Chapter 80: Buying People's Hearts
The emperor and the eldest princess sat down, the officials shouted and sang loudly, and the birthday banquet began.
Immediately, rows of palace maids walked in in in an orderly manner with delicious wine and delicacies and placed them on each table.
The emperor stood up and held up the wine cup, "Come, let's wish the eldest princess a thousand years of life and ten thousand blessings."
"I wish the eldest princess a thousand years of life, and all blessings and peace."
The courtiers and ladies all raised their glasses and sang loudly to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess also raised her glass and smiled: "Okay, thank you for coming to congratulate my old woman on her birthday, this palace wishes me eternal peace in Great Xia, and peace and security in the country."
"My Great Xia will be peaceful forever, and the country and the people will be safe." And they all sang in unison.
"Singing and dancing."
After the official sang, seven women in colorful clothes flew down from a high place with silk cloth and began to dance......
Chu Zishan sat behind the eldest princess, looking at the nobles who were singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death, she missed her grandfather, father, brother, and soldiers guarding the border city more and more.
The Turks, tired of the nearly decade-long tug-of-war with Bactria and three months later, will launch their fiercest assault on Bactria in years, with casualties no less than the great battle that Angola had sworn to defend its territory forty years earlier.
If the soldiers knew that they were defending a group of selfish wolves and embarrassments, what would they do......
If they knew that they had defeated the Turks and exchanged their lives for peace in Great Xia, but behind the triumph was the butcher's knife that the emperor wanted to cook rabbits and dogs, what would they do......
Her slightly condensed eyebrows had a faint melancholy, and she drank to herself one by one.
During the banquet, while watching the singing and dancing, some people talked about novel things and interesting stories, which caused everyone to laugh from time to time.
King Xian glanced at an official, and the official understood, stood up and rolled up his long sleeves, and said with a smile: "Speaking of interesting stories in the imitation room, I heard that the champion Houfu recently gave the people free rice, and the people are grateful, and the champion Houfu will really buy people's hearts."
Buying people's hearts!
This is too sensitive a word, and everyone present restrained their smiles.
Chu Zishan raised his eyes when he heard this, and saw that everyone's eyes converged, looking at the hypocritical, deceitful, insidious, ruthless, and ruthless...... With different expressions, her beautiful apricot eyes were filled with absolute coldness.
Desire to add sin...... Is this the beginning?
Mrs. Chu took the case and said, "Lord Zheng, my Chu family is doing business properly, why is it that you are said to buy people's hearts?"
The official shook the wine cup in his hand, and said with a proud expression: "I'm just telling you an interesting story, why Mrs. Chu is so nervous, that she seems to have a ghost in her heart."
"My Chu family is acting upright and sitting upright, please be cautious, dare to maliciously speculate about my Chu family again, and I will never die with you?"
Mrs. Chu's words were loud, and her cold expression was unquestionable and resolute.
"Look, it's a joke, you woman is so careful." Master Zheng spread his hands and looked at Mrs. Chu with a contemptuous smile.
"You ......"
"Mother, don't worry about villains."
Chu Zishan tugged at his mother's sleeve and asked her to sit down.
"Chu Zishan, you are presumptuous, you dare to insult this palace is a villain?" Lord Zheng pointed at Chu Zishan angrily.
Chu Zishan blinked his beautiful eyes, a gentle smile appeared on his pretty face, his slender jade hand was raised, and he wrote an eight: "I responded to the joke that Master Zheng just said with eight characters, taking it out of context and sowing discord."
Master Zheng was furious, "Huangkou Xiao'er is talking nonsense!"
"Why is Lord Zheng so angry, it seems that there is a ghost in his heart."
Chu Zishan used his words to scold back, restrained his smile, and his beautiful eyes were full of frost: "Let me tell you the real situation, my Chu family's shop did distribute rice polishing for free to the people, that was because my family mismanaged and deceived the people, and after I found out, I decided to compensate the people who bought rice in the Chu family's shop."
My Chu family is open-minded, and if there is a mistake, it will be corrected, isn't this a virtue? How could it be said by Lord Zheng that he bought people's hearts.
There is no excuse for the sin you want to add!
Lord Zheng is an important minister in the court, how can he not know the truth of prudence in words and deeds, and use hearsay to target and attack my Chu family at will, my Chu family has no grudge against you, and I can't help but make me suspicious."
She squinted her beautiful eyes slightly, and pointed at Lord Zheng like a green onion: "You, isn't it a small work of other countries lurking in my Great Xia, wanting to provoke the relationship between my monarch and ministers, and wanting to disturb the situation in my court."
"You fart."
Lord Zheng was frightened by the word "fine work" and turned pale, this is more sensitive and fatal than buying people's hearts, and he can't save the head of the whole clan with a little touch, he panicked and scolded Chu Zishan angrily regardless of his image.
Chu Zishan slapped the table case violently, and glared at Lord Zheng angrily: "My Chu family is loyal and courageous, and the children are full of blood for Daxia, how can you allow Er and other rats to slander, you are looking for death."
Master Zheng was dumbfounded, and he was even more frightened by Chu Zishan's terrifying killing intent, and he couldn't get up or down there, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Another official stood up and shouted indignantly: "Chu Zishan, in front of the emperor and the eldest princess, you dare to shout wildly, you don't take the emperor in your eyes at all, and dare to say that you are loyal, I heard that you are arrogant and lawless, and when I see it today, it is indeed so."
Chu Zishan glanced at the official and looked him up and down, "It's obvious that Lord Zheng is plotting against my Chu family, can't I talk back?" Let him frame? Are you a member of the same party as Lord Zheng?"
"You are bloody, presumptuous and rude, I heard a few days ago that you dared to drive the Tobe squire to personally send you the champion Houfu to send Yulu, why are you so arrogant, is it because you think that the champion Houfu has made great achievements and is proud of your achievements."
"Hmph, hmph......" Chu Zishan sneered softly, she got up and left her seat and slowly walked towards the official.
"What are you going to do? Do you dare to kill this official in front of the emperor? That's a deception......
Chu Zishan approached the frightened official step by step: "I just asked you, you are lawless, rude, arrogant, bullying, and deducting so many crimes on my head, I don't have enough to cut off ten heads."
said that I shouted in front of the emperor, didn't you shout in front of the emperor, and you didn't see the emperor in your eyes."
"No, no, my loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon......" The official waved his hand in confusion and retreated.
Chu Zishan sneered: "A dog thing that talks to itself."
"Chu Zishan, you are presumptuous!"
The official shouted angrily, but he was frightened back by Chu Zishan's sharp knife eye.
Chu Zishan's beautiful eyes were cold, and he looked around at everyone: "My Chu family is bright and upright, and they are not afraid of anyone's targeting and criticism." She stretched out her hand and pointed to Tobe Shirou, "If you drive Tobe Shirou to personally deliver Yuroku, let Shirou personally talk about it."
The household servant was watching the show, and when he heard the official mention the matter of sending the house, his face changed suddenly, and he secretly scolded the official for being a fool, and was named by Chu Zishan, he trembled, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he had to stand up and barely squeeze out a smile: "Regarding the matter of me sending the champion Houfu to the Champion Mansion, in fact, it was the Champion Candidate Mrs. Chu who knew that the household department was short of money, and said that she would immediately supply the border city first, and the Houfu's Yulu could be sent a few months late, I admired Mrs. Chu for caring about the safety of the country, and the high wind and bright festival, When the money from the household department was abundant, he personally sent it to the champion Houfu."
Chu Zishan raised his head, sighed deeply, and then looked at everyone, his beautiful eyes were clear, and his body exuded terrifying killing intent.
"My Chu family's sons and daughters swear to guard the country, only then can you sing and dance to promote peace, and have your rich and wanton good life, but you can slander my Chu family at will with your conscience, a group of white-eyed wolves, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted female gangsters."
