A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

on the main hall.

All the civil and military officials stood in awe.

There were four ministers kneeling on the ground. They were all court maggots that the Dali Temple had found out with the help of disaster relief funds in the past two days.

One of them was an old minister over 70 years old. He was none other than An Taifu, the father of the current Minister of Revenue An Mingyuan. He denounced himself for his poor parenting and for raising a parasite that was a scourge to the country.

After beating his chest and stamping his feet in anger, he burst into tears on his wrinkled face and begged the emperor who was sitting high above him to spare his son's life.

Emperor Kang Ren looked at the man on the ground with disgust and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place! If I don't kill him, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. Master, please go back. I promise that your family will not be in trouble."

Emperor Kang Ren sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. Everyone tensed up and dared not breathe.

"Look at these people. Which one of them is not the backbone of Daxia? Which one of them is not the pillar of the court? But now they are rotten. The backbone and pillars of Daxia are rotten. How can Daxia still be stable? My heart is broken.

The country that our ancestors built was handed over to me, but it has become like this. I am deeply distressed. I have sinned against the country, my ancestors, and the people. I wish I could dismiss myself. "

As soon as the words came out, all the civil and military officials knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Calm down? How can I calm down? The salaries of Daxia have nurtured a group of maggots in the court. My people are displaced and hungry. How can you ask me to calm down?

Although you all stand in this hall in a dignified manner, are you really that innocent? Perhaps some of you are even more corrupt than them!"

"In the home of a fourth-rank minister, 5000 taels of gold, more than 200 million taels of silver, nearly a thousand pieces of jade, thousands of antiques, gemstones, ivory, agate, etc., more than 5000 pieces of pearls, official kiln porcelain, etc. were seized...

The wealth of a fourth-rank official is almost as much as half of the national treasury.

I finally understand that the trouble of Daxia has never been outside, but here, in this palace, among you civil and military officials. If you are a little rotten, Daxia will be rotten!" Emperor Kang Ren said with great sorrow.

"I warn you, as long as you reach out your hand, I will be waiting for you."

For a moment, everyone was terrified and dared not speak.

After a while, Emperor Kang Ren said, "Come on! Drag these maggots to the city gate and chop them up. Give the people an explanation."

"Your Majesty, please spare our lives. Your Majesty, please forgive my sins..." These people were still making their last dying struggle.

Hearing the girl's voice

Yuan Ying looked up and saw that this person was Princess Anyang!

She stood up, clasped her fists and said, "Hello, Princess Anyang!"

Princess Anyang smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Ying said calmly: "Wait here for the emperor's summons."

"Why did my father summon you?" Princess Anyang asked curiously.

"I don't know!"

Princess Anyang sat beside her as if she knew her husband well and asked, "You are very familiar with my fifth brother, right?"

"good!"

"My fifth brother has a weird temper and is as cold as ice. How did you get to know him?"

"I met him in Zhuang County." Yuan Ying said truthfully

Yuan Ying raised her eyebrows and wondered if Murong Xuanyi was as cold as ice? She felt that he was not that bad.

She went on to say, "My fifth brother will probably be married off when he comes back this time. You don't know that although he's an old man, he's still very popular. Several of my best friends are attracted to him!"

"Yuan Ying, do you know what kind of woman my fifth brother likes?" Princess Anyang pondered.

"I don't know!"

Yuan Ying thought, that would probably disappoint them, Murong Xuanyi didn't like women.

"Yuan Ying, how old are you? Are you married?" Princess Anyang asked with blinking eyes.

"23 and single!"

"No wonder you can get along well with my fifth brother, it turns out they are all old men?" Princess Anyang looked as if she understood.

Yuan Ying: “…”

Did she misunderstand old men? How could 23 be considered old? I just didn't want to argue with her.

Princess Anyang has been complaining about Murong Xuanyi with a beaming smile on her face. Her lips are as red as cherries and it seems as if petals will fall when she smiles.

Yuan Ying responded indifferently.

She pestered her again and asked about the cultural landscape they had seen along the way.

Talkative...noisy...this is how Yuan Ying evaluates her in his heart.

Fortunately, a young eunuch finally came hurriedly and said that the emperor summoned her.

She stood up, said something to Anyang, and followed the eunuch. The eunuch bowed and led her into the Golden Throne Hall of the Taihe Palace.

Inside the solemn and majestic hall, there are round pillars connected by a carved dragon. The dragon head sticks out of the eaves, and the dragon tail goes straight into the hall. It perfectly combines practicality and decoration, adding to the imperial aura of the hall.

The emperor was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and sitting in the Golden Throne Hall. Below him were civil and military officials, and behind him were the mighty palace guards. Yuan Ying looked at them carefully.

He had a square face, solemn and dignified. His brows revealed an imperial aura that was intimidating without anger.

He was somewhat similar to the emperor played by someone called Bin that she saw on TV.

Following the eunuch into the Golden Palace, he heard the civil and military officials looking at him and talking about him. Yuan Ying ignored them and didn't pay any attention until he reached the front of the palace.

"Yuan Ying pays respects to the emperor. May the emperor's reign be long and his life be endless." She said it forcefully and without being humble or arrogant!

She was born in the military, and her back was straight. Even when she was kneeling, she showed the demeanor of a soldier, and the might of the Chinese army. She seemed to have the power of thousands of troops.

May your country be forever secure and your life be long and long! This simply touched Emperor Kang Ren's heart.

He looked at the kneeling prince. Just by kneeling like that, he exuded an air of dominance that looked down on everything!

Emperor Kang Ren said with satisfaction: "No need to be polite! Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yuan Ying, you have made great contributions to the treatment of the plague in Zhuang County. I heard that you did not take a penny of the reward from the court and donated it all to the people of Zhuang County. Why is that?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for this. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. As for the reward, I am alone and can earn a living. But the people of Zhuang County are suffering, and I just want to do my best to help them."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was moved. It was rare to find someone in the world who was so righteous and not greedy for money. Emperor Kang Ren was also deeply moved after hearing this!

And an unstoppable pride appeared on Murong Xuanyi's face!

Emperor Kang Ren's majestic voice rang out in the hall:

"You ministers who eat my salary, how do you feel? Do you feel guilty after hearing this? I feel ashamed after hearing this!"

All the civil and military officials in the hall lowered their heads and there was complete silence!

"Yuan Ying, stopping the plague has benefited the people. I appreciate your contribution to curing the plague. No matter what you ask for, I will grant it to you!"

It was such an honor to receive such a promise from the Emperor. Everyone looked at Yuan Ying. They thought she would be grateful.

Unexpectedly, she bowed to the emperor and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness. I have no desires or requests!"

He paused and said, "If you have anything to ask for, then I pray that there will be no more gun smoke over the country; I wish that the country of Daxia will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace!"

Her words were so powerful that they shocked Emperor Kang Ren and moved everyone present. What a great wish!

"Good! Good! Good! There will no longer be gun smoke covering the land! This is what I wish for."

Hahahaha... The joy on Emperor Kang Ren's face was beyond words, and his hearty laughter spread throughout the hall.

"I now decree that Yuan Ying shall be appointed as the Minister of Revenue, a second-rank official. I shall also reward him with a mansion, ten thousand taels of gold, fifty rolls of gold silk and fifty servants."

Emperor Kang Ren's majestic voice echoed throughout the hall and reached everyone's ears.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Murong Xuanyi was even more shocked! After knowing that Xiaoying was a girl, he didn't want her to get involved in court affairs.

He thought that his father would at most reward her with some gold, silver and jewelry, but he never expected that he would let her serve as an official in the court.

Yuan Ying was stunned. This old emperor was also a man of temperament. Just because she said a few high-sounding words, he gave her a second-rank official? But she didn't want to get involved in this turbulent politics.

Yuan Ying said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I am not talented enough to take on this important task!"

Emperor Kang Ren's face fell immediately when he heard this and asked, "Why? Are you not satisfied with my reward?"

"Young people don't dare!"

Murong Xuanyi quickly knelt beside Yuan Ying and said, "Father, please calm down! Yuan Ying is not from Xia country, she is afraid of failing the emperor's grace!"

Emperor Kang Ren frowned at the two dazzling red figures kneeling on the ground. He hadn't noticed them before, but now they were kneeling together, and he thought they were paying respects to each other at a wedding!

Emperor Kang Ren pulled the corner of his mouth, softened his tone and said sincerely: "Yuan Ying, my Great Xia needs you. My people need you."

She finally realized that if she didn't agree today, she would probably be punished for disobeying the emperor's order.

Yuan Ying said helplessly: "Thank you for your grace, I am grateful for your kindness. I am willing to do my best to repay Daxia and live up to your grace."

On one hand, it was a reward, on the other hand, it was a punishment. She was not stupid. That's fine! With her own mansion, she wouldn't have to stay at Murong Xuanyi's place. Living in someone else's house was still quite inconvenient.

She would first kill the Shangshu. If it was difficult, she would just return to her female form and run away. Their special forces were very good at disguising themselves in order to complete their missions better. She believed that even Murong Xuanyi would not be able to recognize her after she was disguised.

In just a moment, she had already thought of a way out in her mind.

Emperor Kang Ren's expression did not relax, but his eyes softened a little: "My dear Yuan, please get up and go back to rest for a few days before taking office."

Yuan Ying said calmly: "I obey your order!"

"If there is nothing else, let's adjourn the court." The emperor waved his hand and walked towards the bedroom.

Fuquan shouted to all the court officials: "Dismiss the court..."

"Farewell to the Emperor!" All the ministers knelt down and said in unison.

After the emperor left, all the ministers stood up and left. As soon as they left the palace gate, someone tried to curry favor with Yuan Ying and said, "Congratulations, Lord Yuan. The young are indeed to be feared!"

Yuan Ying didn't care about their flattery, he just wanted to get along with them on the surface.

The prince had a cold face and glanced at Murong Xuanyi, who was wearing a red python robe, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Humph... bringing down his men and replacing them with his own men, this is a really good plan. It depends on whether his men can defend this second rank.

The prince stopped Murong Xuanyi and said, "Old Fifth, where did you find this fair-faced young man? Being an official in the court is not as easy as curing a plague. You might even lose your life if you are not careful."

Murong Xuanyi said with a playful smile: "Thank you for your reminder, my royal brother. Lord Youqian has taken the example of a previous person. I believe that all officials in the court will take it as a warning and be strict with themselves!"

After saying this, he looked at the prince meaningfully and strode away.

The prince's face froze, his eyes were gloomy and furious, filled with endless malice and disgust.

In the carriage, both of them fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere of silence spread throughout the carriage. The sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground was powerful and brisk, but it did not affect Yuan Ying's thinking.

Finally, Murong Xuanyi broke the silence: "Xiaoying, if you don't want to, I will go and talk to my father."

She glanced at him calmly and didn't respond. Yuan Ying was a little annoyed, feeling that many things were slowly getting out of his control. This feeling was not good.
