Chapter 374: Indifference
The observation is extremely meticulous, the few people who spoke actually understood Yu Zhao's line from beginning to end, and almost all people with a slightly sensitive mind could perceive it, and if they didn't have ulterior motives, it would show that they cared too much about Yu Zhao's rich and noble pretend.
Because of this, these words came out of the mean mouths of Liu Zhaorong and others, and they clearly heard in their ears that they were sneering and sneering, and the next moment, somehow, inexplicably, let others taste a little bit of the meaning of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour.
The ladies at the banquet were not clumsy, and when they saw that this side suddenly became lively, they had no intention of eating, and they put the action of chopsticks to pick up the vegetables very slowly, and secretly concentrated their attention, watching the next direction of this movement in the hall, and carefully judging the nature of the upcoming incident, whether it was beneficial or harmful to their own family.
Knowing that Yu Zhao had been fully prepared to deal with this group of fuel-efficient lamps before he came, Chu Zikai didn't want to disrupt her plan rashly, pretending to be distracted and concerned about political affairs, chatting with Chu Ziyang attentively, pretending to ignore the gunpowder smoke that was secretly permeating the group of women next to him, and only left a little attention to worry about Yu Zhao's situation at any time, ready to help when she couldn't cope with it and fell behind.
The sour words spit out by the small fish and shrimp can't become any climate no matter how noisy they are, but Concubine Ling, a big fish, hasn't been caught yet, Yu Zhao doesn't plan to close the net, not only does he mean to rein in the high-profile, but even continues to show off, wanting to sour a few more teeth of Liu Zhaorong and others to relieve his anger, so he smiled at them provocatively:
"Your eyesight is good, this palace was born with good luck, thanks to the love of your grandfather and grandmother, and now you inherit the grace of your majesty, the things you have used since you were a child are indeed very few ordinary things."
Frankly and straightforwardly, all the ridicule was accepted as a well-intentioned envy, which caught the concubines off guard for a moment, and blocked their hearts a little, and Yu Zhao's rich and arrogant, they also saw it clearly, it was indeed the truth, therefore, although they acted according to the plan, the sourness that they couldn't control in their hearts was still enough for them to suffer a good pot.
But as soon as he thought that after the matter was completed, Yu Zhao's arrogant behavior was about to be accused and scolded by the people, Liu Zhaorong and several people forcibly swallowed the sour water, forced himself to take a few deep breaths, and temporarily could hold back the hatred caused by envy and jealousy, act calmly, and deliberately left a lot of room for the next people to play.
The first battle has begun, and the situation seems to be very smooth, Zhao Guiren then picked up the strength of his comrades, stretched his neck and looked at Yu Zhao's table, and asked suspiciously and worriedly: "Don't you plan to continue to use the meal on the table in front of Concubine Yi?" ”
"It's not to taste, and the palace can't use it,"
The fact is as said, while Yu Zhao followed the way of others and dug the pit, he did not lie with his conscience, he admitted it directly, turned to look at Zhao Guiren, and said indifferently: "It's not that Zhao Guiren wants to taste it, then take it over, don't be polite." ”
"What does Niangniang mean by this......" Zhao Guiren heard this, as if he was frightened, shrunk back, and said timidly: "The concubine just thinks that such a good meal will be poured in vain, which is really a pity, so I want to persuade the mother to use it more, that's all, why do you bother to use this to ridicule the concubine." ”
"Sarcasm? How could this palace ever mean to ridicule you, "She will pretend to be pitiful and weak, won't Yu Zhao pretend to be suspicious and innocent, so he asked her in a tone full of puzzlement:
"What Bengong said is also the truth, the dining room may have made a mistake in the busy today, and I didn't remember what the taste of the Qing Palace was, so I put such a heavy oil and salt in the dishes, but the palace has never liked the taste of heavy taste, I heard you say it's a pity, I just thought you liked it."
At this point, Yu Zhao glanced at Zhao Guiren up and down, saw that her face was full of astonishment, turned his head and snorted softly: "In this way, Zhao Guiren doesn't seem to like it very much, don't do to others what you don't want, it's a pity that these meals that don't suit your and my tastes are poured, and the most important thing is that this palace can take advantage of this to teach you this truth, so it's not a pity." ”
Touching a thorn in the head, Zhao Guiren was dumbfounded for a moment, and snorted his lips twice unconvinced, and finally took care of the idea of dignity and humility, and failed to come up with a beautiful word to fight back, hung his head and accepted defeat, honestly closed his mouth and didn't speak again.
"It's a pity that the food is poured, and it doesn't matter...... Concubine Yi, you are really wealthy, and the words you say are really light,"
successfully found a sentence that could provoke controversy as an entry point, Liu Zhaorong had smugness and contempt at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and after chuckling, he led to the most important point of tonight's game.
"It's just that I pity the thousands of victims in the cold winter wind in northern Xinjiang, who can't eat and have tattered clothes, and only hope that they will find a way to survive tomorrow, but they don't know that a piece of jewelry and clothes that Concubine Yi took out at random can be worth their food and clothing for a lifetime.
The indifference on Yu Zhao's face still did not subside at all, and he was alluded to as extravagant, but he didn't want to argue for himself, his tone was so ruthless that he didn't have a little human touch, and asked:
"No matter how valuable the clothes and jewelry are, they are all the palace's own things, follow the mind of the palace, do what you want, even if it is for fun, it is good to tear it and listen to a sound, what does it have to do with others? Liu Zhaorong didn't understand what this palace said, could it be that you were asking for help from the palace for the victims, but why did the palace have to take your own things to help them for no reason? ”
After saying this, the four sides suddenly quieted, everyone was stunned, to know the great Chu emperors of the past dynasties to govern the country, the first thing is that the country is people-oriented, what attitude the court makes towards the people, is to decide whether the foundation of a country is stable or not, Yu Zhao said such words, only full of selfishness, disdain to take into account the people's feelings, even the ministers couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it, and froze for a while.
"Forgive the ministers for their courage, if Concubine Yi has this heart, she is really too willful!"
The person who spoke out for the people to be righteous was Ling Feng, Concubine Ling's brother Ling Feng, he shook his sleeve and bowed his hand, and then righteously pointed to Yu Zhaodao:
"I believe that the monarch and the people can stabilize the foundation of the principle of the monarch and the people, and the monarch should be sympathetic to the people's feelings, so that he can be supported by all people with peace of mind, His Majesty is a wise king, presumably the suffering of the victims in northern Xinjiang is also pity, since Concubine Yi Niangniang bears the name of the royal wife and shares the offerings of the people with His Majesty, she should be of the same heart with Your Majesty, and have fraternity and sympathy for the victims, rather than making such a chilling and ruthless state."
