Chapter 232: The Contrast is Obvious, the Imperial Guard
Chapter 232: The Contrast is Obvious, the Imperial Guard
"General, please have some tea."
Su Peisheng gently placed the teacup on the seat next to Nian Gengyao.
Nian Gengyao didn't even look at Su Peisheng, and instinctively chose to ignore him.
"Young General Fucha, please have some tea."
Su Peisheng's eyes darkened for a moment, then he restrained his expression, turned to look at Fu Cha Fude beside him, and respectfully offered him a cup of tea.
Fu Cha Fude looked at Su Peisheng and nodded politely.
Although it was just a simple nod, it did make Su Peisheng feel respected.
Except for Nian Gengyao, other ministers would smile at him when they saw him, or even show some courtesy.
But at this moment, he had just been ignored by Nian Gengyao, so when he received Fu Cha Fude's nod, he had such a clear feeling.
No one wants to be a eunuch. Even Su Peisheng feels humbled by his identity as a eunuch. However, excessive inferiority complex often makes him extremely sensitive to the attitudes of people around him.
In particular, this kind of humiliating disregard will further arouse the malice in their hearts.
"General, please take your time."
Su Peisheng smiled and said something attentively, then quickly retreated.
Nian Gengyao naturally did not miss the interaction between Fucha Fude and Su Peisheng. He was very disdainful of Fucha Fude's behavior of lowering his status to get close to the emperor just to please him, even a eunuch, and he was particularly contemptuous of him.
He looked away, looked at the emperor and spoke.
"Your Majesty, last time I reported to the emperor that the Zhili Governor Zhao Zhiheng was incompetent and incompetent and had no ability to serve as the Zhili Governor. I wonder if Your Majesty has made a decision?"
"Since you think he is incompetent, I naturally trust your judgment and will order him to be dismissed."
The emperor spoke calmly. He knew a thing or two about Zhao Zhiheng and realized that he was indeed an incompetent person.
We can take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of him, clean up the court, and deter those incompetent people.
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
Seeing that the emperor agreed with his opinion so readily, Nian Gengyao couldn't help but smile.
It turns out that this sister has been in this palace for too long, and her mind has become much narrower.
Doesn't the emperor still trust him as much as before? He is the emperor's brother-in-law, so there is no need to be too fussy about some things.
My sister is still too cautious. This will make the emperor feel that they are estranged from him.
That’s right, he used this incident deliberately to test the emperor’s attitude towards him.
After all, when his sister sent him out of the palace yesterday, she said a lot of things that did make him a little wary.
But now it seems that my sister was just overthinking it.
The emperor's next words further confirmed his thoughts and made him no longer vigilant.
"Liang Gong, you and Jing'an, although we are the monarch and the minister outside, we are relatives inside. If I can't even trust you, then I will have no one I can trust in this court."
"Yes."
Nian Gengyao responded.
"You and I, as king and subject, should be role models for the ages."
The emperor looked at Nian Gengyao and said with a smile.
"As for Jing'an, I am waiting for you to grow up to be my right-hand man, so don't let your guard down."
After saying this, the emperor did not forget to smile and speak to Fu Cha Fude who was sitting beside him and listening attentively.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to repay your grace."
Fucha Fude stood up excitedly and saluted the emperor.
"Sit down, sit down."
The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw Fu Cha Fu De's vigor and respect towards him.
Compared to Nian Gengyao, who had a wrinkled face and an arrogant and cold attitude, this was the loyal and capable general he should have.
Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison.
"Humph."
Nian Gengyao snorted with disdain.
Although the sound was not loud, it was loud enough for the emperor sitting at the top to hear it clearly.
The satisfied look on his face suddenly turned cold.
Only then did he realize that Nian Gengyao had actually leaned back in his chair at some point, looking as relaxed as if he was in his own backyard.
This made the emperor narrow his eyes dangerously.
Fu Cha Fu De naturally also noticed Nian Gengyao's actions and the emperor's obviously cold expression.
He knew it was his turn to play.
"General Nian, I don't think you are here to see the emperor, but rather to rest in your own backyard."
"Why do you really think of the palace as your home?"
Fu Cha Fu De's words were so shocking that he almost slapped the emperor in the face with the words "Nian Gengyao had rebellious intentions."
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."
This sentence made Nian Gengyao sit up straight immediately, and he was so scared that he began to explain to the emperor.
"You have no intention of doing so?"
Fu Cha Fu De did not give Nian Gengyao a chance to refute and continued speaking.
"This is your way of admitting your mistake to the Emperor. Are you unwilling to even stand for a moment?"
"Anyway, I would never sit down and plead guilty to the Emperor."
At the same time, Fucha Fude did not forget to boast about himself, and interpreted the words "pull down" to the fullest.
Sure enough, no man can resist the Green Tea routine.
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's dissatisfaction with Nian Gengyao instantly doubled.
Yes, wasn’t I polite enough to Nian Gengyao?
But how did he do it.
Jing'an was born into the Fucha family and had made great military achievements, but he never became arrogant and conceited.
But Nian Gengyao has done countless taboo things from yesterday until today, but I have never held it against him.
Even when talking to him now, he still has a relaxed and leisurely attitude.
Is this the right attitude for an emperor like him?
Do you really think of yourself as my brother-in-law?
But Concubine Hua is not even the Queen, and even the people of the Ulanara clan don’t dare to speak to me like this. Where does he get the confidence from?
"Okay, Jingan."
"I don't think Liang Gong made a mistake on purpose, but Liang Gong, in order to avoid misunderstanding, you should do your best."
The emperor's tone turned cold uncontrollably.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Nian Gengyao quickly stood up and replied.
"Sit down."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and waved to Nian Gengyao.
"I appreciate your hard work and great achievements, so I grant you a pair of peacock feathers, a robe with four dragon patches, a yellow belt and purple bridle, and a thousand ounces of gold."
"As for you, Jing'an, now that the war is over, are you willing to become my imperial guard?"
The emperor wanted to cultivate Fu Cha Fu De, so naturally he wanted to put him in front of him.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I am willing to do anything to serve you."
Fu Cha Fude knew that he would be promoted this time, but he never expected that he would be promoted three levels in a row.
You have to know that before I went out, I was just a blue-feathered guard, but now I can serve directly beside the emperor, which is a great honor.
