Chapter 6: Another melon of the unlucky emperor
Minister Fang pulled Fang Lingchu in front of the historian Lord Chang and said, "Lord Chang, please take care of my daughter from now on." Minister Fang's attitude was very good. Moreover, although Minister Fang's official position was higher than his, he could speak to him like this for the sake of his daughter. His attitude was rare.
"Lord Fang, there's no need to be so polite. It seems that your daughter is very much in my favor. We will work together in the future and we are all colleagues. It's hard to say whether I will take care of you or not." Lord Chang was an old man, stroking his beard with a smile.
Fang Lingchu bowed politely and asked, "Hello, Lord Chang."
I complained to the system in my mind: [System, my boss looks so old.]
The system said: [I am not that old, why do I need a little assistant like you?]
Fang Lingchu nodded and said, "So it's this guy's fault that I was dragged to court?"
Fang Lingchu's words were full of danger.
Lord Chang felt a chill down his spine as he listened to her thoughts.
After hearing this, Minister Fang felt ashamed and could only cough awkwardly.
When Master Chen heard Fang Lingchu's inner voice, he was a little frightened. Just as he was about to speak, the master beside him quickly covered his mouth and said, "The emperor is here, hurry up and go to court."
Then the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened.
Everyone entered the court in an orderly manner. Fang Lingchu stood with Lord Chang. Although her rank was low, she stood in the front because of her special position.
"Go to court!"
Three cheers for Long Live the Emperor.
The emperor said, "If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."
Soon everyone started discussing the affairs of the Dragon State, and they even started arguing over one thing.
Fang Lingchu yawned quietly and watched Mr. Chang writing furiously. He wondered whether he should ask him if he needed help, but was rejected.
Fang Lingchu, who had nothing to do, felt a little sleepy. To prevent himself from falling asleep, he asked, "System, I'm so bored. Is there any gossip I can hear?"
The system heard its host's question and said cheerfully: [Yes, it's your unfortunate Majesty's super big melon.]
Ministers!!!
This Lord Xiao Fang is asking for his life, actually speaking of the tyrant like this.
Emperor Chongde: ...
Why do so many people want to eat my melons? However, the emperor still pricked up his ears to listen, because he himself didn't know what melons he had to eat.
At this moment, Minister Fang was confused. Why did she want to eat the emperor's melon again? Why did he feel that their family was one step closer to the underworld?
The person could hardly stand.
Fang Lingchu didn't notice the changes in other people. When he heard that it was the emperor's melon, he became a little excited.
The system's cheerful voice rang out: "Your emperor is truly pitiful. With such a large country, he's incredibly poor. Don't be fooled by his glamorous appearance. In fact, apart from his outer clothes, his inner clothes, including his underwear, have been patched up for three years."
Fang Lingchu stole a shocked glance at the emperor, then said, "Hahahahaha, I didn't expect the emperor to look so majestic. I didn't expect him to be so poor. No wonder he always rewards others with calligraphy and plaques. I thought he was into the arts. Hahahaha, this is hilarious."
Fang Lingchu's laughter was so magical that everyone felt like it came from all directions.
The word "poor" hit everyone's head, and also hit the emperor's heart.
The emperor's ears began to feel hot.
Listening to his daughter's laughter, Minister Fang began to think about where the family should be buried. At least, he wanted to prevent their bodies from being left exposed in the wilderness.
Emperor Chongde's face was so familiar that he could only pretend to discuss state affairs to divert attention. How did that system know about his clothes, even his underwear?
He secretly glanced at Fang Lingchu, who seemed to be standing quietly. Why wasn't she ashamed at all for knowing a man's underwear?
The ministers and princes below looked at the emperor and did not expect that the emperor's life was so difficult.
Even their underwear was torn, which made people feel a little pity for them. After all, when the emperor cried poor to them before, they thought it was fake.
I didn't expect it to be true. Their Majesty is really poor.
Emperor Chongde got goosebumps when he saw everyone looking at him with such pity.
Minister Fang knew best why he was poor. If it weren't for the fact that the national treasury was out of money, and Minister Fang was a very good accountant, why would he have to put in the money?
The country has no other benefits, and he has to clean up the mess left by his father. How can he not be poor? What's so funny?
The system continued: "But this can't be blamed on him. He has a troublesome father. But at least he's a super good emperor, diligent in his work and caring for his people. At least he's much better than many emperors I've seen."
Fang Lingchu echoed in his heart, "From the fact that he was able to defy all odds and allow a woman like me to attend court, it's clear he's a good emperor with his own ideas. This level of thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Hehehe, he even discovered my incredible intelligence."
Everyone: How come this person praises His Majesty and also praises himself?
Emperor Chongde was speechless. However, upon hearing the system's evaluation of him, he felt elated.
Although it is his duty to do these things, he is still very happy that someone can praise him.
The system and Fang Lingchu started chatting about this topic. The two of them became more and more excited as they talked. The others also listened very seriously, and the voices of discussion became quieter and quieter.
Everyone was listening to gossip while discussing national affairs, doing two things at once.
"Your Majesty, Prince Anjin has abducted women, assaulted people in public, and killed many innocent people. This has severely impacted people's livelihood. Your Majesty, please make a decision."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as commoners. Prince Anjin has gone too far, Your Majesty."
Fang Lingchu's attention was immediately drawn to the two adults' voices.
Both of them listened quietly.
"Your Majesty, Prince Anjin has relied on his father's achievements to become arrogant and domineering, doing whatever he wants in the capital. I don't know how many civilians he has harmed. Please review the various laws he has violated."
A memorial was submitted, and Emperor Chongde's face became increasingly darker as he looked at the compromises one by one.
"asshole."
The emperor roared and everyone knelt down. Fang Lingchu was a little slow to react, and Lord Chang next to him quickly pulled him back.
Fang Lingchu's knees made close contact with the ground. Fang Lingchu grimaced in pain and was very angry.
[Couldn't he just give her a little reminder? Her kneecaps are about to break! ! ! ! !]
The originally solemn court was broken by Fang Lingchu's shout.
"My dear ministers, please stand up. The Junior Minister of the Dali Temple is here."
"I am here."
"Is this true?"
Wu Renjie, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was sweating profusely. His Majesty knew a little about these things, but he had always turned a blind eye. Now he was asking him...
[System, why do I feel like Your Majesty is asking questions that you already know the answer to?]
Lord Wu: He is the mouthpiece of the imperial court. Lord Xiao Fang really saved his life.
He was asking even though he knew the answer. After all, Prince An died for him, so even if he knew, it wouldn't really matter.
【Didn't you say that our Majesty is a wise ruler?】
"Yes, but Your Majesty feels that Prince Anjin's affairs are family matters."
[The emperor is already harming the people, yet he's still fussing over his family affairs. Is he crazy?]
Emperor: There is nothing wrong with me, no...
Minister Fang: I feel like my family is going to die again.
"Your Majesty, Prince Anjin is the only orphan left by Prince An. Don't let the border generals and soldiers feel disheartened."
A burly man stood up.
At this time, a man with a rather delicate appearance said, "Does that mean that the people of the world will be disheartened towards Your Majesty?"
"Prince An died for the people of the entire city. Can't you even tolerate him leaving behind a single descendant?"
[System, what are they arguing about? ]
[One wants Prince Anjin to die, the other doesn't.]
What evil has Prince An done? Can I eat this melon?
【Can. 】
【Isn't it said that you can't unlock it if you can't see the person? 】
【Hehehe, there are people related to him here, they can be unlocked. 】
