Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 263 Retribution
Cui Chengxiu, who is holding the title of "reception officer for the envoys of the Liang Kingdom", does whatever he wants. If there is anyone he is afraid of, besides Emperor Chen, it is the envoy of the Liang Kingdom!

If Dong Cheng's crimson-robed officer takes advantage of the Liang envoy's influence, it might not be very difficult to defeat him!
It was thinking about this that Cui Chengxiu became afraid, so scared that he could hardly stand still.

Of course, no one had time to care about Cui Chengxiu's thoughts.

As soon as the Liang envoy arrived, he became a marginalized figure.

Facing Li Qingnu’s laughter, Zhu Xiuyuan also smiled and said:
"Your Highness, please rest assured. The master is very kind, and Shuyu and Madam are also very good. They often think of the princess, and they only hope that the princess and the prince can come back soon!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan had finished greeting Li Jiye's brother and sister respectively, Dong Cheng stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Dong Cheng, the governor of Jiangzhou, together with all my colleagues in the yamen, welcome King Qian of the Liang Kingdom and Princess Anle!"

What Dong Cheng said was of course a matter of course.

Seeing this, Li Jiye returned the favor and said, "Master Dong is interested."

Later, Li Linzhou, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Liu Wencai, the prince of Zhenze, also came forward, bowed their hands as a gift, and exchanged polite greetings.

But the two brothers, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu, were so proud that they ignored them. The scene was very embarrassing for a time.

Li Linzhou knew his identity, so he just smiled awkwardly and backed away without thinking.

But Liu Wencai was very depressed. No matter what he said, he was still the son of a prince.

As a result, everyone ignored him...

Liu Wencai once again fell into the sad mood of "being a marginalized person".

Everyone had finished the ceremony and was about to leave.

The little eunuch who followed the envoy from the Liang Kingdom called out at the right time: "Please wait a moment, the prince and princess, please wait a moment, Zhu Sima, please wait a moment."

Zhu Xiuyuan and others turned around and looked around.

I saw the little eunuch holding the dust in his hand, with a smile on his face, and a slight bow. He was thin, small, and very young, which was in sharp contrast to the Jinwu Guard behind him.

Li Jiye asked: "My father-in-law, what's the matter with calling me and Brother Zhu to stop this time?"

The young eunuch first bowed deeply to Li Jiye with a very respectful attitude.

Then he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Princess."

Then he turned to Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "There is also Mr. Zhu Sima."

"His Majesty has an oral order, instructing our family to come to Jiangzhou, and after meeting Lord Zhu Sima, convey the message to Lord Sima in front of the prince. Lord Sima, please accept your Majesty's oral order."

Zhu Xiuyuan quietly looked at Dong Cheng, then knelt down to listen to the Holy Sage's words.

Dong Cheng, Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, as well as all the officials in the Yamen, and of course Cui Chengxiu, the "reception officer for the Liang State envoys", all knelt down and listened respectfully.

The only people standing at the scene were Li Jiye, Li Qingnu, and the little eunuch who read out the oral edict.

"The emperor ordered: Sima Zhu Xiuyuan of Jiangzhou is temporarily in charge of receiving the envoys of Liang State until the envoys of Liang State leave Jiangzhou and return to Liang State."

"I am afraid that Zhu Sima is underestimating his official position, and some people are dissatisfied, so I have specially dispatched twenty Jinwu Guards to be driven by Zhu Sima. In addition, Cui Chengxiu, the former 'reception officer for the envoys of Liang State', has been dismissed from his post and stayed in Jiangzhou to serve as his subordinates!"

After the young eunuch read out the oral instructions, he smiled and said: "Best wishes, Sima, thank you for your kindness."

Almost no one noticed that Li Jiye, the king of Liang Guoqian, raised his eyebrows after hearing this instruction, and then the corners of his mouth raised.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him and stood up with the help of the little eunuch.

The rest of the people, such as Dong Cheng, Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, and other officials from the Yamen, had already stood up.

But one person did not stand up and was still kneeling on the ground.

Trembling and shivering all over, he was Cui Chengxiu, the former "reception officer for the Liang Kingdom envoy".Cui Chengxiu wailed sadly in his heart: "It's over, it's over, I just offended Jiangzhou Governor, and in the blink of an eye I fell into the hands of Jiangzhou Governor's subordinates..."

Although Cui Chengxiu knew that he would invite people to take revenge, but he didn't expect to come so fast, he came just after offending someone, it was terrible!

It's just that no one can take care of him at this time.

The two little scribes didn't dare to help him.

The little eunuch smiled and let the twenty Jinwu guards out.

"Master Sima, if you have something to do, just leave it to them. No one dares to stop Jin Wuwei from doing anything."

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally knew that the Jinwu Guards of Chen State were the emperor's own soldiers.

The value of their force is unknown.

But just relying on that shiny golden "skin" can scare a group of people to death, which is definitely useful.

So Zhu Xiuyuan thanked His Majesty again.

The little eunuch chuckled and said, "I wish you all the best, Lord Sima. Before our departure, Yang Tingyu and Mr. Yang asked us to bring you a message."

Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what old Mr. Yang asked his father-in-law to say?"

Yang Tingyu and Yang Lao had packed up their bags and returned to the court the next day after climbing high for a picnic on the Double Ninth Festival half a month ago.

The disaster area is over and only needs to be rebuilt. It is useless for Mr. Yang to stay here.

"I wish Master Sima, Yang Tingyu, Mr. Yang said: The foundation of being an official is to benefit one party. The principle of being an official is to worry about the worries of the world. The virtue of being an official is to be clean and honest. The righteousness of being an official is to maintain the ethics and ethics. If you are not ignorant, everything will be clear to you!"

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Yang for your teaching!"

The little eunuch chuckled again and said: "I wish you, Lord Sima, Yang Tingyu and Mr. Yang have always been upright and can't hold a grain of sand in their eyes. It's rare for him to personally praise and remind the younger generation. It's rare. It's just a handful." Even Zhu Sima, your position as 'temporarily in charge of receiving envoys from the Liang Kingdom and responding to matters' was also obtained by Yang Tingyu and Yang Lao..."

When Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, he was naturally very moved, so he thanked Yang Tingyu from afar.

Thinking back to half a month ago, at the Nalu Mountain Double Ninth Festival Poetry Festival, Yang Tingyu once whispered to him "it has unimaginable benefits".

It is not yet clear what the benefits of the post of "temporarily in charge of receiving envoys from Liang State are to deal with matters".

But on the other hand, this position can be regarded as a great help to him——

Zhu Xiuyuan was worried about finding a reason to punish Cui Chengxiu.

"Cui Chengxiu!"

After Zhu Xiu thanked Yang Tingyu from a distance, he immediately turned around and shouted, took two steps forward and faced Cui Chengxiu directly.

His face had turned cold.

As Zhu Xiuyuan shouted, everyone present turned around and looked at them.

Li Jiye and Li Qingnu had puzzled expressions on their faces. They didn't know why. They didn't know that Cui Chengxiu threatened and intimidated Dong Cheng, so they were naturally at a loss.

Dong Cheng, Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, etc., as well as the big and small officials of the yamen, etc., they all raised their eyebrows, vaguely guessing what Zhu Xiuyuan meant, and then they became excited and secretly clenched their fists.

Aren't you Cui Chengxiu crazy? Aren't you threatening and intimidating Dong Cheng? Now you have fallen into the hands of Dong Cheng's son-in-law, haha.

That Cui Chengxiu still maintained the posture of kneeling on the ground, which has not changed.

He was trembling all over, and after Zhu Xiuyuan shouted, his huge body shook in a way that was visible to the naked eye.
