While mocking Guo Jian, Xiao Chengjun was also slapping Emperor Hong Wen's face.
Emperor's face turned cold as he glanced disapprovingly at Guo Jian and said, "Step back!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Jian, filled with killing intent, passed by Xiao Chengjun and exited the hall.
Emperor Hong Wen then looked at Xiao Chengjun again.
"Guo Jian is someone I personally promoted and appointed. If you look down on him, does that mean you also look down on me?"
If it were someone else, they would probably immediately kneel and apologize, but Xiao Chengjun remained silent.
His silence was an implicit agreement.
Emperor Hong Wen gritted his teeth.
"Your cold and arrogant temperament is just like the late emperor. Fine, let me ask you, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the flooding in Fuzhou?"
Xiao Chengjun replied, "No."
…
Even more like the late emperor.
Always looking down on everyone, it's annoying!
