Chapter 194 Yunchu, we have a long way to go
Song Yunchu: “…”
In the debate arena, she has met her match.
She was silent for a moment, and then calmly replied: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Please listen to me. My destined person may not have appeared yet. Besides, I don't have too high expectations for love. Being pure and free from desires is not the same as being gay."
[You dog emperor, you can imagine whatever you want, but I insist that I am a straight man, let's see what you can do to me. ]
Jun Liluo was not surprised by her answer. He just smiled faintly and said, "This is just your current thought. It may change in the future. Yunchu, we have a long way to go."
Song Yunchu didn't say anything else.
We were almost at the front door, so it was not a good idea to continue this topic.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
Song Yunchu watched Jun Liluo's carriage leave before turning around and returning home.
When she returned to the lobby, she saw the fan still on the coffee table. She picked up the fan and stroked the Xuanlin jade pendant underneath the fan.
This top-notch luxury item designed by the Dog Emperor himself is indeed impressive.
There is a kitten carved in the auspicious clouds...quite unique.
The Dog Emperor is quite talented in design.
…
The next day.
As the sky gradually brightened, the spies of the Mingjing Division were training in the martial arts training ground as usual.
"Xiao Chu, your dart shooting has improved a lot now. The next thing you need to practice is the shooting distance. You can move the target back a bit."
Deputy Envoy Zhang was talking to Chu Yuni when he heard someone running behind him and saying, "Deputy Envoy, Lord Song is looking for you. Please hurry back to the lobby of the Mingjing Division."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Envoy Zhang left the martial arts training ground immediately. When he returned to the lobby, he saw Song Yunchu sitting behind the desk with an expressionless face.
"Sir, you have left the court. What do you want me to say?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Song Yunchu picked up a book and smashed it on his head.
He didn't dare to hide, and took the blow head-on. He didn't care about the pain on his forehead, and quickly knelt on one knee, "Sir, calm down. I don't know what I did wrong, please tell me clearly."
Song Yunchu asked him, "Do you recognize Feng Yu, the Langjiang of Guide?"
"I recognize him. Did he offend you?"
"You recognize him, but I don't." Song Yunchu sneered, "His eldest son is bullying outside, and he dares to use my name. Why didn't he tell me your name? These days, if anyone has a connection with my men, does he think he is my man?"
Deputy Envoy Zhang's heart tightened when he heard this, "Sir, I am only friends with Feng Yu, and I don't know his son."
"So you want to use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility?" Song Yunchu's tone was slow and calm, but unusually cool. "Yesterday during the Flower God Parade, he pushed and shoved in the crowd. When Your Majesty reprimanded him, he shamelessly wanted to compare his family background with Your Majesty's. Seeing his arrogance, outsiders would probably think that his father was a marquis and a prime minister. But when they asked, they found out that he was a fifth-rank military general. He also claimed that his family was the prime minister's. Don't you think it's funny?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Envoy Zhang turned pale with fright.
He quickly explained, "Sir, I was promoted by you and I always remember your kindness. I dare not cause trouble for you. My family members dare not be so arrogant outside. I didn't expect that Feng Yu's idiot son would be so stupid!"
"Really?" Song Yunchu looked down at him with a sharp gaze. "If you and his father weren't really on good terms, how could he have the confidence to do that? Tell me the truth, how much have you received from him in total?"
Deputy Envoy Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, "I received two treasures from him. The first one, as you know, is the top-quality red coral that I presented to you at the end of last year. The second one is a box of pearls I received two months ago."
"Sir, that coral is worth more than ten thousand taels, and a box of pearls is incomparable to it. When I got this good thing, the first thing I thought of was you. The world can bear witness to my loyalty to you! I saw that Feng Yu was a sensible and generous person, so I acquiesced to his flattery."
Song Yunchu frowned.
No wonder she had no impression of Feng Yu, because from the original owner's perspective, the things were sent by Deputy Envoy Zhang.
The original owner had seen too many good things. A top-quality red coral was only fresh for a few days. After a while, it was covered with dust and put into the warehouse. If Deputy Envoy Zhang hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have remembered this thing.
Deputy Envoy Zhang offered gifts without telling the origin of the things, obviously to please his superior. This was understandable. If it was really as he said - he would think of Lord Song first when he had any good things, she could retain his position as deputy envoy for the time being because of his loyalty, and order Chu Yuni to monitor him secretly to see if he was sincere.
"Sir, I know I was wrong! Did His Majesty... blame you?"
"Your Majesty trusts me and allows me to handle this matter."
Deputy Envoy Zhang felt relieved, but when he saw Song Yunchu's cold face, he became nervous again, "Then...how do you plan to punish me?"
"Do you still have the box of pearls Feng Yu gave you?"
“Still.”
"Return the box of pearls and the red coral from my mansion to him, and tell him that he no longer needs to work in the palace and that he should return to his hometown to farm. Remember, we didn't take anything from him."
"Understood!" Deputy Envoy Zhang responded quickly, "Don't worry, sir. He will never dare to talk nonsense outside, otherwise he will have to watch out for his head."
"It's not just him who needs to be careful, you too."
Song Yunchu played with his fan leisurely, a hint of coldness on the corner of his lips, "You made friends carelessly and almost brought disaster to my reputation. Listen carefully, I will only tolerate you this time, go and get thirty lashes, and this matter is over. If you dare to accept gifts carelessly again in the future, I will cripple your hands."
"Yes! Thank you for the light punishment, sir."
After Deputy Envoy Zhang left the hall, he saw Chu Yuni approaching from not far away. "Deputy Envoy, what happened? I heard from other brothers that you were hit on the head as soon as you came in. Were you punished by the master?"
"I was at fault. I was punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
"Thirty lashes of the cane? Wouldn't that make my butt bruises?" Chu Yuni recalled that she was once punished with twenty lashes of the cane by the emperor. It was a memory that she could not bear to recall.
"This is already a great favor from you, my Lord."
Seeing Deputy Envoy Zhang leave with a sigh, Chu Yuni didn't dare to ask him any more.
The deputy envoy was unwilling to speak clearly, which showed that the matter was not simple.
"Xiao Chu, is there anything wrong?" Song Yunchu's voice came from behind.
Chu Yuni turned around and responded, "I heard that you were angry, so I came to see you. Deputy Envoy Zhang is usually very nice to us."
Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you want to plead for him?"
"I dare not."
"Fortunately you don't dare." Song Yunchu laughed, "Otherwise I would beat you too."
Chu Yuni broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this.
"You are very wealthy, so I am not worried about you accepting bribes." Song Yunchu warned him, "But Xiaochu, remember this: from now on, no matter how high or low your position is, you are not allowed to bribe others."
Chu Yuni was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, look at what you said. You are my superior and Minister Gong is my cousin. I only need to ask you two for help. Why should I give gifts to others? Don't worry, I will never spend money on others."
"Having you as my superior is enough for me in my life. After following you, I feel that everyone else is just mediocre. They are not as handsome as you, and even less so than you...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked by Song Yunchu.
Seeing Song Yunchu's expressionless face, Chu Yuni quickly put away her playful smile and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely remember your words and will never cause you any trouble!"
"From today on, you will secretly monitor Deputy Envoy Zhang. If you find him doing anything suspicious, tell the Prime Minister immediately."
"yes."
"You've been sparring with General Zhao's son a lot lately, right? Go back to the training ground now and take him with you to continue sparring."
After sending Chu Yuni away, Song Yunchu returned to the imperial study.
Jun Liluo heard footsteps and looked up at her, "Have you finished?"
"Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Zhang and Feng Yu do have some friendship, but I don't think he needs to bear all the blame. I have ordered people to monitor him and punish him with thirty strokes of the cane as a lesson. I will keep his position for the time being."
"It's up to you to decide." Jun Li Luo said leisurely.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. By the way, Your Majesty, that idiot surnamed Feng cannot be kept. His position is vacant, and someone must take it."
Jun Liluo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you have any recommendations?"
