The meaning of these words is obvious, we are working for King Su, we only listen to King Su's orders, and the emperor doesn't listen to the emperor's words, not to mention that you are a military secretary, so leave as soon as possible.

"You ......" Qi Tai was angry, pointing at the chief of the guard with his finger, blowing his beard and glaring, with the intention of finding someone to fight alone. Since he was appointed as the secretary of the military department, all the generals and generals have been polite to him, and no Qiu Ba has dared to speak to him like this, so it is no wonder that he is angry.

At this time, the old servant hurriedly walked over, pulled the placket of Lazitai's clothes, glanced at him, and then whispered in his ear: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and please put the overall situation first, think twice before acting." ”

Qi Tai is usually used to commanding in front of the military attaché, and was suddenly choked by a small chief of the guard, and his anger was difficult to calm down for a long time, but he is a person who has gone through a lot of things, and he will not lose his mind because of this little thing, knowing that if he gets involved with this chief of guard, it will not only damage his official prestige, but also leave a bad impression on King Su, which can be described as a hundred harms and no benefits, and finally decided to compromise with reality, angrily waved his sleeves, left a sentence of "hum", and returned to the post house with a group of servants.

The head of the guard looked at the back of Qi Tai and the others in the distance, and a cold snort also came out of his nose, obviously not very dumped by this Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War, in their eyes, Su Guo is actually not the same system as the Ming Dynasty, their king has his own set of official systems, and plays to control the life and death of Su officials, in the final analysis, their fate is in the hands of King Su, not the emperor and the court, what is his military department Shangshu? Dare to dictate in front of them?

Qi Tai touched a nose of ash, his heart was very unhappy, after returning to the post house, the boss lost his temper, so that the servants did not dare to approach him, and then began to calm down by practicing words, but it was difficult to calm down the surging anger in his heart, and he wrote several bad words in a row, and finally gave up the pen and did not practice.

Zhu Ao really lay down with his wife Sun Yunqi for a whole day, hungry and thirsty, Tingwei and others delivered food, which was more convenient than ordering takeout.

Qi Tai was sulking in the post house for a day, and he was very aggrieved in comparison, but he was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he refused to stop, and decided to continue to enter the palace to meet him the next day, and strive to complete this terrible errand and leave Suguo as soon as possible.

The next day, Qi Tai took a sedan chair to the gate of the palace again, saw the chief guard again, walked down from the sedan chair, and said with a very ugly face: "This official wants to see King Su today, you go in and report." ”

As soon as the chief of the guard heard him say this, he was upset in his heart, and you said that you must see him? glanced at him, and said angrily: "The king has important business today, and he can't meet your lord today, please go back." ”

There was arrogance on his face and tone.

Qi Tai was really angry, no matter how good his temper was, as a second-grade senior soldier of the military department, he couldn't help but be angry when he was given a face by this junior colonel one after another, and suddenly pulled out a roll of yellow holy decrees from his sleeve, shook it at the junior colonel, and shouted: "Look at what this is?" This official is ordered to meet King Su to discuss major affairs in the court, as long as King Su still recognizes himself as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he should let this official in. What do you mean by obstruction? Is it because you want to resist the decree and not want the will of the imperial court to be conveyed to the vassal king? Do you want to sow discord and plot against it? ”

The chief of the guard became anxious when he heard this, these scholars are too good at making up charges for people, and it is really ruthless enough to say that such a thing is a conspiracy, and he was anxious when he landed, and said, "Lord Qi, how can you talk like this?" Are those charges casual? ”

Qi Tai ignored his attitude, still with a tiger face, and said very toughly: "Isn't it right? Do you want to go to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to ask? The official told you that the official sent an envoy to the country this time, and in addition to the holy decree, the emperor also gave Shang Fang a sword, do you want the official to take it out and open your eyes? ”

At this moment, the little colonel who was the gatekeeper was completely stunned, although he hadn't read any books, but he still read a lot of dramas, Shang Fang's sword was famous, and the Sanpin master said that he would kill him, killing him as a guard chief, wasn't it like pinching an ant to death?

Although, this is in the country of Su, it is the territory of King Su, but in the final analysis, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the King of Su is still a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and the sword of Shang Fang is still cutting him, even if he is killed by Qi Tai with the sword of Shang Fang, King Su will break with the court for his little-known pawn and avenge him? No kidding, his head is worth a few dollars, and he still knows it in his heart.

It is true that you must be loyal to the king on an errand and duty, but you can't take your life, and there are still wives and young children at home, if you die, who will feed them? Then it will be someone else's, so he put away his previous arrogance and said curtly: "Lord Qi, wait a while, the villain will go and report to you again." ”

Qi Tai snorted coldly, put his hands behind his head and stopped talking, full of spirit, and his official authority leaked. The little colonel turned around and walked to the palace and went to ask Zhu Ao for instructions.

After a while, the little colonel returned to the door, although his face did not have the previous arrogance, but there was no flattery, and he said nonchalantly: "Lord Qi, please, the king is waiting for you in the back garden." ”

Qi Tai snorted coldly, proudly put his hands on his shoulders, and said in his heart that he had really bullied the soft and feared the hard in these years, and even this little colonel who was guarding the door was so powerful, and he also said expressionlessly: "Lead the way ahead." ”

The little colonel didn't answer, turned around, and walked towards the place where Zhu Ao was. Qi Tai was still thinking about his rhetoric on the road, hoping to say it in the most gentle tone, so that Zhu Ao could accept it, who knew that he was completely dumbfounded when he arrived at the place - Zhu Ao was already drunk, with two women in his arms, and two women kneeling at his feet to beat his legs. In addition, there is a group of dancing girls wearing revealing clothes, and they are dancing all kinds of erotic dances, which are very sultry, this kind of glamorous dance Qi Tai has also seen in the capital, and it is clearly the dance of the women in the venue opened by King Su there.

Where is this attitude of receiving the envoy of the imperial court, it is clearly a faint king, a faint monarch.

Qi Tai was dumbfounded, looking at Zhu Ao's appearance, he didn't know what to say, although Zhu Ao was not his monarch, but out of the Confucian education he received in his bones, he was still very indignant at Zhu Ao's behavior, but he didn't know what to say? I was stunned for a while, and stood in place for a long time before I remembered to salute Zhu Ao, and then very reluctantly knelt on the ground and buckled my head, and said loudly: "Chen Qitai pays a visit to His Royal Highness King Su, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." There was obvious emotion in his tone.

Zhu Ao had already drunk in a daze, his brain was very excited by the alcohol, and he was enjoying this song and dance of the warbler, when he was a beautiful winemaker, he felt a tone of anger and unwillingness in his ears, and subconsciously raised his drunken and hazy eyes to look in the direction where the voice came from, and found that Qi Tai was kneeling there straight, and his face was immediately replaced with a pleasant expression, and said, "Yes, Lord Qi." What wind is blowing you? Come on, give Lord Qi a seat, add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and the widow wants to get drunk with Lord Qi before resting. ”

Qi Tai saw Zhu Ao like this, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to listen to his decree, but he still wanted to give it a try, drag it today, drag it tomorrow, who knows how long he will drag it to be a head, stay here for one more day, it will be more dangerous, you must find a way to leave quickly, maybe he drank high, and he accidentally agreed, stood up, bowed his hand to Zhu Ao, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." If you have to report to Your Highness. As he spoke, he took out a holy decree from his arms, held it with both hands respectfully, and said to Zhu Ao very secretly: "This is the will drawn up by the emperor and Lord Fang Xiaoru, and I ordered the ministers to send it to His Royal Highness for a look." ”

Zhu Aoren was not drunk, hearing his words, he subconsciously let out a sneer in his heart, it seems that Qi Tai is also afraid of death, this is easy to do, the most afraid of the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, then this matter is still very tricky, he has been thinking hard for many days The countermeasures are difficult to play, deliberately pretending to be very impatient, waving his big hand, burping, and drunkenly said: "Hey, Lord Qi." The widow is on the rise, why do you have to sweep away the interest of the widow? We'll talk about it tomorrow, and now you'll sit down and drink with the widow. In addition, enjoy the dance music, this is an exotic style that you don't usually see, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, liked it very much. The widow believes that you will fall in love with them too. ”

Qi Tai was speechless for a while, he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, he didn't plan to give in to Zhu Ao, he finally came in, how can he get this done today, and he gave Zhu Ao a salute, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister has the emperor's order, please forgive Your Highness, or please ask Your Highness to accept the decree first." ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Zhu Ao's heart, and a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he said with a drunken voice: "The widow doesn't want to talk about business today, he just wants to talk about Fengyue, if Lord Qi wants to stay and drink, the widow will come up with the best to entertain you." If you're talking about business, please come back another day. After that, he hugged his beloved concubine Lan Youcheng and listened fiercely, looking like a faint king.

"Your Highness, how can you delay state affairs for the sake of beauty." Qi Tai saw Zhu Ao's virtue, and suddenly felt five thunders, how could he never have thought that Zhu Ao, the famous Su King who had become famous over the years, would actually be this virtuous, isn't this a typical faint monarch? How is it possible to lay down thousands of miles of land? I guess someone will destroy it.

Who knew that Zhu Ao didn't pay attention to him anymore, but just put one arm around Dai Yuzhu, and one arm around Lan Youcheng and let the two beauties pour him wine and drink, and Abi Luo and Kunsha, who were kneeling under him, also smiled and massaged him while feeding him fruits.

Seeing this scene, Qi Tai knew that he could only be bored if he went on like this, so he immediately put away the holy decree, bowed deeply to Zhu Ao, and said, "The minister does not disturb His Highness, and the minister retires." ”

Zhu Ao still ignored him, just drank and played with women by himself, Qi Tai saw this, he could only retreat, and under the guidance of the eunuch, he returned to the palace gate along the same road.

"Is he gone?" Zhu Ao held a beautiful woman in one hand, reclined on the throne, and saw that the eunuch who had sent Qi Tai had returned, and said with drunken eyes.

The eunuch made a gesture to Zhu Ao, and said in a shrill voice, very respectfully: "Return to the king, go." ”

Zhu Ao let out a cold snort in his nose, and teased at the four women who were serving him: "Come, come." Let's keep playing, and don't let that person ruin our interest. The widow's interest today is very good, don't leave the four of you, the widow will clean you up one by one today. ”

These words caused all the women to laugh and fight, but they were not the people who brought disaster to the country and the people, but people who sincerely hoped that King Su would be good.

Concubine Dai Yuzhu, who had followed Zhu Ao for the longest time, said to Zhu Ao with a worried face: "Lord, after all, Qi Tai is the Qincha of the imperial court, is it really good not to meet him?" ”

Zhu Ao put his right hand around Dai Yuzhu's small waist, and suddenly felt a soft and smooth surge all over his body, and couldn't help pinching it on it, causing the other party to snort softly, and smiled evilly: "Don't worry, what you little girl can think of, your prince can't think of it?" The widow must have summoned him, but now is not the time. Because the preparations he had given him had not yet been made.

Zhu Ao thought that Qi Tai would break into the palace to meet him today, so he deliberately made a ridiculous appearance to show him, the purpose was to drag him down, so that he would not be able to open his mouth to speak today, so as to gain time for his preparation.

This trick is not his originality, he learned it from the later Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao likes to be a carpenter, this is something everyone knows, but it's not a big deal, who doesn't have a personal hobby of their own? Zhu Yuanzhang likes prostitution, Ming Xuanzong likes fighting crickets, don't they all do it well?

Who stipulated that the emperor could only listen to the lectures of those Confucian ministers and talk about chicken soup every day, except for watching the recitals in the court? They are also human beings, and it is not a big deal to have a little bit of their own personal hobbies, as long as they don't interfere with their normal work.

In the history books recorded in the Ming Dynasty Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao is a faint monarch who affects normal work because of personal hobbies, it has been recorded many times in the history books that when Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party fought, Yang Lian and others entered the palace many times to find Zhu Youxiao, asking Zhu Youxiao to preside over justice, at that time Zhu Youxiao was a carpenter and did not deal with Yang Lian and other Donglin Party members, and finally caused Wei Zhongxian to become more and more arrogant, and the Donglin Party was finally defeated, laying the root of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
