"Xiao He, the fate of my country depends on you!"
Xiao He held a book in his hand, with an erudite look on his face. When he met the king, he was even more steady and calm, with a smile on his face, and looked very amiable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"Come here, I will give you a reward of 500,000 coins."
He found that every time a new soldier came, he would give him a reward of 500,000 coins according to procedure. Although it was not much, it depended on what kind of important role they could play. As for the salary, that could be calculated separately.
Following him, as long as he had a bite to eat, these people would not be hungry. If the world was at peace, he would grant amnesty and comfort the people.
Although it is still a long way from that distance.
"Your Majesty, I—"
"My dear Lord Xiao, why are you so polite to me? Could it be that you think what I gave you is not enough?"
Xiao He hurriedly waved his hands to explain, with a hint of panic in his words and expression.
"Then, thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Xiao He did not hesitate and directly accepted the several tickets on the table. After all, he could not do without money now. He was a newcomer and had no money, strength, or status. If he went out like this, he would be unable to do anything and would only be a drag.
"Go to the Hanlin Academy and ask the eunuch at the door to lead you there. Someone there will give you instructions."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao He bowed and followed the eunuch to the Hanlin Academy. Meanwhile, Zhao Xin stretched out in his bedroom, just wanting to be quiet.
It would be best if no one disturbed him, so that he could relieve the stress and have a good sleep. He hadn't had a restful day recently, and being pushed around so hard every day was really not a good feeling. He felt exhausted every day.
It could also be because the war was intense. In any case, the world was unpredictable. Every time he thought about the Nan family's military power, his heart ached. He didn't have much power at the moment, and what he did have was the small group of troops he had organized himself.
It was fine for a group of people like that to play house, but if they really went to the battlefield, they wouldn't be enough to fight with bayonets. And his main source of troops was now concentrated at the border, either with the general who was stationed in all directions or in Nancang.
In other words, that old scoundrel Nan Cang had taken most of his military power, leaving him with a figurehead position, unable to mobilize any troops. He didn't know why he had to give him the military power.
Now he was sitting on the dragon throne in a daze, recalling the dream hall sadly.
He was not in a hurry. There was still a lot of time. He could take it slowly and then take back the military power step by step, letting Nan Cang know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
But this gradual process will take a long time.
When he thought of this moment, he acted decisively and without dragging his feet. His whole demeanor was cool and relaxed, and he seemed very leisurely.
Could it be that at my age, I can't outlast that old man Nan Cang? That's really underestimating him. Even if half of the old ministers in the court died, he wouldn't die.
And how could someone like him, with his perfect body that combines beauty and talent, die so easily? He would feel embarrassed to die before Chu Zhan.
Shameful.
He had the golden finger, the skills, and the generals, but he was killed by a person who had nothing. Who wouldn't be angry, upset, and explode at this?
Since it has come to this, Zhao Xin has let it go. Tomorrow will be better, and the Qin Dynasty he governs will get better and better. If the plot changes significantly, he can still get cards, so why is he panicking?
With this group of powerful officials around, he is not afraid.
Since he had already thought so, he had let it go. Then he heard a loud noise outside, which woke him up from lying down.
He has good hearing, and with the help of the accompanying system, his hearing is now close to its peak. However, the noise outside can keep him awake at night. The main reason for this is that his ears are too good.
What can I do? I guess I have to find a pair of earplugs next time. It’s no use having it be so noisy all the time.
Meanwhile, outside.
"Oh my dear lady, please stop making trouble."
Su Xi was holding a large square box, and Su Lie was beside him. The two of them started arguing outside the main hall. Although Su Lie knew not to make noise in the main hall, he had come here because the sun was shining brightly and the emperor must be reviewing documents.
"I'm planning to give it to my brother the Emperor. Are you going to stop me?"
Su Lie sighed lightly. Could it be that his sister has fallen in love with the emperor? Although his opinion has changed in recent days, this change is not enough to support him to hand over his sister to such a man!
"Sister, the emperor doesn't want this kind of thing. It would be better to give it to some chivalrous warriors."
The eunuch at the door was getting annoyed by the disturbance.
"Who is making such a commotion here? Don't you know His Majesty is sleeping inside?"
?
The emperor is now in his bedroom...sleeping?
How could it be time to go to bed when the sun was shining brightly? Could it be that they were enjoying the ups and downs of lovemaking? He was trying to act out the scene, but was caught off guard by Su Xi's sneak attack from behind, causing him to hiss in pain.
"My dear lady, what are you doing——"
Su Xi's face was filled with reluctance. She pointed at Su Lie's face, which was slightly flushed with the thought of something she was fantasizing about, and hummed inwardly. Didn't the emperor and Nan Luoying get married? It was unlikely they would become high-ranking officials.
Before, Nan Luoying always said she wouldn't marry and wanted to travel all over the country. But now, she's been sent to this palace. Even if she hasn't gotten married yet, it's probably not far from that time.
The passage of time is truly ironic.
etc.
So the emperor brother is in there now?
Zhao Xin also heard Su Xi's voice at this time, and felt that he might be hallucinating. As a result, the noisy voices kept coming one after another, making him annoyed.
"Who is making a noise in the Emperor's bedroom? Someone, arrest him!"
Zhao Xin didn't move. The sound came from outside. The little dustman at the door was shaking his whisk with a hint of exasperation.
He knew Su Xi, the eldest daughter of the Evil House, who had shared a room with the Emperor some time ago. However, the laws of the country and the rules of the family were restrictive. If someone was making a noise at the door today, it was likely that someone would go to his room and make a noise tomorrow.
How can we tolerate such a thing happening?
"Xiao Chenzi, just call them in."
The eunuch responded with a high-pitched voice, which made the scalps of the two men who were already being held up by the guards on the opposite side tingle. They had always known that this eunuch was a strange creature, but they had never expected him to be like this.
Which man's voice can be so shrill, just like that woman's?
