Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 34 Too bad!

Emperor Jingjiang was also in a mess. He waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

In the main hall, all the civil and military officials stood with breathless concentration, not daring to express their anger.

Although Emperor Jingjiang has always been known for his kindness, at this time, who dares to touch the scales of the dragon?

"My dear friends, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Jingjiang's tone was a little cold.

There was silence in the hall. Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked and saw that it was Li Yihao, the master of the East Palace. This Li Yihao is dressed in a white robe, with a slender face and elegant temperament.

He took a step forward, saluted Emperor Jingjiang, glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, and raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty," Li Yihao said, "The prince is still young, inexperienced in the world, and has a sinister heart."

He paused, his eyes blazing, "The prince should stay close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and loyal words are hard on the ears but good for the deed. This is the clear teaching of the ancients."

"If people like Lin Xiaofeng are around the prince all day long, flattering and praising the prince's saintliness and virtue, I am worried that the prince will lose himself."

"In the future, if the prince is in charge of the government and is surrounded by treacherous ministers and refuses to listen to honest advice, it will endanger my country and the country!"

"As the Tutor of the East Palace, I have the responsibility to teach the prince the principles of a saint and teach him to learn the etiquette of a saint. If the prince is surrounded by traitors, I am worried that all my previous efforts will be in vain. Today, even if I am broken into pieces, I will ask your majesty to depose him. Lin Xiaofeng!"

After hearing this, the ministers started talking a lot!

This Li Yihao is indeed the prince's teacher, his words are sonorous and powerful, and his logic is clear!

Let’s see how Lin Xiaofeng responds this time!

Dismissed?

Upon hearing the news, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes instantly lit up with a bright flame, and his whole person seemed to be filled with new vitality.

"What a chance!" he muttered, a smug smile on his lips.

It would be best if he has been dismissed from office.

When he returns to Yangqu County, even if his position as county magistrate is revoked, so what?

In his territory, even if someone else takes office, his status cannot be shaken at all.

Alas, I am really confused. Why did I disobey my father-in-law just now? Wouldn't it be more worry-free to let nature take its course and dismiss me?

Lin Xiaofeng felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.

He originally thought that he would encounter many difficulties in the court, but now it seems that all this will become a reality.

He can return to Yangqu County and continue to be his local emperor, without having to worry about the disputes in the court.

"This Lin Xiaofeng really succeeds more than fails!" Emperor Jingjiang rubbed his temples with a headache. What he valued was Lin Xiaofeng's unique way of thinking, and he wanted the prince to be more inspired.

At first, I expected that Lin Xiaofeng would not be liked by others, but I didn’t expect that as soon as he entered the court, he would say evil words and offend everyone. How would this end?

Seeing that Emperor Jingjiang was silent, Li Yihao became anxious and said, "Your Majesty! If you allow the treacherous ministers to act tyrannically, I'm worried that the prince will develop a violent temper and not have a trace of benevolence! Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

Wang Jingwen's eyelids twitched and he felt something was wrong.

Doesn’t Your Majesty know whether the prince has a benevolent heart?

Why do you need to talk so much? !

Sure enough, Emperor Jingjiang heard this and said calmly: "Yes, I know."

Baiguan trembled after hearing this.

knowledge?

what do you know?

Judging from His Majesty's intentions, it seems that he doesn't want to touch Lin Xiaofeng!

What's so good about that traitorous minister?

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! I think Master Li is right. I have no virtue or talent! Please take back your order!"

what happened? !

The officials were dumbfounded, what's going on?

This boy is obviously superior in military force, and His Majesty also has a preference. Why does he think he has failed now? What is going on? ! ! !

Emperor Jingjiang knew what Lin Xiaofeng was thinking, so he said coldly: "No!"

Lin Xiaofeng secretly thought that he was going to die, and then begged: "I am not qualified to be the Tutor of the East Palace, and I am not popular here and will cause a lot of trouble. Please take back my order!"

Emperor Jingjiang frowned: "My golden words, how can I allow you to accept them as soon as you want! No!"

Lin Xiaofeng plucked up the courage again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please think again!"

what happened?

what happened?

what happened? ! ! !

This time everyone was shocked, Lin Xiaofeng seemed determined to leave!

Your Majesty is so determined to stay, what is going on?

At this time, Chen Shuguang had recovered his breath and looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a complicated expression. Why did he contradict His Majesty?

Emperor Jingjiang is really angry this time!

You have resigned over and over again, just because you want to go back to Yangqu County and be free! I just can't fulfill your wish!

Emperor Jingjiang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, holding the inkstone tightly in his hand, and smashed it at Lin Xiaofeng.

The inkstone instantly shattered to the ground, ink splashed, and part of it even splashed onto Lin Xiaofeng's body.

"You dare to talk nonsense again!" Emperor Jingjiang's face was full of anger and he shouted loudly, "If I don't behead you, how can I calm the ambition in your heart!"

"You deserve the position of Taifu of the East Palace! But if you don't contribute to the country, I will behead you! Do you understand?"

"Retreat!"

After Emperor Jingjiang finished speaking, he shook his sleeves fiercely and turned to leave.

Wang Jingwen and the prince followed closely and also walked out of the hall.

The hall suddenly became quiet, with only Lin Xiaofeng and some bewildered officials remaining.

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Xiaofeng, and they didn't know what to do.

Lin Xiaofeng stood there, silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Retreat...withdraw from the court?!!!"

All the ministers looked at each other, Emperor Jingjiang's behavior today was really abnormal.

They had never seen the emperor so angry, and they had never seen the emperor throw an inkstone directly at a minister.

Everyone turned their attention to Lin Xiaofeng again.

Li Yihao glared at him angrily, and then walked away.

Lin Xiaofeng knew in his heart that his life would probably not be easy in the future.

"Master Bai, what do you mean by your majesty?" Li Qiuyan asked Bai Yongyuan. Bai Yongyuan was also the Crown Prince and Tutor before, so he can be said to be Lin Xiaofeng's predecessor. He has been holding an important position in the court and knows the affairs of the court well.

Bai Yongyuan sighed: "Lin Xiaofeng uses retreat to advance, and his methods are clever. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future. We'd better protect the prince, I'm leaving too!"

After saying that, Bai Yongyuan left the hall with his hands behind his back.

In the main hall, only Lin Xiaofeng and some officials who were at a loss were left.

Lin Xiaofeng's face, which always had a smile in the past, was now covered with a faint layer of melancholy, and there was an inexplicable melancholy in his eyes.

Emperor Jingjiang did not allow him to return to Yangqu County, which made him feel an invisible restraint. Ever since he came to this strange place, he seemed to have been in a mess, offended his fellow travelers, and had been upset every day.

Every time I change places, it's like going through hell, with the difficulty getting higher and higher each time.

He deeply misses his Yangqu County, his relatives and the familiar environment there, but now, he doesn't know when he will be able to return to his hometown.

The more he thought about this, the heavier Lin Xiaofeng's heart became.

He knew that he had no relatives or friends here and had to rely on himself for everything.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of these unnecessary melancholy. Sentimentality could not solve the problem.

Walking outside the palace gate and watching the sun rise slowly, Lin Xiaofeng felt a little more relaxed.

He wanted to light a cigarette and take a sip of wine to relieve his boredom. But now he didn't even have cigarettes or wine, which made him feel a little depressed again.

"Master Lin, you are so clever!" A sinister voice broke the silence.

Lin Xiaofeng turned his head expressionlessly and saw a petty official looking at him with a mocking look.

The man said angrily: "Master Lin's strategy of retreating in order to advance is really wonderful! No wonder you can gain His Majesty's favor."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned: "Who are you?"

The man puffed up his chest proudly: "I am Zhao Zhongzhan, bachelor of Dongge!"

Lin Xiaofeng spat disdainfully, and it happened to hit Zhao Zhongzhan's boots.

Zhao Zhongzhan was taken aback, took a step back, and shouted angrily: "Why are you so rude! You are so polite!"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at him coldly: "Your face has already insulted the word "gentle", stay away from me."

The people around him couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

They thought to themselves that this Lin Xiaofeng was really sharp-tongued and spoke without mercy.

Zhao Zhongzhan sneered: "Mr. Lin looks very calm. Even if you have offended so many people, you still look relaxed and content?"

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at him: "You, a sixth-grade bachelor, dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? Don't you know there is someone above me?"

Zhao Zhongzhan was shocked: "Who is it?"

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled: "That's the prince next to the emperor. He is my closest friend and confidant! He eats and I pick up the food!"

Zhao Zhongzhan suddenly realized that this was the case!

Lin Xiaofeng has such confidence because the emperor loves him so much!

Eunuch Wang must have spoken kind words for him in the emperor's ears! Blow the air!

This Lin Xiaofeng is so shameless. As a scholar, he actually associates with the eunuchs!

Although he despised Lin Xiaofeng in his heart, Zhao Zhongzhan was still frightened by Wang Gonggong's obscene threats.

He knew the prince's position in the emperor's heart, and if he angered him, his future would be ruined.

So Zhao Zhongzhan left in despair.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng no longer wanted to stay here.

So far, he has not seen anyone from the Ministry of Rites to arrange things.

I don’t know where the gate of the East Palace is, so why not find a way to go back early!

Not far away, Wang Jingwen hurriedly caught up with him, his voice filled with awe and urgency: "Master Lin, stay! Master Lin, stay!"

Xiaofeng stopped, turned around, with a cynical smile on his face, and said, "Oh! So it's Brother Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Jingwen was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "This guy is quite familiar." But there was still a smile on his face.

"Master Lin is really rising through the ranks. His Majesty specially summoned him. He is now waiting in the imperial study."

Xiaofeng smiled, put his shoulder on his shoulder casually, and led him towards the crowd.

He took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his pocket and quietly stuffed them into Wang Jingwen's sleeve.

"Brother Wang, Your Majesty summoned me, what's the matter?"

Wang Jingwen calmly pushed the gold back and said with a smile: "I don't know about this either. Master Lin should ask His Majesty himself."

Xiaofeng took out another five hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed it into him again: "It's my first time here. I'm afraid of offending His Majesty. I hope Brother Wang can give me some advice."

Wang Jingwen weighed the banknotes in his hand and thought to himself: "This guy is quite generous." But he said: "It doesn't matter, His Majesty is just giving you a few instructions."

"Master Lin, you'd better go quickly. I still have some chores to deal with." He pointed to a young eunuch next to him, "Just ask him to take you to see His Majesty."

"Hey! Thank you, Brother Wang." Lin Xiaofeng put the five hundred taels of silver notes back into Wang Jingwen's sleeve.

Then he turned and left, leaving Wang Jingwen with a stunned look on his face.

Wang Jingwen touched the gold in his sleeves, looked at Xiaofeng's back, raised the corners of his mouth, and thought to himself: "This person is quite interesting. If he is adopted as his adopted son, it would be a good choice."

････････････････････････････････

In the vast history, every tiny life is like a speck of dust. However, even dust can leave a unique mark in the emperor's study room.

Lin Xiaofeng was standing in front of the imperial study room, straightening his robes, clearing his throat, and standing respectfully.

The door of the study room slowly opened, and the majestic figure of Emperor Jingjiang came into Lin Xiaofeng's eyes.

Emperor Jingjiang is immersed in a mountain of official documents, and his brushstrokes reveal endless majesty and magnanimity.

Lin Xiaofeng stepped into the study, taking every step cautiously. He did not dare to glance around, and could only stare at Emperor Jingjiang's dragon robe, as if this could deeply imprint his majesty in his heart.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After burning the incense, Emperor Jingjiang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly put it down.

He raised his head and looked directly at Lin Xiaofeng, his sharp eyes seeming to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Lin Xiaofeng, can you..." His words were full of majesty.

Lin Xiaofeng was shocked, and he quickly recalled what he had done. He was well aware of the power of Emperor Jingjiang, and he also understood his own situation.

So, he took a deep breath, held out a stack of banknotes in both hands, lowered his head and said, "I am guilty!"

Emperor Jingjiang glanced at the stack of banknotes, and the young eunuch immediately presented them on the case. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said calmly: "Yangqu County has an annual income of more than 80,000 taels in seven years?"

Lin Xiaofeng's heart tightened, and he looked up at Emperor Jingjiang and said nervously: "Your Majesty, this is Yangqu County's seven-year surplus, a total of 86,524 taels. I have invested a lot of funds in the reconstruction of Yangqu County, so I can save money." It’s really not easy to get 80,000 taels.”

"Seriously?" A trace of doubt flashed in Emperor Jingjiang's eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Beads of sweat gradually formed on Lin Xiaofeng's forehead. He knew that his fate was now in the hands of Emperor Jingjiang.

The air in the study seemed to be frozen, so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

Emperor Jingjiang was silent for a long time, as if thinking about something.
