Chapter 576: Back to the Black Cauldron
The atmosphere in the court was a little weird, and Yu Shaoxi also felt it. Although he has his own little abacus, he doesn't want to be pointed at behind his back, so he snorted and said: "Old General Lin, you laid down a large area of the country for Daxia back then, and now Lin Leng Aiqing is also fighting for me outside the enemy's territory, sure enough, the tiger father has no dog!"
Old Man Lin patted Lin Leng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty praised it falsely! Back then, the dog was a martial arts general who terrified the enemy army, although he had been recuperating for a few years, he didn't disappoint the old man when he struck again! Compared with some guys who only know how to play tricks, it is several times stronger!"
While saying cool words, the corner of Old Man Lin's eyes glanced at Situ Wuji from time to time, obviously meaning something.
Suddenly, the officials in the hall seemed to understand the meaning of Old Man Lin's words, and their eyes drifted towards Situ Wuji's direction, and many people whispered one after another.
"Situ Wuji is really useless, he has been going for so many days, and in the end he still hasn't talked about it, if it weren't for General Lin Leng guarding the border pass, I'm afraid that the army of the Demon Brake Empire would have already attacked outside our imperial capital!
"That's right! I think Situ Wuji just pays lip service, but in fact he doesn't know anything! The last time the grassland tribes invaded Great Xia, didn't he also shout that he wanted to negotiate peace? As a result, the king of Fuxi directly led his troops to kill him, and he beat the other party away, and his grandson Situ Xiaofeng couldn't even defend the Lilac City, which was really useless!" another official chimed in!" another official chimed in.
"What's the matter? His other grandson, what's his name, is right to Situ Xiaoyu! That's also a soft egg! I know all day long that I spend all my time drinking, lingering in the Fengyue place! King Fuxi said that the Situ family is all cowards, and I think there is some truth in this. Another voice came out, apparently picking up the words of the two people in front of him.
"Isn't he no longer in office? Why is he still here all day long? Do some things that are out of tune, and Your Majesty doesn't care!" The voice in the corner came out again, obviously resentful.
The officials didn't talk loudly, but Situ Wuji heard it all in his ears without saying a word.
Listen, but he didn't dare to get angry at all, after all, this negotiation really failed to succeed. But you can't blame yourself entirely! It's clear that Na Zamalie is unreasonable and refuses to negotiate, and he is just acting on Yu Shaoxi's orders!
Now that the battle of the magic brake has been fought, and the matter has stopped, I didn't expect that my own thing would be lifted out, attracting a lot of scolding.
Old Man Lin also listened to the discussions of the officials with a smile, and shook his head and sighed from time to time: "Fortunately, the peace talks between the two countries were not successful, so there was a chance for the dog to appear, otherwise this time it would really be a loss to the wife and the army!
Yu Shaoxi saw that the discussion of the military officials in the audience was getting louder and louder, and he knew that if he didn't give an explanation for today's matter, he might not be able to do well. In desperation, he had no choice but to knock on the table, sighed slightly and said, "Where is Situ Aiqing?"
"Weichen is here, I don't know what Your Majesty commands?" Situ Wuji faintly felt that Yu Shaoxi's tone was not good, and his heart was beating, but he still stood up and saluted him.
"In view of the fact that you went to negotiate with the Demon Empire this time, not only did you return in vain, but also self-defeating, causing the other party's army to invade our territory, fortunately, General Lin Leng turned the tide. Since I have a reward, I will naturally be punished. Therefore, I have decided to cancel your qualification to participate in the early dynasty, and as for the position of the first assistant of Wenchen, I will be temporarily replaced by the eldest prince Yu Muchuan!" Yu Shaoxi said lightly.
Now the spearheads of the courtiers are all pointed at Situ Wuji, as the emperor, he naturally can't take the blame, otherwise wouldn't it become him a coward? Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Yu Shaoxi had no choice but to push Situ Wuji out and carry this black cauldron.
Situ Wuji was stunned, he really didn't expect that Yu Shaoxi would actually put the basin on his head! It was Yu Shaoxi who made the decision to compensate at the beginning! Now the whole thing has become his own fault? How can this be true!
"Lord Situ, what are you doing in a daze? You have done something wrong, Your Majesty is still so magnanimous, leaving you a way to live, why don't you hurry up and thank you, waiting to be beaten?" Old Man Lin stretched out his tone and said in a non-yin and non-yang tone.
At this time, he was already very happy in his heart: You Situ Lao'er also have today! I listened to Lao Tzu before, wouldn't it be better to lead the troops to fight over? I also saved this training, and looked, as a result, I dug a pit and buried myself!
"Micro ...... Weichen obeyed...... "Situ Wuji knelt down to receive the favor, and he was so angry that he trembled. I didn't expect that I would do my best for Yu Shaoxi, but in the end, I was not a person inside and out! As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, but I didn't expect it to be fulfilled on my body today!
Situ Wuji raised his head and stared at Yu Shaoxi's mouth tightly, hoping that he could say something more, hinting that he could make a comeback, even if it was comforting!
"Okay, let's get here this morning! General Wu Yong must be tired after returning from a long journey, so go back and rest early! Retreat from the court!" Yu Shaoxi was also a little ashamed of Situ Wuji, but he didn't say much in the court, so he simply announced his retreat from the court, and after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Gonggong Cai to shout "get up", stood up and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
Situ Wuji looked at Yu Shaoxi's back in disbelief, and his heart sank deeper and deeper like an ice cave.
After Yu Shaoxi walked away, all the civil and military officials flocked to Lin Leng and Old Man Lin's side, patting the two of them on the back, and for a while flattery came like a tide.
Today's Lin family can be said to be rising, compared to the previous Situ family. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, if you can use the blessing of the Lin family to lift your identity, then whatever you do in the future will be much smoother.
And Situ Wuji left the Jinluan Hall alone and silently, and no one paid attention to him. He seemed to be light-hearted, as if nothing had happened, and as for what kind of turmoil was in his heart, only he knew.
After the strange early dynasty, the ministers all returned to their respective homes. And in the afternoon, there was a mighty team outside the gate of the imperial capital.
The procession was unhurriedly marching toward the city, with wagons and luggage, bustling with people taking up an entire street, and passers-by avoided it.
At the head of the team was Lin Yu, who was riding a dirt horse with an unattractive appearance, sweating profusely, taking out a fan and fanning it non-stop
