In the palace, Jia Jing followed Dai Quan and headed straight towards the Dragon Shou Palace.

"The Marquis must be careful when entering the palace this time!"

As he moved forward, Dai Quan suddenly said this.

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing couldn't help but feel moved, and hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your reminder, I'm very grateful!"

Dai Quan nodded, no longer spoke, and just walked forward quickly.

...

In the Dragon Head Palace.

When the Supreme Emperor saw Jia Jing arrive, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring a brocade stool over.

Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor first asked about Jia She's burial situation, then he was sympathetic and emotional, and said homely words to Jia Jing for a long time.

Then, he asked about the training status of many soldiers under Jia Jing's command, etc.

Jia Jing answered them one by one.

Then, the Supreme Emperor suddenly asked, "What does Zhaowu Hou think of Prince Zhongshun?"

When Jia Jing heard this, he was stunned. Why, are you asking so directly now?

But seeing the Supreme Emperor looking at him with a bright look, Jia Jing smiled and said, "Prince Zhongshun is the orphan of the first prince, fortunately, thanks to the current priest's kindness, he has never pursued him. He should think about the great grace of the emperor and serve the country with loyalty!"

Faced with the extremely direct inquiry from the Supreme Emperor, Jia Jing's answer was naturally very direct.

However, seeing the emperor's gradually gloomy face, he was obviously dissatisfied with Jia Jing's answer.

"The former emperor has gone to find you, I guess you should know the whole story!"

The Supreme Emperor hesitated for a moment and chose to show off with Jia Jing. "Can an emperor without descendants really make you loyal to him?"

Jia Jing still had a faint smile on his face, "The Supreme Emperor was wrong. What we were loyal to in the founding lineage was the Great Zhou Empire. Whoever became the emperor would naturally be loyal to whom!

And now, Emperor Hongde is the orthodox of my Great Zhou!"

"Bang!"

The Supreme Emperor slapped the table in front of him and said, "What if I want to change the emperor of the Great Zhou?"

Jia Jing's expression remained unchanged, "The Supreme Emperor should understand that now, Emperor Hongde is the orthodox of my Great Zhou!"

The implication is that now is no longer the era when you can control the court at will. If you want to change the emperor, there is no way!

Jia Jing's words made the Supreme Emperor's expression even more ugly.

Dai Quan next to him was already stunned. Is Zhaowu Hou so brave today? He actually started to beat the Supreme Emperor in person!

At the same time, there was a smart eunuch outside the hall who had already gone to report the message to Emperor Hongde.

"Ahem!!"

After a violent cough, the Supreme Emperor pointed at Jia Jing, "Okay, okay, you are indeed a good minister of my Great Zhou! Could it be that you have forgotten who promoted you back then?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing bowed and said respectfully: "I have always kept the grace of the Supreme Emperor's knowledge of his grace in mind!"

"Then did you repay me in this way?"

The Supreme Emperor said, and there was another cough.

"So, this is also the reason why I did not lead troops to the Zhongshun Palace after I learned the whole story the day before yesterday!"

Jia Jing sat there, his voice faintly reached the Supreme Emperor's ears, "And these should be worthy of the Supreme Emperor's grace!"

Hearing Jia Jing's words, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but stagnate.

When it comes to the revenge of killing the father, no matter how great the kindness is, it can be offset!

In the heart of the Supreme Emperor, he couldn't help but curse Prince Zhongshun again.

"If he hadn't been so brainless, why would he have reached this point today?"

…………

Not to mention that the Supreme Emperor cursed Prince Zhongshun in his heart.

On the other hand, the entire southern city district of Shenjing also launched a massive campaign to clean up the thief's den (find faults).

The initiator of the event was Qiu Liang, the commander of the Wucheng Military Command in the South City of Shenjing. The executor was a group of soldiers of the Wucheng Military Command.

The participants were all the shops run by the Zhongshun Prince Mansion, as well as gambling files, pawn shops and other places operated by the White Gloves under the Zhongshun Prince Mansion.

After a series of smashing and destroying... it was not right. It should be that after the inspection and rectification, all kinds of swords, crossbows and arrows related to the remnants of the deposed prince were "searched" one by one, and many shops and gambling pawnshops were successfully closed. One by one, one by one, was crossed by the soldiers and pasted on the doors of these shops. The red seals of the military officers in the middle made the shopkeepers' eyes hurt.

"Hurry, go and tell the boss!"

"Just say that our shop has been sealed by the Five City Military Commanders!"

The servants were urged by the shopkeepers and went to the Zhongshun Palace one after another.

…………

There was silence in the Dragon Shou Palace at this time.

After a long time, with a glimmer of hope, the Supreme Emperor spoke, "If I mediate from it, how about you let go of this grudge between you?"

After a pause, the Supreme Emperor continued, "I can guarantee that he will not seek trouble for you in the future!"

Jia Jing still smiled at the words of the Supreme Emperor, "The Supreme Emperor knows that the day before yesterday, the emperor came to the minister of his residence to look for him. I once told the emperor that if the king treats his ministers as brothers and feet, then the minister treats the king as his confidant!

Today, I will also give this sentence to the Supreme Emperor!

In addition, I want to say that Prince Zhongshun is definitely not a good person suitable for the helm of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I hope the Supreme Emperor will think twice more!”

On the outside, Jia Jing meant one. Prince Zhongshun was not a good choice. If he wanted to be the emperor, he would be the first to object!

Seeing that Jia Jing had already said this, the Supreme Emperor didn't want to say more.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hand, and said, "I am tired, Mr. Zhaowu will retreat first!"

"I'm going to leave!"

After getting up and bowing, Jia Jing turned around and left the Dragon Shou Palace.

...

Behind the emperor leaned on the low-slum and whispered:

"If the king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the ministers regard him as his heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers regard him as his countrymen; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the ministers regard him as enemies...

Is this already to the point of an enemy?”

……………………

Zhaowu Hou Mansion.

In the backyard, Lin Daiyu was chatting with Xue Baochai in the room when she suddenly heard a strange sound outside the door.

"Xueyan, lift the curtain quickly, the marquis is back!"

It turned out that it was the parrot raised by Lin Daiyu, who was shouting loudly.

Before Xueyan came out of the inner room to check the situation.

Outside, Jia Jing was already carrying a parrot cage and lifted the curtain and came in.

As soon as he entered the door, Jia Jing smiled and said, "It's so cold today, why did you keep the parrot outside? Are you not afraid of freezing it to death?"

Hearing this, the parrot shouted again: "It's frozen to death! It's frozen to death!"

In the room, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai had already come out. They saw the parrot shouting "Frozen to death", and they couldn't help laughing.

Xueyan was sobbing that she hurried over to admit her mistake, "Mr. Marquis, I'm all blamed for being playful today and forgot to bring the parrot into the house..."

Jia Jing said: "Nothing happened today, so that's fine! If there is such a situation in the future, we will be severely punished this time!"

"Thank you for forgiveness by Marquis!" Xue Yan hurriedly bowed her head and bowed.

Jia Jing handed the parrot cage in his hand to Xueyan, "Okay, hang the parrot cage first!"

Next to him, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai had to come and asked again: "Why are you back so early today?"

Cooperating with Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, Jia Jing took off his cloak.

"I didn't go to the camp today. I was stopped by the old man Dai Quan from the Dragon Shou Palace on the way..."

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai couldn't help but suddenly realize that no wonder they came back so early.
