Chapter 100: Helping You Get Promoted and Rich
Due to his limited cultural level, this is all An Jiu can think of.
She looked back. She couldn't see the emperor from here at all, but Anjiu felt as if she was looking at the emperor from a distance through something...
In fact, An Jiu was overthinking. The emperor was bandaging his wound at this time. Jiang Sheng got blood from somewhere and smeared it on his chest. The blood had already dried up and looked shocking.
The people outside were all wearing official uniforms. An experienced person could tell the rank of an official by looking at the official uniforms, but An Jiu didn't recognize them. Besides, these adults were dressed similarly. They looked similar to her, all wearing official hats, lean and stylish, and all had beards. Their aesthetics were quite uniform...
An Jiu could only remember the first four people.
One was the first place winner of the autumn hunt, and he was obviously a military commander, and the other was unknown.
The remaining two were jumping the most happily. An Jiu guessed that these two people would soon become the first ones that the emperor would have to deal with.
"Since we are here, why don't we come and see His Majesty? We have good intentions." said the first one.
The first one to come forward said, "We are also concerned about Your Majesty..."
The two men said that they were doing it for the emperor's own good, but in fact their actions were extremely rebellious. They probably thought that since the emperor hadn't come out for so long and Eunuch Li was still pushing and shoving to stop him, then this must be a sure thing...
That’s why I can’t wait...
Later, the first place winner of the Autumn Hunt started quarreling with them. An Jiu observed that there were only a few people quarreling, and most people were just watching the fun from the sidelines.
She shook her head.
These people are actually the scariest and most hateful. They seem to have said nothing and done nothing, but in fact they are accomplices...
Once the emperor becomes weak, they will immediately follow suit and deal with him.
When An Jiu was thinking about this, she felt something strange behind her. She turned around and saw the emperor, who looked weak and about to fall. He looked at her with cold eyes and said weakly, "Help me out."
[Does my pretending look like it? ? ? ]
An Jiu "..."
No, brother, you’re pretending too much!
Outside, Lord Yan and Lord Wu took the lead, while Young Master Li was engaged in a verbal battle with another lord. While the others were watching, two people walked out of Guanghua Hall.
One of them can be ignored, and everyone's eyes are on the emperor's face.
The emperor looked very cold. Although he was wearing clothes, it was obvious that he was very weak. There was almost no blood at the corners of his lips, and some blood-stained bandages could be vaguely seen on his white neck...
"His Majesty!"
Everyone knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
Only Lord Yan and Lord Wu haven't reacted yet. Didn't they say they were crazy?
How?
"It seems that Lord Yan and Lord Wu have been dissatisfied with me for a long time, right?"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I dare not."
The two men knelt down, their minds went blank, and they felt that they were finished.
The emperor snorted coldly, and Eunuch Li hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair.
"Tell me, what are you doing crowding at the entrance of Guanghua Palace so early in the morning? If I don't come out, are you going to break in?"
The emperor sat down and squinted at everyone. At this moment, even An Jiu felt that he was strange and majestic, and did not dare to look him directly at him.
"Yan Dong and Wu Shangyi have no respect for His Majesty and are extremely treasonous. Your Majesty, please punish them severely to serve as a warning to others."
Young Master Li spoke up and started to attack.
[The Dingyuan Marquis family is quite smart. ]
Just when An Jiu felt that Young Master Li was very sincere, the emperor's voice came over.
[I have met Li Da before. He is very steady and smart...]
An Jiu paused and secretly glanced at Master Li. Could it be that this man was also pretending? Pretending to be reckless, but actually making his position clear to the emperor?
Well, these days, if you want to get promoted and make money, you have to perform well in front of your boss.
After this incident, the emperor will definitely trust him more and entrust him with important tasks.
The emperor didn't say anything. Yan and Wu cried out that they were wronged, saying that they were just concerned about the emperor and were anxious for a moment...
The people below had different thoughts, and An Jiu didn't know.
But she heard the emperor's thoughts clearly.
【General Zhenyuan remained silent.】
[Prime Minister Jiang claims to be ill...]
[To put it bluntly, these people are just sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. ]
[They don’t obey me…]
[In their eyes, whoever becomes emperor will not affect their status, right? ]
[If I punish Yan and Wu severely today, they will definitely say that I am cruel. If I don’t punish them, everyone will come to step on my head in the future...]
The emperor's silence brought invisible pressure to those below him.
The emperor suddenly smiled, the kind of smile that only raised the corners of his mouth but the rest of his face didn't move. It looked very cold.
Yan Wu was so frightened that he dared not breathe.
The emperor said, "My dear ministers, please stand up. You are all concerned about my health. I understand your painstaking efforts."
The emperor looked at Yan and Wu and said, "Especially the sincerity of the two adults, which is evident to all. I am deeply moved."
Both Yan and Wu were stunned.
The emperor then said: "I just read the memorial..."
The emperor talked about some matters in the court, as if he was going to hold a court meeting. When everyone was confused, he suddenly announced that Yan and Wu were promoted.
Not only the people below, but even An Jiu didn't know why he did this.
"Okay, let's go down, I'm tired."
This time it was Eunuch Li who helped the emperor in.
An Jiu discovered that all the ministers stood there without moving, as if no one understood the meaning of the emperor's action.
Only Lord Yan and Lord Wu were delighted and even mocked Master Li a few times.
Young Master Li was also in deep thought. Lord Ming said, "Since His Majesty is fine, we are relieved. Let's go have a drink. It's been a while since I met Brother Li."
Young Master Li glanced at Lord Ming and nodded. After the two of them left, the others also left one after another.
An Jiu returned to the hall and saw that the emperor had torn off his bandages and was reading memorials.
【Oh……】
[Is salt transport a lucrative job? 】
[But the illegal salt in Hebei has been a problem for a long time, and I haven't had time to deal with it yet. ]
[This time, I will make sure you die without a burial place. ]
【Hahaha. 】
He suddenly smiled and said to An Jiu beside him: "Go make me some cakes, double skin milk, I want to eat it."
An Jiu "..."
No, he does it in waves.
No one could understand the emperor's behavior. When An Jiu prepared the food and brought it over, she found that the emperor was playing chess with Jiang Sheng.
"Cousin, if you do this, they will think you are easy to bully. In my opinion, you should kill them all."
An Jiu used to think that the emperor was a tyrant and Doctor Jiang was very gentle. Now she discovered that Doctor Jiang was the kind of ruthless person who could take people's lives with just a smile, and the emperor himself was not cruel. As for the tyrant, it was others who provoked him first. At least from what An Jiu saw, there was never a single time when he took the initiative to kill people because of his cruelty.
The emperor snorted coldly, "I can kill people, but if I kill them today, the deterrence will only be temporary, and they will think that I am just an impulsive fool. Especially Prime Minister Jiang and the General Zhenyuan Mansion, don't forget that they have a good relationship with Dingyuan Marquis, but only Master Li came out today."
Doctor Jiang didn’t quite understand.
"You mean, Master Li is just testing me?"
The emperor lost a move.
"There are so many twists and turns, I don't understand." Doctor Jiang was about to make a move, but found that he had already lost.
I am speechless...
He turned around and saw Anjiu, and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu is here, did you make anything delicious today?"
An Jiu suddenly felt the emperor's resentment.
She was suddenly enlightened and understood what the emperor meant before he even said it.
You shouldn't come at this time.
The emperor didn't want to share his food with Doctor Jiang at all.
