Your Majesty, I Am Just an Idler

Everyone in the capital knew that Su Yan was the most useless idler around Emperor Jinglong. At the age of eighteen, when he was awarded the first prize, he should have paraded around the streets with hairpins and taught the country. However, Emperor Jinglong issued a decree and made him an unofficial and unworthy attendant, becoming the most idle person in the imperial study. He did not receive a salary, discuss government affairs, or enter officialdom. He just spent his days copying books in the imperial study and studying ink for the emperor. Even the censor didn't bother to impeach him, thinking that impeaching an idle person would dishonor his own pen. But no one knows: In the year when Hu Bu was crying about poverty, he went through the old files in the middle of the night. The next day, he "accidentally" mentioned that "there seems to be an unsettled account during the reign of the late Emperor" and recovered 30 million taels. On the night of the emergency in the north, he looked at the map for two hours. At dawn, the emperor issued three secret orders in a row, and the enemy troops retreated without a fight. Even every memorial written by the emperor criticizing the emperor had two sentences that he casually mentioned while studying the ink. No one knows that the rusty old sword at the bottom of his box caused three sects in the world to disappear overnight ten years ago. And the owner of that sword has long seen through the sinister nature of people's hearts, and just wants to be a wealthy and idle man.
