Chapter 134: Xie Yulong's Follow-up
Yuanruan: [Do you have any detailed information about them? ]
System: [No, just the name.]
Yuan Ruan: [Forget it, I am not the emperor, I will forget it after hearing it.]
The emperor, who was waiting expectantly, staggered.
The courtiers showed joy.
System: [Aruan, you can remind your brother. ]
The emperor nodded slightly in approval.
The other court officials' concerns were raised again.
Yuan Ruan: [Well, forget it. First of all, we are not sure who is loyal and who is treacherous among these thirty people. If I report all of them, my brother will probably abandon them all given his personality. Even if he doesn't abandon all of them, he will find fault with them and feel uncomfortable with them. Wouldn't I be ruining their future for no reason?]
The courtiers burst into tears: !!!
Little Imperial Master, you, you are so considerate!
You are our God!
System: [Ah Ruan, how about we judge loyalty and treachery by looking at the melons? ]
Yuan Ruan: [People’s minds change rapidly, and the melon can only be used as a supplementary means, and cannot be completely determined. Moreover, these are just our guesses. What if there are no corrupt officials, but because the thirty people are too useless, the national destiny is reluctantly given a point. ]
System: [It is very likely. After all, most of them are officials who were recommended for "filial piety" and so on, so it is normal that their political level is very poor.]
The corners of the courtiers' mouths twitched slightly: ...
What happened to the one who was promoted to Xiaolian?
It doesn't mean that there will be no need for official assessment once the recommendation is made!
We can become high-ranking officials because we are selected from a group of people through assessment and screening, right?
…
Afterwards, Yuan Ruan chatted a few more sentences casually and thought of some scenes that could allow the Fifth Prince and Xie Yulong to have a face-off.
Just at this moment, the Seventh Princess, who had changed into clean clothes, and the expressionless Third Prince also walked over from not far away.
His steps seemed a little heavy.
The prince knew that his younger brother looked cold but was actually a fiery person. He must feel very bad after losing so many times in a row.
The Crown Prince stepped forward and threw a sweat towel over the Third Prince's head, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good job."
The third prince pursed his lips and said nothing.
When the Crown Prince was getting a little worried, the Third Prince suddenly pulled off the towel covering his face, looked at Qi Yue with fighting spirit, and said, "Seventh sister, let's have another fight next time? How about that?"
Yuan Ruan: [Wow, the Third Prince always looks expressionless. I didn't expect him to have such a straightforward personality.]
System: [Hahaha, he was born with a sour face. He looks cold and silent, but he is actually very emotional.]
Qi Yue said coldly: "No."
The Third Prince: "Next time we play, I will be even better."
Qi Yue: "You can't beat me."
The Third Prince: "Not only will I become more powerful, I can also find better teammates. Want to try?"
Qi Yue then calmly raised her eyebrows and looked at him, saying, "It's pointless to bully others."
The Third Prince: ...
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft... I didn't expect Qi Yue to be so sharp-tongued. Isn't this just a hint that the Third Prince is too weak?]
The third prince's face turned dark.
System: [Ah Ruan, the Seventh Princess is usually more venomous. "Draw a circle on the ground, and wish you eternal sleep." "Why don't you show your weakness to others?"... In fact, Qi Yue didn't directly say that the other party was weak, which is already a matter of human nature. ]
The prince widened his eyes slightly: ...
Even the third prince looked better.
Qi Yue carried Yuan Ruan back to the palace to rest.
…
After Yuan Ruan and his party left, the emperor signaled to the court officials to follow him to the side hall.
The chancellor of the capital city wanted to follow him, but after he had taken only two steps, the chief eunuch beside the emperor suddenly came over respectfully and called out, "Prime Minister, please come this way."
The chancellor of the capital city prefecture felt nervous, knowing that the emperor had other arrangements.
He quickly followed the eunuch to a side path and stuffed a money bag into his hand. The chancellor then began to cry, "I am also forced into this situation..."
The eunuch refused the other party's money bag, sighed and whispered: "Master, I really dare not accept this bag today. His Majesty has issued a death order, saying that you must handle it well."
The chancellor of the capital city was nervous and asked subconsciously, "What should I do?"
"I don't know." The eunuch was also puzzled, but very serious. "I am wondering why His Majesty's temper has become worse after watching a polo game. Do you know, Lord Prime Minister?"
Prime Minister: Of course he knows. He is angry with his own relatives.
The eunuch continued, "Oh, by the way, His Majesty also left a message. If it cannot be handled quietly, your family will have to...quietly. This oral order, I dare not spread it around."
The prefectural chancellor of the capital city had cold sweat on his back. He knew what the emperor meant. If he couldn't take Xie Yulong away without arousing Yuan Ruan's suspicion, then the emperor would find a fault in the court and dismiss the whole family of the prefectural chancellor of the capital city. As a relative of his family, Xie Yulong would naturally have to get out.
He said, "I understand. Thank you, eunuch."
The eunuch returned the greeting, said nothing more, and happily chased after the emperor.
…
The chief eunuch left, and the chancellor of the capital city government stood there thinking about countermeasures.
At this moment, Xie Yulong had just finished wiping the saddle. He came over casually and saluted, saying, "Brother-in-law."
"What brother-in-law! I am not worthy of being your brother-in-law." When the chancellor of the capital city saw him, he thought of his fate of being killed anyway, and his face became long.
Xie Yulong was puzzled and said, "My brother-in-law had a quarrel with my sister..."
"Just shut up, sir!" The chancellor of the capital city prefecture couldn't help swearing. He originally wanted to beat him up, but when he thought of Xie Yulong's brave deeds, he secretly hid his hand.
Xie Yulong said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to swear. It seems like he really has something urgent to do. I'll take my leave now."
The Prime Minister of the Capital City Prefecture had a heart attack when he heard this. Look at what he said. It turned out that this ungrateful person had this attitude from the beginning.
The chancellor of the capital city prefecture had a gloomy face and watched Xie Yulong leave.
Afterwards, the chancellor gave an order to his confidant.
The confidant looked at the chancellor of the capital city in shock. Beating up his uncle and extorting money on the way to and from the court? As long as his life was not harmed?
The confidant hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Master. If this lady is..."
"So you find a few middlemen and let them go find people from all walks of life and tell them that they are foul-mouthed and want to teach them a lesson," said the chancellor of the capital city government.
The confidant hesitated for a moment, nodded, and left.
But within a cup of tea, the confidant came back without stopping, bowed and said, "The master can save money now."
The chancellor of the capital city:?
The confidant said, "When I went to the lower city to look for someone, the people on the street were all laughing and sighing, saying that many people had placed orders to "beat up Xie Yulong" today, and some of them wanted a tooth from Xie Yulong as a souvenir. He said that since they were acquaintances, he could only charge one-third of the money, but if they still wanted a tooth as a souvenir, they would have to pay the full amount."
The pupils of the governor of the capital city trembled: ...
But he pinched his brows with a headache and said, "You should pay the full amount. No, give me more money."
The confidant's pupils trembled: More money? Isn't a tooth enough? You are so cruel, after all, he is my brother-in-law.
The chancellor of the capital city said, "The teeth are useless. You can let them beat people, but not the face. At most they can break teeth. No arms or legs can be broken in these two months."
The emperor asked him to remove Xie Yulong quietly.
Now that the news about the young national teacher has just been revealed, Xie Yulong was beaten badly and left the field the next day. The young national teacher must be wondering if this will affect his future career. He can only hold on for now and wait for a month before trying his best.
The confidant took the order and left.
