Chapter 29
"Do you know what special day today is?"
Araki asked.
"What's special? I don't know, I didn't go out, and I didn't look at the calendar."
The World of Truth answered.
"Today is Face-to-Face Day. On this holiday, everyone can wear masks and have fun on the streets for a day, so I gave most people a day off, and many people went home.
I'm free today, and I want to play with you, but I also want to give you a gift."
Araki said to the World of Truth.
"What are you going to give me?"
The World of Truth asked.
"This is a token, I made it specially for you. You can mobilize my people with this thing. I told them that seeing this token is like seeing me.
If something really happens to me and I can't take care of you for a while, and you need someone to do something, you can use this token to find my people and let them do it for you."
Araki explained.
"Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad with this thing?"
The World of Truth asked, playing with the token.
"As long as I can hold it, it doesn't matter. Besides, I don't think you would have the mind to do that."
Araki replied.
"What if I use this thing to harm you?"
The World of Truth asked.
"I'm not afraid of that, because you will never do such a thing."
Araki said firmly.
"You really have confidence in me, but in return, I want to give you something."
The World of Truth said as he put the token in his pocket, searched for it, and took out a coin and handed it to Araki.
"This is for you.
I've seen some protagonists in stories who were saved because their friends gave them gifts and placed them in key positions.
Just in case, you should carry this thing with you, maybe it can save your life."
The World of Truth said.
"Okay, I'll remember to take it with me, and you should also remember to take the things I gave you.
Don't let anyone else know, and don't let anyone else keep them. Otherwise, if the person who gets the things has bad intentions, you're doomed, and I can't save you."
Araki took the things and instructed.
The True World nodded.
"It will be Qingtuan Festival soon. We will eat Qingtuan, climb mountains, look far into the distance, and pick mulberry and chrysanthemums during this festival.
I want to start preparing now and hold a palace party to invite princes, ministers, relatives and friends from inside and outside the palace to come to the party.
It can not only connect feelings, but also consolidate relationships, and also observe their situations to prevent someone from secretly plotting a rebellion or being absent-minded.
The more important and critical things are, the sooner they should be discovered so that they can be dealt with in time. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It is better to be careful and cautious in everything. What do you think?"
Araki asked.
"I know. Are you telling me this so that I can attend it when the time comes?"
asked the world of truth.
"I hope you will go because it will be very lively and you may meet some people who are willing to help you.
I don't mind you contacting others privately because I know you won't hurt me.
You have been in this place for a long time.
I hope you can go out and breathe some fresh air, so that your physical condition may be better than before, and I can rest assured.
I know you don't like to go out and walk far, so the gathering is arranged at the palace. "Inside the court, if you want to go, I will arrange for someone to pick you up, so you don't have to waste time and effort on the road.
If you don't want to continue after participating, you can come back at any time, no problem at all.
Even if my temper is much worse than before, I will not be angry with you because of this matter.
You don't know, some people have provoked me in person before, forget it.
I think my temper is much better than many kings. If there are still people who are not satisfied, then I have to invite him to hell."
Araki said.
"Shall I go there in a wheelchair? Isn't that not good?"
The world of truth hesitated.
"Then what do you want? If I can give it to you, I will let someone take care of it as soon as possible."
Araki asked.
"I want a pair of crutches, so that when I don't have a wheelchair, I can move independently without stumbling or needing someone to support me."
The world of truth said while sitting in the wheelchair and looking at him.
"Okay, I'll have someone make you a pair of crutches."
Araki nodded.
"What kind do you want? Do you want it sooner or later? I'll have someone prepare a lot of pairs for you, okay?
Different colors, different shapes, different appearances and decorations, how about that?"
Araki asked.
"As long as they are available, I'm not very picky.
I know you will give me very good things, so I'm not worried at all.
And now that I have a wheelchair, I'm not in a hurry to use it. You can ask them to slow down a bit, slow work makes fine work, and everyone will be relaxed.
Although I really need this kind of thing, but if there are too many, it will definitely cost a lot of money, right? Who will pay for that money?
If you pay, I don't think you will have much money. If the national treasury pays, it will inevitably mean that it will be a waste of money and labor."
The World of Truth hesitated.
"This matter is your matter, and it is also my matter. Since it is my matter, it is a private matter. For private matters, there is no need to use the national treasury, only my private treasury.
Don't worry, I have money.
Even if I don't have it, didn't the former king and queen die a while ago? They have money, and they are richer than me. After they die, I will undoubtedly be the only heir.
Since I am their only legitimate heir, then isn't it normal for me to get their property as my own property after they die?
The national treasury is the national treasury, and my own money is my own money, and I can still separate the two.
Even according to the law, it is natural for children to inherit their parents' property in name.
I can also choose to confiscate their money, but I don't want to do that, so this money is mine.
I have many things that require separate money, and I can't put all my money in the national treasury.
That would be self-destructive."
Araki said to the world of truth.
"Do you still need a minister who specializes in confiscation of your wealth?"
asked the world of truth.
"Yes, I do, but I haven't thought of a candidate yet. Many people are willing to do this. Are you willing too? "
Araki asked.
"Yes, I am willing, but the premise is that you don't mind me interfering in this matter."
The World of Truth replied.
"I don't mind you doing this, but it is dangerous, and you will inevitably be liquidated in the end. Are you sure?"
Araki asked again and again.
"I have to do something. If I don't have a position, even if I take what you give me, I will be seen as a silver-tongued person in the eyes of others.
I don't really want to be seen that way."
The World of Truth replied.
"Okay, I'll arrange a position for you. "
Araki agreed immediately.
The day of holding the banquet arrived.
After receiving the invitation, Zhenli World went to the banquet site with the help of servants.
Because he did not need to use crutches now, he was still sitting in a wheelchair, but his crutches were placed inside the wheelchair.
If he needed to use the crutches, he could just stand up, open the wheelchair, and take out the crutches.
The banquet was full of toasts, magnificent and dazzling, and a harmonious scene.
The people around drank wine, and their faces flushed subtly, as if they were slightly drunk. They began to look for the host of the banquet with their wine glasses, and then said some words of praise at the same time.
"The world is peaceful, and the people are blessed."
"My master is healthy and safe, and there is hope for a hundred years." "Now the weather is good and
the rain is favorable, which is really a good thing. "
Look at the good weather today. I think there will be a good harvest this year."
"If this year is a bumper year, then next year will be better. These are all blessings from God, proving that we have chosen a wise and powerful monarch."
"Everyone eat and drink well! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
People seemed to be having a good time, and there was no sign of quarrels or other things.
The World of Truth wanted to calm down but was a little nervous, so he said to the people around him, I want to go outside.
The servant pushed his wheelchair and took him outside.
There was a garden not far away, and he planned to stroll around the garden slowly by himself, and asked the servant to follow him from a distance and not to disturb him.
After the servant left, he took out his crutches. He
had not taken two steps when he suddenly heard someone at the banquet shouting.
"Come quickly, come quickly, someone is assassinating the king. "
The banquet hall suddenly became chaotic and noisy, and it was impossible to tell you and me from each other.
The World of Truth frowned, turned around, and asked the servant to push the wheelchair, and he went into the room on crutches. It was still a mess here, but at the center of the chaos was a maid.
The maid had a knife in her hand, and it seemed that this knife was used to stab the new king before. Many people pressed her to the ground. She gritted her teeth and struggled, but could not get up at all.
"The tyrant deserves to die. "
The maid screamed, and her neck suddenly twisted.
Before she finished her voice, blood was flowing from her mouth and nose, and she was already dead.
This was obviously a scene of attempted assassination and suicide out of fear of crime.
Everyone was stunned.
The maid's fighting skills were not very strong. Although she had a knife in her hand, she did not hurt Araki at all.
The world of truth thought Araki was fine.
But he was still very panicked.
So he walked over and asked, "Maybe you need to rest?"
Araki nodded.
"I have something to tell you, let's go together."
Araki said to the world of truth.
The world of truth nodded and helped him up.
Araki returned to his room, but his face was extremely pale and he spit out blood.
The world of truth wanted to find a doctor, and he held the world of truth.
"What do you want to say? Your condition is very dangerous."
"Doctor, don't worry, I have something to say.
Holding that thing is equivalent to owning my rights, and owning my rights is equivalent to owning everything I have. Once I lose consciousness, you will replace me and stabilize the situation.
Anyone who is presumptuous will be treated with disrespect. "
Before he finished speaking, he fell into a coma.
