The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 80

[Chapter 80 Chief Assistant of the Cabinet]

Fang Xiu admits that he has never been one to retaliate for his flaws, but when faced with this kind of thing, he will never suffer the consequences of being dumb.

Looking at the direction in which the little eunuch left, he silently recorded his figure and appearance in his heart, just waiting for one day in the future to deal with him properly.

At this time, all the young eunuchs in Nuan Pavilion had walked out.

Fang Xiu probed his head to see what was going on inside, but he heard footsteps behind him.

Looking back, I saw several old men with gray hair and weathered faces walking into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

The old men were slightly startled when they saw Fang Xiu.

One of them, an old man who looked very burly, asked, “Who are you?”

Before he came up and said hello, he asked the person’s name. Is this old guy still polite?

Fang Xiu had a disdainful expression on his face, glanced at him, and asked, “Who are you?”

The old man obviously didn’t expect that the kid in front of him would answer him like this, and he was stunned for a moment.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and said with an angry look on his face: “I am Ma Wenhua, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Whose son are you, and you don’t recognize me?” Fang Xiu, the Minister

of the Ministry of War

, finally understood why these old people looked so weak. , which actually gives me such a great sense of oppression.

It turned out to be the heavenly official among the six tribes.

When Fang Xiu faced them, although he was not as reserved as facing Emperor Chu, he did not dare to be too arrogant.

He just replied: “My name is Fang Xiu, and I am General Zuo Zhonglang of the Yulin Guard.”

After saying that, he just looked at him without speaking or saluting.

The Yulin Guards are subordinate to the Qinjun Mansion and are commanded by Wu Xun. Although the military department among the six departments can be mobilized, they are not directly under the Shangguan.

However, ordinary pro-army generals, even generals, will still salute when they see the Minister of War.

However, no matter what you lose, you cannot lose your momentum.

Now that the words have been spoken, no matter how low-profile it is, it is useless. It is better to be more generous.

Fang Xiu originally thought that his attitude would make the Minister of War in front of him furious.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, he laughed twice, took two steps closer, and patted himself on the shoulder.

He said with a strong voice: “What a good boy, you can still be so calm when you see me. This courage and spirit are just like your father!”

Fang Xiu was startled for a moment, but he immediately reacted.

His cheap dad has been leading troops in various battles since he was young. Most of the people of similar age in the martial arts are his brothers who died together.

Although the Minister of War in front of him was not a martial artist, he should have been in battle. I think he had some interactions with his father.

The other old men had expressionless faces.

One of them glanced at Fang Xiu and said to Ma Wenhua: “Mr. Ma, state affairs are important.”

Ma Wenhua originally wanted to say something to Fang Xiu, but when he heard this, he just smiled awkwardly and responded: “Mr. Yan said Yes.”

The old man nodded slightly and took the lead into Nuan Pavilion.

The other old men, including Ma Wenhua, followed him and walked into Nuan Pavilion.

Fang Xiu was a little surprised when he saw this scene, but then he reacted immediately.

Being able to walk in front of the Minister of War, and everyone felt that it was natural…

The old man who spoke just now must be the head of the hundreds of officials of the Chu State – the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet! What big event is going to happen today

to the chief minister of the cabinet, the Minister of War, and those old men whose identities are unknown, but who can tell at a glance that they have extraordinary bearing

?

Fang Xiu stood outside Nuan Pavilion, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

Could it be really because of that letter of mine?

In the warm pavilion.

Emperor Chu’s face was as dark as water, and he looked at the letter on the case with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Next to him, the little eunuch serving him was walking on thin ice and did not dare to make a sound.

At this time, an old man walked into Nuan Pavilion, bowed solemnly, and said in a loud and authentic voice: “Your Majesty, I am here at Yanzhuang.”

After that, several old men saluted one after another.

Emperor Chu raised his eyes, glanced at them, and said: “Several Qing family members are here, please give me a seat.”

There was unconcealable fatigue in his voice.

After hearing this, several old men felt their hearts pounding.

Has something big happened recently?

Is it the northwest, southwest or grassland?

The little eunuch moved a few chairs quickly.

After several old men sat down, Yan Zhuang, the chief minister of the cabinet, asked: “Your Majesty, the Wanyan tribe of the grassland invaded the border?”

Emperor Chu shook his head and did not speak. He just picked up a memorial on the desk and said: “I have a memorial here. You will discuss state affairs after you read it.”

The young eunuch behind him hurriedly took the memorial and handed it to Yan Zhuang’s hand.

Yan Zhuang stretched out his hand to take the memorial, with a solemn look on his face, and read it carefully.

I thought it would be a report from the northern border, but after reading it, it turned out to be not the case.

What cabinet ministers usually do is to help Emperor Chu review memorials.

This memorial, which came from the southwest, had been read by the three cabinet bachelors present.

Although they felt very angry, they did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, the territory of Chu State is so vast. Although there is no war with other countries, there are many rebellions, large and small.

Five thousand elite soldiers were defeated by five hundred thieves. This matter is neither small nor big, and it does not deserve too much attention.

Therefore, after discussion among several bachelors, they decided to remove the general, and there was no other move.

Is it possible that His Majesty is not satisfied with the result of this handling?

After Yan Zhuang read the memorial, his expression did not change much, and he handed the memorial to the next important minister.

After reading it, the other two bachelors looked at each other, but neither of them had any reaction, and handed the memorial to the Minister of War.

This memorial was originally sent to the Ministry of War first, and then handed over to the cabinet by the Ministry of War.

As a Heavenly Official of the Ministry of War, Ma Wenhua naturally read it, so he had no reaction and passed the memorial to the lowest-ranking General Habayashi.

General Habayashi Wei is a burly middle-aged man. Because he often trains his soldiers, his skin is a little weathered. Standing next to a few old men, you can’t tell much difference.

After reading the memorial, his face first showed anger, and then he felt a little ashamed.

These were his colleagues after all.

Emperor Chu saw everyone’s expressions and said nothing.

After General Habayashi Wei read the memorial, he handed it to the young eunuch.

The young eunuch took it with both hands and placed it on the desk again.

There was some silence in the Nuan Pavilion for a while.

Yan Zhuang, the chief minister of the cabinet, thought for a while and said: “Removing the general is the decision of the ministers. If your Majesty feels it is inappropriate, you can re-dispose. The ministers have no objection.” The

Emperor of Chu did not speak, but looked at Ma Wenhua, the Minister of War .

.

Ma Wenhua screamed in his heart, but with an extremely ashamed expression on his face, he stood up, knelt on the ground, and said: “In this battle in the southwest, I have a responsibility. Please forgive me.”
