fief. If Zi Aiqing hadn’t become Huiyuan, then this fief would be gone.”

"Just to become Huiyuan?" Zi Baifeng was grinding his fists, full of confidence, "Your Majesty, you are not joking!"

"Of course, you are not joking." Ji Yan said.

"That's good!" Zi Baifeng laughed. He felt that there was no motivation for this trip to Beijing, and it was meaningless to him to participate in any test. Even if he came out as the champion, he might not be able to seal a What real job.

He is now the Marquis of Beiwen and the magistrate of Zaitian Prefecture—although Zaitian Prefecture has become completely barren.

Even if it is the number one scholar, what is it compared to eliminating the catastrophe of the Tianguang Juling Pagoda?
But if a small bet is added, it will be completely different from before, and he will have the motivation to fight hard.

"In that case, I would like to thank Your Majesty." Zi Baifeng said, as if he had already pocketed the money.

Ji Qin sighed: "Zi Aiqing really has a plan in mind."

Zi Baifeng smiled and said nothing, his confidence was not born out of thin air.

After chatting a few more gossips, the monarch and his ministers had a good time, Zi Baifeng took the opportunity to find an opportunity, and said to Ji Mi: "Your Majesty, Baifeng has another unfeeling request."

"Please tell me." Ji Qin said.

"Bai Feng has a friend who also said some outrageous things in order to stand out for Bai Feng. Now he is afraid that he will be arrested. Bai Feng also wants to ask His Majesty to forgive my friend for his disrespect. I guarantee him I will never speak ill of His Majesty again in the future."

"Haha, it's easy." Ji Jing randomly found someone to come in and gave some instructions, and after a while Ji Jing wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Zi Baifeng.Ji Jing showed great generosity to Zi Baifeng's request.

Seeing that Zi Baifeng was about to leave, Ji Yan felt that it would be better if she reminded him.

"Zi Aiqing, this Xijing is not my Xijing. Now that I have become the emperor, many of my brother's cronies are still unwilling to submit. Most people know the relationship between you and me. Maybe some officials will make things difficult for you. You You still need to be careful, don't let them get caught." Ji Mo said.

Zi Baifeng replied yes, and said: "Thank you for reminding Your Majesty, I will pay more attention."

Ji Er smiled and nodded, seeming very happy.

After Zi Baifeng left, Ji Qin watched Zi Baifeng leave, her smile gradually became stiff.

Of course, he didn't ask Zi Baifeng to take part in the examination for no reason.

First, letting Zi Baifeng take part in the test is to find something for Zi Baifeng to do, to hold him back, so that he has no time and energy to make trouble, and in another seven or eight days, the Huangji Ascension Art can be completed, and then It takes 20 days to train usable manpower.During the past 20 days, he naturally couldn't let Zi Baifeng wander around, so he decided to help him find something to do.

But more importantly, as he said, no matter at any time, the world is not monolithic, and not everyone is happy to see Ji Yan sitting on the throne. Some of these people were loyal to the former emperor, some of them had sinned against Ji Liang, and some were old-fashioned and stubborn, thinking that Ji Liang was a king-killing superior, which was unreasonable.

But these most stubborn bosses are all in the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, even though he is the emperor, the test this time has already exceeded his control and has been controlled by a group of ministers who are dissatisfied with him.

Everyone knows that Zi Baifeng is his favorite and is on his side, and putting Zi Baifeng in the test is to let him go to the mines.

As Ji Jing himself said, the national power of the entire Celestial Empire is now seriously declining, and stability is indeed needed.

But these people are all people who threaten Ji Liang's rule. Ji Liang is struggling to deal with them. Now that Zi Baifeng is here, he can make good use of them.

This is certainly a plan to kill two birds with one stone, using Zi Baifeng to level the road, but he didn't realize that his heart was instinctively full of fear of Zi Baifeng, and subconsciously delayed the conflict with Zi Baifeng.

"Master Zi! Master Zi!" Before Zi Baifeng walked out of the palace, he heard someone calling him from behind. Zi Baifeng turned his head and saw that an official he had never seen was running towards him with small steps.

Zi Baifeng frowned and stopped at one side, looking at the official suspiciously, the official said: "Your Majesty is Si Qirui, the doctor of Zhongshu Province. Your Majesty entrusts you to be in charge of all matters related to your Excellency's food and living in Shangjing."

Zi Baifeng was stunned, this is a bit too exaggerated, he even sent a housekeeper for himself?
This Zhongshusheng doctor is at least a fifth-rank official. Although he doesn't seem to be a high-ranking official in Shangjing, he can be a prefect when he leaves Shangjing.

After looking carefully at Mr. Si, Zi Baifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Master Si, have we met somewhere?"

Lord Si smiled and said: "My lord, please don't call me my lord. I'm really ashamed. It's fine for my lord to call me Xiao Si. I used to be one of His Majesty's aides. Thanks to the lord Ron's favor, I resigned as an official." Take it, but don’t take it seriously.”

Zi Baifeng suddenly remembered that this person was seen by Ji Jing's side when Zi Baifeng met Ji Jing for the first time. It seemed that this person was really Ji Jing's confidant.

Why did he send such a person by his side?
The current Zi Baifeng is no longer the dumb-headed young man he was in the past. Ji Yan's attitude towards him is worth pondering, and this time the test is also tricky, but since it is beneficial, Zi Baifeng will naturally not back down.

"My lord, these days His Majesty called you into the palace, but you always refuse to see him. Many rewards have been delayed for a long time. His Majesty has arranged a house for you in the inner city, just waiting for you to receive it." Stadt is humane.

"This... No need, I have a place to live." Zi Baifeng said, he instinctively felt that if there is nothing to be courteous, it is either adultery or robbery.If you want to reward yourself, what have you done?

Moreover, why didn't you say it just now, but why did you send such a person to tell yourself?
Zi Baifeng naturally didn't know, the reason why Ji Jing didn't say it just now was because seeing him, Ji Jing felt great mental pressure.
