Chapter 2179: Impact
"Don't worry about them." Old Madam Long shook her head. "If you dare to look for them, you can get out today."
Long Ao Ming: "..."
Yep, his status is officially the lowest in the household.
Shaking his head slightly, Long Ao Ming then tried to find other gossips he heard on the frontline to share with his mother. Even though Old Madam Long was already quite old, but she still liked to hear gossips.
In this way, the mother and son got along harmoniously.
...
<Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace>
Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua's marriage was a big matter. At least, for many of the politicians, it is a very big matter.
Reason?
It was naturally because Emperor Yang Zhou came personally.
There were not many people whom Emperor Yang Zhou would pay attention to. Even if the relatives of his wife and concubines were to have some particular events, he would let them go and send some gifts.
There were also times when he asked Prince Yang Lu to be the one to represent him. In any case, Prince Yang Lu was still a member of the Imperial Family and sending him would not cause many troubles.
It still represented his face.
Emperor Yang Zhou himself was looking at the report given by the dark guard after his return. It could be seen that many officials were concerned about this matter and even if they tried their best to keep neutral, it was not entirely possible.
Some people didn't care too much.
But the number of people who did so were simply too few.
"Your Highness, it's time to rest," Prime Minister Lan reminded Emperor Yang Zhou. After the banquet in Long Family Residence, Emperor Yang Zhou was busy reviewing the report from the dark guard.
It was late at night and Prime Minister Lan had also finished his work recently. This was actually the job of the eunuch, but Emperor Yang Zhou didn't seem to want to have too many eunuch.
The result of this was naturally Prime Minister Lan was still working late at night.
He sighed deeply.
He also wanted to go back home to stay with his family....
"I know." Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and then stood up. He had to take care of the relationship between the officials and so on. It was difficult to make sure that the balance of the power was not broken.
Even now, Emperor Yang Zhou felt rather tired.
The head eunuch was already waiting for Emperor Yang Zhou outside, but Emperor Yang Zhou didn't want to go out just yet.
"How was the investigation go?"
"The result is quite good so far, Your Majesty. The situation in the east area is still heated up, but Great General Long can still handle it. In addition, the nobles have been weakened due to the war in the past two years."
Heavenly General Sang could be said to have contributed a lot to this matter.
The nobles were forced to use the forces under them to fight against Fei Yang Kingdom, but they didn't cooperate well. This resulted in Shi Long Kingdom's loss again and again. At the same time, many forces under these nobles Shi Long Kingdom also lost the army under them and couldn't rise up.
Thanks to this, the number of nobles they have to pay attention to had been reduced. As for whether they wanted to make move against Fei Yang Kingdom or not, it was another question.
Time will tell the answer.
"It's good." Emperor Yang Zhou nodded. "Make sure that these officials would not make any unnecessary move. I don't want to clean up their mess."
Unnecessary move?
Prime Minister Lan looked at the list that Emperor Yang Zhou handed to him and sighed deeply in his heart. These were the names of people who reacted negatively to the favor Emperor Yang Zhou showed to Long Qian Xing.
The friendship between Long Qian Xing and Emperor Yang Zhou could be said to be good.
It was because the two of them have spent so much time and also fight side by side that they were able to continue like this.
'Does he not care about balance or he has other plans?'
Prime Minister Lan knew that Emperor Yang Zhou trust Long Qian Xing to a certain degree. But this degree could be said to be extremely big because Emperor Yang Zhou was willing to let Long Qian Xing held power and might even watch over the people who were hostile to
him.
For a politician, it would be better to let these people clash against each other.
But at the same time, it was also true that Long Qian Xing had lost a lot in this war against Shi Long Kingdom. Many of his soldiers would never be able to return.
Perhaps, Emperor Yang Zhou was not completely cold hearted.
For this old friend of his, he was still willing to show his favor towards them.
...
The next day, Emperor Yang Zhou held the usual morning court.
Prime Minister Lan could see that the people whom Emperor Yang Zhou asked him to pay attention to were all trying to mention about the matter of Long Qian Xing from time to time, but they could see that it was useless.
Emperor Yang Zhou was not willing to listen to them.
And in his opinion, Long Qian Xing is his friend and also close comrades. It was also clear that Long Qian Xing had no interest towards this seat of his.
So he didn't have to worry so much.
These officials were simply annoying.
Among these officials, Song Chuan was listening and sighed deeply. He was one of the few people who were close to Long Qian Xing due to the latter's mission back then. Even now, he was still working for Long Qian Xing and passed him information from the court. Hearing these people wanted to deal with Long Qian Xing, Song Chuan shook his head in his
heart.
He knew their efforts would be futile.
