Chapter 231: Flashy Ministers 1

After having the meal, Yin Jianghong stood up and said, “It’s about time. You can find time to stroll around the remaining parts of the imperial palace. Now, it’s time to get down to business.”

“Business?”

After seeing Yin Jianghong’s ‘wretched’ side in Yuxiu Palace, Jiang Beiran was a little uncertain about the business he was talking about.

After leaving the imperial garden and walking for a while, Jiang Beiran walked into the most magnificent palace he had ever seen.

“This is the place where you have to attend morning court every day from now on, the Mystic Listening Palace.”

“What is this lousy name...” Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but grumble in his heart when he heard this name.

“Let’s go. The officials have been waiting for you in the palace for a long time.”

Following Yin Jianghong’s footsteps, Jiang Beiran arrived in front of the Mystic Listening Hall. The eunuch, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately raised his voice when he saw Jiang Beiran. He used his somewhat sharp voice to shout, “The Emperor has arrived!”

As the first “The Emperor has arrived” sounded, the 100-meter-high stairs also sounded one after another, “The Emperor has arrived!”

Following that, they saw a group of people carrying palanquins walking towards Jiang Beiran.

At the same time, a eunuch whose legs were numb from kneeling forced himself to stand up and walked to Jiang Beiran’s side, saying, “Your Majesty, please ascend the palanquin.”

Jiang Beiran glanced at the eunuch, then at the palanquin. He waved his hand to drive them away, saying, “Why should I sit in a palanquin? It’s only a short way. I can walk on my own. All of you may leave.”

The eunuch seemed to have something to say after hearing this, but in the end, he still respectfully retreated to the side.

Seeing the emperor come up the stairs from the main door, the officials in the Mystic Listening Palace were obviously not used to it. This was because this path was usually taken by the officials, and the emperor had a different path.

However, even if they were not used to it, they still walked out of the listening palace and lined up neatly in three rows at the door. When Jiang Beiran was halfway up the stairs, a eunuch shouted, “Kneel!”

All the officials immediately knelt down in unison.

“Hail!”

“Long Live!”

“Hail!”

“Long Live!”

“Hail!”

“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

Jiang Beiran, who had heard the “long live” from afar, continued to walk up unhurriedly until he saw a group of officials kneeling in a row.

“Yo, the official uniforms are quite garish.”

He saw that there were red, green, blue, purple, yellow, and green official uniforms of various colors on the bodies of the officials.

Jiang Beiran praised the uniform in his heart.

Glancing at them, Jiang Beiran realized that although the official uniforms had a variety of color and was kind of messy, the arrangement was not messy. The purple, red, and yellow rows were clearly separated. It was obvious that they were divided according to rank.

“This Imperial Court is much better than I expected.” Jiang Beiran had thought that this unimportant Imperial Court would be very casual, but now it seemed that it was still rather self-reliant.

“As you were, follow me in.”

Stepping into the Mystic Listening Palace, Jiang Beiran raised his head to take a look.

“Whoa... Impressive.”

Jiang Beiran felt that the first few palaces were already quite luxurious, but they were far more inferior to the Mystic Listening Palace.

From the caisson to the floor tiles, and even the pillars of the Mystic Listening Palace were all made of gold.

Moreover, the palace didn’t only have “common objects” like gold. The colorful paintings on the beams were also very beautiful. One had to know that Jiang Beiran was also a master-level in painting. If he was impressed by those paintings, then they were definitely good paintings.

“Not bad, this emperor position is quite interesting.”

Stepping on the steps made of white marble, Jiang Beiran and Yin Jianghong walked to the highest point together. Just as Jiang Beiran was hesitating whether to sit on the more luxurious dragon throne in front of Yin Jianghong in front of so many people, Yin Jianghong said softly, “Sit down. From now on, you are the master here, and I am the guest. You don’t have to care too much about my face.”

“So considerate... It’s making me a little nervous.”

When the two of them were together, it was fine if Jiang Beiran was a little casual. But now, in front of the officials, if he sat down and Yin Jianghong stood by the side, it would make Yin Jianghong look like a bodyguard. No, a bodyguard was too much. He was more like a law protector.

In short, it looked like he was inferior to Jiang Beiran.

Yin Jianghong didn’t even mind this. It could only be said that he was too magnanimous. If it was Guan Shi’an, he would definitely be a hundred times unwilling.

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to give in modestly, Yin Jianghong pressed him down on the dragon throne again.

All the officials in the hall clearly knew Yin Jianghong, and they also knew that he was one of the true leaders of Fengzhou. Seeing that he was actually standing beside Jiang Beiran like a law protector, all the officials were shocked.

“This new emperor is quite something. He can actually make that devil stand by the side obediently.’

“Could it be that this new emperor has some unspeakable blood relationship with this devil?”

“This new emperor’s background is probably even stronger than we thought... it’s better to not cause trouble.’

...

Looking at the officials lowering their heads, Jiang Beiran, who had never been an emperor before, didn’t know what to say next.

“My subordinates, report if you have anything to say and retreat if you don’t. Is that how they usually say?” Jiang Beiran was thinking what he should say.

However, Jiang Beiran felt that Yin Jianghong probably didn’t just bring him here for a show. So after a strange silence, Jiang Beiran decided to do as he pleased.

“Raise your heads, let me see what you all look like.”

The officials didn’t hesitate and raised their heads to look at Jiang Beiran.

“Wow, there are quite a number of young faces.”

Jiang Beiran thought that those who could make it to the Imperial Court were all old men who had matured. He did not expect that there were also quite a number of young people.
