Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 341

Chapter 341: The Loafer Receives a Reward (1)

“His body changed?”

“Yes.”

“Is that possible?”

“No.”

“Then what…”

“But it happened, what can we do?”

“……”

Saha, the Historian, closed his mouth like an oyster. Theory is meaningless in the face of reality. The idea that water flows downward is meaningless when you see water flowing upward.

“But…”

When Saha looked confused, Gwanggu Singae replied calmly:

“What would you do if you were there?”

“……”

“Would you get up and say, ‘This doesn’t make sense, should I verify if His Majesty is truly His Majesty?'”

“You would be executed.”

“Yes.”

Gwanggu Singae laughed:

“No one understood it, but everyone had to understand it. And… if you had been there, it would have been easier to understand. My legs were shaking from the audience with the emperor. Besides, we were arrested for a crime.”

“Yes.”

“But the emperor seemed to have some martial ability and shouted, if you were conscious, you wouldn’t be human. Even Confucius would have peed himself if he were there.”

“Did you pee yourself?”

“…A little.”

Gwanggu Singae said uncomfortably:

“But it didn’t smell.”

Gwanggu Singae stuck out his stomach when Saha looked at him with a serious expression:

“What? Why?”

“……”

“Just because it’s me, I just peed. If you had been there…”

“How disgusting!”

Gwanggu Singae laughed when Saha got angry:

“It was an incredible situation. You should have seen Nokgi’s pale face. When I’m sad, I remember his face and drink.”

“What happened then?”

“What?”

“Didn’t you say that the Radiant Martial Sovereign is to blame for all these matters?”

“It’s strange, right?”

“Huh?”

“You think so too. Since something inexplicable happened, it must be that guy’s fault.”

“…Yes.”

Gwanggu Singae smiled and took a bottle of alcohol:

“But why didn’t we realize it at that moment? It’s strange.”

***

If anyone knew Wei Yanho, they would think Wei Yanho did something.

It’s obvious. The emperor changed the day after the meeting with Wei Yanho, that wouldn’t have happened if Wei Yanho hadn’t done anything.

It’s strange that Nokgi didn’t realize it.

Yes.

I would have lost my mind too. If your whole plan is ruined, no one can stay calm.

It was a mistake to get involved with Wei Yanho.

Yes.

No one who tries to bother Wei Yanho ends up well. They end up being bothered by Wei Yanho.

That was Nokgi’s mistake.

…Huh?

Me?

Me…

***

“Did you say Wei Yanho?”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The emperor looked at Nokgi with a smile. Nokgi, who felt anxious, shouted:

“You can’t let a dog that bites people live. Kill him! How can we let go of someone who tried to assassinate His Highness the Prince?”

“Of course, trying to assassinate the prince is unforgivable.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“But it is true that that guy deserves to be punished.”

“…Huh?”

The emperor laughed as Nokgi’s eyes widened:

“You seem very surprised.”

Someone came out and responded to the emperor:

“Isn’t it because his clothes are tight? I told you to get new clothes made. Your clothes are going to tear.”

“Do you know how much an imperial robe costs? All that money comes from the people. We can’t waste a single penny.”

“Yesterday you said that the emperor must be majestic so that the people can live in peace, why are you changing your mind so quickly?”

“Khum, shut up.”

Nokgi clenched his fists when he saw the person who had come out to speak to the emperor:

“It looks like you’re going to hit him.”

“This is the throne room. If you want to die, go ahead. Do you think I’ll hit you?”

“Hehehe.”

Wei Yanho, who had arrived in front of the emperor, whistled and looked around:

“That guy?”

“Yanho? Brat!”

Yi Wangya and Wei Jeonghan were more surprised than Nokgi. Wei Yanho was looking around from a place that only the emperor could access.

“This is the view.”

“What view?”

“Hmm, I feel proud… but…”

Wei Yanho shook his head:

“I feel lonely.”

“Hahahaha.”

“I don’t think I should be here. I’ll leave.”

When Wei Yanho went down, Wei Jeonghan wanted to ask something, but he couldn’t.

Wei Yanho seemed calm, no matter what Wei Jeonghan felt.

‘What is going on?’

Nokgi couldn’t understand. It was surprising that the emperor had changed, but the emperor forgave Yi Wangya, and Wei Yanho appeared behind the emperor. How should he interpret this?

Nokgi, who felt danger, shouted:

“Your Majesty, Wei Yanho trampled on the authority of the imperial palace. If you let him go, the authority of the imperial palace will fall.”

“Yes, the authority of the imperial palace is important.”

The emperor looked at Nokgi:

“What punishment is appropriate for someone who deceived the imperial palace?”

“What else is there besides torture? He must be executed, and his entire family must be killed.”

“His entire family… what a pity.”

The emperor gestured:

“Bring the Crown Prince.”

“Yes!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince entered. The emperor asked seriously when the prince raised his head after greeting him:

“I have a question for you, answer honestly.”

“I won’t lie.”

“Who told you to go there? You had no reason to go there, someone must have convinced you. Who was it?”

The prince looked at the emperor.

“Crown Prince.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“I have ignored the Crown Prince because there was no other prince. I couldn’t get rid of the only prince, even if he had flaws. But now it’s different.”

The emperor’s voice resonated:

“I can have more children.”

“…”

Wei Yanho shrugged:

“That’s a little extreme.”

“It’s not false.”

“Yes… it seems you will have ten children.”

“If I want, I can have more. Yesterday I tried something…”

“Enough. The children might be listening.”

Even Wei Yanho was stopping someone.

“So forget that your position will protect you. If you don’t tell the truth, I won’t need help. I will kill you.”

The veins in the emperor’s fist swelled. The prince resigned himself. If he hit him, he could die.

“The head of the East Palace told me that I would go there and something fun would happen.”

“Captain of the Imperial Guard!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

“How is it possible that the prince’s guards were not there?”

“Impossible.”

“But it happened. If I must blame someone, it must be you. If you don’t convince me, I will kill you.”

“Your Majesty! The prince’s guards were attacked by someone.”

“Attacked?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Two of the four guards were resting, and the other two were attacked. We don’t know the exact situation because they are unconscious.”

“Attacked… who attacked the prince?”

“I tried to find out, but the eunuch Nokgi said it was Wei Yanho and his followers. So we arrested them.”

“Nokgi.”

“…Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

Nokgi’s expression changed.

He had a lot of evidence that they had attacked the guards. But Nokgi knew that the evidence no longer mattered.

Since the emperor trusted them, he wouldn’t listen to anything. As had happened before with Nokgi.

“Your Majesty.”

“Tell me.”

“…Do you really have to do this?”

The emperor and Nokgi looked at each other.

“I have sought power, but I have been a loyal dog to Your Majesty. I am not perfect, but I have done a lot. Do you really have to do this?”

“You are a fool.”

The emperor clicked his tongue:

“When have you been loyal to me? Wasn’t it for power? Then you shouldn’t ask me. Ask the power you were loyal to. Why did you abandon me?”

“……”

“Enough. Guards!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

“Execute Nokgi for conspiring to assassinate the Crown Prince and threatening imperial power. Arrest his followers and punish them according to their involvement.”

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

The imperial guards entered. Nokgi closed his eyes:

‘Everything was perfect…’

Where did it go wrong? He believed he would control the world when he arrived at the imperial palace.

Nothing lasts forever.

“Let me go!”

Nokgi pushed the imperial guards away and looked at Wei Yanho with cold eyes:

“It must be your work.”

Wei Yanho smiled when he saw Nokgi’s gaze:

“Wow, you can kill with your eyes.”

Nokgi was furious.
