If such ruthless characters who kill without shedding blood are considered incompetent rulers, then there are truly not many wise monarchs in the world.
Xuejian's heart was surging with emotion, her chest heaving, and her beautiful eyes reddened. She knew that His Majesty had truly turned over a new leaf!
She finally has the opportunity to fulfill the important task her master left her in his will!
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you on eliminating a great scourge! Your Majesty truly is a man of few words, but when you do act, it is with thunderous force."
Li Geng and the others following behind Qin Yu were filled with admiration. They had a great time in the prison, venting all the pent-up frustration they had suffered at the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Jia Zhengjin over the years. It felt so good!
"Your Majesty, there is one more matter. Do you have a candidate for the position of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
The position of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was indeed very important. The entire Embroidered Uniform Guard was originally supposed to be the royal guards, but in the end, it became a knife in the hands of foreign officials, specifically used to deal with the emperor!
Isn't this a joke? Therefore, the Embroidered Uniform Guard must be kept under our control no matter what.
Xuejian's words served as a wake-up call for Qin Yu. This intelligence agency, which had been a force to be reckoned with in various films and television dramas in his previous life, was now treated worse than a dog in his hands. It was simply too much.
"That makes sense, but this position is not for just anyone. After much thought, I can only trust you!"
He slapped Li Geng on the shoulder, leaving Li Geng frozen in place. Then he pointed to his nose and said...
"Huh? Who? Me?"
His bewildered expression made Qin Yu feel a pang of worry.
Xuejian, who was standing to the side, kicked him in annoyance.
"What are you 'oh'ing for? Hurry up and thank the emperor!"
Only then did Li Geng realize what was happening, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I will certainly become your sword and pawn. Just give the order, and I, Li Geng, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Qin Yu was very satisfied with these words of loyalty. The man in front of him was definitely loyal enough. Although he was a bit reckless, his abilities and skills could be cultivated over time.
In this dangerous situation where he is surrounded by wolves, his criteria for hiring people can be summed up in two words: loyalty!
Meanwhile, at the Sima residence, Zhang Shichang, a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was summoned by Sima Lie.
He was incredibly excited along the way. Now everyone in the court knew that the Jia family father and son had completely fallen from power. As for why he, a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was being summoned to do this at this time, it was obviously to take over the position!
The thought of soaring to the top and becoming the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was incredibly tempting; it would be strange if he wasn't happy!
“Zhang Shichang, you are a smart man, you should know very well why you have come to see me today.”
Upon seeing Sima Lie, Zhang Shichang immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice trembling as he spoke.
"Your Excellency, from this day forward, I will follow your lead without question!"
Sima Lie was extremely pleased with the words of loyalty, and Zhang Shichang seemed to see the wonderful prospect of becoming the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and bringing prosperity to his entire family and friends.
Women, money, and power—these things will all become readily available in the future.
But just as the entire Sima mansion was in a state of jubilation, a piece of news shattered Zhang Shichang's illusions.
"What? You're saying that tyrannical emperor has already issued the decree?"
Looking at his subordinate who had come to deliver the message with disbelief, Sima Lie stood up angrily and cursed.
"Damn it! Who is this Li Geng? How dare he sit in the position of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shichang, who had just gotten his hands on something, immediately began to curse angrily.
"It must be that bitch Xuejian! She seduced His Majesty and then planted her own people in his ranks. Damn it, what a filthy bitch."
At the Prime Minister's residence, having experienced great ups and downs, Zhang Shichang completely lost his composure.
Qiu Beiming, standing to the side, slowly shook his head, his old face, covered in scars, turning extremely gloomy.
"A woman like Xuejian is simple-minded and only knows blind loyalty. There is no way she could do such a thing. She is cold-blooded and ruthless. Apart from killing, she has no complicated schemes and no ability to compete with us for power. If she had such ambition and ability, she would probably have been the highest-ranking military officer in the entire palace on the night her master passed away!"
Upon hearing this, Sima Lie suddenly thought of someone nearby, and said with a sinister look in his triangular eyes.
"Could it be that the tyrant's own idea? Has he been toying with us all along?"
Upon hearing this idea, Sima Lie and Qiu Beiming's expressions immediately changed!
"No, we must test him carefully. If it really is that tyrant's own idea, then it means he has been putting on an act all along, secretly winning over people and controlling the military! If this tyrant dares to be dishonest, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Guards! Heed my command..."
Qin Yu was unaware that his decision had aroused Sima Lie's suspicion, and at that moment he was heading excitedly toward the Empress's palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't go in, the Empress..."
Before the maid at the door could finish speaking, she was roughly pushed aside by Li Geng and his entourage who were following behind her.
Qin Yu approached the window quietly and carefully poked a hole in it, peering inside.
They immediately saw Zhao Lan, dressed in eunuch attire, changing his clothes.
Good, good, I've caught them red-handed!
Qin Yu smiled slightly, then kicked the door open. Zhao Lan, who had no time to dodge, was exposed to Qin Yu's naked body.
"What...what are you going to do!"
Before she could do anything, Qin Yu rushed towards her. In desperation, Zhao Lan raised her long, beautiful leg to kick Qin Yu.
But Qin Yu was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he became even more excited when he saw the long, white legs sweeping towards him!
With a wicked grin, he immediately executed a skillful grappling move!
With a large hand, Qin Yu grabbed Zhao Lan's long, beautiful legs and leaned forward, directly embracing her and pressing her soft, delicate body against the wall.
"Ouch! It hurts..."
Zhao Lan immediately let out a shameful scream.
Such an embarrassing pose, with her long, slender legs raised high, her whole body in a split position...
Such humiliation is worse than killing Zhao Lan.
What she found even more unbearable was that Qin Yu had already freed up his other hot hand, which was now wandering around restlessly, slowly probing towards the bottom lane. This precarious situation instantly enraged Xiu.
"You tyrant! Let me go! If you dare take another step, I will..."
"Huh? What is it?!"
"Ouch! It hurts! No..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu sneered and lifted Mei T even harder!
The beauty's face turned bright red with pain, and she screamed incoherently.
