Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 256 Conventions, Buddha Statue
After the banquet started, all the courtiers of Dayan cheered up and prepared to face the challenge from Zhu Liguo's envoy.This is a common practice. Every time an envoy from a dependent country comes to Beijing, the two sides will compete in various aspects to test and evaluate the other party's comprehensive national strength.

In recent years, Zhu Liguo has gradually become disobedient, so he must have made sufficient preparations for his visit this time.Whether it is suppressing the opponent's ambition or maintaining the court's face, Dayan can't lose.

The courtiers tensed up, but Zhu Fengyu watched the singing and dancing with great interest, drank and laughed with the people around him from time to time, after a few glasses of wine, he called brothers and sisters with the princes around him, looking very happy.

Everyone looked at Emperor Ming on the high platform again. He was leaning on the armrest of the faucet, holding a glass of wine in one hand to sip, his posture was casual yet exuding dignity and majesty.He didn't seem to care about the Seventh Prince's actions at all, and cast his gaze on the stage in a dismayed way, but he glanced in the direction of the Ninth Princess a few more times.

Near the end of the banquet, just when the officials thought that Zhu Fengyu was going to break this convention, Zhu Fengyu suddenly stood up, slapped his forehead and said: "Look at my memory, I was so busy enjoying the singing and dancing that I almost delayed important matters .”

His face suddenly turned solemn, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Buddha Ridge in our country suddenly had a great ray of light a year ago, and there were Buddhist voices singing for hundreds of miles. Later, the people found a lifelike stone statue of Buddha from the mountain. The people nearby came to worship, and the Buddha responded to every request, and he was very psychic!"

Everyone showed surprise on their faces, and Emperor Ming also raised his eyebrows: "Oh? There are other things like this?"

"Yes," Zhu Fengyu couldn't help raising his voice, "After the Buddha statue was invited back to the palace by the emperor, I made a wish secretly, hoping to have the opportunity to see the prosperity of Dayan, and now it really comes true Already!"

Everyone loves to hear compliments, even if they know that there are more false elements in the words, they are willing to listen to them.

"The prime minister has also seen the stone statue of Buddha, which can prove that what I said is true!" Zhu Fengyu seemed to be afraid that Emperor Ming would not believe him, so he pulled out the prime minister to testify.

Prime Minister Mu stood up: "Your Majesty, I have seen that stone statue once. Every grain of it is very detailed, just like a real person. It is impossible for any skilled craftsman to carve it out. I heard that it is indeed very effective."

Emperor Ming slowly put the wine glass on the table, and said with a little more interest in his tone: "In that case, what wish did the prime minister make?"

"I have been away from Beijing for a long time, and I miss the emperor very much, so I wish to return to Beijing to report on my duties as soon as possible," Prime Minister Mu said, "Although the reason for my return is not very good, it can be regarded as my wish fulfilled."

"I also miss the Prime Minister very much," Ming Emperor said, "The Prime Minister should have written to me earlier, and I will transfer the Prime Minister back to Beijing earlier."

Prime Minister Mu showed a grateful expression on his face: "The emperor trusts me, so I entrust this important task. Every time I think of this, and I am eager to return home, I can bear it."

He would write a memorial requesting to return to Beijing every year, but there was no response, and he had to reply to every other letter.The emperor was obviously pretending to be stupid, so he could only pretend that nothing happened.

Emperor Ming said: "The stone Buddha statue is so effective, it's a pity that I don't have the chance to see it."

"Your Majesty wants to see it, and you can see it right away." Zhu Fengyu said, "This time I came to Dayan, my father specially ordered my minister to invite the stone statue of Buddha and present it to Your Majesty. Now the stone statue is parked outside the hall."

"Okay! The monarch has a heart." Emperor Ming said, "Come here, please bring in the stone statue. I will watch it with all my lovers!"

The guards outside the hall responded, and after a while, they brought back a special envoy from Zhu Liguo. The special envoy was full of panic, knelt down at the entrance of the hall with a plop, and shouted: "Your Highness, the Buddha statue is gone!"
