Realizing that his power wasn't as great as he had imagined, Ji Hao's mood instantly turned a bit bad.
It was simply a disgrace that the Emperor had done this.
Today, he wanted to see just how much of a figurehead he, the emperor, had become.
"Minister Cai, Minister Yan, why haven't I heard about this before?”
Ji Hao was angry, but he still had a slight hope. He didn't let it out, but said to Cai Jing and Yan Song kindly.
"Your Majesty, this is just a small matter. I think these things are not important, so I didn't report it to Your Majesty.”
Cai Jing said calmly.
Obviously, he thought that this was only natural and there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. These lowly officials will handle these matters well and ensure that Your Majesty can rest assured.”
Yan Song also said cooperatively.
In their consensus, the emperor only needed to listen to the good news and be happy to be the emperor.
As for the other matters, the Emperor did not need to worry about them.
Ji Hao, who had a slight hope, heard their words, and his chest heaved up and down intensely.
His originally good mood instantly disappeared.
He finally understood.
These treacherous officials had long been in cahoots, deceiving their superiors and controlling the government.
He was almost about to be made a figurehead by them.
This made him want to fly into a rage.
"My dear ministers, do you also think that this is a small matter?”
Ji Hao glanced at the imperial court and said blandly while trying to make himself furious.
In the end, most of them replied in unison,""Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Ji Hao felt his heart turn cold.
He did not expect that the situation in the royal court had already become so terrible.
He had almost been turned into a figurehead by a group of treacherous officials.
Under such circumstances, even if he wanted to do something, he could not do it.
At this moment, Ji Hao even wanted to kick the table in front of him.
However, after looking at the situation in the court, he had no choice but to take a few deep breaths and suppress all his anger.
……
"They actually want to treat me as a decoration. Is it because I can't lift my saber, or are they too arrogant?”
In Ji Hao's heart, a killing intent had been brewing.
However, after being the emperor for so many years, he still had this shrewdness.
Even though he had a killing intent in his heart, he did not show it at all. Instead, he smiled.
"Since all the beloved ministers have said so, zhen can rest assured.”
"However, the people are ultimately my people, so I should be concerned.”
Ji Hao smilingly said to the group of ministers, then turned to Ma Chang.
"Minister Ma, is the current natural disaster really that serious?”
Ji Hao asked in a relaxed tone on purpose, but his heart was already extremely serious.
In the past, he did not care too much about people's livelihood.
In his opinion, he would rather spend his energy on his own woman.
He also believed in the abilities of his officials.
With so many capable ministers around, the world would not be in chaos.
If the world was not in chaos, wouldn't it be wonderful for him to sit on the throne?
But now, looking at the treacherous officials who were bullying their subordinates, coupled with the natural disasters that Ma Chang had mentioned, he was shocked.
This was going to be chaotic.
Hearing Ji Hao's question, Ma Chang couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope.
He had reported this to Ji Hao before.
However, under the deception of Cai Jing and Yan Song, Ji Hao didn't even think about investigating.
Now that His Majesty had taken the initiative to ask, it would be a blessing for the people if His Majesty took it seriously.
"Your Majesty, the north has been in a drought for half a year this year. The people have not harvested anything, and there have even been cases of people exchanging their children for food.”
"There is a huge flood in the south. The homes of the people have been destroyed and they are homeless. Heavy casualties."
"In addition, evil sects are rampant. If this continues, I'm afraid it will shake the foundation of the Great Zhou.”
With a sliver of hope in his heart, Ma Chang could not care less and directly told him everything he knew.
The moment he said this, the expressions of many officials immediately turned a little ugly.
They told Ji Hao that the world was peaceful and the people were rich.
Now, wasn't Ma Chang slapping them in the face by saying this?
In just an instant, the treacherous officials reached a consensus.
They stared at Ma Chang with unfriendly eyes, already scheming in their hearts to pull Ma Chang down.
……
Those officials were thinking of pulling Ma Chang down.
To them, they didn't care if the world was chaotic or not.
They only cared about whether they could stabilize their status and power.
In their eyes, Ji Hao only needed to be his happy emperor.
They couldn't wait for Ji Hao to stay in the harem every day and not care about the world.
However, Ji Hao didn't have the mood to care about what they were thinking.
Natural disasters continued to occur, treacherous officials were in power, the people were displaced, evil sects were rampant, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had been around for almost a thousand years…
Combining all these features, Ji Hao couldn't help but come to a conclusion.
This was the performance of the late dynasty.
