Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 230 - 228: Lost the Wife and the Troops (25th Update)
Chapter 230: Chapter 228: Lost the Wife and the Troops (25th Update)
During this moment, the Sixth Prince felt somewhat embarrassed, standing there, not knowing what to say for a while.
Fortunately, at this time, the young Emperor’s voice rang out again. His gaze toward the Sixth Prince was filled with kindness as he continued to ask:
"Oh, right, what was it that Sixth Imperial Uncle was about to say just now?"
At this time, the Sixth Prince, despite feeling incredibly awkward, could only force himself to speak:
"Ah, haha. Many thanks for Your Majesty’s kindness, but although the money was raised by your subject, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to demand it from Minister Lin.
After all, these glazed glass pieces do have their costs, how could your subject have the audacity to take advantage of Minister Lin?
What I mean to say is, concerning the matter of the Nanshan Thousand Households, your subject has a memorandum to present."
Upon hearing these words, the young Emperor’s brows suddenly furrowed.
She hadn’t expected that, even at this juncture, the Sixth Imperial Uncle would dare to bring up this matter.
It seems he is truly brazen, thinking that I wouldn’t dare to deal with him.
Haha, but you didn’t consider that if I don’t deal with you, couldn’t I simply deal with the officials who’ve pledged allegiance to you?
For anyone who’s openly associated with you, I could just take them and execute them. I’d like to see, after chopping a few, whether you’d still dare to be so insolent?
However, before the young Emperor could open her mouth to speak, the Sixth Prince’s voice resounded once again:
"Your Majesty has just spoken, and your subject has heard all. However, I have significant reservations about it.
Even though the Nanshan Thousand Households is a new military formation and recruits were picked from among the refugees, these people are penniless and unarmed. How can they be expected to purchase weapons and armor?
Therefore, your subject feels that this is not quite right and they shouldn’t be required to resolve the equipment issue on their own.
Your subject believes that since they are soldiers of the court, it is only natural for the court to provide for their armors and equipment. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
When he said this, the Sixth Prince’s serious demeanor made everyone present drop their jaws.
Including the young Emperor, who wanted to make an example out of someone, she was stunned. She never imagined that this individual would actually say such things, even Lin Yi was speechless at this moment.
A person without shame is invincible; at this moment, the Sixth Prince thoroughly demonstrated this point.
Now, he was shamelessly and perfectly embodying this trait.
He could say such a thing with all seriousness.
It was obvious what he was originally planning to say, but after hearing the young Emperor’s threat, he was remarkably adaptable and abruptly shifted the topic.
Even the young Emperor was caught off guard for a moment.
Upon looking again at the Sixth Prince, the young Emperor opened her mouth a few times but ultimately didn’t speak.
Well, I’ve seen shameless, but I’ve never seen someone this shameless.
Originally, you wanted to dissuade me from establishing this garrison, yet all of a sudden the wind changed direction and even the weapons are now prepared. Haha, this is indeed quite amusing.
And following the Sixth Prince’s outburst, his entourage immediately began to echo his sentiments.
There, in the court, more than half of the officials began to express their support for the Sixth Prince’s statement, backing the provision of equipment for the new army.
What a joke, when the master has spoken, why maintain any pretense?
Who wouldn’t want to seize the opportunity to perform at a time like this?
If one could leave a good impression on the young Emperor, perhaps the evidence in their hands might just be directly destroyed?
Yet the ensuing chatter nearly caused Sixth Prince at the forefront to spit blood on the spot.
Good grief, this Prince has no other choice, to have come to this point before speaking such contrary words, but here you all are in fine shape, joining in the fuss for what?
Even worse, upon hearing Sixth Prince’s words, the Guard General from within the group of Generals of the Imperial Camp took a step forward and then spoke up loudly:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Sixth Prince speaks the truth. Our army possesses a batch of fairly decent Armor equipment, perfectly suitable for outfitting the new troops."
As soon as these words came out, they dominated the assembly instantly. With the shout, the entire hall quieted down in a blink.
Upon hearing this, Sixth Prince stumbled, infuriated to the point of coughing repeatedly on the spot.
At the same time, he glared venomously, turning his head to look at the burly man, wishing he could walk over and tear him apart right there and then.
All of this naturally did not escape the eyes of Lin Yi and the young Emperor. As they watched, they exchanged glances, both noticing the barely restrained smiles on each other’s faces.
Well, well, not only is Sixth Prince shameless, but these subordinates of his are equally so. And how adeptly they twist the knife; each jab painfully hits right where it hurts for Sixth Prince.
However, the words were already spoken. Sixth Prince had previously given his clear support. It was now impermissible to retract or disagree with the provision of military equipment.
For this reason, perhaps fearing Sixth Prince might have second thoughts or the stout man might reconsider and retract his statement, the young Emperor immediately slammed his hand on the table and spoke:
"Excellent! Worthy of being the Sixth Imperial Uncle, truly broad-minded.
Very good, since the Imperial Camp has a batch of equipment, let’s send it directly to Nanshan Thousand Households.
This task shall be personally handled by the Sixth Imperial Uncle."
No sooner had Sixth Prince calmed down did he start coughing again after this statement.
Murderous and heart-wrenching, the young Emperor has truly learned to be cunning.
Every phrase is aimed to be murderous and heart-wrenching.
Lin Yi could not help but click his tongue in wonder as he watched this unfold.
He could even imagine what kind of mood Sixth Prince was in right now.
He must be wishing he could slap himself.
Hehe, it would have been fine to just stand by and enjoy the show, why bother chipping in?
In the end, not only losing his wife, but also his troops!
But the words have been spoken; there is no taking them back now.
Although Sixth Prince is bleeding inwardly, not only has he failed to stop the establishment of the guard station, but he even personally delivered a batch of weapons.
At this point, it’s clear he has no way out.
However, at this moment, besides the young Emperor and Lin Yi feeling excited, there was another person who nearly burst out laughing.
...End of the Chapter...
