Cultivation: Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds

"Okay, okay, the special envoy of the Tie Zhan Dynasty is here, so stop bickering and let others see the joke." Bai Zhenshan shook his head and said.

After Bai Zhenshan spoke, the laughter around him and the ridicule towards He Zhen gradually dissipated.He Zhen also understood the severity of the public outrage, and was obviously much more honest. He sat back in his seat and remained silent.

"Two special envoys, please sit down!" Bai Zhenshan pointed to the two seats closest to him, almost at the same level as Baidie, and said to Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu with a very warm attitude.

Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu were also not polite, and under the almost hostile gaze of all the ministers, they sat down and sat down.

Bai Zhenshan was about to announce the start of the banquet, when a minister suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Hu is still kneeling outside the hall. Do you want someone to invite Mr. Hu to join us for the banquet?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The emperor issued a decree, ordering all second-rank officials in Yunzhong City to come to the banquet. Mr. Hu is also a second-rank, so he should be on the list."

As soon as the minister made the proposal, the rest of the ministers responded and agreed one after another. There was a posture that the banquet could not start until the tiger was surprised.

A look of displeasure flashed across Bai Zhenshan's face. All the ministers knew that Hu Jingqi was a staunch and stubborn man, and he had always been tough on the Tie Zhan Dynasty. If he was invited to the banquet, it would only spoil the atmosphere, but the ministers still insisted Inviting Hu Jingqi to the banquet was clearly an attempt to express their dissatisfaction with the banquet.

Just when Bai Zhenshan was indecisive, He Zhen stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, I saw Mr. Hu kneeling outside the palace. His body seemed to be seriously overdrawn. Although I didn't know that Hu Jingqi How can you offend the emperor, but please let the emperor see that Mr. Hu has contributed to the community, calm down the dragon's anger, and announce Mr. Hu to the palace."

He Zhen would actually speak for Hu Jingqi?All the officials present were greatly surprised, even Bai Zhenshan was a little surprised.How can he really have such a heart and kindness?

of course not!Only Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu knew that He Zhen was pretending to get rid of suspicion for the sudden death of Hu Jingqi in the future.

Bai Zhenshan frowned, and said, "You dear ones don't know, it's not because I have the intention to punish Mr. Hu, but because Mr. Hu insisted on kneeling outside the palace. I have tried to persuade him several times, but he just doesn't listen. In my heart It's also helpless."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu is a civil servant who doesn't understand martial arts. His body will definitely not be able to bear it after kneeling for a long time. When I entered the palace, I felt that Mr. Hu seemed to have reached the limit. If I kneel down again, I'm afraid something will happen." He Zhen Putting on a look of extreme worry, but in fact, he laid the groundwork quietly, and attributed Hu Jingqi's death to kneeling for a long time, which is really far-reaching.

Hu Jingqi was a minister that Xu Wenchuan valued very much. If he really knelt to death like this, Bai Zhenshan would not be able to explain to Xu Wenchuan.After pondering for a moment, he said, "Order to send Mr. Hu back to the mansion to rest and recuperate."

When Bai Zhenshan said this, all the ministers had no objection.Hu Jingqi knelt on his knees for a whole day and night, and he really couldn't bear to come to the banquet again.

He Zhen and Wei Chunqiu looked at each other, each with a strange smile on their faces.By planting Hu Jingqi's death on the emperor's head, He Zhen can sit back and relax, and it is a good strategy.

After finishing the matter of Hu Jingqi, Bai Zhenshan loudly announced the start of the banquet.

In order to give Tie Zhan Dynasty face, Bai Zhenshan took the lead in toasting Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu regardless of his status as the Ninth Five Lord. Although Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu had a lot of face, the faces of the officials were even more ugly.

In order to show his loyalty to Bai Zhenshan, as soon as Bai Zhenshan put down his wine glass, He Zhen stood up again and had a drink with Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu each.

However, after He Zhenjing finished, the scene immediately fell silent, and a needle could be heard, which made Bai Zhenshan feel very embarrassed.

Bai Zhenshan originally thought that once He Zhen warmed up the scene at the beginning, all the ministers would line up to toast Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu. In that way, the atmosphere of the banquet would naturally be lively and lively, but he never He didn't expect that his subjects were so 'powerful', let alone the special envoy of the Tie Zhan Dynasty, even his emperor was ignored.

Bai Zhenshan coughed, concealing the embarrassment in his heart, smiled and said to the ministers, "Dear dears, today is my treat, don't save me money, everyone must have fun."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as Bai Zhenshan finished speaking, all the officials bowed to thank him.

Bai Zhenshan was overjoyed, thinking that the minister understood what he said, and the atmosphere of the banquet became lively, but the fact made him so angry that he almost spurted blood.

After Bai Zhenshan finished speaking, the atmosphere of the banquet was indeed lively, and it was not the usual lively, full of hustle and bustle, people who didn't know thought they were at a temple fair.It's just that none of the ministers went to toast Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu, but yelled at each other.

Pushing cups and changing cups one by one, chatting and laughing happily, some generals, when they got excited, took off their armor and punched with shirtless arms.That way, it's more than just having fun, it's simply joy.

No matter how well-bred Bai Zhenshan is, his complexion is already swollen to the color of a pig's liver.Not to mention Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu, sitting there, as if sitting on needle felt, neither drinking nor eating, the excitement before coming here was blown away in a blink of an eye.

Awkward!Very embarrassing!It was as embarrassing as being stripped naked and slapped wildly in front of everyone on the streets of a busy city.

"Special Envoy Duan, Special Envoy Wei, I would like to respect you both." Seeing that Bai Zhenshan was losing face, Bai Die hurriedly stood up, and said to Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu with a smile.

"Don't dare! My minister respects the princess!" Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu really braced themselves and raised their wine glasses. The wine tasted like bile, which was called bitterness.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu seems to be...seems to be dying?" At this moment, Di Xiang rushed in hurriedly, with a very nervous expression on his face.

The originally noisy hall fell into dead silence in an instant, and the faces of all the ministers changed suddenly!

Bai Zhenshan was holding the wine glass and was about to take a sip, suppressing the anger in his heart, when Di Xiang said a word, the wine glass in Bai Zhenshan's hand fell to the ground immediately.The wine splashed everywhere, but Bai Zhenshan didn't care about it at all. He suddenly raised his head to look at Di Xiang, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

"Just now, I was about to carry Lord Hu back to the mansion, but found that Lord Hu's breathing was very weak, and it seemed that it might be cut off at any time. The general did not dare to act presumptuously, so he came here to report to the emperor."

"Impossible! Although Mr. Hu is a civil servant, his body is not weak. Although he knelt for a day and a night, his life is not in danger, right?" Bai Zhenshan frowned more and more, his expression was a little flustered.

If Xu Wenchuan knew that Hu Jingqi knelt to death outside the palace hall, Bai Zhenshan could imagine with his toes how angry Xu Wenchuan would be.

Bai Die was even more nervous. Of course she knew that Hu Jingqi was not only a very prestigious minister in the court, but also Hu Yue's biological father.Who is Huyue?That's Wan Dong's brother!If Hu Jingqi really died, Wan Dongfei would have to poke a hole in the sky.

"Father, it's not too late, hurry up and declare the imperial physician to treat Mr. Hu!" Bai Die hurriedly raised her head and said to Bai Zhenshan.

Bai Zhenshan nodded immediately, urged Di Xiang repeatedly, and ordered Di Xiang to announce the imperial physician.

After Di Xiang left, the whole banquet was completely cold, and even the officials were quiet, all of them looked anxious, obviously worried about Hu Jingqi.Many ministers also frequently cast angry glances at Bai Zhenshan. Obviously, their dissatisfaction with Bai Zhenshan had reached its peak.

At this moment, Bai Zhenshan's intestines were about to turn green with regret.If he had known that Hu Jingqi's body was so weak, he would never let him kneel outside the palace hall, even if he was tied, he would tie him back to his home.

Although Hu Jingqi wanted to kneel himself, but if he really knelt and died outside the palace hall, even if Bai Zhenshan jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to wash away his responsibilities.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hu is a good person, and a good person has God's help! According to my minister, Mr. Hu is only exhausted for a while, and he will recover in a short time. You don't have to worry too much."

Bai Zhenshan nodded slightly, no matter what, Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu are still sitting here, the banquet is not over yet, even if he tries hard, he still has to hold on.

Bai Zhenshan barely showed a smile, and offered a toast to Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu.Turning his head to look at the officials, he found that all the officials were sitting upright, with serious faces, like sculptures, neither drinking nor eating, and not moving, as if they were sitting in protest.

Bai Zhenshan wanted them to respect Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu too, but when it came to his mouth, he felt guilty and swallowed it back.Bai Zhenshan had been emperor for so many years, and this was the first time he felt guilty in front of his courtiers.

"Your Majesty, just drinking is too monotonous. I think of an entertainment program that can liven up the atmosphere." He Zhen rolled his eyes, stood up and said to Bai Zhenshan.

"Oh?" Bai Zhenshan's heart skipped a beat, no matter what, the atmosphere must be mobilized right now, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"Come here! Bring me up!" He Zhen clapped his hands and gave a drink.

Two soldiers of the He Mansion escorted Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, who were tied up, into the main hall.

Looking at the lofty Baizhen Mountain, Wan Youqi felt bitterness in her heart.Unexpectedly, she would meet the emperor of Qingyun Empire in such a way.As for asking Qingyun Empire to send troops, Wan Youqi didn't even think about it.If it wasn't for taking care of Shangguan Yunzhu, Wan Youqi would have no choice but to die quickly!

Bai Zhenshan had vaguely guessed the identities of Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu, but he still pretended to be confused and asked, "He Aiqing, these two are..."

He Zhen cleared his throat and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, these two are spies sent by the Tiandu Kingdom to sow discord between us and the Tie Zhan Dynasty. One is the famous female general Wan Youqi, and the other is the princess Shangguan Yun of the Tiandu Kingdom. beads."

"Oh? He Aiqing, what do you mean by bringing the two of them here?" Bai Zhenshan asked calmly.
