The Ugly Empress by Yun Guo Shi Fei / 丑娘娘 by 云

Chapter 73, vol 2 Chapter 27: Words from the heart

Teng Yun and Teng Xin never thought that Xue Jun Liang would come over. Only two people could guess that the capital city was covered with the Xue State “S" spy, who knew what he was doing, and he walked into the border of the Imperial capital suburb.

Xue Jun Liang came in. He was wearing casual clothes, which was not very eye-catching. He sat down smoothly. Teng Xin and Teng Yun got up to salute.

Xue Jun Liang frowned when he sat down. Maybe he thought the rattan chair was too hard. Then he asked the two people, “Sit down, you don't have to be polite. We are not in the palace."

He said so, but there were only two cane chairs. Jiang Yu quickly went to find another one and put it on his hand.

Teng Yun and Teng Xin thanked him and sat down.

Xue Jun Liang didn't mention what happened just now. He turned to Teng Yun and said, “How did you come back so early?"

Teng Yun paused for a moment, and didn't know whether to say it now or not. He just said: “There are some things, this Imperial court official wanted to report back to the Imperial capital."

"Um."

Xue Jun Liang nodded, then thought of something, and said, “By the way, I just said Teng Xin’s recommendation......"

As he said, Teng Xin's back was obviously straightened and looked a little nervous.

Xue Jun Liang said: “Teng Xin, Zhen has heard of you a long time ago. You are the crown prince, with noble and distinguished status..."

Teng Xin quickly said: “I dare not to sin against the Imperial court. I was born without the blessing of the crown prince. I only hope I can fight the enemy and be a pawn."

Xue Jun Liang chuckled in his heart. This Teng Xin seemed very modest. He knew his status and energy. If Emperor Teng didn't make him miserable, he would not be so impetuous.

Xue Jun Liang said with a smile: “Don't worry. Zhen doesn't mean anything else. It's just to praise your past Zhen heard that you are calm and loyal, and you are not arrogant and impetuous in using the troops. Hou Yang also told me that he has lost a lot of brain fighting with you. There is no such talent general around Zhen. Since the Marquis of Tengnan would like to recommend you, which means that your conduct is no problem, and your achievements are obvious to all, then Zhen has no reason not to reuse you."

As he said, he got up, and Teng Yun and Teng Xin had to follow him. Xue Jun Liang then said, “Some people say that Zhen is a tyrant. They say that Zhen only knows how to fight and is cruel. But compared with Emperor Teng, Zhen is far from that! At the very least, even though there is revenge, Zhen will not remember it. If you are a talent, you will definitely be put into use. Even the refugees, in Zhen’s eyes, are the same as the crown prince. They are also the sons of Zhen... "

Xue Jun Liang turned around and smiled at Teng Yun and Teng Xin and said, “Maybe it's time for you. Emperor Xue is glib. In the end, some of his words are true and some of them are false In fact, Zhen can tell anyone that there are few words spoken by Zhen from the bottom of his heart, but every word spoken by Zhen is a word of golden promise and no word of regret!"

Teng Yun was stunned for a moment. Although Xue Jun Liang didn't wear the snake-skin robes or the crown tags, his momentum was still the one of an emperor, which could not be questioned by others.

He is right. Compared with Emperor Teng, Xue Jun Liang is a very enlightened and benevolent emperor. He didn't kill Emperor Teng, whether he wanted to or not. He just demoted Emperor Teng to a common person, and he didn't kill Teng Xin, Teng Shang or even himself. He also never touched Xue Yu.
