Home/ I [Imperial] Am This Type of Man/ Chapter 4

Ji Jinrong left under the scorching gazes of the imperial physicians.

He wanted to win over the Changsun family to maintain a balance with the Zhennan King, but he couldn’t rush this matter.

Otherwise, it will be exposed. And as soon as it is exposed, the young seedlings of the Changsun family will be brutally pulled out.

He also had to think about those people.

Ji Jinrong returned to Zhengyang Palace with an anxious mood, and silently copied books, one to practice calligraphy, and the other to deepen his impression.

Since he may return to Dazhou in the end, how can he go back without bringing something back!

He should memorize a few articles to make the imperial preceptor happy, copy a few recipes for his uncle in the Ministry of Works, and more importantly, he must try different kinds of food here and memorize the recipes for his little nephew to try!

As Ji Jinrong thought about it, he was deeply moved by his own spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and decided to eat an extra bowl of rice at noon to show his appreciation!

While Ji Jinrong was shamelessly praising himself, the Zhennan King had already sent someone to arrest the person behind the scenes who incited the flames.

If Ji Jinrong saw the people under the command of the Zhennan King, he might recognize them immediately: this attire and skills belong to the black cavalry battalion under Wei Tingjun! These people were all wearing black military uniforms and black armor, only the sword in their hands was shining with cold silver light.

More importantly, the soldiers in the Black Cavalry Battalion are full of murderous aura, and all of them are comparable to the generals in other armies!

People from the Black Cavalry Battalion surrounded several mansions and quickly took away several officials and members of the royal family.

Even though the new emperor has ascended the throne, many people still didn’t not give up.

Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, the Zhennan King didn’t even blink and said flatly: “Kill them.” He wanted to let them know that not just anyone can covet that position.

“But,” the person who was reporting hesitated, “They don’t want to confess, and we also—” There is no evidence!

The Zhennan King glanced at the person for a second, then ordered another deputy general standing next to him: “You go.”

The deputy general responded calmly: “Yes, My lord!”

The Zhennan King was very satisfied. What confession! What evidence! It is just to let them know that whether they admit it or not, whether they have left any evidence or not, as long as they dare to move, he will dare to kill them.

The person who provided the report felt as if his neck was being pinched, so uncomfortable that he couldn’t even speak. He still wanted to persuade again: “My lord——”

The Zhennan King couldn’t see the thoughts of his subordinates, they were afraid that he would lose people’s hearts, and it would be difficult to win over courtiers and aristocratic families in the future.

Unfortunately, the Zhennan King has no interest in winning people’s hearts.

He ordered: “Go down, I will leave the matter of autumn hunting to you. There will be Tujue envoys present at that time, so don’t do anything to ruin my reputation in front of others.”

The person who reported had a serious look on his face and quickly responded. The autumn hunt is just around the corner, and it is really necessary to use heavy means to suppress those stupid things that are about to move, lest they take the opportunity to cause trouble and make the Turks(Tujue people) laugh.

However, the most important thing is not that they will see our joke, but that they will realize that the situation in Daqi is unstable, and take advantage of this opportunity to cross the border of Daqi to burn, kill and loot! These ungrateful barbarians can definitely do it.

The Zhennan King asked people to “write” the whole story, and send it to the Imperial College as a confession.

As Ji Jinrong said, Li Zhengyuan was innocent. Because Li Zhengyuan had a tendency to scold people face to face, he had disagreements with some students in imperial college, so he became a pawn of those people. From the simple and crude framing and the “favoritism” that was exposed upto the righteous gathering of the people to criticize and make troubles in the back, one after another, they were all trying to make some troubles, just so that they could fish in troubled waters.

Unfortunately, they met Ji Jinrong who had insight into everything, and just happened to come here.

So the conspiracy was discovered and those people lost their lives.

When the Zhennan King thought of Ji Jinrong’s bright eyes, his heart felt hot.

He destroyed so many worlds and bore so many sins just for this day.

For the day we meet again.

He never cared about the life and death of others, nor did he care about other people’s opinions, he only cared about that one person—— But heaven wanted to take him away.

In that case, he will become a person that even “heaven” would be afraid of.

He wants “heaven” to send him back obediently.

The Zhennan King went back to his mansion and took off his blood-stained armor. He changed into clean clothes, entered the palace again, and went straight to Zhengyang Palace where Ji Jinrong was.

He Tai was kneeling outside the study.

The Zhennan King smiled slightly. He passed He Tai and walked straight into the study. Looking up, Ji Jinrong was practicing calligraphy, his wrists were no longer so slender and weak, and his posture of holding the pen was extremely upright.

Ji Jinrong heard footsteps and looked up at the Zhennan King.

At the moment he heard He Tai kneeling outside the door, he knew that the entire palace had been controlled by this Zhennan King, and he could not use anyone who appeared around him, even if the other party was not in the capital.

This Zhennan King was not only arrogant, but also extremely confident.

He sent He Tai here, as if saying ‘I know you want to use this person, then use him, I will transfer him here for you to use, and see what waves you can make.’

Ji Jinrong knew that he made He Tai kneel here to vent his anger.

Even he was helpless, so how could He Tai possibly disobey the will of this King of Zhennan. Ji Jinrong put down his pen and called out, “He Tai.”

He Tai outside the door was startled, and hurriedly responded: “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Ji Jinrong said: “Go to the treasury and fetch the ink for me.”

He Tai was overjoyed and kowtowed heavily outside the door. He quickly ran to the treasury to fetch new ink for Ji Jinrong.

When the Zhennan King heard Ji Jinrong order He Tai to do things, he only felt a hundred scratches on his heart, wishing he could tear him(HT) apart and swallow him immediately.

However, he cannot scare Ji Jinrong. Unlike him, Ji Jinrong has just started this interesting journey—— he cannot rush or push Ji Jinrong too hard.

He knelt down on one knee and saluted Ji Jinrong: “I have seen Your Majesty.”

With the previously learned lesson, Ji Jinrong didn’t step forward to help him. Instead, he stood up and said, “It’s not necessary,” He said calmly, “It’s just you and me, so don’t be too polite.”

But the Zhennan King still grabbed Ji Jinrong’s hand, and thanked him generously: “Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. However, my salute is not for others to see.”

He held Ji Jinrong’s hand tightly and looked up, “I only do it for His Majesty to see.”

Ji Jinrong felt sweat dripping from his palms. His hands were tightly wrapped by the other party’s palms, and he felt a tingling sensation seeping from his palms to his head, making his whole body tense.

Now Ji Jinrong couldn’t even scold him recklessly, as he was afraid that this person would become even more presumptuous after scolding.

Ji Jinrong could only look at the other party and say, “Let go.”

The Zhennan King was even more joyful in his heart when he met Ji Jinrong’s eyes.

As expected of his Majesty, he is not so easily frightened.

The Zhennan King didn’t let go, but took advantage of the situation to hold Ji Jinrong’s wrists: “Your Majesty has been practicing calligraphy for too long, and your wrists must be very sore. I know all the acupuncture points in the body. I will knead and massage it for you to relieve the soreness.”

Ji Jinrong: “…”

The Zhennan King spoke earnestly, with “I am wholeheartedly thinking about His Majesty” written on his face.

Who are you kidding!

Ji Jinrong was so angry that his ears turned red, but he thought that the original owners would not scold others, and he did not have the temper to confront this person. So, he could only sit back in his seat under the other party’s gaze, and obediently stretched out his hand.

The King of Zhennan rubbed Ji Jinrong’s delicate skin with his calloused fingers, as if he had to touch every place on Ji Jinrong’s wrist to find the exact acupuncture point. It wasn’t until Ji Jinrong couldn’t bear it and wanted to withdraw his hand that the other party gently rubbed and pressed a few acupuncture points in a serious manner.

When the other party pressed on an unknown point, Ji Jinrong felt his wrists go limp, unable to move it at all.

The Zhennan King said: “It may hurt a bit. If Your Majesty can’t bear it, just say it.”

Ji Jinrong stared at the other party.

The Zhennan King slightly increased his strength.

Soon, Ji Jinrong’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, feeling very painful.

The Zhennan King pressed his finger on another spot: “Your Majesty, you don’t have to endure—”

Ji Jinrong realized that this would cause even more pain and couldn’t help but hold down the palm of the other party’s hand, trying to stop him.

Realizing that the palm covering the back of his hand was a bit damp, the Zhennan King smiled: “It’s just one step away, Your Majesty is a man, don’t be afraid of pain.”

Ji Jinrong let go of his hand doubtfully.

The Zhennan King gently rubbed and pressed a few times, making Ji Jinrong feel both sore and numb. As Ji Jinrong relaxed, the Zhennan King suddenly increased his strength.

Ji Jinrong cried out in pain: “It hurts!”

The Zhennan King wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of Ji Jinrong’s eyes and said: “It’s only useful if it hurts a little. Your Majesty can see if the hand is more flexible than before.”

Ji Jinrong doubtfully moved his right hand and found that it was indeed much more flexible than before, as if all the meridians inside had been opened up.

Although Ji Jinrong was annoyed with this person, he was not ignorant of good and bad. He said in a muffled voice, “Thank you.”

The King of Zhennan said: “Your Majesty, why should you thank me? I would do anything for Your Majesty.” 

He stared at Ji Jinrong, “If Your Majesty is willing, I can even help you open the meridians of your whole body—”

Ji Jinrong said vigilantly: “No need!”

Thinking of this person rubbing and pressing all over his body, Ji Jinrong felt goosebumps all over!

The Zhennan King said righteously, as if he had absolutely no ulterior motives: “It’s fine if Your Majesty doesn’t want to. Your majesty has already passed sixteen this year, and it’s a bit late for learning martial arts. If you want to practice horse riding and archery, or some martial arts, you must endure this hardship.”

Ji Jinrong: “…”

Thinking of the height gap, physique gap, and strength gap between himself and the other party, Ji Jinrong’s little heart was hit hard. He said sullenly: “Let’s talk about it some other time.” He would rather find someone else to try for it …

The Zhennan King narrowed his eyes.

He knows his Majesty. His majesty is by no means a person who would just sit by and wait to die, let alone this little hardship. His majesty will not blink an eye no matter how difficult it is. The reason why His Majesty didn’t agree was because he didn’t trust himself, or he noticed his overly revealing desire. With His Majesty’s style, he will never let go of the opportunity to enhance his strength——

The Zhennan King warned: “Your Majesty, this is my exclusive secret technique, and it is impossible for others to know it.”

He can tolerate Ji Jinrong having a few trusted eunuchs and close ministers, but that was all. He will never tolerate other people touching Ji Jinrong’s body—even if it is just a “borrowed” body.

Ji Jinrong: “…”

Did he say it out loud?

The author has something to say:

Your Majesty: I really want to pull this guy out and chop him up today…
