The court bell rang, and the officials filed in, many of them even yawning.
The emperor is okay and works from home, but these courtiers have to rush to the Qinzheng Palace in sedan chairs before dawn, which is the most tiring.
On the throne, Emperor Chu already had faint dark circles under his eyes, and his expression told others that the idea just now was pure fart.
He walked from the Taiji Palace bedroom to the reception room of Qinzheng Palace and sat on the sedan chair for half an hour...
Is it okay to work from home?
Who built the house so big?
From the bedroom to the living room, Emperor Chu had to go to the toilet twice!
Why do courtiers and emperors try their best to avoid war?
Of course, it’s because during wartime, the morning meeting once every five days will become once every day. It’s really uncomfortable to have to get up at the fifth hour, and it’s even more uncomfortable to do it every day!
Why is the wise king so enthusiastic about fighting?
nonsense!
He doesn’t have to go to court in the morning!
But complaining is nothing but complaining. You still have to go to court in the morning.
The Emperor of Chu managed to gather some energy and began to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and then said perfunctorily: "All the ministers are equal."
But then Emperor Chu discovered a familiar figure among the courtiers. At first he thought he was hallucinating, but after a closer look, standing in front of the courtiers, wasn't it King Qi who had been missing for many days?!
The King of Qi never missed the morning court in the past. I really felt empty without seeing the King of Qi these days. If I hadn't sent someone to check, I would have thought something was wrong with the King of Qi.
If you don't go to court or face the Holy Spirit, what are you doing at home all day long?
Many courtiers felt as if they had seen a ghost when they saw the previous King of Qi. Could it be that His Highness the King of Qi has not given up his position as the crown prince yet and has been keeping a low profile for many days and is already planning to return to the court?
So where should they go? Should they follow His Highness Prince Feng, or should they return to His Highness Prince Qi's tent?
This made them think deeply.
Of course, the six ministers, the ministers of the nine temples, and the imperial censors were still what they should be, and there were no big mood swings about whether King Qi would go to court or not.
As steady as an old dog.
After the war breaks out, the first thing in the morning every year is to share the good news from the frontline battlefield with the courtiers. This can also have an inspiring effect and make the originally lifeless court become active.
Now everything is going smoothly on the front line, and good news comes frequently, every day.
Their army of Chu State can be said to have pushed forward all the way. If they were not worried that the defense line of the captured territory was unstable and easy to be attacked by Wanyan Khan who returned for reinforcements, maybe now their army could push all the way to Wanyan
In front of the department gate.
Now the Chu State's army has stopped advancing, consolidating the captured land, and strictly guarding the front line, waiting for Wanyan's army to come back for reinforcements. If it can eat Wanyan's army, the Chu State's army can be on the grassland.
They can travel unimpeded, and most of the grassland can belong to their Chu country.
This is simply exciting news!
But when the Emperor of Chu told the courtiers the great news, he was not as excited as he had imagined. The courtiers still spoke in the same tone as usual: "Chu will be victorious!"
They were tired of hearing the news of Chu's victory. It was inspiring at first, but now they are basically indifferent.
When Chu suffers a defeat, it might be possible to arouse their enthusiasm for discussing state affairs.
Emperor Chu also sighed slightly, yes, it is no longer a surprise if he wins a lot, just like Zhou is no longer a stranger if he loses a lot, Zhao is no longer a stranger if he cedes a lot of land...
Being invincible is also a kind of loneliness.
At this moment, King Feng came out and said: "To inform my father, the day before yesterday, my father ordered my son to reform the deficiencies in martial arts. I have all rectified them one by one according to my father's will. I came here to reply to my father's order."
After King Feng finished speaking, he didn't wait until King Qi came to pick him up, which made him a little anxious.
Hurry!
Say that you have omitted many shortcomings and did not reform the system. Say that this is a great achievement. Say that this is a perfunctory response to national affairs.
Say it quickly!
What happened to Brother Qi Wang?!
Emperor Chu smiled and nodded. Prince Feng was the one who wanted to save his worries. In the past, he always played the trick of balancing merits and demerits with him. Do you really think you can't see it?
All are leftovers from my own years of playing...
Past experience told him that when destiny wants you to be emperor, no matter how you try to balance merits and demerits, it will be useless.
With his talent so obviously exposed, do you still expect to lose the throne to King Qi or King Xin in the future?
King Qi has given up on himself, and King Xin has given up on himself from the beginning. If he does not pass the throne to King Feng, does he have a second choice?
At this moment, King Xin, who was standing in front of King Qi, took a nap, his head shook for a moment and then quickly raised up, and he even made a hum in his throat unconsciously.
Emperor Chu turned his attention to King Xin and said, "King Xin, are you dissatisfied with what King Feng said?"
King Xin immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Prince Feng is right, I have no dissatisfaction at all."
Emperor Chu smiled and nodded, then looked at King Qi, his mortal enemy who had been fighting with King Feng for many years, and said, "Where are you, King Qi? But what do you think about what King Feng said?"
As soon as Emperor Chu finished speaking, the most excited person was Prince Feng. He was already praying desperately. Brother Qi Wang must memorize that piece of paper. Say it quickly. If you say it, half of the prince's position will be yours!
King Feng's prayer seemed to have an effect. King Qi raised his hands and said, "Go back to my father, I think what King Feng's brother said is right."
King Feng: “!!!”
Emperor Chu: "???"
Did this guy change his gender today?
What did he just hear? Was Prince Feng and the Emperor's brother right?
Is King Xin possessed?
King Qi looked at King Xin who was taking a nap, and then at King Qi. At this moment, King Chu was already thinking about whether to invite Taoist Master Chunyang over to perform a ritual to ward off evil spirits or something.
Is this what King Qi should say?
And King Feng looked at King Qi in disbelief, his eyes seeming to say: How could you do this?
Until after he retired from the court, King Qi did not say another word.
King Feng was once again highly praised by the Emperor of Chu. Today, King Feng has to correct his shortcomings in the martial arts examination. At the critical moment, no one can be trusted!
At this moment, King Feng felt betrayed from this world!
Just when King Feng was about to burst into tears, King Qi came over from the side and apologized: "Brother, I'm so sorry. This was not my brother's original intention. It was originally good, but who knew that once I went to court, my brother would be like this?"
My mind is completely blank. It must be because I am too tired from not going to court these days. The emperor also knows that my brother has not gotten up so early for a long time. If he takes a good rest and recharges his energy, he will definitely be able to return to normal."
Prince Feng thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to make sense. He said, "Brother Huang is right. You should have a good rest."
King Qi said: "I heard that Huangdi's tea has the effect of calming the mind and calming the Qi. Huangdi, do you think it is..."
