Chapter 606: Whose Fault
National Chamber of Commerce
Xu Qing got a grill and was cooking grilled fish for Xiao Ruxue. The poor little girl hadn't eaten grilled fish for nearly two months, but she was so hungry.
At this time, Xiao Ruxue was sitting on a small bench, resting her cheeks and staring at the grilled fish on the rack.
Now the weather is getting colder and colder, especially the sound of the wind blowing every day, which makes people feel hairy.
Today's weather is not very good, but it becomes gloomy within an hour, and even the room is a little dark, and the fire next to the grill provides some light.
The flames reflected Xiao Ruxue's small face red, and the fluffy shawl on her body made her look even more lovely.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "The fish will be roasted soon, go and light the lamp, if the room is too dark to see the fishbone, it's easy to get your throat stuck."
When Xiao Ruxue heard Xu Qing's words, she agreed and went to light the lamp.
Xu Qing opened the side window a little wider to allow the smell of smoke to escape. By the way, the air in the room can also be exchanged.
After lighting the lamp, Xiao Ruxue sat on the seat and enjoyed the fish that Xu Qing had just grilled.
The small mouth was flying up and down, and the fish meat was rapidly decreasing.
Just when Xu Qing was about to put out the fire in the brazier under the grill, the little girl suddenly stretched out her greasy little hand and handed over a piece of fish, intending to feed it into his mouth.
Xu Qing hastily stepped back two steps to create a distance.
Xiao Ruxue pursed her oily red lips and said, "It took me a long time to pick out all the thorns from such a large piece of fish, why don't you eat it?"
Xu Qing turned his head aside and said: "This piece of fish has no thorns, but you picked the thorns with your tongue, don't try to scare me...Your saliva might be on it..."
The little girl's tongue is very flexible, and the fishbone can be picked one by one, but it doesn't mean that Xu Qing can accept it.
Xiao Ruxue couldn't help snorting when she heard what Xu Qing said: "Then when you were entangled with Sister Su in the bedroom, you stuck your tongue into Sister Su's mouth, and I never saw you despise Sister Su's saliva...Why? Just despise me?"
"Ahem..." Xu Qing couldn't help but choke heavily upon hearing this: "You...when did you see..."
Xiao Ruxue shook her head: "Do you care about me? Eat or not?"
Xu Qing sighed, bit the fish into his mouth and sighed, "I can't eat it."
Xu Qing decided that the next time he kisses his wife, he must check whether the windows are closed properly.
The little girl is also true, peeping...

Zhou Guo
In the royal study
The national teacher sat on the side, and there were two men standing in the imperial study.
One of them is the prince of Zhou, while the other is the second prince.
Although the state of Zhou had established the eldest son as the prince, the emperor of Zhou was furious because of the prince's bad idea of joining forces with other races to fight against the state of Chu last time.
No matter whether the crown prince is in the palace or in the court, his status has plummeted or worsened.
The prince's prestige in the court is not as good as before, which naturally gave other princes an opportunity.
Coupled with the fact that his face was swollen by the mysterious assassin a few months ago, it was even more embarrassing.
The crown prince is the crown prince, representing not only his own face, but also the body of the country. The crown prince's face was swollen from being beaten, which is almost equivalent to Zhou's face being swollen from being beaten.
Although the prince has not been abolished yet, the other princes have seen the opportunity.
A chance for the crown prince to change hands.
...
Prince Zhou stepped forward, cupped his hands and bowed, "I don't know why the father ordered the sons to come here?"
The second and third princes also bowed down one after another, not daring to show any disrespect.
Zhou Huang said: "Now that our country of Zhou is retreating steadily, and the grassland is ruled by the Wanyan tribe, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that the foreign fisherman will benefit. At this moment, it seems that it is a good strategy to negotiate a truce with Chu for the time being."
The Crown Prince of Zhou Kingdom now naturally dare not disobey the Emperor Zhou, cupped his hands and said: "Father Emperor is wise."
Zhou Huang stood up, walked out of the imperial case, sighed and said: "I have been thinking about starting this war, is it my fault?"
The Crown Prince of Zhou quickly flattered him and said, "Father is the son of heaven, the king of the country, and the son of heaven can't make mistakes!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Emperor Zhou asked, "I can't be wrong?"
Prince Zhou said: "Father was only bewitched by the villain and deceived the sage, so he ordered the army to go to war. This time the fault should be with the courtiers, not the father. I hope the father will learn from him!"
Emperor Zhou smiled heartily when he heard this: "I am very relieved by the words of the prince. In this way, I will not be a fool who dragged the people into war."
The crown prince of Zhou State cupped his hands and said: "Father is a Taoist monarch who spreads holiness and virtue throughout the world and blesses all people."
Zhou Huang said: "Then whose fault should this military disaster be attributed to? I was bewitched by that villain again?"
"This..." The Crown Prince of Zhou Kingdom was speechless when he heard this, his forehead could not help oozing some fine beads of sweat even though it was winter, and he did not dare to say another word.
At this moment, the second prince said: "Reporting to my father, it was the Yang family who incited all the officials in the court to deliberately create the appearance of the vulnerable state of Chu, deceived the emperor, and bewitched my father to send troops to conquer According to Erchen, the crime of defeat should be attributed to the Yang family."
Speaking of this, the second prince gave the prince a sideways glance quite complacently, unable to hide the joy in his heart.
The prince is the eldest son of the empress, and the empress is the daughter of the Yang family, so the prince's greatest reliance is naturally the Yang family.
As a century-old family of the Zhou Kingdom, the Yang family has produced more than one prime minister, and is quite powerful in the court, and many of the civil servants are disciples of the Yang family.
If the Yang family's power in the court can be weakened, the prince's power in the court will naturally be weakened.
The second prince was naturally happy to see the success.
"Yang family..." Emperor Zhou murmured and then said: "It was indeed the Yang family who instigated the court to disturb right and wrong, and deceived me. This time, the people at the border border fell into a military disaster. The Yang family has an unshirkable responsibility."
The prince was startled when he heard this, and quickly said: "Father, the Yang family has been loyal to the emperor and served the country all these years, and there is no difference! I hope the father will investigate clearly!"
Zhou Huang squinted at the crown prince: "It's not the Yang family's fault, so the crown prince's meaning is my fault?"
Seeing the resurgence of Emperor Zhou's dissatisfaction, the Son of Heaven quickly knelt down on the ground: "Father, please calm down, I dare not, I dare not!"
The second prince added fuel and jealousy to the side: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince. Since he is the crown prince, he should be fair and just. If His Royal Highness is so partial to the Yang family, others will inevitably say that he is suspected of forming a clique for personal gain."
Forming a party for personal gain is a big taboo in the court and the emperor's heart. Although everyone will form a party for personal gain, everyone will not admit that they form a party for personal gain.
But if the emperor finds out the clues, it's probably time for that person or group of people to write a book and pay attention.
The prince quickly knelt down and kowtow said: "My son and minister will never form a party for selfish interests. I hope my father will learn from me, and my father will learn from me!"
Emperor Zhou looked down at the prince kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Then in the prince's mind, who is to blame for this military disaster?"
