Chapter 228: A loyal minister, nurturing the enemy to protect himself
After hearing what the emperor said, Fu Cha Fu De stood up on his own initiative and wanted to thank the emperor.
Upon seeing this, Nian Gengyao cursed the other party in his heart as a flatterer and fawning villain, then stood up and walked in front of Fu Cha Fude.
The two of them bowed to the emperor to express their gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise."
"I have just ascended the throne, and the court is not completely stable. Several princes of the previous emperor are ready to make moves, and wars are also breaking out frequently on our frontier."
"Now you two have helped me to quell the war at the border, and at the same time have also intimidated those who have dissenting opinions in the court. This contribution is naturally not inferior to others."
"Not only will I be pleased, but my descendants will also be grateful for it."
The emperor's words undoubtedly exaggerated Nian Gengyao's achievements, making Nian Gengyao even more rampant and intolerable. It was time for him to raise his butcher knife.
"If you are disloyal, you are not my descendant; if you have other intentions, you are not my subject."
Fu Cha Fu De knelt behind him, not daring to raise his head.
Your Majesty, this is too scary. What you said is simply pushing Nian Gengyao to his death.
"Empress Hua is devoted to the inner world, and I am loyal to the outer world. My brother and I will live up to the emperor's kindness and work hard for him."
Nian Gengyao was quite moved when he looked at the emperor, and the resentment he had felt for the emperor's preference for Fucha Fude also dissipated a lot.
"Concubine Nian has indeed been thoughtful and meticulous in serving me for many years. Although there have been some mistakes, this contribution is even greater."
"In this case, I will restore your title today."
When the emperor saw that Nian Gengyao was still calling Concubine Hua, murderous intent flashed across his eyes, but the next second he looked at Concubine Nian with tenderness and said.
Concubine Nian felt so shy under the emperor's gentle gaze.
When he heard that the emperor had restored his title, he was even more delighted.
As expected, the emperor still has himself in his heart. No matter how many tricks these little bitches use, they can't defeat him.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang took so much trouble to design a plan so that they would lose their titles, but as soon as their brother came back, the emperor remembered their good deeds and the title returned to them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I will serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the future."
Concubine Hua looked at the emperor shyly, then stood up and bowed.
At the same time, he did not forget to cast a provocative look at Fu Cha Zhixi who was sitting next to him.
You see, even if you have a child, the emperor still cares about me more.
"Sit down now."
The emperor smiled and waved to Concubine Hua.
He turned his head to look at Nian Gengyao who was kneeling on the ground and continued speaking.
"You have always been my loyal minister. I am lucky to have a frontier official like you guarding the border for me. If there are more capable officials like you in the court, I will not have to worry about not being able to govern this country well."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nian Gengyao was deeply moved by the emperor's words and thanked him with a trembling voice.
"Jing'an, although you are young, you are quite capable. You have made many contributions in the past few months. It can be seen that this battlefield is the place where you can display your strength. You were buried before."
"But this is mainly your fault, father. Are you reluctant to give your son to me as a subject?"
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Fu De and said with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not my father's fault."
"When I was at home, I was the most mischievous of all the brothers. So my father was always worried about me doing things for him, fearing that he would cause trouble and bring shame to the family."
"However, my father supports me in going to the northwest. He has always taught me that as a minister, I should solve problems for the emperor. It's just that my mother is a little worried about me."
Fu Cha Fu De pretended not to hear the emperor's test of their family and answered with a smile.
She blamed everything on her own mischief and ignorance, in order to reduce the emperor's suspicion of her family as much as possible.
"I see. Your father is just too cautious. There's nothing wrong with this boy being a little naughty. It's not to the extent of bringing shame to the family."
The emperor looked at Fu Cha Fu De's honest face and couldn't help shaking his head and speaking with a smile.
"You have made remarkable achievements on the battlefield over the past few months. You have lived up to my expectations of you. You are no less capable than Huo Qubing who conquered the Wolf's Lair."
"Liang Gong is quite capable. I asked you to follow Liang Gong. You must learn from him well. I hope you can become my loyal minister like Liang Gong in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will study hard and live up to your kindness."
Fucha Fude bowed to the emperor very respectfully.
"This glass of wine is for you two."
The emperor raised the wine glass in his hand and spoke to the two kneeling men.
The two of them quickly stood up, took the wine glass handed over by the young eunuch, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, sit back down."
The emperor waved his hand at the two of them and said.
"What is the situation in Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu and Shaanxi now? Is there any unrest?"
The emperor asked.
"Everything is fine."
"But before I went to the capital, I heard from my subordinates that there were some unusual movements in the Shersu tribe in the Zhuozi Mountain area. I am worried that this tribe has rebellious intentions and will take advantage of the time when I am back in the capital to cause some trouble."
Nian Gengyao spoke to the emperor without blushing or beating his heart. After all, whether he had committed a crime or not was just a matter of his words.
"Sure enough, I just received news yesterday that this tribe is causing trouble in the Zhuanglang area of Gansu."
Nian Gengyao did not try to hide the fact that he had received the news faster than the emperor. Instead, he spoke calmly.
"It's just a mob, so there's no need to worry too much about it."
The emperor's eyes were slightly stern. How come he hadn't received any news about the unrest in this place?
Is it that the people of the Guillotine are incompetent, or is it that this turmoil did not exist at all?
"Your Majesty is right, but I heard that the Shersu tribe is planning to unite with the Xinjiang Gordan tribe to support each other. We must be on guard."
Nian Gengyao was completely unaware of the change in the emperor's eyes and continued speaking very naturally.
"So what do you think?"
The emperor asked in a natural manner.
"This Shersu is just a small tribe of a thousand people, so it's unlikely to cause any major chaos. If we send a general to fight, it would seem that the court is taking it too seriously, and would lose the bearing of a great power. But if we don't take more precautions, it might lead to a major turmoil and affect the entire situation."
Nian Gengyao continued.
"So I dare to recommend my second son Nianfu to fight against the Shersu tribe. Although he is young, he has been to the battlefield with me, so I want him to practice."
"Your Majesty, the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me and my sister Xuanfei to be here."
