Chapter 65: Jiujiu is not careful

Jiang Wu was not joking, he said if he wanted to crash, he would crash.

If this really crashed and was damaged, and the news got out, Emperor Zhaoning would probably become the first tyrant in history who forced his subjects to die. The court officials would also be in panic and would find it difficult to work with peace of mind.

Emperor Zhaoning held his forehead with a headache: "Fu'an, hurry up, get someone to stop him!"

Several eunuchs beside Jiang Wu rushed forward and stopped Jiang Wu, but Jiang Wu was stubborn and insisted on dying to prove his loyalty. Since he couldn't hit the target this way, he went to the other side.

Fortunately, the eunuch next to him was quick-witted and stood in front of the pillar. Jiang Wu hit the eunuch's chest instead of the pillar.

The eunuch was hit and fell to the ground, holding his chest with his hands, with acid mixed with white foam coming out of his mouth.

Emperor Zhaoning: “…”

Jiang Wu: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe in my loyalty to Western Chu, I will continue to hit you..."

Is this never going to end?

Emperor Zhaoning had a headache.

Jiujiu's voice rang in Emperor Zhaoning's ears at this moment.

[This Jiang Wu is actually a good official, not a corrupt official, and he truly serves the people and Western Chu.]

[It's a pity that he was too upright as an official and didn't know how to curry favor with others, so he was involved with those truly corrupt and bad officials. Even when he was slandered, he always acted as if he was innocent and never explained, so he became notorious.]

[Sometimes rumors are not necessarily true. ]

[I hope my cheap father can see clearly and not wrongly accuse a good official. And don't execute Jiang Wu because of some false evidence like in the book. ]

After listening to Jiujiu's thoughts, Emperor Zhaoning was silent for a long time.

He always thought that the rumors inside and outside the court were true. Jiang Wu was greedy and did everything for his own selfish interests. He should be on guard against him.

But I never thought that Jiang Wu might have such a bad reputation because he was too upright and refused to go along with the corrupt others.

It was because of his lack of judgment and being misled by appearances that he questioned the wise ministers and even wanted to kill them!

No wonder the Western Chu Kingdom in Jiujiu’s story was destroyed.

With his imperial attitude, it would be strange if Western Chu did not perish.

Emperor Zhaoning secretly made up his mind that from today on, he must read more books, study more, gain insights, improve himself, and become a wise monarch with clear eyes and ears.

"emperor……"

Jiang Wu was still there, hoping to die, to prove that he had no intention of pursuing personal gain.

Emperor Zhaoning's mentality has changed a lot at this moment. He no longer doubts Jiang Wu, and his attitude towards Jiang Wu has also changed drastically.

He put down the Jiujiu, came to Jiang Wu, patted the back of Jiang Wu's hand, and said: "My dear minister, you have repeatedly died to show your will, so why should I not believe you?"

Jiang Wu was moved.

Emperor Zhaoning continued, "I will immediately issue an order to establish a weapons and equipment company. You will be in charge of it temporarily and recruit talented people from all over the world to manufacture new weapons that are more suitable for fighting on the battlefield."

"By the way, I plan to expand our military forces to deal with any unexpected needs."

"If you have any good ideas, you can submit them. I will read them carefully."

Jiang Wu couldn't believe it. What did the emperor say? Not only did he adopt his proposal to build a military equipment store, but he also suddenly changed his attitude towards him? He told him about expanding the military force?

You have to understand that before, the emperor always looked distrustful of him and was somewhat distant from him.

He was always excluded from important state affairs.

He was troubled by this, but there was nothing he could do.

But now, the emperor actually... actually... gave him such an important task, and even asked for his opinion on expanding the military force.

This shows the trust in him.

Jiang Wu, a grown man, suddenly became so excited that he burst into tears.

"Why are you crying, my dear?"

Emperor Zhaoning was puzzled. In his impression, Jiang Wu was a man who shed blood but not tears. He had a very stubborn temper and never cried.

"Nothing." Jiang Wu wiped his tears and said nothing more, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations and get the weapons business done."

"Do it secretly first and don't let the royal family know. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles." Emperor Zhaoning reminded.

"I understand."

Jiang Wu took his leave.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at Jiujiu and felt fortunate that he had saved a good minister because of Jiujiu's voice.

He himself has also worked hard to improve his mentality, which is a change and progress.

Change a little and make a little progress every day.

The Western Chu State would not have perished so easily.

He believed he could prevent bad things from happening.

·

Late at night, Emperor Zhaoning finally finished his official duties and took Jiujiu to Qiu Shui Ju to eat reunion dumplings.

Concubine Li and the Thirteenth Prince were both waiting for them, and the relationship between the two seemed much more harmonious. Especially the Thirteenth Prince, he looked very quiet and obedient, and no longer went crazy.

Emperor Zhaoning looked very pleased.

Just don't make a fuss.

At this moment, after he sat down with Jiujiu in his arms, he looked at Concubine Li and said jokingly, "I thought Yiyao you wouldn't wait for me anymore!"

"What are you saying, Your Majesty?" And there was also Jiujiu. Even if she didn't wait for Emperor Zhaoning, she would wait for Jiujiu to come back.

"Madam Gui, quickly ask the kitchen to make the dumplings," Concubine Li reminded.

Aunt Gui sighed happily and took her people to make dumplings.

Emperor Zhaoning was talking to Concubine Li, while the Thirteenth Prince was looking at Jiujiu cautiously.

He had been feeling ashamed of the fact that he had pinched Jiujiu on the street and left a bad impression on her, and he had always wanted to apologize to Jiujiu.

But there was no chance.

I finally got the chance today.

He took out a frog woven out of straw, handed it to Jiujiu, and said carefully: "Jiujiu, this is woven by my brother himself. I give it to you. I hope you don't dislike it. Will you accept it?"

Jiujiu was asking someone to bring Nan Yuanxiang over so that they could eat dumplings together when they received a frog.

She also has a bamboo dragonfly, which was bought for her by General Yu, and she likes it very much.

She also likes this frog.

"Thank you, Brother Thirteen." Jiujiu said and happily accepted the frog.

The Thirteenth Prince looked at Jiujiu lovingly, praising her in his heart: "Sister is so pretty, delicate and beautiful, just like the sister I imagined. I really want to kiss her."

Jiujiu played with the frog in his hand and said, "Brother, why are you looking at Jiujiu like that?"

"Because my brother likes you."

"Jiujiu likes brother too." Jiujiu smiled, and her beautiful big eyes were about to burst with laughter.

The Thirteenth Prince did not laugh, but said solemnly: "Jiujiu, I was wrong to pinch you before. I apologize to you. I swear that I will never do it again. I will protect you."

After all, Jiujiu is his only sister!

"It's okay, it's okay!" Jiujiu said generously, "Jiujiu doesn't blame you."

【After all, my brother is sick. 】

[If Jiujiu were to argue with a patient, it would make him look petty. Jiujiu is not petty. ]

The Thirteenth Prince: “…”

He is not sick, can you please not misunderstand him, sister?

The Thirteenth Prince was about to explain when he heard the conversation between Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li.

Emperor Zhaoning said, "Yiyao, when Jiujiu returns to your mother's home tomorrow, let her regain her male body, right?"
