Chapter 227: Loyal to the Emperor and Patriotic, a Good Person
Chapter 227: Loyal to the Emperor and Patriotic, a Good Person
Nian Gengyao naturally saw his sister's ugly face. The emperor ignored his sister in front of him. He didn't know how much his sister had suffered when he was away.
The Nian family fought desperately on the battlefield for the emperor's kingdom, but the emperor didn't even treat his own sister well. Could it be that he was bullying his sister because there was no one behind her?
Nian Gengyao snorted heavily and the air in the entire banquet hall suddenly became stagnant.
At this time, Concubine Nian no longer cared about jealousy or not. She did not expect her brother to be so domineering that he even dared to express his dissatisfaction with the emperor's words. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?
Concubine Nian subconsciously looked at the emperor and saw that his face had indeed darkened. She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but she didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Liang, this duck is pretty good. Why don't you try it too?"
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a friendly smile, looked at Nian Gengyao and said.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
But only the emperor himself knew how much he hated Nian Gengyao, and he must get rid of him!
"How come General Nian is jealous because the emperor said a few more words to me?"
Fucha Fude was naturally not afraid of confronting Nian Gengyao. He compared Nian Gengyao to a jealous woman in the backyard in a sarcastic tone, which was a great humiliation for Nian Gengyao.
"Fucha Fude, don't go too far!"
Nian Gengyao turned around and glared at Fu Cha Fude, and spoke in a sharp tone.
"General Nian, I was just joking. Could it be that General Nian is still angry?"
Fu Cha Fu De didn't bother to care whether Nian Gengyao was angry or not. At worst he would just quit his official position. Anyway, he was targeting Nian Gengyao to please the emperor, and he wouldn't have to worry about his future.
What's more, the Nian family is nothing in front of the Fucha family, and they dare to speak loudly to him.
Nian Gengyao stared at Fu Cha Fude with gloomy eyes, as if he wanted to draw his sword and chop him to death in the next second.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke between relatives, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
"Jing'an is young and ignorant. As an old minister of mine, Liang Gong should be tolerant and don't bother with Jing'an."
The emperor seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but in fact he was implying that Nian Gengyao was stingy and intolerant.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
After the emperor finished speaking, he invited everyone to have dinner.
Concubine Nian looked at her brother's dark face and wanted to say something but stopped herself. However, she had no choice but to obey the emperor's wishes and lower her head to eat.
Now she just hoped that the party would be over as soon as possible. If she stayed any longer, with her brother's temper, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.
Nian Gengyao was very angry after being ridiculed by Fucha Fude.
Seeing that the emperor had stood up to speak for Fu Cha Fu De, he was even more dissatisfied.
This kid has only been following me for a while. Could it be that in the emperor's eyes, I am not even as good as this ignorant kid?
Nian Gengyao calmed down a little, turned to look at the emperor and spoke.
"Your Majesty, I think this bird's nest duck dish is good."
The young eunuchs serving around wanted to come forward and pick up some food for Nian Gengyao, but were blocked by him.
"Why not let Eunuch Su serve me this bird's nest duck?"
As Nian Gengyao spoke, he leaned back against the chair behind him, looking extremely arrogant.
After these words were spoken, Concubine Nian's heart, which had just calmed down, became tense again.
What on earth is my brother going to do?
She now began to doubt whether her brother could leave the palace today.
When the emperor heard this, his hand holding the chopsticks paused, and his eyes instantly became sharper.
As for the other party's rude remarks just now, he thought at most that Nian Gengyao was too powerful and arrogant.
But now the other party actually asked Su Peisheng, who served him, to serve one of his ministers. Isn't this a blatant attempt at treason?
Could it be that Nian Gengyao thinks he is Cao Cao? Unfortunately, I am not Emperor Xian of Han.
"General Nian, this Eunuch Su is the emperor's man. As the saying goes, a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister. What ability do you have to let Eunuch Su serve you? Is it because you are too arrogant?"
Fucha Fude thought he would no longer be shocked by Nian Gengyao's arrogance, but now it was as if the words "I am planning to usurp the throne" were written on his face. Did he think he was Zhao Kuangyin?
However, the more the other party does this, the more it demonstrates his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.
In a sense, Nian Gengyao is really a good man.
The emperor's eyes, originally full of murderous intent, seemed to want to laugh after hearing Fu Cha Fu De's words.
Nian Gengyao was too lazy to pay attention to Fucha Fude. He just leaned back in his chair with a calm expression, waiting for the emperor's answer.
When Concubine Nian was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, the Emperor interrupted her.
"In that case, Su Peisheng, go ahead."
The emperor was not very angry at this time. In his eyes, Nian Gengyao was already a dead man. Why should he be angry about a dead person?
After receiving the emperor's gaze, Su Peisheng quickly put on a smiling face and walked to Nian Gengyao attentively.
At this point, he was already extremely certain that Nian Gengyao and the Nian family would not live long. After all, the emperor was not a tolerant and generous person.
However, even the most tolerant and generous emperor could not endure such great humiliation without any reaction.
Su Peisheng attentively picked up a piece of duck with his chopsticks and put it in Nian Gengyao's bowl.
"General, please take your time."
Su Peisheng looked at Nian Gengyao and said with a smile.
Nian Gengyao didn't even look at Su Peisheng, and was even afraid of having any contact with him.
He despised and hated these eunuchs from the bottom of his heart, thinking they were all rootless people.
If he wasn't angry with the emperor, but also wanted to let that brat Fu Cha Fu De see how close the emperor was to him, he would not have let the eunuch Su Peisheng pick food for him.
Nian Gengyao had no intention of eating the duck that Su Peisheng put in his bowl. With a look of disgust and a cold face, he threw the duck aside with the chopsticks in his hand.
Su Peisheng naturally did not miss Nian Gengyao's little action, and his eyes became a little more serious.
He was not originally very angry at this dying person, but the other party's disgust towards him made him feel angry.
Since you look down on eunuchs so much, don't blame yourself for saying things you shouldn't have said in the future.
"In the past few months, you two have fought for me in the northwest, and have greatly influenced the western frontier. You have severely disintegrated the reactionary forces of Lobsang Danjin, and you have helped me a lot."
"Especially Liang Gong, you can be regarded as an old minister who has always followed me. I will always remember your contributions."
The emperor looked at Nian Gengyao and said with a smile.
After hearing what the emperor said, Nian Gengyao's expression looked much better.
