Chapter 178 You kings and ministers are not human beings
What a great honor it is to have two first-rank ladies in one family.
He with the surname Chu is not worthy of it!
If it were in the past, they would have had to stop even one, let alone two.
Now they have been tricked by the emperor and they only want to stop him from bestowing the title on Shen.
Forgetting this crucial point, if they stand up to oppose it now, they will be courting death.
Chen Zhao also came to his senses. No wonder the emperor wanted to confer her the title of first-rank imperial minister and bestow a title on her. He was waiting for the ministers here.
It’s really well-intentioned.
Everyone was filled with regret, wondering why they hadn't thought about it more carefully and had been tricked.
They are so numerous and powerful, how could they be plotted against by the emperor alone?
Shen Zhao became even more sincere this time, and was given the title of First Rank Lady.
"Your Majesty, I bow to thank you for your grace. Long live the Emperor."
The man stood up and knelt down again.
The old emperor felt so relieved when he saw Shen Zhao like this.
It makes him feel more accomplished than having a child in his old age.
These are his subjects, subjects who are loyal and grateful to him.
The subsequent rewards were even more generous and completely exceeded general regulations.
Chen Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, while the others wanted to bite their back teeth off.
Your Majesty, the money in the national treasury is also money, how can you spend it like this?
"My dear, I heard that after you woke up from the poisoning yesterday, many of your lieutenants showed great concern for you, and even expressed their loyalty to you, and are willing to follow you only from now on.
Some even say they will find out who poisoned you.
I am very relieved to hear this."
The ministers were inwardly speechless and shouted, "Your Majesty, do you know what you are saying?"
Don't you want to maintain the current situation?
"I am deeply moved. I never knew those lieutenants cared so much about me.
How could I refuse to accept their kindness? So yesterday, I wrote down all the lieutenants who were about to join my command."
Shen Zhao said everything in detail.
"Lord Chu has done a great job. I wonder who are the people behind this?"
"Deputy General Han Wenzai..."
Shen Zhao said there were five people, and she didn't lie.
These people cried the loudest yesterday, and they all wanted to follow her.
She has only accepted Han Wenzai now, and after today's morning court session, she can accept four more.
It really made her happy.
The masters behind these people all looked gloomy.
The master is not here, and the faces of those related to him are not much better.
The emperor and the Chu family worked together to easily take down the power they had painstakingly built up over the years!
These two, the king and his minister, are truly inhuman!
"I have made note of this. When they have made contributions, I will definitely reward them generously."
Everyone curled their lips.
If this doesn't cost any money, their emperor would have said a lot.
The one who gained the most from this morning court session was Shen Zhao.
The old emperor had just announced the end of the court session, and as soon as Shen Zhao stepped out of the Golden Throne Hall, he was immediately blocked by three people.
The three of them spoke at the same time:
"General Chu, can we have a chat?"
Xie Yuheng immediately squeezed in between Shen Zhaohe and the other two.
He thrust his chest forward, pushing the three men back.
"What are you three doing? You're blocking my brother's way. What's the devil you're up to?"
Doctor Hu Zheng of Lushi hurriedly explained with a smile:
"Xie Xiaojiang, you misunderstood. I made an appointment with General Chu in the palace a while ago. Now that the morning court is over, I'm here to invite General Chu to the restaurant for a chat. I'm not trying to block General Chu's way. I'm inviting him."
Xie Yuheng snorted coldly at Hu Zheng.
"Hu Sanpang, you are a famous smiling tiger. As soon as you smile, I know what you are going to say!
My brother is not feeling well and refuses to keep the appointment!"
"Ahem...Yuheng was wrong, he was wrong."
Chen Zhao opened his mouth, and Xie Yuheng was stunned. What was wrong with what Brother Chu said?
Is he wrong? I feel so wronged...
He is doing this for Brother Chu's own good. This Fatty Hu is a notorious bad guy.
Brother Chu is so naive that he will definitely be tricked to death by Hu Sanpang's few words.
Hu Zheng was very proud but he didn't show it on his face. This third idiot of Duke Xie really thought he was a big shot.
He really thought that everyone was afraid of him. If he was not a member of the Xie family, he would have been killed countless times just based on his stupidity.
He licked General Chu's face and said:
"General Chu, General Xie, didn't know you were going to keep your appointment with me, so I can't blame him for trying to stop you. After all..."
Hu Zheng also wanted to flatter Xie Yuheng in front of Shen Zhao.
Xie Yuheng was about to explode when Chen Zhao interrupted Hu Zheng and said:
"I say Yu Heng is wrong. It's not that I refused to attend the appointment, but that I didn't accept Lord Hu's invitation in the first place. How can that be considered a refusal to attend the appointment?
"Sir Hu, I have a deep brotherly bond with Yu Heng and I cannot stand hearing others speak ill of him. I will be angry."
Before Hu Zheng could even blurt out his words, he was completely blocked.
I used to think that this Chu guy was a taciturn person, but he has become a little different after being stimulated these past two days.
But the changes are not big, I haven’t noticed anything yet.
Why does he feel that this guy surnamed Chu is so despicable now?
Just like Xie Yuheng, the idiot, he is annoying.
The two people on the side saw Hu Zheng was frustrated and quickly rushed to invite him:
"General Chu, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? The breakfast at Jinyulou is considered one of the best in Kyoto. I'd like to invite General Chu to come and enjoy it. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor?"
The person who spoke was Zheng Shi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He did not have the opportunity to attend court every day.
He and the Right Vice Minister took turns attending the morning court.
The chances to meet General Chu are very rare.
He was not afraid that the secrets of the mansion would be exposed by Doctor Li, because there were no secrets in their mansion.
But he wanted to know the truth about his wife's miscarriage.
His wife is not his original wife. His original wife is his childhood sweetheart.
She was also a virtuous wife who supported him in his studies and helped him obtain honors.
He was ranked second in the imperial examination that year and was invited to his teacher's home to celebrate. He was poisoned by two cups of yellow soup and lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying naked in bed with his mentor's second daughter.
He had no choice but to marry her, but his mentor's family did not agree to have their daughter as a concubine, not even as a co-wife.
She can only be the principal wife, otherwise she will sue him.
For the sake of his future, his original wife Yunniang voluntarily demoted herself to a concubine and let Wanting, the daughter of his mentor, become his principal wife.
Five years ago, they were both pregnant. When they were about to give birth, a servant came to report that the second wife had pushed the first wife down the stairs, causing her to have a miscarriage.
Wanting did not punish Yunniang, but asked Yunniang to adopt the child she gave birth to under her name.
He had doubts in his heart at that time. Yunniang was virtuous and generous and would never do anything to harm others, but he had no evidence.
After Wanting had a miscarriage, the master's wife came to stay in his house for a while and did not allow anyone to get close to Wanting, not even him.
She even threatened to go to the government office to sue Wanting for harming the mistress of the house. Wanting tried her best to persuade her, saying that Yunniang would give her her child.
She also told him that this was to deal with her mother and asked him to agree.
In order to save Yunniang, he had no choice but to agree.
It was not until Yunniang gave birth to a boy and gave him to Wanting that the master's wife agreed to leave his house.
After losing her child, Yunniang locked herself in the Buddhist temple in the courtyard, shaved off her long black hair and devoted herself to worshiping Buddha, refusing to see anyone, not even him.
The doctor who had been treating Wanting at that time was Dr. Li. Even on the day Wanting had a miscarriage, it was Dr. Li who was invited to see her despite going far away.
His doubts now grew, and he even doubted what happened back then.
Shen Zhao read through all the booklets, and when he saw Zheng Shi's family, he felt sorry for the original wife for a while.
Zheng Shi also has a master behind him, but his apparent master is definitely not his real master.
He immediately responded, "If Lord Zheng doesn't mind the expense, could you please invite General Xie to go with you?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
