Chapter 449 Can't Let Go
"Gui Xi." Emperor Kang Yuan looked at Miao Qian coldly, then turned and gestured to the eunuch standing beside him.
Guixi responded quickly, took a flat box from the eunuch beside him, and placed it respectfully on the dragon table in front of Emperor Kang Yuan.
"Take a look for yourself." Emperor Kang Yuan sneered and casually threw the flat box in front of Miao Qian.
Miao Qian looked at the square flat box in surprise and doubt. For some reason, his hands were shaking, but since Emperor Kang Yuan had given the order, he dared not disobey, so he picked up the square flat box and opened it.
When Miao Qian saw what was in the flat box, his expression changed drastically. He threw the box aside as if burned, and kowtowed frantically to Emperor Kang Yuan: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Emperor Kang Yuan snorted coldly, "I have just ascended the throne, so I will grant amnesty to the entire nation. Allowing you to be the county magistrate is already a great favor beyond the law. I believe I have treated you well, but you are so unsatisfied. Since this is the case..."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Miao Qian kowtowed and said, "I am content, I am content. I will obey Your Majesty's instructions and be a good county magistrate."
"Hmph, it's too late." Emperor Kang Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Cabinet scholar Miao Qian colluded with the former crown prince and attempted to commit a crime. He has been imprisoned and awaits his sentence. Come, take him away."
"yes."
Then the guards entered the hall and wanted to capture Miao Qian.
Miao Qian struggled and said, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again, Your Majesty."
Emperor Kang Yuan didn't say anything, so Gui Xi said quickly, "Hurry up and gag him and take him away."
Before Miao Qian could say anything, the guards quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Hearing the whimpering sound of Miao Qian's struggle getting farther and farther away, all the officials looked at each other silently, lowered their heads and said nothing. The methods of this new emperor were much more brutal than they had imagined.
Suddenly, some officials who had some ulterior motives put aside their thoughts.
Emperor Kang Yuan sat on the dragon throne, looking down at his ministers without saying a word. For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
After a while, Emperor Kang Yuan looked at Gui Xi, who understood. He stepped forward, waved his whisk, and said, "If you have anything to say, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court."
After dismissing the morning court, Emperor Kang Yuan returned to the Qinzheng Hall.
When the dynasty was first established, there were many things to deal with.
Guixi was about to move the memorials when a young eunuch whispered in his ear. Guixi quickly turned and said to Emperor Kang Yuan, "Your Majesty, the Third Young Master Ji is here."
"Oh?" Emperor Kang Yuan said hurriedly, "Let him in."
Ji Huaixuan entered the Qinzheng Hall and kowtowed to Emperor Kang Yuan, saying, "I, Ji Huaixuan, greet Your Majesty."
"Alright, there's no need for all this empty formalities between us." Seeing Ji Huaixuan, Emperor Kang Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't you get up quickly and let me help you?"
"Hehe." Ji Huaixuan chuckled, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me."
Emperor Kang Yuan smiled and glared at Ji Huaixuan, then ordered Gui Xi, "Prepare some refreshments and send them to the side hall. Also, bring a jar of the green plum wine that the second young lady from the Yuan family sent the other day."
"yes."
Emperor Kang Yuan stood up, walked up to Ji Huaixuan, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "That's perfect, have a drink with me, and we can chat."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"There's no need for us to be so reserved in private. Let's just be like before." Emperor Kang Yuan said with a smile.
Ji Huaixuan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be allowed. If I call you by your name and my father finds out, he will definitely beat me to a pulp. Your Majesty, please spare me."
Emperor Kang Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Master Ji is good in every way, except that he is too rigid."
"That's right." Ji Huaixuan pursed his lips and nodded in agreement. "Honestly, I get a headache whenever I see my dad. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he sees me, he always scolds me, saying that I'm not motivated. Tell me, why am I not motivated? I don't know how well my restaurants and shops are doing."
"Grand Secretary Ji still hopes that you will pursue a career in officialdom." Emperor Kang Yuan said with a smile.
Ji Huaixuan shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it, I still feel more comfortable with silver."
"You are greedy for money." Emperor Kang Yuan glared at Ji Huaixuan with a smile.
At this time, Guixi brought tea and green plum wine, poured a cup for Emperor Kangyuan and Ji Huaixuan, then bowed and left. He knew that although the Third Master Ji did not hold an official position, he was the one most favored by the emperor.
Ji Huaixuan picked up a piece of crystal cake, took a bite, and said with a smile: "This is the crystal rose cake from Xunxiangzhai."
Emperor Kang Yuan smiled but said nothing.
Ji Huaixuan finished the crystal cake in two bites, took a sip of green plum wine, and sighed, "That kid Huo Xifei is really lucky."
"Yes." Emperor Kang Yuan took a sip of the green plum wine, the slightly sour green plum wine filling his mouth, just like his somewhat sour mood: "Huo Xifei is a blessed person."
"Your Majesty, if you really can't let go of Miss Yuan Er, why not..." Ji Huaixuan looked at Emperor Kang Yuan's somewhat melancholy expression, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice.
"Huaixuan, don't mention these things anymore." Emperor Kang Yuan naturally understood what Ji Huaixuan meant and glanced at him. "You will be a relative of the Yuan family in the future. Be careful that your brother-in-law will find out and beat you up."
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't mention it." Ji Huaixuan said quickly after hearing this: "I just see that you are suffering too much. Look at your harem. Has there ever been an emperor like you who doesn't have a single concubine in the harem? If this continues, even if the empress dowager and others don't say anything, those censors will submit a memorial."
"Let's talk about it later. Let's make plans after two years when things are more stable." Emperor Kang Yuan said lightly.
"After all, you still can't let go of Miss Yuan Er." Ji Huaixuan said with a pout.
Emperor Kang Yuan glanced at Ji Huaixuan indifferently, and Ji Huaixuan quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."
After saying that, he muttered in a low voice: "I finally understand now. You became the emperor in the first place just to protect Miss Yuan Er."
"Still talking." Emperor Kang Yuan picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Ji Huaixuan's mouth: "Eating can't stop your mouth."
Ji Huaixuan was not paying attention and had a mouthful of cake stuffed in it. He almost choked to death. He quickly drank two sips of green plum wine. After swallowing the food, he screamed: "Oh my god, Shaoqing, you are trying to murder my brother!"
Outside the side hall, Guixi couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard Ji Huaixuan's words. He guessed that only the Third Young Master Ji dared to shout at the emperor like this and would not be punished by the emperor.
However, when Guixi heard the smiling voice of Emperor Kang Yuan from behind, he couldn't help but smile. This was also good. With the Third Master Ji, at least the emperor would be in a better mood.
God knows, these days, the emperor has been busy with nothing but morning court and reviewing memorials. He is like a top every day. He is worried that if he continues like this, the emperor will collapse from exhaustion.
Fortunately, there is still the Third Master Ji.
