The next day.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was severely depleted of his health, and had been angry for some time.
My health is not as good as it used to be.
He had just entered the palace gates when he was pushed to the ground by several ministers.
My buttocks weren't fully healed to begin with, and now I've fallen flat on my face again.
All I heard was the cracking sound of bones again.
"Ah!" He gasped in pain.
"Oh? Lord Fang? What's wrong with you?"
The Grand Commandant, who was walking from not far away, saw Fang Shang fall down, straightened his sleeves, and went over to greet him.
The Marquis of Zhenbei thought he was there to help him up, and hurriedly reached out his hand.
But after a long while, the Grand Commandant did not reach out his hand.
Looking up, there was no one in sight.
Then, he forced himself to walk step by step toward the Golden Palace.
At this moment, the Golden Palace was in complete chaos.
"Your Majesty, what kind of son did the Marquis of Zhenbei have? Yesterday in his private garden, that Lin Shiming actually dared to harass my precious daughter."
"Your Majesty, my daughter is only five years old. How could he do such a thing?"
“Your Majesty, yesterday, my granddaughter ran home crying, saying that the Marquis of Zhenbei’s son had touched her hand…”
Before the emperor could even sit down, he was swallowed up by the mouths of his officials.
His face looked rather grim.
General Yao was furious upon hearing this:
"His son harassed your daughter and granddaughter? The money my unfilial son spent on his wedding was all swindled away by his daughter. She said she wanted a thousand taels of silver just to hug her."
What a rebellious son! He actually brought his savings for getting married with him!
What a misfortune for our family to have such a rebellious son.
No wonder he'll be a fire starter in the future.
The Minister of Personnel was indignant after hearing General Yao's words:
"General Yao, your family gets a thousand taels for a hug? My family got ten thousand taels for two hugs. Look at this, isn't this a scam?"
He wanted nothing more than to tear his court robes to shreds in anger.
...
In the imperial court, the mournful voices of the officials could drown out the drumbeats outside signaling the start of court.
The emperor was dumbfounded.
Such a big thing happened at the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence yesterday?
"Your Majesty, Lin Chang'an also said that his sister is a lucky star, and that hugging her is more effective than doing good deeds; it's a blessing earned over several lifetimes." As he spoke, the Grand Secretary took out a crumpled talisman from his pocket and threw it on the ground. "Your Majesty, look, this worthless health talisman cost my son fifty taels!"
The emperor looked over and saw a yellow mass that had been kneaded into a small ball and rolled down the steps of the main hall.
His eyes widened, and he said urgently, "Eunuch Wang, go and see what it is!"
Wang Gonggong opened his eyes wide and rubbed them several times before he could vaguely make out a small thing not far away.
Wow... When did Your Majesty's eyesight become so sharp?
He hurriedly ran over, squatted down to pick it up from the ground, and then placed it on the dragon throne.
The emperor eagerly opened it, and a health talisman gleaming with golden light appeared before him.
He suppressed his joy and cleared his throat.
"Foolish thing! What a fine daughter the Marquis of Zhenbei has raised! How could she possibly give such a thing to my officials?"
"Your Majesty, do you think so too?" The Grand Secretary looked smug, thankfully he was wearing it.
"Who else did he give his daughter to?" the emperor asked deliberately, trying to appear authoritative.
When the Grand Secretary took it out, the other officials also took it out of their pockets.
"Your Majesty, and your humble servant as well."
“Your humble servant also has some.”
"I have it too."
"I also have..."
Before long, one after another, they angrily threw the talismans in their hands to the ground.
Looking at those dazzling yellow talismans, the emperor realized for the first time that yellow could be so lovely.
He didn't bother to let Eunuch Wang take it; he stood up directly from the dragon throne and walked down the steps.
Then.
He personally bent down and picked up the papers one by one from the ground, saying as he did so, "These lying on the ground are affecting your court sessions, so I'll pick them up first..."
The officials stared in shock at the emperor, who was squatting on the ground, disregarding his dignity, picking up the papers one by one.
The official kept dropping the tossing the toss... then stopped.
emperor,
They seem to be having a lot of fun finding it?
The emperor was sweating profusely from picking them up, but he was overjoyed.
He just looked at it carefully.
He even has a spirit power talisman. The Holy Kingdom hasn't had a person with spirit power for a hundred years. I never thought he would find such a treasure.
A health charm for the Queen Mother.
The beauty charm was used to appease the empress.
Give yourself a longevity charm.
A lucky charm was placed in the imperial tomb.
The Truth Talisman will be used against those rebellious sons; let's see who dares to covet his throne now!
As for the other exorcism talismans, yin-yang talismans, and luck talismans, he used them all himself!
He refused to believe that China was inferior to other countries.
The Emperor stood before the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, spread his hands, and said, "My son-in-law, I have lost this for you."
Suddenly, Lord Su's hand holding the talisman trembled a few times, and he said insincerely, "Um, Your Majesty, this humble subject... will throw it away later."
"How can this be? I, the Emperor, am doing this for you out of kindness, and you don't even appreciate it?"
Officials: ? ? ? The Emperor is abusing his power?
Lord Su swallowed hard.
He thought to himself: What is the Emperor doing? Why isn't he telling the truth at all?
The Emperor suddenly spoke up: "These talismans will be very useful to me!"
After saying this, the emperor suddenly covered his mouth.
How could this be? This is not what he wanted to say.
What he meant was, throw this talisman away!
"I won't lose it, I want to use it for protection!"
Officials: ? ? ? Why do I feel like I've been tricked?
The emperor was so frightened that he covered his mouth again.
He took off running towards the dragon throne.
