Zhao Ji was eating melon on the side and was enjoying it, but the emperor was no longer concerned about anything else and saw Zhao Ji laughing secretly.

Without saying anything, he planned to drag Zhao Ji into the battle.

"What does the Regent think about this matter?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "I think this matter is not impossible to consider. After all, from the perspective of age, the emperor does need it. But if the emperor has other considerations, we can discuss it separately!"

Anyway, Zhao Ji just said a lot of things, which were understandable, but also felt like nonsense without any information.

The ball was kicked back to the emperor again.

The emperor wailed in his heart, but he also knew that he might have to compromise on this matter!

"Let's discuss this matter later. Give me some time to buffer. After all, I have never thought about this matter before. If I want to reconsider it, I really need to think about it carefully!"

There was really no other way, the emperor could only resort to the tactic of procrastination.

When the ministers saw that the emperor had given in, they stopped biting him as they had done before.

This was also the first time that the emperor witnessed the power of these court officials working together.

It was at this moment that the emperor finally understood why there was a concept of checks and balances in the mind of an emperor.

Because if these court officials were allowed to become unexpectedly united, then those in power would have no say at all.

This is not surprising, as almost every emperor would assist two forces at the same time to check and balance each other.

If it were an ordinary emperor, he would have received education from the previous emperor. It's a pity that the current emperor does not have such treatment.

After all, he was not the candidate for crown prince that the late emperor favored at that time.

This led to him not knowing what to do until he fell.

Zhao Ji watched the show leisurely, but he didn't want to be called by the emperor to leave the court again, so he quickly slipped away.

However, the unexpected unity of these ministers today still made Zhao Ji a little more vigilant.

Although some gold, silver and treasures were taken away from these court officials, they were just small things after all.

Zhao Ji was well aware of how greedy these court officials were on a daily basis.

Especially since he had been away from the court for about a month.

I am afraid that without checks and balances on these ministers, things might go too far.

Logically speaking, one would not go against the emperor so blatantly for such a small amount of money.

So Zhao Ji felt that there must be something fishy going on.

Zhao Ji sent his people out to find out the whole story of the matter.

Speaking of which, the current emperor is indeed like a puppet emperor. His every word, action and even movement are actually within Zhao Ji's expectations.

Even if there are occasional deviations, they probably cannot escape those aspects.

Originally, Zhao Ji had no intention of holding on to power forever.

But now it seems that I am just being pushed around.

If Zhao Ji did not hold power in his hands now, then I'm afraid that the first person the emperor would want to get rid of would be Zhao Ji.

So everything Zhao Ji is doing now is just to protect himself.

But he didn't expect that by protecting himself he would end up becoming the most powerful official in the Celestial Empire today!

For Zhao Ji, there is nothing wrong with this.

In fact, Zhao Ji naturally has some forces in his hands that the emperor is completely unaware of.

For example, those sent out now are all spies carefully selected by Zhao Ji.

Each of these spies has their own strengths. In short, if Zhao Ji wants any information, these spies will do their best to get it!

It's just that the time it takes is different.

As for the Emperor, he is now really starting to have a headache about the selection of candidates.

As for the emperor, he naturally didn't want to do this.

Especially among these ministers, each of them is very opinionated and has an almost coercive attitude.

This made the emperor feel very uncomfortable.

"These people are forcing me so hard. Have they forgotten that I am the master of this world?"

The emperor returned to his bedroom and became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He was so angry that he smashed the things on the table.

I became a desktop cleaning master.

The emperor's eunuch standing by didn't say anything, but just quietly packed up these things and took them away.

This will prevent the emperor from getting hurt by these things when he gets emotional.

The emperor looked at the eunuchs and palace maids coming and going, and the disappointment on his face became even more severe.

In the eyes of the emperor, there was not a single worthy person among these people. When he was so sad and even angry, there was not even a single person he could talk to.

This indeed made the emperor feel the loneliness of being in a high position.

"Forget it, you guys can just leave!" Because the emperor could not get any nutritious emotional value from these people, he became tired for a while.

When all the eunuchs were slowly retreating, there was one eunuch who did not move. The emperor took a look and found that the eunuch's face seemed to be new.

"Why don't you step down? Is there any task you haven't completed?" the emperor asked with a gloomy face!

But he never expected that the eunuch sighed deeply and knelt on the ground: "The reason why the stewed vegetables did not leave is because I know that the emperor cannot be alone at this time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's expression suddenly became gloomy.

The emperor hesitated for a moment and then shouted, "How dare you!"

"When did it become your turn to speculate on the emperor's will?" After the emperor said this, he stared at the eunuch.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch said nothing, but just quietly took a cup of tea from the side and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor didn't take it, but the eunuch didn't put it down either.

"I know that the emperor was tricked by those old foxes in the court today, so he is naturally a little unhappy!"

"Your Majesty has only been the emperor for a short time, so there must be some things that he has not thought through clearly. The reason why I stayed here is because I understand that Your Majesty will definitely need some of his own people at this time, so I am willing to be the dirtiest and sharpest knife in the hand of Your Majesty!"

The emperor stared at the servant quietly. To be honest, this little eunuch looked unfamiliar and his appearance was not the kind that could be remembered at first sight.

But the emperor knew very well that the more insignificant a person was, the more painful it would be if he was suddenly picked up and stabbed.

"I hope you can remember every word you said today. If you want to gain power and other things from me, then you should know what you should pay!"

When the eunuch heard the emperor say this, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and the sound of his forehead hitting the ground echoed throughout the hall.

"The servant must know!"

"From now on, I will be loyal to the emperor and die for him!"
