Chapter 1001: Once You Fail, You Become a Fool
are you doing nowThe old man glared fiercely, "I brought her here. What do you have to say"Zong Bai was more rebellious than his older brother from a young age. Zong Yu carried too much burden on his...The great hero was glum at the victory banquet. Zongyu thought he hadn't attracted much attention, after all, he hadn't spoken much. In reality, most people's eyes were always on him. He was the focal point of the entire banquet.
Even the emperor couldn't help but speak up in the end.
"Zong Aiqing, are you dissatisfied with the rewards I have given you"
>
"You weren't even smiling during the entire party. Why"
This newly appointed Marquis of Wuding is excellent in every way. He came from a humble background, but he is skilled at leading troops and fighting wars. He has no connections or supporters in court. Besides relying on the emperor himself, no one dares to try and win him over.
This is truly a superb blade, both effective and easy to control.
This personality is really not very likable. As expected, she's a rough country bumpkin who doesn't know any manners.
The emperor's dissatisfaction with Zong Yu went deeper than that. Last time, he summoned him to the palace and said he would give him a marriage, to a princess! For an ordinary peasant from the countryside, being able to marry a princess was something he wouldn't even dare dream of.
Even though Beijiang is a vassal state of Daxia, it's still a country.
He flatly refused without batting an eyelid. There are hardly any people in the world who dare to refuse an emperor face-to-face, even Yuan Buyu wouldn't dare to reject the emperor's kindness so directly.
He was so angry that he wished he could have snatched the credit away at that moment and dragged the man out to be executed. However, Zongyu had been prepared for this and calmly proposed a deal to him before the emperor completely lost his temper.
The Emperor was greatly shocked after hearing Zong Yu's proposal. He never expected a peasant from the countryside to possess such wisdom. The Emperor finally understood why Zong Yu was able to defeat so many aristocratic children in the army and become the greatest hero of the Western Campaign.
Originally, his silent and honest appearance was just a facade. As for what was inside, the emperor couldn't figure it out at once.
But the deal was too tempting for the emperor to resist. He had originally planned to use marriage as a way to completely win over Zongyu for his own purposes. Now, it seemed that rejecting his proposal and forcing a marriage would be counterproductive and have the opposite effect.
The emperor only considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement, dismissing the idea of giving him in marriage.
Even though Zongyu's attitude and proposal were sincere, the emperor was still unhappy to be rejected. After all, he was the ruler of a country.
He was now at the celebratory banquet he had specially arranged for himself, drinking in silence. The emperor's face was obviously not happy.
Zhao Yun kept whispering reminders to Zong Yu, pointing out that the hem of his robes was being torn by him. "Doesn't Young Master see how displeased His Majesty is"
His tone was too cold and harsh, this is His Majesty.
Zong Yu lowered his head slightly.
"Your Majesty, I am grateful for all that you have arranged. I do not smile because that is simply my nature."
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, I have another request."
The emperor still didn't like the first part of the statement; it was obvious that it was concocted. But when he heard that Zong Yu actually needed something from him, the emperor perked up immediately.
Of course, how can a person not have desires
Wealth, fame and honor couldn't bring a smile to the face of this Marquis Wuding. The world is vast, and there's always something the Marquis Wuding desires.
"Oh What is troubling Duke Wuding so much Come, tell me, I'll listen first."
"Seeing that you have made great contributions to the country, I will grant your request as long as it is not too excessive."
The ministers below saw that the emperor cared so much for Marquis Wuding, and they reevaluated their opinion of this newly appointed marquis.
The last person Your Majesty valued so much was Prince Jing, but after all, he is a blood brother, and Prince Jing has the merit of assisting in ascending the throne. He has even greater credit for saving Your Majesty's life.
It seems like the situation in this dynasty is really about to change drastically.
Zhong Yu stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, my head was injured four years ago and I lost my previous memories. Your humble servant begs Your Majesty to allow the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau to examine me and see if they can find a way to help me recover my memory."
The emperor was taken aback. He thought Zongyu would make some earth-shattering demands, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter.
He went to such lengths, even kneeling down.
Zhuge Yun's brow was furrowed tightly, he was very anxious. Didn't Lord Gu tell Brother Yu about this
If he insists on trying to recover his memories, he could seriously injure his current body. To put it bluntly, there's a high chance he could become an idiot.
He's successful, that's good. If he fails, he'll lose everything, including his current fame and status.
After all, the emperor couldn't possibly let a fool be the Marquis of Wuding and give him so much military power.
But Zhao Yun, though anxious, dared not speak these words before the Emperor. To do so would only harm Yu'er and lead the Emperor to believe his condition was very unstable.
What's wrong with Yu Ge today, that he wants the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to help him recover his memory
To have no memories is to have lived all these years in peace.
"I never knew you had such an experience, Zong Aiqing. You are my Wuding Hou, a heavy minister in the court and the pillar of the country. Your health is naturally very important."
“Your request, I agree to. All imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau can be at your disposal. You need whatever medicinal herbs, just mention them, if the Imperial Medical Bureau doesn't have them, I will issue a proclamation to gather them from the common people.”
The ministers were in an uproar. His Majesty truly valued the Marquis of Wuding, didn't he Just because he suffered from amnesia, he went to such great lengths for him.
Yuan Buyu didn't say a word from beginning to end. This Zong Yu was no ordinary person. He suggested that Your Majesty bestow the Princess of Beijang upon him. Although it was just a small test, Yuan Buyu knew from the start that this marriage had an 80% chance of failing.
But he never expected that the cancellation of the marriage would be so simple and quick, Fang Jinshi didn't even show her face.
I intended to create some minor discord between them, but the plan died in its infancy.
Yuan Buyu's eyes stared intently at Zong Yu for a few seconds. This man, despite his humble origins, possessed an unusually steadfast mind that was both intriguing and opaque. Yuan Buyu knew he had to treat him with utmost caution.
Therefore, throughout the entire banquet, Yuan Buyu, the prime minister, didn't say a single word. Instead, he followed the crowd and congratulated Zong Yu on being bestowed the title of Marquis Wuding.
"Your Majesty, I humbly thank you."
The banquet ended with Zong Yu's amnesia incident. The emperor seemed to have lost the patience to deal with him any longer. He valued Zong Yu, but he never quite liked his aloof and unyielding personality. He couldn't stand looking at him, so he simply ended the celebratory feast.
The emperor left, and Zongyu followed closely behind.
He did not give the other ministers a chance to curry favor with him at all, and Zhao Yun had to exert himself for a long time just to catch up.
"Yu Ge, didn't you already agree with Master Gu to not try and retrieve your past memories"
"Don't you understand what regaining your memory means If you fail, you'll become... a fool."
The next two words, Zhao Yun subconsciously didn't say them out loud, Zong Yu helped him finish the sentence.
"I'll become a fool, I know."
"You know you still asked Your Majesty to have the Imperial Physician treat you."
Zhao Yun couldn't understand why he would risk becoming a fool to recover his memories.
The lack of past memories doesn't hinder him from being the Martial Duke.nk about getting married. You might not even be able to stay with your parents for the rest of your life.""Do you know that seducing a woman is punishable by imprisonment"Liu Qi's head furrowed in tho...
