Chapter 112: Cunning Words Lead to Advancement and Noble Pat

o why is his 'body' in my tiny apartment"“...”Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Damn it!Here it comes again!With the book spirit silenced, Gu Qian began to act arrogant...Although the two emperors of the Southern Dynasty squandered state funds, ordinary people still lived a prosperous life.

After all, the previous generations of good emperors left behind a stable empire. These two generations of emperors haven't even finished depleting their own national treasury.

So even though the people liked to criticize the emperor as inept, they never considered rebelling.

Even Qi Jiangyang's desire to rebel had weakened after seeing Nan Xiaoqing's "changes" recently.

He had previously ingratiated himself with the court officials, also due to his father's influence.

His father was already a senior official before he retired, and his days were filled with being brainwashed by the sixth-generation emperor who obsessed over cultivating immortality. He was about to go insane.

If it weren't for the fact that the sixth emperor was nothing but a prodigal, his father might have rebelled long ago.

The fortune teller said that the Qi family is born with a rebellious nature.

Of course, the fortune teller has since become fertilizer in his backyard.

Qi Jiangyang was deeply influenced by his father and did not particularly revere imperial power. He advocated for the people first, and during Empress Dowager's regency years, he often expressed discontent.

Back then, he wasn't the Minister of Finance yet, and his father hadn't retired either. The two of them got together and first drove out that meddling old hag, the Empress Dowager, and returned power to the young emperor.

Who would have thought, the little emperor is even more troublesome than the six emperors!

The sixth generation emperor was just a superstitious immortal, the little emperor was simply an incompetent ruler!

He does not care about state affairs, and prefers to associate with the worthy while shunning the common people. He is licentious and depraved, extravagant and arrogant, treating the common people as if they were grass. In short, there isn't a single redeeming quality to be found in him.

Oh, besides looking alright.

But a single emperor only has this one advantage, which is the same as having no advantages at all!

So Qi Jiangyang ingratiated himself with the ministers, preparing to seize control of the government.

He was consoling the little emperor, making him happy while plotting to sideline him.

If the little emperor listens, well and good. If he doesn't listen, then they will have to consider changing emperors.

If changing emperors doesn't work, the worst-case scenario is that he takes the throne himself.

As long as the common people don't suffer, he doesn't mind suffering a bit.

However, the emperor has changed quite a bit recently. Not only does he go to court every day, but he is also doing a good job handling government affairs. Even he can't find fault with anything.

According to several senior officials, the emperor has finally seen the light.

Qi Jiangyang was in a bit of a predicament at this point.

The emperor's enlightenment is good for the people, but bad for him.

Especially recently, the emperor has been constantly reminding him to behave himself. It seems his rebellious heart might have been discovered by the emperor.

With his current power, it's impossible for him to rebel. And if the emperor improved, he wouldn't need to rebel either. He never wanted to be emperor in the first place; he just wanted the people to live better lives.

How could someone as upright as him possibly cause such widespread chaos for his own selfish gain This is completely against his original intentions.

...but not resist... Following his subordinates and their Qi family might all be in danger of annihilation.

So Qi Jiangyang had a terrible headache. Even when the Emperor made him hold the divine flower, he didn't feel a shred of glory. Instead, he felt like being boiled in oil, agony after agony.

There is nothing else, the Godly Flower is the highest honor among ministers. It is generally bestowed upon venerable elders who are highly respected.

Although the Emperor criticized him privately, he publicly showed him increasing favor.

Seeing those elders' originally admiring eyes turn cold, he felt that the former emperor had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, playing him all along.
