The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 5 The High Hat

For Queen Xie's praise, Concubine Rong did not buy it.After she stood up, she said with some trepidation: "Empress Empress, what you said like that is really a disgrace to my concubine." She pulled her hand out of Queen Xie's hand forcefully.Then, she looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou tenderly, "Father Long has no dogs, this is what the emperor taught." After she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped her hands gently and earnestly.

When Empress Xie saw Concubine Rong's gesture of wiping her hands, her gaze sank, and she almost couldn't maintain a decent smile on her face.She froze for a moment, then regained her dignity, and said: "What Concubine Rong said is that Father Long has no sons. Dai Wang really looks like the emperor when he was young."

After Concubine Rong wiped her hands, she threw the handkerchief to the maid behind her.

"Dai Wang is far from the emperor when he was young. Cousin was already a victorious general when he was as old as Dai Wang." Just after she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Empress, I'm sorry, this concubine forgot that you were still a child at that time and didn't know the emperor's bravery back then."

The last sentence hit the sore spot of Queen Xie.Concubine Rong was well aware of Empress Xie's sore spots, so she poked hard on her sore spots.

After hearing this, Empress Xie's eyes became gloomy for a moment, but she soon recovered.Just when she opened her mouth to say something, Emperor Wu of Zhou interrupted her.

"All sit down."

Concubine Rong smiled at Emperor Wu of Zhou, and sat obediently in her seat.

Empress Xie felt a suffocation in her heart, she couldn't go up and down, it was very uncomfortable, and she almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.

She took a deep breath, calmed down, raised her wine glass and said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Your Majesty, my concubine congratulates you on the great victory in Liangzhou."

Seeing this, everyone stood up one after another and raised their wine glasses to congratulate Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Zhao Yao is a child, so of course he can't drink. He stood up and said a few words of blessing along with him.

Ever since the news of the great victory in Liangzhou came back to the palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou was in a very good mood.He stood up and had three drinks with his concubines and children.

After Empress Xie finished the toast, it was Concubine Rong's turn to stand up and toast.

"Your Majesty, my concubine wishes the Great Zhou prosperity and peace and prosperity..." Concubine Rong was very smart, she never mentioned the fact that His Royal Highness had won a complete victory.

After Concubine Rong finished toasting, it was the turn of Concubine De and the others.

The third concubine also said some auspicious words, and of course she didn't forget to praise Dai Wang for her ability.

Concubine Li and Liang Zhaoyi also said the same thing.

After the concubines finished their toasts, it was the turn of the princes and princesses to toast.Of course, the prince will take the lead in toasting.

The prince first congratulated Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then praised the acting king for his excellence.He also said that thanks to Dai Wang's efforts to quell the chaos in recent years, Da Zhou's country has become more and more stable.He also said that he was honored to have a younger brother who was Daiwang, and it was also a blessing for the people.In the end, he said that fortunately there is the God of War Dai Wang, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Da Zhou and the people.

What he said was very sincere, as if it was his true words.

After listening to the words of His Royal Highness, Zhao Yao exclaimed in his heart: High, high!Brother Prince's words are really high!
These words sounded like they were praising Dai Wang's achievements, but they were actually praising Dai Wang.It seems that there is no acting king in Da Zhou, and the country of Da Zhou will be unstable.Also, the reason why Dazhou has the current stability is because it was fought on behalf of the king.All of this is due to the acting king and no one else.

This tall hat is wonderful!
He was still thinking about making such a great contribution this time, and both inside and outside the court and the public praised the ability of the king, and even said that the king was more suitable to be the heir than the elder brother of the crown prince.Faced with such a situation, how will the prince's brother fight back? Unexpectedly, as soon as tonight's dinner began, the prince's brother would strike back beautifully.

When Concubine Rong first heard the crown prince's praise of the acting king, she was very proud, but the more she listened, the more something went wrong.After the prince finished speaking, she hurriedly said: "Prince, you have praised me, the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the prince suddenly coughed: "Ahem..." It made her unable to continue.

Empress Xie was very disdainful when she saw the prince interrupting Concubine Rong with a cough, but thinking of the embarrassment that Concubine Rong had given her just now, she decided to play with the prince.

"Prince, what's the matter with you, did you catch the rain and get cold today?" Empress Xie asked with concern.

As the emperor's father, Emperor Wu of Zhou couldn't pretend to ignore it, so he asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Concubine De said: "It's raining heavily today, and the wind is also strong. His Highness the Crown Prince's health is not very good. I'm afraid it's because of the wind blowing during the day, and he suffered from the wind and cold."

Concubine Shu said: "The courtiers and concubines feel that it is cold today."

Concubine Liang said with concern on her face: "Pour a cup of hot tea to His Royal Highness quickly."

Concubine Rong's face was a bit cold: "Prince, you are not feeling well, you should rest in the East Palace and not attend tonight's dinner."

After coughing for a while, the prince stood up and apologized to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Father, the son is fine, but the son was in a hurry to drink just now."

Empress Xie glared at the crown prince, pretending to be somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "You kid scared your father."

"It's all my son's fault." The crown prince was ashamed, "I ask father to punish you."

"It's good that you are fine." Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand to signal the prince to sit down.

Just as the prince sat down, Concubine Rong was about to continue what she had just said, but the third prince rushed ahead of her.

The third prince stood up and respected Emperor Zhou Wu's wine.He is the one with the best literary talents among all the princes.All the blessings he said were quoted from the scriptures. In the end, he praised the acting king as Bai Qi in the Qin Dynasty, and he was invincible.

Concubine Rong was not happy when she heard that the third prince said her son looked like Bai Qi.Although Bai Qi often won wars, he was a very cruel person who killed Zhao's 40 troops.

On the surface, the third prince praised Dai Wang for his bravery, but in fact he insinuated that Dai Wang was as cruel as Bai Qi, killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Ronggui naturally couldn't see the third prince slandering her son so much, immediately lowered his face, and unceremoniously accused the third prince of saying that the acting king was like a white boy, what kind of heart did he have, did he say that the acting king was cruel?

"Your concubine, you misunderstood, this son-in-law didn't mean that..."

Concubine Rong interrupted the third prince coldly: "Then what do you mean?" She said with a sneer, "Third prince, you have read a lot of poetry and books, don't you know what kind of person Bai Qi is? Compared Dai Wang to Bai Qi, are you mocking Dai Wang?"

Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince doesn't mean that..."

Concubine Rong raised her hand to interrupt Concubine Shu, and said displeasedly: "Okay, what the third prince means, I know very well in my heart." After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Emperor Wu of Zhou, and said with an aggrieved expression, "Your majesty, the king won the battle for you, but the third prince said it was nothing."

The third prince said in a panic, "Father, my son doesn't have any other intentions..." Zhou Wudi glanced over, and the third prince was so frightened that he quickly shut up and didn't dare to say anything.

Concubine Shu was about to defend the third prince, but seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou's expression was a little impatient, she was too frightened to say anything.

At this time, the fourth prince stood up and toasted Emperor Wu of Zhou.He first congratulated Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then praised Dai Wang's great victory this time. He said that this great victory was not only due to Dai Wang alone, but also to many soldiers.There is also the wise guidance of Emperor Wu of Zhou.In the end, he said that with the presence of Emperor Wu of Zhou, the presence of Dai Wang, and the presence of many soldiers, the country of Great Zhou would become more and more stable, and the lives of the people would become better and better.

In his heart, Zhao Yao crazily praised his Fourth Brother.

His fourth brother's words are not only beautiful and pleasant to hear, but also impeccable.

After hearing what the fourth prince said, Emperor Wu of Zhou had a smile on his face.

Then the fifth prince and the others followed the words of the fourth prince.

Finally it was the turn of Zhao Yao, the youngest son.He didn't follow the words of the fourth prince, "The second emperor is powerful, and the father is even more powerful. The second emperor is a hero, and the father is a great hero."

What he said was childish, but he was right.Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't dislike him either, after all he knew that his youngest son was stupid and couldn't speak.

"Zhao Yao, do you know how to say these two sentences?" Emperor Wu of Zhou was not dissatisfied, but the Ninth Prince was not.Others praised Dai Wang lavishly, and he was very happy to hear that.For him, to praise his second brother is to praise him.Zhao Yao's two sentences are too simple, he is not satisfied. "Can't you say anything else?"

Looking at the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yao said innocently and sincerely, "No."

　Forgot to update, but fortunately, now that I think about it, it's not too late.
