The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 222

[Chapter 222 Is there anything else to say?]

After a moment, Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, bowed to him respectfully, and said, “Your Majesty, this is what I want to say.”

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu, smiled, nodded and said, “Go down. .”

Everyone was even more surprised when they saw this scene.

His Majesty actually smiled. This was the first time I saw His Majesty smile since he stepped into Nuan Pavilion.

This shows what?

It shows that His Majesty is very satisfied with Fang Xiu’s answer.

Yang Zheng felt even colder when he saw this scene.

Although he had already guessed His Majesty’s attitude before, seeing His Majesty’s expression, it was almost certain that His Majesty had no intention of marrying with the prairie people.

Even so, he is unwilling to give up the ideas he insists on, let alone change his ideas.

Marriage will definitely lead to peace. This has been the case throughout history, and there has never been an exception.

Even if it is only a short period of peace, it is far better than a war that destroys lives.

He is the Minister of Rites, responsible for the education of the people of the world, and he is also responsible for the people of the world.

He didn’t want to see the lives of people on the border of Dachu being in ruins and a mess.

Even if it costs the princess’s happiness for the rest of her life.

In other words, compared with the peace of the world, what is a little princess?

What’s more, the princess is marrying a prince from the grassland, and she is not going to the grassland to suffer, so what is unacceptable?

Thinking of this, he became more determined to persuade His Majesty.

In this Nuan Pavilion, there are all generals who are close to the army, as well as the more radical Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Household Affairs.

None of the ministers are inclined toward peace. I believe that at the court meeting, someone will stand up to support him and discuss the interests of war with the grassland people with reason.

However,

in the face of the current situation, it is better to remain silent. If I really offend His Majesty, I am afraid that I will be deprived of the possibility of participating in the next court meeting.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Chu glanced at Yang Zheng. Seeing that he did not speak, he took the initiative to ask: “Yang Qing family, do you have anything else to say?”

Yang Zheng stood up and faced Chu respectfully. The emperor saluted and replied: “I have finished what I want to say. There is nothing more to say. However, the marriage is a serious matter. I

still hope that your majesty can discuss this matter with the ministers at the court meeting tomorrow.” Something.”

Emperor Chu nodded without saying anything. He looked at the other people in Nuan Pavilion and asked, “Gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?”

The generals looked at each other and asked. He said: “What General Fang Zhonglang said is what I want to say.”

Emperor Chu nodded, glanced at the three cabinet academicians, the Minister of War and the Minister of Household, and asked: ” Do you have anything else to say?”

Seeing Emperor Chu’s question, the five important officials all stood up, bowed respectfully to Emperor Chu, and said, “I will obey your Majesty’s order!”

Seeing them like this! , Emperor Chu had nothing to say. He waved his hands and said, “In that case, you all should stand down.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

In the Nuan Pavilion, everyone except Emperor Chu and the eunuch Liu Cheng stood up and faced each other. He bowed respectfully in the direction of Emperor Chu, and shouted: “I’ll leave!”

Then Yan Zhuang, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood up first, walked at the front, and was the first to walk out of Nuan Pavilion. They are two great scholars, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Hubu, and the Minister of War.

After several important ministers had left, it was the turn of several generals.

However, none of the generals moved, and instead looked at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was still thinking about whether to eat northern hot pot or southern hot pot, with an oil dish or sesame sauce, but suddenly he noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange. He looked up and found that the eyes of several generals were focused on him.

After being slightly distracted for a moment, he finally reacted.

Are these people trying to get ahead of themselves?

Fang Xiu was a little surprised and didn’t understand why they did this.

But His Majesty is here, and it’s hard for him to ask questions, and even less to be humble, otherwise it would be inappropriate for a few people to stand in the Nuan Pavilion and stand in a stalemate for a long time.

He had no choice but to give an apologetic look to the generals and follow Ma Wenhua, Minister of War, out.

Several generals saw Fang Xiu walking out of Nuan Pavilion, and then followed him out.

The State of Chu is a country of etiquette, and everything is about dignity, especially in the palace.

According to common sense, there is a well-established order for entering and leaving the Nuan Pavilion.

The one who walked at the front was undoubtedly the one who stood at the front during the court meeting. He did not have the name of Prime Minister, but he was actually the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Then came the other Cabinet Bachelors, followed closely by the six ministers. The first one is the Minister of Rites.

The rest are the remaining five Shangshu. Generally speaking, according to the year of Jinshi examination, those who passed the Jinshi examination one year earlier are at the front.

There is no doubt that several generals are ranked ahead of Fang Xiu in terms of qualifications and status.

Among them was Fang Xiu’s direct superior, General Yu Linwei.

These people let him go ahead of them. What does this mean?

This shows that they are very convinced of what Fang Xiu just said in front of His Majesty, and they are willing to admit that they are not as good as Fang Xiu in this matter, respect him, and are willing to let him go ahead of them.

Fang Xiu didn’t think so much.

Before, he only had one thing on his mind, and that was to stop this marriage.

Although that little girl Zhao Yan can be annoying sometimes and has many shortcomings, such as the eldest lady’s temper and being unreasonable,

after getting along with him for so long, they are relatively harmonious with each other.

It’s not realistic to have no feelings at all for such a long time.

Therefore, he did not want to just watch Zhao Yan be sent to the grassland as a victim between the grassland people and the Chu State.

Although the marriage partner is the prince of the grassland.

However, the Chu people attach great importance to nostalgia and pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. Being far away from their hometown makes people feel extremely uncomfortable after all.

In addition, the customs of the grassland people are completely different from those of Chu State. Zhao Yan doesn’t know how long it will take to adapt.

Moreover, of course the prince of the grassland

, the most important thing is that Zhao Yan still has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with her.

If she married in the grassland and asked herself to get back the hundreds of thousands taels of silver, what should she do?

After the debate with the Minister of Rites just now, Fang Xiu believed that neither the Emperor of Chu nor the three cabinet bachelors would support the marriage.

What’s more, it was obvious that from the beginning, Emperor Chu had never thought about marrying the grassland people.

So, now that he walked out of Nuan Pavilion, there was only one thing left on his mind, and that was hot pot.

It was still early, so Fang Xiu glanced at the blue sky and stepped out of the Nourishing Heart Hall.

Having been here so many times, he was already familiar with the road from Yangxin Hall to outside the palace and no longer needed the eunuch’s guidance.

Just when Fang Xiu was about to walk out of the Yangxin Hall, a voice suddenly came from behind him: “Boy, why are you leaving in such a hurry?”
