Chapter 253: Changing Orders Every Day, Wanting to Be Cao Cao
"Hey, why did Liang Gong go to such lengths?"
"You are also working for me, so it is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings. Since Zhao Zhiyuan has been dismissed from his post."
Nian Gengyao didn't care about so many things at this time. He just looked up at the emperor and interrupted him.
"emperor."
"If a loyal and upright minister like Zhao Zhiyuan were to lose such a talented person because of my mistake, I would be unable to sleep or eat, Your Majesty."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Nian Gengyao really deserved to die.
This was the first time someone dared to interrupt him since he became emperor.
It seems that Nian Gengyao had long harbored rebellious intentions in his heart, otherwise how could he dare to be so arrogant and domineering.
Could it be that he thinks he is Cao Cao, and wants to use the emperor to control the princes?
But I am not Emperor Xian of Han, and I am not as incompetent as him.
He will definitely use the blood of Nian’s family to wash away today’s humiliation.
The emperor took a deep breath, then asked with a friendly smile on his face.
"I heard you say that you have dismissed him. It has not been long since the decree was issued. It is not the way of a monarch to change his orders every day."
The emperor wanted to see what else Nian Gengyao could say to force him to change his mind.
"I'm afraid that my orders will be hard to convince people from now on. After all, no one can guarantee that the orders they receive will not change the next day. If this continues, I'm afraid that I, the emperor, will lose my prestige."
"I have failed to supervise properly. This matter is my fault."
"But if it is because of my negligence that the court loses such a capable minister, I will feel guilty and unable to sleep or eat well."
Nian Gengyao naturally did not hear the tentative meaning in the emperor's words. He just kept repeating his difficulties.
He completely ignored the fact that his so-called sleepless nights were nothing compared to the emperor's majesty.
However, Nian Gengyao, who was dazzled by the emperor's sweet words and the flattery of the ministers in the court, only wanted to get this matter done as soon as possible so that his sister could have more money to spend.
"However, since the emperor has already issued an imperial decree to remove Zhao Zhiyuan from his position, I cannot bear to embarrass the emperor, so why not assign him another position?"
"This way, the emperor can save his reputation and avoid changing his orders every day. Secondly, this loyal minister can be saved, so that the court will not lose such a good minister."
Nian Gengyao thought about it carefully and told the emperor his thoughts.
He felt that his idea was perfect as it took both parties into consideration and would surely not put the emperor in an awkward position.
"Do you really insist on doing this?"
The emperor frowned and laughed in anger.
Is Nian Gengyao giving him orders?
The emperor stared at Nian Gengyao deeply for a while, then asked in a calm tone.
"Since I have made a mistake, I must not make it again. It is best to stop the loss in time. Please forgive my mistake, Your Majesty."
This time, Nian Gengyao heard something wrong in the emperor's words, but he didn't take it seriously.
This has indeed undermined the majesty of the emperor, but now I am in the court intimidating all officials on behalf of the emperor, and I think others will not dare to act rashly.
As for the emperor himself, he was not worried about what the other party would think of him.
He is the emperor's brother-in-law, and their relationship is so close that the emperor naturally won't care too much about him.
The emperor chuckled and nodded, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"In that case, I will give you this favor and hire Zhao Zhiyuan once again as an exception."
"What kind of official position would be more suitable for him?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Nian Gengyao with interest and asked.
"I am deeply troubled. For such a serious matter, I would like to ask the Emperor to make the decision. I will obey your orders."
Nian Gengyao was naturally not stupid enough to agree directly. He thought that since the emperor gave him such face, he would of course return the favor. It would be better to let the emperor decide the official position himself.
In this way, the emperor will probably not have too much resentment.
Nian Gengyao had a good idea, but he overlooked the fact that the emperor was not his brother-in-law, but the ruler of a country and a subject of the whole world.
He is not the emperor's brother-in-law, but the emperor's subject and servant.
"You know how to use people well, so you must know what this person is good at better than me."
Seeing the other party's refusal, the emperor continued to ask.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Nian Gengyao no longer pretended to be polite and directly expressed what he was thinking.
"I think Zhao Zhiyuan is very capable, and the position of the Minister of Works is very suitable for him."
Hearing what the emperor said, Nian Gengyao was delighted. The emperor indeed treated him differently.
He knew that the emperor would not be angry with him over such a small matter.
"In that case, I will listen to you."
The emperor also nodded and said in a very good-tempered manner.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nian Gengyao knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor with satisfaction.
"You are devoted to the country and loyal to it. I naturally value you very much. Please don't let me down."
The emperor looked at Nian Gengyao meaningfully and said.
Since Nian Gengyao has been overwhelmed by the situation now, I might as well add some sugar-coated bullets to him, so that when the time comes to deal with him in the end, all these crimes will be enough to completely kill him.
After Nian Gengyao left, the emperor fiddled with the bracelet in his hand and spoke to the young eunuch serving beside him.
"Go and call Guard Fucha over to me."
"It's the Emperor."
The young eunuch responded and walked out quickly.
He was afraid that he had heard so many things he shouldn't have heard, and whether he would be able to see the sun tomorrow morning.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Fucha Fude walked quickly into the hall and bowed to the emperor.
"Get up."
The emperor waved to Fucha Fude and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fu Cha Fu De bowed respectfully and stood up and said.
"Everything was fine today, why did you quarrel with Nian Gengyao?"
The emperor asked, looking at Fucha Fude with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent."
Fu Cha Fu De pursed his lips pretending to be aggrieved and did not intend to say it directly.
After all, the emperor must have heard about what happened today from the eunuch, so it is impossible that he is not clear about what happened and that is why he is asking me this.
"You feel that I have punished you and you are wronged."
Seeing this, the emperor looked at Fu Cha Fu De with some amusement and said.
Jing'an looks tall, but his temperament is like that of a child.
"Your Majesty, I do not feel wronged."
"Your Majesty punished me for my own good. I understand your intentions."
"I am just a humble official."
Fucha Fude looked up at the emperor somewhat embarrassedly, then quickly lowered his head.
