C146 The Promise of the Imperial Court
Xiao Yun rubbed his forehead and nodded. "I did mention it, and it will happen. Although I did not see it with my own eyes, it is inevitable. I don't need to see it to know."
"These damn merchants! They are going to make a fortune?! Damn it, damn it! I want to give the order to let them die! "
"This..."
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Your majesty, this is not necessary."
The first reaction of the king when he heard Xiao Yun's words was anger. He thought that Xiao Yun was also involved in this matter, but the second reaction was doubt.
From the beginning until now, although it had not been long, Xiao Yun's words and actions were reasonable. He could not find any fault with it.
This caused the two of them to form a subtle trust between each other.
So, no matter what inconceivable remarks Xiao Yun said, His Majesty would always believe 30% of it.
"You better explain it clearly to me!"
"This..."
Xiao Yun said with a bitter face, "This is really a little complicated to say. I'm afraid that it won't be clear for a short period of time."
He scratched his cheek. Anyone could tell that this guy was too lazy to say it!
Then he said, "Anyway, as long as His Majesty doesn't interfere in this matter."
"You!"
The corners of His Majesty's eyes twitched violently. Then, he rolled his eyes and sneered. He said, "You don't want to say? Fine! Tomorrow morning's morning court session, come to the hall. Zhen wants to discuss the matter of merchants taking advantage of the chaos to collect land. When the time comes, you have to speak!"
"Ah?!"
Xiao Yun had a bitter expression and hurriedly said, "That peasant will say it now..."
"No need! Zhen will not listen!"
"This..."
If His Majesty played rogue, who would be his match?
One. Who would be good if the person who set the rules suddenly became unreasonable?
Xiao Yun wanted to struggle, but he was dragged out by the eunuch.
He walked all the way to the front of the palace gate before saying, "Young Master Xiao, you have also taken the land?"
Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "I want to too! But I have to have money! I spent so much money on so many medicines and spent all my money. In the end... Hey, good boy, there's no reward at all. How am I going to handle this in the future?"
With a Taichi punch, he pushed the blame onto His Majesty.
The eunuch could only smile bitterly and said, "Now that the treasury is empty, it's not that His Majesty doesn't want to reward, it's just that... There's nothing to reward you with. These few days, His Majesty has been keeping his clothes tight and eating his food. "
" What's the use of him eating in tight clothes? Even if he doesn't eat or drink, will the money spent in the palace be less every day? It's actually a little formalism. It looks good, but it's actually useless! "
" Silence! My little ancestor, if you disappear one day, you will definitely not have anything to do with your stinky mouth! "
The eunuch was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly looked left and right before speaking, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "I have even more unpleasant words here. It's just that I don't have the face to say it out loud. Don't push me too hard. If you push me too hard, I will do anything!"
"Yes, yes, yes. No one forced you."
The eunuch smiled bitterly.
He thought in his heart that Xiao Yun, the son of heaven, should be tempered or something. Otherwise, his character would be too arrogant.
However, when he turned his head and thought about it, he realized that being arrogant was also because he really had the ability. Why wouldn't someone with the ability be arrogant?
He could only watch Xiao Yun walk away with big steps. The eunuch let out a long sigh.
He couldn't help but think in his heart.
His Majesty really is.
Tomorrow would be another bloody storm!
This Xiao Yun did not have an official position and only had the evaluation of a Saint Grade. How could he have the qualifications to run to the Imperial Court? As long as he stood there, he would become the target of everyone, and all the officials would rebel against him.
This had nothing to do with enmity, nor did it have anything to do with character or approval.
It was a bottom line, the bottom line of the officials!
To be able to stand in the Imperial Court was an honor and privilege. They had been officials for many years, climbing up step by step, enduring time and time again. They had defeated countless people in order to obtain their current position!
However, Xiao Yun was nothing. He was standing right beside them. This was a challenge to the promotion system and status of officials!
How could they not be angry?
The eunuch understood that the reason His Majesty could say this was to see the reaction of the officials toward Xiao Yun.
After all, in the future, he had to use it, he had to use it!
But he could not give him an official position.
It was better to take a step back and find out more about it first.
However, it would be hard for Xiao Yun himself.
After letting out a long sigh, the eunuch turned around and walked back.
As for Xiao Yun, he didn't think too much about it.
It was rare for him to go out once, and in the end, he even made a special trip to the Imperial Palace.
Although it didn't take long for him to see His Majesty, outside of this place, a day's time was already spent.
When he came out and returned to the street, it was already evening.
Xiao Yun subconsciously wanted to go to Drunken Immortal Restaurant. After all, this place had become one of the places he was most familiar with.
However, when she saw his direction, Ling Long immediately lowered her head. Shangguan Qing'er was also humming non-stop beside him. Only Badao was extremely excited, and his eyes were glowing.
Xiao Yun stopped walking and said with a bitter smile, "What's wrong? You don't want me to go there?"
Ling Long shook her head and said in a low voice, "I heard that Sister Qiao'er has not been receiving guests recently, and those guests have not seen..."
This seemingly unrelated sentence reminded Xiao Yun of something.
He sighed and said, "Let's go. It's been a long time since we last met. Let's go to the Leng family and freeload."
He said that he was freeloading. When he entered, he really happened to be in time for the Leng family to eat dinner.1
However, it was not for freeloading.
Old Master Leng immediately ordered people to remove the bowls and chopsticks and ordered them to specially prepare a table of drinks. After that, he led Xiao Yun to the living room to drink tea and chat.
"How long has it been? Kid, you still want to come."
Old Master Leng was obviously very happy, but the words that came out of his mouth had obviously changed.
Xiao Yun's eyes had been staring at his legs ever since he entered the door. He saw that although he was not as fast as flying and that he was a little lame during daily activities, he was still able to walk. This was actually the best result.
After all, his age was there.
If he was young and his bones were broken, he might still be able to grow well. However, if he was old, it would be bad if his bones were broken. It was already good enough that he could maintain it.
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "If there weren't some divine medicines or secret medicines, I really wouldn't be able to cure you completely. This should be the only thing I can do in the future."
He said it with some regret.
The pillar of the empire laughed and said, "This old man thought that he would be stuck with a bed for the rest of his life. I didn't think that he would still have the chance to walk... Sigh, when I had it, I didn't think it was very precious. But after losing it, I realized that it was just a matter of standing up. It was also an extremely blissful matter! "
"What Old Master Leng said is a little too exaggerated."
"Sigh, it is not exaggerated at all. Previously, I was wondering what the Leng family would do in the future. I, this old man, can still work hard for my family for a few more years. But now... They were all looking down on him. People had life and death, and grass had withering. Even a kingdom had only lived for a few hundred years. What more a clan? A son and a son are blessed by their own children. Even if they are not blessed, it is not something that I can change. It is better to live a good life and live a few more years. At the very least, only by living can I protect them from the wind and rain."
Xiao Yun smiled and said," It's right for you to think this way. Where are the people? They always say how they die and what happens after they die. In fact, as long as they die, there is no value at all. If they have value, it's just that their name has been used by others. He would know that everything was empty after he died. This was a principle that had never changed since ancient times. Being alive and living well is the only thing that has meaning in this world. "
"Er... Hahahaha!"
Leng Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and said, "You're so young, yet you're facing life and death even more clearly than this old man! How strange!"
In fact, what was strange?
No matter how old the people in this world were, no matter how intelligent they were, they could not be compared to Xiao Yun!
Because he had really died before.
He had also come back to life.
How could he not understand what life and death meant when he was born?
Moreover, life and death had their own great wisdom. He had experienced it before. The level of wisdom was far higher than that of mortals!
