Xiao Linglong is wearing a dragon robe and looks majestic. His Royal Highness Xiao Xuance is yawning on the lower left. Today he also came to court for the first time, of course because of Zhao Kang.
He was also waiting to learn from Zhao Kang how to make gunpowder.
Officials from the Ministry of Works continued to report on the latest situation of floods in Jiangzhou. After all major and minor matters were decided, Xiao Linglong looked at the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies.
"Mr. Ma, has Yuanjiang County Magistrate Zhao Kangke arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Ma quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Chief of Ceremonies has sent someone to inform Mr. Zhao this morning."
Xiao Linglong nodded: "Then let's summon him."
"Xuanyuanjiang County Magistrate Zhao Kang!"
The call was passed out one after another, and everyone couldn't help but look curiously outside the hall. This guy finally arrived.
I heard that the eunuch who went to deliver the edict some time ago came back and said that the people under this guy's rule are in dire straits, and the people are so poor that they are about to eat people! I don't know what your majesty will do.
It is undoubtedly a merit to quell the floods in Jiangzhou, but it is also a crime to keep Yuanjiang County impoverished for many years.
Now everyone is waiting to watch the show.
Outside the palace, Zhao Kang was wearing clothes and trotting after the eunuch.
The eunuch couldn't help but urge as he ran: "Hurry up, Mr. Zhao! The people in front have already begun summoning people, and the official uniforms must be sorted out quickly!"
"I know, I know, why bother?"
Zhao Kang put on his belt and shouted unhappily, Damn it, Wang San, if you hadn't asked me to drink some wine, I wouldn't have overslept!
Under the anxious urging of the eunuch, Zhao Kang finally got in front of the main hall, straightened his appearance, and quickly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his head lowered.
Even without raising his head, he could feel countless pairs of eyes looking at him, which was a really unpleasant feeling.
Thinking about what Zhou Baichuan had written in his mind about the face-to-face meeting.
Zhao Kang didn't even raise his head, he just watched himself walking step by step on his toes. After walking eighteen steps, he knelt down and screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Weak minister, Zhao Kang, the magistrate of Yuanjiang County, Jiangling Prefecture, comes to see my emperor. Long live my emperor!"
"Get up." Xiao Linglong raised her lips.
yeah?
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Zhao Kang subconsciously raised his head, but after just one glance, he immediately became angry: "Your mother's surname is Xiao, so you are here!"
The guy above is not the enemy I have been looking for these days! The bastard actually met him here, right? Wait, isn't this guy wearing a dragon robe?
Why is this guy next to her, her younger brother, also wearing a yellow dragon robe?
Wait, your surname is Xiao? Two siblings?
Your Majesty the Empress!
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Kang's forehead!
Xiao Xuance looked at Zhao Kang with admiration. He was so brave. He dared to call himself eldest sister like that in front of so many people.
"What did Zhao Aiqing say?" Xiao Linglong raised her eyebrows coldly, "Good boy, you are really bold, aren't you?"
Zhao Kang trembled and quickly lowered his head: "No! I didn't say anything. When the humble minister saw the holy face, he was frightened by the majesty of the emperor for a moment, and his mind and heart were shaken, so he couldn't hesitate to speak!"
Damn it, it’s over now, how could this guy be Her Majesty the Empress!
Aren’t you done playing this yet?
When he thought of what he had done in Yuanjiang County, where he had tricked him into closing his eyes and then taken advantage of it, Zhao Kang already felt that his head was no longer around his neck.
God wants to kill me!
Before the ministers around him could react, they heard Zhao Kang's flattering words and were a little shocked.
Good fellow, still intimidated by the emperor's majesty, this country boy can use words to pat a horse and not lose to us at all!
Xiao Linglong, however, did not accept his words. She had known Zhao Kang for a long time, and she also knew that the curse words that Zhao Kang usually talked about were all curse words.
Hehe sneered twice: "Really? I didn't expect Aiqing to be so timid."
Zhao Kang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Ai Qing is joking, you were the first to quell the flood, so what's your crime?" Xiao Linglong almost gritted her teeth when she said the last four words.
The chill was even felt by many officials in the audience. It seemed that this guy was finished. Even if he succeeded in controlling floods, he would probably lose his official title.
"Manager Ma."
Looking at Zhao Kang who had sweat on his forehead, Xiao Linglong shouted.
"My slave is here." The chief eunuch didn't know what was going on, so why did Her Majesty the Empress suddenly feel bad?
"Take Mr. Zhao down and wait. I will have a good chat with Mr. Zhao later." Xiao Linglong laughed.
That smile was no different from crocodile tears in Zhao Kang's eyes.
My life is at an end.
As the chief eunuch retreated from the main hall, Zhao Kang had already begun to think about how to get a whole body for himself.
Manager Ma was obviously a kind-hearted master. Looking at Zhao Kang's helpless appearance, he hurriedly consoled him: "Master Zhao, don't worry too much. The flood in Jiangzhou has been controlled by you. Even though His Majesty will blame Yuanjiang County for the poverty, you can still
Your Excellency has merit after all, and His Majesty has always been kind."
Zhao Kang chuckled, sighed and said nothing.
This is no longer a matter of blame or blame, but he took advantage of her! Why don't you shave yourself alive later?
As he walked and thought about it, Zhao Kang gradually became indifferent.
Damn it, I haven't enjoyed it enough yet, but if you want to kill me, kill me. I'm afraid that you are a bitch, maybe you can travel through time again and become the emperor's son or something!
Thinking like this, Mr. Zhao suddenly felt less afraid.
Because there is no point in being afraid.
Finally, the eunuch in charge took him to the imperial garden to wait.
Here, Xiao Linglong finally went to court. Lu Yuan followed her carefully. After walking for a while, Xiao Linglong said: "Lu Yuan, go get my Emperor's Sword."
Green Yuan was a little confused but still did as he was told.
After walking a few steps, they met the palace maids and eunuchs. Xiao Linglong asked them to leave, especially since no one was allowed to approach the Imperial Garden. When they were finally about to enter the Imperial Garden.
Lu Yuan came with a sword and took the sword. Xiao Linglong said: "Lu Yuan, please step back too."
"Slave, please obey."
Although he didn't know what His Majesty wanted the sword for, Green Yuan could guess that it would definitely not be a good thing and quickly stepped aside.
Xiao Linglong's face darkened and she walked into the garden with her sword in hand. Zhao Kang looked over at a glance, his eyes fell on the sword in Her Majesty's hand and the corner of his mouth twitched.
This is like cutting off your own dog’s head with your own hands!
When she saw Zhao Kang's face, Xiao Linglong was immediately furious. This bastard actually dared to scold me in front of so many people. Today is the day to settle old and new grudges!
Xiao Linglong rushed over with murderous intent. Before she could raise her sword and draw it away, Zhao Kang knelt down and hugged Her Majesty the Empress' thigh with a plop: "Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
