After the court meeting, Prince Zi Chen taught his son a lesson and Lin Xiao made a new oath.
Prime Minister Shui Jing returned to his residence with a gloomy face.
The words of the Taiji Holy Court's messenger seemed to have provoked Shui Jing.
"Finally, someone brought it up?" When Shui Jing returned home, his face turned ugly.
"Husband, you're back?" A beautiful woman called out.
Liu Yanyan, Shui Jing's wife, was the Ninth Princess Consort of the Daluo Heaven Dynasty. Because of the marriage in his previous life, Shui Jing had been obsessed with her. Later, he asked Zhong Shan for help and got what he wanted with Zhong Shan's help.
"Yes!" Shui Jing nodded. His face was heavy.
Liu Yanyan helped Shui Jing sit down. Shui Jing frowned and pondered. Liu Yanyan also massaged his shoulders.
"Father, you're back?" Suddenly, a man in a white robe walked in.
The man was elegant and had the temperament of Shui Jing waving his feather fan.
"Mother is here too!" The man in the white robe immediately asked for advice.
"Jiang 'er, haven't you been looking for your father? He's back. You can talk!" Liu Yanyan said.
"Hmm?" Shui Jing was slightly surprised.
"Yes, mother!" Shui Jiang immediately smiled.
"Then should I go out and let you and your father talk?"
"No, you're my mother. Although what I want to talk to father is very important, it's not a problem for you to listen. Moreover, you can help me persuade father! Everyone knows that father loves mother the most! "Shui Jiang immediately said.
"You're so sweet!" Liu Yanyan immediately smiled.
"What's the matter?" Shui Jing looked at his son.
"It's about our family's way out!" Shui Jiang immediately set up a barrier so that only the three of them could hear.
"Our family's way out?" Shui Jing frowned.
"Father, you don't have to pretend that you don't know. From the time I was sensible, I knew that father was the smartest person in the world. I don't remember the Holy King. After all, I was still young when the sky was opened. However, I know that in today's court, the smartest person is father. Father must know everything I've done in the past few years, but you didn't point it out!" Shui Jiang said.
Shui Jing didn't refute. Instead, he looked coldly at Shui Jiang and said, "I can pretend that I didn't see what you did. Why, do you want to point it out today?"
"Yes!" Shui Jiang said firmly.
"Colluding with the emissaries of the enemy and plotting against the Daikon State, what crime do you want me to convict you of? Treason? "Shui Jing's eyes widened and a murderous aura shot out.
"Husband, Jiang 'er is still young!" Liu Yanyan immediately comforted him.
"Still young? If she was a mortal, she would already have a great-grandson by now. How could she still be considered young? Colluding with the various enemy dynasties is a serious crime! "Shui Jing said solemnly.
"Without Father's support, would I have done that?" Shui Jiang suddenly said in a fit of pique.
"I support him?"
"That's right. I think father must have known the first time he came into contact with the Outer Dynasty. But why didn't he stop him? Father is also thinking for our Shui Family and wants to leave a way out! "Shui Jiang was unconvinced.
"Sigh!" Shui Jing sighed softly.
"Father, an emissary of the Tai Chi Holy Court has already said that as long as you are willing, you will immediately become a lower rank two official in the Tai Chi Holy Court. I think that with father's ability, it won't be difficult for you to obtain a new Duke!" Shui Jiang said immediately.
"Bastard, I am a subject of the Daikon State. When the Daikon State is still around, how can I think of the enemy?" Shui Jing glared.
This was Shui Jing's bottom line. Shui Jing could tolerate Shui Jiang coming into contact with outsiders and leave a way out for the family, but he couldn't cross his bottom line. He had promised the Holy King!
"Father, you know better than anyone that the Holy King is already dead. If he was still alive in that situation, Zu Xian of the Greater Thousand World would be so ashamed that he would bang his head against the wall. The Holy King opened the sky for more than a hundred years. Can he surpass Zu Xian in just a hundred years? Can the Holy King create miracles? Are so many experts blind? "Shui Jiang said in a deep voice.
"The Holy King?" Shui Jing sighed softly.
Zhong Shan was dead. On the day that Shui Jing received the news, he announced in his heart that Zhong Shan was dead. According to Shui Jing's calculations, Zhong Shan had no chance of surviving. He had persisted until today. On one hand, it was because of the faint hope, but more importantly, it was because of the promise he made to Zhong Shan.
He was not a person who would go back on his word, nor would he do such a thing. The Daikon State's destruction was right in front of him. When the Daikon State was still around, Shui Jing continued to work hard and did his best. Four years later, when the Daikon State was destroyed, Shui Jing could only find another way out.
Therefore, Shui Jing turned a blind eye to Shui Jiang's search for a way out. He didn't expect that his son would speak out today. Obviously, his son was still 'inexperienced', but who asked him to be father and son?
"Now everyone is saying that Prince Zi Chen is going to change the dynasty. Father, don't you feel aggrieved? Prince Zi Chen has ruled the Daikon State for more than a hundred years. The number of trusted ministers under him has already reached more than half. As long as he is willing, he can change the dynasty at any time! We have been busy for half a day, but aren't we still doing things for him? Father, are you willing to be his minister? "Shui Jiang said solemnly.
"I think, with father's talent and pride, you will never acknowledge him as your master. Because he is not worthy. In the past, his talent and achievements were not as good as father's. He is also pedantic and stubborn, and does not know how to be flexible. Father will never submit to him!" Shui Jiang continued.
"He did not change the dynasty!" Shui Jing shook his head.
"Isn't it obvious? If he doesn't change the dynasty and gather luck again, the Daikon State will definitely be destroyed in four years. He will definitely use the so-called 'irresistible trend' to change the dynasty. Moreover, it has already spread outside. I heard it from his son, Shui Quan." Shui Jiang said.
"He is him, and his son is his son! I am sure that Shui Wuhen will never usurp the throne! "Shui Jing shook his head.
"But what if?"
"There is no 'what if'. It is impossible for Shui Wuhen!"
"Then can I make an assumption?" Shui Jiang said helplessly.
"En!" Shui Jing nodded, as a tacit agreement.
"There are no other possibilities now. There are only two results. One is that Shui Wuhen changes the dynasty, and the other is that Shui Wuhen perseveres to the end, and father will be a slave for four years!" Shui Jiang said.
"Jiang 'er, how can you talk to your father like that?" Liu Yanyan glared.
Shui Jing was not angry. Although the words between father and son were unpleasant, it was still better than the hypocrites outside.
"Then what do you think?" Shui Jing asked in a deep voice.
"I think father has three options!"
"Oh?"
"First, join the Taiji Sacred Hall. Second, with father's power, you can leave this place and start a new one. Third, with father's power, he'll definitely be able to take down Big Liao before Shui Wuhen. He won't be able to defeat you. Father, change the dynasty! "Shui Jing said excitedly.
"Bastard!" Shui Jing's eyes widened.
Supporting the Daikon State was Shui Jing's bottom line. His son actually wanted him to change the dynasty? No wonder Shui Jing was not angry.
"Husband, calm down!" Liu Yanyan immediately said.
"Mother, please persuade father. What did I say wrong?" Shui Jiang cried out, feeling wronged.
Liu Yanyan shook her head and said, "This family belongs to your father. I will listen to your father!"
Shui Jiang was depressed.
"Father, the Holy King is already dead. You have done your duty for the Daikon State for five years. It is enough!" Shui Jiang said anxiously.
"Who said the Holy King is dead? You believe the words of those mediocre people? "Shui Jing angrily rebuked.
"Father, I know you know!"
"The Holy King still has a chance to live. Although it is very small, it is still possible!" Shui Jing shook his head.
"What is the chance? Father, don't you think that the chance is ridiculous? What is the difference between it and zero? "Shui Jiang cried out.
Shaking his head, Shui Jing said, "As long as Shui Wuhen does not usurp the throne, as long as the Daikon State still exists, I will be the Prime Minister of the Daikon State. Usurp the throne? Don't even think about it! "
Seeing that he could not persuade his father, Shui Jiang frowned and thought about it. Persuasion would not work.
"Father, all these years, don't you feel wronged? In the pocket dimension, Shui Wuhen is not as good as you. His achievements are not as good as yours. He is not as good as you. He is even worse than General Lin Xiao. Why did the Holy King give him the title of King? Why did you not lead the Daikon State? What did Shui Wuhen do to deserve it? "Shui Jiang said.
Hearing Shui Jiang's words, Shui Jing frowned slightly. Indeed, it has been more than a hundred years. Although Shui Jing did not say it out loud, he did feel some injustice in his heart. Why was it Shui Wuhen?
But the injustice in his heart had never affected his work. Public was public, private was private. Shui Jing could clearly distinguish between them.
"He is so stubborn and pedantic. He is far worse than you, Father. Even if he did not change the dynasty, he would lead the Daikon State to its destruction. Father, am I right? Such a person is not worthy of your obedience …! "Shui Jiang said.
He is so stubborn and pedantic. Hearing Shui Jiang's words, Shui Jing's pupils suddenly shrank.
In an instant, Shui Jing seemed to have understood something. Shui Jiang was slightly stunned.
"Shui Jing, you are the most knowledgeable person in the Daikon State. With you as the head of the civil officials, I am relieved!" Zhong Shan said.
"Thank you, Holy King!"
"I believe in you! In the days before I leave, I leave you three words. I hope you will remember them in your heart, especially when there is a great change. "Zhong Shan said.
"I will remember them in my heart. Holy King, please speak clearly! "Shui Jing said.
"The three words are 'why'." Zhong Shan said meaningfully.
Why! Why? Just these three words? Shui Jing did not understand and looked up at Zhong Shan.
"I know you don't understand it now, but remember these three words. When you really need to use them, you will be able to understand it!" Zhong Shan said.
These were the words Zhong Shan said before he left. Shui Jing was an extremely intelligent person. In fact, not long after Zhong Shan left, Shui Jing understood what 'why' meant.
Why, 'why Shui Wuhen', and not him! He was more virtuous and talented than Shui Wuhen, so why did the Holy King trust him so much? Shui Jing had already guessed what Zhong Shan was referring to, but he could not understand why.
Was the Holy King suspicious of him? No! The Holy King trusted him a lot. Shui Jing was sure of this.
Was Shui Wuhen more loyal? That was not right! At that time, his loyalty was not inferior to Shui Wuhen's.
Had he followed the Holy King for a long time? No! Lin Xiao had followed the Holy King for a longer time!
Then why?
"I believe in you! In the days before I left, I left you these three words. I hope you will remember them in your heart, especially when there is a great change. "
Especially when there is a great change. Was the Holy King referring to now?
Before the great change, even if Shui Jing knew what the Holy King was referring to, he did not understand. Only when the great change happened did he truly understand.
He also finally understood Shui Wuhen's strength. In the pocket dimension, he knew that Shui Wuhen had a strength that even the ten army commanders did not have. And all this time, no one knew, not even Shui Wuhen herself. Only Zhong Shan could see it. So it was because of this?
She could keep her composure! She was loyal to Zhong Shan and was able to keep her composure!
All these years, although he had been busy with the affairs of the Daikon State, he had long believed that the Holy King was dead in his heart. But Shui Wuhen had been stubbornly keeping her composure. This was not only self-restraint, but also a kind of nature.
He could not keep his composure about the Holy King's death and allowed his son to find another way out. But Shui Wuhen had always maintained her composure and never slacked off!
"Why? The Holy King! I finally understand! "Shui Jing said with a bitter smile.
"Husband?" Liu Yanyan asked curiously.
"Shui Wuhen, I am not as good as you!" Shui Jing let out a long sigh. However, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Father? What's wrong? "Shui Jiang asked in surprise.
"Jiang 'er!" Shui Jing suddenly looked at Shui Jiang.
"Hmm?"
"Kill the enemy envoys in your residence at the Southern Gate tomorrow!" Shui Jing said with a glare.
"What? Father, kill them? This, this will offend the Tai Chi Holy Court …! "Shui Jiang said in surprise.
"I want you to kill them. You and I have both made a mistake once, so we can't make the same mistake again. Kill them at the Southern Gate tomorrow to show your sincerity!" Shui Jing said solemnly.
"Show my sincerity? But, but …! "
"No buts. From tomorrow onwards, you will also stay at home and never come into contact with the enemy. If you come into contact with them, I will break your legs!" Shui Jing said solemnly.
Shui Jiang did not expect his father to change so quickly. How could he change so quickly?
"Father, what's wrong with father? Tell me, what did I do wrong? "Shui Jiang did not give up.
"The Holy King will be fine. Before the Holy King left, he had already calculated that this day would come. Everything was within the Holy King's calculations. Hahahaha, I, Shui Jing, thought that I was a genius in divination. Divination? Some things cannot be expressed by divination! "Shui Jing said with a bitter smile.
"Father?" Seeing his father talking to himself, Shui Jiang showed a trace of worry.
"Prince Zichen? Prince Zichen is worthy of the title. The Holy King, Shui Jing has learned something! "Shui Jing bowed slightly in the direction of the palace.
Shui Jing then looked at Liu Yanyan and said, "It seems that I am not omnipotent!"
"In my heart, you are!" Liu Yanyan shook her head and comforted him.
Shui Jing shook his head, "I am not. The omnipotent one is the Holy King! Just a little bit more and I would've gone astray. When the Holy King comes back, our family will go and apologize to the Holy King together! "
"Okay!" Liu Yanyan nodded gently.
Shui Jiang, on the other hand, was still confused. He could not figure out what was going on. What, what is going on? Why did father suddenly change?
