The King of Annan could not help but feel fear.
He had to please His Majesty.
Otherwise, Annan would be destroyed in an instant!
At this moment.
The eunuch came.
The King of Annan immediately went forward. He wanted to stuff gold, jade, and so on into the eunuch's hands.
"We can't accept this."
the eunuch said.
What a joke. After he took it, it would be immediately investigated by the West Bureau.
His head was about to fall to the ground!
When the King of Annan saw that the eunuch did not accept bribes, his heart turned cold.
In the past, when the orthodox emperor was still in power, eunuchs would accept anything.
If he didn't accept it now, could it be…
In the mind of the King of Annan, he instantly imagined countless of his own fates.
Five Horses Dismember!
Skinning grass!
The King of Annan's face immediately turned deathly pale!
"Announce the imperial edict…"
"Reward the King of Annan with a True Dragon Jade Pendant!”
The King of Annan was stunned.
He thought he had misheard.
He wasn't skinned alive?
He took the jade pendant.
There was a lifelike cloud dragon engraved on the jade pendant.
This was a jade pendant that Zhu Qiyu casually took out to admire. It was soaked with a bit of the emperor's aura.
When the King of Annan took a look, he felt a supreme majesty assaulting his face!
"I accept the imperial edict. Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!”
With a thud, the King of Annan knelt down.
He was shocked by the might of the Son of Heaven, and his entire body trembled!
Although he was trembling, his heart was filled with ecstasy.
This jade pendant, with such an imposing manner, it must be the Ming Emperor's personal possession!
This jade pendant was proof of his loyalty!
What was the most important thing between a Subordinate Country and a Mother Country?
Silver?
Army?
It was all an illusion!
The most important thing was the Emperor's trust!
The emperor trusts you. Even if you face the Guardian's Residence or the vassal king, you can still retaliate righteously.
If the emperor didn't trust you, it was only natural for a small official, a small hundred or thousand, to charge into the palace and kill you!
There were many such examples when he was a big man!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The King of Annan held the jade pendant and was extremely ecstatic. He hurriedly knelt in the direction of the Forbidden City.
In his heart, he was very satisfied with the reward he had received.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, one thousand pieces of jade…
It was worth it to exchange for the emperor's jade pendant.
"Then I won't stay here any longer.”
The eunuch turned around and left.
"Hmph hmph, I should be the one who gets the most from the tribute this time. The other vassal countries might be in trouble…"
The King of An Nan guessed that some of the other vassal countries might have been bewitched and betrayed Ming.
At that time, the might of the Great Ming Dynasty would arrive, and perhaps Annan would be able to get a share of the pie.
He was extremely excited!
……
In the bedroom.
Zhu Qiyu was flipping through the memorial.
The 400,000 troops led by Yu Qian had already charged towards the grasslands!
The grassland was empty now. The 500,000 strong army had been wiped out, and only a portion of the remaining soldiers had escaped.
At this moment, he would definitely suffer a crushing defeat!
Many tribes had to move away from the border of Great Ming and escape to the depths of the grassland.
At that time, Da Ming would obtain the Thousand Miles Ranch!
Warhorses, cows and sheep…
All of them were rich and could be used to train an incomparably powerful cavalry.
Zhu Qiyu was watching.
The eunuch came to report and whispered a few words.
"Qingya is here again?"
Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial.
This cousin of his did not rely on favoritism to often run to the Imperial Palace.
However, the empress dowager liked her very much.
He often summoned her to the palace.
"Ask her to come see me."
Zhu Qiyu ordered.
Soon, Qing Ya arrived.
"Cousin, what are you looking at?"
Qing Ya saw the memorial in Zhu Qiyu's hand.
"This is going to test you."
Zhu Qiyu smiled.
"What do you think I'm looking at?"
"I heard that you just implemented a new tax system and the aristocratic families in the world are in turmoil, but this matter shouldn't have reached the point where you need to deal with it. Eunuch Cao should be able to handle it.”
Qing Ya guessed.
"It should be Yu Shao Bao's memorial, information regarding the expedition to the grasslands!”
"Not bad, Qingya, your ability to see through people's hearts is indeed amazing.”
Zhu Qiyu praised.
He could see through people's hearts and tell if they were lying.
This was similar to the legendary Truth Listener's ability.
It was amazing.
But he also kept a respectful distance.
Especially the Emperor.
The mind of an emperor was as deep as the sea.
Who could endure being seen through by a woman?
But Zhu Qiyu was very calm.
He tapped his fingers on the jade table, looking extremely dignified.
He was the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and he could suppress the six poles and eight directions. So what if Qing Ya could see through the truth and lies?
All the heroes in the world could be used by him!
This was what an emperor should be like!
"Qingya, what do you think of the officials in the court?”
"How is Wang Zhi?"
"How is Yu Qian?"
……
Zhu Qiyu asked one by one.
Qing Ya could see through the truth and almost no one could escape her eyes.
At this moment, he answered them one by one.
In Zhu Qiyu's heart, he had some control over the Imperial Court.
"Many people are still selfish and need to be taught a lesson.”
"If you still don't repent, you can only kill me.”
Zhu Qiyu pondered.
Qing Ya sighed softly.
"What's wrong, Qingya?”
Zhu Qiyu came back to his senses.
"If there is, you can tell me. There shouldn't be anything in the world that I can't solve.”
He said this very calmly.
There was no need to say anything more.
"I'm thinking that Eunuch Cao and Duke Yuchang are both trusted by cousin and can patrol the world.”
"I also want this kind of treatment."
"Waiting to get married in the boudoir is really boring. In the past, I could still go to Cousin's residence to play. Now that Cousin is busy every day, I don't want to disturb him.”
Her elegant voice was filled with desire.
She would not lie.
"Hmm? So you want to become an official in the court."
Zhu Qiyu smiled.
This cousin of his had great ambitions and was unwilling to be a woman and hide in the pavilion.
"Now you are not hiding in your boudoir. Doesn't the Empress Dowager often call you into the palace and want you to live in the palace?”
Hearing this.
Her elegant and fair face was flushed red.
" Cousin, don't make fun of me…"
Qing Ya's appearance was really moving.
