Chapter 208: See who the Heavens spare
”The Lord Protector brought Pei Yan over,” Shadowbolt hastily reported to Ning Xiaoyao on the Dragon Throne
”Whew,” Ning Xiaoyao exhaled She al to tear the Grand Preceptor into pieces for today
”Your Majesty?” Shadowbolt called softly
”Let the Xiaoyao said ”What if the Grand Preceptor's arranged assassins for them ahead of time?”
The fourth co assassins within the palace walls? Your Majesty, how do you courative black lines running down his face while Ning Xiaoyao blinked a few tiui at the foot of the steps He nodded in turn, having understood Miss Ning's : Pei Yan was here
”Your Majesty?” Grand Preceptor Xie had already talked for ages already, but stopped and called out towards Ning Xiaoyao when he saw that she had no reaction
Ning Xiaoyao patted her ears and said, ”The as too loud, so I didn't hear what you said just then, Grand Preceptor”
”……” said the gathered officials Where can you find ithin the Hall of Golden Chimes?
This wasn't the first ti Xiaoyao, so he wasn't angry He only asked, ”Then Your Majesty means to say that this subject should repeat himself?”
”No need,” Ning Xiaoyao replied ”Our country is so big with plenty of probleht? Let's save time and talk about proper business”
The various officials were still standing in silence Wasn't the Grand Preceptor talking about proper business just then? Look at His Majesty, he can curse people out without using a single sord!
”Your Majesty…” Grand Preceptor Xie began
”Grand Preceptor,” Ning Xiaoyao wasn't going to give hiain ”Look at how ill you are, but you're still worrying about state affairs As the emperor, I'm very touched, ah”
Grand Preceptor Xie had gone to court wearing a black gauze face veil His excuse was that illness had ly to look at, so he didn't want to pollute His Majesty's eyes In Ning Xiaoyao's view, he was si's-head face and being embarrassed
Everyone could tell that His Majesty's words werethe Grand Preceptor, but Grand Preceptor Xie's tone was still as even as before ”This subject thanks your majesty”
Ning Xiaoyao pursed her lips Those who are shameless have no enemies under Heaven He's already invincible
”Your Majesty,” Elder Li spoke up next ”With regards to the Nine Gates Infantry Commander, this subject would like to ask Your Majesty if you have someone in mind?”
”This subject believes that the official of the Minstry of War, Xie Anji, is capable of taking the post,” a person from the Grand Preceptor's faction piped up
”This subject believes in Xie Anji's qualifications as well”
”So does this subject”
”This subject seconds the proposal”
All of the Grand Preceptor'sfor Xie Anji to be the next Nine Gates Infantry Commander
”Alright, alright, alright, enough already,” Ning Xiaoyao waved a hand at the masses called her wise and brilliant to boot ”How co froent ruler if I don't pick Xie Anji for the post?”
A Grand Preceptor faction official quickly fell to his knees ”This subject doesn't dare Your Majesty, we subjects would never dare consider such a thought”
Grand Preceptor Xie sat in his chair and looked at Ning Xiaoyao ”This subject respectfully awaits Your Majesty's royal thoughts”
All of the Grand Preceptor's faction held their breaths Here was the critical moht to the Grand Preceptor's estate to discuss matters related to the Nine Gates Infantry Commander's post Everyone knew exactly what they had to do When Ning Xiaoyao brought up the Lord Protector Pei Yi, they were all to verbally attack the ood-for-nothing, he'd carry that name from this day on
Ning Xiaoyao silently inhaled and said, ”You all know about the old Lord Protector Those who don't, raise their hands I can tell you about him”
nobody raised their hands in the Hall of Golden Chi Xiaoyao was going to no the ex-Lord Protector No exceptions would happen this time, so he steeled his heart
”I've already apologized to the Lord Protector's estate for what happened to the old Lord Protector,” Ning Xiaoyao continued when she saw no one raising their hands ”This Majesty was very touched when the old madame didn't beat me up”
Grand Preceptor Xie replied, ”Your Majesty is the sovereign while she is a subject If she dared to show Your Majesty any disrespect, you could sienerations exterminated”
”Heheh,” Ning Xiaoyao replied That's why I say this bastard's absolutely shameless Who was the one who drove the Lord Protector's estate to ruin in the first place?
The world's evils were contained in her chuckle, but Grand Preceptor Xie didn't react He languidly asked, ”Who does Your Majesty think befitting of the Nine Gates Infantry Commander's post?”
”I think Pei Yan's not a bad choice,” Ning Xiaoyao replied
”Pei Yi, that man…” Grand Preceptor Xie trailed off What did His Majesty just say?
”Pei Yan, ah,” Ning Xiaoyao looked with concern at Grand Preceptor Xie ”Grand Preceptor, is there so with your ears as well?”
Pei Yan? The boy as injured when he was four and turned into an eunuch?
Even Elder Li's faction was stunned by the suggestion, to say nothing of the Grand Preceptor's men How can an eunuch become the Nine Gates Infantry Commander?
