Chapter 243 The Sick and Vicious Soldier and His Iron-Blooded and Cold-Faced General 22
After getting the emperor's nod, he quickly stood up and walked to the Third Prince with the medicine box. He paused for a moment as he looked at the wound on the Third Prince's face that would heal in an incense stick of time. Then he took the pulse seriously as if he was treating some difficult disease, applied medicine, and said, "For the sake of His Highness's health, I will give him acupuncture after the dinner."
The emperor saw his behavior and nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the others and said, "My dear ministers, don't be too restrained. Everyone can eat as much as they want at this banquet!"
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the incident with the Third Prince was over, and then raised their glasses to drink.
818 looked around and didn't see Xiao Xiechuan. Worried, it opened the screen and took a look, only to find that he was sawing the leg of the Third Prince's sleeping bed.
it:.........
Ji Bai, who was caught by the corner of my eye:...
818 summed it up brilliantly: [The great evil in this world is truly perverted and childish. ]
Ji Bai nodded in agreement.
After knowing what Xiao Xiechuan was doing, 818 felt relieved, then flew to the side of the Eighth Prince and put the pill in his hand into the wine glass he raised to drink.
After watching him swallow the wine mouthful by mouthful with wide eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and flew back to the boss's side.
"Jiang Yunci has made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of our Tianqi Kingdom today!" the emperor suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, everyone put down their glasses, knowing that it was time to get down to business.
The emperor looked around condescendingly and continued in a majestic voice: "But my dear ministers also know that I sympathize with loyal officials and love talents and people..."
The careful people present understood what was going on first, and those with quick minds showed a hint of worry on their faces.
The prosperity of Tianqi Kingdom was only on the surface. People in many surrounding areas were suffering. However, because they were very far away from the capital and the emperor never made secret visits, they had no idea that almost half of the people in the country were suffering from hunger and cold.
They have long since stopped dared to report these things truthfully.
Because those stubborn loyal ministers were all killed by the emperor who believed in slander.
The country can still be so peaceful, all thanks to the Blood Rain Temple and the General's Mansion that are passed down among the people.
The Blood Rain Temple provides disaster relief, and the General’s Mansion guards the border.
Because of the existence of these two parties, even if they ignore these things, Tianqi Kingdom can still maintain its current stability.
but......
What the emperor wants to do now is to take back the tiger talisman from the general, and then the balance between the two parties will be completely disrupted!
The anxious minister walked to the middle of the banquet, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice! Now the Turks are still eyeing Tianqi. If other countries know that the general has resigned and returned home, they will definitely be hostile to Tianqi..."
"What nonsense! Minister Xiao thinks that the general is not strong enough and that the Turks in Liaoxin area can make a comeback?" The emperor slammed the table and said angrily.
The minister trembled all over and kowtowed quickly, saying, "I dare not!"
Emperor: "Give him twenty lashes of the cane!"
Upon hearing this, the minister's pupils suddenly dilated and he begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please spare my life, Your Majesty!!"
The emperor's expression remained unchanged. The guards beside him came out and dragged him to the side of the banquet.
The banquet suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and waves of screams and pleas for mercy echoed in every corner of the banquet.
Emperor: "Does anyone else have any objections?"
Everyone present shook their heads and dared not say anything more.
Seeing this, the anger on the emperor's face gradually dissipated, and he continued, "My dear ministers, don't be too anxious. These are things I have thought about carefully and discussed with my dear minister Jiang."
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards where the general was sitting.
At first glance, I saw the person with fluttering clothes, who looked like a banished immortal descended from heaven.
The man had a cold expression and indifferent eyes. He did not have the murderous intent that one would expect from someone who had ever murdered someone. Instead, his aura was very peaceful. However, he gave people a feeling that he was not easy to approach.
Father Jiang on the side was a little anxious.
Ji Bai stood up, bowed and said slowly: "I am your Majesty's subject, so I will naturally obey your Majesty's arrangements."
The emperor raised his lips in satisfaction, laughed loudly twice, and then said, "Lord Jiang has been traveling all year round, and his parents at home have already grown gray-haired. If I let him guard the country for the rest of his life, wouldn't that be my fault?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor: "It is a blessing for the general's mansion that I can share your worries. If your majesty needs it, I will protect your country for the rest of my life..."
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, no need to say more, I have already made arrangements in my mind."
After the emperor stopped talking, everyone returned to their seats.
This time they were not in the happy mood as at the beginning, but became worried instead.
The queen looked at the lifeless man who pretended to maintain a smile, then glanced at the emperor. Knowing that it was time for her to make an appearance, she said, "Ministers, don't worry. Your Majesty has always been clear about what is important. He took back the tiger talisman not only because he felt sorry for the general who hadn't been with his parents for a long time, but also because he had found a better general."
The ministers looked up at the emperor sitting on the high throne.
The emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It is the queen who understands my painstaking efforts."
The ministers all became puzzled, and someone spoke up:
"I am stupid, but who is the person your majesty is talking about?"
Emperor: "It is Xiao Xiechuan who won three great military merits."
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty is wise."
818 who saw all this:........
It couldn't help but complain: [Boss, aren't these people really just playing house with that old man? ]
[And it was you who proposed to give the tiger talisman to Xiao Xiechuan, why is it that he is the one who wants it now? ]
Ji Bai lowered his eyes and ate his food.
Father Jiang, who was standing by, lowered his voice and asked him, "Xiao Ci, did you really ask for this?"
Ji Bai lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Father Jiang hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh.
The emperor on the high throne did not notice this side. He looked at the eunuch beside him and gave him a wink.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch took two steps forward, stretched his neck and shouted: "Announce the three great military merits winners Xiao Xiechuan——"
818 looked around: [Isn't he sawing off the third prince's bed legs? Can he get back in time? ]
