"You want to ask for forgiveness with empty words? It's not that easy, right?"
When Lee Shan Chang heard this, his entire person was filled with anger and hatred. He had no grudges with these two people in the past, and there was no enmity between them in the present.
Why did they have to make things so difficult for him?
"I've already given all my assets to His Highness, so how can I compensate you?" he said through gritted teeth.”
Zhu Di sneered,"This is not something we can decide. It depends on my eldest nephew's wishes."”
Immediately, he looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and said,"Nephew, don't you think that's reasonable?”
Zhu Xiongying just smiled and said,""Forget it, forget it. They're all old ministers. We can't make things difficult for them.”
Only then did Li Shan Zhang heave a sigh of relief. His expression softened slightly as he was about to thank her.
But at this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile,"It just so happens that I'm short of manpower here. I think the few of you can just help out here.”
"Ah?"
The smile on Lee Shan Chang's face instantly froze.
Zhu Di said with a straight face,"Why, didn't you hear clearly? Xiong Ying asked you to work.”
"No, but I…I'm a civil official, and I'm old.”
Lee Shan Chang was at a loss.
You want me to work? Going to the construction site?
His face turned green.
He was the hand of the civil officials of the current dynasty, one of the founding dukes of the six dynasties, and the head of Huaixi's nobility.
Which of these identities wasn't earth-shattering?
You actually want me to move bricks at the construction site?
You can't play like this.
Moreover, even if you don't care about my identity, you should at least think about how old I am. I'm already so old, and you still want me to carry bricks?
Zhu Xiongying, why is your heart so black?
Lee Shan Chang wanted to cry.
Initially, he thought that Zhu Xiongying was magnanimous, but who knew that this fellow was so vicious at such a young age.
It really was the bloodline of the Zhu family.
He was so ruthless to those who offended him!
Zhu Di said in a strange tone,"What's wrong with a civil minister? I'm still a prince, so don't I roll up my pants to work?”
"It's easier when you're older. Others carry two stones, but you just carry one. I guarantee you won't be tired.”
"But, but I…"
Lee Shan Chang wanted to cry. It wasn't easy for him to rebel and get to where he was today just to be a laborer?
Don't bully me like this!
"Your Highness, please show mercy.”He begged Zhu Xiong Ying.
Zhu Xiongying also smiled generously."I know. If you can't do it, then so be it. I won't blame you.”
As soon as he said this, the civil officials behind Li Shan Chang all had black lines on their faces.
Originally, everyone had come here to apologize to Zhu Xiong Ying and to see Zhu Xiong Ying make a fool of himself.
Only Zhu Xiongying could repair the road in seven days? They could not believe it.
However, who knew that Zhu Xiong Ying would directly capture them to work when they just wanted to watch the show.
Everyone was disgusted.
" Then, forget it…" Lee Shan Chang opened his mouth and said,""I can't let my colleagues do the work for me, so I'll do it myself…"
Today, he had brought these people here. If he were to drink tea here and watch these people work under the scorching sun, he would not be able to do anything.
These people would definitely hold grudges against him.
They might as well move bricks together.
"Hehe, then follow me."
Zhu Di smiled playfully, then turned around and returned to the construction site.
When the other civil officials saw this, their expressions turned ugly, but they could only take off their cumbersome official robes and follow them down the construction site.
Suddenly…a rare scene appeared at the construction site.
This group of shoulder-heavy, fair-skinned, and civil officials of different ages.
Under Zhu Di's command, they laboriously carried the heavy burden of cement and walked towards the construction site step by step.
As for Lee Shan Chang and a few other white-haired old fellows, they pushed the small carts with great difficulty and moved the soil.
Zhu Di was still commanding with dissatisfaction.
"You, Minister of Rites, Ru Taisu, why are you so slow to pick a load of soil?”
"There's also that Imperial Censor, the one called Zhang Yi, right? He asked you to pull the millstone, but where are you taking a stroll?”
"What? Why don't you let the cow pull the mill? Nonsense, don't you know how precious livestock are? With you guys around, won't the animals rest?”
"Hey, hey, Duke of Korea, why are you still slacking off at your age? Aren't you impatient? Are you still trying to set an example for the civil servants? Hurry up and move the stones!"
One had to know that these civil officials were the central officials of the current dynasty. They were all qualified to go to court and meet the emperor. Each of them held real power.
The lowest among them was a fifth grade official. If they were released, they could be directly promoted to a higher rank and be in charge of a province.
But now, they were working in a hurry under his command, falling in the muddy field with mud all over their faces.
This scene immediately caused the craftsmen to exclaim in disbelief.
"Am I seeing things? The High Duke is also moving rocks there?"
"Am I dreaming? How can these masters come down personally to work?”
"Humph, what's impossible? Can't you see His Highness is personally supervising? What was wrong with letting a Duke work? His Highness only needed to move his fingers to pinch him to death.”
"Isn't Your Highness only seven years old? He actually has so much power…"
"Don't be so surprised. Is His Highness an ordinary child? His Highness was an unprecedented figure. You know the hot air balloon, right? It was His Highness who invented it.”
"That's something that can take people flying. I heard that a hot air balloon on the battlefield can match up to a hundred scouts.”
"I know, I know. Also, the Compendium of Materia Medica was also written by His Highness. The doctors in our country all say that it's a holy book of medicine.”
In the midst of this discussion, Zhu Xiong Ying's prestige in everyone's hearts instantly rose.
Even many of the things he had invented before were dug out by the commoners.
It even caused some ignorant commoners to exclaim.
These words spread from one to ten, and the more the people spread, the more evil it became.
Rumors began to spread at the construction site that the sun had set in the Eastern Palace when Zhu Xiongying was born…
Some even claimed to have seen Zhu Xiongying gently touch the blind man's eyes and restore his sight.
As the rumors spread, Zhu Xiongying's image in their hearts was no longer human, but a kind of divine.
It seemed that working for Zhu Xiongying had become an honor for the commoners.
