It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 203

In the imperial city, a new batch of memorials sent to the palace were placed in front of Wu Dande's desk.

He reached out and took the book on top, opened it, and after a few moments of silence, threw it to the ground. He picked up another book, looked at it for a few seconds, and threw it to the ground again. Then he swept everything on the table to the ground.

The maids and eunuchs who were playing with the little emperor behind the screen heard the noise of smashing and looting coming from Prime Minister Wu. After looking at each other, they immediately fell silent.

The little emperor also noticed the unusual atmosphere. He tightly grasped the sleeve of the maid beside him, pursed his lips and said nothing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Shande strode out of the hall, and the people behind the screen dared to breathe heavily.

The news in the palace soon reached the ears of Eunuch Cao. He paced around the room a few times, shaking his sleeves, and then frowned and said worriedly to the officials in the room:

"Prime Minister Wu's temper is getting worse. What can we do? Your Majesty is still young and cannot do without Prime Minister Wu's assistance. I'm afraid he will be unable to sleep or eat this time."

Another official present echoed with a gloomy face, "Yes, yes, what can we do? If I had known it would incur Prime Minister Wu's wrath, I wouldn't have put the memorial... at the top."

The other officials only thought that these two people were pretentious. Everyone present knew why Prime Minister Wu had such a bad temper and what the contents of the two memorials were.

Actually, they had tacitly agreed to put the memorial on the top, and the effect achieved was satisfactory... They exchanged glances, forcing down the smiles on their lips, their faces distorted for a moment.

Wu Dande got on a carriage and drove out of the imperial city quickly. He soon broke into a mansion where the retired imperial physician Qiao Pu lived.

When Qiao Pu saw that Wu Shande's face was red and swollen, he immediately took him to the pharmacy and took out a silver needle to clear the swelling for him.

After the redness and swelling subsided a little, Qiao Pu emphasized seriously, "Prime Minister Wu, I have warned you many times before, and I will say it again today. You must control your temper.

Although the erysipelas in your body is not as severe as that of the previous emperor, the excessive surge of qi and blood will only penetrate into your brain and internal organs faster.

The silver needles can still relieve the pain somewhat now, but then all medicine will be useless.”

Wu Dande lay on the bed without saying a word, but the anger in his heart began to surge again.

He also knew that he had to control his temper, but Cai Yuanqi of Donghu Prefecture wanted to exchange Concubine Wu for her two children who were held hostage in the capital, and Tang Jian of Nanjiang Prefecture and Wang Wenhuan of Min Prefecture wanted to exchange Wu Fusui for their own nephews and nephews detained in the capital and 10,000 shi of grain.

How could he not be angry and anxious?

There were a total of eleven prefectures in the Northern Jin Dynasty. Excluding the Beiting Hufu and Guyuan prefectures that were against him, the Nanqi prefecture and Chang'an prefecture that ignored him, and the Heding prefecture that could hardly protect itself, he was able to balance and win over only half of them.

But in just a few days, Han Ping of Zhongyuan Prefecture rebelled, and Donghu Prefecture, Nanjiang Prefecture and Min Prefecture were also ready to move. He didn't believe that Changning Prefecture would not follow suit.

What Wu Dande wanted to do was to be second only to one person in the entire Northern Jin Dynasty, rather than being the head of the family trapped in the small imperial city.

Qiao Pucai washed his hands in the basin and when he looked up, he saw in the bronze mirror that not only was Wu Shande's head and face red and swollen again, but even his naked upper body had many red spots on its skin.

Qiao Pu immediately ran to the bed in two steps, quickly removed the silver needles that were pushed out or broken from Wu Dande's body, and then covered the back of his neck with a wet and cold handkerchief.

"Can Wu Xiang calm down on his own?"
