Chapter 128 Good News~!
Chu Yun didn't care about this, it was not the first time he had met the second aunt who was not easy to get along with, and he could understand the resentment and dissatisfaction of the other party, after all, he was nominally the grandson of the Chu family, the only seedling of the long house, and the fire and theft prevention of the long house, in those big families with two and three rooms, this is a truth that must be adhered to.
Today's Chu family, there are a lot of unfamiliar faces, the old lady's 60th birthday is a very important day, in addition to close relatives and friends, those distant relatives who can only play eight poles will also come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.
Because at this time, most people's life expectancy is relatively short, and living to the age of 60 is already a big earning, such as 60 birthdays, 70 birthdays, such special birthdays, big families will do a big deal.
The mansion was busy up and down, like the New Year, so Chu Yun seemed extraordinarily idle.
In addition to copying scriptures every day, going to Li Xuan to watch her fly a kite when she was tired, and putting forward a few more constructive opinions by the way, most of the time I spent fighting with Yan Chuchu and the landlord.
Of course, two people can't play, and the equally boring little fat man was caught.
Yan Chuchu's luck lost on mahjong was all recovered here, and the little fat man's snacks had lost a lot, and half of the silver that Chu Yun brought from Qingsujiang Mansion had already entered her pocket.
Whenever Chu Yun loses miserably and wants to end, she will suddenly have the idea of taking the test for his kung fu, and the game can continue.
As for the little fat man, it's even simpler.
After Yan Chuchu taught him a few simple moves, the little fat man didn't feel sorry for his snacks, and even took out the treasured good things, that is, after testing the power of those moves, he was found by the parents of other juniors in the house, and he could only lie on his stomach when he played cards the next day.
"Big brother, what kind of birthday gift do you think I should prepare for my grandmother~?" The little fat man said while rubbing his ass while lying on the soft collapse.
The little fat man has been messing around with Chu Yun recently, and he is used to letting him make up ideas for himself.
Chu Yun said while sorting out the cards in his hand: "As long as you don't think about giving your treasured preserves and pastries, anything~." ”
"Why~?" was guessed what he thought, the little fat man raised his head and looked at Chu Yun with wide eyes: "My mother said, the gift should be ingenious~." ”
After being reminded by the little fat man, Chu Yun remembered that as the eldest grandson, he also had to prepare gifts for the old lady, and he couldn't afford things that were too valuable, and those that were too cheap were insincere, so he had to think about it.
When Chu Yun was thinking about this, Yan Chuchu made a vague gesture with one hand, and the little fat man quietly handed over a card to .......
------
------
In the morning, Chu Yun couldn't even afford cheap gifts.
After borrowing dozens of taels of silver from Yan Chuchu and setting up a note that he would return double after he went back, his waist bag swelled up a little.
The little fat man followed him like a fart, and promised that when the little fat man went to Li Xuan's mansion this time, he would let him fly on the kite for a while.
A horse galloped from behind, Chu Yun hurriedly pulled the little fat man to dodge, watching the knight in armor gallop past, and soon disappeared from sight, leaving only a messy street and the sound of pedestrians scolding.
The next time we see you again, it is necessary to remind Her Royal Highness that this kind of unscrupulous behavior in the downtown should also be controlled.
"Get out of the way~, get out of the way~!"
In the place where Chu Yun couldn't see, he immediately looked tired, and it seemed that the man who hadn't closed his eyes for a few days and nights shouted in a hoarse voice and went straight to the palace gate.
At this time, on the Jinluan Palace, the early dynasty, which had ended long ago, had been delayed for more than an hour.
When today's son sat on the dragon chair, his face was gloomy, the voice above the court was noisy, and the civil and military officials were arguing about something.
"Your Majesty~, the minister impeached the envoys of the State of Chu for being bold and reckless, wantonly riding horses in the city, hitting and injuring several people, and I implore Your Majesty to deal with it according to the law~!" A young official held a wat board and stepped forward to speak.
The noisy voice in the court paused, and everyone looked at the young imperial history like fools, in the end, it was a young man, although the imperial history did this kind of thing, but it also had to divide time and occasion, and now it is talking about the wanton arson of the envoys of the Chu State~?
No one cared about the young imperial history, and an old man stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty~, the minister thinks that it is okay to cede the land of a city to save the people of my frontier from being ruined and reduce the casualties of the soldiers~." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal~!"
"The minister seconded the proposal~!"
------
------
As soon as the old man's voice fell, several more people stepped forward to express their support.
"Put your mother's stinky fart, every inch of land in Xia Kingdom was beaten down by the soldiers who threw their heads and spilled their blood, and if he wanted it, he would do it with them with real knives and guns, afraid of a ball~!"
"The shit-like envoy should be dragged out and chopped, it's really a soft persimmon when we Xia Kingdom~!"
"Your Majesty~, give the old minister 100,000 elite soldiers, and the Chu thief who will definitely be able to kill will not be left behind~!"
Seeing that the court was like a vegetable market, and the first-class officials were scolding like shrews, Emperor Xia rubbed his eyebrows, and when he looked at the envoys of Qi below, his face was even more gloomy.
The civil and military officials argued endlessly, and the faces of the envoys of the Chu State always had a look of arrogance.
In terms of national strength, Chu is a well-deserved overlord, although the Li royal family has also prospered for a time and created a prosperous era for all states to come, but that is already a matter of the previous dynasty.
As an envoy of the State of Chu, no matter what country he is in, he can straighten his back.
"The minister has something to say~." At that moment, another man stepped forward.
The voice of the crowd arguing was a little weaker, just because the person who stood up was the new Jingzhao Yin Dong Zhao, and his words played a pivotal role in the current situation.
"What is Dong Aiqing's opinion~?" Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows and said.
Dong Zhao said solemnly: "Where I am in the land of Xia Kingdom, every inch of land will be contested, and the ancestral teachings left by Gaozu cannot be changed~." ”
Dong Zhao stepped aside after only saying a word, but directly stated his position.
Above the court, many people's brows furrowed.
Dong Zhao was born in the Han Dynasty and did not belong to any faction above the court, but now that he showed his attitude, he stood on the opposite side of the Shouhe faction.
The old man with a white beard said: "The army of Chu is strong, if it continues like this, it will be unfavorable to my Xia country, and now the treasury is declining, it is difficult to continue, if the war continues, I don't know how many soldiers will scatter their wives, please think twice~!" ”
"~, the heart of the tiger and wolf of Chu State, the first time you give in, there will be a second time, what are you going to do then, continue to retreat~?" A veteran said angrily.
In a few words, the court has a tendency to develop into a vegetable market.
Emperor Xia could not hide the disappointment on his face, there were countless Chinese military officials, and there were countless extraordinary talents, but when he encountered real trouble, no one could solve his worries.
As Dong Zhao said, Gaozu Zuxun cannot be abolished, how majestic is the former Tang Li clan, a command, all countries are not satisfied, when will this scene be realized in his hands?
Coughed dryly twice, his chest began to feel a little stuffy again, seeing the situation below, Emperor Xia inevitably felt pathos in his heart, his asthma became more and more serious, and there was really not much time left for himself.
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the palace gate, and a few flashes of kung fu appeared beside Emperor Xia.
Ji Xiang whispered a few words in Emperor Xia's ear, Emperor Xia raised his head violently, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Really~? ”
Ji Xiang hurriedly nodded and said: "The messenger has been traveling for several days, delivering good news, and after entering the palace, he passed out, and has already asked the people from the Imperial Doctor's Department to come over." ”
He quickly took out an object from his arms, sent it to Emperor Xia, and said: "This is good news, the fire paint is intact, please take a look~." ”
When the good news arrived in Emperor Xia's hands, he couldn't help but open it and cast his gaze.
"Good~! All right~! After quickly browsing the contents of the letter, and seeing the general's seal at the end, Emperor Xia slapped the table violently, laughed and said a few good words.
The civil and military officials raised their heads one after another, not knowing what happy events had happened, so that His Majesty could still be so happy at such a critical juncture.
"Although you are an envoy of the Chu State, but in the territory of my Xia Kingdom, you must follow the laws of my Xia Kingdom, and this matter will be handed over to Dali Temple to handle and act according to the law~!" Emperor Xia stood up, looked at the young imperial history who had just spoken and asked, "What's your name~?" ”
The young Yushi had been scolded by his own Shangguan just now, and he hadn't come to his senses at this time, and when he heard His Majesty's question, he was stupid for a while.
"Your Majesty asked~, don't answer quickly~!" An old man beside him gently tugged at his sleeve, but he was full of doubts in his heart, His Majesty asked Dali Temple to deal with this case, which meant that he would severely punish the envoys of the Chu State, but the strange thing was that he had selectively ignored this matter just now, why ...... now.
"Wechen Wei Ke." The young imperial history hurriedly said.
"Very good~! As the imperial historian, he is in charge of supervising the affairs and should be fair and law-abiding ....... ”
Seeing that His Majesty avoided saying anything about the top priority discussed recently, but praised a small imperial history, they couldn't help but be puzzled, what kind of style did Your Majesty smoke ------~?
The envoy of the Chu State was even more pale, and he didn t know why things had taken a sharp turn, what did the old man show Emperor Xia just now, could it be .......
"Impossible~, this is absolutely impossible......" When he thought like this in his heart, the palace guards had already received a signal and took him down.
"Your Majesty~, the status of the envoy is special, and you must not ......." The envoy represents the face of a country, His Majesty disposed of the envoy of Chu because of a trivial matter, there is the face of Chu State, an old minister's face changed, and he was about to speak, Emperor Xia waved his hand impatiently, and said: "The border pass is a great victory, my Xia State sergeant, defeated the Chu army of 150,000, killed 50,000 enemies, captured 20,000, the rest are all embarrassed and fled, the general Yuan Bu took advantage of the victory to pursue, has captured three cities in a row....... ”
When Emperor Xia said this, the faces of the ministers in the court changed, and they were stunned.
The first thought that comes to their minds is unbelief~!
When did the invincible Chu army become so vulnerable, the Xia State not only won, but also a big victory, capturing three cities in a row, is the army defending the city of Chu dry~? How the hell did they do it~?
How could the hundred officials not understand the strength of the Xia army, this is not in line with common sense at all~!
Not to mention Wenchen, even the generals don't believe it~!
At this time, whether it is the main peace or the main battle faction, everyone thinks like this in their hearts------ Your Majesty is not joking~?
But even the most mediocre emperor wouldn't joke about this kind of thing~!
