At the door of the imperial study, there was a group of ministers kneeling. Their eyes were resolute and their expressions were awe-inspiring, as if they were on the battlefield at the moment.

Sun Doudou saw Sun Kui coming out of the imperial study and hurriedly greeted him. Sun Kui stepped aside and stood with him.

When Wu Pinghou and his group of ministers saw Sun Kui come out, their eyes lit up, but soon the light in their eyes became dim, because Sun Kui didn't say anything to them.

Sun Doudou lowered his voice and asked Sun Kui, "Master, why did you come out?" ”

Sun Kui glanced at the ministers kneeling at the door, and a playful smile crossed his eyes. He raised his chin, bowed to the Marquis of Wuping, who was kneeling at the door, and said with a smile: "The emperor asked me to spy on them. ”

"Huh?" Sun Doudou looked surprised, "Didn't the emperor ask you to come out to persuade them?" ”

"The emperor said that they can kneel as long as they want, and they can kneel until they are old."

Sun Doudou asked in disbelief: "The emperor really doesn't care?" "These are all powerful ministers, all of them with noble status." The emperor is not afraid to kneel out? "These adults are not young, kneeling for a while will definitely be fine, but something will definitely happen after a long time.

The emperor said that when they knelt for a while, with a painful look on their faces, he would give them futons, and then some tea. If an adult faints, he will be sent to the hospital immediately. "The emperor is mainly considerate.

"Huh?" Sun Doudou looked shocked, "Is this okay?" ”

"The emperor said that all the adults are meritorious heroes to the Great Zhou, and they can't really be allowed to kneel at the door of the imperial study, so they have to take care of them, so that they can kneel well."

Sun Doudou: "......" is worthy of being the emperor.

Sun Kui stared at the ministers kneeling at the door, to see if any of the adults kneeled with painful faces.

"Master, isn't the emperor afraid that these adults will collectively strike the dynasty tomorrow?" Sun Doudou saw that these powerful ministers were going to come to the real thing, and he would not give up easily this time.

"Do you think the emperor will be afraid?" Sun Kui sneered, "The emperor wishes that they would collectively boycott the dynasty and then go home, so that the emperor can promote other officials." ”

After hearing this, Sun Doudou gave a thumbs up.

He sighed in his heart: The emperor's wishful thinking is really fine.

"The emperor also said that let the adults bask in the sun, which is good for their bodies." As soon as Sun Kui finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Yes, the emperor said that more solar energy supplements calcium." Adults are old and their legs and feet are not very good, so take this opportunity to let them bask in the sun more and supplement more calcium, maybe they can make their legs and feet more neat. ”

After hearing this, Sun Doudou was silent for a while, and then asked, "Master, is this a yin and yang weirdness, or does he really care about your adults?" ”

Sun Kui glanced at Sun Doudou and said, "Of course, the emperor really cares about you adults and is good for you." ”

Sun Doudou listened to his master's words such righteous and stern, he almost believed it.

"Your Majesty is really sympathetic to all of you." The master's school with the emperor is broken.

Sun Kui took the dust and lightly slapped the apprentice's head, "Hurry up and get the futon." ”

"I'll get it now."

Sun Doudou's movements were very fast, bringing a stack of futons, and then waiting for an adult who couldn't stand kneeling and sent the futons intimately.

Sun Kui chatted with his apprentices while staring at Wu Pinghou and them.

Marquis Wu Ping's group of ministers are so old that they can't stand it after kneeling for half an hour. Many of them were in pain, but they gritted their teeth.

Sun Doudou saw several ministers kneeling with bared teeth and grinning, and asked Sun Kui quietly: "Master, do you want to send them futons now?" ”

"The emperor said that at least let them kneel for an hour." Sun Kui said, "Wait a little longer." ”

Sun Doudou thought to himself, the emperor is really strict.

"I'll go in and see if the emperor wants to serve." Sun Kui turned around and entered the imperial study and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you want to have a cup of tea?" ”

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Kui, and asked with interest, "What about the people outside?" ”

Sun Kui replied: "There are many adults who can't stand kneeling anymore, but they are still gritting their teeth and standing up. ”

"How long have you been kneeling and you can't stand it?"

"Back to the emperor, I knelt for half an hour." Sun Kui asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send a futon to your lords now?" ”

"It's only been half an hour, and I'll send it after kneeling for an hour." The Emperor smiled with a malicious smile, "Let them suffer first, and then remind me to go out and see them later." They are all heroes of the Great Zhou, how can I, the emperor, ignore them, I have to care about them. ”

"Your Majesty, you are really merciful."

The Emperor said solemnly, "I am so merciful. ”

Sun Kui: "Your ...... Emperor, you are not only getting thicker and thicker-skinned, but also darker-bellied.

More than half an hour later, the emperor, under Sun Kui's reminder, walked out of the imperial study and visited the ministers kneeling at the door.

When the Marquis of Wuping saw that the emperor had finally come out, they hurriedly asked the emperor to take back his order.

The emperor did not pay attention to their words, but told Sun Kui and them to go and bring the futon, and asked Sun Kui to serve tea to the adults.

Wu Pinghou and they were stunned. They didn't expect the emperor to react like this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are tired of kneeling, just sit down." The Emperor said very intimately, "If you are hungry or thirsty, you can have someone serve you refreshments." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor interrupted Marquis Wuping's words and said with a smile: "No need to thank me, you are my Aiqing, how can I bear to make you tired." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

The emperor interrupted Marquis Wuping again, "I still have a piece of music to review, so you can kneel well." If you can't stand kneeling, you don't need to say hello to me, you can go home directly. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

After ignoring the Marquis of Wuping, the emperor turned around and returned to the imperial study to continue to review his recitals.

Wu Pinghou was very backbone, refused the futon, and also refused the tea.

Some of the other ministers kneeled with sore knees and didn't want to kneel anymore. They are pampered on weekdays, let alone kneeling, they can't even walk a few steps, where can they endure this hardship. They asked Sun Kui for a futon and sat down cross-legged.

Some ministers were thirsty and asked Sun Kui for tea. After drinking tea, they sat on the futon and continued to protest to the emperor.

When Sun Doudou saw this scene, he only felt funny and funny.

"Master, are they also called protests?"

"Why, you still want to see them hit the pillar?"

"I'd love to see it, but they're sure they wouldn't dare to hit it."

"It's only the first day, just wait."

Sun Kui returned to the imperial study and waited for the emperor's dispatch.

At first, there were not many ministers who sat on the futon, but as time went on, more and more ministers sat on the futon. By noon, even the Marquis of Wuping and the Marquis of Chiyang couldn't stand their knees, and finally sat on the futon.

Sun Kui reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's noon, it's time for you to have lunch." ”

"It's noon?" The emperor put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "How are the people outside, are they gone?" ”

"I didn't leave, they were all still there, but they all sat on the futon and didn't kneel anymore." Sun Kui told the emperor in detail about the process of the ministers from kneeling to sitting.

After hearing this, the emperor laughed and said, "I can't hold on for half a day, it's even more useless than I imagined." ”

"Your Majesty, you have no intention of leaving."

"Let's go, go out and have a look."

The emperor stretched his waist and walked out of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to take back your order."

"Are you hungry, do you want someone to bring you food?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not hungry, and the ministers plead to ......"

The emperor raised his hand to interrupt Marquis Wuping's words, "You are not hungry, I am hungry, I have gone to lunch." ”

"Your Majesty...... Emperor...... The Emperor ......"

The emperor walked two steps and stopped, and looked back at Wuping Hou and them: "Aiqing, if you are hungry, you can go home for lunch." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor trotted away.

When he finished his lunch, he did not rush back to the imperial study, but went to the imperial garden for a walk to eat. After walking, he directly warmed up the pavilion for a lunch break. As for the ministers kneeling at the door of the imperial study, he directly forgot about it.

At this time, in the palace of the King of Chu, the King of Chu and Yang Ling were sitting in the courtyard playing chess.

Wei Mian walked over and said, "Your Highness, Marquis Wuping and they are still in the palace. ”

When the King of Chu heard this, he was not surprised.

Wei Mian continued to report: "Marquis Wu Ping, they changed from kneeling to sitting quietly at the door of the imperial study to resist. ”

Yang Ling listened and asked with interest, "How did you change from kneeling to meditation?" ”

Wei Mian told Yang Ling about the news coming out of the palace.

After listening to this, Yang Ling said with a smile: "The emperor is really a good means. ”

King Chu said: "It was the same before. ”

Yang Ling asked, "Your Highness, do you think Wuping Hou and them can hold out for a few days?" ”

King Chu: "At least three days." ”

Yang Ling asked again: "What about three days later?" ”

"I guess I'll pretend to be sick and won't go to court."

"Your Highness, do you think they will pretend for a few days?"

The king of Chu said: "It's still three days, and they don't dare to go to court for a long time, because they know in their hearts that their father will really let them go home for the elderly." ”

"The emperor has never been used to them." Yang Ling thought of Duke Anyang and King Zheng again, "Did the emperor let King Zheng come back?" ”

"Duke Anyang did not propose to his father to let King Zheng come back for the time being." The King of Chu left a son and continued, "After all, this matter is not over yet, and the Marquis of Wuping is still making trouble. ”

Yang Ling thought about it and felt that it was also: "It seems that when the Marquis of Wuping and they stop, the Duke of Anyang will propose to the emperor to let King Zheng return to Beijing." ”

King Chu looked at Yang Ling and said thoughtfully, "Sir, I plan to propose to my father that King Zheng return to Beijing. ”

Yang Ling heard the words of the King of Chu, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but pause. He looked at the King of Chu in a little surprise: "Your Highness, ...... you are?"

The king of Chu rubbed the chess pieces in his hand and said meaningfully: "I didn't sell it to Duke Anyang, but took the opportunity to let King Zheng come back." ”

"Your Highness, do you want to solve King Zheng in advance?" What did King Zheng do to make His Royal Highness the King of Chu hate him so much.

"That's right, he's a scourge, it's better to get rid of it sooner."

"That's fine."

In the Anyang Mansion, the Duke of Anyang was also talking to his son about letting King Zheng return to Beijing.

"Dad, Your Highness is a little reluctant to return to Beijing."

"If he doesn't go back, he has to go back, does he want to be an idle prince in that ghost place for the rest of his life?" Duke Anyang knew the reason why King Zheng didn't want to return to Beijing, "Over the years, he has been drunk and dreamed of death in Jiaozhou. If he doesn't return to Beijing, he will be completely wasted. ”

"Dad, you also know what kind of character His Highness is, do you really think it's good to let him go back to Beijing?" The son of Duke An Yang frowned, his expression was a little solemn, "If the things His Highness did were known, His Highness would ...... Not only will something happen, but it will also affect us. You also know that in the past few years in Jiaozhou, His Highness has become more and more willful, and he is afraid that when he returns to the capital, His Highness will not control himself. ”

"When he returns to the capital, he will relent." Duke Anyang said with a cold face, "After the Marquis of Wuping and them finish making trouble, I will mention it to the emperor." ”

The son of Duke Anyang also knew that their Wang family had already bet the treasure on King Zheng. If King Zheng stays in Jiaozhou, then their Wang family will not have a good future. However, if King Zheng returns to Beijing, their Wang family will still have a chance to fight. As long as they succeed, their royal family will be powerful.

"I hope Your Highness can become more honest when he returns to Beijing."

"You go to Jiaozhou in person and deal with the things that His Highness did." Duke Anyang was also worried that the things that King Zheng did in Jiaozhou would be discovered by others, and then King Zheng would be finished. "It must be handled cleanly, and there must be no aftermath."

An Yanggong's son nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave for Jiaozhou tomorrow." ”

"I'll talk about it when I enter the palace tomorrow and see my mother." Anyang was fair, "This matter has to be discussed with Niangniang first." ”

"Dad, it's best to ask Niangniang to write a letter to Your Highness, and I'll bring it to Your Highness when the time comes." Thinking of King Zheng's temperament, the son of Duke An Yang said with a headache, "His Royal Highness is most afraid of Niangniang, and he listens to Niangniang's words the most. (End of chapter)
