It seems that he doesn't take me seriously at all!

"The emperor has issued an order. A captain like you has overstepped your bounds a bit, hasn't he?"

Zhao Xin made a suggestion by the way, but he didn't expect that the other party would ignore him. In the end, it was Chu Zhan who said a few words and made a gesture.

"Everyone, I don't really understand these deviant ways, but since this elder brother and I have sworn brotherhood, we are of the same mind and strength."

This little sentence made him and Li Jian become grasshoppers on the same rope.

"If that's the case, then Captain Li is a great blessing."

Everyone left the banquet and left so abruptly.

Anyway, Captain Li had a very sour expression on his face from beginning to end, as if he had been insulted by that man.

"Brother Chu, how are you and Miss Qiu these days?"

"Everything is fine, don't worry about me. Thank you for caring about us."

Li Jian patted Chu Zhan's shoulder hard, and a trace of rebelliousness gradually grew in his heart.

It's true that this protagonist is incredibly well-connected, able to win over anyone. He truly deserves to be called an emperor.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

Zhao Xin was calmly practicing the fly-swatting technique he had taken out earlier in the room, which left the two civil servants stunned.

"Your Majesty, this is a good technique."

These ministers are really good at flattering, he thought.

He has been here for quite a few days, and Mr. Zhuge has been sending pigeons to cover him during this period. But the longer the time is, the worse it will be if there is no one in the palace who can take charge.

It is easy for those ministers to become rebellious.

They believed that the emperor was playful by nature and had no idea how to govern a country, and was not as reasonable as the empress dowager and the Cui family behind her.

That would be bad!

Little did they know that the court was now truly peaceful.

Cui Cen's unusual silence made the other ministers afraid to say anything, as if they had been completely assimilated. Zhuge Liang, to be honest, didn't do anything either, just repeating the same thing every time.

"The Emperor has been feeling unwell these past few days. If you, the ministers, could have relieved His Majesty of his worries, this wouldn't have happened!"

This statement was well-reasoned and made the ministers feel embarrassed to go see the emperor, for fear that they would be implicated in his anger.

That would be digging your own grave.

At this time, old man Nan Cang was sighing, looking at his granddaughter who was practicing archery at the other side of the gate. When he thought of the man who was above everyone else in the court, he felt extremely vicissitudes of life.

Could it be that my granddaughter has no choice but to marry Zhao Xin?

Nan Cang had previously sought out several good rulers for this daughter, but without exception, they were dismissed and prevented from getting close to her. Those good rulers also rejected each other without much discussion.

When asked why, he stammered and couldn't say anything.

He knew that this was definitely the little granddaughter's fault.

However, after the emperor sent people to ask several times, Nan Luoying, who had initially refused to agree, softened her stance after seeing the emperor's change of heart.

"Grandpa's little granddaughter, do you know that this palace is full of vicious women?"

Nan Luoying gestured with the bow and arrow, then took out an arrow and loaded it.

Slurp——

The sword shot straight at the face of the scarecrow at the door.

"Grandpa, your granddaughter has traveled extensively with the emperor for many years. Why are you worried now?"

She was so brave and adept at fighting on the battlefield with so many people around her. Her brother praised her all the time. Why is Grandpa so timid now?

Nan Cang also knew his granddaughter's temperament and character, and she would not easily change her mind once she made up her mind. However, he was currently plotting to overthrow the court, and if his granddaughter were in the harem, she would be a major obstacle to his plan.

I feel extremely regretful for no reason!

"Grandpa, don't worry anymore. Don't you understand your granddaughter's situation?"

That's true.

"Grandpa told you about the library in the palace before. It has everything there. Go check it out when you have time."

What Nan Luoying was thinking about at this moment was indeed not the emperor's appearance, but the towering palace in the emperor's palace with the three words "Book Collection Pavilion" on it.

Indeed, it has been a long time since I passed by there, but I haven’t been in to take a look.

It would be nice to find some time to go in and take a good look at it.

At this time, Zhao Xin was sitting in the Qinzheng Hall bored and reviewing memorials. The long speeches really gave people a splitting headache.

But... old thief Nan Cang?

He quickly cleared some of the memorials on the large sandalwood table to the side, leaving a large space, and then solemnly opened the memorial.

The first feeling is.

long.

It was very long. He didn't expect that the old thief Nan Cang would write so much for him.

The feeling at second glance is.

Very insightful.

This old scoundrel Nan Cang really summarized his experiences from beginning to end for nearly half his life and wrote him such a memorial. It really described the current situation in various places and the treacherous ministers.

Then he added a few words at the end, probably referring to his own granddaughter.

Is this a plan to put your mind at ease?

"Mr. Zhuge, what do you think?"

It’s not that Zhao Xin thinks too much, it’s mainly because this old thief Nan Cang doesn’t play by the rules, which always makes people feel helpless.

Otherwise, how could he have secured the military position in the imperial court on his own?

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I don't think Nan Cang has any good intentions."

Zhuge Liang smiled, shook the fan in his hand and shook his head, feeling that Zhao Xin was thinking too much.

"It was Liu Muzhi who proposed this marriage before. Now that he has agreed, what else is there to think about? How come he has only returned home once?"

"Even if Lord Nan throws his granddaughter into the harem, Your Majesty will still be at your mercy. You can still control Lord Nan tightly. Besides, since it's already like this, why panic?"

That's true...

"So, Your Majesty, what we should be more worried about now is the disaster this year."

Winter is almost here, but it's cloudy and rainy now. It's been cloudy for several days. We haven't had much harvest to begin with, and it will be even more difficult if we don't even have winter clothes in the future.

Anyway, we can’t continue to use the imperial court’s food for the winter.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Xin was also puzzled at this time. He really didn't need to worry about that matter now, so he privately sent two people to pick up Nan Luoying, and then drafted an edict for Xiao Chenzi, intending to send it over when someone arrived.

After he had completely sorted things out, he went to Su Qingyu's residence, Changle Palace. Changle Palace was quiet, and he hadn't told Xiao Chenzi to come over in advance.

So now Su Qingyu is sitting at the head of the bed, embroidering the purse with the light of a lamp.

It was the careful embroidery that caught his eye.
