Chapter 475: Your own safety is the most important thing
Originally, Song of Songs asked this question without actually having any other thoughts in mind.
She just asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Master Chen gave her two words that surprised her: "North Gate!"
Ya Ge was stunned on the spot.
After reacting, I realized that I might have touched something very secret.
At the moment, both kindness and power are given.
He said to the secretary: "Mr. Chen, I don't want a third party to know about today's matter. Can you - can you promise me?"
Mr. Chen immediately knelt down and resolutely solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, if anyone asks, I will say that your Majesty is here to build a koi pond a few days ago, so I asked your Majesty to come and ask about the implementation of the funds."
"Well, very good. I believe that you will be a good official. If there is a chance, I will definitely let the emperor promote you to your position. You can go back and wait."
Mr. Chen's eyes lit up, he kowtowed again and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, I will do my best to serve you. Please rest assured, my Majesty, this quarter's taxes will enter the palace from the north gate in a few days.
When the time comes, I must inform the empress in advance!"
"Oh?" Ya Ge hadn't thought about this yet. Now she heard what he said and was delighted: "That's very good. Then Mr. Chen, please be careful. Your own safety is the most important thing!"
"Thank you for your concern, I understand. If nothing happens to your Majesty, I will retire!"
"Okay, you go!"
After Mr. Chen retreated, Ya Ge sat there in a daze for a long time.
Undoubtedly, this time it was a mistake.
Even more unexpectedly, I got an alert official like Mr. Chen.
Looking at his appearance, Mr. Chen can be regarded as a master. It is indeed a waste of talent to let him resign himself to the position of secretary.
She is not afraid that he will say one thing and do another.
Historically, which official in the imperial court did not want to directly win the emperor's appreciation?
Mr. Chen, there is no way he can’t tell which one is more important!

Sorry, I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days. My feet are swollen when I sit for a long time. I'll make up for the missing chapters when I feel better!
