Chapter 45
Regarding the one calling the shots for the assassins, even though fro who’s hiding back in Luoyang, but…already knows that I don’t have any martial arts
Of the current three major factions in the Court: The Waiqi want to exploit the little Emperor to vie for power, so they naturally wouldn’t do thisEven if the Qingliu wanted to deceive the world and take false credit, rebellion is out of the questionFrom the perspective of others, the one who’s most likely to usurp the throne is me, and yet I forfeited my life to save the EmperorAlso, I knoasn’t me
Then… does that mean for certain that there’s a force at work I don’t know about?
I feel as if there’s dark clouds pressing down in the distant horizonNothing good will cohs down heavily
This my most intense battle within the Court to dateThe Waiqi started to launch an extre that we ‘disregarded countrywide laith illegal intent’, ‘stuck our ruler into severe danger’, and said nothing less than that ere planning to rebel against the state
My clique jumped out to defend reatly co a role liu smartly keep their silence
The scope of the Waiqi’s attack gradually narrows in on me, as expected, and doesn’t an to heat up, and the ad ho each other’s dirty laundryI getforward, walking to the front of the i to my knees with a plop“This servant did not think that h with proper considerationHis behavior was beyond propriety, and he sent to our great ruler into dangerA hundred deaths would not be enough to redeem his crimePlease enact the nine familial exterminations on him, Your Majesty”
There was a esture of humility to advance forward and add a bit of iardless of what the situation is
However, I hadn’t expected that the little Emperor, who’d always acted as a e fro was acting upon our orders to bring us out, risking his life to save usSubject Zhang is without fault”
The tiny child used a lot of power to speak loudly, his juvenile voice reverberating all throughout the hall with shi+ning righteousness, extreloonityTears nearly fill up reat efforts were not in vain
Could it be that while I see the profound influence of traditional Chinese scholars in my bones, as in ‘the scholar should be an official after finishi+ng his studies‘? That the ‘studying the arts of war and literature for the emperor to appreciate’ that Jinzi wasn’t interested in actually very appealing tothat the Emperor actually spoke up, all the court chancellors on the scene immediately lost their heads out of panic
An Ee in politicsIt’s also really rare for the sitting seven-year-old child to express his opinion
The very first to react was Gao YushuHe stepped forward and threw hithe loyal fro frorets”
The Waiqi waste quite so
Zhou Zizhu came up, knelt down atare equally young, our conduct capricious, yet Sir Zhang sacrificed himself in a critical situationHis deed more than makes up for itPlease punish this servant alone for his crime, Your Majesty”
I see out of the corner ofat Zhou Zizhu with a perpetual frownZhou Zizhu looks straight ahead and not at his teacher
I liu are planning? They wanted to say that Zhou’s na he was powerless to stop me, ith for lack of a better option, and so on, at that ti all the mistakes onto meZhou Zizhu would, at most, have ‘handled it inadequately’
Now Zhou Zizhu wasn’t willing to do that, so of course Gu Yunzhi has a big scowl on his faceBut now there’s nothing to be done about it; Qingliu also has to join in the debateThe Waiqi went up against li’s old foxes that normally played it safe spoke up for meIt was a matter of course that our side ended up victorious
As a result, I was to forfeit three months’ salary due to ‘improper conduct’However, due to ifted the color purple as well as a jade belt [1], which is naturally a supreme special honorZhou Zizhu was demoted and moved to the Censorate, become the Imperial Censor’s Internal Aide [2]I also know that it’ll be a given that the Qingliu will push for Zhou Zizhu to be the top I apprehending the assassins, there’s naturally no division aation of thisboth the Ministry of Justice and the Nine Gates Infantry Commander to be dispatched; and that they had better catch the murderer quickly, as there’s a time limit ten daysGao Yushu repeatedly wipes the sweat off his brow, seenment isThe Gates Commander was called to the palace courtyard, as due to the recent endless swarood
This has naturally caused soroups worryI can say that I’ve obtained a pretty good political advantage after the cliff-hanging incident, and the Waiqi and Qingliu each have their own plots with their own gains and lossesHowever, after ithdrew fro over the account books in the Office of Eunuch Affairs, an urgent report to palace struck everyone with a bolt of lightning from a clear sky simultaneously
The Yellow River is a Mother River, and there are of course countless people who have evaluated its pros and cons, and they differ fro opinionsHowever, its reputation as one of the most difficult to control rivers in the world is not one that anyone will likely dissent toThe vast amount of sediment it carries turns it into a suspended riverEvery year, there’s always floods both big and s several counties
However, the flooding within the Gui E particularly early, and particularly violently
Suun yet and there haven’t beenCounty’s da counties and subht
Everyone lost their voice for a moment
Natural disasters and ar crises that can shake a country’s foundationThis is the first tie event
In the rean to talk all at once about how to resolve this, but they don’t have any properforth any sort of conclusionI end up saying, “First order close-by offices to open up the government storehouses and send relief supplies, then order the nearest to rush to the eency aid and handle this incident, we all should go hootiate thisCourt torabbed their brushes to write i a greater pressure than I had during any significant investment mistakes the time beforeFurthermore, it’s an area that I’m unfamiliar with, and the concerns are sohelpless is hard to escape from
After the cacophony in the Office of Eunuch Affairs took up half the day, I went to the Yangxin Hall to see the E in a chair as I went in, head bowed slightly
I’ve always liked the appearance of this kid seated upon this tall official’s hat chair, because as the chair’s legs are too tall, his own can’t touch the groundYet he doesn’t kick his little legs like other children do, instead sitting up straight as baibleI can’t stopin my mind every ti for me today, however
The Eure unspeakably despondent and dis towards hiave aThis is awfully rare for the Emperor, who normally speaks with complete adherence to proper etiquette
I crouch down in front of hi my hand on his tiny knee, and said with even more softness, “What’s happened to you, Your Majesty? If you speak it, this servant will share your worries”
The Emperor raised his head, little face full of sorrow, his pretty black eyes also having lost sorave?”
AhHe already knowsNews spreads quickly
I gulped, thinking over what to say, when he spoke again“The expenses of our Inner Palace can be reduced, and maids can be sent away” He looks at me earnestly
My heart war that isThe Erowth of this generation’s wise ruler
“Your Majesty,” I said as I gently encircled hiive this servant for his indiscretion, but you are still a childYou don’t need to worry about these things, just hand it over to the adultsThis servant will handle it on your behalf… Your Majesty just needs to grow up quickly, study well, and becoood Emperor that loves the people as he would his own children as soon as you can”
“Okay” The E his head intothis boy with his childish scent, as he’s of the i to hold him like an ordinary childMoreover, he has a precocious pride, so there’s nor other than the equivalent of a aniss, though
I ehtlyHis downy hair tickles h my back
A kid like this… I really can’t help but protect and cherish him in spite of the risk
“Your Majesty, this servant is determined to defend the land and state for you, and ait until you’ve grown to hand it over to you in person” I speak gently and resolutely into his ear
No ers, or how many oppose me, or the prices I’ll have to pay
