Chapter 47 Psychological Counseling

Nie Yao didn't make any preparations.

Foreign envoys had to live in shabby houses and eat big steamed buns. Apart from that, he would not provide anything else.

How dare he bring up such a shabby arrangement?

Nie Yao originally didn't want to say it.

He is a man of action.

It didn't matter what others thought or saw, but wasn't it true that no one dared to speak today? He had no choice but to throw out some random topics to get the others to speak up.

We can't just let those bad things pile up and let them rot.

If we really wait until the truth is revealed before taking action, it will be a headache.

"Your Majesty, I only need three thousand taels of silver to complete this task!"

Haha, considering he lives in a shabby house and eats steamed buns, three thousand taels is indeed enough. Think about the past when entertaining envoys, which time didn't he spend millions of silver?

Those foreign envoys are not picky at all.

He will fly into a rage at the slightest dissatisfaction.

Especially those from the source country, who relied on their stronger national strength to look down on them every time they came, arrogantly asking for this and that, and then called them stingy.

It’s so infuriating!

"Not bad." Even though the proposal Nie Yao submitted was not even as good as that one, Du Suilan still praised it. "Lord Nie has devoted himself to the Great Yu and is truly a loyal minister."

"Come here, give Nie Qing ten thousand taels of gold!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

All the court officials were shocked.

Even the military officer who was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the words "reward of gold", then his face was filled with surprise and he was so happy that he showed his shiny white teeth.

Great! His family is rich now!

After the court session, I will definitely invite them to have a meal at Zhenxiulou, right?

Ahahahahaha!!!

Nie Yao caught everyone's gaze and understood their intentions without even thinking. Although it was a little painful, he still agreed to their request.

But you can't eat for free.

Since these people are free anyway, they might as well clean up all the things on the ground.

Clean it up.

Don't dirty people's eyes.

——Yes, sir!

After receiving the secret order, the military officers who had work to do were no longer sleepy. They rolled up their sleeves and tucked their official robes into their waists.

They smiled and gestured, and without any words they tacitly cleaned up the court.

Perhaps because they were too relaxed, the frightened civil servants also gradually relaxed and soon got back to work, reporting all the matters that had been piled up for several days.

afternoon.

The court meeting finally ended.

Nie Yao took out his purse, counted out three thousand taels of silver notes, and called over a military officer who was more reliable in his work, and asked him to take his brothers to eat something good.

"So much?" The military officer who received the banknote was shocked. "Sir, did you count correctly? This is three thousand taels!"

Isn’t it three thousand taels?

Nie Yao was forced to give so much money by his wife that he felt like he was about to become rich.

He patted the officer's shoulder and said, "Alright, go eat. I have no choice. My husband at home insisted on giving me a lot of money and asking me to spend it all... I'm busy today, so I have to let you go this time."

So that’s it!

The military officer, who had only two coins of silver as pocket money every month, was instantly envious.

Three thousand taels of silver were put into his pocket in a second.

"Don't worry, sir! I promise to take good care of the brothers and eat and drink well! I will never let my sister-in-law down!"

If her husband were to treat us, he wouldn't be so stingy.

In order not to embarrass his wife, Nie Yao counted out another three thousand taels and gave them to the military officer.

"Alright, go now! If you don't go, return the money to me!"

Nie Yao kicked the military officer without much strength, cursing, "Don't try to cheat me out of my money with a few sweet words. Get out! Get out now!"

The subordinate, who had the same intention but hadn't had time to speak, bared his teeth.

Dust off your body and run away quickly.

"Wait, come back!" Nie Yao didn't want to use money to buy his subordinates' unrealistic sweet words. If it wasn't worth it, he wouldn't like to hear it. But his wife might like it.

He took out two small silver melon seeds.

"If you see my husband next time, remember to be sweet-tongued. Let those roughnecks go home and read some books. See how those eloquent scholars praise others. Learn from them. There will be benefits. Do you understand?"

What it means is that if you praise your sister-in-law more, you will get reward money!

My sister-in-law is rich and generous, much more extravagant than their parents.

Although they don't like reading, they all think this job is worth it.

Everyone who heard it agreed with confidence.

"Don't worry, sir! We'll go back to study right away, and we'll show my sister-in-law that we have some knowledge!"

Said it with great confidence.

However, Nie Yao did not have high expectations for this and waved his hand to let them leave quickly.

The military officer who got the money ran away as fast as he could.

Nie Yao stood where he was.

He weighed the shrunken purse, sighed silently, and put it back in his pocket.

Waited for a while at the palace gate.

Du Sui Lan, who had taken off his dragon robe, slowly walked out.

In the past, whenever he saw Nie Yao, he would jump up and stick to him, but this time he didn't do that.

Du Sui Lan looked at Nie Yao silently.

Nie Yao walked over, picked him up and hung him on himself.

Putting her hand close to his face, she whispered, "What's wrong, wife? Are you still unhappy?"

My husband is still so gentle.

Du Suilan straightened her beautiful lips and said with a nasal tone, "Husband, I killed someone."

"You mean, the ones whose heads the Dragon Guards took off today?"

"Hmm. Will my husband hate me?"

So that's what I was worried about.

Nie Yao felt that his wife's slight concern was a big improvement, and he reassured her, "Bad people don't deserve sympathy."

He knew that those people had done some dirty things to a greater or lesser extent.

From their perspective, some things may seem insignificant, but to the people, everything they do is a calamity.

The people were like ants to them.

The evil ghost who thinks he is noble doesn't care about the life and death of ants at all.

"Wife, sometimes killing is not a bad thing. My wife is the emperor, and she should plead for the people and eliminate those bullies who oppress them!"

“You did a great job.”

"So don't feel any burden. Okay?"

He thought his wife was worried because she had a boyfriend.

Actually, it is not.

Du Suilan was happy to send those who didn't know what was good for them to die.

Killing them only brings him pleasure.

As for panic and worry?

I'm just worried that my husband will think I'm cruel.

"But I sent so many away at once, in front of all the officials." Du Sui Lan buried his face in Nie Yao to hide the pleasure in his eyes.

He tried in a pitiful tone: "I'm so scared. What if you, my husband, hate me? I'll just end their lives like this."

"You mean... we should first tell them all the crimes they've committed, so they can die with a clear conscience?"

It's a waste of time.

Is my wife too kindhearted? Isn't that right? His wife is not a soft-hearted person!

Killing off people he dislikes will only make him applaud.

Nie Yao, who sensed something was wrong, lowered his head to look at his wife's face, and sure enough, he could read happiness in the small half of his face that was occasionally revealed lazily.

"Wife..."
