I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 11 On the Rewards for Deeds
"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task with high quality and obtaining ten life extension pills."

Great Chu Palace, the main hall.

Fan Li stood on the imperial steps and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials together with Xiang Ning.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the civil and military officials of the Great Chu were clearly kneeling on him, not Xiang Ning on the dragon chair behind him.

"Just now, it looked like a tree fell down and the hozens scattered. These weeds on the wall have changed so quickly."

While Fan Li muttered in his heart, he put the Renewing Life Pill into his mouth.

"Hmph! Traitor! During the court meeting, you actually eat in front of me?" Xiang Ning cried just now, but his eyes are still red and swollen.

She was used to being hostile to Fan Li, but she couldn't forget the life-saving grace just now.

Even, this incident caused another emotion to quietly grow in her heart.

She wanted Fan Li to coax herself.

Moreover, every time she cries from now on, Fan Li had better come and comfort her!

"There is something to play, nothing to leave the court." Xiang Ning suppressed the weird thoughts in his heart, and said casually.

"Chen, Ting Wei Song Zhong, I have something to play."

"Play it."

Xiang Ning looked at Song Zhong, who had half-white hair and beard, and still looked forward to it.

This old minister had argued with Fan Li several times in the court meeting, and he always stood firmly on her side, he was regarded as a royalist.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fan Li served me, the emperors of the two dynasties of Chu and Chu, and he has made great achievements. Today, he sacrificed his life to save His Majesty, and he has made great achievements in the world."

"Therefore, I ask your Majesty to reward the Prime Minister generously!"

Xiang Ning frowned upon hearing this.

What happened to this old man today?Actually speaking for Fan Li?
"Fan Li... Xiangfu is already an extremely powerful minister, and riding a horse in the imperial city, worshiping without fame, entering the court without going, and walking on the sword, it seems that I have nothing to reward?"

Xiang Ning was a little restless.

"How does Tingwei think he should be rewarded?"

"Hey." Song Zhong had an old face, ignoring her, but smiled flatteringly at Fan Li.

"Actually, my lords have also mentioned it just now, and I think so. Your Majesty can bestow the prime minister with nine seals and titles..."

When Xiang Ning listened, he was instantly struck by lightning!
She finally realized that her few royalist ministers in the court seemed to be starting to rebel?

Add Jiuxi?
King?
This is obviously just one step away from usurping the throne. Is it time to force myself to take the throne next?
Song Zhong is also a great Confucian who has read poetry and books, how could he not understand this truth?

However, after Song Zhong finished speaking, several more royalist ministers stood up.

"Master Song's words make sense, and I agree with you!"

"Your Majesty also seconded the proposal, please reward Fan Xiang! Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can we ensure the prosperity of Great Chu forever!"

"This is what everyone expects, your Majesty, please look into it!"

Xiang Ning was stunned.

Fan Li was also a little confused.

"These guys have often quarreled with their original owners at court meetings. What's going on today?"

"Shouldn't I just catch the Overlord Spear? How can the deterrent effect of dancing the gun be so great?"

Fan Li couldn't help thinking about it, so he asked the little emperor to borrow the Overlord Spear for fun.

Just borrow it for a few hundred years, and bring it with you every time you go to court, to see which minister dares to disobey yourself?
Xiang Ning was still unwilling.

She gritted her teeth and said: "Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, there has never been a precedent of conferring the title of King of the opposite sex. Do you mean to force me to become the unworthy descendant of Emperor Taizu by admonishing me like this?"

Fan Li shook his head after hearing this.

"Too tender, speaking so bluntly, completely exposing my emotions... The little emperor still needs training."

Fan Li was also a middle-level leader in his unit in his previous life.

One of his lessons learned as a leader: During meetings, no matter what weird remarks colleagues or subordinates make, don’t deny them directly.

The leader's speech must be pleasing to the ears of the listeners and achieve his own goals. This is a technical job!

When he shook his head, he was seen by the ministers kneeling under the imperial steps.

Song Zhong hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty! There is no precedent for me to be named king of the opposite sex, just because there has never been anyone as accomplished as Prime Minister Fan! Your Majesty must not hesitate, and changes will happen if you delay!"

Xiang Ning almost passed out when he heard smoke coming out of his seven orifices.

"The traitor bullies me, mostly verbally. When something really happens, the traitor can stand up and ask me to share the burden."

"You bastards, seeing that Fan Li can use the Overlord Spear, it's clear that you have completely abandoned me, and you want to give your allegiance to Fan Li immediately?"

"As long as Fan Li doesn't rebel, how dare you bully me?"

Xiang Ning could only vent in his heart.

She didn't want to agree, but she didn't dare to refuse.

Especially, she didn't know what Fan Li was thinking at the moment.

"If the traitor asks for reward in person, I really have no choice but to agree..."

The atmosphere in the court fell into awkwardness for a moment.

Fan Li didn't speak, he only cared about when the system would release the task.

If there is no mission, he would rather be a wooden pile and not care about the little emperor and ministers' troubles.

"I'm just a ruthless mission machine." Fan Li said in his heart.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Suddenly, the empress dowager came.

Eunuch Chen, the chief eunuch and the number one master in the palace, led the way. Surrounded by dozens of palace maids and young eunuchs, the Empress Dowager of Da Chu slowly entered the main hall.

The Queen Mother's momentum was much stronger than Xiang Ning's, and Eunuch Chen was even more prestigious as the top master in the palace.

Song Zhong and several other ministers immediately knelt down on the ground and dared not make a sound when they saw the Queen Mother Fengjia.

"The Ai family just heard that someone threatened His Majesty?" the Empress Dowager said quietly.

Her eyes glanced directly at Song Zhong and others, but not at Fan Li.

Song Zhong and the others began to visibly tremble with the naked eye!
Those ministers who did not speak also broke into cold sweat unconsciously.

After the death of the late emperor, the empress dowager and Eunuch Chen were the young emperor's biggest supporters.

Fan Li, on the other hand, looked all right.

In the court, all the civil and military officials are practitioners. He only has the realm of body refining, so he is undoubtedly the weakest.

But even if he didn't practice before, what would the royal family of Chu dare to do?

"The Empress Dowager wants to make an example of others... Cough, warn me?" Fan Li thought in his heart.

"Queen Mother, it was Tingwei Song Zhong who was disrespectful to Your Majesty just now." Eunuch Chen's strange voice echoed in the hall.

"I'm guilty! I made a mistake!"

Song Zhong quickly kowtowed.

The queen mother smiled and nodded: "Since Song Zhong admits to the crime, then act according to the laws of Da Chu."

"Yes."

Still only Eunuch Chen was answering.

The old eunuch suddenly shook off the floating dust. Before Song Zhong could react, he felt a dark wind passing through his body.

Then, his court clothes suddenly burst and turned into pieces of rags all over the floor.

Song Zhong was dressed in white and knelt on the spot with disheveled hair.

"Come here, put Mr. Song into the sky prison, awaiting trial."

As soon as Eunuch Chen finished speaking, two big inner guards came in and retreated with Song Zhong, who was in a state of desperation.

"Mother."

Xiang Ning stood up from the dragon chair, a little happy and a little worried.

Fan Li was also curious, did the Queen Mother really come to fall out with him today?
But the Queen Mother didn't bother Fan Li.

"Your Majesty, there is good news. The emperor Taizu's mount, Wuzhui, was originally transformed by a black flood dragon at the bottom of the Wujiang River. After the founding of the Taizu, Wuzhui returned to Wujiang River to practice the art of transforming a dragon."

"Recently, Wu Hao has successfully transformed into a dragon. If His Majesty can subdue Wu Hao, he will surely be able to comfort the spirits of the past emperors..."
