The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 310

[Chapter 310 Divine Punishment]

Yanzhuang’s proposal was the most appropriate. After hearing this, Emperor Chu felt that it coincided with his own ideas in many ways. Without much hesitation, he nodded and said: “In that case, then Let’s do it according to Yan Qing’s wishes.”

After a few words, the matter was settled.

Even though Duke Qian, who was far away in the southwest, was extremely unconvinced by this decision, the final result could only be this.

To change the land and return it to the local people, tea and horse trade is an important policy of the country.

Unless the Chu Emperor dies, a new emperor ascends the throne, and the cabinet is reorganized, there is almost no possibility of change.

As if he had thought of something, one of the cabinet bachelors sighed: “General Fang has done a good thing for the court after all.”

After hearing this, the other people nodded in agreement.

It seems that it is extremely difficult to do even one good deed.

After hearing this, Ma Wenhua, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, grinned, laughed twice, and said: “That’s natural, Fang Xiu is my nephew.”

His tone was quite proud.

When the three cabinet bachelors heard this, they all looked at him strangely.

Even Emperor Chu glanced at Ma Wenhua subconsciously.

When Ma Wenhua saw this, he seemed to notice something. After a moment, he realized it.

It turns out that what these old idiots just said was cursing.

“Actually, I think General Fang’s character is quite good.”

At this time, as if to relieve the embarrassment, the chief minister of the cabinet, Yan Zhuang, coughed twice and said this.

After hearing this, the other two bachelors smiled noncommittally, neither agreeing nor objecting.

“Since there is nothing else to do, gentlemen,”

Emperor Chu felt a little helpless when he saw this, but had nothing to say, so he was ready to speak and let them go back.

At this time, I saw the curtain of Nuan Pavilion being opened from the outside.

A eunuch walked in, looking slightly anxious.

When several important ministers saw him, their pupils shrank slightly.

It is impossible for these eunuchs to be so rude when His Majesty is discussing matters.

Now that this happened, it means that

several veterans were about to get up and leave, but stopped suddenly and looked at the two letters in the eunuch’s hands.

Emperor Chu still looked as motionless as a mountain, as if no matter what happened, he was still as strong as Mount Tai.

“Your Majesty, this is news from the Lin Guard on your right.”

The eunuch leaned over to Emperor Chu’s ear, whispered a few words, and then stepped aside.

Emperor Chu reached out to take the two letters, saw the handwriting and marks on them, and confirmed that they were submitted by Fang Xiu.

There was a look of surprise on his face.

The last time Fangxiu gave him a memorial, was it something else?

It seems to be an arsenal.

Emperor Chu frowned slightly and opened the first letter.

Then, read it line by line, word by word.

Until the end, there was no big change in expression, it could even be said that there was no change at all.

This left the people sitting under the case a little confused and at the same time feeling even more uneasy.

What happened that made the eunuch disregard etiquette and deliver these two secret letters to His Majesty?

However, at the end of the letter, they were disappointed.

After Emperor Chu read it, he said nothing or did nothing. He just put the letter aside.

At the same time, the second letter was opened.

This time, Emperor Chu’s expression changed significantly.

First there was surprise, then there was some surprise, and then there was some suspicion

. The changes in expressions were all visible to several people.

When Yan Zhuang saw it, he became more and more confused. If it weren’t for the restraint of etiquette, he would have wanted to ask His Majesty directly what the abbreviation in the letter was.

After a while, Emperor Chu finally finished reading the letter and put it down gently. His expression had become neither happy nor sad, making it difficult for people to guess and understand.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he handed the letter in his hand to the eunuch Liu Cheng who was waiting behind him: “Please take a look at the contents of this letter.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Everyone said in unison They all bowed.

First, Yan Zhuang took the letter from Liu Cheng’s hand and read it carefully.

His expression was exactly the same as His Majesty’s.

Just be more exaggerated.

When the other three saw this scene, their curiosity almost reached its peak.

What on earth could have caused His Majesty and Mr. Yan to show such expressions?

Could it be that the Qiyan tribe has declared war on me, Da Chu?

Thinking about it carefully, it’s unlikely.

First of all, the time is not right.

Even if we work hard, it still takes seven days and seven nights to get from the capital of Chu State to the Qiyan Department.

It took just over half a month for the court to make a decision.

Even if the people from the Qiyan Department directly decided to go to war with me, Dachu, without any discussion, the delay on the way back and forth would be half a month.

This is impossible.

So what is it?

It seemed, probably, that the eunuch mentioned the words “You Yu Lin Wei” in His Majesty’s ear just now.

Although it was hazy and hard to hear clearly, it seemed to be the case.

Could it be that Fang Xiu did something messy again?

The minds of several people were spinning a thousand times. At this time, Yan Zhuang had already read the letter in his hand and handed it to them.

After the three of them looked at it one by one, they all fell silent.

Suddenly, the entire cabinet became extremely quiet.

In the end, it was Emperor Chu who spoke first: “What do you think of what General Fang said?”

The meaning of this sentence was to let them discuss it,

but

they didn’t know what this so-called heavenly punishment was. How to negotiate.

Moreover, its sound is like thunder, its power is like a rainbow, and its power is like a meteorite falling to the ground. This divine punishment from heaven

is too exaggerated.

To be honest, the first reaction of several people after reading it was that Fang Xiu was bragging.

Or in other words, taking credit.

But although that kid Fang Xiu is a little confused, he is a bit smarter than everyone here, even though he suffers from a brain disease.

But with more contact and deeper understanding, you will understand what the so-called brain disease is.

This kind of thing cannot be due to brain disease.

So, what is going on?

Could it be that there really is something like the sound described in Fang Xiu’s letter in this world, which is as loud as thunder, as powerful as a rainbow, as powerful as a meteorite falling to the ground, and as a punishment from heaven?

If there really is, then what do the grassland tribes mean?

Even if the imperial court wants to unify the world, isn’t it always a simple matter?

Several people looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn’t even dare to speak.

After all, this matter involves too much.

Moreover, I don’t know His Majesty’s thoughts on this matter. No one has just expressed their opinions, so they can only lower their heads, remain silent, and pretend to be thinking.

In fact, you are just waiting for someone to stand in front of you and be the first to speak.
