Volume 1, Chapter 257: Forbearance towards Xiao.
At this moment, the two of them looked like hooligans fighting on the street.
Neither gave in to the other.
The former eldest prince Chao Xiao was usually very steady. Even with the death of his grandfather, he remained calm and composed.
But now he was really trembling with anger at Feng He in front of him.
In his mind, his younger brother is the representative of barbarism.
Even though the emperor is so accommodating to you, you still go too far and say those words.
In his opinion, Feng He was not just barbaric and ignorant, but also a disloyal and unfilial person.
Feng He naturally didn't indulge the other party.
He grew up in the mountains.
Later, he wandered around with Ye Tingmu.
In his eyes, everything except Ye Tingmu is shit.
Moreover, the other party just laughed at him. Is it not okay for his elder brother to just want a mountain?
I don’t care what prince you are.
What emperor?
It has nothing to do with him, especially the eldest prince in front of him, who keeps saying in this hall that he is his elder brother.
However, as far as he knew, the previous battle of Shuiyunjian was caused by this person.
Dahei fled far away and Dongfang Shuo ascended to heaven.
He already hated this person.
Now the other party is still so arrogant, how can he tolerate it?
In other words, he didn't bring a knife. If he had, he would have chopped him down by now.
None of the court officials dared to make fun of him at this moment.
He didn't even dare to look at the Chaotianque on the dragon throne.
He was a prince and he was making such a noise in front of the emperor. If this were to get out, wouldn't the whole world laugh at him?
Ye Tingmu also knew that the situation was not good.
Although I had told Feng He before that as a prince, he should not be timid and be brave.
But I didn't ask you to be brave.
Although you cannot be suppressed by the eldest prince, you cannot say such words to your cheap father.
He knew he couldn't go on any longer.
Otherwise, given Feng He's personality, he would start fighting if he cursed a few more times.
He exerted force suddenly.
Although he didn't have a sword, he used his body as a sword, turning it into an afterimage, just as if he had drawn one.
Passing by like the wind.
Everyone only felt a gust of wind in the Golden Palace.
Then Ye Tingmu appeared in front of Feng He.
Then, he dragged Feng He down the stairs in front of the frightened crowd.
"I'm sorry, he was just talking nonsense."
Feng He looked at his elder brother in surprise.
"Brother, don't stop me. I'm going to kill him."
Ye Tingmu was speechless, rolled his eyes, and felt angry and helpless.
"Who are you trying to kill? How come you're learning bad things from Jinghong?"
"I....."
"What do you mean by me? Be honest."
"Uh... okay."
Ye Tingmu said a few words, and Feng He, who had been furious like a mad bull just now, instantly became obedient.
But his eyes were always fixed on Chao Xiao.
He also made a gesture of wiping his neck to the other person.
Provocative and unscrupulous.
Chao Tianque also spoke at this time.
His voice was no longer as gentle as when he spoke to Feng He before.
Instead, it became full of oppression again.
"As a prince, how can you quarrel like this in public? Where is the dignity of the royal family? This throne room is not a place for you to curse and show off."
The emperor was angry.
A group of ministers bowed their heads.
Dare not touch the dragon's might.
Even Ye Tingmu felt an inexplicable pressure coming from Chao Tianque at this moment.
It made him feel extremely heavy.
This is the aura from the emperor, it is indeed violent.
Chao Xiao knew that he had lost his composure, so he took a deep breath and calmed down.
He put on a normal expression again, but anger still lingered between his brows and in his eyes.
He bowed towards Chaotianque.
"Father, I have lost my composure, but..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chao Tianque and stopped abruptly.
Then Chaotianque's voice sounded.
"Okay, there's no need to say any more. Your brother just returned to Beijing, so naturally he hasn't changed some of his habits yet, and his words are a little inappropriate."
Having said this, he paused, his tone becoming more serious before continuing, "But he has no ill intentions. They are both my sons. Today's matter ends here."
Chao Xiao was helpless. It was really obvious that his father was partial to him.
It was Feng He who was obviously the rude one, and it was also Feng He who cursed first.
Maybe when it comes to him, I feel that I am wrong.
He couldn't understand, nor did he want to understand.
He had originally had no interest in the Emperor of Kyushu, but he continued to do it only to fulfill the last wishes of his grandfather and master.
But now he has changed and made up his mind that he must become the emperor no matter what.
There is no other reason.
If Feng He became the emperor, he would probably have to leave his hometown.
And his father was so partial to him, which really made him hate him.
He is obviously the best.
He slowly lowered his head and frowned.
Bow in the direction of Chaotianque.
"Your son will obey the emperor's order."
Everything stopped because of Chao Tianque's words.
Feng He and Ye Tingmu were still standing in the hall.
"Okay, Ye Tingmu, I can't give you that mountain now, but you have protected Yi'er for five years. Your hard work and contribution are great, so I will reward you. Tell me if there is anything else you want."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingmu also bowed to Chaotianque.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Taking care of Feng He is what I should do. I don't need your reward."
Chao Tianque smiled with relief. He really liked Ye Tingmu's humility. If Feng He could be half as calm as him, he would be satisfied.
"I said I would reward you, so of course I will reward you. Since you don't have what you want..." Having said this, Chao Tianque looked at Zhang Ruling.
Then he continued, "Lord Zhang, how do you think I should reward you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruling stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ye is definitely not an ordinary person. I believe that ordinary things like gold, silver, and treasures will naturally not catch his eye."
"I heard that Mr. Ye wrote a poem that will be remembered for ages at the Northern Mang Poetry Society. I am not talented, but I had the honor of reading it from my junior brother. I was deeply moved."
"Mr. Ye is a man of great talent. Moreover, I heard that although Mr. Ye holds no official position in Beimang, he is deeply loved by the people. His words are also very loving to the people, which makes us ashamed."
"Oh....there is such a thing?"
This praise made Ye Tingmu feel a little embarrassed.
Is he that powerful? How come he doesn't know it?
But the man just now said that he had seen his poems from his junior fellow apprentice, so his junior fellow apprentice should be Li Changling.
Zhang Ruling continued, "Your Majesty, these can all be verified. I think that a person like Mr. Ye who has great ambitions, cares about the people, and has such great talent should not be buried. Therefore, I think that he should be given an important position to allow Mr. Ye to display his knowledge."
Ye Tingmu's heart skipped a beat. This meant he was going to become an official.
Damn it, when he thought about getting up so early to attend court, he didn't want to be this official.
Besides, my younger brother is already a prince, so what’s the use of me being an official?
Don't even think about it.
"Your Majesty, I am still young and would like to study for a few more years and learn more."
Chao Tianque ignored it without saying a word.
"According to the Prime Minister's opinion, what official position would you like to grant me?"
"Your Majesty, the Chengnan Prefecture is currently vacant for a Shaoqing (Second Official) to adjudicate cases. I believe Mr. Ye is qualified for the position."
He nodded slightly to Tianshuo.
"The position of the Fourth Young Minister of the City is indeed suitable. Do you have any objections?"
Since the Prime Minister and His Majesty have spoken, how can anyone else dare to say anything?
Even at this moment, they had some objections to Ye Tingmu's promotion to Shaoqing.
But no one dared to say it out loud.
"I have no objection."
"Then it's settled. Come... prepare the imperial edict."
Ye Tingmu's brows twitched. What did he mean it was decided? He hadn't agreed to it yet.
Why should I become a third-rank Shaoqing?
I don't want to be an official.
Also, what about the eldest prince's people? Is there no one who stands up to oppose?
