It was almost autumn, and the sun at noon was not very harsh, but Zhu Shengfei was sweating profusely because what he was most worried about finally happened.

It must be understood that the two saints are not the father and brother of the founding emperor. They are the retired emperor themselves. They are the former monarch and father and brother of the official family in front of you. The two saints were united after Jingkang that day, which in itself maintained the basic characteristics of those two people.

The status of emperor... In other words, there is no theory of family etiquette and court etiquette at all.

Even if you use the most absurd theory to explain it, the three of you are all saints and emperors. Take away the emperor status on your body and just treat your son as your father and brother who came back after five years of hunting... That is your father. Kneel down.

Why are you afraid that you will have to embarrass us?

But Zhu Shengfei knew very well that if the Zhao Guan family was willing to do this, they would not ask this question!

Kneel down, this official is the current sitting official. If you get really angry, you can kill him! If you don't kneel down, it's not that you can't make up a reason, but the reputation of Shilin will be completely lost... This is called alienating the Tian family.

It makes the officials unfilial and disloyal.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, a person stepped out, but it was none other than Li Guang, the Censor Zhongcheng. He responded solemnly. "Father and son have a family relationship, and brothers have a constant relationship. Why should we talk about 'me'?"

This was what Zhu Shengfei was thinking, but after hearing this, the Minister of Rites, instead of feeling relieved, stared at Li Guang with some anger.

"No need to talk about me?" Zhao Jiu said thoughtfully.

"exactly."

Li Guang didn't need to look at the faces of other colleagues to know that he was committing an old habit, but his character had always been like this. Whenever he saw an opportunity to show off, he would go up and speak directly, and the bigger the occasion,

The more I can't control myself, I will regret it when I get home. I will listen to someone's advice, and then I will continue to act recklessly next time... I can only say that now that things have happened, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and confront each other.

"Ministry of Rites." Zhao Jiu smiled and did not directly agree to Li Guang. Instead, he just called Zhu Shengfei.

"I'm here." Zhu Shengfei was startled, but he still forced himself to stand and salute Li Guang.

"If you are in trouble, go ask my father and brother and see what etiquette they want me to do?" Zhao Jiu waved his sleeves and urged.

This is also a method!

Zhu Shengfei was relieved, quickly stepped back, turned around and left.

Turning around the pier, the Second Saint and his party got off the boat. Dozens of people hugged each other and cried bitterly. They were extremely rude, but others were fine. The Second Saint himself had been the emperor, especially between the two Saints.

All kinds of nasties happened in Jingkang. Knowing the sensitivity of the imperial power, I paid attention to Long Hu's place early. At this time, I saw a purple-robed official approaching from a distance, and I quickly looked solemn.

When Zhu Shengfei came forward, he also sighed in his heart.

By the way, Emperor Taishang Daojun is famous for his charming appearance, but he is already nearly fifty years old and has suffered five years on the Songhua River. His temples have already turned gray and he is too thin to look like a human being. After putting on the big red robe,

, coupled with the pair of hard-winged futou, he can almost go for a ride; and although Emperor Yuan Sheng was only thirty-two years old, he had been frustrated since his youth. In the five years of Songhua River, he probably could not eat much soybeans and sorghum. Although he was in good shape at this time,

, but actually there is also a slight whiteness on the temples.

"Zhu Qing!" Seeing Zhu Shengfei coming over, the Emperor Taishang Daojun actually recognized him. After all, this was the one he had personally picked up.

"Your Majesty!" When Zhu Shengfei heard these words, he almost knelt down to greet him, but when he thought about the situation behind him, he just held his hands and faced each other solemnly. "I, Zhu Shengfei, Minister of Rites, met Emperor Taishang Daojun, Emperor Taishang Yuansheng... Official

If you have any questions, please ask."

The two saints were both awe-inspiring, and the other princes who were crying were also solemn.

"Brother Ninth, what do you have to say?" Emperor Taishang Daojun wiped away his tears carefully but urgently. "Why don't you come here in person?"

"The officials are worried about this matter." Zhu Shengfei lowered his eyelids and said, "There was an argument among the ministers just now. Some said that the officials came to kneel down, and some said that they could just hand over their hands... The argument couldn't be settled for a while, so the officials sent the officials.

Come and ask the two supreme emperors what they mean."

The Emperor Taishang Daojun was already sobbing, but after hearing this, his tears burst into tears again.

But Emperor Yuan Sheng couldn't help but stomped his feet: "Where do you need to kneel down? The bereaved people rely on Brother Jiu to take care of them. I am about to go to the throne this time to ask the envoy of Taiyi Palace to settle down. I won't go and bow to Brother Jiu.

Brother, it’s fine... Even if it’s true as rumored in the North, Ninth Brother is resentful because of Queen Xing, so it’s okay not to see us today.”

You are an elder brother, how can you seek cover from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty even if you are killed? Zhu Shengfei was speechless, but looked at the key Emperor Taishang Daojun again.

Although Emperor Taishang Daojun relied on his status as emperor and father, he was also careful. He wiped away his tears, stepped forward and held Zhu Shengfei's hands with his hands full of snot and tears, and asked sincerely: "Zhu Qing, you

Tell me the truth...what is Brother Ninth's plan? I heard bad news on the road! Please make it clear to Brother Ninth that I am disheartened after experiencing the North Country. I have no other plans and only want to be with you.

I'm just an envoy from Palace B."

If I had known this, why bother in the first place?!

Zhu Shengfei sighed in his heart, but he kept saying: "So, etiquette doesn't matter?"

"It's alright... The key is to ask Zhu Qing to give you some advice. What exactly is Ninth Brother thinking?" Emperor Taishang Daojun simply grabbed Zhu Shengfei's hands and held on.

After Zhu Shengfei tried to break away several times but was unable to do so, he was helpless. In addition, after all, there was a friendship between monarch and minister, but he couldn't help himself and said in a low voice: "There is indeed resentment in the official family."

"Why are you complaining?" Zhao Ji still refused to let go.

Zhu Shengfei thought about it again and again, but could only respond in a low voice, summarizing several of the angry words expressed by Zhao Guan's family before.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji only heard half of it, and didn't even hear the words "Every time you are against Cao", so he howled to the ground. He was so shocked that Zhu Shengfei completely lost his voice. He rushed to help him again, and then there was another big mess, which made everyone on the sidelines panic.

Rong Du stared at it with his neck stiffened... The latter didn't even understand now that it was just such a person who killed thousands of people and turned into thieves just to build some kind of garden that day?

More than a hundred steps away, Zhao Jiu, who was watching the farce at the dock, was still sitting still, but many of the officials around him had serious expressions. Even the handsome ministers and generals behind Zhao Jiu began to exchange glances in private.

But no matter what, Zhu Shengfei still came over, and on his purple robe, there were a little sparkle of snot and tears, which made many people think deeply.

"Your Majesty." Zhu Shengfei bowed his head and looked at him with an attitude of fulfilling his mission. "The two saints have decreed that when one meets each other, it is enough to hold hands, and other than the two saints, other princes, princes, and princes should also show great courtesy.

Visiting the official’s house…”

"Then let them come over." Zhao Jiu still sat still.

Zhu Shengfei was stunned again, but this time, he did not dare to say anything more and could only turn around and leave.

"Official family."

Lu Haowen, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun and other ministers could no longer insist and went out on their own.

"Now that the matter has come to an end, there is no need for you to say more." Zhao Jiu still sat motionless. "Don't delay the meeting between the Tian family."

It's not that the ministers didn't want to argue, but when they thought about the more important matter of settling down the two saints soon, they were frightened by His Majesty's aura and dared not say anything anymore.

Moreover, Zhao Guan's family has been in the harem for a long time, and today Baima Jin suddenly came out to welcome the two saints. There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the dynasty, not to mention the military ministers, even the civil servants are also quite timid. Now all the ministers are worried because of their worries.

I didn't dare to say anything about the matter that was about to be critical, but it seemed that Zhao Guanjia had already spoken out... Even Li Guang and others stopped arguing.

However, just when everyone thought that the official family was going to openly violate etiquette, a moment later, as Zhu Shengfei introduced the two saints, princes, princes, dukes, and princes arrived, the official Zhao family did not go as expected.

Sitting still, which embarrassed the two saints, he stood up on his own initiative and held his hands towards the two men in red robes from a distance: "I have seen Emperor Taishang Daojun, and I have seen Emperor Taishang Yuansheng."

The ministers were relieved for a moment, and even Li Guang sighed.

"I've met Ninth Brother!" Emperor Yuan Sheng was the first to return the favor.

"I've met the official family." Emperor Daojun actually returned the favor, but he was cautious and took the initiative to call the familiar Jiuzi the official family name.

"I've seen officials." Zhao Huan realized and immediately changed his mind.

"Two supreme emperors have worked hard together." Zhao Jiu smiled at each other and handed over again.

"It's not as hard as the official family." Zhao Ji, with red and swollen eyes, said sincerely. "As my father, I have been in the north for several years. I heard many times that the official family was victorious in the south. I was overjoyed, and I also knew that the official family was hardworking... ZTE will be restored through the ages.

, it’s not as difficult as the official family.”

At this point, Zhao Ji paused and then spoke seriously again: "If I had known that the official family was so powerful and wise, I should have entrusted the state affairs to it... If I were to lead the country for my father, it would be unbearable and disgraceful, and it would be the humiliation of the Northern Kingdom."

It’s all your own fault.”

Zhao Huan was startled for a moment, and then quickly followed up: "As a brother, I only regret that I am blind."

Zhao Jiu shook his head and laughed, but ignored the Second Saint. He only turned to the rest of the people behind the Second Saint in the gradually rising hunting wind: "You are my brothers... After five years of separation, your voice and appearance have changed, so why not follow the rules?"

Please tell me your name in sequence, so that I can get to know you again, and this can be regarded as officially bringing you back."

The princes are not fools. I don’t know how many of them are masters who have been tormented in the great era of Fengheng Yu. They are naturally well-behaved when they hear this.

"Meet the officials." One person came out first, but he was so thin that he was almost skinny. He only brought three little boys to bow down and pay homage. "I am the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, who ranks third. This is my third surviving son...

…Last year, I was seriously ill in the north. If it hadn’t been for the official victory in Yaoshan, the Jin people were afraid of respecting me and agreed to the request for clothes and medicine, otherwise there would be no reason to meet today...After experiencing this, I know that my love is the same for the world.

The perpetrators were all non-officials, and they knew that their past behavior was absurd and shameful, so they dared to ask the officials to reduce their titles and demote them to civilians. It would be enough to comfort them in this life if they could return to their hometown with their wives and children."

"Are you Zhao Kai?" Zhao Jiu looked up and down, nodded, said something strange, and then smiled. "If you are not feeling well, please rest first... My sister-in-law has come back first, about

I live with my mother-in-law, so I just go back to find her."

Although there was no mention of the placement of the title, the casualness in the words was visible. Zhao Kai felt relieved and hurriedly left.

Zhao Jiu, on the other hand, continued to stand with his hands behind his back, watching as the other princes crossed their hands and bowed respectfully.

It can be seen that the life in Five Kingdoms City has tortured these royal relatives and nobles both physically and psychologically. Many of them are not humanoid. When many officials saw this, they finally couldn't help crying and broke their silence. That's it.

Many prepared military officials also sighed and relaxed their minds.

The scene still looks very harmonious, so harmonious that people almost forget that Zhao Guanjia was anxious and angry before, forgot that he was too angry to go to court, forgot that he had always been "contrary" in the past few days, and forgot that just now he was in a weird mood.

, asked Zhu Shengfei if he wanted to kneel down?

The only accident happened to a twenty-year-old young man.

"What did you say your name was?" Zhao Jiu suddenly frowned.
To be continued...
