Chapter 197: The Target
For the annual event, the Chen Dynasty Palace also spent all its efforts on food arrangements, what flew in the sky, ran on the ground, swam in the water, all kinds of rare beasts, and delicacies were served in turn.
Even the concubines in the harem usually don't eat so well, they all shake off their cheeks and chew, and the princess of Jin Guo is afraid that her sister won't be able to grab the delicious food, so she sandwiched a few dishes for her. Now there is another plate of honey mutton, first help Chen Chuntang sandwich a piece, and was about to put it over, but found that the previous food on my sister's plate had not been touched at all.
"What's wrong Chuntang, are you not feeling well, do you want to find a doctor to show you?"
Chuntang grew up with his sister since he was a child, and the relationship is very good, but now when he hears the warm words of his family, his heart is sour, and he can't help but shed tears again.
"Oh sister, it's the New Year, what's wrong with you!"
Although the princess of the Jin Kingdom often came back after getting married, after all, she didn't see her in the palace as often as before, and Chen Chuntang went to Zhao Rui's side, the two hadn't seen each other for half a year, and now that her sister was emaciated, she seemed to have been wronged, not to mention how distressed she was, so she quickly wiped her tears with a silk scarf.
"Alas, what a wreck!"
Empress Tai was cried by Chen Chuntang, where could she eat, the chopsticks were thrown away, and they clanged on the dishes.
Originally, there were a group of concubines on the table with the mentality of watching the excitement, thinking that Chen Chuntang, the princess, was usually delicate, and it was not uncommon for her to be wronged after getting married, but the queen threw chopsticks, which one dared to eat again?
The queen didn't know the inside story, but just said that Chen Chuntang was wronged by Zhao Rui, and all the concubines at the table persuaded Chen Chuntang to be patient and to follow three virtues and so on.
Chen Chuntang couldn't help but shrug his shoulders even more when he remembered that she was living with Xia Guixian now, he Xia Guixian did have some money, but Chen Chuntang was a royal princess after all, and compared with before, the food and clothing were naturally one heaven and one underground, and Xia Guixian was now doing heavy work in the blacksmith shop, and when he went home, he was covered in stinky sweat, and he had no status, so Chen Chuntang felt even more aggrieved.
If you stay in Jiaozhi, like my sister, and marry a general, it will be a hundred times better than the days with Xia Guixian!
By the way, now the only one who can help herself is my sister, the rules of the Chen Dynasty, women are not allowed to discuss politics, so naturally I can't say anything to Zhao Rui, the identity of the prince, but my sister's husband is a general in the court, he will definitely be able to help!
Chen Chuntang raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and said to the princess of Jinguo: "Sister, can you call my brother-in-law to talk, I really don't want to go back!" If I have to go back, I'll ...... I'd rather die! ”
Chen Chuntang's words were extremely serious, the queen instantly turned cold, and the concubines on the table also covered their mouths in surprise, resisting to the death in this way must have suffered an inhuman encounter.
Alas, Zhao Rui looked at his dignified appearance, but he didn't expect to treat his wife so that he could make life loveless!
At this time, the princess of the Jin Kingdom also knew the seriousness, suddenly got up, dropped the chopsticks and picked up the wine glass and went to Zhao Rui's table.
"King of the Northeast, Zhao Rui!"
The princess of the Jin Kingdom slammed the wine glass on the table, startling everyone.
"Zhao Rui, are you great if you are the prince of the Song Dynasty? Let me tell you, our people in the Chen Dynasty are not easy to bully! ”
The princess of the Jin Kingdom played brute in public, and Yao Xianchi was so shocked that she hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was going on.
"It's all him, bullying my sister, making her cry and cry during the New Year! And Chuntang said that she didn't want to go back with Zhao Rui, otherwise she would rather die! Tell me, Zhao Rui, what did he bully my sister into, who gave him the guts! ”
Originally, Yao Xianchi had thoughts about Chen Chuntang, but now that she heard that she had been wronged, she was not calm down.
"Zhao Rui, why do you treat Chuntang like this, she is the most beautiful princess in our Jiaozhi, and now she is married to you, you still don't cherish it so much! Say! Why are you! ”
As soon as he said this, the people at the table looked at Zhao Rui, and their faces were not good!
He is a Song person, bullying us princess of the Chen Dynasty, is he too indifferent to us?
Zhao Rui was helpless for a while, this Yao Xianchi didn't know what happened, and he pretended to be from above to ask for guilt, which was really disgusting.
It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!
"It's your business!" Zhao Rui said impatiently.
"I ...... You! ”
This is simply a naked provocation!
Yao Xianchi had never been looked down upon so much, and his blood rushed to his brain, and he swooped over to give Zhao Rui some color to see.
However, some guards on both sides had already discovered that something was wrong, and brawls were forbidden in the palace, so Yao Xianchi was stopped halfway.
"Let go...... Let me go! I'm going to dismantle him today......"
The people next to him also noticed the abnormality, and they all looked over, only to see Yao Xianchi, who was pulled by the two guards, with a red face and a thick neck, shouting and scolding, and no demeanor, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, Yao Xianchi is a strategist, he has always been good at intelligence, and everyone is a wise man's demeanor, what is wrong today, how can he be angry with Zhao Rui?
The people in the entire compound were shocked by Yao Xianchi's roar, Chen Jiong was eating and drinking happily, and he didn't know who was so short-sighted, so he frowned and asked, "What's so noisy!" ”
The emperor asked, Zhao Rui's table is silent, who is qualified to discuss the emperor's family affairs?
In the end, Chen Zhenhu looked left and right, stood up with an iron tower-like body, and hummed: "It's my brother-in-law who can't get used to my brother-in-law bullying my sister-in-law, and I can't fight it!" ”
Because of the distance, Chen Jiong saw clearly that it was Zhao Rui and Yao Xianchi, as well as the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and his heart suddenly tightened, they didn't know the inside story, they were afraid that things would be worse......
Chen Zhenhu is a rough man, and others don't care about it, but his words are not rough, and he can let the big guy understand what is going on in one sentence.
Treating the princess badly is indeed the emperor's family matter, and others have no right to talk about it, but Zhao Rui is a Song person, and he also has the identity of the prince of the Song Dynasty, and now that the matter is on the bright side, it is no longer as simple as the emperor's family affairs, this is Zhao Rui is not satisfied with the emperor's favor, and the way he treats the princess also means that his attitude towards Jiaozhi is a problem! Why should a person who looks down on Jiaozhi be the prince of Jiaozhi?
And what kind of ability is a man bullying a woman, and Chen Chuntang is the most beautiful princess in the dynasty, who doesn't treat her as a fairy, and now she is bullied by Zhao Rui, this is simply unbearable for everyone!
Zhao Rui suddenly became a disloyal and unrighteous person in the hearts of everyone, and they couldn't imagine why the Emperor Taishang wanted to give him the identity of the prince, which was simply a big mistake!
"Hmph, I even want to fight you! People like you, I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty! Chen Zhenhu has an upright personality and first despised Zhao Rui.
"It's just that the princess made the mistake first."
Zhao Rui spread his hands and said, at this time, Zhao Rui also understood that Chen Chuntang might have deliberately arranged it, and he would go around her life that day, but he didn't expect that now because of her, he has become the target of public criticism. But Zhao Rui is not ready to explain in detail, after all, in feudal society, a woman's chastity is more important than her life.
"Mistakes or something! If a woman makes a mistake, can't you, a big man, forgive! Is it such a small belly chicken intestine? ”
Yao Xianchi was still saying angrily, Zhao Rui's face had turned cold, and the entire Jiaozhi people at the banquet were looking at Zhao Rui with hatred.
The Emperor Taishang was afraid that Zhao Rui would be mad on the spot, so he said something that shouldn't be said, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, all retreat!" I'll take care of this after the feast, so you don't care! ”
Although the Emperor Taishang spoke, all the ministers in Jiaozhi stopped doing it, and now they feel that Zhao Rui has insulted the entire Chen Dynasty, and they have stood up and prepared to speak.
"Emperor Taishang, the Angkor Dynasty has sent an envoy to ask for a meeting outside the palace!" At this time, a guard hurriedly ran forward and said.
Hey? What did the Angkor envoys do at this time?
Everyone was surprised, because Angkor was now the main belligerent, so everyone put Zhao Rui's matter aside first.
"Emperor Taishang, we have been at war with Angkor for several years, and there is nothing to talk about, so let's not see each other!"
Another minister held the opposite opinion: "Emperor Taishang, today is when the Manchu Dynasty is full of civil and military affairs, it is better to meet the envoy of the Angkor Dynasty, so that he can see how strong our Great Chen Dynasty is!" ”
Zhao Rui was a little surprised, it was the first time to see the strange political situation of Emperor Taishang, seeing that the emperor Chen Xuan was sitting like a puppet, everything was decided by his father, and he didn't have a fart, what was the point of such an emperor?
In the end, the minister's proposal reached Chen Jiong's heart, that's right, it is to let the people of Angkor see that our Chen Dynasty is not so easy to deal with!
"Let him in!" Chen Jiong said leisurely.
"Spread the Angkor envoy to the audience~" The news shouted and passed on.
When a foreign envoy came, Chen Jiong and Chen Xuan were all dressed and had solemn faces, and even the officials underground straightened their waists, not wanting to lose face in front of outsiders.
A moment later, the two messengers of Angkor walked into the banquet and came to Chen Jiong.
Both of them are dressed in short-sleeved shorts, baggy, one in front is black and thin, and the other in the back looks burly and muscular, not like an official.
The two of them first folded their hands in salute, Zhao Rui could just see them on the side, and when he saw their fingertips casually raised to their noses, they hurriedly put them down, obviously showing no respect for the Jiaozhi royal family.
At this time, the Angkor Dynasty advocated Buddhism, and when their fingertips were over their eyebrows, they were showing respect, and the nose was more common among their peers, but they were so perfunctory, obviously they didn't take Chen Jiong seriously.
"Sihamoni, the envoy of the Angkor dynasty, has seen the Emperor, the Emperor."
"Well...... Our two countries have been at war for a long time, what is worth discussing? ”
Chen Jiong saw that the envoy's attitude was a little unhappy, and he didn't give him any good face, and asked coldly.
"Hehe, it's because we've been fighting for a long time, so I'm here to settle disputes!" Sihamoni looked confident.
