Chapter 440 Let Me Vent for You
Nan Yan threw herself into his arms.
In his arms, there was a strong scent and smell that belonged to him, which made people feel at ease. Nan Yan took a deep breath and buried her flushed face in his warm arms.
The two of them hugged each other tightly.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yan finally raised her head from his arms and said softly, "Your Majesty, if you want to use my family... you don't have to worry about me."
"Um?"
"Their goodness or badness is only in the eyes of the servants. But if they are useful to the emperor's cause, there is no harm in using them."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked into her clear eyes and said with a smile, "Don't you want me to vent your anger for you?"
Nan Yan shook her head and said seriously: "I am living a good life now, so I don't think about those bad things."
Zhu Feng rubbed her hair and smiled.
But he didn't say anything.
She could not care, but he had no way of not caring.
Although he had thought of using someone from her family a long time ago, after all, Si Boyan, Marquis of Bowang, and Si Zhongwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, were well-known, and the children of the Si family should not be too bad.
However, when he thought of what Nan Yan once said, that she was bullied by them when she was a child, he felt uncomfortable.
Even if the child is ignorant, he will feel uncomfortable.
This girl, it’s enough for him to bully her alone.
Others can’t!
At this time, Nan Yan added: "However, if they are truly incompetent and without virtue, Your Majesty must not employ them."
Zhu Feng said, "Of course. When I employ people, I have to make sure they are useful to me."
“…”
"Right now, what I lack most are people who can manage the construction projects and people who are familiar with the conditions in neighboring countries and can help me reopen the gates to the Western Regions."
Nan Yan listened and felt something in her heart.
Being familiar with the situation of neighboring countries, we can reopen the door to the Western Regions.
Aren’t these the same talented people as my father and uncle?
Nan Yan looked up at him and asked, "Your Majesty wants to open the gate to the Western Regions. What does he want to do?"
Zhu Feng stroked her hair with one hand and said slowly, "If Yan Nation wants to be strong, it must open its doors and exchange what it has with its neighboring countries. More importantly, I want to see what the world looks like outside of Yan Nation."
“…”
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "But the ancestral system established by Emperor Gao seems to be—"
"That's right," Zhu Feng said calmly, "Emperor Gao originally only interacted with the Western Regions because he needed to borrow troops, but what he really wanted to do was close the country's borders and make everyone stay at home and do their own work."
“…”
"Although the Emperor Gao is wise and powerful, I feel that the ancestral system he established is incompatible with the current situation. I want to change it."
Nan Yan said softly, "The ministers are pretending to obey the emperor but secretly disobeying him."
Zhu Feng's eyes turned gloomy.
Nan Yan even felt that the aura around him suddenly took on a bone-chilling chill. He said coldly, "So, I want to replace them."
“…”
"If it can be replaced, then everything will be fine. But if it can't be replaced——"
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes, fearing that he would say in the next moment that he wanted to kill all these people.
However, Zhu Feng did not say so.
After looking down at her, especially after sensing the shrinking in her eyes, Zhu Feng sighed softly and said, "I will change it to something else."
“……?”
Nan Yan's heart moved.
Change to something else?
What to change?
Changing court officials is difficult enough, what else does he want to change?
