After saying that, he pulled the bewildered Li Chang'an out of Jianlong Pavilion.

"This is my Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Yan Song!"

Emperor Jianyuan pointed to Yan Song and introduced him.

Upon hearing the name, Li Chang'an instantly sobered up. He calmly looked Yan Song up and down and said, "Good! Good name."

The moment Li Chang'an heard the name, he felt that he was destined to be associated with the Hell's Lamp.

As far as he knew, a major flood occurred in Lingnan last year, and the imperial court allocated 200,000 dan of grain and 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.

He then withheld them all, saying he needed to verify them.

Then, after that check, there was no further news.

Based on this point alone,

He could then sit in the VIP seat of the Hell's Lamp.

Not to mention that over the years, this scoundrel has been increasing agricultural taxes, from two out of ten at the beginning of the country to six out of ten now.

It's all thanks to that bastard.

Yan Song cupped his hands in greeting to Li Chang'an, a smile on his face and a kind and amiable look in his eyes.

After all, according to Cao Zhengchun, the mountain next door was cleaved open by someone else.

This made it impossible for him not to be kind and approachable.

Emperor Jianyuan then introduced the next official.

"This is Lord Qin Hui, the Imperial Academy's Academician and the Censor-in-Chief."

Upon hearing this name, Li Chang'an's eyes lit up even more.

The Lamp of Hell, two VIP seats.

Just for that name, you're good enough to be in Hell's Lamp.

Not to mention that this person is the same as in his previous life.

Loyal surrenderers.

Every time the Liao people attacked, this Imperial Censor was always the first to lead the way in surrendering.

He basically killed all those civil officials and generals who advocated war.

Moreover, he was Yan Song's top general, and the number one person to embezzle, accept bribes, and increase agricultural taxes.

Looking at Qin Hui and Yan Song, who both had smiles on their faces.

Li Chang'an's eyes were somewhat cold.

Putting everything else aside, if these two had lived to the end of the month...

That would be considered a happy funeral.

If he survives to the end of the year, then it's because Li Chang'an is a bad person.
