The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

[Although the Southern Kingdom after Brother Dijiang ascended the throne was also facing serious internal and external troubles, because Brother Dijiang personally led the expedition and lived and ate with the soldiers, it boosted the morale of the soldiers to a certain extent, and our Western Chu regained its power. It was small and backward, so it was destroyed by the Southern Kingdom. 】

【How miserable! 】

[My brothers died in battle, and those who had their legs chopped off had their legs chopped off. My father was not exempt from the disaster back then, and my father also had his legs chopped off. 】

Jiujiu hid behind the dragon chair, eating walnuts and muttering in his heart.

Emperor Zhaoning wanted to bring Jiujiu to court, so that he could listen to Jiujiu's voice, but he couldn't directly bring Jiujiu, a girl, into the serious place of the court, so he could only let Jiujiu hide behind his dragon chair. .

In this way, he can hear his voice without causing trouble.

Fu'an is also taking care of Jiujiu.

Fu'an also helped Jiujiu peel walnuts to eat.

However, Fu'an was worried that the noise would be too loud and that the ministers of the previous court would hear it. They would then say that it was inappropriate for the emperor to bring the princess to court, so he peeled it off very carefully, trying not to make any noise.

That way is just like being a thief.

Jiujiu looked at it, covered her mouth and smiled, then dug through her sleeves and took out the Imperial Seal.

Immediately, she took a few walnuts from Fu'an's hand and smashed them with a jade seal carved with a real dragon.

Fu Anxin looked at the jade seal in horror, and said in panic: "Little ancestor! You can't do it, that is the jade seal passed down from the country."

"There's nothing I can't do!"

Ninety-nine smashed.

There was quite a lot of movement.

I guess the people in front heard it too.

However, Emperor Zhaoning and his ministers, who were sitting on the dragon throne, seemed to have not heard anything. They did not question or ask any questions about the noise Jiujiu made.

Why?

They are busy.

Busy with shock, contemplation, horror, disbelief, and difficulty accepting it.

Because they all heard what Jiujiu said just now.

As for the reason for hearing it, it was probably that when Emperor Zhaoning listened to Jiujiu's voice, he thought to himself, hoping that the courtiers could all hear Jiujiu's key voice.

Then, his wish came true.

The courtier's thoughts about the princess who suddenly broke into his ears were incredible.

But looking at the same expressions on everyone's face, I guess they all heard it, and the emperor also heard it, and the emperor still looked not surprised.

There is no need for them to be shocked for too long, and there is no need to say that they are looking for death.

The courtiers all chose to accept it tacitly and shut up.

Then I started to think, is Xi Chu actually in danger of national subjugation?

It was brought by that boy Dijiang.

real or fake?

Seeing that the emperor was very serious today, he hid the princess behind the dragon chair and listened carefully to the princess's voice. There should be no falsehood in the princess' voice.

it is true.

Western Chu is really in danger of national subjugation.

If they had known this, they should not have offended that boy Di Jiang.

When Emperor Jiang comes to Xichu as a hostage, he should be enshrined as an ancestor and must not be enmity with him.

Others were thinking that when Di Jiang came to Xi Chu as a hostage, they should kill him directly to eliminate future troubles forever.

Emperor Zhaoning sat on it and looked at the faces of his ministers and knew what they were thinking.

He had thought about everything they had thought about in the past ten years, but it didn't make sense.

Some things cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Some people can't just be killed.

Things have reached this point. Instead of thinking about it after the fact, it is better to think about it carefully, how to deal with it?

Emperor Zhaoning coughed and said, "My dear friends, tell me, what do you think of Emperor Jiang's ascension to the throne?"

"After Di Jiang takes power, will he take action against us, Xi Chu?"

Most of the ministers and ministers looked serious and said nothing.

There are still a few ministers who have offended Di Jiang in private, and are worried about Jiujiu's words that Di Jiang will destroy Xi Chu. They are already thinking about how to avoid disaster.

Otherwise, resign and return home?

Sometimes, it is a kind of wisdom to retreat bravely from the rapids.

At least you can save your life.

Thinking of this, these ministers stood up together as if they were discussing it, covering their hearts, and resigned on the grounds that they were suddenly unwell and unfit to discuss government affairs.

At this moment, Jiujiu, who was hiding behind the dragon chair, patted the ash on his hands while peeling the walnuts, and muttered again.

【Resign? Why did these people resign? 】

[Are they so scared? cut! coward. 】

【Don’t worry! Brother Di Jiang will not attack Xi Chu. 】

[Brother Di Jiang now regards Xichu as the hometown of Wenxiang. Over the years, he has always been grateful to Xichu for giving him a decent life when he was in difficulty, and for allowing him to go to the study room to study and improve. 】

[Brother Dijiang knows how to be grateful. He will never do anything to Xichu. Xichu is safe. 】

[No matter where Brother Dijiang stands, or how powerful an emperor he becomes, Jiujiu would dare to say this. 】

Several ministers who proposed to resign: "..."

Princess, why didn’t you wait until we were dead to talk about this?

We have already submitted our resignations, you said so.

If you say this, it will be like pouring water.

Can it still be taken back?

No.

Several ministers regretted that they had just resigned, saying it too early and speaking too quickly. They really hoped that the emperor would not agree.

After all, being an official is still very good. You have dignity, status and money. Unless you have to, it is best not to resign.

However, Emperor Zhaoning glanced at the person who wanted to resign in disappointment, and then said one word, "Yes!"

People like this who only care about personal interests rather than the interests of the country can retreat if they want. Xi Chu has nothing to lose.

Several ministers who had resigned were on the verge of tears.

They didn't hear clearly what was discussed at the meeting.

After going down to court, they have not left the court for a long time. They are still expecting that Emperor Zhaoning can politely persuade him to stay. Even if it is just one sentence, they can follow this step and stay shamelessly.

Unfortunately, their expectations were dashed.

Emperor Zhaoning did not persuade him to stay.

All they got in exchange for their hard expectations were strange looks and sarcastic words from others.

"These people are really a disgrace."

"Back then, when I bullied Nan Guo's protons, I didn't consider the consequences. Now that there is a little bit of limelight that is unfavorable to Xi Chu, I just want to resign and retire without thinking about Xi Chu at all. It's really short-sighted and disgusting."

"Get out of here, get away."

"Still hoping that the emperor will stay? It's impossible."

"After Gu Ciyue's reform, the power of the aristocratic family was weakened, and talents poured in one after another. Nowadays, Xi Chu has no shortage of talents."

Several ministers who had resigned were so ashamed that they couldn't hold their heads up when they heard this.

But I couldn't say anything.

Everything people say is the truth.

After Emperor Zhaoning retired from the court, he found Jiujiu hiding behind the dragon chair, smashing walnuts.

Facts once again proved that everything Jiujiu confided in his heart was true. Di Jiang would really ascend the throne and become emperor, and Xi Chu would really be in danger of subjugating the country.
