"No, I didn't give you any advice, and I won't give you any advice." Lin Xu shook his head: "It's all your own imagination."
"What I want is people who can do things and are willing to do things, not those who only know how to flatter."
"If you don't do well, I will kill you. This is no joke."
You Jiuli's body trembled and she suddenly realized.
Indeed, it is the dream of many people to serve the current Saint.
Jiuli Chamber of Commerce wants to use half of its income in exchange for the Holy Emperor's curtain. Is this possible?
To put it bluntly, anyone is willing to do it, so why choose her.
Is it based on my own appearance?
She might have had this idea before, but thinking about it now, it was just wishful thinking.
Putting aside the fact that His Majesty only wanted to rescue the victims, even if there were no victims, how could a majestic man like her fall in love with her, a promiscuous woman who has been exposed to the public all year round.
The reason why the Holy One chose Jiuli Chamber of Commerce was probably because of the brown rice.
Yesterday, she saw the Holy One eating brown rice with her own eyes. In fact, she should have thought of it at that time.
Unexpectedly, she, who prides herself on being smart, was confused about this.
Although the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce is not as rich as the other two major chambers of commerce, it still has its own advantages.
That is to rise from a humble beginning and often interact with the people.
Although it is still difficult to obtain 500,000 shi of brown rice, at least it is not impossible to see hope.
You Jiuli left the palace and hurried back.
....
The next day, I went to the palace.
The court, which should have been solemn and majestic, was now as noisy as a market.
Hundreds of ministers were talking about it.
What they were discussing were two major events that happened yesterday.
First, the Duke of Zhen was ill and was forced to stay in the palace by the Queen Mother. No one was allowed to patrol for fear of disturbing the Duke's rest.
But whoever is above the court is not a human spirit, otherwise he would not be qualified to stand here.
They smelled something unusual for the first time.
But the specific reason is unknown.
The second thing was that Xue Mansion's secret prison encountered an assassin, and hundreds of former Anwu guards were missing.
As for the Xue family, hundreds of people were killed or injured, but not even a hair of the assassin was left behind.
It was rumored that there was a land god among the assassins, so even the Xue family did not dare to act recklessly and could only watch them leave.
Land gods appeared and openly intervened in court affairs.
Starting today, the entire imperial city is filled with panic and undercurrents.
No one knows who this land god is, which party he belongs to, whether he is an enemy or a friend.
But one thing is for sure, they are not from the Xue family. Because Anwuwei escaped, it would do all harm to the Xue family but no benefit.
Many people regard Mu Jiushan as a suspect.
It's a pity that things have been quiet in the Mu family since last night.
Even in the court, Mu Jiushan and his close ministers still did not reveal any clues.
Just standing quietly in a corner, in sharp contrast to the noisy discussion.
Mu Jiushan, with a sturdy build and dark skin, looked like an iron tower standing there.
He was a head taller than the tallest person in the court and looked intimidating.
There was a faint evil aura all over his body.
That was honed over many years in the military.
Mu Jiushan, known as the "God of War", was able to defeat the enemies he killed on the battlefield.
Since he took charge of the army, the border of Qianwu State has been calm and has not been harassed by any foreign enemies.
This shows his ability and strength.
Mu Jiushan's strength is at the peak of the Grand Master, and I heard that he is not far from the land gods.
With this strength, you will be called a guest wherever you go.
Even those vassal kings with evil intentions have to give Mu Jiushan a bit of a soft face and not easily betray him.
"General Mu, there were assassins in the Zhenguo Palace, and even the legendary land gods appeared. What do you think?"
A fat man with a big belly clasped his fists and laughed.
His name is Ma Yuheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is the number one supporter of Zhen Guogong.
In charge of the entire Qianwu Kingdom's money bag.
Xue Rong was not here, so he was the only one who dared to step forward and ask.
Because the army under Mu Jiushan still had to rely on him. After all, without the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate money and food, it would be useless no matter how many people the Mu family's army had.
Even terrestrial gods can't really stop eating.
"How else can you see? See with your eyes. It's a pity that the Xue family was not wiped out. Those assassins are so rubbish."
"If it were me, I would definitely slaughter the Xue family first and then talk about it."
Mu Jiushan opened his copper bell-like eyes and showed no mercy in his mouth.
The other ministers' mouths twitched, and Mu Jiushan was probably the only one in the entire court who dared to say this.
"General Mu, this is the court, and there are so many people watching. Do you admit that you sent someone to do it?" Ma Yuheng said in a deep voice.
"Haha, I'm sorry. If I knew the land gods, could I still let you be an eyesore in front of me?"
Mu Jiushan glared with a fierce glare, instantly frightening Ma Yuheng and taking a few steps back.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Ma Yuheng immediately adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath and said, "If it's not, then it's not. Why should General Mu be angry?"
Although Mu Jiushan's words were a bit vulgar.
But Ma Yuheng believed it.
Because Mu Jiushan was right, if he knew the land gods, people like himself would have been exterminated long ago.
There are people in Mu Jiushan who are powerful. Even if he is placed as a local emperor in any place, there is no need to look at the face in the court.
If it weren't for the fear that those vassal kings would take the opportunity to find Qing Jun, they would have taken action long ago.
And a land god is enough for him to give up any worries.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
A sharp sound sounded, and after a brief silence, the people in the court continued their discussion.
He didn't pay any attention to Lin Xu who walked out of the back hall.
Lin Xu sat on the dragon chair above, looking at the ministers below who were talking about their own affairs, with no expression on his face.
Now we still need to be patient.
Even though Dongchang has established a firm foothold, it is still not enough in the face of absolute strength.
For example, Mu Jiushan's Mu family army.
Although Dongchang is strong, he is not good at fighting head-on.
If you dare to get carried away now, you will definitely die miserably.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
The sharp sound sounded again, and now the ministers did not dare to make mistakes.
They all arranged their bodies and knelt on the ground.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother! She may live a thousand years!"
Xue Jingruo walked in from the front door.
Today, she is wearing a golden court dress. She is noble and unconventional, and she is stunning in the country.
Like a peerless empress, she exudes majesty, and even Mu Jiushan can't help but look dignified.
"My son, please see your mother!" Lin Xu also stood up and saluted.
"Let's all stand up!" The Queen Mother walked to the dragon chair, looked at Lin Xu and said, "Your Majesty, do you want the Ai family to stand?"
Lin Xu was stunned and immediately shouted: "Come here, bring a chair for the Queen Mother."
This is Xue Jingruo helping him build momentum.
In the past, she would have sat directly on the dragon throne. As for him, naturally he could only stand.
When the ministers below saw this scene, their pupils tightened. Lin Xu could see it, but they couldn't.
The Queen Mother is actually creating momentum for this puppet. What does she want to do? What is the use of a puppet seeking momentum?
Moreover, the Queen Mother is the biological daughter of Xue Rong, the Duke of Xue family.
If the emperor gains power, the Xue family will be the first to be liquidated.
She wants to drive her family to a dead end! ?
