Chapter 3 A Big Pot
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was not even able to worship his ancestors.
This is extremely absurd.
The civil servants who valued rules and etiquette were already filled with righteous indignation. Countless pairs of angry eyes stared at Nie Yao, wishing they could point at his nose and curse him to their heart's content in the next second.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, they did not speak.
Only Guan Gu is reliable.
His sharp and weathered eyes stared at Nie Yao.
"I have long heard that General Nie's son overturned the ancestral system, disregarded the law, and arbitrarily executed court officials. General Nie is a man of illustrious military achievements and unparalleled righteousness. I originally thought this was just a rumor spread by the people to discredit the general."
"But after meeting you today... Nie Yao, Minister Nie! How can you be worthy of General Nie's loyalty by insulting the court and disrespecting His Majesty like this? You are truly unworthy of being a son!"
He cursed nastily.
However, Nie Yao has heard all kinds of unpleasant words over the years and doesn't think it's a big deal.
He just raised his eyelids, glanced at the old man who scolded him, and silently memorized it in his mind.
He said nothing.
The half-full military officers were very greedy.
He immediately flipped the table over and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, old man!"
"What do you, an outsider, know? You're just talking nonsense!"
"I think you old, bookish guys are just jealous of us being young, strong, and capable, so you're looking for trouble! Damn it, I've been wanting to beat up these evil old bastards for a long time! Today, I'm going to show you how powerful I am!"
The strong man stuffed the official uniform that was in the way into his waist, rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight the person opposite him.
What's even more horrifying is that his colleagues next to him not only did not stop him, but hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks and followed him, as if they were going to beat them up as a group.
He saw more than a dozen burly men with fierce looks approaching him.
The civil servants trembled.
The more timid ones quietly moved and hid behind the Prime Minister to avoid having their arms and legs broken. After standing still, they also tried to straighten their backs to show that they were not cowards, but supported the Prime Minister.
"Big, bold!"
"How dare you attack an official appointed by the imperial court? Come quickly! Take them to jail!"
Cut~
Anyone who can hold a seat so close to the emperor must be a high-ranking official.
The military officer looked disdainful.
No matter what harsh words the other side says, roll up your sleeves and get to work!
"You, you guys%^￥$＜&◎+#..."
It took a lot of effort to take action.
Those civil servants who usually looked down on others and were full of filth were given special attention and were beaten black and blue in the face in a short while.
Cool!
The military officers had a great time beating him.
But the new emperor's coronation ceremony was a mess.
The Royal Guards are protecting His Majesty.
In fact, as soon as the incident happened, the commander of the Royal Guards wanted to bring people to calm the situation, but he was stopped by the new emperor before he even drew his sword.
His Majesty was seen supporting his tilted jaw with one hand.
His face was full of interest in watching the show.
So the guards drew their swords and surrounded the emperor in three layers to ensure that he would not be hurt.
"Reckless, reckless man!"
"How dare you use violence in front of His Majesty? You deserve death!"
"Your Majesty! These uncouth mountain men are about to rebel, Your Majesty—Ugh, Ugh!!"
Military officers don't like to use their brains to engage in intrigue.
But they obeyed.
Nie Yao had warned them that if they were to fight, they should not give the person being beaten a chance to complain, so the moment the newbies cried for help, his rough big hands covered their mouths.
He covered his mouth with one hand while still beating with the other.
"bass--"
In the midst of chaos.
Someone unexpectedly drew a knife from nowhere and walked towards Nie Yao. He stopped in front of him and slashed down with the knife.
Nie Yao was still eating.
It seems that the other party is not going to chop himself, but wants to chop the food on the table in front of him.
Frowning slightly.
He quickly raised his hand and grabbed the big knife with chopsticks.
Don’t you know that every grain of food on your plate is hard-earned?
Nie Yao didn't want to argue with this old man who had just been rescued from exile, but he actually dared to touch his dining table!
He flipped his left hand and slapped the other person directly.
The force is neither light nor heavy.
It just happened to send the person back, and landed at the feet of the prime minister who had remained silent.
Then he raised his hand slightly.
Signaled the fighting military officers to stop.
After receiving the instructions, the military officers stopped and spat and cursed, then stood obediently behind Nie Yao and waited for him to speak.
"Prime Minister! They are simply going too far!"
The civil servant who was seriously injured covered his injured cheek and burst into tears, pointing at people and complaining to the prime minister to make a decision on their behalf.
"His Majesty."
After the fight was over, Dou Jinyuan slowly stood up and bowed slightly to the new emperor. "I'm afraid Master Guan has injured some bones. Your Majesty, please be merciful and order the imperial physician to treat him."
Guan Gu was beaten by Nie Yao.
Compared with other civil servants who were punched, he was actually the one who was least injured.
He got up by himself.
"Your Majesty, I am fine."
You are fine, but they are!
You're a tough guy and you don't feel any pain, but we do! You were the one who caused this whole thing. Tell me, tell me, why are you criticizing Nie Yao when there are so many people you can criticize?
So is Nie Yao someone who can be scolded casually?
He has a million-strong army at his disposal, and even the Prime Minister has to avoid his attack occasionally. Why are you, an old man who just came back from exile, trying to provoke him?
Haven’t you seen that they are just angry but dare not speak out?
You are the only one talking nonsense!
It makes you look capable, right?
You old fool, no wonder your property was confiscated and you were exiled! You deserve it!
"Your Majesty, I have something to do! I have something to do!"
The civil servant, with his wound swollen, knelt on the ground, crying to the new emperor with snot and tears: "I have always been an honest official. I didn't even realize when I provoked a tiger or a wolf! I, I... wuwuwu..."
He cried sadly.
When the new emperor saw this, he couldn't help but show some sympathy on his face.
"Since Lord Guan is injured, please let the imperial physician come and see him."
The sound is quite nice.
Nie Yao put down his chopsticks after eating and glanced at the new emperor when he heard the words.
Just at this moment, the new emperor also looked over.
Their eyes met.
The new emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips and said, "Lord Nie, your people have caused trouble. How do you plan to punish them? Hmm?"
Um, what?
Nie Yao felt that this person was weird.
The way she looked at him was strange, and the tone of her voice when she spoke to him was also strange. As for why it was strange, he couldn't explain it for the time being.
Anyway, something is wrong...
"Your Majesty," Nie Yao gathered his thoughts and bowed slightly. "If we really want to discuss this matter, it's Master Guan's fault. The execution of the corrupt official was approved by the late Emperor. How can you say I'm ignoring the law?"
"Lord Guan has wronged and insulted me without reason. You gentlemen are men of justice and cannot bear to see good people wronged. It's just that you are not good at speaking, and your actions were just a result of your emotions."
It is impossible to punish.
They were all his people, and he tacitly approved the attack. Even if they made trouble, he had to protect them.
What's more, these people were not seriously injured.
Nie Yao: "Today's incident has dampened your majesty's spirits. This is indeed my fault. I beg your majesty's forgiveness."
"You, you, you, bullshit!"
"Your Majesty is very perceptive! The person making this false accusation is Guan Gu, and I have nothing to do with him!"
"But those rude men caught me and beat me up, even though I am innocent! Your Majesty, please help me!"
