I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 454 The best flatterer in the world
Ming Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

A phoenix cry resounded throughout the world!

The list of gods is slowly unfolding, sacred and majestic!
In the Jinluan Hall, the ministers lined up on both sides, silent, like wood carvings and clay sculptures.

A graceful and elegant woman in a phoenix robe was kneeling at the foot of the imperial steps.

She wore a silver mask, covering her entire face.

Even so, the emotions occasionally revealed by the woman's eyes through the mask were bleak and despairing.

Everyone knows who she is.

The former compassionate empress!
Today’s Empress of Ming Dynasty!
A de facto prisoner!

The greatest trophy of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty!

On the list of gods, a few golden characters slowly appeared: Empress of the Ming Dynasty, Yaoguang.

"Concubine..."

Yao Guang opened her red lips lightly, and her voice no longer had the slightest hint of supreme arrogance.

Some are just uncontrollable panic and trembling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty...Long En..."

The man on the throne only glanced at Yao Guang.

"Lu Fang."

"The servant is here."

The old eunuch flicked his fly whisk and responded respectfully.

"Place the queen in Jingyang Palace."

"The queen has worked hard for a long time and needs a good rest. From now on, there is no need to leave Jingyang Palace unless you have anything to do."

The word "Jiu Zhan" is very ironic.

After Emperor Jiajing finished speaking, he saw Yao Guang's kneeling body trembling obviously.

The Ming officials' glances at her became increasingly complicated.

Jingyang Palace?
The Ming Palace has more than 70 palaces and more than 9,000 houses.

Most of the palaces are grand or magnificent, but there are also remote and simple places among them.

Jingyang Palace is located east of Zhongcui Palace and north of Yonghe Palace. It is the most deserted courtyard in the imperial city, the so-called "Leng Palace"!
really!

All the ministers immediately understood what Emperor Jiajing was thinking.

Yaoguang only has the name of a queen, but she has no actual status as a queen. She is just a powerful tool to show off to the world.

"Please, Queen, I will take you back to Jingyang Palace to rest."

Lu Fang came to Yao Guang.

Although he had a nice smile and respectful words, his eyes when looking at Yao Guang were cold.

In terms of cultivation, Lu Fang is also a strong person in the Hedao realm, but far inferior to Yao Guang.

In terms of status, he is a disabled person, a slave in the palace, and there is a huge difference between him and Yao Guang.

But Yaoguang nodded obediently: "Thank you, Eunuch Lu..."

She stood up and walked without making a sound.

It was as if he was afraid that the sound of footsteps being too loud would disturb and anger Emperor Jiajing.

Under the gaze of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Yao Guang's figure gradually disappeared into the back hall, a passage as dark as a long snake.

The best woman in the world has such a bleak ending.

The power of the list of gods was deeply rooted in the hearts of the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

"His Majesty!"

Suddenly, Xu Jie, the second assistant, came out from the court.

"Wei ministers congratulate Your Majesty. Yaoguang surrenders, Daci is destroyed, and the Five Kingdoms Alliance collapses without attack."

"Your Majesty will sweep across Yunei and dominate the world, it's just around the corner!"

Flattery has always been the exclusive preserve of the strict party.

Xu Jie was not good at this. Although he spoke first, he didn't say anything new.

But as long as he can grab the jackpot, especially ahead of Yan Song, it is enough in Xu Jie's opinion.

As expected, Emperor Jiajing's faint laughter came from the throne.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu Ge."

"You, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang, Yin Shidan, Chen Yiqin, etc. successfully stopped Han Emperor Liu Bei, which really relieved me a lot of burden."

"Also Mr. Yan Ge and Lu Bing also contributed a lot."

"With the help of all my dear friends, if I can't succeed, wouldn't I be a foolish and useless king?"

After saying that, Emperor Jiajing laughed a few more times.

strangeness.

Xu Jie clearly felt the joy of the Sacred Heart, but he always felt that something was missing.

In his opinion, the battle on the island broke the balance between the Ming Dynasty and the five countries. Yaoguang was defeated and surrendered, and the remaining four countries were just hanging on, but they could not change the fate of being wiped out one by one by the Ming Dynasty.

Why does Your Majesty still seem to have something on his mind?
Xu Jie subconsciously glanced at Yan Song.

For many years, he had regarded Yan Song as his enemy, but he also regarded Yan Song as his teacher.

Xu Jie suddenly realized that he was rushing to flatter Emperor Jiajing, and Yan Song was lagging behind. He actually hadn't said a word yet.

Could it be that I was wrong?

After losing to Yan Song for a long time, Xu Jie suddenly lost his mood for the 'lead' at this moment.

It must be wrong!

But what's wrong?
He secretly glanced at Yan Song, even with a hint of expectation.

Xu Jie wanted to see what Yan Song planned to do?
"Wei Zhong, why didn't you say a word?"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly spoke with a gentle voice, calling Yan Song by his nickname as always.

Xu Jie felt extremely disappointed after hearing this.

Sure enough, in His Majesty's heart, his status will always be inferior to Yan Song?

He had a bitter look on his face, but he happened to notice Yan Song giving him a sidelong glance.

That look clearly had the condescension of a victor, mocking Xu Jie's overestimation of his abilities.

"Your Majesty, I do have something to say," Yan Song said.

"Well, you tell me." Emperor Jiajing said with a smile.

"minister……"

Yan Song seemed a little hesitant, but Xu Jie saw it and clearly believed that he was acting.

The old thief must have had a plan in mind for a long time, but he didn't know what bad water he was holding back.

"The old minister is shameless and wants to ask for a reward from His Majesty."

As soon as this statement came out, it really aroused the appetite of the civil and military officials in the court.

"Haha, asking for a reward?" Emperor Jiajing also smiled and said: "Wei Zhong, when have I ever owed you a debt and you actually took the initiative to ask for a reward from me?"

Usually when the emperor talks about this, the ministers should kneel down and apologize.

Xu Jie felt even more baffled.

Could it be that Yan Song is really an old fool and speaks so ignorantly?

Just listen to Yan Song continue: "Your Majesty has always been kind to his subjects, but this time I led Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, Zhao Wenhua and others to successfully intercept Wei Emperor Cao Cao, which is indeed a great achievement. If Your Majesty does not reward you, I will ...The old minister felt that he was at a huge disadvantage."

Wow! ! !
After Yan Song finished speaking, the officials were shocked!
Is the first assistant really an old fool?
Even if you have merit, you should not ask for rewards like this. It seems that Emperor Jiajing's unclear rewards and punishments forced the ministers to take the initiative to ask for rewards.

Xu Jie was even more ecstatic!

"Oh my God!"

"Yan Song is really confused!"

"The end of the Strict Party is near, righteous men can finally preside over the court, and the Ming Dynasty can continue to prosper for thousands of years!"

The ministers were restless.

Xu Dang was excited and excited, while Yan Dang was confused and stunned.

Only Yan Song was still like an old pine tree. Although his body was bent, his lower body was steady and unmoving.

"It seems that I was negligent?"

Emperor Jiajing's voice was still calm, but with a hint of coldness.

"Since the Chief Assistant has made great achievements, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Just say it."

"Become a marquis, a duke, or should I make you a king with a different surname?"

Hearing what Emperor Jiajing said, Xu Jie's heart pounded!

The emperor is angry!
Yan Song is indeed seeking death!

After finally suppressing his ups and downs, Xu Jie looked at Yan Song expectantly.

talk!

Hurry up and tell me what reward you want!
Let's wait and see what you have said. Is Your Majesty going to reward you like this?

It’s best to reward you with the whole family beheaded and the nine clans wiped out!
Weirdly... Yan Song did not speak first, but slowly turned his head and gave Xu Jie a weird smile.

This smile made Xu Jie's hair tremble all over his body!

"His Majesty."

Yan Song knelt on the ground, kowtowed first, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and powerful throughout the world. I look forward to serving you for thousands of years."

"Not only the old minister is like this, but also Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, Zhao Wenhua, etc. also have the same thoughts as the old minister."

"Therefore, I dare to ask your majesty for your favor...to be listed on the list!"

Xu Jie's head buzzed, as if it had exploded!
did not expect!
Why didn’t I think of that!
The list of gods shocks everyone in the world, and everyone is afraid of it like a tiger.

But as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, asking yourself to be on the list is the most flattering thing to please Emperor Jiajing!
Just a little less today, just for fun.
