Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 350

**Chapter 350: The Loafer Travels the World (5)**

“I’m worried.”

“I want to escape.”

“…Amitabha Buddha.”

Everyone, dressed in clean clothes, couldn’t hide their anxiety.

“This is madness.”

“Of course, it’s madness. But it’s His Majesty who wants to do it, shouldn’t we be careful with our words?”

Everyone closed their mouths at Peng Dogeuk’s words.

Of course, it was madness. But how could they stop His Majesty?

“Won’t anything bad happen?”

“Wouldn’t it be stranger if nothing bad happened?”

“If I had to bet, I’d bet my entire fortune that something bad will happen.”

“What fortune does a beggar have?”

“That’s why I’m betting it. Hahahaha.”

When everyone was anxious, Wei Sanho spoke:

“Do you think he’ll cause trouble in front of His Majesty the Emperor?”

Then, criticism rained down:

“How can you not know your brother? Are you really siblings?”

“There are people you can trust.”

“Take off those glasses. It’s not a woman, why are you so obsessed with your brother?”

“You must be happy.”

Wei Sanho hesitated at the criticism. Then, Wei Jeonghan intervened:

“Yeah, you’re too severe.”

“Father.”

“The truth is the truth.”

Wei Jeonghan clicked his tongue. They say even a porcupine loves its young, but Wei Yanho was worse than a porcupine.

Even for his parents, he was unbearable. What did Wei Sanho see in his brother?

Brotherly affection is good, but this was beyond normal.

“This is already a matter of faith. Like a Buddhist believes in Buddha.”

“Amitabha Buddha, that’s disrespectful. If Buddha loses his ego, he becomes an Asura. Buddhism is a path to enlightenment, not blind worship of Buddha.”

“Wow, it’s even worse than religion.”

Wei Sanho said resentfully:

“Yanho has only caused minor problems.”

“Minor?”

“If that’s minor, even if he killed someone, he’d be forgiven.”

“It seems you’ve become obsessed with martial arts and neglected your studies. The word usage is incorrect.”

“…….”

Wei Sanho stepped back in astonishment.

How had his brother reached this point?

“But the results were good, right?”

“Good?”

“The use of the word ‘good’ also seems incorrect.”

“That’s why people should study.”

Wei Sanho shrunk into a corner.

Those who had defeated Wei Sanho looked around anxiously:

“This is madness.”

Jangil couldn’t calm his heart.

It was majestic.

The court officials were standing on both sides of the white marble road, dressed in formal attire. It was an impressive sight. The long staircase and the imperial throne were taking his breath away.

The imperial throne was prepared for His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor would sit there…

‘Wei Yanho will walk this path.’

Wei Yanho would walk among the officials.

“My heart…”

Do you have to stick your hand in the fire to know it’s hot?

Don’t they know what will happen if they ask that of Wei Yanho?

‘It’ll be a disaster.’

Jangil covered his face.

Of course, Wei Yanho wouldn’t be executed. Although it was handled unofficially, he had saved the Emperor’s life, so they wouldn’t execute him.

But the situation was different in the martial world.

If Wei Yanho caused trouble, the people of the imperial palace would think that they shouldn’t interact with the warriors of the martial world, and it would take a lot of time and effort to change that opinion.

‘This is the most important moment…’

It wasn’t a joke.

Now that the ‘Demon Cult’ had been reactivated, cooperation with the imperial palace was more important than ever. If the opinion worsen…

‘No!’

Although the ‘Demon Cult’ wasn’t moving much, they had declared that they would regain their power. Then, they would surely invade ‘Central Plains’ soon. They should seek help to reduce the casualties.

But if Wei Yanho causes trouble?

“It’s absolutely unacceptable.”

“Huh?”

Jangil said urgently:

“Sir! Is there any way to prevent Yanho from coming here?”

“Wangya brought him, what can I do?”

“But…”

“…It will be alright.”

“Now is not the time to be so calm…”

At that moment, he heard a low voice:

“Don’t worry.”

“Huh?”

Jangil looked towards where the voice came from, and a middle-aged man was smiling kindly:

“Master Moon?”

Moon Yuhwan smiled and said:

“Young Master Wei isn’t that foolish. You underestimate him.”

“Wow…”

What was he saying?

Isn’t he foolish?

“He’s very intelligent. He wouldn’t do something that would harm him.”

“Huh?”

When he was about to refute, Jangil heard a loud voice:

“His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!”

Jangil bowed quickly.

The Emperor appeared on the staircase, looked around, and sat on the throne. Even after the Emperor sat down, the officials didn’t raise their heads.

“Rise.”

When the Emperor’s strong voice echoed, the officials looked at the Emperor with admiration. The Emperor, who had always been ill, was looking at them with an imposing presence.

“Everyone knows that there has been an incident recently.”

The officials lowered their heads.

Although it wouldn’t be recorded in history, everyone knew that there had been a conspiracy. The truth couldn’t be stopped. That’s why the Emperor didn’t try to hide it.

There were more conspiracies that weren’t recorded in history than those that were. That’s the position of the Emperor. Always threatened and attacked.

“There was a great crisis, but a hermit from the martial world helped His Majesty suppress the conspiracy. Although I cannot announce this to the world, I want to reward him in front of you.”

At that moment, Wei Jeonghan raised his head.

He thought there would be a ceremony, but he didn’t expect the Emperor to say that.

It meant that the Emperor valued Wei Yanho’s achievements.

‘The Emperor’s basic belief is that all civilians must sacrifice their lives for the Emperor.’

The most shocking phrase was “helped His Majesty”. It’s not something an Emperor would say.

Then, a eunuch who was next to the Emperor shouted:

“Wei Yanho, of the Guangdong clan, receives the order of His Majesty!”

Everyone looked back.

‘It has begun.’

‘Please.’

The gazes of the expectant officials and the anxious followers of Wei Jeonghan focused on a single place.

Wei Yanho appeared at the end of the white marble road.

“Wow.”

“What?”

“Oh?”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight of Wei Yanho.

People don’t easily change their impression. Even if someone is good, if the first impression is bad, it’s difficult to change that opinion.

And it’s difficult to change the bad impression that Wei Yanho has given.

But that was happening.

Wei Yanho, dressed in an impeccable white robe and wearing a hero’s headdress, wasn’t the Wei Yanho they knew.

Even the sword at his waist shone in white.

*Click*.

With each step, the others looked at him with admiration.

“Is he handsome?”

“Why is he handsome?”

Of course, Wei Yanho was the son of Wei Jeonghan and the brother of Wei Sanho. He was handsome.

But his vague gaze, his strange expression, and his dirty appearance hid his beauty. Wei Yanho, with his clean face and tidy clothes, was worthy of being the brother of Wei Sanho.

*Thump thump*.

Not only had his clothes and face changed.

Wei Yanho, who used to walk hunched over, was walking with his back straight and his head held high. One step at a time, without haste.

Wei Jeonghan had to think if he had ever seen his son walk like that.

“…Impressive.”

Jin Yeran murmured involuntarily.

But no one refuted her. Although they didn’t want to admit it, Wei Yanho looked like a warrior from an ancient story.

Like…

“…It’s like a painting.”

Wei Jeonghan murmured.

Wei Yanho, who ignored everyone, arrived at the end of the staircase, where the Emperor was looking at him.

He then knelt down and clasped his hands:

“Wei Yanho of Guangdong, greets His Majesty.”

Wei Jeonghan felt like he was going to cry.

The name of Guangdong resonated in the throne hall. His ancestors would have been happy to see this.

And Wei Yanho was showing proper etiquette.

Normally, Wei Yanho would complain that his back hurt.

Wei Jeonghan thought that Wei Yanho’s back looked unusually broad. The others were also speechless and looked at Wei Yanho.

“Listen, everyone.”

“Yes!”

“There was a conspiracy, but Wei Yanho of the Wei Family of Guangdong, who was doing his job, suppressed the conspiracy and resolved the crisis of the imperial palace. His achievement is incredible. I will promote the office of the censor to the office of supervision, and the left and right censors will lead the office of supervision. I will promote Juryun, who has led the office of the censor, to left censor. And I will appoint Wei Yanho, who has made the greatest contribution, as right censor.”

When the Emperor finished speaking, everyone looked at Wei Yanho.

‘Please!’

‘No!’

If it were the normal Wei Yanho, he would say, “Can’t I refuse?” or “What will I get if I do it?” They had to prevent him from saying that.

Finally, Wei Yanho, who was receiving everyone’s gazes, spoke slowly:

“I am grateful. As a subject of His Majesty, as a warrior of the martial world, and as a descendant of the Wei Family of Guangdong, I will not disappoint His Majesty’s expectations. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

When Wei Yanho’s voice, filled with spirit and justice, resonated, Wei Jeonghan opened his mouth involuntarily:

“……What did he eat?”

“…We’re wondering the same thing.”

Wei Yanho received everyone’s gazes.

Although it wasn’t recorded in history, it was a moment when the tense relationship between the martial world and the imperial palace was harmonized.
