"sit."

The majestic voice of Emperor Qi came from above.

Tian Ji raised his head and saw the purple-robed emperor standing in front of a huge map on the attic on the second floor of the study.

The east and west directions of the map correspond completely to the actual directions, from north to south to south.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, Emperor Qi faces the map and faces the north.

However, what Tian Ji is most concerned about is the breath realm of Emperor Qi.

Last time he entered the palace, he only had rank 2 and could not see through the other party's height and depth.

Now that he has reached the fourth rank himself, he has also seen some saints, and his horizons have long been improved.

The emperor of Da Qi in front of him was a sub-sage saint who was passed by, the fifth rank of the sect.

Of course, for Emperor Qi, Xiao Zongbo is just a rank and not an official position.

After Tian Ji'an sat down, Emperor Qi started to speak again: "I heard that you had a discussion with Chen Wan in Zong Bo's mansion. What do you think he is?"

Do you have to ask such a sharp question as soon as you start?

Tian Ji complained in his heart and replied respectfully: "Young Master Wan was a great talent at that time, known as the 'Wang Zuo', and was well-known!"

Emperor Qi was naturally dissatisfied with such a perfunctory answer and immediately asked: "How about Bi Zhiqing?"

"Young master Wan is a hundred times better than Tian Ji!" Tian Ji's answer was unambiguous.

"Since he has defeated you a hundred times, why did he lose to you repeatedly?"

"This... is lucky."

"Do you want to deceive the king?"

Hearing the tone of Emperor Qi, Tian Ji didn't dare to say that, and then explained carefully: "Maybe, I have made rapid progress, so I have surpassed Gongziwan a little recently?"

"But with the talent of the young master, I will sooner or later surpass me!"

When Emperor Qi heard this, he responded with a "ha", and Tian Ji couldn't hear that the other party was satisfied or not.

A moment later, Emperor Qi asked again: "How about you compare to the prince?"

Tian Ji was speechless for a moment.

How can this question from Emperor Qi be more difficult to answer than the other?

Could it be that this way of asking questions that force the ministers into the corner is the art of governing the emperor he advocates?

But he was speechless and silent, Emperor Qi always had to answer questions.

"Your Highness is the crown prince, and the minister is the minister. It is not appropriate to compare the king and the minister, nor can it be compared." Tian Ji replied seriously, "If you really have to, your Highness can only compete with Your Majesty."

"Of course, at present, Your Highness is definitely not as good as Your Majesty!"

When Emperor Qi heard this slippery explanation, he immediately laughed: "What you mean is that if you are a minister, you are stronger than Chen Wan, and if you are a king, am I stronger than the prince?"

Tian Ji nodded and said yes.

Emperor Qi then said, "When Chen Wan is the young tutor of the crown prince, you must also be my young tutor. How can I be the lord of the world?"

If Emperor Qi hadn't said this in a joking tone, Tian Ji would have almost wanted to hide in the soul space.

After waiting for a moment, Tian Ji calmed down and continued, "Of course I don't have such skills. But there is one thing, I have some experience."

"Say it."

At this time, Tian Ji had already sorted out his thoughts, and immediately stood up and said loudly: "I believe Your Majesty has heard that I have had an unpleasant experience in the Highland before going north to Linhaidu Mansion."

Tian Ji paused, and saw that Emperor Qi did not respond, so he continued: "Gaolu and Pingyuan are neighbors and brothers' capitals. They can be said to have lost their lips and teeth. They should have watched over each other and helped each other."

"The former Hei Shui Army crossed the north of Mohe River. Prince Huaixin of Pingyuan and Long Wei went south to help without saying a word, because they understood this truth."

"It's a pity that when it was Pingyuandu's turn to die, Gao Lu Hou not only did not repay his kindness, but instead developed a wolf ambition, intending to use the Zilong Guard as a threat to force Prince Huaixin to be a puppet and help him annex the land of Pingyuandu."

"Master Gao Lu plotted against Zilong Guard and the Prince, not only did he betray the villain, but he also regarded His Majesty's secret as nothing!"

Speaking of this, Tian Ji paused again, waiting for Emperor Qi to react.

His words were equivalent to suing Gao Lu Hou in front of Emperor Qi.

But it not only represents him personally, but also has many families in Pingyuan Capital and thousands of Pingyuan people who are looking forward to the king.

Unfortunately, Emperor Qi still faced the north and had no words.

Tian Ji sighed in his heart.

This time when I entered the palace to file a lawsuit against the emperor, it was mostly the entrustment between the old master and Le Ren to show the embarrassment of Pingyuan Capital to Emperor Qi.

He is entrusted by others and always has to do his best to do his job first.

But now it seems that as the Youxiang et al. said, Emperor Qi had no mind to know the things in the south, and no matter how much he complained, it would be useless.

So Tian Ji decided not to spend his energy on this, and his tone suddenly changed and he said, "Fortunately, I finally got the help of Tianmi 148, and finally got out of the predicament and came to His Majesty."

"Oh? Could you be talking about the sword of the princes, one of the 'Three Swords'?"

Seeing that Emperor Qi finally reacted, Tian Ji quickly said yes, and then said in an admiration: "When talking about the swords of the princes, as long as you gather five reliable people as a basis, even mediocre people like me can shock the four realms and command the arrogant Black Water Legalists to easily suppress the arrogant Black Water Legalists."

"If the Emperor Shengming takes over the more powerful Emperor's Sword, I believe that the princes will be corrected, the country will be wiped out, and the world will be returned to its heart, just around the corner!"

Tian Ji's tone was so excited, as if he was extremely yearning for the scene of the Emperor Qi and the world.

But the next moment, he spoke a little regretful tone: "I have heard that this sword of the emperor needs to be made of mountains and rivers as sharp blades, princes and countries as the backs, and also attached with yin and yang, four seasons, government orders, moral education and other materials before it can be successfully cast."

"No matter what matters are, the five great Qi people have lost two of them, the four realms are uneasy, and the mountains and rivers are incomplete. I am afraid that the sword of the emperor will be nowhere to be achieved..."

Before Tian Ji finished speaking, Emperor Qi was the first to interrupt: "Haha, this technique of using the advantage of being a good word is not like what you did in the past. I guess someone would give it a point before entering the palace?"

"Let me guess, is it the right prime minister? Or the grand tutor? Well, most of them have both."

After being told by Emperor Qi, Tian Ji was not embarrassed, so he simply admitted frankly: "Ethics and profit are not necessarily contradictory. If you can gain profit at the same time when you take righteousness, why not do it?"

"It's like me, saving everyone in Pingyuandu is for morality. But at the same time, I also got Zhibeilou and the sword of the princes. It can be said that it is a great city for profit. These two happened at the same time, and they did not contradict each other, and there was no criticism from everyone, but they were quite supportive. Why is this?"

Tian Ji bowed a long time and said solemnly: "It is precisely because the benefits obtained by the ministers are in line with the interests of the people, so it is in line with the morality of the people!"

"Hahaha..." Emperor Qi smiled at the sky, showing a clear sense of joy in front of Tian Ji for the first time, "Your words are very suitable for my taste."

"I really don't think about entering the Eastern Palace anymore and teaching the prince for me?"

Tian Ji once again politely declined.

Emperor Qi did not persuade him much, but instead talked about the main topic of the summons: "The Tian family of Pingyuan and the Tian family of Linhai are in harmony with each other, so they naturally have to save them. But the situation in Beiming is not optimistic at the moment. Once the army goes south, the Shandi takes the opportunity to attack. What if the emperor loses it?"

As expected, just as the right prime minister said, the benefit of Emperor Qi was the first priority in the north.

Tian Ji knew it in his heart and raised his gaze slightly.

This time, Emperor Qi finally turned around and looked down at him with his face.
