Chapter 487 Waiting for You to Come Back
After he finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue collapsed on the ground, no longer having any strength left.
Soon, two eunuchs came over and dragged him away.
But he kept struggling.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to show some mercy, Your Majesty—"
Seeing that Chen Hechuan had no reaction, he turned his attention to Jiang Chongfan.
"Master Jiang, help me, Master Jiang!"
"I didn't prepare because I listened to you. You have to save me!"
Jiang Chongfan knelt there without even moving.
Still saving him?
Now he can't even protect himself.
Only after the Minister of Revenue was dragged out did Shen Hechuan look around before continuing to speak.
"The Empress has a unique vision and is decisive in her actions. She is a natural-born emperor."
"Now, my dear ministers, if anyone has any opinions or dissatisfaction, please raise them now!"
The entire hall was silent, and no one dared to speak at this time.
"Oh--"
At this time, Old Master Wang suddenly spoke.
His voice was somewhat vicissitudes of life.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Jiang just said that.
If the ruler of Da Qi insists on attacking Da Cheng at this time, Lord Jiang is willing to sacrifice his own life to accompany the people in their burial, and kowtow three times to the Empress in front of all the officials to apologize to her."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Chongfan.
He stood there woodenly, his head lowered, his eyes filled with hatred.
Da Qi actually attacked Dacheng!
How is this possible?
Is the monarch of Da Qi a fool?
Why do we have to fight at this critical juncture?
Shouldn't they want to recuperate first?
Jiang Chongfan couldn't figure it out.
And now, no matter whether he figured it out or not, there was one thing he had to do.
That means I must apologize to Gu Jingchun now.
He looked up at Gu Jingchun who was standing high above him, then slowly stood up.
"Empress, you foresaw the situation like a god and dispatched troops to the border in advance, saving thousands of people in Dacheng. This is a blessing for us Dacheng.
"Before, I was narrow-minded and almost made a big mistake. I hope the Queen will forgive me!"
As Jiang Chongfan spoke, he knelt down again.
He actually kowtowed three times to Gu Jingchun.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun also walked down slowly and helped Jiang Chongfan up with his own hands.
"Lord Jiang, you are too kind."
"After all, Lord Jiang is also doing this for our own good."
Gu Jingchun had a smile on his face.
"Our great achievements require officials like you who truly serve the people in order to maintain the stability of the court."
When Jiang Chongfan heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.
"This old minister...this old minister feels ashamed towards the Empress!"
"I am ashamed!"
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face again.
At this time, Old Master Wang spoke again.
"Master Jiang, you may cry, but don't forget that you just said you would die to atone for your sins."
When Jiang Chongfan heard this, he could no longer hold back and gave Old Master Wang a fierce look before speaking:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this old minister's words are as good as gold. Since I have promised to die as an apology, then I will take this life.
I, this old minister, am here to let all the officials see clearly my loyalty to you and Your Majesty!"
As he said this, he made a gesture as if he was going to hit the pillar.
Gu Jingchun quickly stopped him.
She also raised her voice.
"Lord Jiang, I have no interest in your life. If you truly wish to help us achieve greater success, then please spare your life and assist His Majesty."
This means that Jiang Chongfan was let off directly.
Jiang Chongfan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with emotion.
"From now on, I, this old minister, will assist Your Majesty and the Empress even more diligently."
The two of them had their own ulterior motives and staged a good show in the court, which successfully demonstrated Gu Jingchun's tolerance and broad-mindedness, and left her with a reputation among the officials for respecting high-ranking officials.
Soon, the news that Da Qi had assembled an army of 300,000 to attack our Dacheng spread rapidly in Tiandu.
The people were stunned for a moment.
“Oh my God!”
"They actually succeeded in their attack on us. Could it be that the Queen is a fairy descended to earth and could have predicted this news?"
After these words were spoken, all those who had scolded Gu Jingchun for this a few days ago felt guilty and lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.
He also learned that Gu Jingchun not only did not punish Jiang Chongfan for his crime of disrespect.
Instead, he helped him up with his own hands, and when he praised him as a good official, he even wanted to slap himself twice.
What a good queen!
Why were they so blind a few days ago that they insisted on saying that she was a demon concubine?
After a brief silence, the people had a new trend.
They all said that Gu Jingchun was the one destined by heaven and the emperor destined by heaven for our Dacheng.
Only with her can we maintain peace and stability in Dacheng.
All the previous remarks were deliberately spread by Jiang Chongfan in order to make the people attack Gu Jingchun.
When the people learned about this, they immediately began to curse Jiang Chongfan.
Therefore, when Jiang Chongfan left the palace, the surrounding people still lined the streets to welcome him.
However, in the morning, it is a sign of respect and blessing for him.
And now, all they heard were curses against him.
Some even started throwing rotten eggs at the carriage.
The smell of rotten eggs filled the entire carriage. Jiang Chongfan couldn't stand it at all, and finally he returned home with a pinch of his nose.
After returning home, he took several showers, but he still seemed to have a bad smell.
This made Jiang Chongfan even angrier.
He picked up the tea and took a sip, but found that the tea was very hot. He was so angry that he threw the cup to the ground.
"How is tea served?"
"Don't you know the temperature anymore?"
The maid hurriedly lowered her head to deal with the fragments.
Jiang Chongfan then closed his eyes and began to calm his breathing.
Unexpectedly, he was so smart all his life, but in the end he was fooled by that girl Gu Jingchun.
I have done so much before, but now all of it has been used to make wedding dresses for her.
This made Jiang Chongfan very angry.
Especially when he thought that he would have to pretend to be respectful to Gu Jingchun later, he wished he could tear Gu Jingchun into pieces.
******
Today was a good comeback.
Gu Jingchun was in a good mood and even ate two more crystal buns during dinner.
Shen Hechuan saw all of this.
He looked at Gu Jingchun with eyes full of admiration.
"Jingchun, you really can be called an excellent emperor in this morning's court session.
This way, I can rest assured.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun stopped moving.
She looked up at him.
"Have you made up your mind yet?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
Gu Jingchun's eyes quickly turned red.
"Okay, then you must take good care of yourself. I... will wait for you to come back."
