Chapter 4: Noob Faints
Civil servants are the most eloquent.
He likes to use sarcastic language in his daily conversations. To show that he is different from others, he even quotes classics when insulting others.
It's so funny, the military officers don't understand at all.
No matter how he cries, as soon as he stops crying, just clean his ears as if nothing happened.
He knelt down and offered the classic three denials, "I didn't do that, I didn't do that, he's talking nonsense!"
"I am wronged!"
He beat people in public and still claimed he was innocent.
The new emperor smiled.
Very happy, "Lord Nie, you are truly different from others."
The slender fingers are smoother and whiter than flawless jade.
He nonchalantly fiddled with the tarnished jade cup and asked in a playful voice, "I wonder which is better, your ability to talk nonsense or your ability to fight?"
"Your Majesty, I am a very stupid person. The only thing I am good at is fighting wars!"
"I'm not bragging, I've fought in a few battles, and this is it!"
The military officer who spoke gave a thumbs-up.
Also kneeling.
They all knelt upright, and when faced with the emperor's questions, not only did they not admit their guilt quickly, but they also dared to climb up the pole and brag about themselves.
As expected of treacherous ministers, these guys don't even take the new emperor seriously! What's even more hateful is that His Majesty seems to be completely unconcerned about this.
The civil officials were jealous and angry, gritting their teeth and glaring.
Shameless and reckless man!
They must have been secretly trying to curry favor with His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would have chopped them off long ago! He wouldn't have given them the chance to confuse right and wrong!
"Your Majesty! Hu Sheng dared to attack me in front of you today. He is so audacious and his crime is unforgivable!"
"Your Majesty, please severely punish Hu Sheng and others to serve as a warning to others!!"
Guan Junmao hasn’t finished taking his medicine yet.
Upon seeing this, he immediately knelt down and slandered his opponent.
"What are you yelling about, old man? His Majesty's voice isn't even as loud as yours. So, are you more capable than His Majesty?"
Guan Junmao didn't dare to admit this.
He immediately knelt and retorted, "Your Majesty is wise! My loyalty is known to all!"
He knelt on the ground sobbing and crying.
He was crying and snotting, looking so pitiful.
What a shameless guy, he just got punched a few times and then he started crying miserably in front of the new emperor!
Hu Sheng looked down on him.
He straightened his chest and said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to loyalty, no one can compare to me! Especially this old man, I'm afraid he can't even compare to my toes!"
It's an old thing and it's about toes.
These words are forbidden areas for Guan Junmao.
Now it's time to watch some fun.
Nie Yao drank some expensive tea from the palace to moisten his mouth, and then motioned Hu Sheng to kneel over and point it, otherwise the blood dripping from his clothes would splash.
Not easy to wash.
"Ahhh, you bastard! I'm going to fight you!!"
Although Guan Junmao looks mature and has very sparse hair on his head, he is indeed only twenty-seven years old.
What he hates most is people saying he is old, and what he hates most is people saying he is old over and over again.
In addition, the new emperor had no intention of making the decision for him, so Guan Junmao immediately exploded and pounced on Hu Sheng.
The two of them started to fight.
No surprise.
Guan Junmao was beaten.
Unable to scratch with his hands, he kicked like crazy. He tried desperately to seek justice for himself, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Even if he tried his best, it was of no use.
Full of resentment but unable to vent it.
Guan Junmao felt extremely desperate.
But at this moment, Hu Sheng mocked him: "You are such a weakling, yet you still want to fight with others? You should go home and drink more milk. You are like a little chicken. I am afraid that I can punch you to death."
“You, you…”
Angry and hateful.
Still feeling wronged.
Guan Junmao was shaking all over, and soon he closed his eyes and fainted.
What the hell?
Hu Sheng was puzzled. He shook his head but when he saw that Guan Junmao still had no reaction, he realized that he had gotten into trouble.
He quickly glanced at Nie Yao beside him.
Nie Yao raised his eyebrows and ignored him, bending his fingers and tapping them casually on the table twice.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
This time he kowtowed and knelt very honestly.
After hearing no sound for a while, Hu Sheng quickly looked up and glanced at Gao Wei.
But he saw that the new emperor was looking at him.
Hu Sheng quickly retracted his gaze, knelt on the ground like a civil servant, and waited for his punishment.
"My dear Minister Nie." His Majesty put down the teacup that was very similar to the one in front of Nie Yao. The precious jade cup, which was stained by the pink lips, was shining with a faint glow.
Nie Yao looked down at the teacup on his desk.
——It looks pretty good.
It must be expensive, right? If I could take it home...
"What do you think, Mr. Nie?"
Nie Yao was rarely distracted.
When he came back to his senses, everyone's eyes were on him.
Nie Yao looked ahead calmly and said calmly, "I think what Your Majesty said is correct."
"In that case, Lord Hu, please go back and pack up to prepare for departure tomorrow. Go early and return early, and don't let me down."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As punishment for knocking Guan Junmao unconscious, Hu Sheng was assigned by the new emperor to work in the south.
Hu Sheng is Nie Yao's man.
In the past, no one could be ordered around except Nie Yao, and of course no one could be ordered around.
Now that the new emperor had just ascended the throne, he sent him to the south. What was surprising was that the corrupt official, Nie Yao, who usually had to pay a lot of money to help with even the slightest thing, actually agreed so easily.
He didn't even ask the new emperor for money?
How strange!
I thought that with Nie Yao's rough and tumble style, if he met the new emperor who killed people without bloodshed, the scene would be one of chaos, with flames blazing and dangers lurking everywhere.
That’s the result?
The two men's first confrontation didn't even involve a verbal battle; it passed peacefully.
I’ve…spent…it…! ! !
This has greatly disappointed some people who planned to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight.
The banquet ended.
Many officials felt empty and uncomfortable.
"Lord Nie."
Just left the palace.
The Minister of Rites, Sun Ji, took the initiative to greet Nie Yao with a friendly smile that any ordinary person would find friendly.
Crafty old thing.
I only spoke eight words to him in the seven years we worked together.
If you take the initiative to look for him today, you must be holding back!
Nie Yao snorted in his heart.
However, his face showed the cold and indifferent demeanor of a master, looking extremely cruel and unfathomable.
"Lord Nie." As he approached, Sun Ji bowed again to show his friendship and praised him with a smile, "The banquet held by Lord Nie today was truly solemn and majestic, showing the style of royalty."
Royal style?
Is this old guy here to mock the host of the party?
Then why look for him?
It wasn't him who did it this time.
If he had the 830,000 taels of silver, he wouldn't have prepared so much meat. And there was no way he would have bought the tea and teacups, which were obviously extremely expensive.
In his opinion, he could save another 38,000 taels today.
It's all wasted!
Nie Yao: "What does Lord Sun want to say?" Just tell me!
Don't waste his time by dawdling.
"Lord Nie, what do you think of the emperor now?" Sun Ji knew something about his character, so he stopped talking and went straight to the point.
"Captain Hu fought for our dynasty, overcoming all odds and making great contributions. What happened today was not Captain Hu's fault, but Your Majesty..."
He whispered to Nie Yao.
