Free Web NovelChapter 554: Chapter 152: It’s Really Tough Out There! All Preparations Complete_4
These eunuchs used to all look to Wei Hongfang, the man known as Grandmaster.
Similarly.
Most eunuchs have a nature of currying favor with those in power and stepping on those who fall. When you’re thriving, they flatter you, but as soon as you decline, they’ll be the first to step on you.
Just like now.
Look at the once high-and-mighty Grandmaster.
The eunuch responsible for delivering the decree wore a very obvious false smile, and his tone was full of mocking sarcasm.
"Long time no see, Master Grandmaster, you truly have kept your grace!"
Though spoken with false sincerity.
The ridicule in his eyes was impossible to hide.
In ordinary times, such an obvious emotional change would be easily detected by Wei Hongfang.
But presently, Wei Hongfang was entirely immersed in the joy of being able to return to the palace, not noticing anything else. Without waiting for the eunuch to continue, he waved his hand dismissively and spoke.
"Enough nonsense, proceed with the decree!"
Wei Hongfang could hardly wait to receive the decree, thank the emperor, and return to the palace!
"..."
This is a first, seeing someone ask for a scolding.
Forget it!
The eunuch delivering the decree did not hesitate, cleared his throat, and unfurled the royal edict.
"By the mandate of heaven, the emperor decrees."
Though Yan Fuhai was no longer emperor but the Supreme Emperor.
Yan Fuhai wanted to issue an edict, and there was nothing even Yan Shuzhu could do about it.
Wei Hongfang still wore a joyful expression, but upon hearing the edict’s contents, his joy froze completely.
"Wei Hongfang, the Grandmaster, lacking talent and virtue, abandoning duties, neglecting management, failing the grace of the emperor, unforgivable. However, considering past sentiments, spared from death, demoted to commoner, all rewards rescinded, thus decreed!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Upon hearing those last two words.
Wei Hongfang could no longer contain himself and stood up, his face filled with rage.
"You dare to falsify the royal decree!"
Wei Hongfang refused to believe the edict was genuine.
The aura of the Grandmaster Realm was unconsciously emanating.
The eunuch delivering the decree, initially contemptuous, turned pale upon feeling Wei Hongfang’s aura. freewebnoveℓ.com
Even without the title of Grandmaster.
Wei Hongfang’s cultivation in the Grandmaster Realm was not fake.
He remained beyond the eunuchs’ ability to handle.
Even though he hadn’t acted in a long time, his true power had diminished, but dealing with these eunuchs was still an easy task.
"No, no! Lord Wei, how could a mere servant dare to falsify a royal decree? It’s a matter of life and death!"
With that. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The eunuch quickly handed the decree to him.
"If Lord Wei doesn’t believe, he may see for himself."
"The decree was written by the master himself!"
"..."
Wei Hongfang remained skeptical.
But upon seeing this, he paused for a moment, then directly took the decree from the eunuch and examined it closely.
"..."
Having been by Yan Fuhai’s side for so many years.
Wei Hongfang knew Yan Fuhai’s handwriting well.
The edict was genuine.
Wei Hongfang fell completely silent.
Why!
He couldn’t comprehend, truly couldn’t comprehend; he had followed Yan Fuhai loyally for so long, dutifully executing tasks, and could say that for Yan Fuhai, Wei Hongfang offended many Great Qian court officials.
But even so.
Yan Fuhai now unceremoniously kicked him aside, with no regard for old ties.
The decree was clutched in Wei Hongfang’s hand, gripped tightly.
His eyes turned crimson.
"Lord Wei!"
Seeing Wei Hongfang like this, the eunuch dared not utter any more sarcastic words.
If Wei Hongfang truly became provoked and took action.
It wouldn’t be something he could handle.
Perhaps even a threat to his life!
"I’m just following duty, the decree was written by the master, it’s not related to us mere servants!"
"..."
