Most of the princes who came this time followed Tianshui Hou to increase their momentum and planned to make trouble for the Jiang family.
But at this time, who dares to speak?
Anyone who speaks out to defend Tianshui Marquis is going against the gods and His Majesty, and does not want His Royal Highness the Princess to recover from her condition.
At this time, Fatty Xuan’s mind also changed. He had always been a person who watched the excitement and was not afraid of big troubles. He immediately started shouting: "Marquis Tianshui, you usually brag about yourself and say that among the princes in the world, you are the second best when it comes to loyalty.
Dare to be ranked number one. Now the time has come to test your loyalty, but you refuse and stand in the way. What's going on?"
"Marquis Tianshui, just now you punished my nine tribes with one sentence from the left and my nine tribes with the other sentence from the right. Now you don't want to punish your nine tribes. You only slap yourself three times and then you back down?"
Naturally, Jiang Chen would not let go of the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, and said with a click of his tongue: "It seems that the so-called loyalty is the best in the world. It is a joke made by Marquis Tianshui to make everyone happy, and it cannot be taken seriously."
Marquis Tianshui originally came here to see Jiang Hanhou's jokes, and to add insult to injury. But in the current situation, he himself has become the target of public criticism, which is beyond his wildest dreams.
After all, Marquis Tianshui is an old official in the officialdom. He quickly calmed down and said solemnly: "Don't say slap me three times, my Majesty asked me to kill myself. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the country, as long as it can share your Majesty's worries,
The old minister won’t even frown. Jiang Chen, kid, it’s easy for me to slap you three times for sharing your majesty’s worries. But what if you are joking?”
Yes, if this kid was joking, wouldn't it mean that the emperor and his ministers all made fun of him?
Jiang Chen's tone became cold: "Marquis Tianshui, you can insult me, Jiang Chen, but you cannot blaspheme the gods! Your Majesty, this person has made rude remarks again and again. The gods are angry. I am afraid that I can do nothing about the princess's condition."
Already..."
Dongfang Lu was shocked when he heard this, and was angry in his heart. Why are you, Marquis of Tianshui, so verbose? Are you really so loyal and patriotic? Wouldn't it be over with three slaps on your face? Can't you just find a step and go down by yourself? I have to speak in person.
, so that I can be used to bully my subordinates?
When the thought came to this, Dongfang Lu was also extremely unhappy and raised his eyebrows slightly. Tianshui Hou was very good at observing words and expressions, and spent a lot of time studying the mood, anger, sorrow and joy of the king.
When Dongfang Lu raised his eyebrows, he knew that His Majesty was really angry. In a hurry, he slapped himself seven or eight times in a row with lightning speed.
Every stroke was firm, and he knew that the harder the strokes, the more likely it would be able to dispel His Majesty's anger.
After this round of slaps, his whole face almost turned into a pig's head.
After a round of slaps, all eyes focused on Jiang Chen again.
Jiang Chen calmly said: "I asked you to be slapped three times, what do you mean by being slapped seven or eight times in a row? Are you not convinced? Are you disobedient to this god's will? Or are you dissatisfied with His Majesty? That's all, this kind of thing will be done reluctantly for the time being.
I must forgive you this time."
He didn't care, but Tianshuihou's comrades quit. Seeing Tianshuihou slap himself in the face, they couldn't persuade each other.
But after the beating, it’s okay to give Tianshui Hou an explanation, right? The beating can’t be in vain, right?
Immediately, a guy jumped out: "Jiang Chen, how long are you going to keep pretending? Marquis Tianshui also slapped you. If you can't say that you are ugly and ugly, you will be punished by an extra level."
"Yes, if you can't explain it, you are just bullying the emperor, making fun of everyone in the court, and punishing the nine tribes."
These guys really vent their anger out of one nostril, and even the mantra of "Kill the Nine Tribes" is exactly the same.
Jiang Chen yawned lazily and said casually: "Your Majesty, it is an extremely sacred thing for the gods to appear. These guys will kill the nine tribes with one word from the left and the nine tribes from the right. If they piss off the gods, they are not afraid of delaying them.
Did you find out about the princess’s condition? Are the Nine Clans really being killed?”
After saying that, Jiang Chen simply walked a few steps forward, stood in front of these old guys, and started scolding them righteously.
"You are jumping up and down one by one. Have you really considered the princess's condition?"
"What has become of such a sacred thing as treating the princess in your eyes? Has it become a tool to suppress political opponents and bully good people?"
"Marquis Tianshui, you keep saying that you want to kill the nine members of the Jiang family. If I, Jiang Chen, are not lucky enough to be killed, how will the princess's illness be conveyed to His Majesty through my mouth? Your so-called loyalty to the monarch means that you are killing Your Majesty.
Are you going to take the life of the princess as a way out?"
"You guys are awesome, you are awesome. Which one of you will stand up and tell me, Your Highness, what is going on? I don't have this ability, but I am jealous of others, and you don't allow me to pass through to convey the will of the gods? Besides, I was almost killed.
Is it easy for me to die with a stick in exchange for a dream from the gods? If the gods are angry and leave, can you bear this responsibility? "
"Finally, I want to ask you, if the gods are really angry and demand the execution of your nine tribes before they are willing to rescue the princess? You claim to be extremely loyal, are you willing to sacrifice the nine tribes to share His Majesty's worries?"
All kinds of happiness and dissatisfaction in Jiang Chen's heart were unleashed through this barrage of questioning. It was like a black cloud was pressing down on the city, so that every prince could not breathe and was stunned for a moment!
Especially the last question caused the expressions of those princes to change drastically, and they all fell into silence.
Originally, they came to help Tianshui Hou build momentum, suppress the Jiang family, and add insult to injury. But now, even with their courage, they dare not make any mistakes.
What if this kid really used the will of the gods to trick your majesty into killing the nine tribes...
Considering His Majesty's doting on the princess, this kind of thing is not impossible!
Seeing the pale faces of these people, Jiang Chen only felt one word in his heart——
Cool!
It turns out that it can be so satisfying to point at these unscrupulous old guys and yell at them.
Especially these old guys, all of whom are in high positions and think they are awesome.
"Okay, okay, Jiang Xiaohou, I've scolded those who deserved. I've beaten those who deserved to be beaten. At this juncture, the princess's condition is the most important thing."
At this time, a neutral person finally came forward to smooth things over. It stands to reason that neutral people would not be afraid of big trouble if they watch the excitement. But if the excitement continues now, His Majesty the King will feel anxious.
"The princess's condition?" Jiang Chen was stunned, "Who said the princess is sick? Didn't I just say that the princess is not sick?"
It was the same trick again. Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng was glanced at by Dongfang Lu, and immediately felt a chill on his forehead. He kept thinking in his heart, brat, just say what you have to say in one breath, don't make people's appetites any more.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, did the Tengu eclipse the sun on the day Your Highness the Princess was born?" Jiang Chen had a somewhat calm smile on his lips.
Dongfang Lu was startled. How did he know this? Could it be that there was really a dream coming from a god? The eclipse of the sun by the Tengu is regarded as a bad omen in the world.
Therefore, Dongfanglu has always kept this matter secret.
"Not only Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also the day when Her Royal Highness's mother was born was a Tengu Eclipse. The days of birth for nine generations of women were Tengu Eclipses. In this way, through the nine generations, the energy of the sun was missing. By the ninth
Generation, it will become the body of Taiyin!"
When Jiang Chen said the words "Tai Yin Body", he was also very sad. This was a problem that had troubled him for millions of years in his previous life, and even his father, the Emperor of Heaven, could not completely solve it.
Therefore, when he saw Dongfang Zhiruo, he felt a sympathy for her, and naturally recognized the crux of Dongfang Zhiruo's problem at a glance.
It was precisely because of sympathy for each other that he survived from pretending to be dead. Because he found a solution to the crisis in Jiang Hanhou's mansion from the princess.
He offended the royal family simply because he farted during the sacrifice to heaven. And what is the purpose of offering sacrifice to heaven? Isn't it just to pray for Dongfang Zhiruo?
If he could solve Dongfang Zhiruo's problem, wouldn't this be the most perfect way to deal with the aftermath?
This Dongfang Zhiruo was born with a lunar body, and it is rare to find one such person in millions. Unexpectedly, the reincarnation of the past and present life would allow him, Jiang Chen, to meet one.
I have to say, nature is miraculous.
Dongfang Zhiruo was an ordinary person, so her fate was naturally not as good as that of Jiang Chen in her previous life. Without a father who was the Emperor of Heaven, and without the Sun and Moon Divine Pill to extend her life, her life span was naturally very low.
She is now thirteen years old, and according to various diagnoses, it is difficult for Dongfang Zhiruo to live past the age of fourteen.
Dongfang Lu, who loves his daughter so much, will hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven to pray for his beloved daughter.
"The body of Taiyin?" The monarchs and ministers in the hall whispered to each other. Obviously, they had never heard of this word. If Jiang Chen hadn't said it had a nose and eyes, they would have almost scolded Jiang Chen for making it up.
It took a long time for Dongfang Lu to recover from the shock. At least, Jiang Chen was absolutely right about the issue of Tengu eating the sun.
Dongfang Zhiruo, as well as Dongfang Zhiruo's biological mother, did encounter a vision of the Tengu eclipsing the sun when they were born.
At this moment, Dongfang Lu really believed it. This boy from the Jiang family might have really received instructions from the gods and conveyed the gods' will.
"Could it be said that my sincerity in offering sacrifices to heaven has moved heaven and earth? Has it moved the gods?" Dongfang Lu was extremely excited and asked with a very low posture, "Jiang Chen, can this lunar body be cured?"
"The body of Taiyin is not a disease, but a natural disability. If Her Royal Highness the Princess does not practice martial arts and qi from birth, she will be fine if she lives to thirty or fifty years old. The bad thing is that she practices forcefully and hurts her original body.
The middle Qi is unstable. Therefore, if there is no external intervention, Her Highness the Princess will not be able to reach the threshold of sixteen years old."
This diagnosis is relatively close to the diagnosis made by imperial doctors.
After hearing these words, more and more people felt that Jiang Chen had really received instructions from the gods? Otherwise, how could he explain it in such detail?
Dongfang Lu hurriedly asked: "External interference? In other words, is there anything that can be done with this Taiyin body?"
"This is not a disease in the first place, so there is naturally a solution. The first step is to stop practicing martial arts and stop taking those pills that improve the meridians. Otherwise, in half a year, it will be difficult to cure even with divine means.
"
At these words, Dongfang Lu's heartbeat quickened, and he even thought he was lucky. He had always thought that Dongfang Zhiruo was weak, so he insisted on letting Dongfang Zhiruo practice. Even if he failed in practice, it was good to strengthen his body.
Unexpectedly, this practice not only had no effect, but had the opposite effect. And those pills turned into life-threatening poisons.
"What's the next step?" Dongfang Lu was like a devout student, not ashamed to ask.
"With all due respect, Your Royal Highness Princess doesn't need to think about martial arts in this life. She has a Taiyin body, and her Yang life is not long. In the final analysis, the problem is to prolong life. The process is destined to be long, and it is not something that can be accomplished overnight. In a word, if Your Majesty,
If you can trust me, your Highness the Princess’s life will be entrusted to me. If you can’t trust me, Your Majesty can order me to be put on death row..."
"Jiang Qing, please don't say such things. When I heard what you said, I was really enlightened. From now on, Zhiruo's affairs will be left to you. As long as you ask, I will give you whatever you want. In addition, I will give you the royal dragon carving token.
With this belt card, you can enter and leave the palace freely. Even if you see me, you don't have to kneel down to me."
He is worthy of being the king of a country, but his skills are unmatched by ordinary people. A moment ago, he was shouting at Jiang Chen to kill him, but at this moment, he was directly given the royal carved dragon token, and he didn’t have to kneel down when he saw the king. This was a royal court.
It’s a treatment that even the three middle-aged men can’t enjoy.
Tianshuihou wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Your Majesty did not slap him on Tianshuihou's face, but treating Jiang Chen so favorably would be even more severe than slapping Tianshuihou directly.
