"Now that it has caused people to panic, they should be held accountable!"
Han Mulu's words did not cause much trouble.
Firstly, it is because the news of the battle in Yizhou will spread to the people sooner or later. Even if Zhao Huan leaks it in advance, he will not be held responsible.
Secondly, what kind of virtue did Zhao Huan have? Who knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?
It's obviously not worth offending that mad dog Zhao Huan for such a trivial matter.
On the other hand, Han Mulu is a bit suspected of "looking for trouble".
When Han Mulu found that no one in the inner court responded to him, his face turned red and he shrank back in frustration.
Zhao Ji ignored Han Mulu at all. Since this was the inner court and not the court hall, Zhao Ji seemed more at ease.
He clutched the brush and danced on the rice paper, asking absent-mindedly from time to time.
"My dear friends, what do you think the profound meaning of King Ding's move is?"
Cai Jing bowed his hands and said calmly: "It's nothing more than opportunism."
"King Ding thought that his reputation among the people was high, so he deliberately made the battle in Yizhou a fuss, in order to call on the civil servants in the northeast to go to Yizhou to help."
All the officials nodded and agreed with Cai Jing's conclusion.
Zhao Ji continued to paint on his masterpiece, took some energy and muttered to himself.
"The king is indeed well-known among the people. If he can really get help from heroes and righteous people in the world, I will be happy."
"But as the saying goes, any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Being too famous may not be a good thing."
Han Mulu, who was watching, admired Cai Jing.
With just a few words, Your Majesty began to be suspicious of Zhao Huan!
Today Zhao Huan can rely on his prestige to get the northern righteous men to support Yizhou. Tomorrow, wouldn't he be able to call on the people of the world to resist His Majesty?
At this moment, Zhao Ji's voice came again.
"The king has always been the most proud son in my heart, and he is also the eldest son of the emperor. If nothing unexpected happens, the king will be the crown prince in the future."
"As the saying goes, water can carry a boat or capsize it. I don't want my son to be dragged down by the so-called prestige among the people."
"But right now, everything is focused on Yizhou Prefecture."
Everyone present was a veteran, and naturally they understood Zhao Ji’s deep meaning immediately.
The first is that Zhao Huan is too famous and must be suppressed!
Second, be careful and don’t beat Zhao Huan to death in one go. If Zhao Huan falls, who else can defend Yizhou?
This was what Cai Jing was waiting for, and the knife was handed over directly.
"There is another incident today that caused a lot of noise and attracted a lot of criticism from the people."
"It's the Zhu family's big banquet!"
"Although Zhu Bocai is a veteran of three dynasties, he is still a minister after all, but the Zhu family's pomp is not ordinary."
"Nowadays, the country is in crisis, and the trend of diligence and thrift is prevalent both inside and outside the government. The Zhu family is so extravagant and wasteful. It not only brings a bad start, but also seems to be simple!"
Speaking of this, Cai Jing looked at Zhou Pu who was standing in the crowd and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder how Mr. Zhou views this matter?"
Because of Zhou Pu's special stance, he remained neutral and was dissatisfied with Zhao Huan, so he was promoted for the first time.
He has been promoted to the position of doctor in the Department of Rites.
Zhou Pu naturally understood Cai Jing's evil intentions, but he had to act according to the rules, so he immediately responded: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true."
"A few days ago, the Zhu family had already made a big announcement to summon all the clan members to the capital."
"It's just a matter of putting on lanterns and colorful decorations. The banquet prepared alone has eighty dishes."
"This has seriously exceeded the Zhu family's standards."
"but……"
Just when Zhou Pu was about to remind Zhu Bocai that he was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and should be given preferential treatment, he was interrupted by Cai Jing.
"Mr. Zhou is the leader of Qingliu Zhengchen. Even he said this, which shows how arrogant the Zhu family is!"
"Obviously relying on the power of King Ding, he is arrogant and has even forgotten the most basic rules."
Zhao Ji put down his pen, took the towel from the eunuch, wiped the sweat from his palms, and wrote lightly: "Since Zhu Bocai has forgotten, it is up to the minister to remind him."
Cai Jing quickly saluted: "My lord, I obey!"
At the same time, the Zhu family was already bustling with activity, and all clan members from the fifth server were present.
Just because today is a great day for the Zhu family and Prince Ding’s mansion to reunite!
As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Zhu family can reach a consensus today and will go all out to support Zhao Huan. From now on, there will be another powerful family behind Zhao Huan.
This is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
Zhu Lian dressed up, took Zheng Qingyun and two personal maids, and entertained the women in his house.
Those ladies and ladies who did not look at Zhu Lian seriously in the past have now changed their faces. They don't smile or speak, and they wish they could lift Zhu Lian to the sky.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is so lucky. In all the women in Bianjing, who doesn't envy the Princess?"
"That's right! The prince is no less ferocious than a tiger, but he has a tiger in his chest and is sniffing the roses."
"If I could have such a happy husband to protect me, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."
"What are you doing standing still? How long has it been since the sisters bowed to the princess? Take this opportunity to make up for it?"
"That's right! Sisters, hurry up."
Dozens of ladies and ladies in the inner house all stood up and bowed to Zhu Lian.
Zhu Lian responded with a smile on his face, but his heart was always cold, and he didn't take these so-called relatives at all.
It’s not that I’m narrow-minded, but it’s just in line with the old saying.
When you are poor in a busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
How can they respect Zhu Lian? Are they not looking after the man behind Zhu Lian?
However, the stage work still needs to be done. Zhu Lian raised his sleeves and swept them in front of the girls, his movements were full of elegance.
"Xiao Xia, Yu Shu, and all the ladies in the inner house will each be rewarded with a silver melon seed from the palace."
The palace rewards melon seeds with gold, and the palace naturally rewards melon seeds with silver.
The so-called "melon seeds" are actually small bumps with markings. They are not worth much, and their symbolic meaning is greater than their actual meaning.
certainly……
The golden melon seeds in the palace are not counted as they are pure gold after all...
The girls took the silver melon seeds and stuffed them into their waist purses, overjoyed.
Those who had good intentions started talking in whispers on the spot.
"It's true that things have changed. In the past, I was so poor that I was so poor, but now I can even cast silver melon seeds, hahaha..."
"Only the most powerful and wealthy princes will prepare silver melon seeds to reward their servants. It seems that the princess is really getting rich."
"Nonsense, hugging King Ding's lap, is there any reason not to say anything?"
"This is a bit unpleasant to say. What do you mean by hugging your thighs? They are a legitimate married couple."
"Isn't it because I'm envious? Who could have expected that Waste Ding would be as good as it is today? If I had known this, the girls in the clan would have fought to get into Prince Ding's palace."
