Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Sorrowful King of Chu

A minister who was good friends with Zhaoyang asked, and the other ministers instantly turned their eyes on Zhaoyang, expecting Zhaoyang to know the answer. Because everyone got the news, after the king of Chu recovered from his illness, he only summoned Qu Yuan alone, and then there was this great court meeting.

These people will inevitably have ideas, could it be that the king was slandered by Qu Yuan and decided to change the law again.

That's the last thing anyone wants.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Zhaoyang's pale face shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know.

Today, Zhaoyang's face was ugly, and it was obvious that his condition had not improved, so he went to court with illness.

Seeing that Zhaoyang didn't know about this, the others had to sigh worriedly, and then squinted at Qu Yuan, who was isolated, trying to see something from him, but they didn't see anything.

Qu Yuan sat alone in his seat, as if he was infected with the plague, and there was a vacant area around him, even if it was other Qu Shi ministers, they were far away.

Qu Yuan himself was indifferent to everything, his face was expressionless, his eyes seemed to be closed and open, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

For Qu Yuan's expression, the others had only one response: "Hmph." โ€

The ministers waited for a while, and then waited for a while, but the king of Chu was delayed.

Gradually, the ministers were impatient, saying that it was the king of Chu himself who convened the great court, and now it was the king of Chu who was delayed, what did the king of Chu want to do, and for a while the ministers began to discuss in the hall, discussing what the king of Chu was doing at this time.

Hearing the discussion of the ministers, Zhaoyang knew that it was him who should come forward at this time, so he coughed lightly.

Seeing this, the other people who had been paying attention to Zhaoyang immediately stopped, closed their mouths, and looked at Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang waved to a eunuch in the main hall, beckoned him over and asked, "I don't know where the king is?" Whether today's court meeting will be postponed. โ€

"Replying to Yin's words, the minister doesn't know." The eunuch shook his head.

"Alright, send someone to ask the king." Zhaoyang waved his hand.

"No."

At this time, Xiong Huai was wandering outside Wei Meiren's palace, in fact, after the ministers arrived, there were eunuchs who came to report, and the ministers arrived and could go to the meeting.

But Xiong Huai ignored it, and continued to wander around outside Wei Meiren's palace, not in a hurry at all.

Li Qiu got the eunuch's report, came to Xiong Huai's side and said, "King, I just ordered Yin to come and ask if the king is unwell and whether today's court meeting will be postponed." โ€

The so-called physical discomfort is just an excuse for the monarch not to participate in the court meeting, which is borrowed from the famous line, the dialogue between Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zhong: The widow is sick, and the widow is lustful.

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately knew that the ministers couldn't wait, otherwise Zhaoyang would not come to urge again.

Besides, he has been hanging the ministers there for a while, and if he continues to ink, that is, he has acted, and he belongs to him, who is the king of Chu, and teases the ministers.

"Let's go."

This time, Xiong Huai walked towards the main hall first.

Now walking on the road, Xiong Huai knows that it is not so easy to be a qualified actor, at least as an actor, he is not qualified.

But the acting skills are not enough, the props come to make up, Xiong Huai, who was in the lead, on the way, secretly took out a piece of ginger from his sleeve, quietly broke the ginger, and wiped it on his eyes with the broken surface that was dripping with juice in a position that others couldn't notice.

In this era when there are no onions, you can't pinch onions, then use ginger, the wisdom of the masses is unlimited.

When Xiong Huai walked to the main hall, his eyes were red and swollen, and he couldn't stop crying.

"I rubbed it, it seems to have gone too far, the ginger is smeared a little too much, my eyes are so uncomfortable, so painful, the pain is unbearable, it's like burning, I shouldn't blind my eyes." To be the king of Chu to do my job, there should be no one who can have me fight so hard. Xiong Huai burst into tears, his eyes stinged, as if he really had the urge to cry, and he didn't know if it was ginger that caused the illusion.

When Xiong Huai walked into the main hall, the other ministers had already received the news and all stood up.

"Meet the King." The ministers saluted in unison.

"Excuse me, sit." Xiong Huai knelt on the throne and sat down in a strange voice.

Hearing that the voice of the King of Chu was different, the ministers couldn't help but feel strange, and quietly looked up at the King of Chu.

I saw that the King of Chu's eyes were red and swollen, and he was wiping his tears on his sleeves, but the tears could not be wiped away.

โ€œยทยทยทโ€ The ministers were stunned, at a loss, and they didn't know what was going on, especially some old ministers, but they knew that the king of Chu didn't cry so hard when his father King Chu Wei died.

What happened? King Chu, what's wrong?

I couldn't figure it out, so I had to kneel down again and say in unison: "The ministers are incompetent, and the ministers are capital crimes." โ€

"What is the crime of the princes?" Xiong Huai was a little proud in his heart, and when he saw that everyone lowered their heads and bowed to the ground, he felt a sense of pleasure in succeeding in his treacherous scheme.

It's just a little regret, ginger is used a little too much, and the tears are flowing, but I can't stop it...

At this time, Yin Zhaoyang once again became the representative of the ministers, straightened up, and asked the king of Chu: "King, I don't know what happened, so that I am so sad. โ€

Hearing Zhaoyang's inquiry, Xiong Huai immediately burst into tears and said, "Does Xianqing know Wei Meiren?" โ€

When the ministers below heard that the king of Chu was sad in Wei Meiren, they suddenly galloped in their hearts, what a lie this is, crying so much, we thought that the state of Chu was going to die...

"Ahem, ahem..." When Zhaoyang heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, he stood up while coughing, and said loudly: "The king, it's just a woman, the king is like this, where do you put me in Dachu, where do you put the ministers." โ€

Among the ministers present, Zhaoyang's seniority belonged to one of the oldest people, and his status was the highest, and when he saw the king of Chu crying for a woman, he immediately reprimanded him.

With Zhaoyang's reprimand, the ministers suddenly exploded, and there were many discussions, and for a while, the buzzing sound filled the hall, and what entered the ears was all the voice of the king of Chu.

"The king, please take the state of Chu as the priority, the society as the priority, and don't be so childlike." Guo Lao Zhaoyu followed and walked out.

Guolao is an honorary position in the state of Chu, which is generally held by Ling Yin after he leaves office. Zhaoyu is the former Ling Yin of the Chu State, and the Ling Yin after him is Zhaoyang. Because Zhaoyang was sharp, he was persuaded by Chen Zhen to draw a snake to add enough persuasion, and hid clumsiness, after Zhaoyu knew about it, he was silent for a long time, and then retreated by himself.

So now the state of Chu is qualified to be the king of Chu, and Zhaoyu is also counted as one.

The affairs of Wei Meiren are full of turmoil in Yingdu these days, although the ministers will not be as ignorant as the Chinese people, but the affairs between the King of Chu and Wei Meiren are still well understood.

Isn't it because Wei Meiren doesn't see you!

You said that you are a king of Chu, as the king of my Chu country, during the great court meeting, in front of the ministers, is it appropriate for you to cry like this?

Seeing that the tears of the King of Chu still couldn't be stopped, Zhaoyang immediately got up and took a few steps forward, bowed to the ground again, straightened his body, looked at the King of Chu, and said excitedly and firmly: "The king, Wei Meiren bewitches the king, and he should be punished according to the law, and the minister orders Yin Zhaoyang, please punish Wei Meiren and return the Chu country to Qingping." โ€
