Chapter 61 What a weird person
Eat melons: !!!
They don't understand why Cheng Yian is hated by the country?
To put it bluntly, even the Second Prince, who caused great harm to Daxia, especially in the officialdom, did not receive such treatment.
The court officials couldn't help but look at Marquis Chengguo again.
What kind of treacherous and evil person will this person's eldest son become in the future?
You can actually get +2 National Fortune Points by being a commoner your whole life? !
System: [Let me see! Oh my god, Cheng Yian is really seriously ill! This man actually took 30,000 soldiers to fill the swamp pit in order to save his life! 30,000 soldiers were buried alive! ]
Crowd: !!!
What?!
This man caused 30,000 soldiers to be buried alive? !
The emperor who was originally sitting on it suddenly stood up, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his whole body was shaking slightly with anger.
The military generals sitting behind the bushes and rockery had red faces and clenched and unclenched their fists subconsciously.
Cheng Yian felt dizzy and fell to the ground with fear on his face.
Cheng Guohou was also terrified. He didn't even look at his beloved son. He trembled as he looked at the emperor. His calves trembled with fear at the emperor's violent eyes. It was over! It was really over!
These disturbances caught Yuanruan's attention, and he wondered:
[Brother, why did you stand up? What are you looking at? Tong'er, did you hear anything?]
System: [No, let me see what the melon is like...]
The court officials shuddered: !!!
Don’t look at the melon!
If the system reveals that we have been eavesdropping nearby, won't many things be revealed? !
At this time, several court officials turned their eyes to the prince, and coincidentally, the emperor also looked at the prince.
Prince: ...
I see. It's his turn to take the blame again.
The prince suddenly stood up and said, "Father, I have something to report. The noise just now was not from the spy but from the court officials of Great Xia. The movement of the chief of the palace guards selecting weapons attracted the attention of the court officials. When I came, I saw that they were very worried about the performance of the gentlemen, so I took the liberty to bring them to the corridor outside to wait. I hope that Father will forgive me."
The emperor looked at the prince with satisfaction. Good, he is good at making up stories!
He nodded and said, "Let them come over."
The court officials immediately moved around, helping each other to wipe off the leaves and dirt on their bodies, and then went to the small corridor at the back. Then, they saluted as if they were entering for the first time and said, "Your Majesty, we are so presumptuous to come here. I hope Your Majesty will forgive us."
Yuan Ruan suddenly realized: [No wonder my elder brother stood up to look, hey, it’s all for the child, pity the parents in the world. ]
The system looked at the bushes and melons on the rockery in silence and confusion, and finally nodded: [Yes, they are flexible. ]
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Ruan continued: [Tong'er, why did he lead 30,000 Great Xia soldiers to die? Tell me, I'll see if I can find a way to remind my brother! ]
When the emperor heard this, his anger subsided a bit: He is worthy of being my son, I am so touched.
System: [According to the Gua system, this is a plan your elder brother came up with to recruit military generals in order to deal with the war against Shu. He convened a meeting of young talents from military generals' mansions in the court and asked them to make plans for the war against Shu. The Chengguo Marquis' Mansion was originally composed of military generals, and Cheng Yian also went there as the heir. Then, didn't Cheng Weining leave for Shu? ! In order to show off, Cheng Yian deliberately said that Cheng Weining was his spy who was ambushed in Shu, and he got detailed information about Shu from Cheng Weining. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? So Big Brother believes me? And has entrusted me with an important task?]
System: [Your elder brother didn't really believe it, but just gave face to Cheng Guohou and let Cheng Yian go as a junior general. But Cheng Guohou especially trusted his son and ordered his father's old generals to listen to Cheng Yian. But the old generals didn't listen. Cheng Yian was resentful and deliberately gave the old generals sleeping pills. While the old generals were resting, he forced 30,000 people to sneak into Shu from the swamp together, calling it a surprise attack from heaven. As a result, it happened to encounter continuous heavy rains, and 30,000 people were trapped in the swamp and eventually buried alive by mudslides. ]
Eat melons: !!!
Even if they have heard it once before, they still can't hide their anger when they hear it again.
Previously, there were a few court officials who showed sympathy to the Marquis of Chengguo, but now they all looked at each other coldly, and some even mouthed vicious words: You brainless accomplice.
Cheng Weining was even more furious, those generals were his playmates since childhood, and they were gone just like that!
While Yuan Ruan had his back turned, Cheng Weining covered Cheng Yian's mouth without saying a word and dragged him over. He stepped heavily on his body and slapped him hard several times, causing him to faint.
Cheng Weining's expression was so fierce and his momentum was so strong that even Li Dongyang didn't dare to really stop him. He only blocked him a few times symbolically.
The gentlemen nearby who could hear what was going on silently helped to form a human wall, on the one hand preventing Yuan Ruan from seeing them, and on the other hand secretly giving Cheng Yian a few hits.
Yuan Ruan: [This person is even more hateful than a paper warrior! He is a completely talentless, self-willed idiot! I think the key point to avoid is not the eldest brother, but Cheng Guohou. ]
System: [Yes! Let me see! Tsk tsk, this Marquis Chengguo is also a man who favors his concubines and kills his wife. Let’s not talk about those trivial things today. Ah Ruan, the Marquis Chengguo is going to write a letter after the banquet for the consort, hoping to let his eldest son inherit his title! Ah Ruan, first take away his title, and then slowly plan other things. In this way, if he dares to mention giving Cheng Yian a title, you will strike him with lightning once! ]
Yuan Ruan: [That’s right! I’ll tell you a few times and I’ll hit you a few times! I don’t believe he can still be so stubborn. ]
The onlookers were still angry: Not enough! Why not just kill this evildoer directly!
Although Cheng Guohou was delighted to have saved his life, he kept a bitter face, fearing that others would see that he was in a good mood and then beat him up.
Yuan Ruan sighed again: [Tong'er, why don't you give up the task of helping Cheng Weining and the princess get married? With a father who dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, and a brother who has a hole in his brain, no matter how good Cheng Weining is, he is not a good match.]
The queen finally smiled and turned to look at the emperor.
The emperor frowned slightly, as if he was persuaded.
Some court officials thought that the princess should get married, as this would be a good sign for the country's fortune. Moreover, everyone had heard their thoughts, and the princess would definitely not suffer a loss if she got married like before.
However, another group of court officials held reservations and whispered: "After all, this is the mission of the little imperial teacher, and her happiness is the most important thing."
Those court officials who insisted on accumulating points hesitated. This was absolutely true. After all, the core of the national destiny mission was the destiny of the small country.
Only Cheng Weining had a dim look in his eyes, with a lost and anxious expression.
System: [What? Then those top-notch farm tools can’t be released in advance! Cheng Weining will be the top agricultural tool master of the contemporary era! Do you really not want it? ]
The onlookers were shocked: !!!
Wait?!
The most advanced agricultural tools? ! The master of top agricultural tools? !
Cheng Weining was also confused, especially noticing the ferocious eyes of the officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue beside him. He wanted to say: Wait... I have never been to the fields, I am powerless!
Yuan Ruan was also surprised: [Huh? His personality is so powerful? Wait, there is no need to get married! Why not let him be in charge of the agricultural tools department? ]
Everyone in the Ministry of Works smiled and nodded happily.
The people in the Ministry of Revenue wanted to shout, "Little Imperial Master, you are wrong! Our Ministry of Revenue is mainly responsible for agriculture!"
System: [No! He can’t be successful without getting married. Listen to me.]
Crowd: …
I've only heard that "no punishment, no success". This is the first time I've heard this.
Everyone pricked up their ears.
I want to hear why we must get married.
