At night.
"Master, there's a man surnamed Wang who said he wants to send you a painting.”
Yan Hao had given the task of receiving the emissary from the Northern Kingdom to the Ministry of Rites. Not long after he returned to the residence, his lackey Yan Nian came to report that Wang Zhezhai, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had come to visit.
"Let him in."
Soon, Yan Hao saw Wang Zhezhai holding a long box in front of him.
"Grand Secretary Yan, this is the River Map you wanted. I was muddle-headed a few days ago, please forgive me.”Wang Zhezhai's attitude was very humble.
Yan Hao nodded in satisfaction. He took the long box and opened it. There was a painting inside. She opened it and saw that it was indeed the painting she saw at Wang Zhezhai's house. It was exactly the same.
However, Yan Hao did not care much about the River Map. He was more concerned about the system points. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no notification from the system.
"System, I should be able to get points, right?" Yan Hao couldn't help but wonder. Why not?"
[This is a fake. It's not the real thing, so there are no points awarded.]”
Counterfeit?
Yan Hao's eyes suddenly turned cold, like a knife cutting Wang Zhezhai's face. He suddenly remembered that in normal history, Yan Hao was also fooled by Wang Zhezhai with a fake in the River Map without realizing it. It took a long time before he discovered it and the whole world knew about it.
Yan Hao was really angry now.
" Grand Secretary Yan…you…" Wang Zhezhai felt guilty.
"This is fake, right?" Yan Hao's voice was cold.
Wang Zhezhai was scared half to death, but he forced himself to remain calm."How could Grand Secretary Yan be fake? It's true."
"Humph!"
Suddenly, Yan Hao kicked Wang Zhezhai in the stomach without warning
Wang Zhezhai was kicked to the ground, but he couldn't care less because Yan Hao recognized that it was a fake.
This was a huge disaster.
Yan Hao's gaze was like a knife that cut him.""I'll give you a chance. Hand over the authentic River Map, or you'll die!”
However, this sentence directly aroused Wang Zhezhai's scholarly character. He shouted in pain,"Thief Yan, I, Wang Zhezhai, read the books of the sages and saints. I despise crafty sycophants like you who treat human lives with contempt, bring disaster to the country, and prey on the people. I can tell you clearly that this is a fake. How can the real thing be given to someone like you? That's simply humiliating!”
Crafty sycophants? Humiliation?
Yan Hao laughed angrily. You have a backbone, right? Soon, you will know what regret is!”
Yan Hao put the painting back into the box.
"What do you want?" Wang Zhezhai panicked.
"You'll know soon enough. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it.”Yan Hao sneered and strode out.
Wang Zhezhai had an ominous feeling that Yan Hao was going to do something big.
Soon, Yan Hao arrived at the palace.
"Why is Grand Secretary Yan here?" The young eunuch Feng Bao lowered his head and asked.
"In the middle of the year, the Emperor mentioned to me that he wanted to collect the River Map," Yan Hao said, beaming with joy."Unfortunately, I couldn't find any trace of it." Today, I finally found the authentic work of the River Map. I didn't want to delay for even a moment and rushed over to present it to the Emperor.”
"River Map?" Feng Bao was shocked.
This was an amazing thing. Although Feng Bao had not read much, the River Map was too famous, so he naturally knew about it.
This time, Feng Bao did not dare to delay and quickly said,"The emperor is currently in the royal study and is reviewing memorials.”
Before he could finish, Yan Hao had already walked far away. He was so fast that Feng Bao couldn't help but sigh."Grand Secretary Yan is indeed the Emperor's favored minister. He is too loyal to the Emperor. It's already so late, and he's in such a hurry.”
Feng Bao felt that his loyalty to the Emperor was not enough and felt ashamed. If he knew the truth, he would probably vomit blood. How was this loyalty? It was simply black-hearted!
Yan Hao soon arrived at the royal study. After summoning him, he saw Jiajia.
"Minister Yan, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?”
"Good news, Emperor, I found the River Map!”
" Ah!" Jiajia cried out in shock. She dropped the red pen that she was reading.
"Quick, show it to me!"
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Yan Hao opened the River Map as if he was presenting a treasure. Not long after, Jiajia's happy face began to frown.
"Minister Yan, this is a fake." Jiajia's small eyes stared straight at Yan Hao with anger on her face." Minister Yan, are you teasing me in the middle of the night?”
"Counterfeit?" Yan Hao was shocked and immediately shouted,""Your Majesty, this lowly official doesn't know. I thought it was authentic. A few days ago, there was a rumor that Minister Wang Zhenzhai's house had the River Map. This lowly official suddenly remembered that the Emperor said a few months ago that he wanted to collect it, so I quickly went to Lord Wang's residence to ask for it for the Emperor. However, Lord Wang didn't agree at that time. Even though I said that I was asking for it for the Emperor, he still didn't agree.”
Yan Hao added fuel to the fire, it was true but also fake.
"He really didn't agree?" Jiajia's face was ashen, like a storm.
"He really didn't agree. Even if I brought you out, he wouldn't give up the River Map. He actually looked down on the ruler, he really deserved to die!”Yan Hao said angrily.
Jiajia's face was already purple, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any moment.
"Then what's with the fake?”
"Lord Wang just sent this over. I was too surprised, so I didn't check it and came straight to the palace to report the good news to the emperor.”
bang
"How dare you ignore me!”
Emperor Jia Jia's furious roar came from the royal study. The guards and eunuchs outside looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Not long after, the door of the royal study opened with a loud bang.
Eunuch Huang Jin began to shout at the top of his voice. Soon, he left the Imperial Palace with a large group of guards from the inner chamber and rushed toward Wang Zhezhai's residence.
