Chapter 0033 - Looking at it is not like a human king
"Shang Chaoβ"
The next day, Shi Min went to the court early in the morning.
Shi Hu, the king of the Great Zhao Dynasty, is also very rare to hold a great court meeting, because of the soldiers, the country's major affairs. Although the first battle of the Southern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom was not a big war, but with 70,000 male soldiers at every turn, Shi Hu still had to weigh whether it would annoy the Jin people because of this, and make them raise troops for the Northern Expedition.
But does Shi Hu have such concerns?
No!
For the Jin Kingdom in the south, although Shi Hu was not afraid, he did not dare to provoke easily. Around the Great Zhao State, there are currently many soldiers and generals, and the country is in full swing, and Shi Hu does not dare to launch a war of hundreds of thousands of people to destroy the country!
In history, Shi Hu once launched an army of more than one million people to conquer the Jin Kingdom, but in the end he died without a problem.
Without enough certainty, no one dares to challenge this southern behemoth!
When the ministers entered the hall, they lowered their heads when they saw Shi Hu, and shouted respectfully: "Long live my king, long live, long live!" β
"Flat."
"King Xie!"
The ministers looked at the tables and mats placed in the hall, and they were a little confused, and they didn't dare to sit down.
Shi Hu smiled like a spring breeze: "My Great Zhao State can achieve today's national situation, and all the princes have contributed a lot." Therefore, I have a banquet in the Taiwu Hall today, and I want to treat you well! Sit down! β
"King Xie!" The ministers snorted again and sat down.
"Bang Bang!" Shi Hu clapped his hands, and then a group of palace maids came in with their heads down, trembling with trays of meat placed on trays of meat. Then put it on the table of each minister, one plate per person.
Shi Xuan, the crown prince next to Shi Hu, said with a smile: "Zhuqing, this is the king's favorite food on weekdays. The reward for you today shows the king's affection for you courtiers! β
What food does Shi Hu like to eat?
The ministers couldn't help but jump their eyelids, as the leader of the Han officials, Sikong Wen couldn't help but stand up, and asked stubbornly: "Dare to ask the king, what kind of meat is this?" β
"Lamb." Shi Hu held his head high and said, "Two-legged mutton meat!" β
ββ¦β¦β
The ministers were shocked in their hearts.
Shi Hu said again: "Zhuqing, you can't refrain from my kindness. This 'mutton' was made by me and the prince yesterday after a busy night's work, and it is not easy to cook, so don't waste it! β
Shi Hu's implication is, don't eat? That is not to give me Shi Hu's face? What will happen if you don't give Shi Hu face?
Most of them are going to be the meat of this plate!
Shi Min was frightened, but he didn't dare to stand up and refute anything.
Seeing that the ministers didn't move their chopsticks, Shi Xuan couldn't help but stare and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Eat! β
"I ......" Shi Min just wanted to stand up and say something, but was pulled by the sleeve of Yiyang Gong Shijian beside him.
Shi Min stabilized his figure again, looked around, and saw that the ministers were already moving their chopsticks, and some of the ministers from the Hu people were even more careless, and they all took the "mutton" on the plate and devoured it there, not at all!
Inconstancy! Shi Min's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of grief and indignation.
Aren't the princes of the court the devil in a gorgeous garment? Dressed beasts?!
But now I'm with them!
It was only at this time that Shi Min understood why Cui Hao insisted on not being an official in the court of the Zhao Kingdom!
Seeing that Shi Min didn't move his chopsticks, Shi Xuan, the prince who was at the top, couldn't help frowning and said, "Shi Min, why don't you eat?" Don't you dislike the 'mutton' made by Lone and the king? β
"Don't dare to ......"
Shi Min was about to say something, when a young minister at the end of the seat stood up.
"The king, the minister has something to say!" The young minister snapped.
"Who are you? What do you have to say? β
Shi Hu's memory may not be very good, maybe there are too many courtiers, uncountable, and it is possible that he can't remember these two or three hundred civil and military officials at once.
The minister held his head high and said loudly: "The minister's servant Wang Ju! β
"The king, in order to prevent the king from making a big mistake, the minister has to stand up and advise the king! This is my duty as a courtier! β
Everyone knows what this Wang Ju wants to say, and they all have this idea in their hearts to a greater or lesser extent, but no one dares to stand up and refute it.
Sure enough, he is still strong in blood and does not know the world!
"Say!" Shi Hu said sharply.
Wang Ju immediately said loudly: "The king, the minister heard that 'the monarch, the good general, the friend Cangli, Ren Zhongxian, return to the country'!" I don't know what you've done, my lord? Han Feizi once said that those who are under the monarch use their own strength; The monarch is the one who uses people's ability; The ruler uses the wisdom of people! I don't know if the king thinks he is the lower king, the middle king, or the upper king? β
"I look at the face of the king, the eagle looks at the wolf, not like a human king, and I don't look like a human monarch!"
Wang Ju's violent temper was like a volcanic eruption, pointing at Shi Hu and shouting: "Tyrant! You unkind tyrant! You plotted to usurp the throne and kill the first emperor, and you have the trust of Emperor Ming! You abuse the power of the people, and you mustard people's lives! Thou hast mutilated the faithful and set up this feast of gluttony, how is it different from that of beasts? Beastly! No, you're not even as good as a beast! β
"Beasts don't eat their own kind, and you! β¦β¦β
"Enough!" Shi Hu finally couldn't help but break out!
Shi Hu got up, pointed at Wang Ju and said sharply: "Pull this chaotic minister and thief down for me!" Big unloading! Cook him! β
Wang Ju struggled like this and was dragged out by the warriors in front of the palace, maybe he was still indignant, and he was still scolding in his mouth!
Good scolding!
Shi Min sighed in his heart, he asked himself if he would dare to do this.
Wang Ju scolded happily, but it was tantamount to looking for death!
Do you think you are Wei Zheng, and it is Emperor Li Er sitting on the platform? Even if it's Li Er, I'm afraid that he won't be so generous, didn't he see Wei Zheng die, and then he was dug up?
"Rebels and thieves! β¦β¦β
Shi Hu was angry, and his mouth was still chattering and scolding.
"Who recommended him?"
When even an aging minister stood up tremblingly.
"Pull it down and cook it together!"
The end of this guy was also very miserable, although he was begging for mercy, Shi Hu was unmoved!
Seeing that Shi Min hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, and didn't mean to lower his mouth, Shi Hu couldn't help frowning and said, "Thorn slave, what, do you dislike this 'mutton' is not delicious?" β
"I didn't ...... No. Shi Min shook his head in horror.
Shi Hu then said coldly: "In this court today, whoever doesn't eat these 'mutton' cleanly, don't leave!" This Wang Ju is their end! β
ββ¦β¦β
The ministers were all silent, and they all picked up the "mutton" on the plate and devoured it, even if it was disgusting and uncomfortable, they had to pinch their noses and eat it!
Shi Min also stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of "mutton", he knew that Shi Hu and Shi Xuan's eyes were looking at him, so he didn't dare to eat it with his eyes closed like those courtiers.
Shi Min opened his mouth, took the piece of meat and sent it directly into his stomach, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, I don't know what it tastes like. Shi Min didn't want to know what it was like, and a feeling of nausea came up, making his throat thrust and he wanted to vomit.
But Shi Min saw that the Sikong article on the opposite side was really miserable, he was so tearful that he just vomited, and was stuffed into his mouth by Shi Hu again, and ate it again!
Lao Tzu doesn't want to eat this kind of thing! Shi Min was sad in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't resist, once he didn't finish eating the "mutton" on the plate, he would end up with Wang Ju!
"Thorn slave, is this 'mutton' delicious?" Shi Hu asked with a smile.
"Good...... Delicious! β
Immediately, the "mutton" made from the corpses of Wang Ju and the old minister just now was brought up again, one by one, and eaten separately.
"If it's delicious, eat more!"
Shi Hu waved his hand and said, "Do you remember what I once told you?" Among these 'mutton's, the most delicious is the meat of young girls and babies of the Han people! In this plate is the flesh of a baby...... Come on, give a 'leg of mutton' to the thorn slave! β
Shi Min's heart quickly calmed down.
Shi Hu is testing himself! If you dare to wrinkle every day and have the intention of disobedience, then you have a different intention, and you will inevitably be killed!
Shi Min doesn't want to die, he wants to live!
"King Xie!" Shi Min pretended to be casual and lowered his hand.
Then, Shi Min sat down and looked at the "leg of mutton", with a very complicated mood.
"Click! ......" Shi Min was heartbroken, so he directly put the leg of mutton in his mouth and gobbled it up.
Shi Min tried his best to suppress the feeling of nausea in his stomach, lowered his head, as if this "mutton" was a delicacy in the world, he ate the "mutton" in a hurry, and wanted to vomit it several times, but he swallowed it back alive.
That's not all!
Shi Min knew that Shi Hu's eyes were looking at him as if they were nothing, so he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear that Shi Hu would not dare to show any strange emotions when he saw his sad and indignant expression at the moment!
When the ministers finished eating these "mutton", Shi Hu said that he was very pleased.
Shi Hu smiled and said: "The princes claim to be loyal and patriotic, but I can't see that!" Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, in my opinion, the most loyal and patriotic is the thorn slave! β
"Look at your food!"
When Shi Hu praised Shi Min again, Shi Min suddenly felt that there was a strange gaze from the Han minister nearby. The knife-like eyes make people shudder!
Shi Min was even more like falling into an ice cellar, chilling all over!
Shi Hu's move is too ruthless!
