The moment he discarded the Imperial Edict and took up the letter, the smile that had graced his face gradually darkened, culminating in a fist slamming down on the table.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
How dare Zhao Jue harbor pirates and attack the Kaihai Division?! For a mere trifle of maritime gain, he dares to obstruct me?!
In the past, I might have turned a blind eye, considering his years of hard work. But now? Anyone who stands in my way shall be killed!
Startled, the Old Eunuch immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Your Majesty, please calm your anger! May Your Majesty live long and prosper; let not external evils invade. But great joy and great anger can harm your royal health!"
The Emperor cast an unhappy glance at the Old Eunuch. Ultimately, out of regard for their long-standing relationship, he chose not to make things difficult for him. "Get up! I am perfectly fine! What are you worrying about?!"
"Summon Xiao Wei Commander!"
As previously mentioned, Xiao Wei is the Emperor's secret guard, an intelligence agency that serves only him, dedicated to managing corrupt officials within the court.
Xiao Wei Commander arrived at the imperial study with confusion and anxiety. "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and prosper."
"I am not well!" The Emperor's mood was extremely foul as he pointed at his subordinate's head and scolded, "How does your Xiao Wei operate? The Minister of Revenue Zhao Jue is raising pirates, and you didn’t know about it?!"
It must be said that after taking the Elixir of Longevity, the Emperor was no longer as calm and composed as before. His emotions were clearly more volatile and less restrained.
This was due to the extended lifespan causing a re-secretion of related hormones within his body.
But no one dared to say that the Emperor was younger; after all, power remained unchanged. What difference would it make to accuse him of being emotional?
Xiao Wei Commander was utterly bewildered. Minister of Revenue Zhao Jue? That guy is raising a group of pirates?
Of course, bewilderment aside, Xiao Wei Commander reacted quickly. Knowing that showing ignorance at this moment would lead to disaster, he quickly bowed his head. "I am incompetent! Such a significant matter has escaped my notice! I deserve death a thousand times over; I implore Your Majesty to punish me!"
"Before you deal with this matter," he continued, "please allow me to leave a letter suggesting that Xiao Wei increase maritime reconnaissance personnel in order to avoid situations where court officials harbor pirates without our knowledge!"
"If I could be allowed to take responsibility and apprehend Zhao Jue, I would be immensely grateful!"
The first step was naturally to admit fault. The Emperor was in a rage; if you were to deflect blame at this moment by claiming ignorance, what use would he have for you?
The second step was to acknowledge the mistake. Pirates should be at sea; if Xiao Wei was temporarily unaware, it was because there were no personnel available at sea.
Now that I know I was wrong, I will add more maritime intelligence personnel in the future to show the emperor my loyalty and ability, so that I can save my life. Step three? That is to kill this bastard Zhao Jue! Almost killed by Zhao Jue! It's incomprehensible. You are the Minister of Revenue Zhao Jue, in charge of the world's taxes and the dynasty's money, why do you support pirates? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Seeing that Xiao Wei Commander performed well, the emperor reluctantly calmed down, but his expression was still gloomy and he didn't look at him: Since you said so, then do it cleanly for me! I don't want to see, after I take down Zhao Jue, that bastard who tried to hinder my growth, any more troubles from Zhao Jue's disciples! Also, it was mentioned in the old letter that Zhao Jue has another masterpiece, and we must capture him alive! Send to Xia Cheng immediately! The house search was divided into two groups. One group went to search openly and declared to the outside world that no valuables were found. The other batch will be searched secretly and no one should know about it. Do you understand? yes! Xiao Wei CommanderWhen I saw the road, I prostrated myself: I will never let your majesty down! While people were still kowtowing before the emperor, Xiao Wei Commander was already thinking about how Zhao Jue would die.
