“Even Mr. Lin Mo didn’t ask us for a single penny, he won the business battle entirely on his own dime.”
“Don’t you think that all along it was you who did Mr. Lin Mo wrong?”
“Bang!”
“Arnold, you are unbridled!”
Arnold’s calm voice was like a sharp knife that pierced fiercely into Jiadre’s heart.
His palm slapped the table hard and he got up and roared at Arnold.
Arnold dropped to one knee and bowed his head and said softly.
“I just feel that Your Majesty has lost his bearings somewhat and has messed up his heart.”
Arnold’s words put Gadre in a trance.
Yes, what was his own heart.
His original intention was to become the king of the Wanxiang Kingdom and lead the country to prosperity.
His own original intention towards Lin Mo after he had ascended to the throne with his help was.
You helped me to get glory and wealth, then I will exchange you for two swords.
And then look at what he is doing now, apart from calculating and using.
Now you really have to think about your friendship with Lin Mo.
Jiade Lie was like a drowning man who had just been fished out of the water.
He sat limply on his throne.
“Arnold, go and contact the Chinese emba*sy and tell them that I wish to have a chat with the Grand Elder of the Martial Union of China, Xuan Yuan Ming.”
Arnold looked at Gadre above him and a heartfelt smile appeared on top of his good-looking cheeks.
He randomly disappeared into a streak of shadow and headed in the direction of the emba*sy.
“Someone, go and invite the Minister of Rites over!”
As if something had occurred to him, Gadrei, who was on top of the throne, picked up the intercom on his desk and spoke.
Soon, a Minister of Rites with white hair and a white beard came in trembling.
“The Minister of Rites is old, come and give him a seat.”
This Minister of Rites had served in the Ministry of Rites when Jiayuan I had just ascended the throne.
Now decades had pa*sed, and he was still serving in the Ministry of Rites, but he was already dying of old age.
“I bow in gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness.”
Up and down the entire court this Minister of Rites could be said to be the person who was least afraid of Jia De Lie.
It was not because he was relatively old.
As far as Jia De Lie was concerned, even if he was old enough to make a mistake, he would still stay honestly.
It was because he was a fair and clean man, and the Ministry of Rites had a lot of money to spend every year.
But this minister was so diligent and frugal that the Ministry of Rites became a place with the least amount of oil and water.
“Minister of Rites, I would like to prepare a welcome ceremony at the gates of the royal city.”
“I wonder what level of welcome Your Majesty needs, friends from neighbouring countries or meritorious members of the kingdom.”
These two kinds of welcome ceremonies were the most common on weekdays, and each one came down to a few hundred thousand dollars.
“As long as it would take to set up for the widow’s personal visit.”
“Your Majesty you said …… cough cough, Your Majesty what did you say?”
Faced with the surprised gaze of the Minister of Rites, Gadre continued.
“The red carpet would need to be at least a hundred meters and with one Wanxiang soldier at ten paces, and all ministers would have to come with me.”
“And the army’s escort will also need to be lined up from the city gates to the palace at once.”
The Minister of Rites was shaken wildly inwardly and spoke in disbelief.
“Your Majesty, one soldier arriving at the palace at ten paces, the entire army of the royal city will have to attend, and your safety will then be at stake.”
“No matter, as long as he comes, no one in this world can hurt me.”
“Right, the ceremonial flowers, the royal musical instrument troupe, the various garlands, all of these cannot be missing.”
The Minister of Rites silently gulped, he had been sitting in this position for forty to fifty years.
So far he had never planned such a grand greeting ceremony, and who exactly was His Majesty welcoming.
“Your Majesty, these down may take tens of millions of dollars to complete.”
“No matter, the last thing the widow needs is something like money.”
