Am I the kind of person who can't tolerate waste?
There are four attendants beside the emperor, and two of them take turns every day.
"Don't I need to be on duty with your majesty today?"
After the court session, Xu Yanmiao got the news and went to the Ministry of Personnel happily.
Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Let him say that although it seems so honorable to stay with the old emperor, in fact, you dare not even make a loud breath, and you have to hold your fart. No matter what time, you dare not be distracted, for fear that you will not be able to react immediately when your name is called -
it is not suitable for salted fish at all!
It rained a little today, dragonflies flew low, and every drop of rain fell on the ground, creating vortices.
Xu Yanmiao walked on the water with an umbrella and arrived outside the government office, whistling happily in his heart. After the clerk took the umbrella and opened the door for him, Xu Yanmiao was hit in the face by the noise inside before he could even thank him.
"I heard that the King of Jibei is plotting a rebellion?"
"Who gave him the courage? Did he see the generals going out to sea and the Marquis of Yongchang fighting Japan, and felt that there was no one in the court, so he became bold?"
"How could there be no one in the court? So many generals are rubbing their hands and waiting for military merits!"
"So I'm talking about what the King of Jibei thinks."
[Awesome...are you all so well-informed? 】
Xu Yanmiao had just finished thinking when he felt that many of his colleagues who were laughing earlier were looking in his direction. They must have heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and the laughter and joy died down a lot.
Before Xu Yanmiao felt embarrassed, an official said with a smile: "It's Mr. Xu. You scared us. We thought it was the Shangshu who came."
Another official greeted him warmly: "Mr. Xu, do you want to make a bet?"
"Huh?"
Xu Yanmiao looked over in surprise: "...bet? What bet?"
The official walked over quickly and pulled him inside. Very familiar: "We just started a bet! Let's bet on how long it will take for the officers and soldiers to deal with the rebellion of King Jibei! The loser will handle the official duties for the winner for three days."
Xu Yanmiao was stunned for a few seconds: "Is this okay?"
The official whispered: "A small bet can make you happy, just don't brag about it - there are people in the Ministry of Justice who let prisoners do their work for them."
Xu Yanmiao nodded.
He saw this in the gossip system.
And his colleagues were already happily betting.
"He has been preparing for thirty years, he should be able to last longer... I bet on seven months?"
"Who are you looking down on! We have only a few lieutenant generals! Three months! We can deal with the King of Jinbei in three months!"
"I guess one month!"
"That's too short, I don't think the King of Jinbei is that..."
[Wait a minute! ]
[The King of Jinbei has been arrested? ! ]
"Ah hiss——"
The official who was speaking bit his tongue and tears burst out of his eyes.
But who cares about this!
He——including other officials in the Ministry of Personnel were also shocked by various interjections in their hearts, and almost got tongue-tied because of this.
Arrested? ? ?
How long has it been? ! From the time the King of Jinbei started the rebellion to now, it has only been two hours!
Even if his private soldiers were not elite, they wouldn't be broken so easily? Are they made of paper?
Could it be that... Your Majesty has an insider? Breaking through directly from the inside? If so, it's not impossible that the army will be defeated in two hours?
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel finally came up with a guess that respected their IQ, and then Xu Yanmiao ruthlessly overturned it.
[Even if he led a group of pigs, he wouldn't lose so quickly? Let me see...]
Xu Yanmiao seemed to see something, and his pupils dilated slightly.
[I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't underestimate pigs, pigs can still make rapid advances. But if the leader is a pig, then there is really no hope. Before
the officials of the Ministry of Personnel could ridicule Xu Lang for being so sharp-tongued, they heard Xu Lang say: [It's fine to let the soldiers fight according to the battle formation. There is a saying of deploying troops in battle formation. The King of Jibei himself went to the battlefield in person. Speaking of this, he squatted on a high place, observed with a telescope, and asked the messenger to pass on any ideas. Is it really going to the battlefield in person?]
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel showed an indescribable expression with their naked eyes.
Ah...
You either let go completely and let the front-line generals play freely, or you can directly become the commander-in-chief and sit in the central army. You want to command on the battlefield but you are afraid of death. What's the matter! You even let the herald pass the order. In the army, the herald can use flag signals, and the teams everywhere will know what to do when they see the flag signals. You are so far away from the scene... By the time the herald arrives, the battlefield will have been in a different situation!
If your majesty had fought like you, your head would probably be on the enemy's table soon.
That's it? You are still plotting a rebellion!
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were full of complaints, but they couldn't say it in front of Xu Yanmiao, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
[He has a telescope in his hand, which can reveal him. The herald was the one who passed the order on his behalf, 'The fifth musketeer from the left in the third row on the right wing, raise your musket one inch', right? ]
[If you don't defeat him in this way, who else can you defeat! 】
【I thought it was the Jinyiwei hiding in the palace who took action, but it turned out that they didn't have time to use it at all - the Jinyiwei themselves were confused. 】
【I haven't even tried my best, how come you fell down? 】
Wow!
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were amazed.
——After listening to Xu Yanmiao's voice for so long, they also became infected with Xu Yanmiao's habit of talking. They
even wanted to make a sound of "tsk tsk".
No wonder he had to prepare for thirty years. With this command ability, if he didn't prepare for thirty years, he would have said that he wanted to sit on the dragon chair that night, and a quarter of an hour later he would have been tied up by his subordinates and sent to the capital to surrender.
After taking a big bite of the melon, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were very satisfied and asked: "How about it, Xu Lang, do you want to play a game?"
Seeing the tangled look on Xu Yanmiao's face, the officials burst into laughter. One said, "Don't worry, Xu Lang, think about it slowly", and another said, "Anyway, there is no obvious gamble, whether you win or lose is not a big deal."
Xu Yanmiao smiled and said, "Then I will guess for a month."
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel looked at him in amazement.
The official who said "one month" smiled and grabbed Xu Yanmiao's shoulder and led him inside: "Good vision! Of course! Two or three months is too long, and the King of Jibei has no outstanding military achievements, but if you say a few days, it would be too disrespectful. One month, not more, not less, is just right!"
Although everyone listened to Xu Yanmiao's voice, no one deliberately used this to bully colleagues. They all joked and chose a time for the sake of meaning. When the King of Jibei was taken to the capital in a prison car, it was more than ten days later. When everyone heard that the King of Jibei had just started his army and was defeated, they pretended to be shocked and put the matter of the small bet aside.
The King of Jibei was shackled and brought to the palace with his hair disheveled. The old emperor was silent for a moment, and asked him in a speechless manner: "With this ability, you still want to rebel?"
The King of Jibei raised his eyebrows. Even though he was a prisoner, he felt that he had an aura that looked down on the world: "Gao Jianyi, I have the aura of an emperor. Temporary success or failure is nothing. And you are just a villain who stole the artifact."
The old emperor looked at Xu Yanmiao reflexively.
After the reflex, he remembered that in the past, "artifact" was also used to refer to the country.
"..." Anyway, he was on the golden stage, and ordinary people would not notice that he turned his head.
The old emperor thought calmly and clapped his hands. After a while, the Jinyiwei brought a Taoist priest into the palace.
"Did this man show you the aura of the Son of Heaven that you mentioned?"
When King Jinbei saw the Taoist priest, his eyes widened in surprise: "Sir?!"
The Taoist priest smiled obsequiously at the old emperor: "Your Majesty, this is all because of his willful behavior. It has nothing to do with me. I am just trying to make a living." King
Jinbei suddenly realized the deep meaning of the words, and his emotions immediately became unstable. Thanks to the Jinyi Guards who held him down and did not allow him to move, and also covered his mouth, otherwise his cursing would definitely pollute the air in the palace.
The old emperor smiled and said, "Tell me about the emperor's spirit?"
The Taoist said with a tearful face, "I can see that he is not a peaceful person who wants to make a living. So I said that his bones are very strange and he has the appearance of an emperor. If he started a rebellion soon, I would accept it. Who would have thought that it has been 30 years! He has not given up this idea in 30 years!"
[Of course, I have been waiting for the prince to vomit blood and die suddenly every day for 30 years. If I were to say, after the rebellion, he would have done this. Could it be that he really thinks of himself as an emperor and thinks that God will chase him and feed him? ]
[A normal person would think of other ways if he found that he failed to make someone angry to death in one or two years, such as sending someone to assassinate him directly! Isn't this better than waiting for him to vomit blood? ]
The prince nodded in agreement.
Others: "..."
You still regret that the King of Jibei failed to kill you, right?
[To be honest, it is impossible to succeed in any career if you are like this. It is strange, how can the King of Jibei be able to appoint a king of a different surname with such a character?]
Some ministers who did not follow the old emperor in his campaigns before the founding of the country immediately looked at the King of Jibei sensitively. The King of Jibei, who was struggling hard, slowly calmed down under the gazes, as if he felt something creepy.
Ministers: We are actually very curious, how did this king of a different surname come about?
[Oh wow! When the old emperor's power was not strong, he was still the leader of the forces in the Taishan area. He took his territory and surrendered to the old emperor, saying that he rebelled only to protect himself and did not want to dominate the world. If the old emperor could guarantee his wealth, he would give his territory to the old emperor. 】
【The old emperor was just starting out at the time and needed territory. This was also the first leader of a faction who defected to him, so he directly promised that if he was a viscount, he would ask for him to be a baron, and if he was an earl, he would ask for him to be a viscount - oh, so after becoming emperor, he really kept his promise and made the other party a king of a different surname, and he made him a king in the Taishan area. 】
【Eh? Isn't this quite intelligent? The bet was made decisively, shouldn't he rest on his laurels now? 】
The old emperor nodded involuntarily.
Yes! I am not a person who can't tolerate waste! Look, this man has been the King of Jibei for more than 30 years, and I have never made a move to reduce the power of the vassal!
【Oh oh! He has been lying on the credit list for too long. After being praised by people around him, he can't tell his own weight. He thinks that the old emperor would have been unstable without him, let alone fighting for supremacy. 】 【
Then he thinks that if he had been more courageous and directly attacked and occupied the old emperor's territory, he would be the emperor now. 】
【He still thinks that the old emperor didn't give enough. He thinks that the founder of the previous dynasty is sincere. He borrowed troops from the brothers and promised to make him a king. He was stepped on by his own conspirators from both sides. He immediately changed his mind: It's too stingy to make him a king. If I succeed, I will share the world with you! 】
【Wu Hu, he actually thinks that if the old emperor shared the world with him, he would not think of rebellion. Typical of greed! 】
【Although Emperor Zhou Shizu borrowed troops from his brothers and promised to share the world, he went back on his word after conquering the world and only made him a king, and also reduced the power of the vassal states, but at least he drew a big cake? 】
【The only thing the old emperor lacked was being stingy? Anyway, the cake was drawn, so it didn’t matter if it was a little fake? Anyway, it won’t kill you, and it can still let you dream for more than ten years? 】
"Puff——"
"Puff——"
Many ministers couldn't help but burst out laughing.
King Jinbei's face flushed all of a sudden.
He couldn't hear Xu Yanmiao's inner voice, so in his perspective, the Taoist priest had just finished saying: "He hasn't given up this idea for thirty years!" The next moment, these ministers used laughter to ridicule him for overestimating his own abilities.
