"Both sides will suffer?" The old emperor muttered. Qiu Defu did not dare to answer, and bowed his head and pretended that he did not exist. "Do you know how many people the Marquis' Mansion sent, how many warriors, and what their grades are?" "Your Majesty, according to the news reported by the Jinyiwei, the Marquis' Mansion sent about 300 people, half of whom are warriors, and most of them are of the first or second grade." The old emperor frowned when he heard this, and seemed very dissatisfied, "Not enough. Far from enough. This number of people is definitely not the strength of the Marquis' Mansion. What is Jiang Tu doing? He has been busy for so many days, but he has not been able to force the Marquis' Mansion to do its best. Incompetent, waste! With the foundation of the Marquis' Mansion, how could there be only this number of people? The grade of the warriors is too low. Go and call Jiang Tu, and call the Jinyiwei over. I want to ask in person." The old emperor was so angry that he threw the memorial all over the floor. Qiu Defu hurriedly ordered someone to pass on the message, while carefully calming the old emperor's emotions. "Your Majesty, calm down! Lord Jiang may be a good cook who can't cook without rice. After all, he has been with Your Majesty for a limited time, and the number of people he can recruit is also limited. Please forgive him for a few days, let him find another way and do his best." "You are kind-hearted, and you actually speak for Jiang Tu. It's a pity that Jiang Tu is not here, and he doesn't know your intentions."
Qiu Defu smiled, "I am Your Majesty's person, just to share Your Majesty's worries. As long as Your Majesty is happy, I don't need other people's favors." "Haha..." The old emperor laughed, and his mood seemed to improve. At this time, an eunuch reported that the Jixia Academy sent someone to offer medicine, and asked Your Majesty if he wanted to summon the person. "Hurry up!" When the old emperor heard that the Jixia Academy offered medicine, his mood decisively turned from cloudy to sunny, and he was very happy. What Jiang Tu, what Houfu, all stood aside, none of them mattered. "I thought I would have to wait until next year to have the chance to take the elixir offered by Jixia Academy. I didn't expect it to work so soon. Haha... God's help!" "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and everything you wish for will come true." Qiu Defu spoke a lot of auspicious words. The old emperor received the person who offered the medicine from Jixia Academy, a handsome young scholar. Just by hearing his name, you can tell that he is a direct descendant of Jixia Academy. The old emperor got the elixir, smelled the fragrance of the elixir, and was extremely addicted. "After the ancestor came out of retreat, the first batch of elixirs he refined was unexpectedly successful the first time. It was all thanks to your Majesty's great fortune and the blessing of God." "Hahaha..." The old emperor was in a good mood again, "Tell me, what reward do you want? Official position or wealth?" "It is a blessing for us to offer medicine to your Majesty. How dare we have unreasonable expectations." "No problem! If you haven't made up your mind, I will give you three days. When you go back, discuss it with your master. No matter what you want, as long as I can afford it, I will never be stingy." "On behalf of the Jixia Academy, I thank your Majesty for your grace!" When Jiang Tu hurried to Taiji Palace to meet the emperor, the old emperor was immersed in the joy of getting the elixir, and rarely did he beat and scold Jiang Tu. It must be said that Jiang Tu is a bit lucky. Qiu Defu was a little jealous.
I thought he would see Jiang Tu being punished by the old emperor. However, the Jixia Academy sent someone to deliver medicine at this time to save Jiang Tu's life. Luck is something that you really can't help but believe. Qiu Defu then thought, could it be that a master protected Jiang Tu? Or did Jiang Tu ask for something to change his luck? It seems necessary to send someone to investigate and break Jiang Tu's good luck. Jiang Tu himself was also prepared to be beaten and scolded, but he never expected that the old emperor would smile and look in a good mood when he saw him. Seeing this, although he didn't know the reason, he knew that the opportunity had come. He took the opportunity to complain, denounced the Marquis' Mansion, and denounced Chen Guanfu. He asked the old emperor to give him more time, and it would be best if he could give him some support. Especially support from warriors. Low-level warriors are easy to win over, and there are many of them, but they are useless. High-level warriors are either kept in captivity by aristocratic families, or they serve the court, or in the sect. If you want to win over one or two, it really can't be done with money. Even if there are one or two high-level warriors who are moved by money, no one can guarantee that there are no high-level warriors in the Marquis' Mansion. After all, the Marquis' Mansion has a deep foundation, and the power currently displayed is only a very small part. The warriors who really have powerful power and the people who can really protect the house have definitely not come out yet. Don't let a master run out at that time, that would be the end. "Master? Humph! In this place in the capital, who has a master except in the palace, who dares to have a master." The old emperor sneered coldly. Since he became emperor, one thing he has always done is to ensure the safety of the capital, and never allow any master who is out of the control of the court to operate in the capital. Once discovered, the master in the palace will definitely come forward, either to kill him or drive him out of the capital. The old emperor cherishes his life very much, and will never allow the terrifying power that is not under his control to appear in the capital. Therefore, it is determined that there are definitely no master-level warriors in the Marquis' Mansion. It is not easy to say whether there are high-level warriors of the eighth or ninth grade. With the ability of the Marquis' Mansion, it is not difficult to hide a few people without being discovered by the Jinyiwei. Looking at the crying Jiang Tu, the old emperor was a little annoyed. "You idiot, I can't even do something when I ask you to do it, what use do I have for you." Only scolding and not beating was already a special favor from the old emperor, mainly because he was in a good mood today and didn't want to do it. "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" When it comes to asking for forgiveness, Jiang Tu is second to none, and no one dares to claim to be first. He has a firm grasp of the ability to flatter the superiors and bully the subordinates, and he will never fail in the field he is good at. "It would be easy if you died, but who would take care of my affairs. You bastard, you don't want to share my worries, and you just want to die all day. One day, I will really sentence you to death, and see what you will do." "Your Majesty, if you sentence me to death, it will be my blessing." Jiang Tu is a master at flattering the superiors. Qiu Defu lowered his head slightly, rolling his eyes. He despised Jiang Tu, but he could do nothing about him. Occasionally, he would make Jiang Tu fined and lose favor for a few days at most.
When His Majesty has something to do, Jiang Tu will be favored again. This is how fucked things are. Yu Zhaoan is good at flattering his superiors, but he puts all his efforts into government affairs, not such private matters. Obviously, the old emperor would not let Yu Zhaoan, a serious scholar, handle these private matters. Because he wants to save face! He is worried that Yu Zhaoan will record and spread the news privately, which will ruin his reputation. It is not wrong to be more cautious about scholars. As for people like Jiang Tu, they can be used however they want, pure consumables.
