Chapter 613 Reward? Give me something practical
At this time, everyone was arguing loudly.
"Stop! Allow me to say a few words! Right now, there is no other way. I have to reluctantly serve as the regent. We can discuss other matters after we find Prince Jing! Anyone who has any objection please stand up!" Prince Hong thought that once he took this position, Prince Jing would never be able to come back.
There was total silence below.
"I don't agree! You are a prince..." Someone objected, but his neck was cut before he could finish his words.
"Who else disagrees?" Prince Hong looked at them with a sneer.
The faces of the court officials were gloomy and no one dared to speak.
Just when Prince Hong thought he had won, a voice broke his complacency: "Uncle, I'm back!"
"It's King Jing! King Jing is back!" All the ministers shouted excitedly.
"Prince Hong, now that Prince Jing is back, we don't have to worry about it anymore, and we don't have to bother you to supervise the country."
King Jing walked forward slowly.
The smile on Prince Hong's face froze, and then he revealed a sinister expression: "If that's the case, then I won't pretend anymore! I'll take this position today!"
"Prince Hong, are you planning a rebellion?!"
"So what? I have 50,000 troops under my command. Even if I want to rebel, what can you do to me? Hahaha! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
"Really? Uncle? Then it was you who slandered me and old Duke Chen for treason, right?" King Jing said calmly.
"It was me who did it! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been forced to leave my hometown, leave the capital, and go to my fiefdom. And my son wouldn't have died in the capital. All of this was caused by him! It's a pity that I couldn't kill that old man this time, but I'm not in a hurry. When I sit in this position, I'll have the final say on what happens to him."
"You are hopeless."
"Haha! What qualifications do you have to say that to me? You are just like your father, Emperor Cang Ling, both of you lowly creatures who are not worthy of being on the stage. How can you compare with the bloodline of our principal wife?" Prince Hong laughed.
"Do you know that if it weren't for Duke Chen, you would have become a wandering ghost long ago?! Do you think you escaped disaster by luck because you didn't participate in the rebellion? You went to the fiefdom because Duke Chen begged for the opportunity to you after spending several days and nights in front of the emperor!" King Jing looked at him expressionlessly.
"What did you say! This is impossible!" Prince Hong was unwilling to believe it.
"Believe it or not."
"You must be saying this to confuse me! Come on, arrest him!" Prince Hong angrily ordered his men, but they did not move. He thought to himself, "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Don't waste your energy. They are all mine."
"What!" Prince Hong took two steps back. He wondered how it was possible for him to have 50,000 soldiers so easily. It turned out that all this was planned by him!
"I have to thank my uncle. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to return to the palace so soon." King Jing leaned close to his ear and said.
"I will kill you!" Prince Hong took the sword and stabbed towards Prince Jing.
Prince Jing dodged it easily, and the people around him subdued Prince Hong, tied him up and threw him to the ground.
The new emperor and Queen Mother Pan trembled and retreated. King Jing looked at them coldly: "You two, your father has been kind to you, but you are so ambitious that you actually wanted to kill him in secret. You deserve to be killed!
Also, do you think I don’t know what you did? Back then, you paid off a killer to cut off my arm and kill me! You thought you did it impenetrable, right? ! "
"You all know?"
"Of course! If it weren't for my father's secret protection over the years, I would have died in your hands! I don't need to tell you how many brothers have died in your hands!
And the death of Prince Hong's son is related to you, right?"
"What did you say!" Prince Hong widened his eyes.
"Your son was killed by him back then!"
"Didn't he die accidentally?"
"Of course not. It was he who tampered with the horse, causing your son to fall off the horse and die!" King Jing continued.
"You! Why are you doing this!?"
"Because it would cause discord between you and the emperor! But they didn't expect that in the end, retribution would come upon you. If it weren't for this, why would you rise up in rebellion?"
"I will kill you!" Prince Hong struggled forward and kicked the new emperor. Then he collapsed to the ground and knelt down to Prince Jing: "Long live the emperor."
The other courtiers also knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor."
At this point, the farce ended and King Jing ascended the throne smoothly.
After hearing about this, Yao Qingnian felt no wavering in her heart. No matter who ascended the throne, it would not affect her own territory. Everything was settled. They just had to wait for Lu Huaijin to find the master of Zi Ye Pavilion, and then they could leave the capital.
That day, she was bored in the villa when Han Junze came over and said that King Jing wanted to see her. No, he should be called the Emperor now.
"Why is he looking for me?"
"There's something good going on, go check it out."
"Can I not go?"
"No, that would be disobedience."
"Ok."
Yao Qingnian followed Han Junze into the palace.
"Your Highness!" Yao Qingnian bowed politely.
"Get up! Divine Doctor Han has told me everything you have done! The recipe for the plague, the method of making ice, and helping me reattach my arm. Miss Yao is really a wonderful person. You have helped me so much. I promised you that I will never break my promise to revive the Duke's Mansion, and I will also give you other rewards."
"He's a traitor!" Yao Qingnian muttered, then glared at Han Junze.
"Master!" Han Junze looked up and pretended he saw nothing.
"How about it? Are you interested in entering the palace? The position of the head of the Imperial Hospital is reserved for you."
"Not interested in."
"What about other official positions? I can make an exception and open a position for you as a female official."
"Your Majesty, I'm really not interested. Please don't embarrass me. If you really want to reward me, give me something practical."
"Oh? What's the actual thing?" The emperor became interested.
"No need to bother about official positions. Haha, didn't you open the Yunlai Restaurant? Just give me more dividends. I don't want the rest. You can just give me more reward, such as ten thousand taels of silver and gold." Hehe, Yao Qingnian could already imagine how happy he would be if he received such a reward.
"Throughout history, few people have dared to ask the emperor for money. Miss Yao is really unique and bold. As for money! I don't have any. I can give you more dividends, but do you have any other way to make money? I have just ascended the throne, and there are still many places where I need to spend money..."
