Jiang Tian sat inside the house and heard the sounds of punches and kicks outside.
"Don't kill him, wake him up quickly."
Only then did the eunuch stop.
They poured the two buckets of ice-cold water over Murong Chui.
Murong Chui screamed and instantly woke up.
"General Murong, Lord Jiang invites you into the house."
Murong Chui was in excruciating pain all over his body, feeling as if his entire body had fallen apart. He quickly nodded repeatedly.
Soon, with the help of the eunuchs, Murong Chui returned to Jiang Tian's presence.
"This humble one greets Your Excellency." Murong Chui bowed respectfully.
"Murong Chui, I heard you brought all the memorials from the palace home?"
"Hurry up and have them all brought over; I want to take a closer look."
“This…” Murong Chuichui hesitated.
"You old thief, the lord ordered you to bring back all the memorials, what are you still hesitating for?" Murong Feng roared.
Jiang Tian grabbed the inkstone from the table and threw it at Murong Feng: "When did it become your place to yell at me?"
Murong Feng dodged lightly, and the inkstone shattered beside him.
"You little bastard, you dare to dodge." Jiang Tian grabbed the teacup next to him and smashed it at Murong Feng's face.
Murong Feng knelt there, not daring to utter a sound, much less try to dodge.
With a loud crash, the teacup smashed heavily against Murong Feng's face, shattering into pieces and splashing tea all over his face.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll go home and get ready right now."
"Organize my ass! Where would I put it? I'll have someone go get it." Didn't Jiang Tian understand this kid's little scheme?
"this……"
"If you dare to hesitate again, I'll kill you right here." Jiang Tian had never had any good feelings towards Murong Chui, that beast.
Crushing it is as easy as crushing an ant.
"Your Excellency, there is a treasure pavilion in my commander's mansion, where all the memorials to the emperor are kept."
Holy crap, this bastard even has a treasure vault.
"Ling Yunzhi led his men to ransack his house and confiscated everything."
Make sure you copy this carefully.
"Yes..." Ling Yunzhi strode out of the study.
Jiang Tian stood up and walked up to Murong Feng: "Look what you were doing hiding just now. Now look what happened, you're all soaking wet."
All civil and military officials should attend the morning court session tomorrow.
I have something important to tell them.
If even one person doesn't show up, you're in for a world of hurt.
Upon hearing this, Murong Feng nodded repeatedly.
Whether the civil and military officials come to court or not is beyond his control.
"Alright, you two can both leave now."
Jiang Tian waved his hand, shooing the two of them away as if they were flies.
Several eunuchs came over and carried Murong Chui away.
Murong Feng not only did not retreat, but stepped forward instead: "My lord, I have something I want to tell you."
"Speak your mind, or shut up."
"I wonder who will be spending the night with him tonight?"
"Get out..." Jiang Tian roared.
Murong Feng wanted to say something more, but he had no choice but to retreat dejectedly. When he reached the door, Murong Feng turned back and said, "My lord, how about I recommend two to you? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"What if I'm not satisfied? How can I say that?"
"You can give me a beating."
Jiang Tian had never seen such a despicable emperor.
Murong Feng has no shame in order to please himself.
"Speak."
"I wonder what type of girl the adults like, the shy type or the outgoing type, the demure girl or the refined lady, or the one who is proficient in all the arts, like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."
Unexpectedly, Murong Feng may not be good at other things, but he is quite adept at studying women.
"My lord, how about this? You sit on the dragon throne in the main hall of the palace. I will summon all the women in the palace who are still quite attractive, and you can choose whichever you like."
These past two days, he reached out and patted Murong Feng's cheek: "You're the one who knows how to get things done."
Murong Feng nodded repeatedly: "It is my honor to be able to do my part for you, sir."
"I will go and prepare immediately. Once everything is ready, I will have a eunuch come and inform you."
After saying that, Murong Feng stood up, looking smug, and ran out.
A tree without bark will surely die; a person without shame is invincible.
That Murong Feng is a shameless bastard.
...
Half an hour later.
Grandpa Gao jogged in.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty requests that you proceed to the main hall of the palace. The imperial carriage is already prepared outside."
Jiang Tian stood up and walked outside.
"Who prepared the dragon carriage?"
"It was arranged personally by His Majesty."
Jiang Tian increasingly felt that Murong Feng was no ordinary person.
Murong Feng's overtures to me suggest he's either a complete fool or someone incredibly capable of enduring humiliation.
"How has His Majesty and Murong Chui gotten along all these years?"
"They get along very well."
“Tell me the truth, or I’ll rip your head off.”
Eunuch Gao sighed deeply: "My lord, you are unaware of the fact that the Grand Marshal has been controlling the government for the past ten years or so. To put it bluntly, our Emperor is just a puppet."
As expected, Eunuch Gao didn't hide anything.
"So, is there not a single one of you civil and military officials who objects?"
"Of course there were, but anyone who dared to oppose them died, whether openly or secretly."
As for who's behind it all, isn't it obvious?
"Murong Chui is ruthless in striking at his opponents."
Anyone who gets his eye on never ends up well.
At best, the whole family would be exiled, but they would all die tragically during the exile process.
In severe cases, the entire family may be beheaded on the spot.
Jiang Tian nodded after hearing this.
"Are all the civil and military officials in the court now Murong Chui's confidants?"
Eunuch Gao pondered for a while.
"I want to hear the truth, without any concealment."
"To be honest, my lord, more than half of the civil and military officials in the court are Murong Chui's confidants, but whether these people are truly convinced or not, I really don't know."
However, while these people may outwardly submit to Murong Chui, they are probably filled with resentment deep down.
Following closely beside Jiang Tian's imperial carriage, Eunuch Gao revealed everything he knew along the way.
Jiang Tian gained a general understanding of the situation of the Xianbei.
...
Before the imperial carriage even reached the main hall of the palace, Murong Feng jogged over.
This guy has taken off his yellow dragon robe and changed into ordinary clothes.
It seems that Murong Feng is somewhat sensible; otherwise, he would have continued to wear the dragon robe in front of Jiang Tian.
"This humble servant greets Your Excellency and welcomes you."
After speaking, Murong Feng knelt down beside the imperial carriage.
