Chapter 63: Too ostentatious! The Emperor's fatal trifecta
However, the emperor naturally had no idea what Jiang Chen was thinking.
Soon, the morning court ended .
Jiang Chen was just about to go to the harem with the emperor.
But he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Master Jiang, please stay!"
Jiang Chen held his body still and saw that the person who called him was none other than him.
It was Prime Minister Xu Tao.
The emperor also heard the sound.
Glancing at Jiang Chen.
He is very easy to talk to.
"Go ahead. The Prime Minister has a lot to say to you."
Jiang Chen bowed to the emperor.
"yes!"
Then he walked towards the Prime Minister.
But it was only a short month.
The Prime Minister suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.
Walking up to him, Jiang Chen bowed to him.
"Master Xu."
Xu Tao quickly helped Jiang Chen up.
"Master Jiang, please stand up quickly."
"I have nothing else to do, I just want to ask."
"Is Princess Zhuhua all right on the road?"
There were only two of them left in the huge hall.
Jiang Chen just felt that the man in front of him was a little pitiful.
He answered meaningfully.
"Princess Zhuhua is doing well on the journey, although she misses home."
"But I also know what is more important."
“So, everything is good.”
Xu Tao's eyes gradually turned red.
Bow to Lord Jiang.
He said in a deep voice.
"Now that I know she is safe, I feel relieved."
I shook my head in my heart.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but say in his heart.
"How can it be bad?"
"The one who went in your daughter's place was another unlucky fellow."
"At this moment, your daughter is enjoying delicious food and drinks in my house."
"I'm looking forward to meeting you!"
As if by coincidence, Xu Tao's eyes were full of sadness.
He smiled at Jiang Chen and said very sadly.
"After this separation, we may never meet again in this life."
Jiang Chen looked at Xu Tao.
Different from Chen Huai's high-spirited spirit.
Xu Tao is mostly modest and rational.
Even though she rarely spoke in the court, she still occupied an important place in the emperor's heart.
Such a sad prime minister.
This was the first time Jiang Chen had seen him.
"Master Xu."
"I have heard a saying."
"It is said that if the two of them are really destined to be together, they will definitely meet again."
"Flowers may bloom again, and people may meet again."
"Perhaps Lord Xu and the person he met will meet again."
Xu Tao forced out a smile that was more embarrassing than crying.
"Thank you for your comfort, Lord Jiang."
Jiang Chen looked at his expression.
I couldn't help but blurt out.
"Master Xu, you seem to be in an even worse mood."
Xu Tao: “…”
He didn't know how to respond to this for a moment.
After a long pause, Xu Tao said to Lord Jiang.
"Lord Jiang is busy with his affairs, so I won't bother you."
Jiang Chen also followed suit.
"If Lord Xu wants to know more about Princess Zhuhua's journey."
"Why don't we meet again some other day?"
"I heard that the dishes made by Lao Ba Secret Restaurant in the capital are excellent."
Xu Tao nodded.
"Then let's make an appointment another day."
After that, the two of them bowed to each other.
Then they left.
A lot of what Jiang Chen said just now was extremely vague.
Therefore, even if someone was watching, it would just appear that the two were having a normal conversation.
He hurried all the way to the imperial study.
As soon as Jiang Chen entered the room, he bowed deeply to the emperor who was sitting on the warm couch.
"Your Majesty, I miss you so much!"
The emperor's face suddenly showed a smile that was awkward rather than polite.
"Oh, is it so?"
Jiang Chen nodded quickly.
"It is absolutely true, Your Majesty!"
The emperor raised an eyebrow.
"Then describe how much you miss it."
This is a good question.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown, then thought about it.
"My longing for you is like the rolling waves of a long river."
The emperor closed the book in his hand.
"I know your intention."
"How was the journey? Was there any trouble ?"
He told the emperor everything he had seen and heard along the way.
Jiang Chen's descriptions of various scenes are extremely detailed.
"Just say that day, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse."
"I am looking at the moon and thinking about the emperor who is far away."
"Suddenly, I saw a few sesame seeds appear on the moon."
"I thought, could it be that the moon also likes to eat sesame cakes?"
"However, after a while, I discovered that those sesame seeds were actually assassins!"
"Where have I ever seen such a scene?"
"So he started to scream and shout in fear..."
Just as Jiang Chen was describing the story vividly.
The emperor finally put down the teacup in his hand.
Interrupted what Jiang Chen was saying.
"Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen let out a sigh.
"The servant is here!"
The emperor looked at him and said sincerely.
"It's a shame if you don't use your talent as a storyteller!"
Jiang Chen nodded and bowed quickly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
"I will continue to work hard."
In an instant, a trace of helplessness flashed across the emperor's face.
Facing Jiang Chen, he changed the way he asked questions.
"How did General Chen Huai perform along the way?"
Hearing this question, Jiang Chen's expression became more serious.
Replied.
"I thought so."
"General Chen Huai is very loyal and his leadership level is very steady. He is worthy of being a veteran with many years of experience."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen observed the emperor's expression.
The emperor's eyes became increasingly profound.
There was actually a hint of playfulness at the end.
After praising Chen Huai a lot, Jiang Chen finally pointed out Chen Huai's shortcomings.
"But I think that Chen Huai has made great contributions despite his hard work."
"But he is also very arrogant and looks down on others."
"But I think that although Chen Huai is a little arrogant, it is also very normal."
"Our Xia country is vast and its people are simple and honest."
"As a mighty general of the Xia Kingdom, it's normal for him to be proud."
These words made the emperor fall into deep thought.
While playing with the beads in his hand, the emperor was thinking about something.
After a long time, he said to Jiang Chen.
"General Chen Huai has led troops for many years."
"And it is normal to stretch out high."
"Especially the Silver Armored Army in our hands, which is invincible."
"I am very proud that a minister can lead such excellent soldiers."
Jiang Chen's heart was shocked.
He remained very calm and did not answer.
Damn it.
This doesn't sound like a good thing.
Could it be that this dog emperor is eyeing the military power in Chen Huai's hands?
In order to compete with the Queen Mother, he wanted to seize some power from the ministers!
"Jiang Chen, what do you think?"
The emperor's light words brought Jiang Chen out of his thoughts.
Jiang Chen blurted out almost immediately.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I just think everyone in the world should be at your service!"
There was a smile on his face that was not a smile.
The emperor asked.
"Then how about letting Chen Huai work for me?"
Jiang Chen has lived for so long.
I have never experienced such a great test.
"Your Majesty, please stop joking with me."
"Chen Huai is the emperor's subject, so he is naturally used by the emperor."
"Concubine Chun and Chen Huai are both your concubines and subordinates, so they can't have second thoughts!"
Hearing this, the emperor stroked his chin, a thoughtful look on his face.
"you are right."
