Chapter 439 They Bully You
Nan Yan looked at him carefully, afraid that he would get angry again.
But Zhu Feng just looked at her calmly, with a smile on his face, and said, "I want to appoint people based on their merits."
“…”
"But this 'person'...had better be 'one of our own'."
“…”
"Do you understand what I mean?"
When Nan Yan heard the words "one of our own", she suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had come to her senses.
"emperor……"
Zhu Feng pinched her fingertips and said calmly, "Although I have ascended the throne as emperor, you have always been by my side and witnessed everything that happened during the early days of my reign."
“…”
"I have accepted all of these officials, but some of them are still loyal to the old emperor. They serve me in public, but secretly disobey me."
“…”
"I have listened to your advice and decided not to be a tyrant. I have not killed all these people."
“…”
"But what I want to do cannot be put on hold because of them."
“…”
"So, the only way is to replace these people with my own people."
Nan Yan said softly, "I understand, slave girl."
Zhu Feng then sighed softly and said, "However, I have only been on the throne for a short time, and I haven't yet fully trained the people I need to replace these stubborn and conservative ministers. I can only think of a solution with the people around me first."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
This is why he would make an exception and promote a group of young officials like Jian Ruocheng, and also make use of people like Wu Wan's father and brother.
Nan Yan was silent for a while before she spoke softly, "So, the Emperor wants to promote my family?"
Zhu Feng glared at her again and said, "It's because you're useless!"
“…”
Nan Yan pouted slightly.
He is useless, with no power or status in the harem, but isn't this also because he has deprived himself of his status and made him a slave?
How dare you say that?
Of course, this kind of complaint can only be thought about in the mind.
However, Zhu Feng's eyes were like a mirror, and he naturally saw the resentment in her eyes, but he didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I know that you and your family are not on good terms. So, although I have this plan, I didn't do it immediately."
“…”
"If it's just children who are ignorant, it's okay to have one or two fights when they are young."
“…”
"But if they bully you, I won't be so easy to deal with."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Having had a difficult childhood, she certainly knew that Gu Tingchun and her children had been bullying her, but those days were already in the past, and she didn't want to think about it too much.
But Zhu Feng kept thinking about it.
A warm smile appeared on her face, and Zhu Feng looked at her: "Hmm?"
Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, they treated me badly. These things are all in the past."
“…”
"I no longer blame them."
Zhu Feng frowned: "Why?"
Nan Yan chuckled and said, "Because, if it weren't for them, this servant wouldn't have had the chance to enter the palace and meet the emperor."
“…”
Zhu Feng was slightly stunned.
What she meant was that even though she had suffered such hardships, as long as she could meet herself, she would be happy with it.
…
This, silly girl!
He only felt a warm current surging in his heart, almost bursting out of his chest.
I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.
“You!”
He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
