All those great principles seemed to be held in his stomach at this moment.
Seeing this, Xia Yan asked with concern: "Prime Minister Zhu, what are you doing? Why don't you tell me?"
Zhu Ming breathed heavily and looked around, as if he no longer cared about what Xia Yan said.
The rest of the people were not much better. Yuan Liyang kept fanning himself with the palm of his hand, while muttering: "The weather is a bit hot."
The most exaggerated one is undoubtedly Chen Heishan. Since he is the only one among them who has a military background, many aspects are relatively straightforward.
At this moment, Chen Heishan directly took off his court clothes, revealing his not-so-perfect upper body.
Xia Yan couldn't help but turn around when he saw this group of people.
It was a bit uncomfortable because I had to hold back my laughter.
After a while, Zhu Ming stood up silently. It seemed that it was difficult to accommodate him here anymore. Now he just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
If possible, you should see if your concubine has gone out shopping, and if so, see if any of the maids are interested in improving her status.
If you can't find her in this way, it's not impossible to find your first love, the old lady who is now over 70 years old.
Due to the relocation of the capital, it would take at least half an hour for Zhu Ming to return from the palace in Lake City to his home in Nanling City, where Zhu Di was assigned.
Zhu Ming had already calculated that it would be extremely difficult for him to hold back for half an hour, let alone continue the discussion here.
In short, Zhu Ming doesn't want to stay here anymore, not even for a moment.
The other people are similar, and their residences are almost all in Nanling. It will take a lot of time to go back.
However, how could Xia Yan allow several people to leave so quickly? She smiled and her tone was slightly serious.
"Prime Minister Zhu, you haven't convinced me that I can't lead the expedition myself, and you want to leave so soon? Then what's the point of me asking you to come?"
Persuading? Now Zhu Ming doesn't have the slightest intention to persuade. He wants to run away immediately.
But Xia Yan's face turned gloomy at this moment, and his tone was even more chilling.
"I kindly asked you to discuss it, but this is what you are doing?"
Seeing Xia Yan like this, although tens of thousands of flames were burning in their hearts, they still maintained some sense after all.
In desperation, I could only go back and sit down.
But even after the people sat down, the evil fire in their hearts showed no sign of diminishing. Instead, it became more intense as time passed, causing several people to sit on pins and needles and keep looking around.
Xia Yan looked at these people and smiled in his heart, "I asked you to go to Yixiangyuan all the time without paying and wasting my country's resources. Now this can be regarded as a small lesson to you!"
Of course, Xia Yan would not tell anyone. At this moment, his task was to tell a few people about his personal expedition.
"Guys, the last time I personally went on a personal expedition, it was just an accident. This time I am still relatively confident that I can win. You need to believe me."
"..."
"..."
Several people wanted to say rejection, but at this moment they discovered that they no longer even had the intention to speak.
Everyone was scratching their heads and blushing, wishing that God would give them a pair of wings to fly in the sky right now.
However, just as everyone was trying to endure it, a young eunuch's voice came from outside the door.
This little eunuch is none other than Xiao Haozi. "Your Majesty, I've brought you here."
Hearing Xiao Haozi's voice, Xia Yan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, bring it in."
Then, Xiao Haozi pushed the door open, and seven beautiful women came in.
It can be seen that all seven of them are wearing heavy makeup. Although they don't look like ordinary women, it is undeniable that all seven of them are very beautiful.
Moreover, after seeing the seven people, the seven old men exclaimed in surprise.
"Qi Yu?!"
"Yali???"
"Nanya?!"
"..."
The seven old men all accurately called out the names of the seven women.
The seven women were the seven courtesans in Yixiang Courtyard in Lake City, and they were also the seven old men who often gave money to them but refused to give them money afterward.
Among the seven of them, each of the old men had to pay at least ten times.
But when it came time to pay, these old people refused to pay in cash because they came here to work.
It is precisely because of this that the operating conditions of Nanhu Yixiangyuan are not so optimistic.
At this moment, the seven people looked at the seven oirans in Yixiangyuan and almost burst into tears. They were just about to be burned by evil fire and they were here. It was like rain from heaven!
However, just as the seven people stood up and prepared to greet their oiran, they were shouted at by Xia Yan.
"Why, I just called them here to give you a shoulder rub. What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, all seven people were dumbfounded, and Zhu Ming almost burst into tears on the spot.
Just like that, all seven people sat back down, while the seven oirans smiled and pinched their shoulders.
It's okay not to pinch. When the seven people's soft and delicate hands touched the seven uncles, all seven people felt as if an electric current was triggered in their bodies, and they all showed pain on their faces.
It’s no longer possible, I’m going to get exhausted if I hold it in any longer!!!
By now, if the seven of them still didn't know what Xia Yan was planning, they would have spent so many years in vain.
But at this moment, they had endured it for more than half an hour and felt that they had reached their limit. If they didn't explode, their lives would be in danger.
Soon, the first traitor appeared among the seven, and Yuan Liyang stood up with runny nose and tears.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Northern Expedition to Xidan is the right thing to do, and only your Majesty's talent and strategy can be qualified for the position of commander-in-chief!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Ming looked shocked for a moment, "Good guy, this guy has rebelled?"
However, Yuan Liyang was not the only one, Xu Jing also stood up at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I feel the same way. The Northern Expedition must be carried out by Your Majesty personally, and no one else is qualified!"
Xia Yan laughed when he heard this, and just took out a piece of paper and a piece of red ink behind him.
"Master Yuan, Master Xu, it's not that I don't believe you two, it's just that if the court doesn't come up with some evidence, it will be hard for the officials to believe that you are willing to support me. So, as long as you are here
If your fingerprints are printed on this, I will let you leave immediately with your oiran, what do you think?"
After hearing this, the two people's originally rosy faces turned slightly blue. They first looked at each other and then at the people behind them, seeming a little confused. This chapter has been completed!
