The civil and military officials present were not uneducated in writing.
Even generals have basic cultural literacy.
Naturally, they could understand what Zhou Tianfu meant in this poem!
It's nothing more than comparing himself to a noble character, and the power he has is nothing more than a "rotten rat". Only "little ones" like Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang would think about fighting for it!
Master Cen sighed and murmured in his heart:
“Virtue is not worthy of talent!”
To tell the truth, this poem has neat dialogues and noble meanings. It is not even something that ordinary poets can do casually!
In the literary world, it is definitely one of the best.
If Zhou Tianfu hadn't been labeled as a traitor this week, he would have left his name in history!
But Chu Yanwu's face became extremely ugly.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, since the Prime Minister can write poems to satirize Wei Chen and others, Wei Chen cannot just accept him! Courtesy must be reciprocated!"
"But His Majesty said before, it depends on you whether we can speak!"
"So I have the guts to ask if Your Majesty would like me to write a poem!"
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's poetry is famous for his ability... He even used it to foil the plots of neighboring countries and became a teacher for princes and princesses!
What kind of poem will he write?
Chu Yanwu turned his attention to Xiao Chen and nodded gently: "You can go write poetry!"
Xiao Chen almost without thinking, loudly chanted:
"Seize the mud swallow's mouth, whet the iron needle, scrape the golden Buddha's face and search carefully: find something out of nothing!"
"The quail searches for peas in the thong, the egret splits the fine meat from its legs, and the mosquito scrapes the fat from its belly."
"It's a shame, Mr. Lao, to do this!"
Xiao Chen actually took out a very famous satire in history.
To be honest, Ci is not particularly popular in Dachu today.
Nowadays it can only be regarded as "long and short sentences", and no one has brought it to the table.
However, Xiao Chen's satirical poem can be appreciated by both refined and popular people, penetrating into the heart, vivid, detailed and elegant.
The expressions of all the civil and military officials present changed slightly.
But Chu Yanwu laughed loudly:
"What a shame, Mr. Old Man!"
"Xiao Chen, your poem is beautiful!"
Xiao Chen just smiled slightly and said: "This can't be said that Wei Chen is great, it can only be said that Zhou Tianfu has indeed done things well!"
"If he hadn't been like this, I really wouldn't have thought of such words!"
Chu Yanwu nodded: "What you said is true."
Xiao Chen also took advantage of this momentum and said:
"Your Majesty, and even all of you sirs, you are all discerning!"
"No matter whether Zhou Tianfu made a mistake or not, his attitude just now is undesirable!"
"Our Majesty is the emperor of the dynasty, and every word of His Majesty is a law of heaven. What does it mean if he insults you in front of His Majesty?"
Chu Yanwu said coldly: "I will find out the situation and punish the crime in accordance with the law!"
"As for you dear friends, I advise you to be careful!"
His words were like ten thousand years of ice, cold and biting to the bone.
Everyone trembled when they heard it, and they all bent their waists at the same time.
Chu Yanwu's tone was still extremely serious:
"As for Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang!"
"Not only did they bring Jiang Rongfeng today and uncover another possibility in the corruption case, but they also pried out useful confessions from the two arrested persons! They have definitely made a great contribution!"
"Am I wrong in what I said?"
Although his last sentence was asking the civil and military officials.
But how dare you object or tell your true thoughts?
Everyone's expressions were almost the same respectful, and they all said:
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Chu Yanwu's eyes softened slightly:
"In this case, Zhang Dongyang, the Minister of Household Affairs, will temporarily take over the duties of the Prime Minister until Zhou Tianfu's public security is ended!"
"As for Xiao Chen, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and a pair of Ruyi jade!"
"In addition, Zhou Tianfu's case is also handed over to these two people for investigation!"
Everyone felt shocked when they heard this.
What's going on with these two people?
Those are all Zhou Tianfu’s enemies!
They went to investigate Zhou Tianfu, and they were afraid that Zhou Tianfu was doomed.
But everyone present did not dare to touch Chu Yanwu's bad luck, so they could only admit it.
Zhou Tianfu's party members could not jump at this moment and could only "plan long-term."
Xiao Chen and Zhou Tianfu said at the same time:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is so kind! I thank you so much! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
At this time, Chu Yanwu's eyes were quite solemn, and he said meaningfully:
"Zhou Tianfu's corruption case involves a wide range of things, even involving Japan. If one mistake is not made, problems will arise in the Chu state body!"
"So I really hope you can take it seriously and give an explanation to the people of the world, me, and Dachu!"
What he said actually meant a bit of moral kidnapping...
Xiao Chen only felt a soreness in his teeth.
According to his opinion, this time is actually enough to bring down that guy Zhou Tianfu.
The reason why Chu Yanwu did this was simply because he was afraid of Zhou Tianfu's backlash...
But there was nothing he could do. He could only say:
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's will!"
Compared to Xiao Chen who had a headache, Zhang Dongyang was in good spirits.
As someone in the civil service system, he actually has fewer worries than Xiao Chen...
He was even imagining that if Zhou Tianfu was overthrown, would he be able to become the real prime minister from "acting prime minister"!
That is a position below one person and above ten thousand people. It is every scholar’s lifelong dream!
So he started to swear:
"The humble minister will definitely not let down His Majesty's expectations, nor will he let down the Great Chu and its people!"
"If not, there will be five thunders from heaven!"
Chu Yanwu smiled again and said to the two of them:
"Do you have any other problems here?"
"If you have any concerns, you can raise them with me at this time!"
"For example, manpower, soldiers and horses, etc."
In fact, Chu Yanwu also knew that it was not that simple to bring down Zhou Tianfu.
After all, the wealth Zhou Tianfu controls alone is a terrifying figure... used to hire martial arts masters, they can plow the East Factory!
Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang are probably beyond their capabilities.
Xiao Chen's heart moved, he was about to mention this matter!
He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the manpower is not a critical issue. The most important thing is that we are worried about being influenced by some people...for example, Zhou Tianfu's hidden party members!"
Chu Yanwu thought about it for a while and waved his hand:
"Then I will give you the Shangfang Sword, and you will be commissioned for it!"
"At the same time, I will also give Zhang Dongyang the Iron Book of Alchemy as your deputy!"
"You must root out all the rebels!"
Shang Fang's sword and iron scroll of alchemy!
These are life-saving things!
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He and Zhang Dongyang said in unison:
"Thank you for your grace!"
"I will surely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
