"How come he agreed so easily?"
Not long after Zhao Ji left, the emperor asked the young eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch smiled and said, "If the emperor's mind is strong enough, then I'm afraid that even the regent can't change it. After all, you are the emperor of this dynasty!"
To a certain extent, these words also made the emperor feel very comfortable.
"That's right, I am the real person in charge of this country!"
The emperor was very submissive after being comforted by the young eunuch.
For a moment, other thoughts in his mind also grew wildly.
Speaking of which, the emperor is the youngest son of the late emperor and is not very old.
He had always been isolated in his own world, and later he finally wanted to get involved in government affairs, but he didn't have the ability to do it well. He was always compared with the ministers and the regent.
Some time ago, he finally found a confidant and wanted to train him, but was slapped in the face by Zhao Ji, who proved that the confidant was just a corrupt court parasite.
This blow did make the emperor somewhat discouraged. But now that he finally had a new eunuch who was willing to encourage him, he felt as if he had been reborn.
The emperor, in a good mood, decided to take a stroll in the Imperial Garden.
After all, after he became the emperor, he first shut himself off for a while, and then became busy with all kinds of things, and had not really experienced the scenery of the harem.
While looking at the beautiful imperial garden, the emperor suddenly felt like he was looking down on the world.
"This world belongs to me..." The emperor muttered in a low voice at first, and the eunuch next to him was closest to him so he naturally heard it.
The little eunuch lowered his head, an extremely cold smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was exceptionally gentle, with a hint of inducement.
"It's the Emperor!" The little eunuch's voice was even firmer than the Emperor's just now.
The emperor received recognition from others, and the light in his eyes was even brighter than before.
"Xiao Xia Zi, it turns out that you are the only one who understands me the best! Reward!" The young emperor was going crazy in the imperial garden, but he didn't know that the young eunuch beside him was also dismissive of his reward.
But the superficial work must always be done well.
"Your servant thanks His Majesty!" Xiao Xia Zi flattered from the side.
Because of this, the emperor became more and more fond of Xiao Xia Zi. Often in the imperial study, other servants could leave, but the emperor specifically asked Xiao Xia Zi to stay.
Zhao Ji also gradually realized that this little eunuch made him feel uncomfortable.
It was just a short while ago, and no news was found over there.
The main reason was that Xiao Xiazi was a member of the palace. And according to Qiu Feng, Xiao Xiazi's resume and records before entering the palace were flawless. It was as if this person was clean and had no flaws at all.
However, the more this happened, the less Zhao Ji believed that Xiao Xia Zi was a clean person.
For those ministers in the court who were unaware of the situation, they could only see that the emperor had become more and more confident during this period.
Many times, many decisions are made more decisively than before.
This made some loyal people firmly become royalists.
The wind direction in the court changed again, but Zhao Ji did not intervene this time.
Even Zhao Ji acquiesced.
This led to many people in the court not understanding what Zhao Ji was intending to do for a while.
During a holiday, General Tian, who had always admired Zhao Ji very much in the court, invited Zhao Ji to a table of wine in a restaurant.
When Zhao Ji went to the town, he rescued General Tian from the hands of the third prince and the prime minister, and sent him back to the capital overnight so that General Tian could receive treatment from the imperial physician.
Fortunately, it was this decision that saved General Tian's life.
However, during his serious injury, it was inevitable that the military power in his hands would be divided away by others.
Zhao Ji originally thought that General Tian came to him for this matter.
Unexpectedly, after three rounds of drinks.
General Tian raised his big hand, picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.
Just like alcohol gives a coward courage.
"When will you rebel, sir?" General Tian said this with a red face.
This restaurant was originally Zhao Ji's property. General Tian knew this, so he invited Zhao Ji here.
Zhao Ji didn't understand what General Tian meant at first: "What do you mean by return? I'm drinking with you today, so I have to return home later!"
General Tian shook his head and said, "If it weren't for your contribution, there wouldn't be the current prosperous era. But now this credit is about to be taken away by someone else. Is your Excellency really not upset at all?"
Only then did Zhao Ji suddenly realize that what General Tian had said before was actually asking him when he would rebel?
This surprised Zhao Ji a little. In his opinion, General Tian was a very loyal and patriotic person in the entire court. It was hard to imagine that such a person was hoping for him to rebel.
Soon, Zhao Ji's face darkened: "General Tian, you have said something wrong. Today I will just pretend that I have never heard what you said. I also hope that you can be careful with your words and actions. There are some things that cannot be said!"
General Tian smiled bitterly twice.
"I came to see you today just for this matter. It's not because I was drunk, but I know that it takes some courage to say such a thing!"
"I just can't stand it. Now they treat you like this... When the disaster happened, it was you, Your Majesty, who rushed to the front and even stood in front of the people. What did the people sitting in the seat do?"
"Those people have only been bullying the court during your absence. I don't understand why they can turn a blind eye to the suffering of those below! If these people are allowed to sit in such a position, how can they bring true blessings to those below?"
General Tian became more and more excited as he spoke.
He himself came from a poor family. Before he met Zhao Ji, although he had made great military achievements in the army, all the credit was snatched away by the sons of nobles who were above him.
The end of all efforts is just a deputy general.
If Zhao Ji had not brought him out and returned all the credit that originally belonged to him to him, I am afraid that now, General Tian would still be the deputy general who could not make a name for himself in the military camp.
General Tian is a grateful man, so today he stood here and took the initiative to say these words to Zhao Ji.
After hearing these words, Zhao Ji finally just sighed: "I know that General Tian, you are doing this for my own good and are really considering me, but some things are not as simple as you think. If the superiors keep changing, it will not be a good thing for the people!"
Hearing what Zhao Ji said, the moved expression on General Tian's face became more obvious. At the same time, he took another sip of wine and sighed deeply: "If most of the people in the court were like the prince, then we wouldn't be so disappointed!"
After saying this, General Tian did not say anything else until the end of the game.
