Chapter 457 Forgot!
However, the ugly and angry look on Marquis Ruyang's face that everyone imagined did not happen. Instead, the Marquis looked at his son with satisfaction, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied and proud of it!
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
You are worthy of being the Marquis. You can remain calm even in such a situation. You have great patience!
I just don’t know if we can still live in harmony like this after we return home.
After all, who would want their son to climb over their father's head?
It was just a reward, but Shen Chenli and Yu Tingwan, sitting high in their seats, seemed to be watching all kinds of people, and the changes in expressions of everyone in the hall were all in their eyes.
"Now I finally understand how it feels like when a teacher watches his students making small movements!"
It was so clear, everyone's little movements were exposed to the teacher's eyes without any blind spots!
When Shen Chenli heard her words, a strange look appeared on his face. He raised his eyes and looked at the actions and expressions of the ministers below again, and his expression became even more strange.
He knew exactly what Yu Tingwan meant, and he often listened to her talk about interesting things in that world when he was bored in the space.
So when I take a look today, it’s really just as she said!
They thought no one noticed their actions and their expressions were impeccable, but on this high platform, everyone's facial expressions were visible to them.
Thinking of what Yu Tingwan said, when I was a student, I was self-righteous and made little movements in class, and the teacher on the stage couldn't see it.
Little do you know that the teachers are simply too lazy to pay attention to you. They know better than anyone what you are doing sitting there!
Even though the ministers were envious and jealous, they were unable to change the emperor's mind.
After all, all the power is in their hands. Even the officials in the Censorate are the emperor's men. Whatever they say is useless!
By the time another pile of imperial edicts were brought out to reward royal merchants and people from the underworld, the court officials had already become numb.
This dinner was so filling that everyone was choking!
There is nothing for them to do at all, they are just here to make up the numbers. Maybe the emperor doesn't want them to come at all, and the purpose of inviting them to the banquet is just to make the scene look grander and let them celebrate for these people.
Didn’t you see that even the previous imperial merchant could sit in this hall?
Didn’t you see that there were a bunch of gangsters sitting on the other side?
Even though they did not receive any rewards such as official titles or ranks, they were given large amounts of gold, silver, and jewelry, and each of them was given a mansion in the capital.
A mansion in the capital!
Look at the rewards, and see that these people from the martial arts world don't look down on the imperial court at all, and they all have happy faces.
What happened in the end?
Why did the world suddenly become something they couldn’t understand?
After the last imperial edict was read, the hall was silent for a moment. The ministers didn't know what to say for a moment, but they didn't dare to remain silent. They could only look at the emperor at the top with smiles on their faces.
Your Majesty, we are not unhappy. We are very happy!
No matter what the people below thought, after Shen Chenli finished reading the imperial edict, he directly ordered people to start the banquet. The ministers could only sit in their seats and watch the singing and dancing with a cheerful appearance.
See, what else can you do?
"Strange, no one raised any objections today?"
Shen Chenli placed the newly served dish in front of Yu Tingwan, picked up a piece of hot food and put it in her bowl, then smiled and said:
"Most of the military power in Dasheng is in my hands, and another 200,000 soldiers are in the hands of the Duke of Fuguo. If they want to object, they have to think about whether they dare to do so!"
These words immediately made Yu Tingwan laugh. She ate while teasing Shen Chenli.
"I thought you would be suppressed by these old scholars with all kinds of rules after you came to power!"
After all, he had endured for more than ten years just for a word from the late emperor!
Hearing Yu Tingwan teasing him like this, a helpless smile flashed in Shen Chenli's eyes.
"If I am constrained like this as the emperor, what's the point of being the emperor? I don't want to be a puppet emperor!"
Now that you have become the emperor, it is natural that you should keep the power of control in your own hands, instead of having to look at other people's faces before you can say a word or drink a cup of tea!
Yu Tingwan also nodded, agreeing in his heart.
Indeed, if the emperor's thoughts and actions can be controlled by everyone, he will be just a puppet in a high position.
Not to mention whether to have a large harem, I'm afraid that my every word and action will be controlled by others. What's the point of being an emperor!
Therefore, the emperor is not really controlled by the court officials in everything he does. It depends on whether you can suppress them. After all, he is an emperor. If every emperor wants to be so cowardly, it is better to meet his ancestors as soon as possible!
"Hey! Um, where's Shen Haocang? How's he doing? And the Queen Mother..."
Speaking of these emperors, Yu Tingwan suddenly remembered that there was a former emperor in this palace!
It's been two days since they came back, and no one has noticed what happened to these two people?
However, no one reported these two people to them, so they must still be alive!
Hearing Yu Tingwan asking about these two people, Shen Chenli frowned slightly and called the butler Chen beside him to inquire about the matter.
Butler Chen had been guarding the palace when they left the capital, so he naturally knew the situation of these two people and quickly reported their current situation to Yu Tingwan and the others.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Master Imperial Master, I originally thought that these two would not be able to hold out for a few days, but I didn't expect that they could hold out until now under such circumstances. They are just a little embarrassed now."
In fact, it was not just a common embarrassment. After all, they only cared about letting them live until the emperor returned. As for other things, that was not within their scope of responsibility.
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him in surprise.
He still survived like this? Could it be true what that saying said?
Will the harm last for thousands of years?
After hearing this, Shen Chenli sneered. What were these two people waiting for?
Waiting for someone to rescue them?
Who dares to save them now? They have brought this upon themselves.
Since they want to live so much, it’s not impossible for him to help them!
"Since they are so stubborn, let them live well and feed them as usual!"
After hearing what Shen Chenli said, Butler Chen instantly understood what he meant. He quickly responded and then retreated.
Even knowing that the two were not dead did not affect Shen Chenli's good mood at all.
After all, it’s not worth it for just these two people, right?
The entire banquet was spent with Shen Chenli and Yu Tingwan watching the fun, those who were being rewarded laughing, and the ministers who were there to join in the fun, faking smiles.
Who was truly happy, who was pretending to be happy, and who was gritting his teeth in anger? The two people who saw it clearly just smiled and said nothing.
It’s lively, it’s best if everyone comes and joins in!
After the palace banquet was over, the two people who returned to the bedroom suddenly realized, oh, they also have a Prince Xiyan here, who was not invited to the banquet and is still living in the Jiang Mansion!
Yu Tingwan and the other person looked at each other in surprise when they suddenly thought of this.
Tsk!
