Chapter 1032 My Pighead 9 is the Most Handsome Man in the World
Emperor Wenxuan listened carefully to the censor's long and impassioned speeches, nodding slightly from time to time.
The censors looked at each other and nodded, thinking that the new emperor had listened to their opinions, and they were very pleased.
Although the new emperor was young and full of vigor, he was ultimately a wise ruler who listened to advice. It didn't matter if he made mistakes, as long as he was willing to reform himself, he would be a good emperor loved by the people.
If every emperor could listen to advice like this, the censors' jobs would be much easier.
After the censors left, Emperor Wenxuan called out a name, "Lord Jiang!"
At least three Lord Jiangs came out from the sidelines.
Emperor Wen Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he announced a name, "My dear Jiang Fang!"
"Your humble servant is here." Jiang Fang stepped out steadily, and the other two officials with the surname Jiang returned to their seats silently.
"I am reading the imperial documents," the emperor tapped the imperial desk with his fingertips, "You have been sent as an envoy to various countries nine times?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Jiang Fang waved his sleeves and bowed deeply. "I am a dull and incompetent minister, but the court has not abandoned me. I have indeed carried out the imperial order nine times and traveled to various states with the Northern Wing's banner."
"Then tell me, what is the difference between visiting foreign countries in the past and visiting foreign countries now?" Emperor Wen Xuan quietly opened the small note and took a look at it. He straightened his back and felt that he, the puppet, performed quite well.
"I... am ashamed." Jiang Fang choked up a little, crouched deeper, his sleeves hanging down like a bird with broken wings. "When I was sent to Wan as an envoy, I... could not bear the humiliation, and cried bitterly every night. I know that I am too narrow-minded to take on the responsibility of the country, so I only beg to return home with my bones to save my broken body."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly straightened his back, like a dry pine shaking off the snow, with a blazing light in his eyes, "But the Supreme Emperor did not abandon my rotten body, and personally summoned me to the capital, so that I could see the envoys of Wan trembling on the steps, and the countries re-delivered their letters! Wherever the flags of the Northern Wing go, we will no longer bend our knees!"
“Mr. Jiang, you might as well explain it in detail so that all the civil and military officials in the court, especially the ministers of the Censorate, can hear it clearly.” Emperor Wenxuan looked at him with a sharp gaze, full of majesty.
Instantly, the ranks of the imperial censors were all shaken, as if struck by thunder. Everyone's ears pricked up, and the sweat on the back of the neck of the younger vice minister had soaked through the collar of his scarlet robe.
Although Jiang Fang did not understand the emperor's intention, it did not prevent him from vividly describing the humiliation he had suffered that year, such as "taking off his sword and boots, and entering the palace barefoot", which made all the civil and military officials in the court change color.
In fact, this matter was not new to the old ministers in the palace, but they still looked annoyed when they heard about it; on the contrary, the new officials were horrified and could not believe that such a thing could happen!
It’s so deceiving!
Jiang Fang looked away and turned to talk about his visit to various countries today. Wherever he went, the central gate was opened, nine guests were set up, and he was treated with the courtesy of a state hero.
He concluded in a deep voice, "The courtesy shown by the various nations is not out of respect for Jiang Fang, but out of fear of the direction of my northern wing's sword. All nations bow down to me."
Emperor Wen Xuan slammed the table heavily, "Jiang Qing said it well!"
He stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking down at the ministers, and finally his eyes fell on the line of imperial censors, "What is Heaven's majesty? It is the nine-fold ceremony of honoring ministers when our Northern Wing envoys go on diplomatic missions to other countries! It is the food and clothing that feed our Northern Wing people! It is the children at the border who are born without knowing what war is! It is the law of our Northern Wing that when the emperor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people! This! Is Heaven's majesty!"
Sparks were ignited in the chests of civil and military officials. Looking at the spirited young emperor, they all knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"
Emperor Wenxuan waved his sleeves and shook the palace with his voice, "The country is not prosperous. Even if I sit in the Mingtang every day and restrain myself, can I show the majesty of heaven?"
The young emperor's face was stained with anger. "I am only sixteen years old! The Empress is not even thirteen yet! Common girls of this age are picking mulberry leaves on the roadside, fighting with grass by the stream, and catching butterflies and having fun in the spring!"
He was heartbroken, "And my queen was criticized by you guys for laughing a few times in the imperial garden! This deep palace can lock up the phoenix, but it can't lock up the nature of a child! I just wanted her laughter to drown out the sound of the chains in this deep palace. I would like to ask the officials of the Imperial Censorate, what have I done wrong? How have I damaged the majesty of the emperor?"
The officials of the Censorate were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale after being yelled at by the young emperor.
The old ones' teeth were chattering, and the young ones were trembling with fear.
"I think if the Censorate is really too idle—" Emperor Wenxuan snatched the "Collection of Impeachment Memorials" from the attendant, and the memorials fell on the steps like snowflakes, "Why not all of them take off their ribbons and return to the fields! After all, we can plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and even give my queen a basket of fresh fruits as tribute!"
The young emperor turned around with a flick of his sleeves, his dragon robe sweeping across the memorials on the ground, sneering, "It's better than what I am doing now, just imitating that gossipy village woman, staring at my queen all day to see if she is laughing or crying... Humph! Dismiss the court!"
Emperor Wenxuan left with a flick of his sleeves. When he reached the palace gate, he looked at the note in his hand and found that the process had not been completed. After thinking about it, he stepped back and said, "Mr. Shi, step out!"
Shi Yunqi took a step forward.
Emperor Wen Xuan stood on the jade steps with his hands behind his back, his eyes as sharp as a blade, "My dear minister Xiao Changle, step out! Lu Sangyu, step out! Gu Boyan! Zhao Liren! Yan Xingchen! Step out!"
The officials in red robes all stepped out when their names were called. Although most of them were newly promoted officials, they had shown strong character and were worthy of being the mainstays of the court.
"I order you to redesign the duties of the Censorate," the young emperor said calmly, "The old system is outdated and wastes the national treasury. You don't do any real work all day long! Humph!"
Emperor Wenxuan waved his sleeves and left again, hurried all the way to the Qingshou Palace.
Wei Pingting and Shi Anxia were waiting for him in the palace.
Upon hearing that the emperor had returned, Wei Pingting hurried out to greet him, "Zhu Tou Jiu, how are you? Are you looking decent today?"
"Of course!" Emperor Wenxuan walked along, vividly describing how he was awe-inspiring in the court without getting angry, and how he shocked the court. "But my sister has written too many lyrics, and I can't memorize them all. There were several times when I forgot the lyrics! I got stuck and glanced at them a few times, but it didn't affect the overall situation. Hehe!"
"Zhutoujiu, you are the best puppet ever!" Wei Pingting circled around her husband a few times, "Handsome! My Zhutoujiu is the most handsome in the world!"
"Of course!" Zhu Tou Jiu walked out with a step that was as if he didn't recognize any of his relatives. Only when he saw Shi Anxia and the others did he restrain himself and stepped forward to salute, "Meet the Emperor, meet the Empress Dowager, meet the Imperial Sister."
Xiao Yunde and Tang Chujun's faces were flushed.
Xiao Yunde cleared his throat, "The little bastard has left the court! How do you feel today?"
"Nothing!" Emperor Wen Xuan became alert.
My father is cunning, I won't fall for your tricks! Don't try to trick me into sitting in the court forever!
He asked, "When will the emperor attend court?"
Xiao Yunde laughed twice, "Almost there!"
Emperor Wen Xuan looked at his father's worthless smile and sneered in his heart. Is it fast or happiness?
Anyway, don't try to fool me: "How fast is fast?"
Xiao Yunde raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with you sitting in the court for a few days, little bastard?"
Emperor Wen Xuan would never be fooled. "How many days is it? Give me an exact number."
Xiao Yunde didn't raise his eyebrows this time, but raised his hand to hit someone.
Emperor Wenxuan hid behind his little queen, "Hurry up, father wants to hit me!"
Wei Pingting stamped her feet in anger. "Great, great, Pighead, I finally see your true colors! So you are this kind of person... Wow, I want to go home, I want to go back to my parents' home..."
