After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

Five days ago.

Chaoge secretly brought the Taiwei into the palace.

As soon as she saw the person, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Taiwei! There are hundreds of officials in the court, but you are the only person I rely on the most!"

Taiwei: "..." That's an exaggeration.

The emperor seemed to have transformed into the leader of the group of boasters, and he kept saying kind words one after another. The captain even felt a little carried away by the boasts, as if he had already entered the annals of history and became a famous and loyal minister.

Chaoge continued to praise for a long time, then sighed and got to the point.

"Lieutenant, I remember that you were the top scholar in the first year of Chengde, right?"

"Yes."

The topic changed too quickly. After being confused for a moment, the Taiwei quickly reacted.

The emperor stepped down from the throne and said, "That year there were frequent natural disasters and the people were in dire straits."

The Taiwei had already experienced the calamity years, but he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in his gourd, so he picked and picked what he could say to echo the words, and mixed in some strategies for governing the country.

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was not noticed by the late emperor, so naturally he never found a teacher to teach him the ways of the emperor.

All in all, since the emperor has come to power, the veterans below them can only do their best to assist. Otherwise, will there be another dispute and an emperor who does not know his character will be replaced?

By then, I don’t know how many innocent people will be killed or injured!

Chao Ge suddenly beamed with joy, "Of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, only the Taiwei understands my heart deeply and is always thinking about all living beings in the world. Only the Taiwei can trust me wholeheartedly!"

"So, I have an errand to give to you, Taiwei."

The Taiwei immediately came forward and approached. The monarch and his ministers whispered and bit their ears for a while.

"This..." The Taiwei frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, is the risk too great?"

Chaoge looked calm, "Lieutenant, just do it."

After a moment of silence, the Taiwei bowed and saluted, "Yes!"

As he approached the door, the emperor suddenly said, "Lieutenant, my wish is that all the people in the world have enough food and clothing. You must think so too."

The Taiwei stiffened and did not look back. He seemed to be extremely tired. He supported the doorframe with one hand and stood crookedly.

It sounds easy to say, but it is really difficult to ensure that everyone in the world has enough food and clothing.

However, the emperor's simple and plain words dispelled the last doubt in Taiwei's mind.

An emperor who can always think about the people's clothes and food, even if he is evil, how evil can he be?

For a long time, he turned his back to the emperor, raised his hand in the distance, and then strode away.

Chaoge didn't care about his rudeness and just watched the Taiwei's figure leave until he disappeared.

[Boss, what do you mean by the last words you said? 】

Chao Ge chuckled, [With idealists, naturally we have to talk about ideals. 】

The Taiwei, who had personally experienced the disaster years, entered the officialdom full of passion and thoughts of serving the country and saving the people. However, he was hit in the head by the late emperor, which made him depressed for several years. Later, he hid his true thoughts and worked his way up.

[Civil and military officials, some who follow other princes or the regent, and some of them are trying to take the path of being close ministers of the emperor. Only the Taiwei looks on coldly. 】

Xiao Yao suddenly realized, [I understand, he is afraid that you, the host, will be the same as the late emperor, so he will observe it for a while and then consider what to do? 】

【correct. 】

Chao Ge opened the list of ministers and chose the next person.

[The idealist’s ideal sight is gone. Next, let’s find a relationship where feelings come first. 】

Half an hour later, General Xu stepped into the palace.

Chaoge raised his eyebrows slightly.

"General Xu, your displeased son is finally dead. Are you happy?"

General Xu's expression suddenly changed.

"You don't have to find words to explain or excuse," the emperor was so high that others couldn't see his thoughts clearly.

General Xu's lips moved, but he finally swallowed the words in his mouth and bowed deeply.

When he was young, he was just the son of a farmer. He fought hard on the battlefield and gained official status.

Many years later, he regretted this for a long time. If he had not yearned for fame and wealth, he would not have been attracted by the daughter of a high-ranking official, which would have killed his wife and two lives!

Later, he suppressed his hatred, married the young lady, and let her experience the pain of dystocia.

However, the baby's cry was too disturbing, so he relented and kept the child.

His hatred never goes away, and even if he leaves the child alive, he rarely disciplines him and only sees him a handful of times.

So later, when he heard the news that his son had drowned, he got drunk, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body, and he didn't bother to find out who did it.

"What did the Ninth Prince promise you?"

General Xu touched his forehead to the ground and said, "The high-ranking official will grant you a generous salary. When the matter is accomplished, Princess Jingyue will die as a son of the Xu family."

Hearing this, Chaoge couldn't help laughing.

You haven't grasped the key points, and you're trying to win over people!

"The Ninth Prince thought that if the evidence that Princess Jingyue killed your son was placed in front of him, you and the Twelfth Prince would never be able to reach an alliance."

Chaoge's slender, white fingers lightly clicked on the table.

"It's a pity that you don't want to take revenge, and you never have that intention. Maybe you are grateful to Jingyue for helping you get rid of this burden that you don't know how to deal with."

General Xu closed his eyes to hide his tears, "Yes."

Seeing the dandy dangling in front of his eyes, he would think of his son who died together with his wife.

Hatred surged night after night, but his moral integrity prevented him from killing his own son.

"The Twelfth Prince thinks you are his, and the Ninth Prince also thinks you are his." At this point, Chao Ge looked at General Xu with cold eyes.

"So, General Xu, who are you loyal to?"

The room was so silent for a moment that you could hear a pin drop.

General Xu understood that the emperor didn't mean to ask for an answer, but to make a choice.

One, follow the emperor.

Second, go to death, or die with everyone in the family.

The emperor knew his past very clearly, and even understood the plans of the twelfth prince and the ninth prince.

Compared with the first six princes who have ascended the throne, those two are not even a little bit worse.

General Xu nodded his head sincerely.

"My lord, I am willing to do my best for the Emperor, and I will never regret it even if I die!"

Chao Ge accepted his gift with a smile.

"When you die, I will bury you and your wife together in a glorious way."

The iron-blooded man of General Xu immediately shed tears and choked with sobs: "My lord, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yaoqing asked [Host, is what he said true? 】

Men in ancient times were accustomed to putting themselves first. Not to mention having sex after their wives died, even when their wives were alive, seventeen or eight women could be crammed into the backyard.

Is General Xu really that affectionate?

[It’s not pure deep affection, but also the hatred of being unable to resist in the face of power, the guilt of his first wife, and the lover who is constantly being beautified in his memory as time goes by. 】
