Chapter 61: The Imperial Struggle

"Such an obvious substitute exam, you can still use it as a favor in an open and honest manner, your abacus is playing loudly!" Jiuzun leaned to the side and said coldly.

"It's okay, Si Luo has a smart mind, during his recuperation, I have someone there to do homework with him every day, and his literary talent and strategy will definitely live up to the title of champion." Hua Zhinian still smiled gently, but although he responded to Jiuzun's words, he kept facing Wu Jinghong.

Wu Jinghong's eyes wandered, looked back and forth, and suddenly smiled, "I know the kindness of senior brother, but I still want to ask Si Luo what he means." ”

Si Luo raised his head, the gaze that was always a little tyrannical in the past was now cold and deep, "It is a blessing for me to be able to serve His Majesty the Cloud Emperor!" ”

"Actually, it was his will from the beginning." Hua Zhiqing sighed, "He said that he admired the prestige of King Shura, and he only wanted to follow him to become the god of battlefield killing, and then he could lead a thousand troops to level the country of Ju and destroy the Sima family." ”

This adds a bit of credibility. Wu Jinghong nodded, "Since it is everyone's common wish, then I will thank Senior Brother." Si Luo, if you enter my Yunguo court, I am afraid that I will have to work a lot from now on. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will do their best for the great cause of Yunguo, and they will die!"

After chatting with Hua Zhinian for a few more words, someone quietly ran from the depths of the alley and said something in Hua Zhinian's ear.

Hua Zhinian's face did not change, he raised his eyes and still smiled at the dance, his voice was clear, "It seems that I can't stay in Yun Guochang, it's just that when the fifth senior sister ascended the throne, the senior brother didn't come in time to celebrate, and now I will give you a gadget as a gift, don't dislike it." ”

Saying that, Hua Zhinian took out a piccolo from his sleeve, only the size of a palm, the whole was crystal clear, Wu Jinghong smiled, and was about to reach out to pick it up, who knew that Hua Zhinian put the flute on his lips, and the flute sound was light and short.

"Hey, what you've used can still be given as a congratulatory gift? I've never seen Hua Shao so stingy! Jiuzun interjected on the side again, as if he was looking at Hua Zhinian unpleasantly.

Hua Zhinian smiled silently, and after a while, there was a crisp birdsong in mid-air, as if responding to the sound of the flute, as light and beautiful.

"This is ......" Wu Jinghong looked at the emerald green bird with a long crown in surprise and landed on Hua Zhinian's shoulder without hesitation, "Tongue bird? ”

"Yes, it is not uncommon to learn tongue birds, this one is expensive in aura." Hua Zhinian smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, and the bird jumped onto the back of his hand, standing obediently, only occasionally tilting his head, and looking at Wu Jinghong with clever eyes.

"I heard that the Tongue Bird has been a pair since birth, and the two cannot be easily separated, how can it be a single one?"

"I don't know, I picked it up near the Holy Medicine Mountain, used the sound of the flute as bait, and it followed me." Hua Zhinian took out another piccolo, "The flute is nothing special, if it is broken, it can be replaced." Go back and figure out the flute yourself, it's very easy to train. ”

Xu is by nature, Wu Jinghong likes this well-behaved and smart bird very much, so he doesn't shirk it, stretches out his hand, and the tongue bird looks at her again, and obediently jumps on the back of her hand.

"The willow and the east wind tree, the green and green clip the royal car." Wu Jinghong raised his eyes and looked around, the willows at the entrance of the alley were green, and the carriage stopped under the willows, but it set off a good scene. The tongue bird jumped and landed on her shoulder along her arm, "From now on, you will be called Qingqing!" ”

"Qingqing~Qingqing~"

Qingqing was like a child and read his name over and over again in different tones, while still jumping around on his shoulders, very happy.

"Thank you, brother."

"It's just an ordinary bird, and I hope that with its company, even if you are in a high position, you will not feel lonely." Hua Zhinian smiled softly and turned around slowly, "Fifth Senior Sister, since then, I am afraid it will be difficult to reunite." If the world is peaceful, don't forget to go back to the Holy Doctor Mountain to see the master. ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, the master has the grace of reinvention for me, and Xiao Wu will not be ungrateful." Wu Jinghong said solemnly, "As long as the state affairs take a break, I will go to visit the master." ”

"That's good." Hua Zhinian nodded, turned his back completely, and put down his footsteps as soon as he lifted them, "Oh, I forgot His Royal Highness the Shura King of Shuo Kingdom, it would be okay if you could stay here and help your junior sister sincerely, if you have a trace of insincerity-"

Jiuzun raised his chin and stared impatiently, Hua Zhinian squinted his eyes sideways, and his clear voice became a little heavy for a while, "If you hurt her a point, I will pay you back for a lifetime of suffering!" ”

Wu Jinghong had already turned around and teased Qingqing to get into the carriage, Jiuzun turned around and took a look, and when he turned back again, he had a fierce face, "You are just an outsider, I want you to be nosy!" Just your broken bird, I'll roast it for you when this king returns! ”

Hua Zhinian stopped talking, stared at him heavily, and quickly floated away with light skills.

"Humph!" Jiuzun spat at Hua Zhinian's back, "You just sent a broken bird, but this king personally took her to Gu and promised her!" Even if you remember kindness, you can't remember it! ”

It's just that Jiuzun felt bad when he came back to his senses, Hua Zhinian is now the prince of Huaguo, but he only has two empty titles, one is the powerless and powerless Shura King of Shuo Kingdom, who can only be admired by tens of thousands of people, and the other is the silver medal guard in front of the palace of Yunguo, although he is a high-ranking person from the second grade, he can't even use his real name!

No, he can't do this anymore and wait until Hua Zhinian ascends the throne in the country of flowers!

The flood in Huaizhou is now a topic that the imperial court must discuss every day, and more than a month after Huo Qiu received the order, some people began to play, saying that Huo Qiu had secretly swallowed the food raised by the imperial court, and now Huaizhou has been chaotic.

"Your Majesty, not to mention that Huaizhou is greedy for food, but also uses power to suppress people, this is the excerpt and evidence sent back by the Huaizhou Prefecture Governor overnight, I hope Your Majesty will eliminate harm for the people as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, the flood in Huaizhou has reached the point of being out of control, and it is difficult for Huaizhou to go this time, and the minister thinks that the ministers are far away in the imperial capital and do not know the situation in Huaizhou, so it is better not to jump to conclusions."

Some people criticize, and naturally some people refute it. Huo Qiu is a cautious person, he has been an official for so many years, although he is full of ambitions, he is not exposed in this court at all, it is his family, I am afraid that he does not know that Huo Qiu has long been dissatisfied with this inactive court! With Huoqiu's cautious way of being an official, he also made friends with many people in the court.

"What does Lord Liu mean by this? The lower official not only has the fold of the Huaizhou Prefecture in his hand, but also the account book, the grain book, and the name and family history of the person who was killed by the Huaizhou assassin history. ”

"Lord Zhao, please be cautious, Huaizhou Assassin Shi is just an errand by order, how could he do such a hurtful thing?"

"If Lord Liu doesn't even believe in the evidence, can there still be a clear case in this world?"

"Lord Zhao misunderstood, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he shouldn't just listen to one side, and this Huaizhou assassin has not said a word about this matter."

"Not mentioning a word is a weak-hearted approach, does Lord Liu have to come to the court to argue for himself? Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, the assassin history was originally to supervise the state and go, and now the Huaizhou assassin history is not only overstepping the throne, but also hurting people's lives, this, this is harmful to the reputation of the imperial court! ”

"You ......"

It's quiet.

Everyone knows that now His Majesty has attached great importance to the face of the court since he was a child, and in order not to be talked about, he can even give up his personal feelings. This majesty, since she was a child, has not had a single piece of bad news come out, and the only thing that has caused the people to dispute is only the three years when she has been out sick. Even when the court killed the courtiers, they only said that it was done by the Yunguo court.

At this time, all the ministers suppressed their heartbeats, buried their heads, and did not dare to speak.

Only that Lord Zhao seemed to be reminded by his own words, and suddenly found a way to make Huoqiu anger His Majesty, so he continued to make persistent efforts and continued, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be tolerated, the imperial court has not sent a history of assassination for many years, and this trip to the history of Huaizhou assassination represents the imperial court and Your Majesty!" ”

Wu Jinghong held his chin for a long time, leaned on the dragon chair, quietly looked at the courtiers, and looked at Lord Zhao's eyes full of eagerness.

"This is the court." Wu Jinghong raised his head, "I think that when my father was in the early dynasty, I only sat quietly in the apse, and I felt that these people were really full of all kinds of things. ”

Lord Zhao's eager gaze faded, and he looked at Wu Jinghong with some doubts.

"Well, I've heard what you're saying, and I understand what it means. However, I have long said that this court needs your wisdom and strategy, but I don't need it! Wu Jinghong said and stood up, pointing at Zhao Dadao, "You said that Huoqiu's errand was not done well, then I asked you, when the Huaizhou fold was handed over, when I asked you about the countermeasures, Zhao Aiqing, why didn't you say a word?" ”

Lord Zhao suddenly had a vegetable face, and snorted, "Your Majesty, then, that Huaizhou is a watery area, Weichen thinks that maybe Huaizhou Prefecture is exaggerating, and what he said on the excerpt ......"

"That's a change of words? Zhao Aiqing, why don't you think his excerpt is an exaggeration? Yes? Wu Jinghong raised his voice and sneered, "The brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have to be on the right path, crowding out dissidents, falling into the well and being positive, if you want to benefit the people, and if you share your worries, I won't see you rushing forward!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Weichen knows that he is wrong, Your Majesty is angry!" Lord Zhao finally understood, it turned out that His Majesty was not protecting Huo Qiu, but was angry that he took advantage of the fire Qiu to rob and fell into the well.

"Zhao Aiqing, I'm not so angry, you get up." Wu Jinghong waved his hand, and his voice was cold, "Xuanzhao, Zhao Mingde framed the imperial court official, and his talent was not enough to serve as the fourth grade, and now he has been demoted to the seventh grade county official, serving in Xiqiao County, Linhe County, Huaizhou." ”
