Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1295
Chapter 1295 Night Banquet Storm (2)
When Jiang Feng and East Emperor Jue arrived on the third floor of the House of Shaosi, the lights on the entire third floor suddenly lit up.
At the end of the corridor on the third floor, a door was open and a gentle voice came from inside, “I’m here. Come over.”
East Emperor Jue glanced at Jiang Feng and took the lead. Jiang Feng followed closely behind him.
When East Emperor Jue arrived outside East Emperor Linyi’s room door, he stopped and took a deep breath before pushing open the door and entering.
The room that East Emperor Linyi was in should be a study room. After Dong Huang Jue pushed open the door, the first thing Jiang Feng saw was a dazzling room full of books.
Jiang Feng accompanied Dong Huang Jue into the room. On a bench under a row of bookshelves, Jiang Feng saw East Emperor Linyi again.
Because of the brightness of the lights, Jiang Feng wanted to see East Emperor Linyi more clearly this time.
Although East Emperor Linyi’s temperament was rather refined at first glance, Jiang Feng could feel an indescribable sense of majesty in East Emperor Linyi’s eyes.
This kind of dignity was something that only those who had held power for a long time and were confident that they could control everything would have.
Jiang Feng had also felt the same feeling in Jiang Xuanhong’s body in the past, but the feeling in Jiang Xuanhong’s body was even more intense.
When Dong Huang Jue saw East Emperor Linyi, he immediately saluted him and said, “My child greets father.”
Jiang Feng followed closely behind Dong Huang Jue and bowed, “Greetings, Lord Shao Si Ming.”
Although Jiang Feng lowered his head, he could still feel East Emperor Linyi’s gaze wandering around him. Not long after, East Emperor Linyi said, “Sit down.”
Jiang Feng and Dong Huangyue both looked up at East Emperor Linyi. At this moment, East Emperor Linyi was pointing to the seat on the right, signaling for Jiang Feng and Dong Huangyue to sit down.
After waiting for Jiang Feng and Dong Huang Jue to sit down, East Emperor Linyi took the initiative to ask, “Tell me, Jue’er, why did you suddenly come looking for me?”
When Dong Huang Jue heard East Emperor Linyi’s question, he couldn’t help but look at Jiang Feng subconsciously. Jiang Feng nodded slightly to Dong Huang Jue as a sign of encouragement.
In fact, Jiang Feng had already assumed from East Emperor Linyi’s initiative to ask Dong Huangjue what he was looking for, that East Emperor Linyi really loved Dong Huangjue very much. Otherwise, East Emperor Linyi would never ask questions, and he might not even give Dong Huangyue any chance to say it out loud.
After receiving Jiang Feng’s encouragement, East Emperor Jue straightened his back and looked at East Emperor Lin steadily, “Father, I want to apply for a ban on gambling with you, and I’m going to carry out the ban myself.”
“Gambling ban?” After a moment of doubt, a trace of contemplation flashed through East Emperor Linyi’s eyes. Not long after, Jiang Feng keenly noticed a faint smile on East Emperor Linyi’s lips.
Dong Huanglin said, “Tell me about your specific plan.”
Dong Huang Jue was delighted when he heard that East Emperor Linyi wanted to hear his specific plan. He nodded heavily and began to explain to East Emperor Linyi the entire “Gambling Prohibition Order” plan that Jiang Feng had taught him.
East Emperor Linyi listened very carefully. During Dong Huangyue’s explanation of the whole plan, he took the initiative to ask a few questions that he was more concerned about.
The more Dong Huangyue talked about the ban, the more excited he became. At the end of the conversation, he began to gesture with both of his hands.
In the end, East Emperor Linyi patiently listened to Dong Huangyue finish the whole plan. He did not rush to reply whether Dong Huangyue supported Dong Huangyue’s plan to ban gambling. Instead, he first asked Dong Huangyue, “Jue’er, did you come up with this plan yourself?”
East Emperor Jue was stunned for a moment. He secretly glanced at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng said, “It was Seventh Young Master’s idea. I helped to come up with some ideas together.”
“Yes, Father. This is my sworn brother. His name is Jiang Feng.”
“Jiang Feng?” East Emperor Linyi pondered for a moment before nodding his head. He stood up and said, “Come with me to the banquet.”
“Father, you haven’t said anything about the ban on gambling. Do you agree or disagree?” East Emperor Jue was a little anxious.
Jiang Feng gently touched East Emperor Jue with his knee. He looked at East Emperor Jue and shook his head. Just as Dong Huangyue was wondering, East Emperor Linyi laughed and said, “Jue’er, why are you in such a hurry? What’s the use of Father agreeing to you now? I’ll take you to the banquet to publicly announce that you will be in charge of the ban on gambling. Go, carry Father’s Young Master’s Seal and follow Father to the banquet.”
“Yes! I obey!” Dong Huangyue nodded excitedly.
The banquet in the Hundred Flourishing House of the Shaosi Manor did not wait for East Emperor Linyi. East Emperor Jue held the Shaosi Mingda Seal and followed behind East Emperor Linyi with Jiang Feng. When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall together, the guards guarding the entrance immediately shouted loudly, “Lord Shaosi has arrived!”
Kuang dong!
The door of the banquet hall was pushed open by two guards with sabers. The originally noisy banquet hall instantly became completely silent.
East Emperor Linyi took the lead and brought Dong Huangyue and Jiang Feng into the banquet hall. At this moment, all the guests in the banquet hall were on the left and right, and there was a path in the middle for East Emperor Linyi and the others to walk on.
East Emperor Linyi walked all the way to the high platform right in front of the banquet hall. He stood in front of the tables and chairs on the high platform and turned around to sweep everyone a glance.
At this moment, all the guests saluted together as if they had received a signal. They shouted in unison, “Greetings, Your Excellency!”
“No need for courtesy.” East Emperor Linyi raised his hands.
“Thank you, Sir.”
“Today is the birthday of Nangong Siye’s youngest daughter, Nangong Xingling. Let me first wish you a happy birthday. I have not prepared any special gifts. I hope you like the Nine Laureates Crown.”
As soon as East Emperor Linyi finished speaking, a few waiters walked out from the corridor connecting the banquet hall and the side hall with a wooden plate in their hands.
The wooden plate was a laurel crown made of purple glow augite. Even though the lights in the banquet hall were as bright as day, the dazzling light emitted by the laurel crown was already dazzling.
Nangong Xingling’s face turned red with excitement when she saw the Nine Laureates Crown. She bent down slightly and waited for the waiter to put the crown on her head.
After putting it on, Nangong Xingling immediately bowed to East Emperor Linyi and said, “Xingling thanks the Young Priestess.”
“You’re welcome. Everyone is one of us.” East Emperor Linyi waved his hand and suddenly changed the topic, “Since I’m so happy today, I’ll announce one more thing that I’ve been planning for a long time.”
As soon as East Emperor Linyi said those words, everyone in the banquet hall seemed to stop breathing, for most people were wondering if East Emperor Linyi was going to publicly announce his successor at the banquet.
However, at this moment, East Emperor Linyi said, “In recent years, almost all the cities under Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor’s rule have had a tendency to gamble, and the gambling methods, venues, and betting codes are different.”
As a result of indulging in gambling, many families are bankrupt and ruined. There were even some who took the risk of burning, killing, looting, and everything else.
In view of this, this Junior Secretary has decided to implement the Gambling Prohibition Order!
My son Dong Huangyue is fully responsible for the implementation of the Gambling Prohibition Order. As for the specific terms of the Gambling Prohibition Order, everything will be subject to the final decree issued by Dong Huangyue.
“In addition, this Junior Division has decided to confer Jiang Feng the title of Superintendent of the Gambling Prohibition Division. The entire Gambling Prohibition Division can set up an independent administrative organization of 500 people, and Jiang Feng will be responsible for the specific matters.”
After East Emperor Linyi finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell into silence.
This deathly silence was like a pool of stagnant water.
Shock! Unexpected! Surprise! Shock …
Everyone in the banquet hall didn’t know what kind of words to use to describe their emotions at this moment. This sudden ban on gambling wasn’t the main point. The focus is on East Emperor Linyi’s strong support for Dong Huangyue.
“The banning of gambling is the sole responsibility of Dong Huangyue. As for the specific terms of the banning of gambling, everything is subject to the final decree issued by Dong Huangyue.”
Didn’t this mean that the specifics of the entire ban were all decided by East Emperor Jue?
Some politically sensitive people have already sensed enormous benefits from the ban, as well as a huge transfer of power. It was obvious that East Emperor Linyi had created a powerful windbreak for East Emperor Jue. Whether or not East Emperor Jue could fly in the wind at this windbreak depended on East Emperor Jue’s own ability.
Apart from Dong Huangyue, the most surprised person on the scene was Jiang Feng.
Of course, Jiang Feng was also stunned.
East Emperor Linyi hadn’t said more than five words to him since the beginning. He hadn’t even asked him who he was, where he came from, his background, or his past experience.
East Emperor Linyi directly handed over the “Gambling Prohibition Division” to him, and even appointed him as a supervisor.
It should be noted that there was no difference between “big” and “small” in the position of “Supervisor”. In other words, Jiang Feng was in charge of the entire “Gambling Control Division”. This power was not small.
Moreover, the Gambling Control Division was an independent administrative organization with a population of five hundred.
Attention, focus! The most important term here is “independent administration”.
This meant that Jiang Feng didn’t have to obey anyone except East Emperor Linyi and Dong Huangyue. In the entire Eastern Emperor Shaosi’s Manor, such a situation was a privilege that only two Lords of Si Ye could have. Now that it was obtained by an unknown person, how could one not be shocked?
Just as the guests were shocked, East Emperor Linyi had already sat on his chair and personally wrote down the contents of the ban on gambling that he had just announced verbally.
After Dong Huang Lin finished writing, he took the Young Priestess Mandate Seal from Dong Huang Jue’s hand and placed it on the silk cloth. He handed the silk cloth and the Young Priestess Mandate Seal over to Dong Huang Jue.
Dong Huangyue was stunned for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Father, this seal …”
“Keep it for Father first. After you have made all the details of the ban on gambling, you can seal this seal before returning it to Father.”
“Yes, I understand.” East Emperor Jue looked deeply at East Emperor Linyi, his eyes filled with emotion.
East Emperor Linyi smiled at East Emperor Jue and leaned back in his chair.
At this moment, Dong Huanglin raised the glass on the table and said, “Alright, we have finished what we should say. Let’s all drink a toast!”
After East Emperor Linyi finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his cup, and the guests also drank all the wine in his cup.
However, not long after East Emperor Linyi put down his glass, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood!
