Xiao Yaoguang was dressed in white, elegant and noble, like the clouds on the top of a mountain.

His innate aloofness and detachment from worldly matters make him more like a banished immortal in the clouds of the ninth heaven.

Xiao Yaoguang walked to the center of the hall and saluted the monarch above him with full courtesy and composure.

"Your Majesty, I am Xiao Yaoguang."

Su Miao looked down with an unclear expression. Xiao Yaoguang kept his back straight even when he was kneeling.

After not seeing each other for two years, Xiao Yaoguang seemed to have not changed. He was still as dignified and elegant, with a cold and handsome appearance with picturesque features, which exactly fits the image of a scholar-official in the minds of literati.

It seemed as if he had not suffered any hardship in the two years in Lingnan, as if he had just been riding a horse and traveling around, and he did not, as Su Miao had imagined, submit to him in order to return to Beijing.

Xiao Yaoguang was still as aloof and upright as before, and seemed to have lost some weight, but his dignified and noble temperament was not diminished in the slightest.

Still so annoying.

The Nine Thousand Year Old Man didn't open his mouth, so the emperor naturally didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yaoguang did not move at all, still kneeling in the most polite posture, and his every move seemed to be exactly as measured by a ruler.

As the court officials looked at each other in bewilderment, Su Miao's slender fingers moved slightly under his dragon robe.

The emperor, who had been staring at him, cleared his throat, his handsome face full of confusion, which made the ministers feel despair.

"Ahem, stand up."

Wanqi Ke recited the reward for Xiao Yaoguang that Su Miao had written long ago. What made the royalists in the court, led by the Xiao family, unable to hide their excitement was that Xiao Yaoguang finally became the legitimate Zuo Pushe and touched the position of the emperor's trusted minister.

Although Xiao Yaoguang and Pei Changjun were both important ministers entrusted by Emperor Wende, only Pei Changjun was still supporting the royalists in the capital.

Now that the Prince Regent has returned from visiting the troops with even greater military achievements, he has even greater ambitions. The Nine Thousand Year Old Man controls the Jinyiwei and the Twenty-Four Departments, and has enormous power. Even the attitudes of some veteran officials have become ambiguous.

The court was in turmoil, and Xiao Yaoguang's return with great achievements made the situation even more tense.

There are five important ministers entrusted with the care of the young emperor, and the only one who holds the military power is General Lu Jiuzhou.

Duke Cao, an old minister who had fought on the battlefield with Emperor Wende, was like a puppet, saying nothing. Not only him, but other old ministers with the same background as him also did not clearly stand on the side.

It was only because Emperor Wende was suspicious and violent in his later years that he killed batches of old ministers. Later, he reused the eunuch party and the Jinyiwei to raise a bloody haze in the court.

Even though Emperor Wende had passed away two years ago, the eunuch party has been popping up more and more frequently, and these eunuchs are not the ones who have a powerful emperor to suppress them.

Su Miao, who was in charge of the Jinyiwei, which was in possession of military and political intelligence as well as reconnaissance intelligence, fabricated charges to frame loyal officials, causing all the ministers to panic. The ministers who had experienced the chaos of Emperor Wende's coup could only hide their heads and act like quails.

But as important officials return to Beijing one after another, there may be a new situation in the court.

Their eyes penetrated the distance and looked vaguely at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

The dynasty respected black and red as the two colors. The emperor wore black court robes, and was handsome and heroic. However, he showed affection for a eunuch and obeyed the eunuch's words.

This is a sign of the country's demise...

Even if there were no traitors in Dazhao, the bordering tribal states would surely become restless when they discovered that the emperor of Dazhao was mentally retarded.

Su Miao took in the expressions of the people below the stage. He raised his pointed chin slightly, and the eunuch who was reading the imperial edict beside him immediately said in a loud voice:

"Left Prime Minister Xiao Yaoguang received the order."

Xiao Yaoguang, who had just stood in the first position, moved his clothes slightly, and knelt in the middle to listen to the servant read out the order.

A hidden smile appeared at the corner of Su Miao's lips. He did it on purpose.

They could have just finished reading the imperial edict together, but he insisted on watching Xiao Yaoguang bow his head and kneel once again.

The civil officials glanced at the left prime minister. Although the eunuch was very handsome, this must be a deliberate attempt to torture the left prime minister.

Look, even the right prime minister is very angry! The old fox who has always been smiling and making plans is no longer smiling! Eunuch, you have done so many evil things!

As they listened, their expressions changed. It turned out that the decree was to appoint the Left Prime Minister as the Grand Tutor, to teach the Emperor after court every day.

Ministers:! ! !

Although I don't know what the eunuch's conspiracy is, if the Left Prime Minister can get in touch with the emperor and teach him how to be a monarch, no matter how mentally retarded His Majesty is, he will be impressed by the Left Prime Minister's personal charm and will definitely not pamper the eunuch so recklessly!

Even if he couldn't straighten the emperor out, he could at least be wary of Su Miao. The eunuch's power depended entirely on the emperor's favor.

If that day ever comes, I'm sure we won't be able to bring him down.

The reactions of the people below the stairs were even more interesting. Su Miao ignored the burning and complicated look from the Right Prime Minister. Don't ask why only the Left Prime Minister was allowed to be the emperor's teacher. The reason he asked was because he was holding a grudge.

Because of their physical defects, eunuchs have no brains and are even smaller.

And Su Miao is the best in terms of small-mindedness.

Just because a certain concubine had treated him poorly in the past because she relied on the fact that she was the daughter of a prince, he turned that concubine into a human pig after he came to power. This was so horrifying and unprecedented that it shocked all the ministers.

Of course, Su Miao did not suddenly feel that he should return power to the emperor.

He just suddenly thought,

It would be really interesting if a scholar like Xiao Yaoguang, whose mind was filled with only loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, was tortured by the emperor.

He came from a poor family, and after gaining power he abused his power more and more unscrupulously, but he was narrow-minded and did not know what it meant to allow Xiao Yaoguang to have daily contact with the emperor.

The court official lowered his head and remained silent. Su Miao felt that he must be cursing him in his heart again.

He took the time to complain to the system: "I feel like they all want to eat me. They hate me so much."

The cannon fodder system said: [Isn’t that as it should be, you big bad guy. ]

The followers of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man did not dare to say anything. Although they were labeled as followers of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, the Nine Thousand Year Old Man was autocratic and dictatorial, and Su Miao had a really bad temper, with a changeable and sinister character.

He couldn't eat and was sweating all over. Working under the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, he could lose 20 kilograms in a month.

Su Miao said: Working ten hours a day at such a high intensity, it's inevitable that people will go crazy.

What's wrong with me being crazy? I think my mental state is very good!

La la la la la!

What, you dare to scold me?! I'll kill you!

He himself had to review a lot of memorials every day, and his health was not good, so he had become very abnormal. Therefore, he could not stand his subordinates having nothing to do.

Stacking! Roll them all up for me!

His men: …

Stacking, regardless of whether they were with him or not, could be killed. They had to do twice as much work as other officials every day, but their salary was also much higher.

But Jiu Qiansui has such a bad temper and the work is getting more and more, so why not just rebel?

(Turning over the table) (Drawing the sword)

Don't do it, daddy!

That night, he was confiscated, exiled and beheaded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the egg yolks were shaken apart.

Others: …

They were brought to Su Miao one by one and pinned down to pledge their allegiance. Su Miao smiled coldly.

"See? Those are what will happen to you."

Men: !!!

(Put the table in place) (Put away the knife) (Be good)

No, you should have told me earlier if you looked like this!

Haha, we are the most loyal lackeys under the Nine Thousand Year Old Man!
