A Strong Dragon Cannot Suppress a Local Snake?
At this moment, outside Li Ke's room.
Li Ke's dozen or so personal guards were angrily facing the thirty or so officials in front of them. All of them gripped the Great Tang Mo Sword at their waists, their eyes sharp.
These personal guards could be said to be the only power that Li Ke had in Yizhou. If not for these personal guards, Li Ke might not be lying in a room now, but in a grave.
"His Highness is currently recuperating and refuses to meet guests! Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being rough!”
He Chenglin glared at the officials in front of him, his voice extremely cold.
"How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to? This is the magistrate of our Yizhou. If you dare to be so rude again, even His Highness won't be able to save you!”
At this moment, the Zhizhou of Yizhou, Zhao He, suddenly pointed at He Chenglin and said angrily.
When the other officials saw this, they also continuously criticized He Chenglin.
"A mere personal guard dares to point fingers at our Lord Yang, truly courting death!”
"Our Lord Yang is also worried about Your Highness 'safety and is afraid that Your Highness will affect the lives of the people of Yizhou. That's why he took the trouble to share the burden for Your Highness.”
"Lord Yang, I saw His Highness 'injuries last night. His head is bleeding and his injuries are very serious. He definitely won't be able to get up, so I hope Lord Yang will work harder and take over the position of Viceroy!”
All the officials were talking one after another, not taking He Chenglin and the others seriously at all.
All of them kept nodding and bowing to Magistrate Yang, not bothering to hide their flattery.
Zhizhou Zhao He rolled his eyes and directly knelt down to Member Yang. He said,""Lord Yang, I know that Lord Yang is tired of being a magistrate, but Yizhou cannot be without a Viceroy, and Jiannan Road cannot be without a Viceroy. Among us, only Lord Yang is qualified to be the Viceroy!”
"Therefore, this humble official dares to ask Lord Yang to take over the position of Viceroy. This humble official will directly petition the Imperial Court. I believe that after the Imperial Court knows the thoughts of our Yizhou officials, they will definitely agree to Lord Yang taking over the position of Viceroy!”
As soon as Zhao He finished speaking, the other officials of Yizhou also scrambled to kneel down in front of Member Yang, saying that they would submit a petition to the court to support Member Yang as the Viceroy.
Seeing this, member Yang's eyes flashed with pride, but his face revealed a troubled expression. He said," You guys…Sigh, the burden on my shoulders is already very heavy. To be honest, I really don't want to care about those things anymore, but since my colleagues trust me and His Highness is unconscious, then I can only make things difficult for myself and work harder as the Viceroy…"
Clang!
Before Member Yang could finish his sentence, he heard a clang. Then, he subconsciously looked up.
" What?!"
Member Yang's pupils constricted, and his expression changed slightly.
The others also looked in the direction of the voice. In the next moment, they heard a series of exclamations.
"This…"
"Your Highness?"
"You…how could you be okay…"
Everyone subconsciously exclaimed. Then, they realized that they had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered their legs.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward and heavy.
The door of the room in front of them was suddenly pushed open, and Li Ke's figure appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, Li Ke was wearing a long robe with a dragon python on it. His head was still bandaged, but this did not affect his shocking scene.
Li Ke walked out of the door and smiled at the people who suddenly closed their mouths. He said,"You guys continue, don't worry about me. Lord Yang, you haven't finished your words, continue, just pretend I don't exist.”
Member Yang's eyes twitched when he heard this. What else could he say?
You're here, and you still want me to say it? What the hell am I saying!
He took a deep breath, then cupped his hands towards Li Ke and said with a smile,"This humble official greets Your Highness. Previously, I heard that Your Highness was ambushed by assassins and was seriously injured. I was worried and came here to visit Your Highness. Seeing that Your Highness is safe and sound, this humble official is relieved.”
"Oh? Was that so? But why do I feel like you're very disappointed!”Li Ke chuckled.
"This…Your Highness, you really know how to joke. This lowly official can't be happier. How can I be disappointed!”Member Yang said with a hint of gloominess in his eyes.
When Li Ke heard Member Yang's words, he did not say anything. He turned his gaze to the other officials and saw that these officials were still kneeling in front of Member Yang. Everyone had an extremely embarrassed and complicated expression on their faces.
He chuckled and said," The Tang Empire does not have the custom of kneeling. Even when we meet Father, we bow. We only kneel when we pay our respects to the heavens and earth and when we show great kindness! Then what is Lord Yang's identity that is worthy of all of you kneeling down?”
"This…"
"We are…"
"This is…"
When the officials heard this, their faces revealed hesitation and hesitation. They did not know how to answer at all.
In Yizhou, Member Yang was the sky of Yizhou. All the officials in Yizhou treated Member Yang as a local emperor. Therefore, they bowed to Member Yang in order to gain his favor.
However, all of them knew this, but they could not say it out loud.
Otherwise, he would be beheaded!
Therefore, even the quick-witted Zhao He did not know how to answer.
Seeing this, Li Ke's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His originally smiling face suddenly turned cold. Looking at the people in front of him, Li Ke smiled coldly."Even when you met my father, you didn't kneel down. But today, you are bowing so respectfully to Member Yang. Could it be that in your hearts, Member Yang's status is even higher than my father's?”
