Chapter 129 True Dragon Emperor
Nie Hai heard the crying and yelled angrily, "What are you doing? He's not dead yet. Are you worried that others don't know that your son is dying?"
Feng couldn't bear to hear the word death now and cried breathlessly.
Nie Hai was overwhelmed and ordered the servants, "Hurry up and bring the wife in! It's disrespectful to yell at the door!"
The nanny beside Feng advised: "Madam, the young master is still unconscious. You are not doing it to help him recover!"
When Feng heard that this was not good for her son, she immediately shut up.
Seeing that she had stopped making noise, the nanny took Feng and walked into the yard.
Nie Hai ordered his servants to clear out a yard for him to rest and not to be disturbed by outsiders.
The Empress Dowager also knew that they had returned, so she asked Nanny Chang to send a lot of supplements and precious medicinal herbs on his behalf, and also said many comforting words.
As soon as the Empress Dowager's men left, the Emperor issued an edict commending Nie Shaoli for his bravery in resisting the barbarians and asking him to recuperate. He also rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and precious elixirs.
At this point, Nie Shaoli's mission to support the North came to an end.
After knowing the emperor's decree, Lord Zhang shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Shuowen looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what are you doing..."
He glanced at his eldest son and asked, "What do you think of that person's recent behavior?"
Zhang Shuowen hesitated for a moment and said bluntly, "My son thinks it's unfair."
Zhang Shuowen pondered, "Everyone knows that this battle was won by the Prince of Liang, but the Emperor never mentioned it.
"To actually commend Nie Shaoli, who lost the battle, doesn't this chill the hearts of those soldiers who fought so hard to win the battle?"
A young man wearing a green brocade robe next to Zhang Shuowen interrupted:
"Brother, there's one thing you haven't mentioned yet. Warfare isn't just about brute courage. That's not only foolhardy, it also results in the sacrifice of innocent soldiers.
If all the generals follow General Fubei's example, wouldn't Dayin be in danger?"
Zhang Ge Lao glanced at his sons with satisfaction, "Shuowen, Shuoxuan, you are both right. If even you understand this, then surely that person doesn't understand it either?"
The third son, Zhang Shuocheng, then said, "The fear is that he not only knows the truth, but is also determined to do this."
Zhang Shuowen was incredulous... and said, "Could it be that he wants to force the King of Liang... to rebel?"
The study became quiet in an instant.
Everyone can see that the emperor does not like Prince Liang, but to be honest, Prince Liang has not done anything detrimental to the court.
Not only that, it also helped the court resolve many border risks.
If we were to say what the only crime of King Liang was, it might be that he was too capable.
The emperor is not a man of broad vision, so he is inevitably jealous.
But they could only think about this in their hearts.
Zhang Ge Lao glanced at his three sons and sternly warned them, "Keep today's conversation to yourself. Be careful with your words and actions when you are out in public, so as not to cause gossip."
"Don't worry, Dad."
The same conversation they had today also occurred in the homes of many ministers in the capital. Everyone had a premonition that there might be a big storm in the future.
Who knows what storms will come in the future, but there is a big storm in the North right now.
The barbarians sent an army of 100,000 to attack the border.
This news caused panic among the people, and they were all thinking about how to escape. For a time, the entire northern border was in chaos.
But some careful people found that this might be a rumor.
There have been a lot of news coming out in the past few days, and for a while no one can tell whether it is true or false.
One moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang defeated the barbarian army while he was ill.
Then it was said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang waved his hand and the barbarians died.
There are also claims that His Royal Highness Prince Liang is not a human, but a god of war in heaven, possessing divine powers, who can kill anyone with magic.
In short, the rumors became extremely exaggerated.
Xie Shuangbai was stunned when he heard the rumors from the servants in the palace.
He would be the first to disagree with anyone who said that ancient people couldn't make up stories.
However, Xie Shuangbai also discovered the problem. Since the rumors in the north had spread all over, how could the emperor not know about it? With such a great achievement, there was not even an imperial edict. It seemed that the emperor's vision was really narrow.
Rong Yu has been extremely annoyed these past two days because of Xie Shuangbai's complaints.
The accusations from the Censorate against him were piling up like a mountain.
He felt that these old guys just wanted to make life difficult for him. Rong Ye already had the entire northern border, so how could he be asked to reward him?
Just make it for the emperor.
He was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the table to the ground.
"They all come to force me, they all come to force me!"
"Let Rong Ye sit on the throne!"
Everyone in the Qinzheng Hall was so scared that they lowered their heads, fearing that the emperor would offend them.
Eunuch Changxi knelt at the emperor's feet and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. You must not hurt yourself for these filthy people!"
"Changxi, what fun do I have as the emperor? Everyone is forcing me."
He slumped down on the ground, muttering to himself, "Since I was little, my mother has always asked me to please my father. After I became emperor, the ministers asked me to please them. Everyone keeps asking things of me, but no one asks me what I want!"
"I know I'm not cut out to be an emperor, but I'm trying my best. What else do they want from me? What do they want me to do to satisfy them?"
"Their memorials all say that I shouldn't have given Shao Li a reward!"
Rong Yu laughed, and then he started crying again: "They are all teaching me how to do things, teaching me as an emperor how to do things...haha."
He curled up into a ball, crying, laughing, picking up the letter and looking at it and laughing again.
Changxi was already in tears. Seeing the emperor so distressed, he consoled him:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to compromise yourself for anyone. Just do what you like. Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, a true dragon. How can these filthy mortals understand you?"
Rong Yu's dim eyes suddenly lit up:
"That's right, I am a true dragon, the Son of Heaven. Since God has made me the emperor, it means that Rong Ye is not destined to be so!"
"Haha, he won't have that fate!"
The emperor's crazy laughter echoed in the Qinzheng Hall.
Everyone was frightened by the emperor's madness and swallowed their saliva secretly.
Rong Yu suddenly looked at the memorials on the ground and ordered, "Changxi, burn all the memorials on the ground."
Changxi wiped his tears and said, "Yes."
After saying this, he ordered two young eunuchs to burn all the memorials in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at the blazing flames and felt relieved. Yes, he was a real dragon and he didn't have to be afraid of anyone!
Before the memorial was completely burned, the absurd events in the Qinzheng Palace reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
Ever since Rongye annihilated the barbarians, the emperor has become increasingly excessive.
Today he actually dared to burn the memorial.
He dared to do things that even the previous emperor did not dare to do.
But all he did were stupid things that were criticized!
The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes were dizzy.
Frightened, Nanny Chang quickly supported her and said, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry anymore. Your health is more important!"
"Your Majesty, you see that I'm living such a good life, and you really want to piss me off to death!"
Nanny Chang looked hesitant: "I heard that the emperor was instigated to burn the memorial this time."
