Reborn, meet you again!

Jun Jiuchen's words were extremely harsh and contained an undisguised attempt to make things difficult for him. Upon seeing this, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It was as if a dark cloud hanging over my head suddenly dissipated.

It seems that they were all worrying too much. The Regent didn't have any attack in the past few days. I guess he was waiting for Song Yi to come to court.

Prime Minister Song Yi...

That should be the end of today!

And they just need to add fuel to the fire at the right time.

At this time, Song Yi bowed again and said with some fear.

"Your Majesty the Regent, I dare not harbor such rebellious thoughts."

"It is truly because I am now old and my body is not up to the task, that I have missed your Majesty's coronation ceremony. I feel deeply ashamed."

Song Yi said this and knelt down somewhat "weakly".

"Your Majesty, the Regent, please punish this minister for his dereliction of duty."

Jun Jiuchen looked at Song Yi who was "performing" very naturally in front of him, and secretly complained that this old fox was used to avoiding the important issues.

He did not inform him in advance about what he had discussed with Jiang Wanqiao.

after all……

Today is Song Yi's first day back in court, and he really doesn't want him to get too comfortable...

Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen chuckled and continued to look at Song Yi.

"Prime Minister Song said he was forced to do this due to illness, so why is he asking for apology?"

"If Your Majesty really punishes Prime Minister Song because he is unable to attend court due to illness, wouldn't that earn you the reputation of being harsh?"

"Prime Minister Song keeps saying he has no intention of committing treason, but Your Majesty is young and has just ascended the throne. I wonder where Prime Minister Song intends to put Your Majesty by doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yi lowered his body even more and spoke earnestly.

"I have absolutely no such intention. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart."

"Your Majesty, though young, is like the rising sun, radiant and brilliant. I long for you. It is my lifelong regret that I cannot witness the day when Your Majesty's true dragon is born. How could I, a humble servant, put Your Majesty in an unjust position?"

"I truly feel that as the head of all officials, I should have been leading them when Your Majesty first ascended the throne and all was in need of reconstruction. I should have devoted myself to Your Majesty and the court. However, due to my illness, I have been unable to fulfill my duties, and I am truly uneasy!"

"Your Majesty, by punishing me at this moment, you are fulfilling my loyalty. This is the act of a benevolent ruler, so how can it be considered harsh?"

Seeing that Song Yi was so shameless as to try to curry favor with the emperor, everyone in the court looked at each other with contempt.

He thought that he could use the same tricks he used on the previous emperor again.

Not to mention that the new emperor is still young, just an ignorant kid who won't fall for his tricks. Anyone with eyes can see that the real master of the court is this regent...

Even if he was trying to please, he was targeting the wrong person.

And at this moment, Song Yi's "emotional" voice continued to ring in everyone's ears.

"Fortunately, although I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, Your Majesty has such a wise and courageous person as the Regent to assist him!"

"The Regent repelled foreign enemies first and suppressed internal strife later. His achievements will be remembered for generations to come!"

"As the saying goes, the prosperity of a country lies in its governance; the prosperity of a government lies in the selection of its people. I believe that with your Majesty's wisdom in identifying people and the regent's strategic thinking, our Tianqi will surely achieve peace and prosperity for the country and the people!"

As Song Yi spoke, he raised his hands, bowed respectfully, and bowed deeply to the two people sitting in the upper seats again.

"We, the ministers, will also fulfill our duties and be loyal to Your Majesty. Under Your Majesty's leadership, we will restore the glory of the founding of Tianqi."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

When the ministers heard Song Yi's ups and downs in voice, they thought he was shameless!

Even though they were speechless, Song Yi was still the prime minister after all. Since things had come to this point and he had even mentioned them, they could only bite the bullet and kneel down together, shouting in unison.

"We will each fulfill our duties and serve Your Majesty faithfully."

"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

When the deafening sound resounded through the hall again, all the ministers were in a trance for a moment.

Such a scene...

They were so familiar with it, as if it had happened thousands of times before, but now, in just two months, they were a little uncomfortable.

But the current emperor is not the previous one, so they want to see how long Song Yi can continue to reign.

However, the rebellion that the court officials had expected from Jun Jiuchen did not proceed.

He just looked at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground, taking in everyone's expressions, and suddenly changed the subject.

"In that case, it is I who have misunderstood Prime Minister Song."

"Since Song is so loyal to Your Majesty, if you continue to talk about punishment, it would make Your Majesty and I seem unkind."

"However... the word 'loyalty' is not something that can be expressed with words. Prime Minister Song will have to share more of His Majesty's worries in the future!"

Song Yi immediately said loudly.

"I will definitely do my best."

Seeing this sudden change in the situation, all the ministers were confused.

How come it looks like Jun Jiuchen has no intention of punishing Prime Minister Song?

Then why did he pick it up so high and put it down so gently today?

Amuse them?
