Chapter 123: Simply Unbearable!

Emperor: “. . .”

What is this brat talking about?

A gold token equivalent to the emperor’s presence is merely a reward for the foot-pedaled threshing machine?

He meant it was a reward for all three farming tools!

Does he even know how significant the reward of the emperor’s presence gold token is?

It can mobilize ten thousand troops from various regions when necessary!

He only gave out such a gold token because of Old Master Tang and Old Master Kong.

The emperor looked at him deeply. Could it be that this brat is taking this opportunity to swindle his treasure?

Since he was a child, he has been the best at deceiving his treasure!

However, he is very poor now, with too many people to support.

He can’t directly use the silver from the national treasury to support them.

The emperor said in annoyance, “Aren’t those three farming tools invented by the same person? One reward is enough!”

Chu Tiankuo glanced at the emperor. It seems that Old Master Kong also has contact with the emperor.

Otherwise, how would Father Emperor know that it was invented by one person? He doesn’t seem to have said it!

Didn’t Old Master Kong resign from his official position because of what happened to Maternal Grandfather’s family and become disillusioned with Father Emperor?

Chu Tiankuo said with divided attention, “Father Emperor is wise, indeed it is the same person, but the other party’s contribution cannot be overlooked. Wouldn’t this make talented individuals feel disheartened? After all, she could have presented them one by one and received three rewards, but she didn’t do so. Father Emperor, how can you be so stingy as the ruler? Father Emperor has taught me since childhood to know people and make good use of their talents, to reward when it’s due, and to punish when it’s deserved. Was that wrong?”

Emperor: “. . .”

He is stingy?

Infuriating!

When was he ever stingy?

Has he not given the other party a reward now?

Chu Tiankuo glanced at him and said bluntly, “Aren’t there many precious horses in the imperial stables? Father Emperor doesn’t ride those horses often, why not reward one to the other party? Otherwise, keeping them there without riding them is a waste.”

Emperor: Hehe.

Those precious horses are a waste?

He uses those precious horses to breed fine breeds!

He dares to ask!

But at this moment, he seemed to see the Crown Prince in his youth, much more lively.

In front of the world, this brat is warm and gentle, graceful and elegant, only he knows that he is cunning and scheming.

“You can go and choose an old horse!” Anyway, some old horses are about to stop giving birth to foals.

Chu Tiankuo nodded, “I thank Father Emperor on her behalf! Finally, there is the reward for the winnowing fan. Father Emperor, why not reward her with some precious medicinal herbs? The other party has been poisoned by a strange poison for a long time. If it’s not resolved, I’m afraid her life will be in danger!” Chu Tiankuo said while subtly observing the emperor’s expression.

The emperor was startled, “What did you say? What kind of poison?”

How could she be poisoned?

Could it be that she was discovered by people from the enemy country?

How could someone like this, who has finally emerged, be destined to have a short life?!

Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy their Chu Kingdom?

“Ancient snake venom, an extremely cold poison. This poison is difficult to endure in winter. It’s best to soak in warm soup frequently during winter to prolong life. However, the antidote is extremely rare. I want to detoxify her, but I haven’t found all the medicinal herbs yet.”

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately said, “What medicinal herbs does she need? You… you can go to the Imperial Hospital to find them. If it’s not enough, I will bestow upon her another hot spring estate.”

He happens to have a hot spring estate in Futai County.

Should he find a reliable imperial physician to examine her?

Chu Tiankuo glanced at the emperor. It seems that Father Emperor also values her very much, which is what he is happy to see.

Chu Tiankuo: “Father Emperor is wise! Miss Shen has benefited the people and made great contributions. We must do our best to protect her health throughout her life.”

The emperor nodded and glanced at Chu Tiankuo, “I have given rewards to these two people, Kuo’er, are you satisfied?”

Chu Tiankuo said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter if I am satisfied, it’s just that we can’t let talented individuals feel disheartened!”

Chu Tiankuo’s words had a deeper meaning, and the emperor was choked.

✿✿✿

This brat! Forget it, he won’t argue with him!

Chu Tiankuo continued, “Moreover, Father Emperor misunderstood, it is one person, not two. The person who cultivated the high-yielding grain seeds and the person who invented the farming tools are the same person, it is Miss Shen, who invented the oil-saving lamp.”

“What did you say?” The emperor jumped up!

One person?

The person who cultivated the high-yielding grain seeds and the person who invented the farming tools are actually the same person?

So this brat was actually asking for a marquis title for a woman just now?

Is he crazy?

The emperor suddenly realized that he had not set a precedent?

Bestowing a marquis title on a woman, he has simply created a historical precedent!

Looking at the four kingdoms, where is there a woman who has been granted the title of marquis?!

This is simply absurd!

He feels like he has been dug into a deep pit by his son!

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Chu Tiankuo felt delighted, “Father Emperor seems to be very surprised?”

Surprised my ass!

Frightened is more like it!

The emperor waved his hand and shook his head, “It’s not right to bestow a marquis title on her. Shouldn’t this marquis title be changed to princess? After all, she is a woman. Our dynasty has never had a woman as a marquis! This marquis title is an official position, hereditary and irreplaceable!”

Chu Tiankuo: “A promise made is a debt unpaid, it’s not a good thing to change orders frequently! Doesn’t Father Emperor think it’s better to grant her the title of Marquis of World Peace? This way, no one will be able to guess who cultivated the high-yielding grain seeds?! Anyway, the identity won’t be announced, who will know who this marquis is?”

Emperor: “. . .”

It makes so much sense, he can’t even refute it!

The emperor looked at him deeply. Could it be that this brat has taken a fancy to her?

So he is trying his best to take his father’s things to please her?

People always say daughters are closer to their mothers!

Does he know that he is a man?

And the kind who doesn’t have to worry about finding a wife?

Chu Tiankuo continued, “Father Emperor, it’s also good if you want to bestow the title of princess, she can be both a marquis and a princess! The laws of Chu do not stipulate that a person cannot have both a noble title and an honorary title!”

Emperor: “. . .”

Is he daydreaming?

Bestowing a noble title is already a great honor that can only be granted for great merit!

And then grant her the title of princess?

The memorials from all the civil and military officials protesting could pile up like a mountain!

The emperor used his son’s spear to attack his son’s shield, “Wouldn’t this expose the identity of Marquis Shen as a woman?”

He deliberately emphasized the words Marquis Shen!

Chu Tiankuo nodded upon hearing this, and he compromised, “Father Emperor is wise, but no one knows they are the same person, right? If Father Emperor thinks it’s not appropriate to bestow the title of princess on her again! Miss Shen has a younger sister, you can bestow the title of princess on Miss Shen’s younger sister! This is called creating a diversion! When Miss Shen makes another invention in the future, you can bestow the title of princess on her.”

Chu Tiankuo knows that there is another sextant being verified. Once this thing comes out, it will be another invention that will shock the four kingdoms!

At that time, her official position will be promoted from marquis to duke, and her honorary title will be princess!

Perfect!

Emperor: “. . .”

Simply unbearable!

He suddenly feels that the pit dug by his son is not deep, but bottomless!

This is not the way to please a wife!

Is he even starting to build a good relationship with her family?

The emperor waved his hand, “The matter of the reward is settled! That’s enough, no more rewards! You may leave!”

He doesn’t want to see him now!
