Chapter 52 - 2.17

"This is obstructing government affairs, right? How should we punish him?"

Yin You saw Jiang Jamian tilting his head and asking him deliberately, he said with a smile on his lips, "Thirty hits with the stick."

"Oh." Jiang Jamian waved his hand and said, "Fang Qiao, go on."

If his prediction was correct, Fang Qiao was probably talking about the male and female protagonists.

It was inconvenient for him, Jiang Jamian, to name such a person directly without any reason. If he could just borrow Fang Qiao's words now and make Yin You realize the momentum of Qi Zhao, he could change many things in the future.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This old bone of mine, how can I withstand thirty sticks of punishment? Your Highness, please spare my life!"

Jiang Jamian drilled his other ear again, "What kind of crime should be punished for roaring in the court?"

Yin You's smile became more and more intense. He actually felt that when the words came out of Jiang Jamian's mouth, it seemed to be a bit of a flirtation. "It's thirty sticks, and the fine is three months salary."

Jiang Jamian glanced at him appreciatively, "The regent is indeed an outstanding person who has worked hard for me for three years. His memory is really good!"

He remembers it so clearly, and it doesn't look like he memorized it on purpose. He must have dealt with similar things many times.

Excellent migrant worker Yin You: "..." The fool is me.

Although some of Jiang Jamian's words seemed vague to him, looking at Jiang Jamian's expression, he understood the general meaning.

He was really stupid before!

Only in the past did he feel that having the power was a great feeling of superiority, and he was vaguely satisfied with it.

"Your Majesty! Prince Regent!"

"Hurry up and drag him out!" Yin You couldn't help but darken his face when he saw Jiang Jamian covering his ears.

"Fang Qiao, go on."

The court finally became quiet again, and Jiang Jamian looked at Fang Qiao.

"Yes." Fang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief silently. He was scared to death. At first, he thought it was him whom the emperor said he wanted to punish with the stick.

"It's like this. This minister also knows it is about a mere businessman. He shouldn't bring it to the court to disturb the emperor's hearing. However, the momentum of this business is too strong. Over time, it may affect the foundation of the country. We can't turn a blind eye."

Of course, Jiang Jamian believed Fang Qiao's words, and his heart was filled with admiration for him.

If Jiang Jamian understands this because he is a prophet with modern thoughts and plots, then Fang Qiao, as a native of ancient times who has accepted the hierarchical concept of scholars, farmers, and merchants since childhood, actually has such a cognition, which is undoubtedly the world's greatest analytic.

"Then do you know the identity of the person behind this business?"

When he said this, Jiang Jamian glanced at Yin You intentionally or unintentionally.

If Yin You knew that it was the male and female protagonist, he would definitely not sit idly by.

In the original ending of the plot, the male and female protagonists had a narrow victory against Yin You, but now if he wanted to change the ending, Jiang Jamian felt that he didn't have to put in much effort at all.

As long as Yin You is aware of the rise of the male and female protagonists in advance, and he is not stupid, he will take action without delay.

The ending was already a close win, but now if there is a slight change, for example, if Yin You realizes the threat of the male and female protagonist in advance, and casually starts to do something, the couple of protagonists may never be able to turn around again.

"The minister has inquired about it." Fang Qiao saw that Jiang Jamian was taking this matter seriously, and his voice became high-spirited, and he was encouraged, "It is said that they are a young couple. Some people say that the two have not yet been married. It's just that they love each other. The man's name is Mu Xiao, and the woman's surname is Feng."

Jiang Jamian squinted his eyes, and it turned out to be the male and female protagonists.

The male protagonist Qi Zhao cleverly changed his name.

"Fang Qiao." Jiang Jamian straightened his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You are responsible for this matter. Since that business is so powerful and the items it sells are so rare, I have decided to designate it as the Imperial's Merchant of the Jiang dynasty! For this matter, Fang Qiao will go there in person with an envoy, with the decree to convey the title. After the event is completed, Mu Xiao and the Feng family will be brought to the capital to receive the title to express gratitude. There must be no mistake."

Yin You finally realized that Jiang Jamian seemed to be paying too much attention to this matter, "Imperial merchant? "

Before the Jiang dynasty, there had never been any mention of imperial merchants.

Jiang Jamian curled his lips and said, "Since such a business is so popular, it will naturally be nationalized."

Yin You raised his eyebrows and said, "Tsk, is this the little emperor's plan to steal overtly and covertly?"

It seems that after he is not a fool, his heart is also dark and he becomes a thief.

"Ahem!" Jiang Jamian coughed lightly and looked at Fang Qiao again, "I will recommend you as a third-grade minister. From now on, you will be responsible for the imperial merchants and the economy. All affairs of the imperial merchants must be reported in time." 

To put it bluntly, it means directly that he keeps an eye on all the movements of the male and female protagonists, and from time to time points out all the benefits of the male and female protagonists doing business to the court.

In this way, no matter how successful the male and female protagonists are, it is only in the name of the imperial merchants and the court, and it is almost difficult to win over people's hearts.

"Third-grade minister?" Fang Qiao was stunned.

"Is there such a position?" Yin You asked directly.

Jiang Jamian tilted his head and leaned lazily on the dragon chair, "Isn't it available now?"

Yin You: "..."

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness. I will live up to the emperor's expectations!"

Fang Qiao's gratitude towards Jiang Jamian has reached its peak, and he feels quite moved by meeting him.

When everyone in the court felt that he should not say anything about the business in the court, the emperor listened carefully and took it seriously. Now he has been given a title and entrusted with important tasks.

This is the emperor's respect and trust in him!

Yin You saw Fang Qiao's moved expression with red eyes, and shook his sleeves a little irritably, "Is there anything else? If nothing else, let's leave!"

Jiang Jamian waved his hand, "Retreat from the court."

After the court, Jiang Jamian, who was upright and majestic for the first time, strode back.

 

"Jamian!"

Behind him, Yin You suddenly called him.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Jamian turned around and shook the dragon robe on his body, "Don't say that I won't wait for you. You have to understand that I am the Emperor and must go in front."

Looking at his arrogant appearance, Yin You followed up with some fun, "No. I just want to ask, why do you care so much about that merchant?"

Jiang Jamian raised his hand and patted his chest with a look of pity, "I'm doing it all for you."

Not only did he restrain the male and female protagonist's power and put the business name on the court, but he also had to let the male and female protagonists come to the capital to express gratitude. It was the female protagonist who helped Qi Zhao change his appearance and name, and hid in Lingnan. Now they were forcefully pulled back under Yin You's eyes.

It's all like this. If Yin You can no longer control the male and female protagonists, he can only blame his incompetence.

"For me?" Yin You was a little surprised.

What does a business in Lingnan have to do with him?

And he had never heard of Mu Xiao.

Jiang Jamian smiled mysteriously and simply said, "Can't you find out if you check it yourself?"

The emperor was no longer a fool and showed off his power on the day he came to court. The civil and military officials in the court were frightened, feeling that this great Jiang dynasty in the court may be changing.

The emperor intends to rule, and the regent holds great power. There will be a bloody storm between these two people.

And these courtiers might accidentally stand in the wrong place and lose their heads.

Suddenly, all the courtiers became trembling and cautious.

But I never expected that three days later, there would be another early morning meeting.

Some things still had to be reported. A certain courtier had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak without daring to use any title when reporting.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jamian leaned directly on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and rested his mind, "If you have anything to do, go to the regent. I don't have time. I'm very sleepy."

Yin You: "..." He was really stupid before. Yes, really!

"Yeah."

When Yin You saw Jiang Jamian who was sleepy, he lost his patience. He stood up, walked to the dragon chair, picked him up, and without looking back, he said, "If you have anything to do, send a memorial to the imperial study room." He raised his legs and left.

The eunuch was about to shout out the habitual phrase of retreat, but remembered the last time he was slapped, and quickly swallowed it back.

Yin You carried the person all the way back to the palace. When he put the person on the bed, he saw the neat dragon robe Jiang Jamian was wearing. He couldn't help but lay on top of him, "Jamian, you look so charming in the dragon robe."

Jiang Jamian sneered, "You are just greedy for my body."

Yin You smiled lowly and admitted shamelessly, "Yes, I want to fuck you, I want to tear your dragon robe to pieces, watch you cry, and listen to you scream."

Jiang Jamian: "..."

Jiang Jamian raised his feet aiming at his chest, "You dog man, take off my boots first."

Yin You's eyes darkened, knowing that he was tacitly agreeing to something, so he quickly stretched out his hand to pull off his boots. He held Jiang Jamian tightly and kissed his lips fiercely.

"Your Majesty the Regent!"

When he saw the signal from the secret guard, Yin You had just finished his work and fell asleep with Jiang Jamian in his arms. Naturally, he was a little unhappy when the warmth was interrupted afterwards.

When he came out, his face was obviously ugly.

As soon as the secret guard looked at his face, he knew that he had come at the wrong time. He immediately cried out in his heart and could only bite the bullet and report, "Your Highness, we have found the Li family!" 

Yin You frowned, "Li family? Which Li family? "

The secret guard knew that he might have forgotten, and quickly reminded him, "It's the servant who was missing from the list after the Prime Minister was dealt with." 

When Yin You heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, "This kind of thing needs to be reported to me!? If a servant is found, can't you deal with it on your own?" 

"Yes." The secret guard said, "When a subordinate found her and planned to interrogate her, that Li woman was greedy for life and afraid of death, so she directly said that she had met Qi Zhao after the incident in the Prime Minister's Mansion! Therefore, her subordinates realized that this matter was of great importance and did not dare not to report it quickly."
