Chapter 747 Long Live the Emperor! (17)
Who is Jiang Shaohui from Wuxian? And how did he catch the emperor's eye?

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

The officials looked at each other, wondering how the emperor had learned of such a minor official as Jiang Shaohui, and why he had transferred him to Tiedou City.

The case in Tiedou City revealed only the tip of the iceberg of the embezzled funds involved, but even this small amount was enough to make many officials envious.

Iron City is now a hot commodity. Although all the previous officials of Iron City have been imprisoned, it does not stop the later people from wanting to get a share of the pie.

Especially now that a large amount of property has just been confiscated, it's the perfect opportunity to get rich!

So many ministers immediately put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, believing that the emperor should think twice and not send an unknown nobody like Jiang Shaohui.

This person recommended someone else to go, that person recommended someone else to go, and some people even recommended themselves directly.

The imperial court suddenly became lively, with various forces clashing and arguing fiercely.

The reason why Yu Muhuai appointed Jiang Shaohui and trusted him so much that he wouldn't embezzle money was, of course, because of Wan Zhixin's memories from his previous life.

She should keep these things to herself; there's no need to share them with these selfish courtiers.

Yu Muhuai sat calmly in the seat of honor, leaning back in his chair with a slightly lazy posture.

She rested one hand on the armrest of the chair, supporting her chin, and quietly watched the arguing courtiers below the stage.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Muhuai yawned.

The crowd below was exhausted from arguing. Some of them, blinded by greed, were furious. If it weren't for the Emperor's presence above them, they might have already taken action.

But the person in the high position remained silent for a long time. Why did they seem to be putting on a one-man show?

Arguing amongst themselves for too long gets boring, since ultimately the emperor has to make the decision.

So the group temporarily quieted down and turned to the seat of honor, ready to let the emperor make the judgment.

To everyone's surprise, the Emperor had fallen asleep!

The Emperor, looking so relaxed and carefree, leaning back in his chair with his arm as a pillow and his eyes closed, could hardly be mistaken for someone asleep.
So all that cursing they just did was like talking nonsense?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

A group of people shouted a few times below. Li De'en, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He carefully approached and gently touched Yu Muhuai's arm.

Yu Muhuai seemed to just realize what was happening, frowned, and came to his senses.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and even stretched her waist in front of everyone.

"Yeah, comfortable."

Ministers:? ? ?
Yu Muhuai raised his chin and asked condescendingly, "Are you all done arguing?"

It's not that the argument is over, but it's not that it's not over either.
None of the ministers dared to speak.

Yu Muhuai's previously lazy eyes suddenly turned sharp.

She snorted loudly and began to reprimand him sharply.

"I support you people, the court pays you salaries, just so you can come to the court and argue?"

When faced with crucial matters, they all run away faster than anyone else. But when things settle down and it's time to divide the spoils, they all argue more fiercely than anyone else!

What use are you to me?

At this point, Yu Muhuai straightened up from his chair and suddenly stood up.

After standing up, the emperor's aura became even more imposing.

The emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses.

Although they were not on the battlefield, the officials below the stage could truly feel the emperor's murderous intent and anger.

That murderous aura, which seemed to have coalesced into a sharp blade, appeared to be a Rakshasa stepping out from a battlefield strewn with corpses and filled with mountains of knives and seas of blood!
A bloody and furious aura surged and roared towards the assembled officials.

Why does this emperor, who has never personally been on the battlefield, seem to have already stained his hands with blood and killed countless souls?

Faced with this intimidating presence, the officials all knelt on the ground, shouting "Your Majesty, I am guilty!" and "Long live the Emperor!" Yu Muhuai walked down the steps one by one.

She didn't speak again until she stood before the assembled officials.

This time, her voice was firm and unyielding, brooking no opposition.

"The Iron City case was discussed by me, Ping Qinian, and Duan Kui, and has nothing to do with any of you."

Under my instructions, the two of them have handled this matter properly. I have also discussed Jiang Shaohui's appointment and the distribution of all the assets with them.

All the credit goes to them, and none of them have any objections. Who are you to criticize them?

Still dissatisfied? Fine, then go argue with Duan Kui, go talk to He Ping and Qinian!

Although Duan Kui is far away in the Northwest, his contributions to the country in recent years are evident to all.

It can be said that he single-handedly built the border defense line and stopped the invasion of the Jian Kingdom.

Ping Qinian goes without saying.

None of the people in the imperial court dared to offend those two powerful figures.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I deserve to die a thousand deaths."

A group of people knelt down and kowtowed, and a chorus of pleas for mercy filled the air.

"Hmph, I have already issued an edict regarding Jiang Shaohui's appointment, and I do not wish to hear any further dissenting voices."

Having said that, Yu Muhuai flicked his sleeves and turned to leave the court.

It wasn't until Yu Muhuai's footsteps faded into the distance that the once silent court gradually began to stir again.

The bolder officials cautiously looked up, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the emperor had really left.

The ministers all looked up, doing the same thing.

For some reason, after being stared at like that by the Emperor, they felt a sense of fear, as if they were prey being watched by a ferocious beast.

I have a feeling that the Emperor is different now.

This is getting more and more terrifying!!!

But how come the Emperor and Ping Qinian get along so well now? Unbeknownst to the officials, the two have already secretly taken control of Tiedou City.

Could it be that the Emperor intends to follow the example of the late Emperor and heavily rely on the eunuch faction?

But then why punish those involved in Xu Lianyin's case without any mercy?
Now, Ping Qinian doesn't attend court all day and just rests in the palace. Could it be that he has settled down in his sleeping quarters and is preparing to live out his days in peace?

The ministers frowned, shook their heads, and couldn't understand what was going on.

Even if you can't figure it out, you still have to keep doing it.

Currently, the eunuch faction is behaving itself and has become much more sensible. It is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, and it dares not act so recklessly.

Although the Kenshin Party repeatedly tried to overthrow the eunuch party, all their efforts came to nothing.

However, those members of the Kenshin Party are currently preoccupied with their own problems.

Several key members of the Party were brought down, their homes were searched, and some were beheaded. Others dared not harbor any more crooked thoughts.

Even if the eunuch faction still had a breath left, Ping Qinian had not yet fallen.

The Emperor has changed so much lately; he's become more and more opinionated and assertive.

The emperor these days isn't as easy to fool as he used to be!

No! To be precise, it's that they're becoming increasingly susceptible to being fooled by the emperor!
