Chapter 7 — Being Betrayed by the General, I Became the Protector of the Nation's Wealth, Making Him Kneel and Pray

That person was wearing an ink-colored royal robe embroidered with gold thread, simple and solemn in design, no one had ever seen it before, but it vaguely exuded an aura of nobility that surpassed all types of official robes. The figure is straight, each step is leisurely. When that face completely appeared under the bright lights in the main hall, the whole Death Temple immediately fell into a dead silence. Everyone simultaneously took a breath of cold air. Luc Thoi Nghien's pupils in that moment shrank to the limit! The hand holding the hilt of his sword was so strong that his joints turned white and trembled slightly. Khuong Nguyet Linh felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body stiffened on the spot, the blood on her face quickly drained away at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only endless horror and disbelief! Tham Tri Y! It's Tham Tri Y again! It was Tham Tri Y who was forced to leave by them, and was treated as a joke by them! She is not dead! She also did not decline! She became... Mr. Dich Sinh?! 【This... Impossible! Absolutely impossible!】 Khuong Nguyet Linh's mind made a "bee" sound, completely blank. I ignored those surprised, shocked and unbelieving eyes, walked directly to the middle of the main hall, bowed slightly to the Emperor sitting on the dragon's chair, neither arrogant nor cowardly.

“The people pay their respects to His Majesty.”

I don't kneel. The Emperor not only did not get angry, but instead laughed loudly, personally stepped down from the dragon chair, and took my arm.

"Sir, there is no need to be so polite! You have contributed to the country and completely deserve to be treated like this!"

He turned around, facing the courtiers, his voice resounding.

"You probably still don't know. Over the past month, our Dai Zhou national treasury has been exhausted, military provisions at the border are in danger, all thanks to Mr. Dich Sinh using his single-man strength to turn the world around, mobilizing a huge amount of money from Jiangnan, to solve the urgent situation of the court!"

"Today, right here, I ordain Mr. Dich Sinh as the first 'National Protector of Wealth and Wealth' since the day Dai Zhou founded the country! First-class mandarin, when you meet an official three levels higher, you don't need to kneel when you meet me!"

The whole crowd absolutely exploded! Quan Cu First Grade! Meeting the Emperor without kneeling! What a great honor that is! Those who once laughed at me and pitied me, now only felt their faces burning as if they had been slapped. As for those who saw me off at Thap Ly Truong Dinh that day, at this moment they are all standing in the middle of the crowd, straightening their chests with infinite pride. Treasurer Cam Tu Cac, the Grand Master of Tien Trang Tu Hai Thong... They are all the owners of Thinh Tuyet Lau everywhere! Today, they came to attend the palace banquet as representatives of the Royal Trade. At the same time, it was also to witness the moment their Lord of the Palace came to the world! My eyes slowly scanned the entire main hall. Finally stopping on Khuong Nguyet Linh with her face as white as ashes and Luc Thoi Nghien stiff as a stone statue. I looked at them, slightly curled the corners of my lips, and gave a meaningful smile just like when I left. 【I told you, the fun has only just begun.】 A mournful scream suddenly tore through the commotion in the Temple of Death. Khuong Nguyet Linh seemed crazy, rushing out from the corner of the palace and pointing straight at me, his face distorted fiercely.

"It's you! It's all you! You're the one who plotted it! You're the one who harmed me!"

Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked like a crazy person.

"You already knew everything! You intentionally let me crawl into his bed! You intentionally let everyone see! You were sent away on purpose! Just because you wanted to see us become a laughingstock! Just to get revenge on us!"

"Tham Tri Y! Your heart is so cruel!"

She screamed madly, exposing all the evil things and plots before the civil and military rulers. 【Finally admit it? I thought you could pretend forever.】 I coldly watched her act, from beginning to end without saying a word. Old Master Khuong's face was as pale as a pig's liver. He quickly rushed forward to cover her mouth, but was pushed aside by her. Luc Thoi Nghien's face became even more unsightly.
