Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 553
"Returning to Your Majesty, the four Your Highness are Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Nanbohou E Chongyu, Xibohou Jichang, and Beibohou Chonghou Hu."

"Xibohou Jichang?" Zishou seemed taken aback, stood up directly from the throne, walked up to the four His Royal Highnesses, grabbed Jiang Huanchu's hand, and said solemnly: "Xibohou's virtuous name is lonely. It has been said for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation. After a while, Xi Bohou must not leave in a hurry, but he must host a banquet for Xi Bohou, and ask Xibo Hou for advice on how to govern the country."

And Jiang Huanchu grabbed his hands under the quilt, and yelled one by one, his face was almost green. He didn't think that Zishou really didn't know him. If this is the case, then the reason why Zishou did this is very clear.

However, although Jiang Huanchu knew why Zishou did this, he was still a little disgusted.

My son-in-law really hurt himself before hurting others!
Not to mention whether Ji Chang was disgusted by this trick, anyway, he was disgusted first.

Jiang Huanchu always had this reaction, let alone Ji Chang.

Seeing Zishou's sincere face, even Yi Jichang's city mansion is a little disgusted now.

You don't even recognize me and you've been famous for a long time?
I believe in you asshole!

As for the other people in the hall, their expressions are even more strange, because Shang Rong's introduction just now is actually very clear, so they can even recognize the wrong person. Didn't your majesty do it on purpose?
Of course, they were just thinking about this in their hearts, but no one dared to say it.

In the end, it was Jiang Huanchu who didn't hold back, and reminded with a dry cough: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the person. This minister is Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Dong Bo, and this is Marquis of Xi Bo."

Hearing what Jiang Huanchu said, Zishou was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a look of sudden realization: "It turns out that it is the head of the country. You can admit it by looking at Gu's eyes. But since the head of the country is here, don't rush to leave when you turn around. When the solitary banquet invites Xi Bohou, for the sake of the queen, he can be considered as the head of the country."

After finishing speaking, Zishou let go of Jiang Huanchu neatly, came to Ji Chang, grabbed Ji Chang's hand and said, "I've heard about Xibohou's virtuous name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation. Let's go to court in a while Afterwards, Xibohou must not leave in a hurry, but he must host a banquet for Xibohou, and ask Xibohou for advice on how to govern the country."

Seeing Zi Shou with a serious face, the corners of Ji Chang's mouth twitched undetectably.

Majesty, can you change the word?I just copied what I said just now, so I don’t need to fool people like this!

But anyway, Zishou was also praising him, so Ji Chang couldn't say anything yet.

In the end, Ji Chang could only say: "Your Majesty's words are serious, a little false name, but it's just the world's flattery, it can't be true, it can't be true."

Hearing what Ji Chang said, Zishou immediately said to the court full of admiration: "Have you seen it? This is the demeanor of a sage. If someone else has the sage name of Xibohou, I probably wish for it." Everyone in the world knows it, but look at Xi Bohou, he is still so humble, this is the real great sage!"

Ji Chang: What should I say?
Fortunately, after Zishou finished speaking, he finally stopped pestering her.

After returning to the throne and sitting down, Zi Shou suddenly asked: "Old Prime Minister, didn't you say that the princes of the world are congratulating you? Why are only four princes here? What about the other princes?"

Hearing this, Shang Rong really didn't understand what Zi Shou wanted to do.

Other princes?

Aren't the other princes just waiting outside!
But the traditional rule is that only princes and princes are eligible to enter the palace to congratulate!

However, no matter how hard he thought about it, since Zishou asked, he could only answer along with Zishou's question: "My lord, the other princes are waiting outside the palace, because there are too many of them. It is convenient to have an audience with the king, so the four chief princes represent them to the audience with the king."

"So that's the case." Zi Shou nodded suddenly, and those who didn't know thought he really didn't know what was going on.

Then Zishou changed the subject and said suddenly: "I heard that Hou Suhu of Jizhou has a personality like fire, upright and upright, and strict law enforcement. He is really a rare upright person. Today, I will make an exception and announce him into the palace. one sight."

Hearing what Zishou said, the others didn't think there was anything wrong, but Ji Chang felt a sudden thump in his heart, feeling something was wrong.

He still hadn't forgotten that when he had just discussed the marriage with Shang Rong, he called Shang Qingjun into the palace later.

Now, why is it that after talking about the marriage with Su Hu on the front foot, Su Hu is being targeted by Zi Shou on the back foot?
Although Zishou's reason for summoning Su Hu was reasonable, he still faintly felt that something was wrong, but naturally it was impossible for him to stop him under such circumstances, so he could only watch first.

And following Zishou's words, the left and right also responded with summons: "Hou Suhu of Xuanji Prefecture enters the palace!"

When the news spread outside the hall, Su Hu also felt a little strange.

He thought for a while, could it be because he didn't give gifts to those two ministers?
However, Su Hu then thought about it, anyway, now that Ji Chang is inside, and he is about to marry Ji Chang, what is there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Su Hu simply entered the hall.

"My minister, Hou Suhu of Jizhou, see Your Majesty."

Looking at Su Hu at the bottom of the steps, the corners of Zishou's mouth curled up in an undetectable arc.

"Aiqing is free of courtesy. I have heard of Aiqing's upright and strict orders. When I see you today, you really deserve your reputation."

Hearing this, Su Hu was taken aback.

praise me?

Shouldn't you be bothering me?

Youdao is a person who stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling face. Hearing what Zishou said, Su Hu could only say: "Your Majesty praised you absurdly. I just acted according to my duty."

However, what he didn't expect was that when he heard him say that, Zishou slapped his thigh and praised loudly: "It's a good one to act according to his duty, but Aiqing, don't think that these simple words are true. It's very simple, looking at the world, how many people can really abide by their duties? Aiqing can do what she is supposed to do, that's enough to deserve the praise that Gu gave you."

After listening to Zi Shou's words, many other people in the hall felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Zishou was talking to Su Hu, why did they think that the king was referring to Sang and scolding Huai?
Su Hu heard what Zishou said, but he kept his body straight, and said: "The king's words are not agreeable to the ministers. Since it is their duty, it is what they should do. It is the responsibility of a courtier to abide by his duty. Someone who can't even abide by his duty is in vain as a minister."

As soon as Su Hu's words came out, all the civil and military officials in the hall echoed them - no matter whether they agreed with Su Hu's opinion or not, they would definitely show their approval in front of Zi Shou now.

And actually?
Many people have darkened their faces in private.

Especially Xibohou Jichang.

Although he knew that Su Hu probably didn't mean to target anyone, why did he feel that Su Hu was cursing him around the corner?

You know, when Emperor Yi first came to the throne, he led Xiqi to set off a rebellion. Although he was honest for a while because he was defeated by Emperor Yi, after Zi Shou ascended the throne, he has made some small moves recently.

If you want to talk about the duty of a minister, then he has never obeyed it.
