Chapter 65: Entering the Court for the First Time (Thank You Su Jianghai for Your 1000 Reward)

Outside the palace of King Chu, Cheng Jia was dressed in a navy blue new court dress early and stood quietly outside the Chaohua Gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he came, the palace door of the palace of the king of Chu had not yet opened, and the early winter morning still had a slight cold wind, gently blowing the tassels on his jade crown and flying gently, but he stood straight, looking up at a certain direction in the palace gate, stunned.

For a long time, the bell of the outer court.

Three rings, three falls.

Zhu Palace was in the early dynasty, and hundreds of officials entered the palace.

As the new head of the Cheng family, the youngest Si Defeat, Cheng Jia's face was neat, attracting the inquiring eyes of the ministers all the way, stepping on the eighty-one jade steps of the Zhu Palace, until the main gate of the main hall and the Mi Huang who was about to enter the hall, met head-on.

Both of them stared at each other.

Cheng Jia took a step back and said in a clear voice, "The princess will ask first." ”

Then Mi Huang, who bowed down as a princess, got out of the way.

Along the thirty-six Zhu Gates of the Golden Palace, there was a marble-paved Qingyun Road at his feet, which extended to the throne closest to the white jade steps.

"Hmm!"

There is no extra politeness, and the phoenix bows his head.

Stepping into the golden hall that she had longed for for a long time, she looked up and saw that the hundred officials who were gathered were whispering to each other.

"Have you heard? Today is the first time that the princess has gone to court!"

"Shhhh

Everyone's eyes, under this reminder, were attracted by a slender and tall red figure at the door.

Or sigh, or be surprised, or puzzled......

I sighed in my heart, she really came.

walked into this unparalleled golden palace and walked into the center of Chu power.

When the day really came, they all frowned slightly, but finally came forward to congratulate them with a happy face.

Mi Huang saw the hesitation and changes of everyone before and after, and greeted them one by one.

Behind her, an elegant figure came out of the crowd, also revealing a friendly smile, it was Ling Yinzi, who smiled and said, "The princess is officially going to court for the first time today!"

"Yes, Ling Yin!" said Mi Huang nodded.

"The last dynasty is a matter of learning a lot, is the lady ready today?"

Ling Yin Zi asked meaningfully, and his old and deep gaze fell on the woman with a straight back, like an unsheathed sword.

"Mi Huang entered the court for the first time today, and there are a lot of things I don't understand, and I hope to remind Lord Yin a lot. Mi Huang said frankly.

"Then the lady will follow the old minister!"

Ling Yin Zi smiled gently, releasing his affinity and courtesy, as well as the reserved arrogance of being the ruler of the country, and walked into the hall first.

Mi Huang's heart was like a mirror, so Yin Ziyan naturally took special care of himself for Ruo Ao Ziyan's sake, so he didn't say much and immediately followed.

As a princess, Mi Huang and Ling Yin Zi were ranked side by side under the ninth-level jade steps, closest to the chief first row of the throne.

In the second row stood Ling Yin's current deputy, Yin and his disciples.

In the third row stood four divisions, Sima, Situ, Sikong, and Si Defeat.

Cheng Jia, as a defeated division, was at the bottom seat, and then in the fourth row, there were Li Yin, Gong Yin, Bu Yin, Xian Yin, Xun Yin and other Yin, as well as the ministers.

Anyway, most of them are still fresh faces.

Mi Huang silently paid attention to everyone's appearance and corresponding official uniforms, remembering their identities.

It's just that at this time, Mi Huang didn't know what kind of storm would happen in this golden palace from the moment she stepped into this golden palace.

This 300-year-old Nagisa Palace is like a cage, slowly opening its doors for her and encompassing all the power in this world.

A great storm will gradually come in.

Mixed with the remnants of the three hundred years of Great Chu, with the cold breath of winter, it slowly blew in, and it will become more and more intense in this golden palace.

Above the ninth-level jade steps, with Zhao Changshi's usual voice, "There is something to start, nothing to retreat." ”

Early dynasty, officially began.

The king of Chu leaned on his body and sat at the highest point in the hall, across the twelve crowns, watching the ministers under the jade steps snoring slightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

A loud recital pulled the drowsy King of Chu back from the edge of sleep, only to see Gongzheng Mansion Gong Yin Gongjin pacing out of the third row.

Zuo disciple Zhou Mu was the first to frown and look at him.

Seeing him look over, he didn't dodge or dodge, and let out a cold snort from his nose.

Zhou Mu's eyebrows condensed slightly, he was an official in the same dynasty as Gong Yi, and he knew too much about this Gong Yi who only knew how to dig ditches, repair roads, repair dams and repair houses all day long.

Whenever it is not as good as he wants, he feels that someone is making things difficult for him, and the silver that he has been trying to repair the dam for the past three years has been postponed by him because of the tight war in Chu Yong's war.

Look at him with such an expression.

I know that he is ready to impeach him again today.

In the past few days, it is either for the purpose of rehousing the displaced people, or for the funds for the repair of the embankment three years ago, and there is a tendency to not stop.

Gong Yi is a rough man, and his temper is always on his face.

Ling Yin Zi saw it, and asked with a smile instead of the King of Chu, "I said cautiously, what happened to make you so angry?"

Caution is a word that Yin Zi gave to the public to be cautious, that is, he hoped that he would be cautious in his words and deeds, but the public lost cautiously and could not understand the true meaning of this word at all.

Gong Yi stiffened his neck and replied, "Returning to Ling Yin, I would like to impeach the left disciple Zhou Mu for embezzling public funds for disaster relief." ”

"It's Zhou Mu who you want to impeach?"

Yin Zi's old and deep eyes narrowed, and he asked again and again.

Mi Huang also frowned when he heard this.

According to the information provided by Ruo Ao Ziyan about various officials, this Zhou Mu is the descendant of the Zhou family who originally accompanied King Wu to fight the world, the Zhou family has a big business, and every time there is a big war, they donate money and food to the Chu State, and several generations of people have held important positions in the Chu State, and the forces of all parties are even more in-laws with each other, and they are intertwined.

Zhou Mu's wife's sister is Ruo Ao Ziliang's wife Lu, and Zhou Mu's daughter, Zhou Jinghua, is now discussing marriage with Cheng Jia.

The officials who are related to him by marriage are afraid that they account for half of the golden palace of this Zhu Palace.

Impeach him?

For this bull temper brainless famous public loser.

Mi Huang finally has an intuitive understanding.

"It's Zhou Mu, the disaster relief money has been allocated five times since before the princess's wedding, but every time the money and food in the hands of the old man have been delayed for various reasons, and the disaster relief person in the county below me reported yesterday that what he received was not corn but corn husks. As soon as the relief food was opened on the spot, the displaced people who lined up to receive the relief food mutinied on the spot, and there was a riot of displaced people in the whole Suicheng on the same day, burning and looting everywhere. ”

As soon as Gong Yi said this, even Ling Yin Zipan and Li Yushi and others couldn't help but be stunned, "What, there was a riot in Suicheng?"

"Yes, Lord Ling Yin!"

Gong Yi nodded anxiously and angrily, and continued: "What's even more hateful is that in the past three years, in order to repair the dam, Zhou Mu has pushed back and blocked our Gongzheng Mansion's request for money several times, which has led to the current Huai River flooding, and the people in the downstream villages are homeless and have become homeless people, which is fundamentally contrary to the plan of the king and the people to recuperate and live and go north to attack Jin......

"I'm in turmoil, what's the point of going north, king!"

Gong Yi was even more indignant in the end, and scolded with a red face and a thick neck, "Zhou Mu's behavior is simply in vain for my great Chu minister!"

The king of Chu, who did not know the specific ins and outs of these things, was originally recuperating in order to get some sleep, but when he heard that this matter would affect his plan to go north to attack Jin and dominate the princes, he suddenly got up and became angry.

"Zhou Mu, get out of here!"

The king of Chu slapped the throne and roared, resounding through the Golden Palace, deafening.

All the officials couldn't help but shrink their necks.

It seems that Zhou Mu is going to be unlucky.

However, the King of Chu had just woken up, so Yin Zi didn't, he looked at Zhou Mu and asked unhurriedly, "Lord Zhou, is what Lord Gongyi said true?"

"The minister is wronged!"

Zhou Mu, who is responsible for the supply of money and grain, has never been a fuel-efficient lamp to deal with the powerful lords of major families, otherwise he would not be able to manage the money and grain of a big country like Chu in the position of a leftist disciple.

With a shout of "wronged", he hurried out of the ranks, knelt on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes.

"Three years of war in my Chu country, three years of floods, the treasury is gradually emptied, in order to resist Yong, the subordinates have to collect money and grain from all over the world every day, which Lord Situ can testify to the subordinates. The major families have long complained about the two of us! It's hard for a subordinate to do it......"

That's why there are delays, not intentionally. And how this rice grain turned into corn husks when it got down there, the subordinates didn't know! Obviously, all that was given to Gong Yin was snow-white corn, and there must be someone among them who did not supervise it effectively!"

Zhao Xing, who is Situ, also testified when he heard this.

Zhou Mu knelt on the ground, finished talking about the situation, glared at the public and scolded back, "Or someone who is a thief shouts to catch a thief, and he has to rely on me, even if I Zhou Mu dies, I will not bear this unruly grudge, please Wang Mingjian!"

As soon as Zhou Mu said this, he immediately scolded, "Fart, I won't be greedy for those unconscionable money and food, unlike some people who have a lot of money and food at home and are about to become moldy, and they don't give a little charity to the poor people!"

"Then I will covet this money and food? The war is non-stop, the people everywhere are struggling to make a living, and the subordinates are also very anxious. Zhou Mu rolled up his sleeves and cried.

Gong Yi Jin was a little angry, pointed at his nose and scolded, "You are a Zhou pickpocket, you have to pick your skin before you are willing to tell the truth......"

"You...... How dare you ......"

Although the public loses the gongyin, he does not lose to these civil officials when it comes to words.

At that moment, Sven's Zhou Mu blushed and was speechless.

Seeing that the two ministers were fighting with red faces and thick necks, I sent you to kick me and I punched you, and the entire court suddenly turned into a vegetable market where the two of them scolded.

The King of Chu, who was sitting high in the Golden Palace, frowned more and more, and his already gloomy and ugly face suddenly became a storm.

Before he shouted "enough noise", the elderly Li Yushi had already walked out of the queue quickly, and stopped the two of them with a smile.

"Two great lords, you see that the king is diligent in political affairs and in state affairs, and he is extremely tired. ”

Li Lao, who pointed to the gate and the king of Chu, said slowly, "If you want to quarrel, it's better to go outside to quarrel, this is above the court, and we are still speaking publicly." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two people who didn't notice the face of King Chu immediately stopped talking.

I don't know if the king of Chu was diligent in political affairs last night, but everyone knows that the king of Chu has a bad temper.

Especially early in the morning.

All the ministers bowed their heads one after another, and Li Lao deserved to be the elder of the Three Dynasties.

The timing of each time and the mud is always just right.

"In the opinion of the old minister, after all, such a large amount of disaster relief funds must be investigated, so it is better to let the success or failure of the Three Nations Alliance pursue this case. Li Yushi smiled slightly and then said.

This hot potato was thrown out at once, and the ministers looked at Li Lao even more convincingly.

Neither of these is easy to offend.

It's just the new boss who is defeated, so there's nothing to do with them.

King Chu's wasp-like eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he thought about it, the Three Kingdoms Alliance?

It seems that there is such a young man.

Then he raised his voice and asked, "But the son of Cheng Lao who won the two cities of Handan in the Jin State and Acheng in the Qi State with a gamble?"

The king of Chu gradually remembered, thinking that the Three Kingdoms Alliance had won two cities for nothing, his brows loosened, and his mood suddenly improved.

Haha laughed, "He's a good one!"

The hall was full of wind and rain, and it was immediately dispersed.

The emperor was angry and said that the wind was the wind, and the rain was the rain.

Hearing this, Ling Yin Zi also smiled slowly and at the right time, "The king is the second son of Cheng Lao, and now Zuo Yin's younger brother." The resettlement of the displaced people near Yingdu was also presided over by Cheng Siwei, and all the sick displaced people outside the city were treated in time, and the epidemic did not break out, endangering the safety of Yingdu. ”

"That's good!"

The king of Chu laughed again, "Reward! A thousand gold, a thousand acres of fertile land!"

As long as his royal city is safe, it's better than anything else.

In the golden palace of this Zhu Palace, the spring breeze suddenly turned into rain and praised.

The ministers all agreed that after the defeat of the division was virtuous, he was young and promising.

Around the highest place.

Bringing together all the people in the power center of the Chu State today, every word is stirring up the stormy thunder of this country.

Mi Huang snorted quietly, my Chu State court is also full of people who see the wind and rudder, and the real war natural disasters do not see one of them rushing to the front, only singing praises behind the back, and the man's eyes quietly turned and fell on the man standing in the third row of the main hall.

I saw him step forward calmly, like a quiet wind slowly blowing into the hall, blowing away the turbidity of the hall, and calmly replied, "The things of eating the king and being loyal to the king are all things that are within the responsibility of the ministers, and they should not be praised by the king." ”

The voice is unhurried and unhurried, and the breath is like a light feather.

Sure enough, he is a man who is completely different from Ruo Ao Ziyan.

If Ao Ziyan is standing in this golden palace at this time and accepts the congratulations of this person, it must be well-deserved.

"What a good thing to eat, a matter of loyalty. ”

Ling Yin Zi praised it with a smile on his face, and then suddenly turned with a smile, "Then this case will be handed over to Cheng Si to judge, okay?"

"Yes, Lord Ling Yin. ”

Cheng Jia frowned, looked at the left disciples involved in the case, Zhou Mu and Gong Yin, and happily accepted the order.

Mi Huang watched silently, this is obviously a hot potato.

But Ling Yin Ziban still followed Li Yushi's suggestion and kicked the ball to Cheng Jia.

Sure enough, no one in this court is light!

Zhou Mu has a good face and hands it over to Cheng Jia, then he will win a big way, others don't know their relationship, but they do.

"Hmph, the truth will be in broad light then!"

"See if it's your fault or mine. Gong Yu also glared at him.

The two quarreled all morning, straightened their clothes, and finally got up with their sleeves and returned to everyone.

A storm stopped for the time being.

But the ministers are clear in their hearts, and the bad debts between these two have not yet been settled!

However, this is not the most important thing, the ministers have been arguing for an hour and are almost going to go to the court, and even Zhao Changshou is ready to announce his withdrawal from the court after receiving another yawn from the king of Chu.

Mi Huang, who went to court for the first time, looked at the king of Chu who was constantly yawning on the throne, and Zhou Mu and Gong Gong, who were holding back their strength like fighting cocks in secret, and pouted secretly.

It turns out that this is the early dynasty of my Chu State!

Sure enough, it's like a vegetable market.

After collecting his gaze, Mi Huang retreated from the Zhu Palace with the ministers, only to see the ministers swarming forward again to congratulate Cheng Jia.

Under the golden glazed tiles, the young temperament is graceful, the smile is light and close, like a tall and beautiful purple bamboo, standing under the golden gilt red building, harvesting countless envious eyes.

Everyone was fascinated by the sun.

They all squinted their eyes and looked up at the young man standing on the jade steps.

Thinking about how to get along with this upstart in the future.

One person walked over first, it was Zhou Mu, who patted his shoulder with satisfaction and smiled, "Chengxian's nephew has a bright future!"

The tone is affectionate, revealing a bit of self-satisfaction as a future father-in-law.

Cheng Jia replied respectfully, "Zhou Shibo, it's a prize!"

Mi Huang looked at the excitement over there coldly, turned around and walked towards the East Palace, the smile on Cheng Jia's face in the encirclement was slightly condensed at the moment the woman turned around, and then she also said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the outside of the palace of King Chu.

The rest of the ministers went back to their homes, and if they didn't go home, they had already begun to think about it.

When Zhou Mu returned to Zhou's mansion, he met Zhou Jinghua, who had been waiting early in the morning, and was asked by her again and again, "Father, can you see Brother Jia today?"

"I see, I see, from the time I went out to the time I came back, how many times have you asked, it's really a big girl. ”

Zhou Mu walked in, shook his head and smiled.

"How's that, what's going on? Brother Jia, did you fall into the eyes of the king today? Zhou Jinghua then asked.

"With his Triple Alliance and the credit of relocating displaced people, how can he not be earned?" Zhou Mu shook his head.

"Of course, Brother Cheng Jia is not inferior to Brother Ziyan in terms of ability!"

Zhou Jinghua smiled happily, "Even Ling Yin can't deserve it." ”

Zhou Mu's shrewd eyes crossed a glimmer, and his elegant face was very satisfied, but he only thought about it halfway, and frowned, "It's just that today, the husband who lost the court and became a father in the court, so that it added the first case to your brother Jia." ”

"What case?"

Zhou Jinghua didn't know why her heart tightened when she heard this, and asked.

"Don't ask too much about these things in the court, you don't have to ask a girl. If he is free, he will ask Cheng Jia to walk around for his father. Zhou Mu wanted to say it, but he stopped halfway through the words, and his eyes flashed.

Hearing what his father meant, probably for next year's marriage, Zhou Jinghua couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and said, "Well, I'll ask when I have time." "But it's not confused
