"Have you found out? Why was His Majesty so furious this morning?"
Several officials privately exchanged the information they had found.
The most important thing for an official in the court is not ability, but vision and judgment.
"If my wife hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have known about it. When I got home from work today and told my wife about it, she told me about their banquet for Madam An."
"What's going on? Why is it related to Madam An again?"
"Everyone knows how much the An family enjoys His Majesty's favor. Yesterday, my wife told me that when they were entertaining Madam An, she heard Master Fu's wife badmouthing our Imperial Consort behind his back. Madam An even went to the palace that day, and the next day, Master Fu was in trouble. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
"Hiss, it's actually his family who's seeking death! I was wondering why His Majesty suddenly started a killing spree again."
So this is to support Jiang, An Jingzhi, and the An family, and to make an example of them?
Has Master Fu been implicated by his own wife? The saying that a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband is truly true.
…
"I heard that you lost your temper in the court and punished a group of officials?"
After leaving the court, Yan Su changed into a light-colored brocade, which made her look less fierce and more calm. "You are quite well-informed."
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "My mother came here today, and she came to thank you, but you were busy and left first. The plate of cakes in front of you was made by my mother herself to thank you."
As soon as Jiang returned, she heard her husband talking about what happened in the court today. She immediately realized that Yan Su was venting his anger for her and her son.
She was still a little worried that her affairs would make things difficult for Yan Su.
After all, although the emperor is the most powerful, he cannot execute officials at will, right?
Father An comforted her and explained Master Fu's crimes. Jiang was finally relieved and brought the snacks she had made and went to the palace in person. She waited and waited, but Yan Su was still processing the memorials. Seeing that it was getting late, she had no choice but to go back.
Yan Su stretched out her white jade hand, gently picked up a piece of cake with two fingers, and took a small bite.
Ever since she said she loved that pastry, Jiang would often make it and send it in, but today there was one more variety, a soft and fluffy light yellow pastry.
She finished the cake in her hand and pointed at the pale yellow cake next to it and asked, "What is this? I've never seen it before. Did my mother make it?"
"I asked the royal chef to make this. My mother has already thanked you, so I can't just sit there and do nothing, right? Let's try it and see how it tastes."
Yan Su's eyes softened a little, and she picked up the yellow pastry with her bare hands.
An Jingzhi looked at the other person expectantly.
“Soft and sweet.”
An Jingzhi was in a good mood after hearing this, "As long as you like it, it's called cake."
"Cake? A cake made with eggs?"
An Jingzhi burst into laughter. "That's right. The Empress is indeed smart."
Yan Su had a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't know what the other person was laughing at.
The two of them simply ate a few cakes and began to eat.
After finishing his meal, An Jingzhi said, "You don't have to be like this. I'm not angry and I don't care what others say. They're just jealous that I'm the only one who can win the favor of the Empress."
When talking about the word "grace", An Jingzhi deliberately emphasized it.
Yan Su looked a little unnatural, her ears slightly red. She raised her slender arm, picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.
"Do you really not mind what others say? I know your previous ambition was to realize your ambitions and revive the An family. Now you can only stay in the harem. Do you really have no resentment?" Yan Su's heart sank as he spoke.
"What's the big deal? What do people say? Can I lose a piece of meat? And no one dares to say it to my face. If I hear it, they will definitely suffer the consequences."
"As for realizing my ambitions, I can now do so in the palace, and it's even more convenient."
"I can see most of your memorials. If there's anything I can advise you directly, isn't that much easier than being an official in the court?"
"Does the An family still need to be revived? Isn't it already unrivaled?"
Yan Su was deeply touched after hearing this. An Jingzhi was willing to trust her so much and entrust the prosperity and wealth of the An family to her.
Since ancient times, the emperor's favor is the most elusive, which is a deeply rooted view among the people.
An Jingzhi's trust made Yan Su feel very warm in her heart. She was sure that there would only be one person in her life, but her status was different after all, so she had no regrets to be entrusted with such a trust by the other party.
"As long as I am in power, no one will dare to offend the dignity of the An family." Yan Su promised with a serious look and a solemn expression.
An Jingzhi thought to himself that he had really become the cause of trouble for his beloved man.
"You don't have to worry too much about me. If all the ministers in the court are killed, who will do the work?"
Yan Su showed contempt and said, "At least half of the officials in the court are just sitting there doing nothing but eating and drinking. If I had not been on the throne for long, I would have replaced them long ago." When the special examination is held next year, a group of useful talents can be selected.
"I've only moved a few people now, just to give them a warning. If they dare to act recklessly again, don't blame me for chopping off their claws."
"That Lord Fu has been an official in the court for over a decade. Not only has he seized fertile land, he has also allowed his relatives to bully the people. Even his servants have acted recklessly, bringing disaster to the village. They deserve no pity for their death."
"I killed him first to give you some vent, but also to give those people a warning. I want them to live in fear every day."
Even I came out, which shows that group of people did a lot of things.
An Jingzhi chatted with Yan Su for a while and then asked about another matter.
"How are the preparations on the border?"
"General Chen is a man devoted to his country. He is rigorous in his work and will definitely carry out my orders to the end."
"That's great." Finally, I can get some revenge.
After Rongguo has been tricked, there is no need for Qin Xueyuan to stay any longer.
Not to mention his plot against the original body, he didn't expect the other party to send someone to assassinate them.
…
"Report! Enemy traces found thirty miles ahead!"
"Explore again."
General Chen finished his training in the military camp and stood on the city wall, looking at the yellow sand in the distance.
"General Fang, are you ready?"
General Fang bowed and saluted, "General Chen, don't worry. All the rotations are underway. We have ambushed all the replacements. Once Rong Jun arrives, we will make sure they never return!"
After hearing this, General Chen was overjoyed and slammed his hand hard on the city wall.
"good!"
He remembered that he had joined the army when he was young, and now he was at the age of knowing the destiny of the world. Next year he would be sixty years old. If everything went well this time, he would be able to retire peacefully and return to Yandu to retire.
