Chapter 9 General Chu's Crying in the Golden Palace Shocks Everyone
"Your Majesty, please stand up for me. They bully me because I'm not good at talking to them, so they bully me as much as they can. How shameless! They eat more salt than I eat rice. They are so mean and vicious.
I ask for nothing else but that the Emperor will reward us with a bite of rice and a sip of soup in consideration of the dedication of me and those 100,000 soldiers to the country.
It is enough to have cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold in winter. I am not like them. They pursue the most delicious delicacies from mountains and seas all day long and wear silk, satin and mink coats. I and the 100,000 soldiers have suffered a lot. We have also returned from fighting on many battlefields.
If I had known I would be bullied like this... I... I would have died on the battlefield... I am miserable, I am useless, my soldiers have suffered with me, I have made them hungry and cold, they finally came back alive from the battlefield, and now they are despised and used by the people they protect... This is murderous and heartbreaking..."
Chen Zhao cried so heart-wrenchingly that anyone who heard or saw him was heartbroken and shed tears.
Xie Yuheng silently raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes. The wind in the hall was so strong today that it hurt his eyes.
General Chu really went all out today. After the morning court session, he would not go anywhere. He would go straight to the military camp to tell everyone in the camp about his deeds today.
Let them know how much their general has suffered for them, and how he even gave up his dignity as a man for them.
Just like a woman, he cried in the Golden Palace.
General Chu is really powerful, he is far behind him.
Even the old emperor who had been watching the show couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"My dear, I know everything. Please take a break first. I won't let you down."
It’s better for this taciturn guy to keep quiet from now on.
He almost thought his morning court had become a vegetable market, oh no! It was the harem, and it was exactly the same as those concubines who often came to him to complain about their grievances.
How did he deal with his concubines? He coaxed them!
He never expected that one day he, the emperor, would coax a minister like he was coaxing a woman in the Golden Palace.
Shen Zhao wiped her tears with her sleeves. She was really tired of crying.
This crying scene is a technical job. She thought about all the grievances she had suffered over the years in her heart, which allowed her to cry so hard and so sadly.
"I obey the order."
The old emperor spoke, and she stopped while she was ahead.
But he didn't get up and was still kneeling.
She had to wait until the old emperor was confirmed before she could get up.
The old emperor's face turned cold when he looked at Pang Qingyun and others.
"Lord Pang, do you admit your guilt?"
The corners of Shen Zhao's mouth twitched, and she knew that the old emperor was reluctant to punish Pang Qingyun.
After all, Pang Qingyun is the prince's tutor and the old emperor's brother-in-law.
Listen to this questioning of guilt and punishment, my dear, do you know your guilt?
But she didn't care. It would be strange if her crying today could shake Pang Qingyun.
Pang Qingyun secretly gritted his teeth and said respectfully, "This old minister knows his crime and shouldn't let General Chu feel wronged."
When had Pang Qingyun ever suffered such humiliation? If anyone told him that Chu Xiaoer was not good at speaking, he would slap that person in the face.
It's obvious that this person's words are more poisonous than his.
"Well, since you admit your guilt, I will punish you by deducting three months' salary from you. From now on, you are not allowed to raise the issue of reducing the military pay of the officers and soldiers in the capital."
The old emperor looked at Chu Mu again.
"Please stand up, my dear. I have already punished you. Do you still feel wronged?"
What's this? If this taciturn guy is not a useful talent.
According to his early character, he was coaxed by words, and the crime of disturbing the court was a light punishment. If they were ruthless, they would have beheaded him.
But not now.
The old man Wu who guards the border seems to want to establish himself as king because the emperor is far away.
The old man Chen who was driving away the Japanese pirates in Linhai was loyal to him, the emperor, and never took the prince seriously.
Only the taciturn person in front of him was still under his control and was very respectful to the prince.
But the prince...
The old emperor looked at the prince with dissatisfaction. He was too eager for quick success and instead of winning over Chu Mu, he suppressed him. He saw how the prince and his party suppressed Chu Mu.
But it’s better this way. He doesn’t want to see his past shadow in the prince.
Shen Zhao has been observing the old emperor.
Seeing that the old emperor was not angry with him, he became bolder.
"I am not wronged, but I feel wronged on behalf of the 100,000 soldiers in the army. I beg Your Majesty to restore our army's pay and treat it equally with the other two armies."
The old emperor replied without hesitation, "From today on, the military pay of the soldiers in the capital will be restored. Is this satisfactory, my dear minister?"
This is also a warning to the crown prince. He is not dead yet, so don't stretch your hands too far. Back off, back off, back off!!!
There was a hint of threat in the old emperor's words.
Chen Zhao quickly replied, "Your Majesty is deeply understanding and compassionate to us soldiers. I am here to thank you for your grace on behalf of the 100,000 soldiers."
What a joke! She still understands the principle of quitting while you’re ahead.
If you make a fuss, it will not be worth it.
Shen Zhao stood up and retreated to the team.
She listened carefully to what the other ministers said without saying a word.
Until the shrill duck voice shouted: "Dismiss the court"
After the old emperor left, she was the first to rush out of the hall.
She still has to go back to the general's mansion to save her body.
According to the time, she should have been punished and sent to the ancestral hall.
As Shen Zhao walked out of the hall, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulders from behind.
"General Chu, I misunderstood you. Hehe... On normal days, you can hardly even say a word, but now when you start scolding people, you are really good at talking. Brother, I admire you from the bottom of my heart.
For the brothers in the army to be able to do this, I will truly respect you from now on."
Xie Yuheng acted very familiar and put one hand on Shen Zhao's shoulder.
Patting his chest with one hand, he assured: "Brother Chu, don't worry, you are not fighting alone. I and the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion are backing you up. Today, I originally planned to..."
“Snap…”
Chen Zhao raised his hand and knocked Xie Yuheng's hand away.
Take two quick steps to distance yourself from him.
"Thank you, little brother. If you have something to say, please speak up. Don't touch me. If people see us, they might think we have some special fetish."
Xie Yuheng is worth making friends with. Besides, if she wants to redress the injustice done to her father and brother, she definitely can't do it on her own.
It is great to be able to make friends with the Duke of Zhenguo.
Xie Yuheng wasn't angry either. He just chuckled and said, "Let's see who dares to say anything. Brother Chu, why don't we go to the military camp and have a couple of drinks?"
Although he and General Chu were in the same military camp in the past, Chu Mu was well-known in the army for being a ruthless man who didn't talk much.
When the soldiers saw him, they felt nothing but awe and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
When people saw him, they ran away as far away from him as possible, just like mice seeing a cat.
As a result, he also disliked Chu Mu. He always felt that this person was boring and had a blank face all day long.
Except when he is training, he is not a human being at other times.
Today I saw another side of Chu Mu. He is worthy of his close friendship. He is a good general who considers the soldiers and is worthy of his protection in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
After all, everyone in the capital knows that the prince and his party have been suppressing Chu Mu recently.
My father once said that Chu Mu was a promising person with a good character, but he was too dull.
If his father hadn't avoided him today and attended the morning court, he would have been shocked by Chu Mu's performance today.
No! He had to hurry up and go to the military camp first, then to the Zhenguo Mansion, and finally to the teahouse to spread the word about General Chu's glorious deeds today.
That’s settled.
Chen Zhao has no intention of improving his brotherly relationship with Xie Yuheng now, and he has no idea what Xie Yuheng is thinking.
She shivers when she thinks of the cold and damp ancestral hall. It is late autumn now, and the old lady is torturing her.
After removing all the cushions in the ancestral hall, she knelt directly on the cold stone slabs.
Her legs had long been damaged.
He declined and said, "Let's make an appointment another day. I have something important to do at home, so I'll go ahead. Thank you, little brother."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the palace gate.
At this time in the general's mansion.
Chu Mu looked at a place he had never noticed before and asked the woman who was holding him, "Is this really the ancestral hall of the mansion?"
He was sure that this was not the ancestral hall where his Chu family worshipped their ancestors.
