She only wants to do infrastructure construction

"Your Majesty, the old minister has absolutely no selfish intentions. I hope that your Majesty will learn from you and understand the old minister's painstaking efforts."

"Your Majesty, please understand the painstaking efforts of the courtiers!"

"Your Majesty, please understand the painstaking efforts of the courtiers!"

The twelve generals behind Dong Dutong stood up and shouted together with Dong Dutong.

Emperor Wuhou looked at the generals in front of the hall quietly, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

At this time, the aura of the generals completely overwhelmed the civil servants, who just watched all this quietly from their seats.

Xiao Zong frowned. This was the first time that he and his father stood on a united front and looked at the ministers from his father's perspective.

He had never discovered before that there was such a great pressure behind his heroic and mighty father.

The three brothers all knew that their father was poisoned and could not walk, but the officials didn't know it. Seeing them making things difficult for his father, Xiao Zhe felt mixed feelings.

Especially when he saw the unidentified generals relentlessly forcing the palace, the officials rolled their eyes and refused to make a sound, Xiao Zhe seemed to see the nobles in the fiefdom.

Why aren't they like this!
Everyone is planning their own interests, all kinds of advantages of others.

However, everyone ignored one point. They were all citizens of Da Chu, and they were riding on the huge ship of Da Chu.

If you only care about your own interests, the ship will be riddled with holes one day, and you will be the one who sinks and perishes.

It was because the father had shielded them from the wind and rain and kept them safe for so long that they only had their own interests in their eyes and nothing else.

The more Xiao Zhe thought about it, the more powerless he became. After the powerlessness, there was endless anger. Finally, in the so-called righteous persuasion, his anger reached its peak. Xiao Zhe clenched his fists and was about to speak for his father. Heng held him down.

"Royal father said not to do anything tonight."

Xiao Zong paused and remembered his father's instructions before the banquet.

It seemed like he had anticipated what would happen tonight.

However, Xiao Zhe and Xiao Heng are sober and restrained, which does not mean that someone who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic will do so. At this time, Xiao Jiuxi supported his chin with one hand, looked lazily at Dong Dutong with a serious face, and complained.

"Is the days when the eastern capital ruled the border too boring? Whether we get married or not is in the way of you. You worry about the old man. His hands are so long and his hands are so wide."

Moreover, the royal father originally planned to make a marriage for him, and now Dongdutong is still acting as a monster. What if the royal father really pushes the boat to hold a talent show, what will he do?
He doesn't want to have three wives, four concubines, three palaces, six courtyards, three aunts and six wives.

Don't look at Xiao Jiuxi's words that are not stingy and still a bit of a beating, but these few simple words suddenly wiped away the solemnity created by the generals at the banquet like a thousand catties.

Once the momentum broke, the situation became a bit awkward.

Dong Dutong once again looked angrily at this guy who repeatedly sabotaged his good deeds.

"Fifth prince, court is not a joke, please take back your laughing and scolding for fooling around."

The implication is that the important officials of the court are discussing important matters, so what's the matter with you.

"Hey, if I remember correctly, this is a banquet for officials, right?" Xiao Jiuxi continued to raise his eyebrows.

When it comes to yelling at people, I have never been afraid of anyone.

Uh, except for Li Yewu.

Dongdu was sluggish, and his fingers were rattling. If Xiao Jiuxi was in his military tent, he would have been pressed down on the ground and hammered hard.

However, Xiao Jiuxi was Emperor Wuhou's favorite prince, and he had nothing to do with him.

This time, Emperor Wuhou was indeed the same as usual, he just gave Xiao Jiuxi a slight look.

Xiao Jiuxi shrugged: "I don't accept it anyway, brother Huang, it's up to you."

"My son doesn't think about marriage for the time being." Xiao Zhe finally couldn't help but speak out.

Xiao Heng glanced at the two people here, shook his head helplessly and said, "My son is already married, so he will not participate in the selection of the concubine."

It is rare for the three princes to share the same hatred and vent their anger through the same nostril.

This is something new for ministers.

At this moment, Xiao Xiannong looked at his elder brother and then at his grandfather, he murmured for a while, and finally said weakly: "My son... my son... I am still young and don't think about marriage for the time being."

Forget about the other princes, even Xiao Xiannong said that, Dong Dutong only felt his eyes go dark.

This stupid guy, does he know that he is so disregarding his old face and saying this in public in order to push him into the political center?
He has no advantage of age and no military achievements. The only chance to get in is to unite the forces of the ministers of the DPRK and China on the pretext of choosing a concubine.

Of course, this can be regarded as a relatively subtle way for him to force the ministers of the DPRK and China to stand in line.

Everyone knows that based on the current situation and developments, a candidate for the crown prince will be chosen soon.

If we look at the current pace, the fourth and fifth players may be the highest, but the eighth player will never have a chance.

The ministers of the court could wait and see slowly, but he couldn't wait, because he knew better than anyone else that Xiao Xiannong was not among Emperor Wuhou's candidates.

He was risking his life's honor to plan for his grandson, but his grandson was holding him back.

At this moment, Dong Dutong almost vomited blood.

However, Dongdu Tong's vomiting blood did not mean that Emperor Wuhou wanted to vomit blood. It seemed that Xiao Xiannong's words pleased him. Emperor Wuhou looked at the ministers indifferently.

"I don't know everyone, what's your opinion on Dong Dutong's words?"

The banquet was silent, no one even dared to look at Emperor Wuhou for fear of being called out.

Emperor Wuhou didn't intend to let them go, and said directly: "What do you think of Liu Aiqing?"

Mr. Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was shaken when he was named, and he wailed in his heart, but still had a faint smile on his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this... marriage matters must still be handled by the Ministry of Rites. I have some responsibility for the national treasury." I understand, I'm not very good at this..."

Master Liu is in charge of domestic finance and taxation, so he used this kick to kick the ball to the Ministry of Rites.

Mr. Luo, the Minister of Rites, was shot and stood up helplessly: "Although the Ministry of Rites is also in charge of royal marriages, we are only ordered to undertake weddings, etc., and cannot order the mandarin ducks for the prince like Yue Lao, so this kind of thing is still His Majesty has to decide."

"What do you think, Prime Minister Zuo?" Finally, Emperor Wuhou looked at the quietest person in the whole process.

The prime minister on the left cupped his hands and bowed slightly: "I think...the words of the matchmaker's order from the parents are indeed good, but it is also right for a man to aim everywhere and not to be tied down by the love of his children."

"Tsk... If you said it, you didn't say it. Are you practicing Tai Chi?" Emperor Wuhou was speechless.

The left prime minister sighed slightly: "I have never married myself, so how can I give life advice to the lords? If it is a test of knowledge, I will not give up. As for marriage... it is not the director of the minister."

Xiao Jiuxi couldn't help snickering when he heard this, the uncle is really good at pulling a thousand catties, he deserves to be his uncle.

Emperor Wuhou sneered at the minister's push and push without saying a word.

"Other civil servants chatter and generals don't say a word, but our Great Chu is just the opposite."
