Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 447 447. Please kill me
All the ministers performed the courtesy of the king and his ministers.

Chen Huang waved his hand and said: "No courtesy!"

"There are two things to call together all the lovers today."

Chen Huang went straight to the point. He didn't want to waste too much time in this court.

The ministers naturally knew in their hearts what the two things Huang Chen said were.

The whole capital has gone crazy!
But no one jumped out to interrupt Chen Huang's words. They all bowed and stood where they were, remaining quiet.

"First thing." Chen Huang picked up a document on the Long Case, glanced at the cover, and then threw it on the Long Case.

"I received a letter of credence today, written by the Emperor of Liang himself."

“Emperor Liang said in his ceremonial certificate that when our Chen State holds martial arts competitions around the Lantern Festival next year, his Liang State will send envoys to observe and learn the complete rules and regulations of martial arts competitions!”

"My dear friends, what do you think? Should I agree to Liang Guo, or should I reject it?" Emperor Chen looked down at the ministers and asked loudly.

Before all the ministers could react, Emperor Chen suddenly became angry and lashed out: "What a Liang State! How much tribute does the Chen State receive from me every year, including money, grain, ordnance, silk, cloth, etc., just loading it into ships and shipping it? To fill hundreds of ships!”

"But when our country of Chen is in danger, the country of Liang is powerless. Let's not talk about the distance, let's just say that some time ago, the king of Shaozhou rebelled, and a hundred thousand troops of the state of Yan invaded the border... Our country of Chen is in danger, but the country of Liang is in danger. What have you done?"

"Nothing has been done, nothing can be accomplished! The Liang Kingdom actually has so many demands and wants to learn the entire martial arts regulations of the Chen Kingdom..."

Chen Huang was furious, yelling and slapping the table.

All the ministers lowered their heads and shrank their necks.

Some people who originally wanted to speak out were frightened back by Chen Huang.

"Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important!"

The ministers only heard Concubine You's voice.

"That's all, I was also angry for a while. Dear friends, Liang Guo's request, should I, Chen Guo, agree? Let's talk about it."

The ministers raised their heads slightly and looked up the imperial steps, only to see that Emperor Chen had sat back on the dragon chair and was drinking tea to calm down his shock.

However, Emperor Chen just vented his anger and frightened most of the ministers, so no one came forward to offer advice.

There was an eerie silence in the entire hall.

"Why is no one talking? Aren't you all clamoring to see me on weekdays? Now that you have met me, why are you speechless?" Chen Huang said in a cold tone.

The ministers looked at each other and complained wildly in their hearts.

As Your Majesty, you have scolded Liang Guo, who would dare to stand up and say that Liang Guo is good?And then agree to Liang Guo’s request?
But the ministers also knew very well that at present, the national power of Liang State was still very strong, and Chen State could not compete with it at all...

Contradictory!
Chen Huang's vent just now left all the civil and military officials speechless.

"Speak, why are you all mute? Aren't you very good at speaking in private? How come you can't speak at all as soon as you enter this hall?"

Emperor Chen was irritable. He hated going to court, and he hated wasting time when going to court.

Wouldn't he enjoy spending this precious time having fun with his beloved concubine in the hot spring?

"His Majesty!"

Finally, someone came out.

When everyone looked around, it turned out to be a minister from the Ministry of Personnel.

"Your Majesty, since this martial arts event is based on Uncle Jiang Cheng's advice and was prepared by Uncle Jiang Cheng... you might as well ask Uncle Jiang Cheng to say a few words. After all, this martial arts event was done by my uncle..."

When the ministers heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened.

That's right, why didn't they think of this move?

Not only were the ministers eye-catching, but even Chen Huang, who was sitting on the royal throne, nodded.

He waved his hand and shouted: "Where is Zhu Aiqing?"

Zhu Xiuyuan held up his hands and walked out of the queue, came to the middle of the hall, stood side by side with the Minister of Civil Affairs, and bowed loudly: "I am here!"

"Tell me your opinion, don't worry, just speak freely!"

When Huang Chen saw Zhu Xiuyuan, his expression softened slightly and his tone became much softer.

Because Zhu Xiuyuan is "one of our own"!
Although Chen Huang is a stupid and cruel person, he is really kind to his own people.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his face remained calm, he just cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, I should agree to Liang Guo's request and let Liang Guo's envoys observe the process of the martial arts competition!"

"Bold traitor!"

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, a civil servant came out excitedly and scolded: "Jiang Chengbo, you eat the king's salary, but you don't want to share the king's worries! The Liang country is a country of tigers and wolves, and the strategy of martial arts is not the same. This is a strategy to strengthen the army! Uncle Jiang Cheng agreed with Liang Guo to steal the martial arts regulations, what are you doing? You are treason! You are a traitor!"

After the civil official reprimanded Zhu Xiuyuan, he turned to Chen Huang who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I invite Jiang Chengbo to be punished. Traitors like these should be beheaded immediately, as a warning to others!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Second minister!" "Second minister!"

……

Suddenly, more than half of the civil servants and a small half of the military officers all appeared.

They all seconded the suggestion of killing Zhu Xiuyuan.

Great momentum!

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows.

Although he had expected this to happen.

But...he didn't expect that so many people would jump out and second their opinions.

He still had some impression of this person who came out to denounce him. It seemed that some relative of his family was involved in the three major cases, which caused the family to be ruined.

It was quite normal for this person to jump out and scold him. After all, this kind of hatred is difficult to resolve.

Zhu Xiuyuan just didn't expect that many of the many ministers who jumped out to second the proposal turned out to be centrists!

But he didn't expect that they would end up siding with him and even standing against him.

This is slightly chilling.

You know, the reason why they are able to hold high positions is all because of him Zhu Xiuyuan!
Without Zhu Xiuyuan, they don’t know how many years it would take them to reach their current position.

These people don’t know how to be grateful!
People are not old!
However, Zhu Xiuyuan is not truly alone.

Some people jumped out to speak for him.

The first person to show up surprised Zhu Xiuyuan. He was actually the young Sikou of the Prison Department!
Then came King Zhenze, Yang Tingyu, and finally King Zhongshan also came out to help Zhu Xiuyuan speak.

In the entire court, the only ones who are still standing still are the Prime Minister Li Zhong and a small number of staunch centrists.

They still stood where they were and said nothing.

Although as soon as Zhu Xiuyuan spoke, the entire court instantly "boiled".

The ministers were excited.

However, Emperor Chen on the dragon chair and Concubine You on the phoenix chair remained motionless.

Emperor Chen didn't even look at the ministers who criticized Zhu Xiuyuan.

His expression had softened and his tone was no longer cold, and he asked: "Zhu Aiqing, you just said that you should agree to Liang Guo's request. Why?"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a step forward.

Although he faced a lot of criticism, he was only slightly chilled. In fact, there were no other disturbances in his heart.

He knew very well in his heart that Emperor Chen and Concubine You relied heavily on him, and it was impossible for Emperor Chen to punish him just because of the accusations of the ministers.

That is impossible!

Zhu Xiuyuan's contribution, not to mention anything else, just talking about the receipt of 1000 million taels of silver, it is impossible for Chen Huang to touch him!
Emperor Chen has already regarded him as a confidant!

"The reason why I suggest agreeing to Liang Guo's request is mainly for the following two reasons." Zhu Xiuyuan said slowly.

"First, looking at the whole world, we have Chen, Yan, Liang, as well as Beiyuan in the north, Tubo on the plateau, etc. Among these many countries, only Liang has the strongest national power. Even Beiyuan Yuan and Dafan joined forces to attack from the north and the south, but they were unable to do anything to Liang Guo!"

"Why should I, Da Chen, be so tough on you when you have a strong force on your side?"

"Secondly, in fact, this martial arts strategy is not a secret! We, Chen Guo, do not hold martial arts secretly. There will always be people watching. The regulations of the martial arts are not complicated, you only need to pay a little attention. To sum it up. In other words, sooner or later, this martial arts regulations will be known to the Liang Kingdom!"

"Since Liang Guo has sent his credentials and wants to send an envoy to observe and observe, why don't we do it as a favor?"

Zhu Xiuyuan stated his two reasons loudly.

"Hmm..." Emperor Chen twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "I wish Aiqing's words are reasonable. Although the Liang Kingdom is hateful, it is not easy to provoke. Since the regulations of the martial arts will be spread to the Liang Kingdom sooner or later, , we might as well just do this favor!"

"What do you think, dear princes?" Emperor Chen looked down at his highnesses and ministers.

All the ministers looked at each other in shock, and finally had to raise their hands and said: "I second the proposal!"

Then everyone returned to their seats.

The minister who denounced Zhu Xiuyuan as a traitor also retreated with a look of reluctance.

Although he was filled with hatred, there was nothing he could do.

Although his denunciation just now attracted the support of most civil and military officials, His Majesty did not even look at him, and he never mentioned what to do with Zhu Xiuyuan...

Although he wanted to get rid of it quickly, he also knew that the time had not yet come.

So I had to retreat in despair.
