Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 17: A loving father and a filial son? Just a show!

Eunuch Chang brought Yang Xiu and others directly to the familiar imperial garden.

That’s right, the old Deng of Emperor Qi is still in the imperial garden.

This guy is like the boss of the Imperial Garden every day.

Shen Zhong, who was standing aside, looked at Yang Xiu and Qingniao in front of him with some surprise.

He was somewhat frightened. Was Yang Xiu's favor with His Majesty so great?
You know, there are guards at the gate of the palace, and the main role of the guards is to take off armor.

It is not allowed to bring anything, including weapons, when meeting the emperor.

Although Yang Xiu had no weapon in his hand, no one knew when the strange box disappeared.

But Bluebird was holding a spear upside down in his hand.

However, from some of the conversations he had just heard.

The relationship between Emperor Qi and Yang Xiu didn't seem to be that good.

It should be said that these two people are wary of each other.

Then why would anyone bring weapons to meet the emperor?
Shen Zhong simply couldn't understand it.

Not long after, inside the Imperial Garden.

Yang Xiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"

Qingniao and Shenzhong on the side also saluted.

The Emperor of Qi was playing with birds.

Seeing several people coming, he waved his hand casually: "No need to be polite! You took down a base of the Overwatch Council?"

Yang Xiu nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty! The secret agents of the Supervisory Council found that two ninth-rank soldiers died and one escaped! In addition, six eighth-rank soldiers died! The casualties above the eighth-rank exceeded 20! All the strongholds in Shangjing must be wiped out!"

Emperor Qi nodded: "Not bad! You did a very good job. The loss this time will be enough to make the Supervisory Council feel distressed for a long time!"

Shen Zhong was trembling on the side. He should be responsible for reporting the results of the battle.

But he didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Qi handed the birdcage in his hand to Eunuch Chang who was standing beside him.

Then he looked at Shen Zhong and said, "The Supervisory Council was able to place three ninth-rank masters in Shangjing! Shen Zhong, you are doing a good job as a Jinyiwei!"

Shen Zhong trembled all over and hurriedly called His Majesty.

He banged his head heavily.

"Your Majesty! I know my crime. Please punish me!"

Emperor Qi ignored Shen Zhong.

Instead, he looked at Yang Xiu who was standing beside him.

"Yang Xiu! How do you think I should deal with Shen Zhong?"

Yang Xiu said: "Your Majesty is the king, how to deal with the ministers! Naturally, it is your Majesty who has the final say, and I dare not overstep my authority!"

The Emperor of Qi waved his hand and said, "I told you to speak, so you speak!"

Yang Xiu glanced at Emperor Qi.

After thinking about it for a while.

Yang Xiu said: "Since Your Majesty asked me to speak, then I will speak!"

Shen Zhong, who was standing aside, felt some hope in his heart. After all, he had a good relationship with the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion over the years, so he felt that Yang Xiu would definitely plead for him.

At that time, as long as you can save your life, everything else will not be a big problem.

It's okay even if you get pushed all the way down.

With the support of Prince Zhennan's Mansion, he will be able to rise sooner or later.

However, the next moment, Yang Xiu opened his mouth and Shen Zhong's eyes widened.

Yang Xiu said: "Your Majesty! I think this dereliction of duty is a serious matter. If it doesn't work, just kill him!"

Shen Zhong almost vomited blood.

Okay, okay, you know how to beg for mercy.

Really!

Shen Zhong never dreamed that Yang Xiu would say this.

His body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Eunuch Chang and Emperor Qi were also stunned for a moment.

Only Qingniao's spear trembled slightly, and he seemed eager to try. After all, in Qingniao's view, Shen Zhong was in charge of the Jinyiwei in Shangjing, but he had caused Yang Xiu to be assassinated so many times.

He's just a piece of trash, it's better to kill him!
Changing someone might make Yang Xiu safer.

But Shen Zhong was indeed a bit wronged. The Jinyiwei was just established and was really unable to do enough.

Emperor Qi also looked at Yang Xiu in confusion.

This is not right.

In his script, Yang Xiu should beg for mercy.

Then he disagreed and put Shen Zhong in jail for a few days and then released him.

This will achieve the purpose of striking something heavy.

After all, Shen Zhong was close to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, and the Emperor of Qi saw it.

The Jinyiwei must be controlled by the royal family.

In the Qi Emperor's idea, the Jinyiwei should be lone ministers and not close to anyone.

Although Shen Zhong is now loyal to the royal family, he is too close to the Yang family.

He had to make Shen Zhong understand one thing, that is, in Northern Qi, the royal family would always have the final say.

Even though Shen Zhong was close to the Yang family, it was still him, the Emperor Qi, who decided Shen Zhong's fate in the end!

But, why the hell, why would he kill me right away?

The corners of Yang Xiu's mouth rose slightly.

Looking at Emperor Qi.

Then he said, "Your Majesty, do you have any concerns? Shen Zhong has committed such a serious mistake, he should be executed! If Your Majesty has any concerns, Your Majesty can issue an order! I will kill him directly!"

Emperor Qi looked at Yang Xiu and wondered in his heart if Yang Xiu had seen through his thoughts.
But Yang Xiucai is only four years old. Can he really see through it?
No matter how smart Yang Xiu is, he will never have the chance to learn this kind of imperial mentality!

Emperor Qi said, "Killing him directly is too much! Demote him two levels and cut his salary for three years as a punishment! Now there is no suitable person, Shen Zhong will continue to lead the Jinyiwei and make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence!"

Emperor Qi was too lazy to think about whether Yang Xiu had really seen through his plan.

You can't really let Shen Zhong chop him down.

Shen Zhong suddenly felt relieved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will die a hundred times to repay your grace!"

Yang Xiu also bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is merciful! You are truly a wise ruler of the time. It is a blessing for the officials and people of Da Qi to have Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qi waved his hand: "Alright! Shen Zhong, you go down first!"

Shen Zhong bowed quickly; he had wanted to leave for a long time.

This is too scary.

After Shen Zhong left.

The Emperor of Qi called Yang Xiu, "Come on, Xiaoxiu, come and sit down! It's been a long time since I've had a private conversation with you!"

Yang Xiu didn't hesitate and just sat down.

He picked up the teapot beside him and poured tea for Emperor Qi.

"Father! I, your son, have always liked to be by your side and listen to your teachings!"

Emperor Qi was shocked when he heard Yang Xiu's sudden change of address.

His eyes flickered, and without saying anything more, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Xiaoxiu, you can defeat a ninth-rank master! Not bad, not bad! You are worthy of being Susu's son! You are worthy of being the pillar of Da Qi! You are good at both civil and military affairs! Wonderful, wonderful! The future of Da Qi still depends on you young people, I am old!"

Yang Xiu quickly said, "Father, what are you talking about? Father is in his prime!"

The two of them praised each other's business, and to outsiders, it really looked like a picture of a loving father and a filial son.

After chatting for a while, the Emperor of Qi said, "Alright! It's getting late. You are too lazy, kid! Today is your first day on duty. How could you forget? Go find General Uesugi and take over!"

Yang Xiu pretended to be enlightened: "I was so engrossed in listening to my father's teachings that I forgot the time. I will take my leave now!"

After Yang Xiu left.

Emperor Qi looked at Yang Xiu's back.

Slide your fingers over the teacup.

"Old Chang! Tell me, should I kill him? He is so amazing! So amazing that I am already scared! If I am gone, who in Da Qi can suppress him? Even if I give birth to a prince in the future, can the prince really suppress him?"

Joy of Life, the TV series should be the main focus, with some of the novel settings as a supplement. As for the reason, it has been too long since I read the novel and I have forgotten too much. If there are any problems with the settings, you can point them out, but don't scold me! I have a sensitive heart and will be soft when scolded!
