I was secretly happy, I didn't expect my wish to be fulfilled so easily.
In my heart, I was just waiting for Ji Gai to say the words to make me the king of Huo Kingdom.
But when Ji Mu reached her mouth, she paused again and shook her head: "No, Ji Mu is your father.
How could I give such a throne to his son?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ruji's beautiful eyes.
It seemed that her position was actually on my side.
A mysterious smile appeared on Ji Gai's face: "But if you can double my annual tribute after becoming the king, maybe I can consider it."
Damn it, this bastard is so petty.
He looks like an emperor from the Zhou Dynasty.
He is clearly a bargaining peddler.
I nodded without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I promise."
I gave him the pair of white walls that Duan Muni had prepared for me in advance.
Zhou Tianzi Ji Gai opened the wooden box and saw the pair of white jade.
Her eyes couldn't help but light up.
The smile on her face became thicker.
Her small eyes narrowed to a slit and she praised repeatedly: "Good, good!
You are indeed a sensible person."
But even though I agree, someone needs to come forward to recommend you at this time. " I was slightly startled.
I didn't expect this matter to be so troublesome.
This Emperor Zhou didn't want to take any responsibility at all.
Emperor Zhou Ji Gai paused and then said: "If someone from the princes is willing to propose that you be the king of the Huo Kingdom, and you can gain the support of the subjects in the Huo Kingdom, I can naturally order you to be the monarch. , so that the people of the world can be convinced.”
I cursed in my heart, I'm sorry I came here tonight in vain.
This Ji Gai doesn't want to contribute but wants to gain benefits.
He is simply a shameless villain.
He will not take any responsibility or risk for me.
No wonder Zhou Shi will become In today's chaotic situation, there is no trace of the majesty of the emperor in Ji Gai.
Thinking about it, it is no wonder that he ascended the throne by chance and was a son-emperor raised by the Jin Kingdom.
If I had known this, I would never have come to Luoyi.
Ji Gai smacked his lips and said, "You should think about this matter carefully and I will definitely help you."
Ru Ji made insinuating remarks: "But with Ji Gui's current status, how can he win the trust of the princes?"
Ji Gai thought for a while and said, "That's right, it's better to do this.
I see that I like your child quite a lot.
You can be my godson.
This will make it much easier for you to become the king of Huo Kingdom in the future."
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.
I hurriedly knelt down to express my gratitude: "My son, I bow to my father and my queen."
I wanted to call Ruji my mother concubine, but when I said the words, I thought she might sound like a hen, so I hurriedly changed my mind.
Come here, actually I am very interested in Zhou Tianziji I have also learned about him.
He especially likes to have godsons.
As far as I know, he has no fewer than twenty godsons in Luoyi.
If you look at other countries, he has even more godsons.
I'm afraid he I can’t even remember how many godsons I have.
Ji Gai chuckled and said, "Good son, yes, I'll give you some wine."
The waiter on the side brought me a gold bottle full of wine, and I drank it all in one gulp.
It seemed that this godfather was really stingy and had no intention of giving me other gifts.

He stretched his waist and said, "I'm a little tired."
I was about to get up and say goodbye when another chamberlain came in from outside the palace and respectfully reported to Ji Gaitong: "Your Majesty, the envoys from Qin and Jin are outside and they want to see your Majesty."
Hearing the news, Ji Gai stood up in a hurry: "Please invite them in quickly, please invite them in quickly."
I secretly disdain that Ji Gai acted so frightened when he heard the envoys from Qin and Jin came over.
He was clearly afraid of the power of the two countries.
He didn't look like an emperor at all.
Calling him a clown was just as bad.
Ruji's pretty face also showed great disappointment.
Her eyes met mine and she hurriedly ran away, for fear that I would see what she was thinking.
I took the opportunity to leave, but unexpectedly Ruji also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am tired."
Ji Gai showed great care for her and said softly: "If you are tired, go back and rest."
His eyes fell on me again: "Gui'er, you should go too.
It's better not to meet them now."
He pointed to the right and said, "Get out of here."
Ruji turned her eyes towards me and said coldly: "Come with me."
After I knelt down to Ji Gui and said goodbye, I followed Ru Ji out of the side door of Yuehua Palace.
Ru Ji slowed down and walked side by side with me, and said softly: "Ji Gui, Your Majesty can only help you to this extent.
You have to take care of yourself."
"Thank you, ma'am" An imperceptible smile flashed across Ru Ji's pretty face: "Ji Gao will send you away.
It's best not to make it public about His Majesty's acceptance of you as his adopted son, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"My son knows" Chamberlain I sent him out of the palace.
The palace was huge and the roads were complicated.
In addition, it would be difficult to get out smoothly without someone to guide him.
Ji Gao was thirty-six years old, and his temples were already gray, but the years had not left any mark on his face.
There are too many traces of vicissitudes of life.
Her skin is well maintained, delicate and white, and her face is always full of a faint smile, but the smile is extremely moderate, making people feel approachable but also creating a certain sense of distance.
When I was talking to Emperor Zhou in Yuehua Palace tonight, Ji Gao was always present.
Just as he was about to accompany me to the palace gate, Ji Gao suddenly broke the silence and said: "Young Master said something very right tonight.
If Huo Huo The country was divided equally between Qin, Jin and Yan, which would not be of any benefit to the Zhou Dynasty.
Instead of being grateful to the emperor, they would become even more arrogant and domineering. " I smiled and said, "It's a pity that this matter is not that simple.
With my personal ability, I may not be able to prevent Huo Guo's fate."
Ji Gao whispered: "Young master, if you want to fulfill your wish, you need to find strong support."
I could hear the implication between his words.
As the chief chamberlain of the palace, Ji Gao was used to big scenes and knew the distribution of power in the palace better than anyone else.
He was clearly giving me instructions.
I said respectfully: "Ji Gui is ignorant, and I hope Manager Ji can give me some advice."
Ji Gao's eyes showed admiration: "I have seen many Wangsunzhi with the surname Ji, and there is no other person who is as enlightened as the young master."
He looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered : "Have you ever been to Sikou Bo Liao's place?
I have a close personal relationship with him.
He has a clear understanding of the general trend of the world.
He may be able to answer your questions."
"Thank you, Manager Ji, for your advice."
Ji Gao smiled and said: "No need to thank me, I just don't want to watch Huo Guo being eaten up by a few ambitious guys."
When I arrived outside the palace gate, Duanmuni was still waiting for me.
Seeing my return safely, he came up to me happily and whispered, "Brother Lu, did things go smoothly?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head.
After getting into the carriage with him, I whispered: "The Emperor gave me a name and adopted me as his adopted son."
Duanmuzhi smiled and said: "This should be a great thing.
Although the emperor has more adopted sons, it is still an enviable honor to enjoy this favor."
"I'm afraid he will forget my name tomorrow."
I said cheerfully.
Duanmuni couldn't help but laugh and persuaded me: "Why are you thinking so much?
God knows what will happen tomorrow."
He did not ask me what I was doing in the palace.
"Brother Duanmu, do you know Yi Si Kou Bo Liao?"
Duanmu Ni was slightly startled: "Of course I know about Bo Liao.
He was once a popular figure in front of Emperor Zhou, but later he offended the Emperor for some unknown reason.
I haven't seen him come out to do anything in the past two years.
He seems to be sick and recuperating at home.
He should be taking advantage of this opportunity."
Take some time off."
I nodded slowly and said, "An old friend of mine asked me to send him a letter.
I want to send it to him tomorrow."
I didn't mention Ji Gao.
Duanmu Ni smiled and said, "Sikou Bo Liao's residence is not far from mine.
I will send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow morning."
I quickly declined and said, "It's already too much trouble for Brother Duanmu.
I can just go there by myself tomorrow."
"Nothing matters about trivial matters.
Brother Lu and I don't need to be polite."
The next morning, I went to Bo Liao's mansion to visit this Sikou of the Zhou Dynasty.
I heard that he was a high-ranking official in charge of the law, order and calendar.
According to Duan Muni's introduction, this person was not successful now, but since Ji Gao asked me to go and visit him , naturally has his reason.
Just as Duanmu Ni said, Bo Liao's mansion is not far from Duanmu's residence.
It took less than five minutes to drive there.
When he arrived in front of Bo Liao's mansion, he saw that the walls of the mansion were made of ordinary blue bricks and were covered with moss. , because few people passed by, a lot of green moss grew on the path in front of the door.
Two unknown ancient trees were planted in front of the door, and a little greenery sprouted from the bare branches.
The red lacquer door was peeling off in some places.
I knocked on the door knocker gently.
After a long time, I saw an old man coming to open the door.
He looked at me and said, "You are" "Ji Gui, Manager Ji Gaoji asked me to come over and pay a visit to Lord Sikou."
The old man whispered: "Wait a minute."
He closed the door and announced inside.
I stood outside the door and waited for more than ten minutes before the door was opened again and the old man invited me into the courtyard.
"Lord Sikou is waiting for you in the flower hall.
Come with me."
He led me towards the flower hall with unsteady steps
