Chapter 4 His little girl is so cute
Shangguan Sui sat on the dragon chair, swinging his feet, and complaining madly in his heart.
[This Zhenbei Marquis is no ordinary man. He wants to be the emperor so badly that he has made seven or eight dragon robes at home.]
[Two years later, the Marquis of Zhenbei will start a rebellion, and the tyrant father will be stabbed by the spies planted by the Marquis of Zhenbei...]
[Although the war was finally quelled, Daddy's health was no longer as good as before, his temper became more violent, and he became a tyrant that everyone hated.]
[The people of Dayue are gradually suffering from poverty and the officials are tyrannical. It is really pitiful...]
[My stupid father still hasn’t discovered the true identity of the Zhenbei Marquis! ]
[Alas, although Zhenbei Hou failed, ten years later, the male protagonist Xiao Ziyuan succeeded and established a new dynasty.]
Shangguan Lin was shocked when he heard this.
What Suisui said would happen two years later turned out to be the rebellion of Marquis Zhenbei!
He really didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhenbei would actually rebel!
Zhenbei Hou had made great military achievements and helped him pacify the northwest, so he really trusted Zhenbei Hou.
He didn't want to be like the emperors of the previous dynasties who would kill their meritorious officials after they had done their job.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had always been respectful to him, but he never expected...
All this trust and sincerity were thrown away!
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei entered the palace and kowtowed to pay his respects as usual.
When I was lying on the ground, I suddenly felt an extremely cold gaze.
Zhenbei Hou raised his head and met Shangguan Lin's cold eyes, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.
Why does the emperor look at him like this...
His rebellious thoughts were discovered?
That shouldn't be the case. He did it perfectly, how could he be discovered?
I guess the emperor is in a bad mood today.
"Get up."
Shangguan Lin tried hard to control his emotions. Now was not the time to make any moves.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Zhenbei finally felt relieved.
He knew that the emperor had not noticed and treated him the same as usual.
Zhenbei Hou bowed and explained the purpose of his visit today.
"Your Majesty, the army is running low on rations and needs to be replenished urgently."
Shangguan Lin did not answer. He wanted to hear Shunshun's opinion first.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhenbei Hou finished speaking, Shangguan Sui started to complain wildly in his heart again.
[You are such a big fart! You lie without thinking! You obviously embezzled the food! ]
[Not only did you embezzle food and grass, you also occupied the people's farmland! Use the court's grants to train secret guards! ]
[This money was not used for the soldiers at all! ]
If he hadn't taken into consideration her status as a three-year-old child, Shangguan Sui would have gone right ahead and slapped Zhen Beihou in the face.
Such a person is not worthy of being a general!
He loves neither the people nor his soldiers, he only has himself in his heart!
Shangguan Lin tightened his fingers around the jade bracelet, revealing veins.
This Zhenbei Marquis really deserves to die!
If it weren’t for Sui Sui, he probably wouldn’t have discovered until two years later that he had been deceived the whole time!
Shangguan Lin said in a deep voice: "I know about the food and fodder issue, but the treasury is tight right now, and there is no extra money to allocate to the army for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Zhenbei Hou was stunned.
Huh? The emperor actually rejected him?
In the past, it was clear that the emperor always gave him whatever he wanted.
His mind was a little confused and he began to stutter.
"Your Majesty...but the army and the soldiers can't wait any longer."
Shangguan Lin looked stern, "Marquis Zhenbei, I remember that I gave you a large amount of food and fodder some time ago. How come it ran out so quickly?"
"Could it be that... you have taken all of it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenbei Hou immediately knelt down.
"I dare not! I dare not! I absolutely dare not."
[Haha, you are not afraid at all, but you are too brave! ]
[You will embezzle half of the food and fodder that the imperial court distributes! You will kill all the soldiers who want to tell the truth!]
[Tyrant Daddy is still more powerful, he realized something was wrong so quickly! ]
Now that he could notice that something was wrong with the Marquis of Zhenbei and stop the damage in time, the story would definitely not develop as in the original book.
After all, before the rebellion, he had always been a wise ruler!
Shangguan Lin's voice was icy cold.
"The food and grass are used up so quickly. There is something wrong with you as a general. I will fine you one year and let you reflect on your mistakes!"
Zhenbeihou opened his mouth in surprise.
ah?
Not only did they not receive any food or rations? They were also fined?!
Zhenbei Hou wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shangguan Lin.
"Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Zhenbei Hou did not dare to offer any resistance and could only run away in disgrace like a bereaved dog.
[Wow! Tyrant Daddy is really awesome! ]
[From this perspective, the rebellion two years later might have been avoided! ]
[Okay, okay, I won’t call you a tyrant anymore! ]
Shangguan Lin heard Shangguan Sui’s thoughts and the corners of her lips curled up.
That’s great, Suishun finally stopped calling him a tyrant. He doesn’t want to be a tyrant.
As long as we can deal with the Marquis of Zhenbei now, the rebellion two years later will not happen!
He would not become a tyrant that is hated year after year.
As for what Suishun said, we can ignore Xiao Ziyuan’s rebellion ten years later for the time being.
Because……
He still doesn’t know who Xiao Ziyuan is?
However, this name does sound familiar, but I can't remember it.
Shangguan Lin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip with a relaxed look.
It seems that the decision to bring Sui Sui to Yu's study was the right one.
She is indeed his lucky star, a treasure sent by God.
Shangguan Lin turned to look at Shangguan Sui beside her with gentle eyes.
Shangguan Sui blinked, somewhat confused.
But she still smiled sweetly at Shangguan Lin, with two small pear-shaped cheeks visible.
Shangguan Lin's heart almost melted when she saw Shangguan Sui's smile.
His little lady is so cute.
Shangguan Lin picked up the cake on the table and fed it to Shangguan Sui with her own hands.
"Try it, Sui Sui. This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was newly made by the Yu kitchen. Do you like it?"
Shangguan Sui took a bite and his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded vigorously.
[Delicious! Really delicious! This is the best osmanthus cake I have ever eaten! ]
Shangguan Lin raised the corner of his mouth, and when he was about to feed another one, the voice of Eunuch Chen was heard in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is asking for an audience outside the palace."
"Let him in."
Shangguan Lin finished feeding her the cake in her hand.
Only then did he raise his eyes and resume his serious and smiling expression as an emperor.
Soon, a handsome young man in a white robe walked into the hall.
Shangguan Jue looks 60% similar to Shangguan Lin, with the same sword-like eyebrows, dark eyes, and straight nose.
But Shangguan Jue's face became even paler, his lips were bloodless, and he felt very weak.
But his posture is still like that of pine and bamboo, noble and cool.
Shangguan Jue entered the hall and kowtowed to pay his respects.
"Your son pays respect to your father."
Shangguan Lin waved his hand, "Stand up."
Shangguan Jue had just stood still when he suddenly heard a childish and crisp voice in his ears.
[Eh~ Is this my eldest brother? ]
[The door frame is really loud when the wind blows it! 】
[Stay close to my big brother! I love handsome guys the most in my life! 】
Shangguan Lin heard everything: ...
How come everyone can be praised three times?
When he came to me, I only had one sentence left, feeling depressed...
Shangguan Jue just stood there in a daze.
What's that sound?!
Calling him "big brother", his voice is still so childish.
Could it be...
Shangguan Jue raised his head and met the pair of beautiful big eyes behind the desk.
This is the fifth sister?
