A Timely Wife

How is Li Ruosong's cooking skills? Whether the Li family is happy or not? The courtiers in Southern Chu don't know, but Li Ruosong's return really makes them unhappy. Li Ruosong was named the second son when General Zhou was still alive. Ding Guogong of the first rank is the Duke of the county. On the second day after Li Ruosong returned to Nanjiang Mansion, Xiong Ruoshan ordered the Ministry of Rites to give Li Ruosong an imperial decree. At the same time, Li Ruosong also became the first and only prime minister of Southern Chu. After Li Ruosong passed away, the position of prime minister became an official position that only existed in the Great Chu Zhi.

If it is said that Li Ruosong's award was expected by the courtiers, then Chengdong's award was completely beyond the expectation of all courtiers. Chengdong was awarded the imperial order of first-class husband and became the first person in the history of Great Chu to receive the award. Shuang'er is the only one who has a first-rank imperial order. In the following 1000 years, no one has surpassed Chengdong's rank. Logically speaking, Chengdong's imperial order should be the same as Li Ruosong's first-rank imperial order. After all, Li Ruosong He is just a first-rank prince, but Xiong Ruoshan gave Cheng Dong a first-class imperial edict. If the two of them could meet, Li Ruosong would have to salute Cheng Dong. Of course, meeting at the state banquet was impossible, after all, foreign ministers, wives, and husbands entered the palace separately.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong felt a little helpless when receiving the order. Of course they understood that this was Xiong Ruoshan's bad taste, but Xiong Ruoshan is the emperor and they are courtiers in government affairs. People's tidying up, but now, using the imperial decree to toss the couple, they can only be grateful for Dade's acceptance of the decree, and also thank you. Chengdong thinks that the older Xiong Ruoshan is, the less cute he is, but Li Ruosong is in his heart. Silently made a note, waiting for when to return it to Xiong Ruoshan.

Therefore, when Xiong Ruoshan's wedding night was repeatedly ruined by several brats, he realized that he really shouldn't have offended his narrow-minded brother back then. It's not about being big-hearted, it's just holding back all your strength to give you a ruthless one at a time, but at that time, it was already too late for regrets, so Xiong Ruoshan had no choice but to give everyone an extra big red envelope, and then he hugged you smoothly. I watched my daughter-in-law sleep for a long-awaited sleep.

The husband and wife accepted the imperial decree, thanked them for their kindness, politely sent off the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and enshrined the imperial decree in the ancestral hall. This matter is considered to be over, and there is no big feast to celebrate, not even a family banquet Well, the two of them are very calm, what should they do? Anyone who sends a gift to their door will accept it no matter who sends it, no matter what they send it, this makes many people so excited that they can't sleep, and they start to plan what to do I participated in Li Ruosong's book at the court meeting, but before these people could get out their notebooks, Li Ruosong, who was wearing Cong Yipin Ding Guogong's court uniform, handed a notebook to Xiong Ruoshan.

Xiong Ruoshan didn't even need to read to know what was written in the notebook that his brother brought over. He was already laughing in his heart, but his face was still serious, and he said to Xiong Ruofeng: "Ruofeng, this is Duke Dingguo. This is the first time in the past few years to go to court to discuss politics, and it is also the first memorial, please read it to the big guys, and let the big guys listen and see what Duke Ding has to say to the big guys." Xiong Ruofeng said respectfully Replied: "Yes."

Li Ruosong handed the booklet to the guard standing next to him, and the guard handed the booklet to Xiong Ruofeng. Xiong Ruofeng opened the booklet, took a closer look, and was amused. Courtiers who think about state affairs, sure enough, I don't know how many officials will be removed this time.

Xiong Ruofeng read it according to the contents of the notebook. Li Ruosong wrote it very simply and straightforwardly. He wrote down all the people who gave him gifts in the past few days, who, what official position, when, what they gave, and the value. How much, written clearly, and then asked two questions, the first is why he gave him gifts, and the second is where these gifts come from.

The two problems that can be called brain problems made everyone present speechless in embarrassment. Without him, all the ministers present counted as one, and all of them gave gifts to Li Ruosong. Interestingly, these people When talking about gift giving in private, they were filled with righteous indignation and said that they would never give gifts to such a reckless martial artist who could reach the sky only by relying on the emperor's love. If they didn't go out, they wouldn't let everyone in the family go to give gifts. As a result, Li Ruosong, a reckless warrior, slapped them hard on the face, making them not only lose face in the court, but also lose their dignity. Faced with Li Ruosong's repeated questioning, several older courtiers passed out as expected.

The political hall suddenly became chaotic. Someone took the opportunity to propose to end today's court meeting and send these old ministers to the hospital. Xiong Ruoshan didn't object, but just looked at the few people who clamored to go to the hospital with a half-smile, and Xiong Ruofeng did the same. With a look on his face, he was also annoyed by these people during this period of time, whispering in his ears all day long, saying why Xiong Ruoshan has so many malicious intentions, so many duplicity, so vicious, and so on. Why is the lineage unknown, every sentence is trying to provoke the relationship between him and his emperor brother, if it weren't for someone analyzing their words to him long ago, maybe he would really believe these hypocrites.

He reads all the information collected by the intelligence department every day. He knows exactly what these people say behind their backs. These courtiers didn't have a good impression, and now they hate these ministers who don't do anything but fight with each other. He looked at these people coldly, thinking that sooner or later he would make these people look good. He is not his imperial brother. He couldn't be as kind as his imperial brother.

Xiong Ruoshan didn't speak for a long time, these people only dared to shout that they were going to be sent to the hospital, but they didn't dare to take any action at all. The more than 20 guards standing on the political hall were not vegetarians. There was a minister before However, he walked towards Xiong Ruoshan without Xiong Ruoshan's permission, and was directly knocked down by the guard, who was knocked unconscious on the spot, and the guard was promoted instead of being punished. Official positions, senior ones, now these guards have problems with their eyes every time they look at them. The idea of ​​eagerly hoping that any of them will be disobedient to do a little trick can be clearly seen from their eyes, but these literati talk about it. They would never be able to defeat these guards by force, and they would not hit stones with eggs. Since that time, they have learned how to behave. As long as Xiong Ruoshan doesn't speak, they will never move.

An old minister who always liked to label himself an outspoken and critical minister said loudly: "When the late emperor was in power, he was generous, benevolent, courteous and virtuous. As the eldest son of the late emperor, the emperor should have followed the example of the late emperor and treated his courtiers kindly, so that we can let the emperor be kind and respectful. The courtiers performed their duties, advised the court, and relieved the emperor's worries. Now, the emperor is indifferent when he sees the important ministers in the court fainted on the ground. The use of force to make the courtiers dare not speak is definitely not the work of the wise king. Isn’t it the result of the joint efforts of everyone present in Southern Chu? ?”

Xiong Ruoshan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said: "Since I came to the throne, this is the first time I have heard someone comment on the late emperor. If what you said is true, you old ministers should have died to apologize. Come to your due diligence, Lixian Corporal did not let you make suggestions for the great Chu, there is such a good emperor, but the Chu capital was destroyed, you go to the north to see, the Chu capital destroyed by the artillery fire is still a ruined city, Let alone human beings, even if you don’t even have a root, you still solve problems and share worries for the emperor. What problems did you solve, what worries did you share? Why didn’t you stand up when the two fronts of the South and Chu were at war? You were there when you were greedy for life and afraid of death , when you charge into the battle, you can't see anyone, you don't have force, do you think you guys can still stand here and talk to me? You guys have lived a stable life for too long, so that you have already forgotten the people in the north of our big Chu. The territory has not been taken back yet, you forget, the shame of millions of soldiers and civilians in Dachu being massacred, you forget, Nanchu was forced to huddle in the south by Dahe, you forgot, there are hundreds more Tens of thousands of people have just been able to eat and afford clothes."

As soon as Xiong Ruoshan's voice fell, Xiong Ruofeng made an excuse and said: "Brother Huang, since Lord Hong misses the late emperor so much, let him go to guard the late emperor's mausoleum. If he wants to go down and stay by the late emperor's side, that's fine. "

Master Hong's back was wet with cold sweat in an instant. He could hear the implication of Xiong Ruofeng's words. If he continued to talk about the late emperor, maybe the emperor's younger brother would really let him go down to accompany the late emperor. He still doesn't want to die, he managed to get to the position of the fifth rank, and he is reluctant to part with the glory and wealth he just got and the road to Qingyun in the future.

Thinking of this, Lord Hong immediately said: "The humble officials are also sincere. For the sake of the court, the bosses have worked hard for the court all their lives. If they are left alone and spread out, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the people. .”

Xiong Ruoshan sneered, and said: "If you really want to say chilling, the common people will never be chilling about this kind of thing, they will only be chilling for you who take the imperial salary and do nothing for the people, and will only be chilling for you who occupy The behavior of not shitting in the latrine is chilling."

Master Hong didn't expect Xiong Ruoshan to say such words, and blushed and said: "Vulgar, it's really vulgar, saint..."

Before Mr. Hong finished speaking, Li Ruosong said: "Don't mention the saint, you are not qualified, the saint's words come from your mouth is really insulting to the saint's name, why didn't you think of the saint's teaching when you gave me the gift?"

Master Hong choked on the words in his mouth and couldn't catch his breath for a long time. As a result, before Li Ruosong continued to speak, the adult also rolled his eyes and passed out.
