"Your Majesty, please have mercy! It was my fault. I will never do it again."
"Your Majesty, please think twice! This is my fault. I was doing this for the good of Daliang and Your Majesty. But the princess knew that Pixiu likes to eat bamboo, but she kept it to herself, leading to my misunderstanding."
"Your Majesty, please retract your order. We are also worried and confused. We are all doing this for the good of Daliang and the good of Your Majesty. Who knew that the princess was sure of victory, but she kept it to herself, causing us to misunderstand. What is her intention?"
"I second the motion. Your Majesty, please revoke your order. We have dedicated our entire lives to serving Daliang, loyal and devoted, and have never had any second thoughts. By doing this, Your Majesty, are you trying to chill the hearts of us, your old ministers?"
"I second the motion. Your Majesty, please revoke your order! If Your Majesty does not revoke your order, I will crash into the hall and die to prove my innocence and loyalty."
Those ministers were so frightened that they immediately kowtowed to the emperor to admit their mistakes and asked him to revoke his order.
"How dare you threaten me!"
The emperor was furious and looked at the ministers coldly.
Even though he is incompetent, he still insists on occupying the position.
It is because of these termites that the people in Daliang have such a hard life.
He had to deal with these old ministers today to see what they could do to him.
"I am terrified! I dare not! I just hope that the emperor will forgive us this time because we have been working diligently and hard for Daliang. I will never speak ill of the princess again. Whatever the princess says is what I will do."
The ministers defended themselves and promised that they would never speak ill of the princess again and asked the emperor to give him a chance.
"What a moral kidnapping! You're talking nonsense. You claim to have worked diligently for Daliang, but what have you done? You're saying I didn't tell you that I have ulterior motives? If I had told you, would they still have made the bet with me? Would I still have won back the four cities? I think you're just taking advantage of your age and claiming that everything you say is right. Do you take us for fools?
This princess thinks what my father said is right. You are just a bunch of termites, some termites who occupy the toilet without doing anything, old-fashioned and pedantic. With you in high positions, how can Daliang prosper and how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?
Gao Zhijun did not tolerate them at all and was angry with them without any hesitation.
Some old-fashioned people with conservative ideas are stumbling blocks to Daliang's development.
"The princess is right. You should all resign gracefully and return home. This matter is settled. Let's start eating."
The emperor didn't want to waste any more words with them. They dared to exclude the princess in front of him and prevent her from making a bet.
If it weren't for their age and the fact that they had done a lot for Daliang, he would have thought they were traitors and undercover agents sent by the other side.
Because it was a welcoming banquet, the main event was not there, and because they won eight cities, everyone was happy and ate to their heart's content.
After the banquet, Gao Zhijun took Murong Yuanbo, Liu Ningchu, Huo Jinqian and others to leave the palace. Of course, Pixiu and White Dragon Horse also followed them back.
Because the white dragon horse was given to Gao Zhijun by Murong Yuanbo, it was led into the princess's mansion.
"Sixth sister-in-law, what kind of animal is this?"
Huo Jinchuan and the others were so frightened by the huge Pixiu that they stepped back repeatedly, huddled together, and their teeth chattered.
"Don't be afraid, it's a Pixiu, also known as a panda. It's a very cute animal. You don't have to be afraid of it. It's very cute and kind. It won't hurt you."
"Panda, wave hello to everyone!"
Gao Zhijun was not surprised at all to see Huo Jinchuan and the others frightened when they saw the panda.
They have never seen a panda, so they will definitely be scared when they see its shape.
In fact, pandas are not very aggressive. They are very cute and kind animals. Unless they are in a bad mood, they usually won't attack people.
The panda was very well-behaved. It listened to Gao Zhijun's words, raised its chubby hands and waved to everyone. It looked really cute.
Huo Jinfeng, Sun Dawen, Huo Wenzhuo, Luo Ziqiao and others were not afraid at all when they saw the cute panda. Especially the girls like Luo Ziqi, they all wanted to go up and touch the panda.
"Auntie, can I touch it?"
Gao Yuxuan asked Gao Zhijun.
Looking at the cute panda, they really want to touch its fur.
However, that huge body made them feel scared and frightened.
"Sixth sister-in-law, I want to touch it too!"
"And me, and me, Aunt Six, I want to touch it too."
"Auntie, I want to touch it too, can I?"
Huo Jinfeng brought Huo Wenshan, Luo Ziqi and others to talk.
"Of course, it won't hurt you, you can touch it without worry. But one thing is, you must be gentle and don't hurt it, okay?"
Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinfeng and the others, hoping they could be gentler to the pandas because pandas are also afraid of pain.
"Yes, we will be very gentle and won't hurt it."
Huo Jinfeng was excited to hear that he could touch the panda, and he made a promise to Gao Zhijun.
"Aunt Liu, we won't hurt it. We'll treat it as our friend."
"Auntie, we will be careful and gentle in touching the panda so as not to hurt it. It is so cute."
Huo Wenlong and Gao Yuxuan promised.
Especially Gao Yuxuan, who has become well-behaved and sensible now.
