Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 323

**Chapter 323: The Slacker Has An Audience (3)**

“You must kneel!”

“I already did.”

“That’s not it! Your hands are in the wrong direction!”

“Which hand goes on top?”

“The riiiiight! The right! The right! Damn it!”

“Damn it, what?”

“No, it’s just that…”

Myeonghwa was about to go crazy.

‘Where did this idiot come from?’

He received the order to teach etiquette and protocol to someone who was going to have an audience with the emperor. Since Yi Wangya, the Second Prince, had given the order, he was a little nervous, but he didn’t think it would be difficult. His job was to teach protocol.

But…

“Why don’t you understand after I explained it to you?”

“I need an excuse…”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho knelt and slammed the ground.

*Thud!*

The hard stone underneath shattered.

“……”

Myeonghwa, who thought he was being threatened, backed away in fear.

“You must hit the ground hard. Can you do it?”

“Does it make sense?”

“Yes. That’s how I feel.”

“……”

“If explanations were enough, no one in the Central Plains would have problems. But that’s not the case.”

It was a convincing fallacy.

Except that if someone learned the protocol repeatedly, even a monkey could do it.

“Ugh.”

Finally, Myeonghwa gave up.

“First…”

Myeonghwa looked at the sky, then looked at Wei Yanho, who was asleep, and shouted:

“Stop sleeping!”

Myeonghwa’s shout echoed through the mansion.

“…Yes?”

“I can’t. It’s impossible.”

Yi Wangya leaned back in frustration:

‘I’m not surprised by the headache anymore. It’s normal.’

It seemed like he always had it.

“Is it that difficult to learn the protocol?”

“With other people…”

Yi Wangya frowned:

“He’s probably being lazy.”

“To be honest, I don’t think that’s the case.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Myeonghwa said uncomfortably:

“I heard he’s the biggest slacker in the world, so I prepared myself… but he’s not being lazy, he’s just sleepy. It seems like he knows he has to do it.”

“Then?”

Why can’t he learn it?

“Sometimes, you find that type of person when teaching.”

“Huh?”

“They are quick at learning what they consider ‘important,’ but slow at learning other things.”

“Ugh…”

“The biggest problem is that they don’t use their brain to decide what is ‘important’.”

“Their body decides?”

“Yes. I think this is useless. Even if you teach…”

“Enough with the monkey story.”

Yi Wangya sighed.

Although he was annoyed with Wei Yanho, he respected his achievements. He respected his power at that age. Comparing him to a monkey was excessive.

“Teaching that guy protocol is difficult, right?”

“It’s not difficult, it’s impossible. It’s not that he doesn’t want to learn.”

“…I understand.”

Yi Wangya nodded gravely:

‘It’s not unexpected.’

He didn’t know why Moon Yuhwan wanted Wei Yanho to meet the emperor, but Yi Wangya knew the dangers.

If you know the result, you must try to reduce the risk.

“It seems that a formal audience is impossible.”

This was also for Wei Yanho.

If he made a mistake in an informal place, he could hide it, but he couldn’t if he made a mistake in front of all the officials.

Expecting Wei Yanho not to make a mistake was like expecting lightning on a clear day.

“Ugh, things don’t always go as one wants.”

Yi Wangya sighed deeply.

“……I’ll go with you.”

Wei Jeonghan said with determination:

“No. I’ll go with you.”

Wei Sanho didn’t back down:

“I must go. It’s my responsibility as head of the family.”

“I’m old enough. I can do it. Taking care of my brother is my duty.”

“Taking care of your son is a father’s duty. Don’t say anything.”

“But…”

Wei Yanho looked at the two with a serious expression and said:

“They said no one can go with me.”

“…No.”

“Ugh.”

Wei Jeonghan and Wei Sanho lowered their heads in frustration.

They were afraid.

They were afraid of what Wei Yanho would do in the imperial palace. Even Wei Sanho, who always trusted Wei Yanho, hesitated.

Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Yanho and spoke:

“Yanho.”

“Huh?”

“…You know that you could be executed if you anger the emperor, right?”

“I know.”

“So if something happens…”

Wei Jeonghan said firmly:

“Make sure they don’t involve your family…”

“Damn it!”

Wei Yanho threw a pillow:

“Is that what you tell your son?”

“The living must live!”

“Who died?”

“No one has died… yet…”

“Khak!”

Wei Yanho shouted:

“If I die, I’ll say I learned from you, so keep that in mind!”

“Ungrateful! You should save your father!”

“You should save your son!”

Wei Jeonghan lowered his head in frustration:

“Father, ancestors… please protect Yanho. He’s going to the imperial palace.”

“I don’t understand why you’re so worried.”

When Wei Yanho scratched his head, the others clicked their tongues:

‘Only you don’t know.’

‘Doesn’t he know who he is? Was it really unintentional?’

“Amida Buddha.”

Even Musan prayed:

“Destiny is destiny…”

*Thud!*

Everyone shook their heads as they watched Musan fall after being hit.

‘Why are you getting into trouble?’

‘Since he’s a monk, he has no common sense.’

“I’ll be back fine, don’t worry. The emperor is a person.”

“…The more I listen, the more worried I am.”

Before Wei Jeonghan could say anything, a servant opened the door:

“They have ordered to prepare the palanquin.”

“Hiik!”

“The moment has arrived!”

“Finally!”

People were surprised.

What they had imagined was happening. Wei Yanho was going to the imperial palace. The others looked at Wei Yanho with anxiety, knowing how dangerous it was.

“Then, I’m leaving.”

‘If I can come back.’

‘If I can get out of the imperial palace, it will be a great success.’

Wei Yanho, knowing how they felt, waved his hand and left.

“He left.”

“…He left.”

Gong Mujin looked at Wei Jeonghan seriously:

“Senior.”

“Hmm?”

“Shouldn’t we escape?”

“……”

“Like you said, the living must live. If we fail, the Wei family…”

“Damn it, brat!”

Wei Jeonghan kicked Gong Mujin and shouted:

“What are you saying?”

“You said it too!”

“That’s different! It’s not the same!”

“I’m worried! I’m worried!”

Gong Mujin shouted:

“It makes no sense to send him alone to the imperial palace! Didn’t you think about the consequences?”

“Hmph.”

Wei Jeonghan sneered:

“Although I pretended to worry in front of Yanho, who would trust their son if they don’t trust him?”

“…Are you sane?”

“Completely.”

Wei Jeonghan said firmly:

“Although it seems like he doesn’t think, he’s smarter than anyone here. And he can see further than anyone.”

Gong Mujin’s eyes trembled:

‘Is he serious?’

“And even if something goes wrong, I can’t avoid responsibility for my son.”

“Ah…”

Wei Jeonghan closed his eyes:

“If I didn’t raise my son well, it’s my fault. If it’s already too late to guide him, I must trust him and wait for him.”

Gong Mujin nodded involuntarily:

‘Wei Sanho and Wei Yanho didn’t appear by chance.’

Those beliefs and philosophies allowed those people to grow.

He thought that if he were Wei Yanho’s father, he would have ruined his talent by trying to correct his laziness.

‘There’s definitely a lot to learn from him.’

Sometimes, Wei Jeonghan seemed different from the Sword of the Righteous Hero, but his attitude made him respectable.

Although their paths are different…

At that moment, the door was kicked open.

“Husband!”

“Hmm?”

Han Sangah entered and tilted her head:

“What is this? The administrator sent me a letter asking if it was enough to sell the fields and buildings of our house…”

“……”

Everyone looked at Wei Jeonghan.

“Khuh khum…”

Wei Jeonghan coughed and nodded:

“Answer him yes, proceed.”

“Okay.”

Han Sangah, who looked at Wei Jeonghan suspiciously, closed the door.

*Thud*.

Although it had been a while since the door closed, no one spoke. Wei Jeonghan, uncomfortable, smiled:

“Just in case…”

The reaction was explosive.

“This is on another level!”

“That’s what one should learn!”

“If the letter arrived now, that means he made the arrangements before even entering Beijing. Wow, what foresight! His fame is not undeserved.”

Gong Mujin, with a sarcastic smile, muttered:

“And you were saying you trusted…? Pure nonsense.”

“Khuh khum.”

Wei Jeonghan coughed uncomfortably.

“At least one has to survive! Someone must live!”

“Who is denying that?!”

“You guys shouldn’t be laughing like that either. If something explodes, the first thing the soldiers will do is break in here. Start packing your things already!”

“Do you think…?”

Before Gong Mujin could even finish half of his objection, everyone ran out to pack hastily.

Seeing that scene, Wei Jeonghan clicked his tongue.

“What a lack of confidence in my own son…”

“You’re not the one who should be saying that.”

“…”
