The Evil Faces Around Me Chapter 5

It's still dark yet, but he has already gotten up to work. He doesn't understand why there are so many people competing for the emperor's position.

Forget it, whoever likes to fight can fight, I'm going to run away anyway.

He complained bitterly in his heart while pulling the timeline, hoping that Nathan would usurp the throne quickly so that he could be free to go home and farm.

It takes an hour to walk from his bedroom to the main hall of the court, so by the time Finn sat on the dragon throne, a large group of courtiers were already standing under the court, all waiting for his arrival.

The handsome guy in black in the front row behind the general looked familiar---if he took a closer look, he saw that it was his resentful queen Nathan.

Finn's eyelids twitched and he pretended not to see it.

"Your Majesty has arrived, let's start the court."

As a cold and majestic female voice sounded from behind the bead curtain, Finn also officially started working as a mascot.

The Empress Dowager gave the order, and the court hall, which had been solemn and quiet just now, was like an explosion. The ministers were all talking, complaining, complaining, and fighting. It was more lively than the vegetable market.

But it’s not all nonsense, there are indeed a few big things happening recently.

One is that they had a great victory against the northern nomadic tribe Dijon a few years ago. As the defeated party, the Dijon envoy was forced to submit a letter of surrender and request for peace in exchange for a moment of peace; the other was that there was a severe drought in the northwest this spring, and the prefect of Hongzhou More than a dozen memorials were reported in succession, hoping that the court would promptly allocate funds for disaster relief.

In addition, there were also petitions from several civil servants pleading for the re-opening of the Enke selection process for students from poor families, as well as the voices of some people accusing the children of wealthy families of misbehaving and causing harm to one party. Unfortunately, the words of those people were quickly replaced by others. People covered it up, but no one listened at all.

Finn watched them all from the dragon chair, silently enjoying the show and not caring about anything.

Nathan, who had been silent all this time, also stood up at this moment. He said in a deep voice to the dragon chair at the top: "Your Majesty, I do not agree to the marriage. Although I have won this battle, the Dijon wolf is still determined. If he does not take advantage of the opportunity, Annihilate them in one fell swoop. Maybe these thieves will be involved again in the future and become a serious problem for my great cause! "

When he spoke, he looked straight ahead, with an upright attitude that was incompatible with the other noisy courtiers.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Master, who was the first civil servant, spoke up: "The General's words are wrong - you must understand the principle of not pursuing the enemy when you are poor. The war in Dijon has long been over, so why should we kill them all? Your Majesty has always Being generous and merciful, this is the time to demonstrate the prestige of my great cause, so how can I do something that adds insult to injury? "

Nathan turned to look at the energetic old man with white hair and said in a cold voice, "The grand master is so proud that he has never been on the battlefield for a day. It's ridiculous to say these things!"

"You are a woman of kindness, you should not be merciful to your enemies!"

"The general is still young and vigorous." The grand master said slowly, as if he didn't take him seriously: "Although Dijon's aura is weak at this time, he is also wild. The general does things too ruthlessly, knowing that they are trying to survive. What if we both end up losing in a fight to the death?"

"Besides, wars only waste people and money. In the past few years, there have been frequent turmoils at the frontiers. When the late emperor was still alive, there was not much peace. Floods in the south caused famine in the north. Most of the imperial treasury was emptied. This year, there is a severe drought in the northwest. What are we going to do with it? fight?"

Nathan's expression became darker as he spoke. He stared at the hypocritical face of the Grand Master and spoke loudly: "Why is the treasury empty? Does the Grand Master really not understand the real reason?"

While the two were arguing, the Tian brothers jumped out again. They were professional polemicists. Regardless of whether they would hit each other fifty times, they spoke fiercely and had a scornful attitude. It was obvious that they didn't like these two big shots. , came purely to stir up trouble.

Seeing that the quarrel below was about to turn into a vegetable market again, the Queen Mother behind the bead curtain finally spoke up.

"Stop arguing." She said in an extremely displeased tone, "You are all ministers of my great cause. What does it look like to make such a fuss?"

"The Ai family is well aware of the matter of marriage."

"Since Dijon is no longer in power, and given the benefit of paying tribute every year, this marriage is nothing more than a few people in the palace, so it is not difficult."

Finn sat obediently on the dragon chair, looking at his nose and heart. He is only seventeen years old now and is not yet old enough to govern independently. It is no longer a secret that the Queen Mother handles state affairs behind the curtain. Now that the gods are fighting, he, the cannon fodder, had better keep his mouth shut. To avoid getting into trouble.

The Queen Mother's words made Nathan's face look even more ugly. He refused to back down and stepped forward and said bluntly: "The Queen Mother's words are wrong. The marriage involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries. How can you decide it with just one sentence? Besides, it was originally to His Majesty. There are so many people in the harem, why doesn't the Queen Mother ask His Majesty's opinion personally? "

With one word, he successfully set fire to Finn, who was watching from the sidelines. Everyone focused their attention, as if they just realized that there was someone sitting on the dragon chair.

Finn, who ate melon on himself: ...

Gan.

He remembered that the original work did have such a plot, but because the original owner was busy with the three beauties in the harem, he had no time to think about the marriage, so he firmly decided against it. The marriage failed, and Dijon had no choice but to move the whole family. Later, the ending was unresolved and was not detailed in the book.

If he followed the original work, Finn should refuse now. But when he thought of his current situation, the pressure exerted by the Queen Mother on his back made him sit on pins and needles. In front of him, Nathan's eyes were as bright as a wolf and a tiger. He moved uneasily and planned to reconcile: "This matter, this matter is not trivial, let me We will discuss it after discussing it with the Queen Mother. If you have anything else to report, please submit it in a written form."

"Retreat from the court."

After saying that, he stood up from the throne and left the courtiers where they were. No matter how much they argued, he didn't want to stay any longer.

After going to court, Finn went to Wenchang Pavilion, where he studied. The genius has just dawned. He had not gotten up at this time in his previous life, but now he has been busy for a long time. After eating a plate of snacks to satisfy his stomach, he met the third c0ncubine in his harem.
