Don’t Be a Scumbag - Chapter 83

◎The Scumbag Emperor (21)◎

A few people were finally welcomed into the palace by Pei Nian. There was a special place for envoys to live in the palace. After Pei Nian sent a few people over, he planned to return to the East Palace. Since Pei Nian was established as the concubine, he became the master. East Palace, moved out of Qule Palace.

Chang An also wanted to practice martial arts and went to the training ground. Zhang Rui had nothing to do, so he followed Pei Nian the whole time.

Pei Nian took Zhang Rao back to the East Palace, discussed the matter of the Di people seeking peace, and set an example for the Di people to pay tribute in the future.

After the decision was made, Zhang Rui said to retire.

Several of them grew up together, and they all knew each other’s temperament. Pei Nian noticed that Zhang Rui was wrong today, and asked before Zhang Rui, “Linqing, do you have any concerns?”

Linqing is Zhang Rai’s name. In private, whether it is Pei Nian or Chang An, they will call Zhang Rai that, and the relationship between several people has always been very good.

After Pei Nian finished speaking, Zhang Rai was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then said the truth: “Does your Highness feel that this minister is too cowardly?”

He was talking about the envoy in the morning. Pei Nian was smart, and he almost immediately understood why Zhang Rui had been sullen in the afternoon.

She looked at Zhang Rai, thought about it, shook her head seriously and said, “No.”

“Really, but, you obviously said to Zigong.”

Zhang Rui could see and hear Pei Nian’s words and deeds clearly. He was a little worried about whether he was useless, so Pei Nian didn’t accept what he said and agreed with Chang An instead.

The young man was very worried and always thought about this matter. Even if he told himself that His Highness had his reasons, Zhang Rui couldn’t help but be jealous of Chang An.

Zhang Rui spurned his jealousy towards his good brother in his heart, but he couldn’t help but keep his jealousy out of his mouth.

“But you are a civil servant, and Zigong is a martial artist. The two have different thinking. It is natural for Zigong to show no mercy to the Di people, and it is also natural for you to show sympathy to the Di people. Linqing, you are in my heart. Not a coward.”

What Pei Nian didn’t say was that even if it wasn’t Zhang Rui, or other civil servants, he would choose to leave a three-point margin in the face of today. Even Zhang Dashuo, so Zhang Rui did nothing wrong, he just did what a civil servant should do.

And she agrees with Chang An not because she prefers Chang An, but because she and the two have different positions. She is the king, and the two are ministers, so he thinks more.

Today’s choice is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons, and there is no preference for anyone.

What Pei Nian hadn’t said was that if Zhang Rui and Chang An had the same attitude towards Di Ren, she might still think about whether Zhang Rui was suitable as a civil minister.

A sharp civil servant may not be what Pei Nian needs, nor what the court needs.

There is a difference between the ruler and the minister, and the ruler often thinks more than his ministers. Pei Ming taught Pei Nian how to be a king, and Pei Nian understood these principles when he was very young.

Pei Nian’s words brought a lot of comfort to Zhang Rui, his face lost the dullness of the morning, and returned to normal.

Zhang Rai has never been a self-sufficient person. After he wanted to understand, he found that Pei Nian was right. The other party is not biased, but just made the decision that he should make. Zhang Rui’s jealousy of Chang An disappeared for a while, but he blushed a little and felt that he was narrow-minded.

After the second prince returned to his residence, he became angry at the envoy. Men of this era wanted to look down on women, and this discrimination was even worse on the grasslands.

In the eyes of the second prince, a woman was only assigned to him as a tool to warm the bed, and was not qualified to look at him, let alone scold him. Which female slave on the grassland is not obedient to him, how come to the Central Plains, there are women who dare to do this to him.

“His Royal Highness, it’s right that the princess is the next emperor to be a little arrogant. Don’t be angry.”

The envoy persuaded with good words, and hoped that his prince would not be stupid.

However, the second prince just couldn’t listen. On the grasslands, except for his father Khan, he always said nothing, how could he easily listen to the envoy’s words.

“It’s just a little girl, how can the wolf on my grassland be afraid of a cat slave?”

Speaking of the wife, the second prince’s eyes flashed a different look. The color of the wife is not bad, and she is one of the best that the second prince has ever seen since he grew up. Moreover, the women in the Central Plains have white and tender skin, which is not at all like the women in the grasslands. It was different. Pei Nian looked better than his father Khan’s favorite slave girl. If he was included in the account, he would definitely make other brothers envious.

It would be nice if she could be held down under him, the second prince thought of a lewd look in his eyes. Fingers rubbed unconsciously, not knowing what to do.

He compares himself to a wolf, but he doesn’t know that in the eyes of others, he is not even a cat with a brain.

The envoy rolled his eyes in his heart, but even if he was disdainful in his heart, he did not dare to express it directly because of his identity.

He said in his mouth: “His Royal Highness said that, but this is someone else’s territory, we should not be too public.”

What’s more, if the people in the Central Plains are easy to bully, that’s all, today’s shallow confrontation, the envoy can see that the other party is not a person to be provoked, how can he dare to be presumptuous.

They are here to ask for peace, and it is better not to have anything to worry about. If it is self-defeating, there is no way to explain it to the old khan.

Moreover, I heard that the Central Plains is serious about face. If they lose face, maybe they will deal with them. This is someone else’s territory, how can they be unscrupulous.

The second prince did not understand why their envoy was so careful, but in order to discord with the envoy Moji, he said perfunctorily, “This hall knows.”

Listening to the second prince’s words, the envoy felt a little relieved, and felt that the second prince should have some measure and would not do anything bad.

When the Di people came to the court, there must be some activities in the court. The hunting ground is now the hunting season. Pei Nian proposed to use hunting to show the prestige of a great country.

Pei Ming readily agreed with Pei Nian’s proposal. He has gradually let go of things over the past few years. As long as the military is not involved, everything in the rest of the court will be decided by Pei Nian.

Pei Nian is getting better and better, and Pei Ming’s sense of accomplishment is getting bigger and bigger. If nothing else, he will let go of the military power in his hand in the past two years, and after Pei Nian takes over completely, he will be able to retire.

The day of the hunt was also determined by Pei Nian, who set it three days later.

The Di people naturally knew this process. They also brought people who could hunt. Everyone went to the hunting grounds one day in advance to set up tents.

The location of the tent was arranged by Pei Nian’s subordinates, and Pei Nian’s tent was arranged near Zhang Rai and Chang An.

In the evening, a few people will discuss tomorrow’s hunting together.

When Pei Ming went out at night in his spare time, he saw Pei Nian’s tent was brightly lit.

Wang Xi leaned over and said, “His Royal Highness has been busy with Di Ren’s coming to court for the past few days. Young Master Zhang and General Chang’s son have also been busy with His Highness.”

After listening to Wang Xi’s words, Pei Ming nodded clearly.

In the past few years, the emperor has paid attention to the affairs of the court, and the affairs of the little princess, which can make His Majesty pay attention.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood today, Wang Xi couldn’t help but say a few more words.

“The servants see that the two young masters are the pillars of the pillars. Presumably in the future, Her Royal Highness, the princess, will definitely pay attention to the two of them.”

“The two of them are indeed useful. If Nian’er can use it well, these two will definitely surprise Nian’er.”

Needless to say, Zhang Rui, as the eldest grandson of Zhang Dashu, has been taught by Zhang Daji himself since he was enlightened. With his intelligence since childhood, his future achievements may not be comparable to his grandfather.

As for Chang An, Chang An has the meaning that the blue is better than the blue. Because of the first mission, Pei Ming is also a bit involved in the art of war. Pei Ming has seen Chang An’s martial arts competition, and there is no problem with martial arts. As for the art of war, Chang An also has unique opinions.

Maybe he will become the next Great General Zhao in the future.

“Your Majesty still has vision.” Wang Xi said flatteringly.

Pei Nian’s tent is discussing hunting, and Di Ren is also discussing hunting.

The second prince didn’t care about hunting at all. He felt that the people he brought who grew up in the grasslands must be better than the people here.

He has been arrogant for a day or two, and the envoy ignored him and just shared his views with the people around him.

Seeing that his words were not taken seriously, the second prince went out with a cold face.

There are many beauties in the Central Plains, and this time I also brought a singer. The second prince didn’t want to face a bunch of old men here, he planned to go see the singer of the line dance.

He went to see these singers this morning, and he really liked a good looking one.

The eyebrows and eyes seem to be somewhat similar to Pei Nian, although not as good-looking as Pei Nian, but there are other unique styles.

Since the second prince saw this singer, he has been obsessed with her almost all day, and his mind is full of this singer. He also wanted to ask the palace for this person while he was waiting to leave.

He never thought about whether the palace would give him someone, the second prince thought it was just a lowly singer.

The second prince went at the wrong time. The singer was not practicing dancing at all. The second prince was stopped by the guards. There were many guards. Reluctantly, he finally left.

When I left, I didn’t forget to put down my harsh words, saying that when I saw your emperor tomorrow, I would definitely make you look good.

The second prince consciously said harsh words to regain his face, but he didn’t know that his threat was nothing in the guard’s ears.

Deputy Colonel Chang had brought them in ahead of time. It would be fine if these Di people stayed honest.

Vice-Chancellor Chang is someone close to the wife. What he said was the meaning of the wife. The wife said so. What are they afraid of? Even if the emperor investigates, they can be said to be doing things according to the rules.

Everyone rested for a day at the hunting ground, and sent people to hunt the next day.

Horse and archery hunting is not limited to civil and military affairs, and Chang An naturally wants to participate, and Zhang Rui is also eager to try it.

Pei Nian hosted the hunt for the first time. He didn’t plan to go, but after seeing his friends all go, he finally planned to go.

Chang An agreed that Pei Nian’s riding and shooting was learned with them. Chang An knew her ability and felt that their wife might be able to achieve a good result.

On the contrary, Zhang Rai felt that the concubine should not be there.

“Linqing, don’t you know about my cavalry shooting? Although it’s not as good as Chang’an, it’s not bad.”

Zhang Rui did not object to what the concubine said, but he still disagreed. Zhang Riao had a straight back, and said neither humble nor arrogant: “Your Highness, you are the crown prince of a country and the only heir, you must not make mistakes.”

What Zhang Rui said was justified and well-founded, and even Pei Nian couldn’t say anything against it. Her father is only her daughter, and if she has an accident, not only will the father take heart, but there will be fluctuations in the court.

Pulling one hair and moving the whole body, that’s all that is said. This matter is not a child’s play, it would be fine if I hadn’t thought of it before. Now that Zhang Rui mentioned it, Pei Nian wouldn’t do such a thing on a whim.

Thinking of this, Pei Nian pursed his lips and said, “Linqing is right.”
