The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 17 Part 2

"Was it ineffective?" Qi Junmu asked in reply.

Lin Xiao naturally could not lie through his teeth—how could it have been ineffective? The effect was quite clear. Qi Junyou, no matter how uncomfortable he felt and how much he didn't want to go to Qingzhou, did not dare utter a single word of protest and still had to follow the Emperor's will.

But this was not the conduct of a gentleman. Lin Xiao was simply worried that if word spread, it would harm the Emperor's reputation. Moreover, governing such a vast realm—if the Emperor used such tactics for everything, that would surely invite criticism.

A number of common folk had followed them all the way, watching Fang Zichen's entourage enter the courtyard house before finally murmuring among themselves.

"So this really is the new prefect sent from above."

Someone gave a heavy sigh. "Now our Hezhou is truly doomed."

The others nearby said nothing.

Fang Zichen's procession was far too grand—several carts full of goods, so long that when they passed through the streets, the front could not be seen from the back.

Chapter 17

Before sending Qi Junyou out of the palace, the Emperor summoned Yang Jinglei and Qi Junzhuo. 

To Yang Jinglei, the Emperor's instruction was to follow Prince Jin's (Qi Junzhuo) orders and guard Prince Ping's safety with utmost care.

To Qi Junzhuo, the Emperor's admonition was that since they were heading to Qingzhou, a place unfamiliar to them, he was granting him an imperial sword—should anyone with ill intentions do something that harms others and themselves, Qi Junzhuo had the right to execute them on the spot.

Chapter 360

The deputy prefect had known well in advance that the new official coming to take up the post was a young man—the top scholar from the year before last, who had only been in the Hanlin Academy for less than a year and was exceptionally favoured by the Emperor. His abilities, however, were lacking. 

In the beginning, the Emperor had been frantic over the affairs of Hezhou, dispatching one imperial edict after another to the prefecture. The deputy prefect had spent so much time kneeling to receive those decrees that the skin on his knees had peeled off four layers over. But a few months ago, a decree came from the capital ordering him to temporarily fill the position, as Lord Fang—the official the court was dispatching—had a fulang who had not yet finished his confinement after childbirth and would likely be delayed for a while.

When Qi Junyou was summoned by the Emperor today, he had been feeling quite uneasy. He wondered whether he had not been low-key enough lately, or whether the new Emperor was looking for an excuse to find fault with him. There was no way to know for certain.

Upon hearing that the matter concerned Qingzhou, Qi Junyou felt that the Emperor might very well be using this as a pretext to eliminate him.

So when the emperor questioned him, he replied very respectfully: "Your Majesty, this humble subject does not know about this matter."

Zhao Ger had Uncle Tang give out red envelopes to Yu Ger and the others, telling them to go enjoy themselves outside after the meal, since they'd be back on the road tomorrow.

Yu Ger and the others were thrilled—they were still young and loved joining in the festivities.

Feng momo and Uncle Tang chose not to go, staying behind at the inn to watch the little ones. So Fang Zichen took Zhao Ger and the two children out instead. Xiao Feng was led by Zhao Ger's hand, while Guaizai rode as usual on Fang Zichen's shoulders.

Chapter 16

Madam Wen wanted to see Wen Wan because they all knew that the Emperor truly had Wen Wan in his heart.

Although she was a woman of the inner courtyard, she had seen this matter clearly. Wen Yao and Qi Fan had indeed done something wrong – they were loose-lipped and got caught making public remarks about someone's private life – but they had also been beaten by Shen Nian.

The imperial physicians all said Shen Nian's strikes were exceptionally vicious. At a glance, there wasn't a single mark on them, but the blows hurt terribly where they landed.
