The Return of the Demon

The corner of Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. It turned out that this kid had doubted his identity for a long time.

He just guessed wrong and mistook him for Prince Fu.

"Ning Chen, why do you think I am Prince Fu?"

Nonsense, who would have thought that the emperor was so bored that he would leave the three thousand beauties in the harem and run out of the palace every few days. Isn't he afraid of being killed?

Ning Chen said somewhat flatteringly: "Because uncle... No, because your majesty is handsome, speaks well, and has an extraordinary demeanor. Only the descendants of the royal family have such momentum, so I thought your majesty was the Prince of Fu."

"The most important thing is that your majesty is diligent in politics and loves the people. He is busy with all kinds of affairs. I think your majesty should not have time to leave the palace... That's why I mistakenly recognized your majesty as the Prince of Fu."

The Emperor Xuan's face was serious, and he said: "Do you mean that I am not a good emperor because I often leave the palace?"

Ning Chen hurriedly said: "No, no... I absolutely don't mean that. I just think that your majesty is wise and powerful, knows how to combine work and rest, and occasionally leaves the palace to relax, so that you can better handle state affairs."

The Emperor Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "You have a good mouth and a dog brain... You can actually recognize me as the Prince of Fu?"

Fuck... You have a dog brain? If you don't investigate, you don't know that my name is Ning Chen. We are the same, so don't laugh at each other? Ning Chen complained in his heart

Emperor Xuan snorted and said, "Your eyes are on your ass, you only recognize the clothes and not the person... I give you this sentence!"

Ning Chen: "..."

Fuck... You use my words to scold me, you are really good at it?

"Uncle... No, Your Majesty is teaching me that I am blind and do not know the emperor's face. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan smiled, but he was very satisfied with Ning Chen's attitude in his heart.

Who said Ning Chen is not afraid of power? When he saw me, he was like a mouse seeing a cat?

"Ning Chen, let me ask you, do you want to die or live?"

Ning Chen said without hesitation, "I want to live."

Any hesitation for a second is disrespect for this way of life.

It is better to live than to die. Even ants are greedy for life... Who wants to die if they can live?

Emperor Xuan nodded and said, "Although I am the emperor, I must abide by the Great Xuan Law... If you want to live, you must make amends for your crime, are you willing?"

Nonsense, your son forcibly robbed a woman in broad daylight and treated the Great Xuan Law as a joke, and you, as a father, told me to abide by the Great Xuan Law, are you fooling two idiots? Ning Chen complained in his heart.

Ning Chen complained, but he hurriedly said, "I am willing to make amends for your crime... What poems does Your Majesty want? I will rack my brains to write them for you."

Emperor Xuan snorted and said, "Do you think that writing a few poems can make amends for your crime?"

"Although I like poems, I will never ignore the Great Xuan Law for a few poems."

Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead... No poems? What do you want after saying so much?

"Your Majesty is wise, and I admire you with all my heart."

"Scholars are useless. Poetry and songs can be used for leisure and entertainment, but they should not be vigorously developed... Putting emphasis on culture and neglecting military is not the way for a country to develop and become strong."

The Emperor Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Putting emphasis on culture and neglecting military, why is it not the way for a country to develop and become strong?"

Ning Chen said seriously: "Entertainment to death, scholars are the culprit of the country, the enemy will not be afraid of our Great Xuan Dynasty because of a few poems... What really scares them is the sharp arrows of our Great Xuan soldiers."

"Well said!"

General Chen breathed rapidly with excitement, and his beard trembled.

In recent years, there have been no major battles in Great Xuan, so poetry and songs have gradually become the mainstream, and young men from all over the country are greedy for pleasure, and the lazy wind is prevalent, which makes him feel sad.

In other words, after eating a few days of full meals, have you forgotten whether the northwest wind is cold?

Emperor Xuan smiled and asked, "Ning Chen, are you willing to serve the country?"

Ning Chen said seriously, "I once knew a man who sacrificed himself for a group of strangers."

"Before he died, I asked him, is it worth it? He told me... people have to do something while they are alive, and they can't live in vain."

The man Ning Chen was talking about was his former instructor, a tough soldier who died to save a group of strangers.

The Emperor Xuan and others didn't understand and looked at Ning Chen in confusion.

Ning Chen said word by word, "What I want to say is... if one day, I need to do something for the people? I am willing!"

Even if he sacrificed, it would be worth his trip to this world.

Ning Chen felt that he could travel to this world not because of luck, but because of his immortal military spirit.

Emperor Xuan nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't notice... Ning Chen was talking about doing something for the people? Not for the royal family.

"Ning Chen, since you are willing to make meritorious contributions... then I will allow you to work in the Supervisory Department and grant you silver clothes."

Silver clothes are silver fish scale clothes, which are considered the third level in the Supervisory Department.

People who have just entered the Supervisory Department can only wear red fish scale clothes, which belong to the lowest level.

Wearing silver fish scale clothes is not very impressive, and you cannot handle cases independently.

Only people wearing gold fish scale clothes can be responsible for investigating cases alone.

There are only eight people wearing gold fish scale clothes in the entire Supervisory Department, and each of them is a master among masters.

As for the person wearing purple fish scale clothes, there is only one person, the head of the Supervisory Department, that is, the person named Geng Jing in front of him, who can be summoned without the emperor, and officials below the fifth rank have the power to execute first and report later.

Fuck...Emperor Xuan is a bit stingy, so he gave me silver clothes.

Duke Quan publicly reminded him: "Ning Chen, why don't you thank the Holy Grace?"

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the common people don't want to join the Supervision Department... The common people want to follow General Chen on the battlefield, kill the enemy, perform meritorious service, and protect the country."

Everyone was shocked!

This is a gift from His Majesty himself, how dare Ning Chen refuse?

Eunuch Quan said in a sharp voice: "Ning Chen, how brave are you to disobey the Holy Word? Why don't you kowtow and confess your sins?"

What Eunuch Quan said was actually a reminder to Ning Chen, asking him to agree quickly.

Disobeying the emperor's orders is a capital crime.

General Chen was very worried. Ning Chen was a rare general. He also wanted Ning Chen to go to the battlefield... but disobeying the emperor's order was a serious crime.

He glanced at Emperor Xuan and saw that Emperor Xuan's face darkened, and his heart skipped a beat.

No one has ever dared to disobey Emperor Xuan's words... Although Emperor Xuan has the reputation of being a benevolent emperor, he is the emperor after all, and he never shows mercy when killing people.

Emperor Xuan asked with a cold face: "Give me a reason!"

Because I don’t want to be a royal eagle dog. Is this reason enough?

Of course, I only dare to think about this in my heart. If I say it out loud, my life may be gone in the next second.

Ning Chen looked honest and said, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. The common people think... that the reputation of the Supervision Department is too bad."

Emperor Xuan's expression froze.

Others also have weird expressions. Is this the reason?

The reputation of the Supervision Department is indeed very bad. Officials avoid it like snakes and scorpions, and the people even call the Supervision Department the Hall of Hell.

Geng Jing's face turned blue and white in turns, and Ning Chen's words were equivalent to saying something close to his face.

The Supervision Department has a bad reputation. In addition to some of its own reasons, it is also indispensable that you literati are behind the scenes... Geng Jing's slander.

"Master Geng, don't be angry... I know that I don't slap people in the face, and I don't expose shortcomings when answering words, but in front of His Majesty, I dare not lie to you. This is what I think in my heart."

Geng Jing's mouth twitched, wanting to strangle Ning Chen... There are so many people, what do you want me to do?
