Chapter 3607: Not enlightened enough?
Facing these three old foxes, each one is smarter than the last and more difficult to deal with than the last.
If I want to catch the three of them through the loopholes in their words, it will really not be an easy task.
Of course, the reason why I think so in my heart is not because I have any dissatisfaction with the three of them.
He didn't even think about what to do to the three old foxes.
Mainly because the three of them would always make jokes in front of me and pretend to be confused, which was really annoying.
Master, am I, the king of a country, not enlightened enough?
Don’t you know that since the day when I, the current emperor, this young master officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor?
As for today, more than seven years have passed, nearly eight years.
During these seven years and more, among the hundreds of civil and military officials who ranked second in the court, was there any official who was convicted of a crime for his speech?
In addition, among all the officials in various state capitals, is there any official who has been convicted for his speech?
Let’s just talk about the current chief minister of the cabinet, Xia Gongming, that old miscellaneous... old... Mr. Xia.
Over the years, Mr. Xia has mercilessly attacked me, the king of the country, in court, so many times that I can hardly remember it.
There were several times when Mr. Xia almost pointed at my nose and rebuked me.
Xia Gongming has already made it this far, what if I don’t give him up in the end?
Moreover, instead of doing anything to this young master, I actually provided him with delicious food and drink.
Sometimes, you have to use kind words and persuasion to coax him.
Afraid that he might not be able to take a breath and suddenly die accidentally, he drove west to meet the late Emperor Ruizhong.
Damn it, this young master and I, the king of a country, are already like this.
As the king of a country, am I not liberal enough?
Throughout the past dynasties, the relationship between monarchs and ministers has been able to get along to this point. If you count carefully on your fingers, how many people can you find?
Under such circumstances, if there is any issue between our monarch and his ministers, wouldn’t it be enough to speak openly and honestly?
The results of it?
These old foxes, big and small, have to play with their little thoughts and tricks.
They have to pretend to be confused about some things that are obviously very clear to you.
For such a situation, how could I not have any resentment in my heart?
After all, I am not a saint who doesn't care about anything.
It's a pity that these old foxes are too cunning.
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be able to find any clues about them.
Liu Mingzhi reacted from his silence, glanced sideways at the three Song and Qing people who were puffing away the clouds, and shook his head with a chuckle.
Immediately, he chuckled and turned his attention to Krich.
Okay, for now, let’s continue discussing the official business of the Joint Chamber of Commerce with Creech.
As for other issues, it’s not too late to wait until you have free time in the future to deal with them slowly.
"Krich."
Hearing this, Krich quickly raised his hand to fan the light smoke lingering in front of him.
"Hey, are you there, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the light smoke in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Immediately, he first raised the jade fan in his hand and gently fanned the light smoke in front of him a few times, then leaned directly over the soles of his feet and knocked out the handful of shredded tobacco that had only been smoked in the pot.
When the tobacco fell to the ground, it was still burning.
The light curls of smoke rose slowly from the handful of tobacco.
Liu Dashu saw the situation, chuckled and directly raised his right foot to step on the tobacco and twisted it silently a few times.
Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, and Nangong Ye saw Young Master Liu's behavior and exchanged vague glances with each other. They all hurriedly leaned over and knocked out the shredded tobacco from their own smoking pots, and then stepped on it.
.
Zhang Kuang and the others knew very well that Young Master Liu's intention in asking for shredded tobacco just now was not to have a pot of dry tobacco at all.
As for what his real purpose is, the three of them understand it tacitly!
Seeing Song and Qing's unintentional actions, Keric looked stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly bent over and knocked out the tobacco pot under his feet. He had only smoked about half of the shredded tobacco.
When he straightened up and stamped out the tobacco on the ground, he immediately looked at Young Master Liu again with a confused look on his face.
"Mr. Liu?"
Young Master Liu looked at Krich's confused expression, gently shook the jade fan in his hand, and turned back to look outside the room.
He casually glanced at the drizzle that still hadn't stopped outside the door, and turned back with a faint smile.
"Krich, have you had lunch?"
Hearing Young Master Liu's question, Krich subconsciously shook his head.
"Mr. Hui Liu, not yet."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and raised his eyebrows twice. He gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand with one hand, and casually placed it on the table with the other hand and tapped lightly on the rice paper under his fingertips.
"Krich, according to the time on our side of the dragon, it should be around noon now.
At noon, it’s time to have lunch.”
When Krich heard what Mr. Liu said, the look on his face was instinctively startled.
Soon, he reacted.
After muttering to himself in a hurry, Krich looked at Mr. Liu with a smile on his face, and then glanced at his fingers that were tapping lightly on several pieces of rice paper. Suddenly, something appeared in front of his eyes.
One light.
In an instant, he vaguely understood something.
Young Master Liu looked at Krich's reaction of sudden realization, gently shook the jade fan in his hand, and couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Otherwise, smart people like to deal with smart people the most?
Because sometimes, dealing with smart people is a very easy thing.
Krich let out a silent sigh with an indifferent expression, and immediately turned his head and glanced at Amina, Kriiko, and Tinia sitting on both sides of him.
"lady."
"Hey, I'm here.
Master, what’s wrong?”
"Madam, why are you still sitting there?
Didn't you hear Mr. Liu say that it's time for lunch? Why don't you hurry up and prepare for the banquet?"
As soon as Krich finished speaking, he immediately winked at Amina calmly.
Amina caught Creech's eye gestures, and suddenly understood, she nodded a few times, and then stood up from the chair.
"Hey, okay, okay, I understand. I will prepare a banquet right away."
Seeing that his wife had realized his extension, Keric breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tiniya, Iko."
"Hey, the kid is here."
"My daughter-in-law is here."
"Tiniya, Iko, your mother may be too busy to prepare for the banquet by herself.
You two, stop sitting here and go help your mother together."
"Yeah, yeah, kid, I understand."
