Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 111
Song Yuan took the tribute, but smelled a faint stench. She tentatively sniffed the things in her hands, but the stench almost made her vomit.

smelly?It shouldn't be, all the tributes were made overnight last night, and the weather has been cool recently, so there is no way it will stink, unless someone tampered with it.

There was a mistake in the tribute, and a group of people lost their heads, not to mention that King Zhongshan was the first to bear the brunt of the disaster.

Song Yuan was holding something, but refused to send it forward.

Song Chun was the first to notice that something was broken. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the plate in Song Yuan's hand. The two looked at each other, and immediately understood that there was something wrong with the tribute. Song Chun immediately signaled to Song Zhu, and Song Zhu reacted quickly. Song Yuan took the next tribute and continued on, while Song Yuan quietly retreated to find the servant in charge of the tribute.

The servant panicked when he saw the tribute being delivered to him. For some reason, Song Yuan said, "Hurry up and change one, hurry up, and watch out for your head if you delay worshiping the ancestors."

"Yes." The servant didn't dare to delay, and ran quickly to change things.

Seeing him walking away, Song Yuan called another waiter over again: "There is one dish missing for ancestor worship, so go prepare another one, it cannot be repeated, there is a spare on the list."

She had to guard against problems with the previous servant.

"Yes." The waiter also went.

Song Yuan just went back, and Pang Ruo continued to pass the tribute without incident. She counted carefully and watched the last tribute being delivered in turn, and immediately realized that there was one less tribute, and the two servants did not deliver the tribute as promised Come.

She deliberately arranged for two people, but something happened.

Song Yuan felt a 'thump' in his heart, but Song Zhu who was next to him suddenly backed out. Song Yuan could only pass things to Song Chun in a strong and calm manner, but his speed slowed down. Seeing the last dish being handled, Song Yuan had already Panic.

How many tributes are needed for ancestor worship, and they are all placed on the long table, which can be seen at a glance.

At this moment, both the crown prince and King Zhongshan looked back, obviously they also found that the tribute was less. Compared with the surprised reaction of King Zhongshan, the crown prince seemed very calm.

With just this expression, you can figure out who did it with your feet.

Song Yuan could almost guess how the crown prince would bite Zhongshan King when there was a problem with the tribute.

At the critical moment, Song Zhu came back, holding a plate in his hand with three fresh peonies on it.

"Can this work?" Song Yuan expressed doubts.

"Where can I cook something for you at this time?" Song Zhu handed the plate to Song Chun. Song Chun was also taken aback for a moment, but he calmed down quickly, and calmly handed the food to King Zhongshan.

Emperor Taikang didn't say anything when presenting the tribute, and when the tribute was delivered, everyone bowed three times and kowtowed nine times again, and then made way for Emperor Taikang to go first.

After leaving the hall where the ancestors were worshiped, Emperor Taikang asked: "There was no rule of worshiping peonies in previous years. Why did it change this year?"

King Zhongshan couldn't answer this question for a while, and Song Zhu and Song Yuan who followed behind didn't know how to answer the question. They were dumb, and the prince looked like he was waiting for a good show.

Song Chun explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, it is the time when the peonies are in full bloom. To worship the ancestors with flowers is also to let the ancestors enjoy the rich and precious flowers in the world together, and know that the world is peaceful and happy in the Great Wei Dynasty."

"Yes." Emperor Taikang responded without expressing his opinion.

The king of Zhongshan breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not forget to say: "I have made my own decisions, and I ask my father to forgive me."

"It's good to have a heart, but the rules are the rules, and you must not change them arbitrarily in the future." Emperor Taikang raised his hand slightly: "You don't have to follow."

He didn't delve into the matter, and the father and son breathed a sigh of relief, but the prince's expression became displeased. He has done things well for so many years, and he would be reprimanded by Emperor Taikang if he made a mistake. Remedied in a panic, such an obvious mistake, Emperor Taikang didn't even say a word of blame.

Although he had long been disappointed because Emperor Taikang favored the palace, the crown prince was still extremely uncomfortable, and everyone hurriedly stopped to see him off, and when the others dispersed one after another, the crown prince also left.

"Investigate this matter carefully, and kill chickens to warn monkeys." King Zhongshan put down his words and left without thinking about anything else, leaving the three brothers to make up their own minds.

Song Chun responded, and then looked at Song Yuan: "Let's set the rules with the servant you told me to do things, but do you remember who it is?"

"Remember." Song Yuan took him to find the servant who was in charge of the tribute, but he couldn't find the two people. Just as he was wondering, someone came to report that he had found the two corpses. When he went over, he found that they were the two that Song Yuan had arranged for. people.

There was a big bloody gash on the neck, and there was blood all over the chest. It was terrifying.

Song Chun looked at the corpse thrown in the corner with a serious expression. After King Zhongshan took over the affairs of the prince, preparing to worship the ancestors was just one of the trivial things, but the other party ceremoniously got rid of those who worked for them in the Taimiao. It is to warn these palace people that if they don't handle it properly, there will be people who don't care about all the affairs of the palace in the future, and even make trouble.

Looking around at the mourning palace people, Song Chun raised his voice and said, "For the burial, I will send 100 taels of silver to each of their families, and the money will come from the palace."

100 taels of silver, but how much rations for several years, the palace people immediately discussed.

Coming out of the crowd, Song Zhu snorted coldly, "There's no need to investigate. In the past, the East Palace was in charge of this matter, but now it's suddenly changed to the father. It's simply impossible for them not to do anything."

"Just you know?" Song Chun glared at him: "Be more careful, wait until the ancestor worship is over, and nothing else will happen, and there will be other rituals later, so be careful. "

"Yes."

"understood."

They went back to eat first, but when they had eaten half of the meal, another palace official came to report that they had lost ten baskets of ingots that they would use later.

Song Yuan felt a headache when he heard it, and this kind of thing can also alarm Song Chun, obviously because the people below are not doing things and using their brains.

"Ten baskets?" Song Zhu directly slapped the bowls and chopsticks on the table: "Throw away so many things?"

The palace man lowered his head and didn't speak, Song Chun was also very annoyed, but the matter had already happened, and it had to be resolved, "Hurry up and prepare a new one, and besides, let the general managers from all over the Taimiao come to see me."

"The managers everywhere are still busy, I'm afraid they won't be free."

A palace official dared to speak like this, Song Chun's face was not good at that time, and Song Zhu was about to get angry, Song Yuan spoke first: "Is that so? If that's the case, let me tell you that those who don't show up after a cup of tea, all Throw them out, if there are self-recommended people, you can come here, I don't believe it, if you are a slave, you can't find a replacement, and if you ruin the great event of worshiping the ancestors, even the king of heaven, I can't save your lives."

The palace man was startled and left immediately.

"Slave dog, how obedient you were nodding and bowing before, how abominable it is to turn your face and bite people at the critical moment." Song Zhu was angry but scolded people directly: "It's disgusting for such trivial things."
