Chapter 249 Hongxing cheats?
After Li Fuquan finished reading the list, Emperor Yuan asked, "Is this the person you chose?"
Jiang Yueyang nodded and looked at Emperor Yuan with sincerity, "Your Majesty, I know you must be doubting my intentions now."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Civil and military officials: Is this something you can say in front of His Majesty? Lord Xiao Jiang's mind is still too simple.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of her innocence that His Majesty still values her so much even after she has demonstrated her special qualities.
“But I want to say that the original intention of establishing the Supervisory Department was to do things that others dare not do and to try cases that others dare not try.
The people who do these things need to have strong abilities, absolute loyalty and justice, and a formidable background and power.
Therefore, after much consideration, I decided to take the risk of arousing Your Majesty's suspicion and make that list.
However, I am also afraid of death. Therefore, I will hand over the list to Your Majesty, and you will confirm the final selection."
As her voice fell, the system said: [Host, do you think the emperor will believe you? ]
"I don't know! Any emperor who saw that list would think I was forming a clique for personal gain."
What if the emperor doesn't believe you?
[Then I will have no choice but to flee with my entire family.]
The system hinted: [Host, don't you want to do something big?]
Hearing the system's dangerous remarks, Minister Jiang felt a sense of déjà vu, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
This little kid is causing trouble again!
All the civil and military officials frowned. They didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse that Lord Jiang had this little melon.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were extremely anxious, fearing that Jiang Yueyang would desperately agree with the system's words.
Emperor Yuan waited for her answer with an expressionless face.
Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes, and this scene was caught by Emperor Yuan who had been watching her.
I'm not that idiot Prince Rong, who thinks he can ascend to the throne just because he has a little money and influence! I know my own limitations and limitations.
Jiang Yueyang clicked his tongue and shook his head. "That position isn't for someone like me. Besides, your majesty is a very competent emperor, and the crown prince is a benevolent and capable heir."
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and Minister Jiang and the Crown Prince brothers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Yuan snorted in mock displeasure, "Jiang Yueyang, I'm not as suspicious as you think. I know the principle of trusting those you employ, and not employing those you doubt."
System: [Tsk! To put it bluntly, the host simply lacks the courage and ambition, and is also too complacent.]
"Your Majesty, you are so wise! I will definitely be loyal to you like Lord Xie and my father!"
Jiang Yueyang responded to Emperor Yuan before paying attention to the system.
[Little melon, I am very satisfied with my current life. If Your Majesty hadn't insisted on me becoming this poor official, I don't know where I would be enjoying myself now.
I could pay a few handsome young men and beautiful women who can sing and dance to perform for me, and live a life of luxury all year round. It would be so cool!
Minister Jiang: “…”
Crown Prince & Third Prince: "..."
Civil and military officials: "..."
The corners of Emperor Yuan's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to control his expression. "I need to look at the list again. Just remember what you said today."
"Yes, I promise I won't forget!"
Emperor Yuan hummed in a reserved manner, then looked at the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The representative of the Ministry of Rites came forward to inquire about the issue of the eldest prince Yuanqi's recognition of his ancestral home. Kong Jijiu said that they had already screened some of the palace examination papers, and the rest needed to be read by the emperor himself.
Jiang Yueyang listened for a while, and after making sure that Emperor Yuan would not call her name again, she urged the system to eat melons.
【Little melon, tell me about Guo Yuanzheng's gossip. 】
Guo Yuanzheng was in high spirits, and all the civil and military officials looked impatient.
The system sang a line of lyrics in a pretentious manner, [Finally I waited for you~ Glad I didn't give up~]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Guo Yuanzheng: This song is more suitable for me to sing...
The system sang this line, then cleared its throat. [Guo Yuanzheng's wife has been secretly running off to see someone for the past two months, and she's completely obsessed with it.]
[Cheating?] Jiang Yueyang subconsciously thought of this.
【Yes and no. 】
Hearing their words, Guo Yuanzheng immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
All the civil and military officials cried out in their hearts, wondering who could escape this fate?
Yuanzheng Guo has been eating melons for so long, it’s time for him to contribute to Lord Xiaojiang’s melon-eating cause.
Emperor Yuan calmly turned his head and told Li Fuquan to bring some food. He felt that it was not quite right if he did not chew something while eating melon.
The third prince had already quickly snatched the snack pouch from the fifth prince and ate it secretly.
The fifth prince stared at his empty hands for a few seconds, then pulled out a purse from his waist, which contained a small naan.
He ate it stealthily, his eyes glancing around alertly.
Jiang Yueyang was confused by the system's words, "It's nothing and nothing at all? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Everyone: That’s right! Even storytellers don’t try to be so mysterious!
[No, I need to finish the story so I can earn more energy.]
[Okay, okay, okay, then speak faster.]
The system was not very fast at all, and slowly asked: [Host, how old do you think Guo Yuanzheng is now?]
[He looks about the same age as my dad, around 36 or 37.]
System [No, no, no, Director Guo is 45 years old this year.]
【What?】 Jiang Yueyang screamed.
All the civil and military officials were also shouting in their hearts, what? Guo Yuanzheng is already forty-five years old?
As time passed and personnel changed, no one remembered Guo Yuanzheng's age except for a few older officials.
Even Emperor Yuan forgot about it.
Jiang Yueyang couldn't believe it and confirmed again: "Xiaogua, are you sure that Guo Yuanzheng is forty-five years old now?"
【Absolutely true. 】
[Oh my god, I didn't expect Guo Yuanzheng to be so well-maintained! He's clearly a few years older than Your Majesty, yet he looks much younger.]
Emperor Yuan: “…”
The system deliberately provoked a fight, [Host, are you saying that the emperor is old? ]
[Your Majesty does look older than Director Guo!] Jiang Yueyang glanced at his colleagues nearby, [He also looks much younger than the others.]
When these words were spoken, people who were younger than Guo Yuanzheng and not as young as he looked felt heartbroken.
Especially Emperor Yuan, he was severely injured by Jiang Yueyang.
This should have been something to be happy about, but Guo Yuanzheng was not happy at all.
"After the court is over, I'm going to ask Director Guo for advice on the secrets of beauty maintenance." Jiang Yueyang continued.
All the civil and military officials raised their hands and touched their old faces, saying, "We want to go too!"
Emperor Yuan: All of you, move aside!
System: [It is precisely because Mr. Guo has a youthful appearance that does not suit his age that Mrs. Guo has been secretly running out to see that person for the past two months.]
P.S. Everyone can guess how the story will develop and see if you can guess correctly. (Guess the most outrageous one)
