Chapter 254: Not Long, Testing Zhen Huan
He looked like he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to open his mouth.
The emperor frowned and took the initiative to ask.
"Just what?"
"I just feel sorry for the emperor."
"It was clearly Nian Gengyao who was wrong today. Eunuch Su said that subjects should not stand in the middle, but he insisted on standing there without moving."
"Eunuch Su saw this and had someone bring him a chair, but he still stood there motionless. I was angry just seeing him like that. It was really too much."
"It's obvious that it is."
Fu Cha Fu De became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Halfway through his speech, he realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he quickly shut his mouth, not daring to continue.
"Are you taking credit for yourself?"
The emperor naturally would not be angry with Fucha Fude, he was even a little relieved.
After all, Fu Cha Fu De was so angry because he was too loyal to himself.
"It is said that if the master humiliates the minister, he will die. I know that what I did today is wrong, but as the emperor's personal guard, I can't just watch Nian Gengyao do this. If I do nothing, I will be sorry for the emperor's appreciation and promotion of me."
“So even though I know this will anger Nian Gengyao, and I know the emperor will punish me, if it happens again, I will still do it.”
After Fu Cha Fu De finished speaking, he stood there as if ready to be killed.
"Well, if I really blamed you, why would I just fine you three months' salary?"
The emperor felt much more relieved after listening to Fu Cha Fu De's words.
It can be seen that the people I promoted are not all traitors like Nian Gengyao who despise the emperor's authority and commit treason, but also people like Jing'an who are loyal to the emperor.
"Aren't you afraid that Nian Gengyao will cause trouble for you in the future if you do this?"
"You have to know that in the current situation, if Nian Gengyao is determined to cause trouble for you, I am afraid I will not be able to protect you."
The emperor chuckled and asked.
"I am afraid. To be honest, I am afraid. But I think it is not a big deal even if I lose my official position. Anyway, I still have my father to support the family."
"I am still young and will definitely live longer than Nian Gengyao. One day I will be able to return to the court and serve the emperor loyally."
Fu Cha Fu De looked at the emperor honestly and said.
"Don't worry, even if there really comes such a day, I won't let you wait too long."
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Fu De standing in the audience with satisfaction and spoke with a smile.
"I believe in Your Majesty."
Fucha Fude looked at the emperor very seriously and spoke.
Outside.
"Lady Wan is here. I was just thinking of finding someone to pick you up in a warm sedan chair."
Su Peisheng greeted the noble lady Wan with a smile.
"You are too polite, eunuch. Is the emperor in there?"
Zhen Huan asked with a smile.
"The Emperor is waiting for the young lady inside now."
"However, the great general just came today, and the emperor is a little unhappy. My lady, you must be careful in dealing with it."
Su Peisheng looked at Jinxi's face and reminded her.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."
Zhen Huan said with a smile.
After the emperor asked Fu Cha Fu De to leave, he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the heavy snow outside, feeling filled with emotion.
When Zhen Huan came in, she happened to see this scene and carefully bowed to the emperor.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
"You came."
The emperor turned around and waved at Concubine Wan who was lying on the ground, signaling her to get up.
"sit down."
"Is it because I came at a bad time?"
Zhen Huan pursed her lips, looked at the emperor's gloomy expression, and asked cautiously.
"I saw that the emperor looked tired, and I was afraid that I would disturb him."
The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and chuckled.
"I am indeed a little tired."
"I asked you to come here, so how can it be considered a disturbance?"
"Hanhuan, you have always been well-read, I wonder what you think of cliques?"
The Emperor asked Concubine Wan to come here because he wanted to get some advice from her. After all, sometimes starting from the harem is a good idea.
If he had not been in favor of Concubine Hua for many years, Nian Gengyao would not have taken him lightly and really believed in his trust in him.
"I dare not speak recklessly about state affairs."
Zhen Huan's eyes moved. She didn't expect that the emperor would ask her such a question.
This made her feel a little scared and nervous.
The emperor must love and respect me, otherwise he would be willing to discuss politics with me.
Zhen Huan couldn't help but wonder if the Emperor would discuss this with Concubine Xuan?
"It doesn't matter."
"Now there are only you and me in this palace. We are just discussing history books, which cannot be considered as discussing state affairs."
The emperor waved his hand. He naturally saw that Zhen Huan had some thoughts and alleviated her concerns.
"Since Your Majesty has said so, I remember a passage in Ouyang Xiu's On Factions that I found very reasonable."
Since the emperor said so, Zhen Huan didn't think too much about it. After a moment's silence, she spoke.
"What?"
The emperor asked.
"When villains share the same interests..."
“Those who gather for profit will certainly disperse because of unequal distribution of profit.”
After listening to this, the emperor nodded in agreement.
"So in my opinion, this so-called clique is nothing but a mob, nothing at all."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be upset about this."
Zhen Huan spoke the last sentence cautiously. After all, this sentence was somewhat tainted with state affairs. However, she felt sorry for the emperor who was troubled by the matter of Nian Gengyao, so she took the risk and said it out loud.
The emperor stood up and walked in front of Zhen Huan, saying with a smile.
"You are good at talking. Are you saying this to please me?"
"That's all you think about cliques?"
"No other ideas?"
The emperor continued to ask tentatively.
"I don't understand these things. These are just some superficial opinions. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Zhen Huan pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.
The Emperor saw that Zhen Huan had some ideas, but was too concerned to say them out loud.
He had an idea and didn't plan to continue asking questions. Instead, he smiled and changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the emperor who was striding in with some curiosity, and asked as he stood up and saluted.
"Are you not happy that I'm here?"
The emperor reached out and helped the man up.
"Your Majesty, I am naturally happy to have you here."
"I am just curious, Your Majesty, we did not go to Sui Yu Xuan today."
Fu Cha Zhixi pursed his lips and said unhappily.
"Why should I go to Suiyuxuan?"
When the emperor saw that Fucha Zhixi looked jealous, he couldn't help but pinched Fucha Zhixi's nose.
"The emperor is handling government affairs, and the noble lady Wan is by his side, making him look very lucky."
