Chapter 94: Give a sweet treat after beating someone?
Jun Liluo was just thinking about it when he heard Song Yunchu's inner thoughts.
[You dog emperor, I've worked for you for such a long time, can't you see that I'm more obedient than before? Apart from quarreling with these old guys behind me, when have I ever done anything out of line? If you don't have a sharp eye, find an imperial doctor to treat me.]
[I even advised my subordinates to be more restrained, but you punished my subordinates one after another. You are really interesting.]
[If you feel bad for the old guys behind you, why don't you just tell me straight? I don't usually see how much you respect the elderly, but you want me to work overtime for you and you want to criticize me. What I hate most is a shitty leader like you. ]
Jun Liluo: “……?”
He just punished two people who deserved to be punished, but he gave Song Yunchu the illusion that he was deliberately punishing him.
Gong Mingyuan's words and deeds were arrogant, and he was reported so many times that it was not unfair for him to be punished. As a subordinate of a first-rank official, Chu Yuni's sending a young prostitute to her superior was indeed immoral. Once outsiders knew about it, it would only be Prime Minister Song who would lose face.
He thought he was doing it for Song Yunchu's own good, but this guy not only didn't appreciate it, but also misinterpreted his meaning.
Jun Li Luo felt a little indignant.
But he changed his mind and thought that if even Song Yunchu misunderstood his intention, then other officials might also think that he was taking the opportunity to curb Prime Minister Song's arrogance.
Most of the old ministers who were usually at odds with Song Yunchu would gloat over his misfortune.
Could it be that Song Yunchu was ridiculed by someone when he just came here?
Song Yunchu never loses in verbal disputes and would never lose an argument, but this person always protects his shortcomings, which is why he is upset and curses in private.
Jun Liluo was silent for a moment, then asked Song Yunchu, "I heard that Song Qing was unwell yesterday. Is he feeling better today?"
When Song Yunchu saw him start to care about him in front of all the ministers, he naturally put on a humble attitude and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now."
[You dog emperor, you beat me up and then give me a sweet date, right? You just pretend, because you can't find a better worker than me. ]
[Without me, you'll have to read all those crappy memorials until dark. The official title setting of the Tianqi Kingdom is crazy. There are so many civil servant positions, and five out of ten memorials are just nonsense. It's a pile of garbage that makes my eyes tired, but I have to read it. If I quit one day, you, the dog emperor, can just wait for your eyes to turn into panda eyes.]
[Or you can find someone else to help you share the burden. I believe the scholars behind me will be happy to do so, but can you stand their pedantry and aloofness? If someone keeps talking to you all day, and you keep listening to their chatter while working overtime, I wonder if you are crazy.]
Jun Li Luo's forehead twitched violently.
This Song Yunchu...why do I always think of him as so hateful?
He punished his ignorant subordinates, and this person thought he was deliberately beating them up. Now he cares for him in front of all the ministers, and this person said he was pretending.
All Song Yunchu has in his mind all day long is a sense of vigilance, isn't there any affection between a monarch and his subjects?
It's really hateful.
Jun Liluo took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued the court meeting as usual.
The focus of today's court meeting is the disaster situation in some counties. The situation among officials is relatively calm, perhaps because there have been constant personnel changes in recent days and no one wants to cause any more trouble.
Furthermore, the emperor expressed his concern for Prime Minister Song as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was obvious that he still valued him. The officials knew that it would be useless to say more, and they only hoped that one day they could find something to hold against Prime Minister Song so that they could severely impeach him.
…
Inside the Chu family residence, a howl resounded above the roof.
"Hiss—Do you know how to apply medicine?"
Chu Yuni lay on the bed and asked his followers to sprinkle medicine powder on his injured parts. However, as soon as the powder touched his skin, he felt a slight stinging pain, which made his face twisted.
"Sir, the doctor said that this golden medicine will indeed be a little irritating when first applied, but it will heal after a while."
After applying the medicine, Chu Yuni lay on the pillow and sighed.
I don’t know how many days I will have to stay in bed before I can get out of bed. The injury is on the back of my buttocks, and the doctor told me not to lie straight, but only prone or sideways, which inevitably makes me feel uncomfortable.
The cook made him some nourishing soup, and he had just taken two sips when he heard a servant come in and announce, "Sir, Minister Gong is here to visit you."
Chu Yuni looked outside the door and saw Gong Mingyuan walking in. His steps were very slow and he was supported by his followers when he sat down. It was obvious that the injury on his hip had not yet healed completely.
However, ten boards are much lighter than twenty boards after all. After three days of rest, Gong Mingyuan was able to walk, but Chu Yuni felt tired even to turn over.
"Cousin, your injury is not fully healed yet, how come you have time to come and see me?"
"I heard that you were also beaten with 20 sticks. I'm so scared."
Gong Mingyuan said this and waved to the servants beside him, and they all left the house.
Chu Yuni's face was moved, "So my cousin is so concerned about my injury."
"I'm not concerned about this. It's just a flesh wound. It's no big deal. It will heal after some rest. I'm worried about our future situation."
Gong Mingyuan looked melancholy. "Your Majesty has always been quite tolerant of Lord Song, and we who follow Lord Song have also benefited from it. I have long known that those old guys don't like me, and I have never been afraid of them reporting me. Your Majesty is always busy and doesn't like to pay attention to them. But this time, he suddenly punished me, and then punished you..."
"Cousin, what you mean is..."
"Everyone knows that we are on Prime Minister Song's side. Because of the big incident involving the Chu family, you have become somewhat famous. You were specially recruited by Lord Song. His Majesty punished us all. This is obviously done for Lord Song to see."
Gong Mingyuan murmured, "I'm not worried about anything else. As long as Lord Song's position is stable, we don't have to worry. I'm just afraid that Lord Song is too aggressive, and His Majesty may be wary and dissatisfied with him. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and the emperor's heart is hard to predict..."
Chu Yuni listened to his analysis and couldn't help but chuckle, "I thought it was something else? So this is what you are worried about, cousin. You are really worrying too much."
Gong Mingyuan raised his eyes to look at him, "You are so stupid, what do you know?"
"Yes, yes, you are smart. You were beaten and your salary was deducted."
"Then I got beaten less than you."
"Come on, I won't argue with you about this." Chu Yuni curled her lips, "I just know more than you do. Anyway, Lord Song will definitely not lose power, so you can rest assured."
Gong Mingyuan asked: "What do you mean by that?"
"As for the relationship between your majesty and Lord Song, it is not something that can be easily separated... um... I mean, your majesty's level of trust in Lord Song is extraordinary."
