The Emperor was not stupid, otherwise, he wouldnāt have been able to surpass the other sixteen princes and ascend the throne. In only a few short years, he took back the lost land and headed South to battle. At 25 years old, he unified the North and South.
Watching the Prime Minister banging his head on the pillar day in day out, a playful thought was born in the Emperorās heart. During court sessions, he kept spouting things like wanting to increase the tax to fill up the treasury, leading the army to the West and destroying Great Yue who had a good relationship with them, or prohibiting trading with other countries.
Every time the Prime Minister finished listening, he would sigh, then rushed to the pillar. The officials immediately divided into two groups at lightning speed. Each one had its own duty, one stopping the Prime Minister, the other stopping the Emperor.
After the Prime Minister was successfully stopped, he picked up a sleeve and pretended to wipe his tears, his arms shook and trembled just like the old Prime Minister in the past, however, when these things applied to the current Prime Minister, it looked a little bit different.
He was using the āold official shedding tearsā trick, attempting to awaken the young Emperorās conscience.
Except that, his tears did not awaken the Emperorās conscience but woke up the little brother in his lower half.
The Emperor had a good view from where he sat and could see everything clearly with his good eyesight.
The Prime Minister pretended to hit the pillar. The people in court trying to stop him. His clothes were pulled here and there. Finally, he sat on the ground, his waist as thin as willow, soft hair fell on the sides of his face.
Although the crying was not very convincing, his eyes were still rimmed red, and this pink-kish color spread from his face to his ears, and even down his neck.
Transparent teardrops fell one after another, the play was supposed to be: old minister failed to die, silently shedding eldersā tears, which flowed into Emperorās heart.
What eldersā tears! This was clearly beautyās tears! He was like a humiliated beauty who fallen in front of the whole court, weeping so much that the Emperor panicked and couldnāt help but feel pity.
The Emperor quickly said, āAlright, I wonāt do that anymore, get up.ā
The Prime Minister immediately knelt and shouted: āThe Emperor is wise!ā
The officials behind him also shouted, āThe Emperor is wise!ā
The Emperor was 25 years of age. When he was young, he was busy fighting to ascend the throne, establishing his career, fighting the North then conquering the South. He didnāt even have time for lust, so naturally, he would know nothing about romance.
Now, the feeling for the Prime Minister had sprouted in his heart and ready to break out of its shell at any time, but because he didnāt understand what it was, he couldnāt voice it out. He only knew that seeing the Prime Minister hitting his head on the pillar and shedding tears everyday made his lower body feel weirdly fascinated, and his heart was also very comfortable.
Even when sleeping at night, he also dreamt about the beauty banging head and shedding tears. But because his knowledge was limited, the scene stopped at shedding tears, and he woke up feeling a little wet down there for no reason.
And so, to make himself comfortable and happy, the Emperor spouted novel and crazy ideas on court every day.
The Prime Ministerās duty, besides taking care of national affairs, included rushing to the pillar during court sessions daily. Very soon, he became an expert at it, hitting head when he wanted to, shedding tears when wanted to. At the beginning, he still needed to use mint oil to squeeze out some tears, but not anymore.
The rumors said that the Emperor was a tyrant, only the Prime Minister dared to speak bluntly and restrained the Emperor from going wild and ruining the country, truly deserved to be a minister coming from a family with generations of loyal ministers. Everyone was full of praise when it came to the Prime Minister.
The exaggerated praises reached the Prime Ministerās ears, and he thought he really did a good job! The Emperor didnāt really care about the rumors, as long as the Prime Minister went to court, hit his head, and cried every day, it was good.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with their current status quo.
