who is it? Who is speaking?
How dare you say such disrespectful words at the sainthood canonization ceremony? Do you think your life is too long?
But this voice...why is it that of a little baby?
Everyone quietly raised their heads and looked around, trying to find the person who spoke.
The only doll present at the ceremony was the saint Chu Siqing.
Emperor Chu Ming and all the civil and military officials who heard this stared at the saint as if they had seen a ghost.
what happened?
The saint...isn't old enough to speak?
Could it be that this is the saint's... voice?
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, confirming that they were not the only ones who heard the milky sound.
After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony came the canonization ceremony. As a milk baby, Chu Siqing could only be held by others and yawned in boredom.
She had to talk to the system in her head.
[A Tong, there are so many people, why don’t you just find some melons to relieve my boredom~]
The system turned over several melons for her on the spot.
【What! Lu Dahai, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, turned out to be a spy of Qi! 】
Now the world is divided into four parts, with the State of Chu in the east, the State of Zhao in the north, the State of Yan in the west, and the State of Qi in the south.
In recent decades, the State of Chu has been rising day by day, and other countries are not afraid of it. Only the State of Qi is powerful and can compete with the great Chu.
Everyone reflexively turned to look at Lu Dahai.
Lu Dahai was seen lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, as if he suddenly felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. When he looked up, he realized that everyone was looking at him.
Lu Dahai faced all kinds of strange looks and felt very baffled.
He asked the colleague next to him softly: "What happened just now?"
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was asked, had complicated eyes and remained silent.
At this time, someone couldn't help but whispered: "I just heard -"
Everyone held their breath, but when they heard the little mandarin speaking, his neck seemed to be stuck in the middle of his words, and he couldn't say anything.
Some people who don’t believe in evil also said: “I also——”
I only heard the two words that this man just said, and I couldn't make a sound.
All the civil and military officials were smart people, and they quickly guessed that the Saint's inner thoughts should not be revealed.
However, many people still don't quite believe what Chu Siqing said.
After all, the Saint is just a milk baby in the final analysis. She just said that Lu Dahai was a spy. If there is no convincing evidence, wouldn't everyone in the court officials be in danger from now on?
Emperor Chu Ming was also in disbelief.
At this time, the milky sound appeared again.
[It turns out that Lu Dahai was originally the concubine of the Marquis of Jinyang in the Qi State. He was abandoned by his biological father when he was a child and lived in the Chu State. Later, he was adopted and raised by the people of the Chu State. 】
Everyone listened in silence, and while listening, they looked at the face of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
[Unexpectedly, after he became famous, instead of thinking about how to repay his adoptive parents, he contacted his biological father who did not want him, and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country for glory. He was really an ignorant wolf! 】
Hearing this, the officials all had different expressions, except Lu Dahai who looked confused about the situation.
Only then did everyone understand that Lu Dahai couldn't hear the saint's voice!
[Lu Dahai also gave himself a name called Qi Zhi, Qi Zhi Qi Zhi, this is clearly his heart towards Qi Zhi! 】
[And those letters of collaboration with the enemy are actually hidden behind the landscape painting in the study room of the Vice Minister's Mansion... Wow, how audacious! 】
After hearing the saint tell the evidence of Lu Dahai's collaboration with the enemy, everyone's expressions became more and more solemn, among which the face of the Minister of Rites was the ugliest.
He, he usually thinks highly of Lu Dahai, but he didn't expect that this old boy is full of evil intentions!
[Alas, the emperor is also blind, and he actually appointed this treacherous official who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country! 】
Emperor Chu Ming twitched his lips and decided to thoroughly investigate the Vice Minister's Mansion when he returned!
Hearing the saint say that the emperor is blind, all the civil and military officials bowed their heads, wishing that they were deaf!
The saint is the daughter of Prince Yu, the emperor's niece, so of course it's okay to say a little outrageous things, but these are different!
Even if I only heard one sentence, I was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy!
On the way back, all the civil and military officials spontaneously stayed away from the traitorous Lu Dahai.
So a strange phenomenon appeared in the procession of worshiping heaven: a vacuum formed around the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and no one dared to walk next to him!
Lu Dahai was very surprised. Did he accidentally step on the daddy just now?
He sniffed his clothes secretly.
They don’t smell bad either. What on earth is going on with these people?
Lu Dahai was puzzled.
He was about to open his mouth to ask, but saw everyone around him lowering their heads, as if they were afraid of talking to him.
These people are so deceptive!
Lu Dahai flicked his sleeves and returned to the imperial city with a dark face.
Chu Hongle held it in for a while and followed Emperor Chu Ming back to the palace.
He waited and waited, and finally found an opportunity to go to the imperial study room to meet him.
However, as soon as Chu Hongle entered, he found that the Imperial Preceptor, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Punishments, Jing Zhaoyin and others were all inside, kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Ming of Chu was cursing: "Such a traitorous spy has become the Minister of Rites!"
Chu Hongle:......
This, what is going on? He hasn't said what he heard at the ceremony just now. Why does the emperor already know about it?
Could it be that the Imperial Master said that?
Tu Qingchen was also speechless.
I don't know what happened, but after he gave Chu Siqing some cinnabar, the princes and ministers around him could hear the saint's voice.
Tu Qingchen was shocked at the time, but fortunately he made some observations and determined that everyone could only hear the information Chu Siqing revealed, and would selectively block certain people.
For example, the person involved in the revelation, Lu Dahai, could not hear anything.
Also, if everyone wants to say in front of Chu Siqing that they can hear her true feelings, it is impossible.
Emperor Chu Ming was heartbroken: "You talk about being loyal and patriotic all day long, but you are all blind!"
Everyone was slandering. Even though Your Majesty didn’t see anything wrong, the finger of blame was pointed at us!
The saint is right!
The Minister of Rites, a dry old man, was already trembling with fear.
In any case, Lu Dahai is a member of his etiquette department, and he used to have a lot of respect for him. I'm afraid he won't be able to live with this matter!
Du Muqing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, said bravely: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to spy on Lu Dahai. Should we send someone to search for evidence now?"
Emperor Chu Ming said angrily: "Now! Go right away!"
Du Muqing accepted the order, and Emperor Chu Ming thought for a while and then ordered Jing Zhaoyin: "Lu Huaiying, when the time comes, you will personally lead people to capture Lu Dahai!"
Lu Huaiying said: "I obey the order."
Emperor Chu Ming waved them down, and he, Chu Hongle, and Tu Qingchen were the only three people left in the imperial study.
Chu Hongle realized later and said, "Brother Emperor, do you all know?"
Emperor Chu Ming nodded: "Thanks to Si Qing."
He looked at Tu Qingchen: "There is also the Imperial Master. Fortunately, you advised me to preside over the canonization ceremony for the saint as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that this spy will not be found."
Tu Qingchen: "This is my duty."
Haha, actually he didn’t know this would be the result.
