Chapter 225 Save the bait for fishing
The eunuch led Song Li to the inner treasury located outside the palace, turned a few corridors and saw the courtyard where the inner treasury was located. Lord Saint Emperor was standing in front of the treasury gate and looking at him with a smile.
Song Li bowed and smiled and said, "Uncle Saint Emperor, I'm so embarrassed to ask you to wait for your nephew here."
Song Xingtian smiled and said, "You have made such a great contribution. What's wrong with Uncle Saint Emperor waiting for you for a while? I have always attached great importance to those who can do things."
Song Li thought it was no wonder that the second uncle was able to ascend the throne. He knew better than Prince Zhong to know people and would win people's hearts. Not to mention whether this was true or a political means, at least he was willing to do this, and it seemed natural.
"If the Holy Emperor is not planning and the people sent by him are capable, the mission will not be completed by my nephew alone. You are equivalent to the marshal in the middle command, and the nephew is at most a general who charges in front of him. In the final analysis, it is your credit for Uncle Emperor."
Song Li put a high hat on the Holy Emperor, and since ancient times, he was accompanied by the king as a tiger. In the hearts of the superiors, it is most taboo to be a minister and be arrogant and be proud of his favor, which will shock the master. Therefore, when it is time to keep a low profile, you must be low-key.
Although he knew that this was a flattery, the Holy Emperor was still very happy. He did not give Song Li any specific combat plan, but he did send out more than ten masters and the Jinyu Knight Camp, so it is not far-fetched to say that he has a contribution to this.
The most important thing is that Song Li was young and did not show inappropriate arrogance after making contributions. He knew how to be restrained and humble, which made the Holy Emperor happy.
A minister who is not arrogant when he wins, does not discourage when he loses, and is able to do things and is very humble is the favorite among the superiors.
"Let's go, Uncle Saint Emperor fulfills his promise and will take you to pick the black gold stone." Song Xingtian signaled Director of the Cushion to open the Cushion Door.
After the two heavy iron doors opened, the Holy Emperor walked in first, and Song Li followed behind and looked around curiously.
It is rumored that the Internal Affairs Tank, which stores national treasures, is the richest place in the world. It stores rare treasures accumulated over the past 300 years of the founding of the Empire. Everyone's eyes shine when they talk about it after dinner. Unfortunately, no one has ever been to such a place except the Holy Emperor and the Director of the Treasury, so everyone can't tell the reason.
What disappointed Song Li was that the Internal Affairs Depot was not as magnificent as the legendary one. In fact, it was no different from an ordinary warehouse. The gray rooms were covered with gray boxes everywhere. As for what was contained in the box, it was unknown.
"Do you feel quite disappointed? You think the Internal Affairs Trustee is just like this?" The Holy Emperor noticed Song Li's expression and said with a smile.
"Haha, it's a little different from what I imagined." Song Li didn't hide his point of view.
"Where there are bright and beautiful places on the outside, they may be empty inside, or there may be dirt and dirt; where there are inconspicuous places on the surface, there may be other worlds. Whether it is a person or object, it is mostly like this. It may not be a good thing to be too sharp. When you grow up, you will be able to experience it more deeply."
Song Li felt that the words of Lord Saint Emperor seemed to have a deeper meaning. The more carefully he chewed, the more he felt it made sense. Is Lord Saint Emperor reminding himself to pay attention to restraining his sharpness?
Under the leadership of Director Ku, the two of them came to the box that specially placed black gold stones. These boxes were keyholes in the Gemini chain, and two keys were needed to open. One key was in the hands of Director Ku, and the other key was in the hands of Lord Holy Emperor.
Only when two keys are combined can the box be opened. If someone wants to steal the treasure, he must steal all the two keys. This is too difficult.
Director Ku first twisted the key hole in his hand and then heard a "click" sound in the key hole. Then the Holy Emperor inserted the key hole into another key hole and continued to twist it clockwise before opening the box.
The black gold stone lies quietly inside, as dark as ink, and the surface exudes a brilliant luster. The color is so black that it still has such a dazzling luster, which is indeed not an ordinary product.
"The black gold stones are all here. I promise to reward you twenty yuan, so you can take whatever you want." The Holy Emperor smiled slightly and waved his hand generously.
"Really? That little nephew picked up a big pick, don't you mind?" Song Li grinned.
"You don't have any jokes! I say I can take it casually, and it will naturally be counted. Just pick it." The Holy Emperor was amused. If it was an ordinary person, even if the things given to him by the Holy Emperor, it would probably be the smallest one to pick it up. But Song Li was different. He was so real. In front of the Holy Emperor, what others dared to say, and what others dared not do, he dared to do. What was surprising was that the Holy Emperor found that he not only did not hate Song Li like this, but he admired it a little.
Truth is sometimes also a valuable quality, especially for people like the Holy Emperor who are used to hypocrisy.
Song Li would never be polite to him as a tall, rich and handsome man like the Holy Emperor. He really picked up twenty larger stones and moved them out.
Seeing that Lord Saint Emperor and Director Ku looked at him with a strange look, Song Li spread his hands and said innocently: "You asked me to pick up the big one. Once the Holy Emperor opens his golden mouth, it will be an imperial edict. If I take the small one, wouldn't it be equivalent to resisting the edict?"
Director Ku glanced at the Holy Emperor, shook his head and smiled, "I have never seen an official like Lord Song before. However, it is very special and unforgettable."
"Hahaha, I often say that most officials are monsters with some of their personalities castrated, especially when facing superiors. At least, Song Li is not such a person. He expressed his thoughts very realistically, so he is different from others." The Holy Emperor had another explanation for the words of Director Tu.
Song Lixin said that your personality has been castrated, and I am definitely a 100% man! These people are so funny that others dare not take their things, so they scold their incomplete personality. Song Li tried hard to stuff it into their pockets, and they praised Song Li for being special. Sometimes people are quite cheap? Song Li didn't expect that even people like the Holy Emperor were quite cheap.
I had known that I would have taken the largest ones, and one piece would have been enough to support the remaining dozens. But he understood that if he really did that, the Holy Emperor would have been unhappy again. There was a question of how much he had to grasp. The twenty stones that Song Li had taken were completely within the range that the Holy Emperor could bear. If he took too much, he would probably feel distressed.
"I'm just being a Holy Emperor uncle, this is praising me." Song Li honestly and unceremoniously accepted the praise of Lord Holy Emperor.
"Of course this is a praising you. If you want to continue to maintain this kind of trait in the future, when will you become like those hypocritical guys, then I should be unhappy." The Holy Emperor smiled.
"Everyone says it's difficult to be an official, but I think it's quite simple. Wouldn't it be enough to be yourself honest?" Song Li smiled.
"Not everyone has the qualifications to be their own." The Holy Emperor stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Talents who are truly capable can."
Although this sentence is a bit cruel, it is indeed the case. Song Li thinks what the Holy Emperor said is too terrible! Why do everyone want to become stronger? Because only when you are strong enough, so strong that no one can suppress you, can you do what you want to do as you wish and let everyone follow the rules you set. Otherwise, you can only live according to the rules created by others.
Song Li didn't want to become a monster with castrated personality. He wanted to be himself for the rest of his life.
Becoming stronger, becoming stronger, becoming the top of the pyramid of this continent is Song Li’s biggest goal in his life. Now, he is following such footprints, step by step, and steadily moving up.
"How do I have to take such a big pile of stones back?" Song Li touched his forehead and said pretending. Of course he could use the Tianwu Ring to put it back, but this thing cannot be exposed for the time being.
"You don't have to worry about this anymore. Let Director Tuan send a team of guards to transport it back to the Ming Palace." The Holy Emperor said with a smile.
"I am willing to serve Lord Song." Director Ku looked up to the face of spring breeze. Everyone could see that Song Li is currently a celebrity around the Holy Emperor, which is a good opportunity to get close.
"Then I will be the Director of the Labor and Cuban." Song Li bowed and thanked.
After everything was settled, Director Ku sent two teams of guards to take a car and send twenty black gold stones to the Ming Palace. The Holy Emperor led Song Li to his imperial study room, and he had other things to discuss with Song Li.
"Sit down, there is no need to be too polite in private." After the Holy Emperor sat down, he signaled Song Li to sit down at the bottom left.
"I don't plan to be polite to Uncle Saint." Song Li sat on the chair and kept saying that he felt comfortable.
The Holy Emperor was used to Song Li's familiar and unruly style in private. He smiled slightly and said, "Pan Shaofeng did a pretty job. What are your plans next?"
Song Li grinned and said, "Uncle Saint Emperor is wise and wise, and he must have been confident in strategizing. Do you still need to say anything about my nephew?"
The Holy Emperor pointed at him, shook his head helplessly, and smiled: "You guy is just a slippery person. I ask you to say it boldly, don't worry about that much."
Song Li thought to himself that if I said it too quickly, wouldn’t I steal your limelight? As a subordinate, you must always be humble to the boss, otherwise there will be no better life in the future.
"I just talk casually, and I don't know if it's right. Everything will be based on the decision of the Holy Emperor Uncle." Song Li said: "With Pan Shaofeng's performance in the Political Affairs Hall, Prince Zhong and the others probably can't sit still. They will definitely worry that Pan Shaofeng will leak the secrets, so I guess they will find a way to get rid of Pan Shaofeng next! Therefore, Pan Shaofeng has now become a large bait. As for how to use this bait to catch big fish, Uncle Holy Emperor must know better than me."
The Holy Emperor twisted his beard and smiled. What Song Li thought was basically the same as him. Although Pan Shaofeng committed the death penalty, he must not be killed now. Not only can he be killed, but he must also protect it. It can be foreseeable that the people of Prince Zhong’s mansion will spare no effort to send people to kill him. As long as Pan Shaofeng is alive, the killers of Prince Zhong’s mansion will continue to pounce on him, even if they know it is a moth to the fire, they will still pounce without hesitation!
Using Pan Shaofeng as bait, you will definitely catch many big fish in Prince Zhong’s mansion. This will not only gradually eliminate the vitality of Prince Zhong’s mansion like a millstone, but also gain more control. As long as one of the killers calls the envoy behind the scenes, they will have evidence to move Prince Zhong.
