"Yes, yes, that's what you said. I'm also worried about causing trouble for my brother's family. You must check it carefully." He Di responded quickly, remembering that the food the emperor eats must be tested for poison.
If this were...
just in case···
If something went wrong at that stage and the emperor got poisoned from the food they sent, wouldn't his entire family be beheaded?
He Di: “!!!”
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He regretted that he should not have sent his own food.
She said with a tearful expression, "I am not considerate enough. The emperor shouldn't eat anything casually, right? Why don't we take these dishes back with us? We won't send them away anymore."
The eldest eunuch complained in his heart, "What do you mean you can't eat anything you want? The emperor is eating delicious food at your brother's house. He eats everything and we can't stop him."
"In just a few days, he gained several kilograms and almost couldn't wear the dragon robe. He didn't even bother to say anything." He complained silently with a decent smile on his face.
"It's all right, all right. The guards have checked it and the emperor will definitely not be poisoned. You two can follow me in. I'll have someone carry this thing. Don't hurt yourself." He led the way politely.
The He family couple: “…”
Did they hear correctly just now that the eunuch said he would not poison the emperor?
This person is more or less abnormal. He can say such disrespectful words. It's scary.
The news that the emperor had come to pay homage in person at Daejeon Mountain spread like thunder throughout the area within a hundred miles.
After receiving the news, officials from various towns rushed to Oda Village, mentally reviewing whether they had done anything wrong or exploited the people since taking office.
If not, these people would naturally not feel guilty. They would just be wearing official uniforms and hats and waiting to meet the emperor to report on their work. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they seize it, they can be promoted and reach the peak of their lives.
The backs of those officials who had done shady things in private were now soaked with cold sweat. They always felt a chill on their necks and felt that they would die soon.
He was in a very irritable mood and was thinking about how to make excuses when he met the emperor.
Heading towards Oda Village, a few horse-drawn carriages would gallop from time to time, bringing up clouds of dust, which showed how anxious the people in the carriages were.
There were also people who received the news and learned that the emperor was coming. Many villages were extremely excited.
"Village chief, this is the emperor, someone many people will never see in their lifetime. Please take everyone with you."
"Yes, yes. No one wants to miss this opportunity. It only comes once in a lifetime. Let's go and pay homage to the sacred mountain."
"Village head, everyone in other villages has gone, and we also want to see the emperor, even if it's just to see him from a distance."
"..."
Similar scenes were played out in villages hundreds of miles away. Some clear-headed village heads asked people to rent vehicles as soon as they received the news, no matter if they were horse-drawn, ox-drawn, or mule-drawn, as long as they could carry people.
The village that acted faster rented the car as soon as possible and paid the money voluntarily without taking any advantage.
The elderly who were unable to move in bed, the middle-aged people with poor legs and feet, and even the disabled were all brought along. These people, along with the elderly, women, and children, all sat in the car, while the middle-aged and young people all walked on their own two legs.
I met familiar people on the way, and we gathered together to chat and laugh. I walked faster and faster, and it felt more and more relaxed. I felt that the distance of dozens or hundreds of miles was not very long.
There are also some villages that are very poor and cannot afford to rent ox carts, so parents with mobility problems push the carts, and children walk on foot. It is hard work for both adults and children.
When faced with this situation, some kind-hearted people would squeeze for space on the ox cart, moving the elderly onto the cart, or letting the children squeeze in.
"Brother, don't worry about losing your child. Our car will go with you, so you can have company on the road."
People who are taken care of are always grateful, and they quickly said, "Thank you, brothers and sisters-in-law. I am really grateful."
"It's okay, it's okay. We all happened to be on the way, and I saw that you were a kind-hearted person, so I lent a hand."
The middle-aged man, who was tired and sweaty, smiled innocently and said carelessly: "I heard that the emperor is in Xiaotian Village. It's a good opportunity to see the emperor. Of course, I have to bring my parents along."
"It doesn't matter if it's a bit hard and tiring. Farmers have plenty of energy."
Everyone who heard this laughed heartily, and they all echoed, "Brother, what you said makes sense. We have to use our strength, or we will feel uncomfortable all over after a while."
From dawn to dusk, torches were gradually lit along the entire road. From a distance, it looked like an endless dragon, which was very spectacular.
Whenever they passed through a town, they would be allowed to pass immediately and the matter would be reported to Oda Village.
The officers and soldiers looked at them with envy. If they were not on duty, they would also like to meet the emperor.
At this moment, the way people always envied officials began to change.
On this day, Xiaotian Village in Changle Town became famous throughout the entire Nanxu Kingdom, and its fate changed dramatically at this moment.
After the officials arrived at Xiaotian Village, they knelt at the door of the He family. The emperor did not summon them to see him immediately.
Instead, she enjoyed the service of the eunuch and the various delicious foods prepared by Mrs. He with her superb cooking skills.
Leisurely he looked at the information gathered by the secret guards, which county magistrate was corrupt, which town had the most unjust cases, and what stupid things they had done while in office.
It was clearly written there that he had used several women outside and had several illegitimate children.
The more the emperor looked at him, the stronger his aura became. He said in a cold tone, "I work diligently every day, sleep no later than a dog and get up earlier than a chicken, but I don't have the comfortable life of these officials."
"Look... a small county magistrate actually has hundreds of thousands of silver coins, which is almost one-third of the national treasury."
"And this. You can tell from the name that this town is very small, but it actually has over 100,000 taels. Tsk tsk~~~"
"It's so unfair for me as the emperor to be poorer than a small county magistrate. It's really unfair." He was really angry when he spoke, but it didn't affect Xia Yining's good appetite at all.
He looked down at the heartless little girl, and was so angry that she laughed.
Then he asked, "What do you think, Ning'er? How should I deal with these people?"
The eldest eunuch: “!!”
Awesome! The status of the tenth young lady of the Xia family is getting higher and higher. I have to be more servile in the future and hold on to her thighs tightly.
The soft and sticky little milk dumpling swallowed a mouthful of the dumpling and said in a soft and cold voice: "Kill~!"
Just one simple word, but it contains endless murderous intent.
"Those who exploit the people will be killed!"
"Kill those who have committed a wrongful conviction!"
"Kill those who are incompetent!"
"You can't burn all the weeds; they will grow again with the spring breeze." Your Majesty should understand this truth.
Just a few words shocked everyone.
