Peace Order

Chapter 1852 - 2: Emperor Ying’s Maneuvers

Today, Jiang Su is absent.

Qin Yulong is absent.

Jiang Yuan suddenly feels cheerful and refreshed—

As for Yuwen Lie, although he is within the court, he claims to be ill and refuses to march out. Even though Jiang Yuan knows that this person is indeed arrogant and disrespectful, he also understands that Yuwen Lie will not appear outside during this period.

Aside from Wei Yiwen, truly no one has any authority to hinder him. Initially, Jiang Yuan could still disguise himself as a saintly figure to deal with the ministers and officials.

Suddenly, one day he woke up late, his heart was panicked, and his steps became somewhat hurried.

He could only think in his mind.

Today the Grandmaster will surely reprimand me!

Passing through the palace gardens, he saw the autumn scenery and sunlight pouring down, suddenly enlightened, he paused his steps, and then murmured to himself: "Now that Jiang Su is away, and Yuwen Lie shuts himself in, only that old cur Wei Yiwen might criticize me."

"I am the Emperor, how could an Emperor stoop so low and toil day after day?"

"There is absolutely no such reason!"

Thus, he turned to stroll into the courtyard, laughing and playing with concubines and beauties, the whole day without realizing, Wei Yiwen was originally full of worries—indeed that Emperor Qin is truly troublesome, possessing the demeanor and tactics like a founding Emperor, worthy of being the foremost character of the era.

Such a person coming to raid the borders and seizing the initiative.

The strategy used, was precisely what was used against this Prince Qin years ago, considered a legitimate and open scheme, even someone as mighty as Military God Jiang Su on the battlefield, would still suffer against such an open plan.

No other way—

If you don’t stop Prince Qin, Prince Qin will advance directly.

By then, the territories will be seized.

Stopping Prince Qin would mean Military God Jiang Su, who possesses the greatest martial power and prestige in the court, is being engaged in a different sense, and if problems arise at the court, Jiang Su blocking at the frontline would also be far-reaching.

Back then against the Qilin Army, which had a single-core force, the combat skills prepared, when falling upon oneself, only then realize what pain means.

Today, reports of layered battles from the frontline have arrived, along with matters requiring handling.

Wei Yiwen and the officials wait outside for several hours, still not seeing a sign of Your Majesty, this great scholar and Prime Minister became furious, blocking an eunuch and saying: "Where is Your Majesty?!"

The eunuch responded: "I do not know..."

Wei Yiwen finally grew angry, he forcefully shook off the eunuch, walked out of the court, using Confucianism’s Qi Observation Skill, saw the Emperor in a pavilion among waterside pavilions, spending time with beauties, the Overlord who holds half the realm, using a light veil from a woman’s waist to cover the eyes, only focused on spreading arms to embrace.

Even though Wei Yiwen has weathered political storms, at such a time, he too looked cold-faced.

"Hahaha, where to go, where to go!"

"Such beautiful women, so obedient, knowing to wait here for me!"

Jiang Yuan laughed loudly, spreading his arms, immediately hugging the person in front, but raising his hand to tear down the thin veil before him, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, beautiful, such a beauty, why don’t you speak... you..."

His smile froze.

Upon seeing the dignified and solemn, cold-faced elder, his heart has a bit of fear, stepping back several steps, he said: "...Original, originally the Prime Minister."

Wei Yiwen’s gaze swept around, those women who accompanied the Emperor in play and laughter instantly looked terrified, all bowing and stepping back, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat complacent, Wei Yiwen’s face grew cold and said: "Why doesn’t Your Majesty speak?!"

This old official was heartbroken, saying: "Your Majesty, the safety of the realm changes suddenly, all within an instant, you do not put your mind to the great affairs of the state, but focus on the body of a powder girl, how could one abandon the state for the sake of a woman?!"

Jiang Yuan appeared respectful, but his heart remained displeased.

Thus, secretly resenting Wei Yiwen.

Later speaking with the Guanglu Doctor Guo Yanjun he said: "I am the Emperor, sitting on the realm, how could I be humiliated by this old cur!"

Guo Yanjun agreed, and also said that on the court, the numerous officials, all are loyal ministers and good generals, all ought to be loyal to the country, relieve worries for Your Majesty, thus advising the Emperor to attend the court once every five days, only needing to go to the court once every five days to deal with complex affairs, saying:

"The late Emperor was in vain laborious."

Jiang Yuan seemed amused, casually tossing a fruit over.

Guo Yanjun knelt on the ground, holding the fruit, loudly proclaiming: "Thank Your Majesty for the Holy Fruit award!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Why is it called Holy Fruit?"

Guo Yanjun said: "Your Majesty is a Saint, is the Emperor, where you tread, gods protect, evils do not invade, naturally is a Saint, what the Saint touches, has the aura of Saint Emperor dragon, for prisoners, it naturally is a Holy Fruit."

With Jiang Yuan’s intelligence, he naturally knew Guo Yanjun was merely flattering.

But he was vain by nature, now already a ruler of a nation, controlling half of the world’s lands, naturally feeling that everything is within his grasp, just sneeringly calling a courtier, then pays no mind.

Initially, Jiang Yuan disguised himself as talented and virtuous, still held himself rigorous, but now the great position is in hand, Emperor Qin Li Guanyi is tightly blocked by Grandmaster Jiang Su, although worried, Jiang Su is after all elderly, perhaps no match for Emperor Qin.

Thus, initially, he was determined not to be indolent.

To establish accomplishments like the ancestors.

Recording brilliant achievements in history.

But due to no one watching over him, coupled with Prince Qin’s threat fading, and Guo Yanjun’s persuasion like [rest today, no need to labor in vain, wasting time in life], the defense in his heart gradually lowered.

Initially, of course, did not attend court once every five days.
