Chapter 126 Unreasonable
The news that Emperor Chu issued an order to remove the title of King Qiannan and Xiao Chenxuan was also fined for one year soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jingchu.
In the Tianxia Restaurant under Xiao Chenxuan's name, many diners were discussing how Xiao Chenxuan destroyed Mengduo's army, and then how he was punished by Chu Di? Now, in the center of the hall on the first floor, a young man who seemed to be a scholar muttered to his companion beside him.
"Have you heard it? Your Majesty issued an order that His Highness King Ji was defamed by the King of Qiannan and committed murder. In order to block the people of the world, His Majesty removed the title of King of Qiannan. His Highness King Ji was also fined a salary of one year by His Majesty to explain to the people of the world."
A young man next to the scholar drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp, put the chopsticks on his hand on the table, and said, "I want to tell me that His Highness King Ji is not wrong at all. Your Majesty should praise him, not punish him, otherwise there will be any problems after I go abroad, and who will dare to lead troops to fight in the future?"
A seemingly rough man said, ""You said you are a fool, don't you believe it?"
The young man who was talking just now kept looking back and forth on the rough man, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are a big and thick-bodied person, this is a fool! If you can't tell me what you are today, you can invite this wine today, don't ask!"
Hearing the young man's words, the seemingly rough man smiled and said, "This is what you said. If I say it, you can invite it, haha..."
The young man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What I said, as long as you can say it, I will treat you to this meal, otherwise, hehe..."
The seemingly rough man was not to be outdone and said with a smile: "Listen, I'm stupid. That's because the Tianshun Empire and Liang State got involved, and they actually accused our Chu State of killing too much, causing the large army of people to die among the large number of people who followed Mengduo to rebel. In order to block the mouths of these countries, the King of Ji who ordered the punishment. Now you finally understand why Your Majesty did not commend King of Ji! Today's moan, haha, you can invite him."
At this time, a man sitting next door stretched his head over and said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, I also heard that there is also! The people of Qianzhou feel that King Ji's killing was too heavy, which aroused the local public anger. These restless people then wanted to kill His Highness King Ji, but they knew that His Highness King Ji was not only a master, but also a guard was always there, but also heard that he was also very good at his skills. This group of people was not close to His Highness King Ji at all. As a last resort, these people turned to assassinating several princes in the Jingchu Imperial City. But you think, this prince can be easily assassinated by ordinary people."
Hearing the man's words, everyone nodded constantly and couldn't help but say, "That's right, prince! How can ordinary people compare to them? The guards around them are Li San.
The outer three layers.”
With everyone's approval, the man slapped the table in front of him and said, "Yes, these princes are also masters around them. Now, they just stabbed several princes and were caught by the guards around these princes. These assassins are all people, and they are not professional at all. They confessed without being punished. From these assassins, they learned that the reason for assassinating several princes was because of the excessive killing of King Ji in Qianzhou, which aroused public anger. After the ministers in the court learned about it, they impeached King Ji to His Majesty."
Hearing the conversation of several people, another young man said, "I want me to say it! You are good at killing. Your Majesty is good to Mengduoduo, but Mengduo doesn't think of your kindness and dares to rebel. He also took a large number of people from our Chu State as hostages to threaten the two princes. These people in the city are also strong men. None of them surrendered to Mengduo and chose to serve their country in life and death. You say, the two princes can't be angry when they watch thousands of people die in front of them? If it were me, I would have killed them like the two princes."
The diners at the table next door heard the discussion of several people, picked up a pot of wine, took the chopsticks in their hands and ran to the people to participate.
At this time, a businessman came to the next to several people, heard a few discussions, turned around and said to the waiter beside him, "I will pay for this table today, no problem!"
A waitress recruited in General Village said: "Only... as long as the guests agree, of course there is no problem."
The businessman said to the few people, "Brothers, Is it okay to set up a table with you?"
When several people heard the merchant wanted to treat him, they smiled and said, "No problem, of course no problem."
With the approval of several people, he immediately sat down, as if he had been chatting with them for a long time, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect that King Ji is also a ruthless person! He used to say that he was a wine fairy, and we businessmen always admired him, thinking that he could do business and write poetry, and that he was a lively literati. Unexpectedly, he led the 3,000 guards in his mansion to defeat the army of Mengduo's 100,000. Not only did he slaughter the army of Mengduo, but he also killed Mengduo on the spot. Think about it, could anyone else do this?"
Several people immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes! Yes! You definitely can't do it."
The merchant smiled and said, "So! I decided that I will come to Jingchu in the future! I will come here for dinner. Of course, I admire King Ji more. Come on, everyone raises their glasses. Today I will treat you. I will ask you to order whatever you want, haha..."
In Yao Xiang’s mansion, Yao Anran’s maid Xiaodie ran in from the yard and said with a smile.
"Miss, Miss, I say that Your Highness King Ji is back with great victory!"
Yao Anran had already received news from his grandfather and grandma, and said, "If you come back, come back, what does it have to do with me?"
"Miss, do you think His Highness King Ji is stupid? If you don't stay in the mansion and marry you, you will actually go to fight Mengduo. Now, I haven't gotten any credit, and the King of Qiannan lost his title and was fined for one year."
Hearing Xiaodie's words, Yao Xiangxinsheng, who was chatting with his wife, roared angrily and said, "Rareless, national affairs are not something you, a little maid, can you discuss about."
"I..." Xiaodie was startled by Yao Xiang's roar. After a few seconds, Xiaodie's scared tears suddenly burst out.
Seeing the maid Xiaodie crying, the old lady Yao, who was sitting opposite Yao, glared at Yao Xiang fiercely and said angrily: "You are immortal, what a national event? Jingchu has so many capable princes, why don't they go? Oh, only King Ji is capable! Besides, isn't the marriage of our baby granddaughter An Ran a big deal?"
Before Yao Xiang could speak, Yao An ran to hug his grandmother with a blushing face and said coquettishly: "Grandma, what are you saying? As a prince, King Ji is his duty to wipe out the rebels. As a good man, he should take the important responsibility of the country as his own. Besides, if he is a man who is greedy for pleasure and has no ambition, An Ran will not look down on him..."
After Yao Anran finished speaking, he covered his face and ran away quickly. The maid Xiaodie, who was still crying, watched Yao Anran leave and immediately followed quickly.
"Look, you are all used to it. Now you're ready. Before you get married, your arms are turned out." After Yao Anran left, Mrs. Yao calmed down and smiled at Yao Xiang.
At this time, Yao Xiang pointed at the old lady Yao and said, "You are so old that you haven't understood the truth yet."
Hearing Yao Xiang's words, Mrs. Yao refused to do it, and immediately threw it away and said loudly: "You said that the old man does not understand the truth. You are immortal. Over the years, you have put national affairs first. Everything in your family is a small matter. You are not allowed to do business at home. You say that you do not compete for profit with the people. Who is the family? You are not relying on your family? Otherwise, you would have starved to death long ago. Now, King Ji is on the battlefield. You say that a man should put state affairs first. Old man agrees with your statement. Now that King Ji is back, although he has been fined, he will soon go to the letter again. You don't care about your granddaughter's marriage. Are you going to delay your precious granddaughter's marriage? You are immortal. From today on, you will go to care about your national affairs! It is impossible for you to still be in charge of your food. Hum..."
