Chapter 773 Jian Ruocheng Dismissed from Office
When Nan Yan saw Jian Ruocheng walk up to Zhu Feng and slowly kneel down, her heart suddenly jumped up.
Jian Ruocheng...
Just now, in the chaos, Jian Ruocheng was by his side.
She also clearly felt that in the chaos, someone reached out and pushed her; and just when she was losing her balance and almost fell backwards, it seemed as if someone supported her.
However, it was so chaotic at the time and I was so scared that I couldn't see clearly who it was.
Is it him?
If it was him, then, did he push that one or support that one?
Just thinking about this, Nan Yan shook his head heavily.
What are you thinking about?
How could he suspect that Jian Ruocheng was going to push him down?
Even if, even if he had differences with Zhu Feng and himself in political views; even if, he stood in a different camp from them, but, he was still Jian Ruocheng, that upright and open-minded gentleman.
There is absolutely no way he could harm others like this!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan grasped the tassels under the curtain with her hands and said softly, "It can't be him, it definitely can't be his."
As she said this to herself, she stared at the situation on the snow.
Zhu Feng lowered his head and said a few words to him.
Some officials around, including Ye Zheng, seemed to have heard what they were saying and gathered around.
Then, they all knelt down!
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
What's wrong?
Why did everyone kneel down? What happened?
She hurried to get off the golden carriage, but Ran Xiaoyu was standing beside the carriage, guarding her. When she saw her trying to run away again, she hurriedly stopped her: "Your Majesty, don't go over there. The emperor asked you to stay in the carriage and rest."
"No, I want to go see what's going on."
Nan Yan stubbornly walked forward, and Ran Xiaoyu had no way to pull her back.
I could only hold her arm and walk over carefully.
As soon as he approached, he heard the ministers kneeling on the ground saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive Master Jian."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what happened just now was just the hungry people making trouble. It has nothing to do with Lord Jian."
"Your Majesty cannot dismiss Lord Jian from his post!"
What? !
Zhu Feng wants to dismiss Jian Ruocheng from his post?
Nan Yan panicked, but before she could even walk over, she heard Zhu Feng say coldly, "Jian Ruocheng, you know exactly what you did before; I also saw clearly what you did just now."
“…”
"Now, I don't want to say more, because I have already promised the concubine today that I will not kill anyone."
“…”
"You, return to Nanjing immediately and explain everything to the Ministry of Personnel."
“…”
"Once you have explained clearly, you will no longer be an official of the imperial court!"
Jian Ruocheng knelt on the snow, his face almost as pale as the surrounding white snow, almost transparent.
When they heard Zhu Feng's words, all the ministers around him shouted.
Nan Yan's heart sank.
What did she just hear? Zhu Feng said that he saw clearly what Jian Ruocheng had just done.
Could it be that, just now, Jian Ruocheng really—
How is that possible?!
She walked forward, panting slightly, and said, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng didn't even turn his head, but said in a deep voice: "Who asked you to come here?"
“…”
"Get back to the car immediately. Your health is important."
Nan Yan didn't dare to move forward and could only stand behind him, watching Jian Ruocheng lower his head and not look up at her. His eyes were even flickering, as if he was avoiding her gaze. The ministers around him were glaring at her angrily.
It seemed that it was he who caused Jian Ruocheng to be dismissed from office.
Nan Yan could only whisper: "Your Majesty, Master Jian—"
"My Lady!"
Zhu Feng interrupted her coldly and said, "I have already made it very clear to you just now. I will not kill anyone today, but I must punish them severely!"
“…”
Nan Yan's voice suddenly choked in her throat.
Indeed, Zhu Feng had just said these words to her, but at that time, she thought he was only referring to the starving people.
But it turns out that he was also talking about Jian Ruocheng.
At that time, he had already decided to deal with Jian Ruocheng.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. In fact, this is not a matter of revenge. The two people have different political views. Jian Ruocheng's existence is different from the past when he helped Zhu Fengchu ascend the throne. He has become an obstacle to the emperor.
Of course, the emperor had to clear away his own stumbling blocks.
But why was it Jian Ruocheng?
Why him?
Nan Yan looked at Jian Ruocheng sadly, unable to utter a word for a long time. After a long while, she heard Jian Ruocheng sigh, and then said: "Your humble servant, I am ashamed to the emperor and the imperial concubine."
“…”
"Your humble servant will return to Jinling immediately."
After saying this, he bowed down.
Then he stood up. The ministers around him wanted to catch up with him, but he had already turned around and walked to the other side, led a horse, climbed on it, and rode away.
The dust raised by the horses' hooves filled everyone's eyes.
Everyone watching this scene felt like they were dreaming.
Especially Nanyan.
It felt like a nightmare.
In the nightmare, her most trusted friend, the gentleman she admired most, Jian Ruocheng, suddenly became someone she didn't recognize, and there was even the possibility of—
Now, he's gone.
Moreover, Zhu Feng asked him to return to Nanjing to resign. Does that mean he will completely leave the court in the future?
How is that possible?
How could this happen suddenly?
What exactly went wrong?
Nan Yan stood blankly in the snow, looking at the slowly spreading snow dust. At this time, Jian Ruocheng's figure could no longer be seen.
At this time, the officials were speechless.
Even Jian Ruocheng himself has left, what else can they say.
However, these officials all came from Nanjing a while ago, and most of them were officials from the south. This time, in order to stop Zhu Feng from building the city of Beiping, everyone was united in purpose, and they also admired the youngest and most motivated Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat the most.
Unexpectedly, not long after, he was dismissed from office.
Is this the emperor's revenge?
Everyone immediately became cautious and retreated, not daring to even breathe.
At this moment, Zhu Feng turned around and walked in front of Nan Yan, blocking her sight towards the avenue, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me back!"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything.
I followed him obediently and returned to the golden carriage.
The car was naturally very warm, but perhaps because she had just been standing in the snow and her whole body was cold, when she got in the car, the shock of cold and heat made Nan Yan shiver suddenly.
Zhu Feng stared at her for a long while, then finally sighed.
Hold her in your arms.
The little girl was still trembling slightly in his arms.
"Your Majesty," she said in a trembling voice, "Lord Jian, he really—"
