" If you have something to report, then leave…" Jie Wo stood under the golden dragon throne. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an old voice.
"I have something to report."
Chu Wu, who was sitting at the top of the hall, raised her eyebrows without a trace. The corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile, and her red lips opened slightly: "What's the matter, Left Minister?"
Her crisp voice was accompanied by the pressure of a superior. Under Chu Wu You's smiling face, a vicious light flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.
"I think that the flood in the south should be dealt with as soon as possible.”The Left Prime Minister knelt there respectfully, holding a document in his hand. His eyes were lowered, blocking the light that kept flickering in his eyes.
This old fox, the flood problem in the south, had not been effectively resolved even when Chu Yu was still in power. She had brought it up again a month after she took over the throne, and was using this opportunity to suppress her. As for why he did that, he could only ask that old fox.
" I didn't expect Lord Left Minister to be so concerned about the sufferings of the people of the south." Chu Wu You cleared her throat and smiled gently."Then I'll have to trouble Lord Left Minister to personally go to the flooded area to resolve it.”
The Left Minister did not expect Chu Wu You to reply in such a way. Before he could say anything, the assistant minister at the side walked out and knelt on the ground,""Your Majesty, please reconsider. Lord Left Minister is already old, and there are many barbarians in the south. It would be extremely inappropriate for Lord Left Minister to go personally.”
An old body?
Chu Wu You couldn't help but laugh. The Left Minister was already so old, but he was still obsessed with fame and fortune. It was really laughable.
"In that case, the assistant minister plans to replace the Left Minister?”Chu Wu You raised an eyebrow as she looked at the middle-aged assistant minister. If she remembered correctly, this person should be the Left Minister's right-hand man. In the court of the Northern Underworld, it was not an exaggeration for the Left Minister to use his power to dominate the entire court.
Without waiting for the assistant minister to speak, Chu Wuyou continued,""But Lord Left Minister is so worried about the sufferings of the people, I'm afraid it's better to go by yourself.”
It seemed that the Left Minister had shot himself in the foot this time. The officials who were enemies of the Left Minister laughed secretly. Although they did not like Chu Wuyou to ascend to the throne, there had never been a female emperor since ancient times. A woman like Chu Wuyou was better off staying at home to look after her husband and raise her children.
"Your humble subject obeys." Knowing that he couldn't escape, the Left Minister had no choice but to agree. A vicious light flashed in his vicious old eyes. He was the Left Prime Minister, someone that even Chu Yu had to be wary of, but now, he was being played by a little girl.
The south was a place where only those lowly people would go. To actually ask such a noble person with high authority to go and deal with the flood, he really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Lord Left Minister, I am deeply gratified that you understand.”Chu Wu You seemed to feel that the fire of hatred in Minister Zuo's heart was not burning brightly enough, and was still adding fuel to the fire.
"This lowly subject should do it." The Left Minister gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. He lowered his head to hide his ferocious expression. You little girl who only knows how to talk. When this old man comes back, I'll teach you a lesson!
Pretending not to know about the Left Minister's vicious thoughts, Chu Wuyou slightly curled her lips and asked,""Is there anything else?"
With the previous example of the Left Minister, the others had to think twice if they wanted to cause trouble for Chu Wuyou. They had to see if they would also be implicated. If he failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice, wouldn't he become the second Left Minister?
Thus, for a moment, the hall where the hundred people were was silent. Chu Wu smiled with satisfaction, stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves: "Since there's nothing else, then let's withdraw.”
It was already late autumn. The autumn wind brought a bleak chill. Chu Wu You looked up at the sky. The yellow leaves were constantly swept up by the wind and then floated into the distance.
The Rootless Leaf was indeed carefree and happy.
"Your Majesty, it's getting cold. You should go back to your room and rest.”Jie Wo, who was at the side, walked forward and helped Chu Wu You put on a fox fur cloak as he said softly.
"Let's go." Chu Wuyou didn't refute him. She looked up at the withered leaves that were drifting away. The corners of her mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile. What kind of freedom was she hoping for?
"Dammit, I really underestimated that witch.”The Minister of the Left who had returned to the Left Minister's residence cursed in a low voice. The hand that was holding the teacup exploded, as if Chu Wu You was the teacup in his hand.
With a crack, the green glazed teacup shattered in his hand. The tea dripped onto the ground through the Left Minister's old fingers, dyeing the ground with dark flowers.
The fragments of the teacup were casually thrown on the ground by Minister Zuo, but no maid in the manor dared to come forward to clean them up. Minister Zuo was famous for his irritable and ruthless personality. If they accidentally provoked him, they would die without knowing how they died.
" Men," the Left Minister called out in a low voice with a gloomy expression,""Clean this place up."
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid with a pale face walked out. She squatted down stiffly to pick up the remains of the teacup on the ground.
Her hand accidentally slipped, and the teacup, which was already broken into pieces, was smashed into pieces again. The maid was slightly stunned and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing continuously."Old, Old Master, this servant didn't do it on purpose.”
"Drag him down and beat him to death." The Left Minister glanced at the maid indifferently. His delicate face was covered in tears, and his fair forehead was already stained with blood.
" Master, spare me, spare me…" Following the Left Minister's order, two able-bodied men walked out expressionlessly. Each of them grabbed the maid's arm and dragged her out of the front hall, ignoring her struggles.
Not long after, the servant girl's hoarse voice was heard, and then there was no more sound.
"Sir, he's already dead." Two able-bodied men came back and knelt respectfully in front of the Left Minister. One of them had some blood splattered on his face.
"Drag her out to feed the dogs." The Left Minister waved his hand impatiently. After following him for so long, did he still not know how to deal with those dead cheap maids?
"Yes." The two of them left.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Zuo Xiang suddenly thought of something. The corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile and he quickly walked into the study. He picked up a brush and quickly wrote a letter. He took out the carrier pigeon he had reared from the cage and carefully tied the letter in front of him. His smile was a little ferocious."Quickly go to that lord."
The carrier pigeon seemed to understand his words. It nodded and flapped its wings to fly away. It gradually turned into a small black dot and disappeared from the Left Minister's vision.
Chu Wu You, you want to fight with this old man, you are still too inexperienced! So what if you send this old man to the south where the lowly people live? This old man will still make you restless! Just wait to die. With that lord's help, you won't live long. Enjoy your last bit of time.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:39AM
