    Unlimited scenery

    The next day, Jiang Wang issued his decree, and Qin Zhi sacrificed his life to rescue him. He had done great service and was granted temporary residence in the palace. He was also given a large mansion copied from the former prime minister as his residence.

    The house was located in a prosperous part of the city, but it had been in disrepair for a long time and was abandoned. Jiang Wangte ordered people to complete the repairs within three months.

    The decree also stated that a “golden platform” should be built near the emperor’s mausoleum, which would be completed within one month, and a ceremony for the conferment of generals would be held for Qin Zhi.

    As for the subordinates who were captured with Qin Zhi, they were all incorporated into the Forbidden Army.After the general ceremony, Qin Zhi was appointed deputy commander of the imperial army, and the soldiers were still under his control.

    As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.He is just a prisoner. Even if he saves His Majesty, pardoning his life is already a gift, so why treat him so favorably?

    Immediately afterwards there were rumors that the captives had stayed in His Majesty’s palace for a day and a night, and that suppressed moans could be heard from time to time.

    There is also a saying that when the king carried the captive back to the palace, his eyes were gentle, not like looking at his ministers, but like looking at his male favorite.

    There was also a lot of discussion among the people, and the storyteller in the teahouse almost slapped Qin Zhi on the forehead with the words “harming the country and charming the pet”.

    And Qin Zhi, who was “imprisoned” in the king’s palace, had no knowledge of this.

    Another half month passed after that day. Qin Zhi ate and slept every day. He quickly made up for the weight he lost in the prison car.

    The face is rounder, which weakens the rigidity and makes it more soft.The wound on my butt was treated with good medicine, and the scab formed and fell off. The scar was so light that only a few faint pink lines remained.

    But King Jiang never touched him again.

    Every night, Qin Zhi made a bed next to Long’s bed, and the two of them were very close. Qin Zhi even discovered that King Jiang had been impulsive, but for some reason, King Jiang always kept a distance from him.

    The feeling was not like the anticipation when testing on the way back to the North, nor was it like the throbbing feeling when the two of them were together for the first time.

    Alienation, only alienation.

    Qin Zhi’s understanding of love all comes from Gu Nei’s script.As the saying goes, if you don’t want something, you don’t love it.

    He thought that King Jiang was probably just new at first.Now that the novelty was over, if he wanted to have a good relationship with King Jiang, he had to take the initiative to coax him.

    Let’s prepare a big gift for King Jiang.He recalled the situation on the day of the assassination, wrote a letter, and then took out the pigeon whistle hanging around his neck.

    The sound pierced the sky, and not long after, a pigeon with shiny fur flew out from the palace, its destination was a faraway place that was difficult for outsiders to find.

    This gift takes a long time to prepare.Before sending him out, Qin Zhi still had to be brave enough to “strike up a conversation.”

    But during the month of the construction of the Golden Platform, no matter how Qin Zhi tried to find something to say, King Jiang always remained calm, neither scolding Qin Zhi for overstepping his bounds, nor giving him a close response.

    After many times, Qin Zhi finally decided to let nature take its course.He really doesn’t know how to get along with each other, let alone want to get close to the king of the same country.

    He had been living in the king’s palace, and no one dared to gossip too much. Therefore, until the day of the general ceremony, he had no idea how much trouble he had caused in Zhengyang City.

    On that day, King Jiang returned to Tai’an Palace to rest after approving the memorial.Everyone in the palace was guarding the door, and the palace was very quiet, as if no one was living there.King Jiang was shocked and thought Qin Zhi had run away.

    When he walked into the inner hall, he saw Qin Zhi leaning on the bedside, reading a book intently.

    The prisoner had his hair loose, with half of his long hair hanging down on his chest and half of it being pressed behind his head.The ends of my hair seemed to be dripping with water, so I thought they had just been washed.

    “You didn’t dry your hair even after washing it. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” Jiang Wang walked over, took a handkerchief and threw it at Qin Zhi, jokingly saying: “If I get over the illness and die alone, I’m afraid ten heads won’t be enough to cut off.”

    Qin Zhi was fascinated by what he saw. When Jiang Wang spoke, he was startled. Before he could recover, he sat up and said subconsciously, “Your Majesty, why don’t you let someone pass the news? Please go to the door to greet him.”

    Jiang Wang glanced at the prisoner who was still “sitting upright” and sneered, “I have already arrived next to you, but I haven’t seen you salute. If I had to pass the news before you came over, would you be able to greet me with courtesy?”

    Qin Zhi looked at the book in his hand and the veil “gifted” by the king. After realizing it, he slid off the dragon bed and knelt down, kowtowing politely, “May your Majesty be safe.”

    “Okay, let’s get up.” Jiang Wang looked unconcerned and said, “Wipe your hair.”

    “Yes.” Qin Zhi felt sweet in his heart, the Lord cares about him~

    He stood up, took the handkerchief and wiped the water with his head, but said no more.After thinking about letting nature take its course, he became much more reticent, which made Jiang Wang uncomfortable.

    “What’s wrong with you…” Jiang Wang wanted to ask the prisoner why he was no longer “noisy”, but his eyes suddenly glanced at the “Warring States Policy” that Qin Zhi had placed on the bed. His mind was racing, and he swallowed his words again.

    He shouldn’t be so interested in Qin Zhi.They always want a different path.

    “The general ceremony will be held tomorrow. Go to bed early to avoid becoming the ugliest general in Jiang Kingdom’s history.” Jiang Wang said.

    The cold-hearted Majesty showed concern for him again and again, and Qin Zhi’s heart, which had been lost for the past few days, felt like a stone had been thrown into it, causing ripples to ripple in circles.

    He raised his head and stared at King Jiang expectantly. His tiger teeth were as sharp as if they had been “ground” with sugar. “Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. I will not lose your face tomorrow!”

    “…” Jiang Wang was shaken by that smile.This prisoner is so easy to coax.

    At the same time, his guess about Qin Zhi’s identity was gradually concluded – the people of Xuanhui Valley can influence the overall situation of the world if they advance, and can frighten a force if they retreat, so they should not be so heartless…

    The next day, Jiang Wang rewarded Qin Zhi with a set of mysterious clothes. Since Qin Zhi was only eighteen years old and had not yet been crowned, he asked the palace servants to comb Qin Zhi’s hair high, tie a bun with a hairband at the back of his head, and secure it with a white jade hairpin. The rest of his hair was spread around his temples and behind his back.

    King Jiang also rewarded Qin Zhi for riding in the royal chariot to the Golden Platform. It can be said that thousands of favors are gathered into one body.

    The Golden Platform is a pavilion made of gold. The base and lacquer pillars are all shining with gold, showing the royal majesty and sky-reaching style.

    On the four sides of the eaves are inlaid four mythical beasts: green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu, symbolizing the generals awarded by the king for their ability to guard the borders of the four directions.

    All the civil and military officials had already been ordered to wait under the golden platform. They stood respectfully in four rows and waited for two or three hours.

    Standing at the front were General Yunyang Han Zhong and General Zhenxi Zuo Songqing.

    Han Zhong looked impatient, “Isn’t he just a prisoner of the Weiguo? He doesn’t need such a large battle. Your Majesty is also confused. There are so many good generals in the court who don’t use them, but he uses male favorites and others!”

    “General Yun Yang, be careful what you say.” Zuo Songqing glanced at Han Zhong, not wanting to be classified as the new general’s “enemy” just because he was talked to.

    He still had some idea of ​​Prince Jiang’s temperament and could interest their indifferent majesty. The whole story might not be that simple.

    The sun was high in the sky, the king’s chariot arrived belatedly, and all the ministers knelt down and shouted long live.

    “Your Majesty, we’re here.” The internal officer Li Ci bowed his body and opened the curtain, and stepped out with a pair of bright yellow boots.

    When everyone thought they could finally hear a “peace” and stood up, they heard King Jiang turn around, reach into the carriage, and say softly: “Qin Aiqing, I will help you.”

    One word woke up the whole audience.The ministers got up before dawn and came here one after another to wait, and those mere prisoners!A male favorite!But he was able to ride with the king, and his majesty had to support him personally!!!

    In an instant, the courtiers present had different feelings in their hearts, their calculations were heard, and their eyes were exchanged countless times.

    Qin Zhi, who was forced to “hold hands” by the king, no matter how dull and unreasonable he was, still vaguely felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere when he got off the car, so he unconsciously tensed up his scalp and acted extremely cautiously.

    “Stand flat.” The king said, and everyone stood up and looked at Qin Zhi in the center, walking side by side with the king, slowly walking towards the golden stage.

    The beads on the king’s crown swayed gently, colliding with each other and making a sweet sound, which made Qin Zhi’s heart become more and more open.

    The temperature of the king’s palm was just right, making his slightly moist palm warmer, and his chaotic heart gradually became calmer after entering the ginger.

    In this way, he finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly and walked towards his own bright road.

    The eyes of the ministers were locked on Qin Zhi, like sharp arrows.But as he approached, his handsome face, which was accentuated by the black color all over his body, gradually became clear to the ministers, and everyone gasped in unison.

    The prisoner’s appearance was not one that would bring disaster to the country and the people, but standing next to their majesty, he seemed to be an unusual match.

    Their majesty is feminine and reserved, while this prisoner is masculine and warm. Their auras complement each other, they really look like a perfect couple!

    Soon, Qin Zhi stood on the golden platform, overlooking the ministers, and he could not help but feel heroic.

    This land will be where he completes the Grand Competition in the Valley.These people will be his help in the future.The king beside him will be his master in the future.And he will also be here to find his own way and change his destiny…

    “Kneel down—” Seeing that everything was ready, Li Cicheng shouted and started the ceremony of making a general.

    The ministers bowed down again, and Qin Zhi also lifted up his robe and knelt down in front of King Jiang.

    “Wei Guo Qin Zhi, a destined general, has joined our Jiang State. It is a great blessing for the whole country. Today, I worship him as General Yuen Long and grant him the position of deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. He will guard our imperial city and protect our territory. I hereby–”

    Li Ci handed the imperial edict back to King Jiang, who took it with his right hand and handed it to him.

    Qin Zhi lowered his head and took it with both hands, raised the imperial edict above his head, and bowed down again. His loud voice echoed in the sky on the high platform – “Your Majesty, Qin Zhi, accept the edict. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!”

    At this time, Qin Zhi was in high spirits, and all he could think about was King Jiang and Jiang Guo.

    He only knew that “a favor should be repaid with all one’s strength”, but he had never heard of “the king is ruthless” and “things must turn against each other when they are extreme”…
