Chapter 230 The Monarch and His Subjects Conjoin (6)

On the day of the Spring Festival, the palace held a large banquet to receive the envoys of various countries and the ministers of the Xia Dynasty.

In the wide hall, there are two rows facing each other, with singing and dancing in the front and playing and singing in the back.

The dances and music performed by the Yuefu this time are very good, and the costumes are also bolder than in previous years. Even the dancers have enchanting bodies and beautiful faces.Everyone here, no matter the minister or Shi Chen, watched intently, enjoying this visual feast.

Zang Haifeng watched the singing and dancing seemingly intoxicated, but he was lamenting the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty in his heart. Although the Tesha Kingdom had a larger land area and national power than other small border countries, it was far from being able to compare with the Xia Dynasty.

Such a powerful Xia country is like a piece of delicious meat, exuding an incomparably alluring aura, everyone wants to take a bite.

The more delicious food stimulated the beast's ambition and determination, and he wanted to pounce on it immediately. No matter how difficult the opponent was, he didn't want to give up trying.

He glanced around at the courtiers of the Xia Dynasty, their expressions were loose, and their eyes were fixed on a group of dancing girls, slapping the table with their hands or their thighs in rhythm, with a look of indulgence.Seeing this, he smiled, everything was fine in the Xia Dynasty, but these officials lived too comfortably.

Because the Xia Dynasty is powerful and prosperous, the people here don't know what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and they don't know what crisis awareness is. They have lost their fighting spirit and are completely eroded by a comfortable life.

Being strong can allow subjects to live a stable and prosperous life, and can bring comfort, but too much comfort will bring decay, as the saying goes, prosperity must decline.

But that's good too, isn't it?It was precisely because of this phenomenon that he had an opportunity to take advantage of.

Suddenly, the original atmosphere suddenly changed, and the officials of the Xia Dynasty fell silent instantly, and Zang Haifeng stood up after standing up to greet him, and looked towards the entrance of the main hall.

He thought it was the emperor of the Xia Dynasty who had come.

When Zhou Mu, who was dressed in black brocade, walked in, Zang Haifeng was obviously stunned, and opened his mouth slightly in surprise, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

That person...isn't it...

When Zhou Mu passed by, everyone greeted Zhou Mu, and Zhou Mu replied one by one very patiently, but when he sat down, no one came to bother him.

Zhou Mu stood up and said a few words to enliven the atmosphere, because the banquet that had been silent for a moment after Zhou Mu's arrival quickly became lively again.

"Who is he?" Zang Haifeng asked the subordinates around him.

"The Prime Minister of the Xia Dynasty, Zhou Mu."

Zang Haifeng asked puzzled, "Why is he so young?"

Didn't it mean that the Xia Dynasty paid great attention to qualifications?No matter how talented you are, you can't reach the sky in one step.And Zhou Mu has firmly secured the position of prime minister at a young age, isn't that a step up to the sky?

"I heard that Zhou Mu is not only very talented and comes from a noble family, he is also very much loved by two generations of emperors."

Zang Haifeng is very interested in Zhou Mu at this time. On that day, the prime minister traveled with his beauty...Thinking about the novel he read that day...he thought about it...Could it be that the man that day was Xia Chao the emperor?

"Oh?"

"Zhou Mu was known as a genius when he was young. At the age of 12, he became the Tanhua Lang handpicked by the late emperor. He wrote an amazing policy theory and was regarded as a treasure by the students. From this, he became a Tanhua Lang. It was not because he was outmatched in talent and learning, but because the late emperor thought that no one could surpass him for his handsome appearance, so he finally took a seat with real power in the capital to compensate him, which shows that the late emperor loved him." Zang Haifeng's subordinate He lowered his head and said softly, with some admiration unavoidably in his tone.

Randomly and with some regret, he said: "The real talent and the emperor's love made him promoted very quickly. But it is Xiao Jinchen, the current emperor of the Xia Dynasty, who really made him rise to the top in one step. It is said that Xiao Jinchen is very obsessed with Zhou Mu. No more, it means that Zhou Mu nods his head, and Xiao Jinchen will establish a male queen and dethrone the harem."

Zang Haifeng nodded: "I see."

The Qiu family didn't tell him these things.

The Qiu family only said that their daughter, Qiu Shumei, is the only woman in the current Holy Majesty, and it can be said that she is the only favorite of Jiaofang.It was really him who had just arrived, his eyes were darkened.

Just as he was considering whether to follow the original plan, the emperor's relying voice sounded, and everyone fell silent instantly.

When the emperor sat down, Zang Haifeng didn't see each other's face clearly.

The emperor's seat is very far from theirs, and it is high above.It was quiet all around, and his voice was loud, so that everyone could hear what he said clearly.

After talking about the opening, the envoys from various countries began to congratulate one by one, handing over the tribute and gifts that the dependent countries need to hand over every year.

Zang Haifeng was the last one to step forward. He tried to see the appearance of the emperor clearly, but he still looked vague due to the distance, but the vague figure gave him a sense of familiarity, but his temperament was very different. Completely unfamiliar.As expected of being the ruler of a country in the Xia Dynasty, that aura made him feel somewhat submissive.

He didn't think that the emperor of the Xia Dynasty would be the man he saw on the street, although there was indeed some resemblance in voice and body shape.

Tan Shi couldn't see Zang Haifeng's face clearly, but he knew it was Zang Haifeng.

"You said, this pill can cure all diseases?" Tan Shi picked up the small wooden box from Xiao Chenzi's hand. The wood was not ordinary wood at first glance, and bursts of refreshing fragrance penetrated into the tip of his nose.I'm afraid that just this wood is worth a lot.

He opened the small box, and there were three pills lying in it. The whole body was shiny and dark brown, and it smelled like wood.

It turned out that the scent was not entirely from the wood, the smell of the pill had penetrated into the wood.

Compared with its gimmick of "curing all diseases", such a pill is probably more attractive to women.

"Yes, this pill is called Huanshengxiang pill. It takes three years to make a pill, and the precious genius and treasures in it cost countless." Zang Haifeng continued to say a few names, which attracted a lot of surprises.This is all because these things are indeed hard to find good things, and there are even legendary things that have a price but no market.

These things are all mixed and refined, just for this small pill.

Even if this pill does not have the effect of curing all diseases and bringing the dead back to life, it should be a Shiquan Dabu pill!

Such a good thing, everyone's eyes are red.Tan Shi glanced over indifferently, and everyone seemed to have been soaked in cold water again, and they all calmed down.

Tan Shi looked at Zang Haifeng, and after a while, he asked a question that made people drink alcohol: "Can this medicine cure men's diseases?"

Zang Haifeng didn't expect Tan Shi to ask such a question, and he froze in place.

Everyone couldn't help covering their mouths, trying not to laugh out loud.

Everyone thought that Tan Shi was making things difficult for Zang Haifeng, but only Zhou Mu knew that Tan Shi might really want to know.

"This should be possible!" Zang Haifeng replied.

"Has anyone tried this medicine?"

"Of course, Tesha got a total of five pills. One was given to the seriously ill king. After taking it, he recovered from his illness. One was kept in the palace to show Tesha's respect and admiration for you, the king of the Xia Dynasty. I will dedicate the remaining three grains to you."

"That's it." Under the curious and fiery gaze of everyone, Tan Shi put the lid on and put it back on the tray held by Xiao Chenzi.

For this precious gift, Tan Shi inevitably gave a very generous gift in return.

Tan Shi was very generous, so generous that it surprised everyone in Xia Dynasty and it was almost written on his face.

In fact, the emperor is not too generous, because his money is often not enough.

In the past, Tan Shi's face of accumulating money was still fresh in everyone's memory. When Tan Shi was in power, it was probably the most substantial time in the state treasury in the past century.

After Tan Shi dispatched a group of envoys, the singing and dancing continued.

Tan Shi took a sip of wine and food, his eyes following the soft waists of the dancing girls, very comfortable.

Even though those rewards were precious, it would be painful for him if they were really given away, but it also depends on whether Zang Haifeng can take them away.

Tan Shi felt that according to Zang Haifeng's arrogant and ambitious character, the chance of taking him away should be very small.

Zang Haifeng didn't know what Tan Shi was thinking. After receiving so many precious rewards, he had a better understanding of the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty and didn't think much about it.

Zhou Mu seemed to be drinking with his head down, but in fact the glass of wine was still there after a long time, he just used it to moisten his lips.He seemed to be looking at the wine in his hand very intently, and seemed to be intoxicated by the music, but Tan Shi knew that Zhou Mu was watching him secretly.

Don't doubt how he knew, Tan Shi was just peeking at Zhou Mu.

The two couldn't even see each other's faces clearly, but there was always a feeling that their eyes collided.In a place where so many civil and military ministers are present, and there are foreign envoys, the two seem to secretly look at each other, and they seem to have grown up with good eyesight, which has a different kind of excitement.

When the two were flirting with each other, Zang Haifeng suddenly stepped out, knelt down on one knee and said, "I heard that the emperor hasn't made a queen yet?"

Tan Shi didn't say yes or no, looking at the wine glass in his hand, his slender fingers moved nimbly, but he didn't spill any wine.He didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear, just quietly embarrassing Zang Haifeng.

Zang Haifeng was really embarrassed, he didn't expect Tan Shi to lose face so much.But since the conversation started, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I heard that Mrs. Qiu is the only concubine and she is pregnant..."

"Miss Qiu Concubine is pregnant?"

"You are already pregnant? Why is there no news from the palace?"

"How did the envoys of Tesha know?"

"If Mistress Qiu is really pregnant, why didn't she announce it to the public? Could it be that she wants to protect Mistress?"

"No wonder Concubine Qiu is the only empress with status."

"Could it be because of the prime minister..."

Zang Haifeng's unsatisfactory words caused everyone to whisper and guess continuously.

Tan Shi said slowly, "How did you know?"

In this way, it is admitted that Concubine Qiu is pregnant.

The ministers were in an uproar.

Zang Haifeng said: "I just met Mrs. Qiu Concubine on the road, and after asking others, I found out that the woman who is pregnant in June is the honorable Mrs. Qiu Concubine."

"Good eyesight." Tan Shi stood up from the chair, not too burly figure, but pressing down on everyone with the oppressive feeling of Mount Tai.The flow speed hanging from the crown above his head swayed slightly with his movements, revealing his crown-like face indistinctly.

Zang Haifeng said: "A country can't be without a master for a day, and it can't be without a heir all day long. If you want to have a heir, I privately think that Mrs. Qiu Concubine is the most suitable."

When he said what he said, several rows of people came out to echo his words, but compared to Zang Haifeng who directly supported Qiu Concubine, their performance was more subtle, and they mainly grasped the point of becoming a queen. Shi wanted to be a queen, for the sake of the country, he had to be a queen, and he had to give birth to a prince to inherit the country.

They faintly showed an attitude: If the emperor agrees to these conditions, establishes a queen, and has many children, then in the future, you can like whoever you like, and you can pet whoever you want, and they have no objections.

Tan Shi laughed angrily.

Their attitude, they actually thought he would care about their attitude?In Tan Shi's eyes, these people's thoughts are as if they have lost their minds.

Why does he need their statement.

Tan Shi waved his hand and said, "Get out of here, I don't have subjects like you."

"..." Everyone was stunned by Tan Shi's words.

Tan Shi sneered: "I'm impatient and you don't care. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can get out. Out of sight, out of mind." The last sentence was what Tan Shi said to them.

Such simple and rude words made everyone dumbfounded.

Although I know that the emperor is generally willful, but I have never seen such a willful one!

But having said that, if you are disrespectful to the monarch, why should the monarch be patient?If you can't do a good job as a courtier, then just don't need you.

Some of them wanted to speak the truth, but Tan Shi was impatient to listen, so he asked someone to hang him out.

Just as Zang Haifeng was about to speak, Tan Shi suddenly looked at him, his eyes were as sharp as two knives.

Zang Haifeng looked at Tan Shi who was approaching him step by step, his nervousness rose, and his palms were wet and sweaty.

What does he want to do?

Tan Shi stopped when he was less than three meters away from Zang Haifeng. Only then did Zang Haifeng see Tan Shi's appearance clearly. Although separated by the crown, although the overall appearance was different from that day, he had a very recognizable appearance. Still let Zang Haifeng recognize it at a glance.

It turned out that the emperor of the Xia Dynasty and the prime minister really had an affair. He originally thought it was just a rumor spread because of the good relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Didn't he also hear it among the book vendors that day? Cannot be hooked.

I don't want to, this is true, he turned out to be wrong in his judgment.

"Third Prince." Tan Shi called out Zang Haifeng's identity.

Zang Haifeng was not too surprised, he nodded to Tan Shi, and he was also very noble, although he was fighting against Tan Shi, he was not humble.

"I didn't hide my identity on purpose. It's just that I was an envoy when I came to the Xia Dynasty. It doesn't matter what my original status is." Zang Haifeng explained.

Tan Shi nodded dispensably, and stretched out his hand to push the tassel aside. He looked straight at Zang Haifeng and smiled.

When Zang Haifeng saw Tan Shi for the first time, he felt that he was very good-looking, not just his facial features, but his overall impression, like a high-hanging moon that had never been stained with dust, beautiful , pure and noble.His charm transcends gender, and people can't help but be moved, and they can't help but want to worship.

Such a person is willful and makes people want to protect it.

When he saw him kissing Zhou Mu, although he was surprised, it was more of a 'natural'. It's really normal for such a person to be targeted by men.

When Tan Shi faced him, he always had an expression of indifference, indifference, or sarcasm. He was always arrogant and aloof. He had never smiled at him so brightly. There seemed to be something in those clear eyes. He was only pretended to be alone, and everyone else became an indifferent background.

Zang Haifeng's heart beat faster.

The next moment, he was caught off guard by Tan Shi's rapid cooling.

"Tesha's envoy, so your words and deeds completely represent Tesha's attitude. Tesha is just a vassal state of the Xia Dynasty. When the Xia Dynasty became a vassal state of Tesha, it was your turn Tell me what to do here?" Tan Ji said viciously: "You Tesha are really ambitious, and your hands have even reached into my harem... and they..."

"You guys!" Tan Shi turned his head to look at the crowd, and he said, "It's really a good job for you to have colluded with Tesha Kingdom."

Tan Shi's words seemed to confirm that those who echoed Zang Haifeng's words were traitors and traitors who had colluded with other countries.This kind of crime must be settled, and the next step is to punish the Jiuzu.

All the officials knelt down and shouted to the emperor to appease his anger.And those people who spoke so eloquently just now are also kneeling down to explain desperately.

"I don't listen to your explanations. You treat me like this because you already have a heart of disobedience. If this is the case, I can't trust you." Tan Shi said: "Come here..."

What the hell did we do to you?The crowd continued to be confused, and then watched helplessly as two neat elite teams walked in with weapons in their hands.

"Let me search, search carefully, these people, look carefully, not one of them is missing, and there is also the post house where Tesha Kingdom lives."

With a wave of Tan Shi's hand, the team hurried out again. When everyone present saw this posture, they knew that the emperor was coming for real.

It seems that the emperor has plans long ago, these people just jumped into the pit.

Isn't this something obvious?Today's methods are only a little comfortable for a long time, and fools with degenerated brains will try their own methods.

Everyone just knelt like this, and when the innocent implicated people knelt on the bottom, they scolded the person who started the trouble upside down, what kind of shit head, what kind of shit did they do!

Zhou Mu didn't kneel down, and was called by Tan Shi to talk to him.Everyone expressed their calmness. They are people who have even seen the two of them. Although they can't make up their minds and don't have a strong sense of substitution, they take all the intimacy between the two of them for granted.

"Zhou Mu, do you think this pill is really useful?" Tan Shi casually played with the pill that was said to be worth a national treasury, looked up at Zhou Mu and asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Mu said.

Tan Shi was silent for a while, then suddenly put the box heavily on the table, and said in a strange tone: "Do you think I shouldn't get better? Or is it unnecessary?"

"..." Zhou Mu's thoughts suddenly became confused because of Tan Shi's words.

"I'm also a man." Tan Shi said softly, like a thin piece of paper, making a little crackling sound in the air when it was torn: "Zhou Mu, what do you mean to me?"

"Do you love me?"

Facing Tan Shi's questioning at this time, Zhou Mu felt that there were a lot of words, but they were all blocked in his throat and could not be said.

He knew how much that incident had dealt a blow to a man's self-esteem. Perhaps it wasn't because of this, Tan Shi wouldn't lie down under him, and he wouldn't even be so wronged that he only waited for him.

What Tan Shi asked was also something that Zhou Mu himself did not understand.There are very few things that he can't figure out, and this is the most difficult thing for him.

He couldn't answer for a while, so Tan Shi's eyes became colder and colder.

"Zhou Mu, you are really worthy of me!"

Zhou Mu was indeed sorry for him, and regretted hurting Tan Shi at the beginning, so he felt guilty in his heart, and that's why he repeatedly tolerated Tan Shi's increasingly cloudy and uncertain personality.

But when he felt guilty, it was already Tan Shi who took the lead.

Tan Shi tilted his head, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

----

The people who searched came back and found a lot of things in Qiu's house. The treasures from Tesha were of great value and quantity, and there were even some letter evidences proving the collusion between Qiu's family and Tesha state.

The rest of the people who have evidence to prove that they have problems are more or less related to the Qiu family.

On the day of the Spring Festival, Tan Shi's amnesty did not execute these people directly, but only put them in the dungeon.

Everyone praised Tan Shi for his kindness, and despised these people in their hearts, especially the IQ of the Qiu family. With this level of IQ, how dare they think about rebelling?With your little means, if you can sit on the throne, we will lose.

On the surface, it seemed that Tan Shi easily pulled them out, but in fact, these were just preparations.Like these letters...

"I am wronged... I never sent those letters... I am wronged... I want to see the emperor... I want to see the empress..."

In prison, Qiu Shumei's father, Qiu Chunjun, complained endlessly.It's fine if it's true, but if the real thing is not exposed, but is framed in, it will be stunned to death.

They were all cursing the people who dealt with them, but they never thought that it was Tan Shi who did it.Because in their hearts, Tan Shi didn't pay much attention to the Qiu family, and Qiu Shumei was still pregnant with a dragon child, so Tan Shi would not deal with them in such a drastic manner.

Zang Haifeng was also having a hard time. He was put under house arrest in a post house. He wanted to spread the news out of the country of Tesha, but all the messages he thought he had succeeded fell into the hands of Tan Shi.

Holding the letter from Zang Haifeng in his hand, Tan Shi listened to the news from the prison.

He hooked the corner of his mouth, it was just the beginning, and he hadn't gotten into the topic yet.

And these people are just side dishes in a dish, and they are first put into boiling oil to cook and stir-fry to make the main dish more delicious.
