Chapter 1169 Who Is the Emperor and Who Is the Courtier?

With fourth master's cold and unpredictable temperament, even if he was really dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao, he would not show it in front of all the ministers.

Even if you want to punish, you have to find a justifiable reason later.

Otherwise, a general who had just returned from a triumphant return would be punished on the first day of his return, and it would be unjustifiable anyway.

It will only chill the hearts of soldiers and common people.

They would think that the fourth master, the emperor, was worried that Nian Gengyao's meritorious deeds would outshine the lord, so he made meritorious deeds and began to suppress him after he had used him.

In this way, who would dare to work for the emperor.

After the prisoner offering ceremony, fourth master held a celebration banquet for Nian Gengyao and the soldiers.

It's just that after the celebration banquet, he didn't leave Nian Gengyao to talk at night by candlelight like before.

Instead, he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review the memorial.

As for Nian Gengyao, after the celebration banquet, he held his head high and his chest high, in high spirits.

A look of arrogance that no one can look down upon.

Some officials were secretly upset when they saw him like this.

But more, they came forward to flatter.

"General Nian, you have won several battles in succession, you are simply a general who always wins."

"If you want me to say, those are not generals who are always victorious, but generals who are sure to win."

"In the Qing Dynasty, there were such brave and skilled fighters as General Nian, so it would be much more peaceful to come to the border."

"That's right. If they are still ruthless in the future, they have to think about it. Be careful that General Nian will cut off their heads and kick them as balls."

"General Nian not only made great contributions this time, but I heard that the army has also trained many excellent newcomers. Otherwise, why would the emperor reward other people with military merits?"

Hearing such words, the corners of Nian Gengyao's mouth rose in complacency.

His back, which was already held high, became even straighter.

In a pair of piercing eyes, the light of ambition is even brighter.

He walked among the crowd with his hands behind his back, and said arrogantly: "That's natural. I have led troops to fight in these years, and I have indeed cultivated many capable generals around me. As for the emperor rewarding them with military merits, I wrote a letter in advance and sent them a letter on their behalf." The military merits that the emperor asked for, after the emperor accepted, he rewarded them today."

As soon as these words came out, the officials surrounding Nian Gengyao looked at each other in blank dismay.

They were just flattering, and this guy's tail really went up to the sky.

The emperor rewarded the soldiers not because of their merits.

No matter what Nian Gengyao said, he asked the emperor to reward him, and the emperor rewarded him.

It seems that he can control the emperor's thoughts.

They only know that the courtiers listen to the emperor.

I have never heard of the emperor listening to his courtiers.

At this time, it happened that Ba Ye and Jiu Ye passed by.

Ba Ye has always looked like a modest gentleman.

Even if he heard something, he would not laugh at it, nor would he go along with it, only a calm expression on his face.

Just like now, when he heard that Nian Gengyao was speaking freely and arrogantly, he just passed by and pretended not to hear.

But Master Jiu is different.

Not to mention that Master Jiu is an uncontrollable temper.

However, there is still some expression on the face.

At this moment, after hearing Nian Gengyao's words, he curled his lips, and a look of gloating flashed across his sinister eyes.

As if to say: This is all right, let the emperor take away all six of his daughters. Now that there are courtiers like Nian Gengyao, let's see if he is bothered.

Coincidentally, Nian Gengyao saw Master Jiu's eyes.

Since Nian Gengyao won the last battle, he didn't pay attention to anyone.

Many officials had to bow down when they saw him.

Take his triumphant return to Beijing this time, some officials had to kneel in the suburbs to greet him.

It's fine if Master Jiu doesn't flatter him, and he still looks at him like this.

This made him, who was used to being pursued by others, feel extremely uncomfortable.

People like Nian Gengyao are both civil and military.

But after all, he fought more on the battlefield, and his temper was more reckless.

When you get angry, it doesn't matter if you are a prince or what.

He walked up to Lord Jiu in a few strides, and said, "What do you mean by that look in your eyes?"

"What look?" Master Jiu knew it well, but he was pretending to be stupid here.

Moreover, his eyes changed from gloating to contempt.

Looks cheap, very unworthy of beating.

Nian Gengyao was so angry that he grabbed his collar and said, "How dare you despise me, you sinister villain!"

Master Jiu didn't hide, just chuckled, and said: "That's better than an ignorant and barbaric person like you, do you know that you can easily dig your own grave like this?"

Such words seemed to be intended to arouse Nian Gengyao's anger on purpose.

"I want you to take care of it!" Nian Gengyao said, and punched Master Jiu in the face.

Fortunately, the eighth master who was on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately pulled the ninth master away with inertia.

And Nian Gengyao couldn't hold his breath, he wished he could beat Master Jiu up and down, so that he could teach this kid a lesson.

However, Ba Ye quickly stood in front of Jiu Ye.

"Get out of the way!" Nian Gengyao was not impulsive enough to ignore people.

A pair of scarlet eyes stared fiercely at Jiu Ye who was behind Ba Ye.

Ba Ye said softly, "General Nian, this is outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It's inappropriate for you to beat up princes and ministers under the court. Don't you think you don't care about the emperor?"

Nian Gengyao turned his eyes slightly, pointed at Jiuye behind Baye, and said angrily: "You don't want to spout blood here, I didn't mean that, he was the first to pick things up."

"Really?" Eighth Master smiled warmly, and said, "I only saw your first hand."

Nian Gengyao felt wronged, and was slightly stunned for a few seconds.

But soon, he pointed at Ba Ye and Jiu Ye ferociously, and said through gritted teeth: "You two wait for me, see if I don't write a memorial, let the emperor punish you two."

"Come on, don't tell me you're afraid that you won't succeed." Jiu Ye was still provoking, but was dragged away by Ba Ye.

But Nian Gengyao didn't know, he said something wrong again.

He said he asked fourth master to punish eighth master and ninth master.

It still sounds the same, as if he can control the emperor's thoughts and make the emperor listen to him.

It was he who asked the emperor to do things, not the emperor who asked him to do errands.

Courtiers have always listened to the emperor's words.

He is so arrogant, who is the emperor and who is the courtier?

Nian Gengyao looked at Master Jiu's back, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

The officials around him persuaded him a few words before he left the Forbidden City in anger.

The sun shone on his dark cheeks, and he regained his vigor.

As everyone knows, there are some things that have changed subtly and subtly...

Not long after Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing, there were many reports of his impeachment.

A person who is too sharp is already hated.

What's more, he was defiant and offended many officials with integrity.

Moreover, he formed cliques and formed cliques for personal gain.

In the past, many people wanted to impeach him.

However, he has a high status and is favored, and he looks loyal in front of Fourth Master.

Others did not dare to impeach him, fearing that it would be retaliated if it would not work.
