My subjects are too rebellious!

Chapter 9: A Good Tiger

"Loyal to me?"

Qin Chuan seemed to have heard a huge joke.

Sima Yi looked at Qin Chuan who was laughing heartily, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

But his complexion remained the same.

"In that case, why don't you tell me how loyal these generals of mine are to me."

Faced with this question, Sima Yi secretly hated himself for having said the wrong thing.

However, Sima Yi seemed to be very good at hiding his emotions and still smiled gently.

"Your Majesty, several generals are fighting for the Dawu court, so they are naturally loyal to Your Majesty."

"I, as a humble official, naturally dare not criticize these generals."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Sima Yi.

"If I insist you say it."

Sima Yi felt really uncomfortable being stared at, as if the emperor's gaze could see through him.

Helpless, I could only say it.

"General Cao Cao is a brave warrior, and his generals are talented. He is a founding general who followed the late emperor, so he is naturally loyal to Your Majesty."

"General Zhu Di, the Great Northern Expedition Commander, has been sweeping away the foreign tribes on the northern grasslands for many years. His loyalty is naturally beyond doubt."

"General Zhao Kuo, who is well versed in the art of war, is a man who has few rivals in leading troops in battles. He is naturally loyal to Your Majesty."

Hearing that Zhao Kuo was well-versed in the art of war, Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Sima Yi pause, Qin Chuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, please continue."

"As for General An Lushan, although he is a foreigner, he has been defending against foreigners outside the western border for many years. His loyalty is beyond doubt."

Listening to Sima Yi describing his generals as so loyal, it seemed as if if he had even the slightest doubt he would be despising their loyalty.

Qin Chuan also laughed in silence.

"In that case, what about you, Imperial Master?"

Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat again, obviously the answer just now did not satisfy His Majesty.

This time, Sima Yi made up his mind and adhered to the principle that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made, and the less he said, the better.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty."

After answering, Sima Yi saw that Qin Chuan did not answer, but just stared at him with narrowed eyes.

Sima Yi also stood still, not backing down at all and letting Qin Chuan stare at him.

As for himself, he lowered his head slightly, as if everything around him could not affect his mood.

At this moment, Qin Chuan watched helplessly as Sima Yi, whose loyalty level was originally 6, actually dropped a little again.

"You old fellow, you're playing this game with me. Your loyalty is almost negative, and you're still talking to me about loyalty."

Qin Chuan sneered in his heart, but appeared calm on the surface.

I didn't ask him any more questions and just left him aside.

"Zhao Gao, what brings you here today?"

Zhao Gao, who had been quietly lowering his presence on the side, hurriedly trotted to Qin Chuan after hearing Qin Chuan's words.

He knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I thought that your Majesty's dragon body had just recovered, so I searched everywhere and finally found a divine man in Zhongnan Mountain."

"Oh? Who told you I was sick?"

Qin Chuan stared at Zhao Gao and said coldly.

When Zhao Gao heard this, he slapped himself on the mouth several times.

"I was wrong. Your Majesty is in a strong body and will be fine."

"Okay, let's continue."

After Qin Chuan came out to stop him, Zhao Gao also stopped slapping his face and smiled obsequiously.

It seemed that what happened just now could not affect his enthusiasm.

"I have found a god who can make the elixir of immortality for your majesty."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan sneered inwardly.

Good man, you want me to die young.

You've really gone to great lengths to claim that highly toxic mercury is an elixir of immortality.

Faced with the temptation of immortality, no emperor could resist it.

But I am a time traveler.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. You have done a good job. Here is a reward."

Although Qin Chuan complained in his heart, he praised him out loud.

Then he looked at Zhang Rang and said: "Reward Zhao Gao with twenty pieces of brocade, ten horses, and a pair of colored glaze cups."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao kowtowed several times and shouted "Long live the emperor" to express his gratitude.

"Go back."

Zhao Gao thanked His Majesty again, then bowed and slowly left the Qianqing Palace.

Sima Yi originally looked down on Zhao Gao and was unwilling to associate with such a person.

Although he was somewhat tempted when he heard about the elixir of immortality, when he thought of something else, he looked at Zhao Gao with even more contempt.

Of course, Qin Chuan also saw this scene.

Sima Yi also secretly noticed Qin Chuan's expression.

Sima Yi clearly sensed that His Majesty did not believe in the elixir of immortality, and it seemed that His Majesty was not tempted by it at all.

This surprised Sima Yi, and he couldn't help but look up to Qin Chuan.

"Teacher, what do you think of this elixir of life?" After Zhao Gao left, Qin Chuan stared at Sima Yi with a smile and said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on finding the Immortal."

Sima Yi also congratulated against his will, in fact he hoped Qin Chuan would die sooner.

"If that's the case, then that's great."

Although Sima Yi's expression was hidden very well, Qin Chuan still noticed it.

He stared at Sima Yi with a smile and said, "Next time Zhao Gao presents me with the elixir of immortality, I will definitely give it to the Imperial Master."

"I am grateful for the teacher's teachings over the years."

When Sima Yi heard this, he almost couldn't help cursing.

This guy clearly knows that the elixir of life is a scam and it's something that can kill you.

But I still say that I should be grateful to myself and give myself food.

This is like wishing you were dead.

But Sima Yi still had to appear grateful on the surface.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. However, what I have done is not worthy of such a precious reward from Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to take back what you just said. I am really terrified."

Panic? You are probably not terrified.

Qin Chuan stared at Sima Yi and sneered. Even in this situation, he was still saying these words against his will.

Zhonghu is worthy of his name. No wonder he could outlast Lao Cao's family.

"Teacher, what you said is not true. As a disciple, I naturally have to respect you. I hope you will not shirk your responsibility."

Qin Chuan had said so much, so Sima Yi naturally couldn't say a word of excuse.

He could only let Qin Chuan manipulate him, but in his heart he already hated Zhao Gao.

That’s right, he hated Zhao Gao. Although Sima Yi also had the intention of rebellion, he knew that now was not the time.

"Teacher, I have another matter to ask you today. I hope you can give me some advice."

Sima Yi nodded gently, waiting for Qin Chuan's next words.

"I wonder if the teacher has any way to help me recover some of the troops of the four generals."

Sima Yi was not surprised to hear this.

He had been secretly planning in Dawu for so many years, so he naturally knew how great the military power of the four generals was now.

That is a force that even he is jealous of.

Not to mention Qin Chuan, who is now beginning to show his potential.

If Qin Chuan wants to stabilize the Dawu court, he must first consolidate his military power. Without military power, he will be a commander without any troops.

All the schemes are just empty talk.

Sima Yi's mind was working rapidly: "Your Majesty, the four generals are all loyal. If the military power is not taken back, the Dawu Dynasty will be as solid as a rock and no one can shake it."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan sneered and said nothing.

But in his heart he was cursing Sima Yi badly.

"This old dog is not willing to offer me any strategy."

"What a well-thought-out Sima Yi! What a tiger with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf!"

Suddenly thinking of a bad idea, Qin Chuan said lightly.

"Zhang Rang, go and fetch my General for the Southern Expedition."

Then he smiled and said to Sima Yi: "Teacher, I have troubled you to help me solve my problems today. Please go back."

Zhang Rang did not ask the reason and left the Qianqing Palace directly and went to the General's Mansion to ask for help.

However, Sima Yi, who left the Qianqing Palace, did not understand why the emperor thanked him even though he had not offered any strategy.

And he knew that the current Majesty was no longer the same Majesty as before.

His Majesty also realized that he had not offered any advice, but why was this the case?

Then, Sima Yi looked at Zhang Rang in front of him with some confusion.

"Why would you invite Cao Cao, a guy who loves married women?"

Sima Yi was somewhat puzzled.

However, Sima Yi was still very happy that he had escaped danger today.

Humming a little tune, he walked towards his own residence.

His beautiful wife was still waiting for him to come home and cook for her.
