263 Retaliation Comes Too Fast

Cui Chengxiu, who is doing whatever he wants with the title of "reception officer for the envoys of the Liang Kingdom", if he is afraid of anyone, besides Emperor Chen, it is the envoy of the Liang Kingdom!

If Dong Cheng's crimson-robed officer takes advantage of the Liang envoy's influence, it might not be very difficult to defeat him!

It was because of this consideration that Cui Chengxiu became afraid, so scared that he could hardly stand still.

Of course, no one had time to care about Cui Chengxiu's thoughts.

As soon as the Liang envoy arrived, he became a marginalized figure.

Facing Li Qingnu’s laughter, Zhu Xiuyuan also smiled and said:

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Master is very kind. Shuyu and Madam are also very good. They often think of the Princess and they only hope that Her Royal Highness and the Prince can come back soon!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan exchanged greetings with Li Jiye's brother and sister respectively, Dong Cheng stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "I am the governor of Jiangzhou, Dong Cheng, and together with all my colleagues in the Yamen, we respectfully welcome King Qian of the Liang Kingdom and respectfully welcome Princess Anle!"

What Dong Cheng said was of course a matter of course.

Seeing this, Li Jiye returned the greeting and said, "Master Dong is interested."

Later, Li Linzhou, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Liu Wencai, the prince of Zhenze, also came forward, bowed their hands as a gift, and exchanged polite greetings.

However, the two brothers Li Jiye and Li Qingnu were so proud that they ignored them and the scene was very embarrassing for a time.

Li Linzhou knew his identity, so he just smiled awkwardly and backed away, not doing what he thought.

But Liu Wencai was very depressed. No matter what he said, he was still a dignified prince and son.

As a result, everyone ignored him...

Liu Wencai once again fell into the sad mood of "being a marginalized person".

After the ceremony, everyone was about to leave.

The little eunuch who followed the envoy from Liang State called out at the right time: "Please wait a moment, please wait a moment for the prince and princess, please wait a moment for Zhu Sima."

Zhu Xiuyuan and others turned around and looked around.

I saw the little eunuch holding the dust in his hand, with a smile on his face, and a slight bow. He was thin, small, and very young, which was in sharp contrast to the Jinwu Guard behind him.

Li Jiye asked: "My father-in-law, what's the matter with calling me and Brother Zhu to stop this time?"

The young eunuch first bowed deeply to Li Jiye with a very respectful attitude.

Then he said carefully: "Your Majesty, Princess."

Then he turned to Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "There is also Mr. Zhu Sima."

"His Majesty has an oral message. He has ordered our family to come to Jiangzhou and meet Lord Zhu Sima and convey it in front of the prince. Lord Zhu Sima, please accept your Majesty's oral message."

Zhu Xiuyuan quietly looked at Dong Cheng, then knelt down to listen to the Holy Sage's words.

Dong Cheng, Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, as well as all the officials in the Yamen, and of course Cui Chengxiu, the "reception officer for the Liang State envoys", all knelt down and listened respectfully.

The only people standing at the scene were Li Jiye, Li Qingnu, and the young eunuch who read out the oral edict.

"The emperor ordered: Zhu Xiuyuan, the commander of Jiangzhou, is temporarily in charge of receiving the envoys of Liang State and handling matters until the envoys of Liang State leave Jiangzhou and return to Liang State."

"I am afraid that Zhu Sima will be undervalued by his official position, and some people will not accept it, so I specially dispatch twenty Jinwu Guards to be driven by Zhu Sima. In addition, Cui Chengxiu, the former "reception officer for the envoys of Liang State", has been dismissed from his post and stayed in Jiangzhou to serve!"

After the young eunuch read out the oral instructions, he smiled and said: "Best wishes to Sima, please thank the emperor for his kindness."

Almost no one noticed that Li Jiye, King Qian of Liang Kingdom, raised his eyebrows and then raised the corners of his mouth after hearing this instruction.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him and stood up with the help of the little eunuch.

The rest of the people, such as Dong Cheng, Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, and other officials from the Yamen, had already stood up.

But one person did not stand up and was still kneeling on the ground.

Trembling and shivering all over, he was Cui Chengxiu, the former "reception officer for the Liang Kingdom envoys".

Cui Chengxiu wailed sadly in his heart: "It's over, it's over, I just offended the Jiangzhou governor, and in the blink of an eye I fell into the hands of Jiangzhou governor's subordinates..."

Although Cui Chengxiu knew that he would invite people to take revenge, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. It would be fatal just after he had offended someone.

But at this time, no one could care about him.

The two little scribes didn't dare to help him.

The little eunuch smiled and let the twenty Jinwu guards out.

"Master Sima, if you have something to do, just leave it to them. No one dares to stop Jinwu Guard from doing anything."

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally knew that the Jinwu Guards of Chen State were the emperor's personal soldiers.

The value of their force is unknown for the time being.

But just by the shining golden "skin", it can scare a lot of people to death. It's definitely useful.

Zhu Xiuyuan then thanked His Majesty again.

The little eunuch laughed and said: "Best wishes, Lord Sima, before we leave, Yang Tingyu and Mr. Yang asked us to bring a message."

Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised and asked hurriedly: "I wonder what Mr. Yang told my father-in-law?"

Yang Tingyu and Yang Lao had packed their bags and returned to the court the next day after climbing high for a picnic on the Double Ninth Festival half a month ago.

The disaster area is over and only needs to be rebuilt. It would be useless for Mr. Yang to stay here.

"I wish Master Sima, Yang Tingyu, Mr. Yang said: The foundation of being an official is to benefit one party. The principle of being an official is to worry about the worries of the world. The virtue of being an official is to be clean and honest. The righteousness of being an official is to uphold the ethics and ethics.

If your mind is not ignorant, everything will be clear to you!"

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Yang for your teaching!"

The little eunuch chuckled again and said: "I wish you the best, Lord Sima. Yang Tingyu and Mr. Yang have always been upright and can't hold a grain of sand in their eyes. It's rare for him to personally praise and remind the younger generation. It's rare. It's just one of the few.

Even Zhu Sima, your position as 'temporarily in charge of receiving envoys from the Liang Kingdom and responding to matters' was also obtained by Yang Tingyu and Yang Lao..."

When Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, he was naturally very moved, so he thanked Yang Tingyu and Mr. Yang from afar.

I recall that half a month ago, at the Nalu Mountain Double Ninth Festival Poetry Festival, Yang Tingyu once whispered to him that "it has unimaginable benefits."

It is not yet clear what the benefits of the post of "temporarily in charge of receiving envoys from the Liang Kingdom are to deal with matters".

But on the other hand, this position has helped him a lot——

Zhu Xiuyuan was worried about finding some reason to punish Cui Chengxiu.

"Cui Chengxiu!"

After Zhu Xiu thanked Yang Tingyu from a distance, he immediately turned around and shouted, took two steps and faced Cui Chengxiu directly.

His face had turned cold.

As Zhu Xiuyuan shouted, everyone present turned around and looked at them.

Li Jiye and Li Qingnu had puzzled faces. They didn't know why. They didn't know that Cui Chengxiu threatened and intimidated Dong Cheng, so they were naturally at a loss.

Dong Cheng, Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, etc., as well as the big and small officials of the Yamen, etc., they all raised their eyebrows, vaguely guessing what Zhu Xiuyuan meant, and then they were excited in their hearts and secretly clenched their fists.

Aren't you Cui Chengxiu crazy? Aren't you threatening and intimidating Dong Cheng? Now you have fallen into the hands of Dong Cheng's son-in-law, haha.

Cui Chengxiu still maintained his kneeling posture, unchanged.
