C16 Contralateral Perforating Intestine
Moments later, under the lead of Gallis, countless eunuchs and palace maids arrived one after another.
"Your Majesty, the seats in the main hall are insufficient. Please instruct me!" Collins hurried to the foot of the stairs, bowed, and asked respectfully.
"Start from the steps and spread out the tables and chairs. If you don't have enough seats, you can extend them outwards." Zhu Houzhao did not care if the ministers were willing or not, and directly gave the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving Zhu Houzhao's instructions, Gao Li slowly retreated. Then, he began to instruct the imperial food overseer to place the tables, chairs, and dishes on the table.
"No need to stand on ceremony, feel free to do so!" Zhu Houzhao said and led the way down the stairs to the first table and sat down.
On the other side, Sande Zi cleverly invited the nine royal uncles to take a seat.
Naturally, Zhu Houzhao faced the main hall, sitting in the most prestigious position, with the nine royal uncles accompanying him on both sides.
"Let's start the feast!" Under Zhu Houzhao's instructions, San Dezi shouted loudly, and everyone waited until Zhu Houzhao was the first one to move, before starting to take action.
"Your Majesty, wine is good wine and food is good food, but this subject feels a little monotonous." After drinking a cup of wine, Zhu Zhang broke the silence.
Hearing Zhu Zhang's words, the ministers seated at the other tables all pricked up their ears.
"Oh? What suggestion does Imperial Uncle have? " Zhu Houzhao thought to himself and said with a smile.
"When I was on my way here, I met a poor Elementary Scholar. He is quite proficient with couplets. Why don't I summon him here and let him see the prodigy of the capital?" Zhu Zhang said with a smile.
"Alright then!" Zhu Houzhao nodded.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
Zhu Zhang clapped his hands three times towards the main hall, and the crowd saw a fat man in white with a paper fan walk in. He had a round face, small eyes, and a moustache. It was obvious that he was a traitor.
Name: pair of intestines, from Tang Bohu's Fragrant Autumn World, skilled pair.
"Strength: Third level initial stage"
Loyalty: 0
Looking at the person entering the hall and receiving the information in his mind, Zhu Houzhao almost burst out laughing. Wasn't this fellow being teased by Tang Bohu to vomit blood?
This person came to Grand Preceptor Hua's estate from King Ning's Autumn Fragrance World and was severely taught a lesson by the Star Lord, to the point of him spitting out blood.
"I am giving you my nickname. Greetings, Your Majesty." Even though she saluted him, she had a proud and aloof demeanor.
"Impudent!" Li Gang reprimanded Huang Xiaolong when he saw Huang Xiaohai's expression.
"There's no need for Li Shangshu to care about it. People with talent since ancient times have always been proud of their own abilities. I just don't know what abilities he has." Zhu Houzhao interrupted Li Gang with a smile.
"If you truly have a talent, I will pardon your disrespect. If you cannot let me see your talent, then leave your head behind today." Zhu Houzhao looked at Diarrhea with a cold smile and said playfully.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, his heart trembled and his face turned pale. After all, his status was still there. If he did not show it today, even Zhu Zhang would not be able to save him.
His eyes darted around as he thought of an idea, "How could I dare disobey His Majesty's orders?"
"Since that's the case, let's begin. You can pick any opponent you wish to." Zhu Houzhao smiled and looked at Zhu Zhang.
"Does Uncle Huang have any objections?"
"No!" Zhu Zhang shook his head, raised his wine glass and took a sip.
"Tell me, what regulations do you have? Don't say that all the civil and military people are bullying you." Zhu Houzhao looked at her and said with a smile.
Haha …
Zhu Houzhao's words caused the civil and military officials in the imperial court to laugh at him loudly. Who didn't have good skills?
"Your Majesty, you have redeemed yourself. Since Your Majesty wants to take this lowly one's head, this lowly one cannot sit still and wait for death to come. This lowly one wishes to compete with Your Majesty." After all, he knew some of the information that Zhu Houzhao had gathered, which was why he dared to say such things.
"How dare you!"
"Shameless child!"
"..."
The words they said to him caused the entire imperial court to curse him. After all, they knew how talented Zhu Houzhao was. If he really lost, they would lose the face of all the civil and military officials in the imperial court.
"Alright!" Zhu Houzhao stopped his curses and said, "You can start now. I'm just taking your head off now."
Zhu Houzhao's voice was accompanied by endless pressure, and he felt chilled throughout his entire body, as if he had been transferred into a cave of ice.
Swallowing his saliva, he took a deep breath at the intestines to ease his tense mood.
"Your Majesty, please listen carefully. I have a feeling about what I have seen on my way to the capital. The first half of the couplet reads: 'One village, two miles. Three teachers in total don't know the meaning of the four scriptures and five classics.' You dare to teach seven, eight, nine sons? Very audacious."
After he finished talking, he looked at Zhu Houzhao proudly. He had been studying this couple for years and had never told anyone about them. This time, he was going to humiliate both Zhu Houzhao and the situation in the capital.
"Hiss …"
Hearing this pair, all the ministers in the imperial court sucked in a breath of cold air. This pair of men was too neat, and they ranged from one to ten, and even knowledgeable people like them could not think of a good second verse. They were all worried that Zhu Hou would not match and lose face, and felt extremely nervous.
"Indeed, I wonder how well you are doing with Intestinal Perforation?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile. He had played this second verse countless times in his previous life, but he was in no hurry to say it.
"Although my family is big, but I've studied hard to pass on my family's legacy, so I'm relatively poor." He did not know about the trap set by Zhu Houzhao, so he answered honestly.
In fact, in Tang Bohu's Fragrant Autumn World, he was either greedy for power or money to follow Ning Wang. However, his answer was exactly what Zhu Houzhao wanted.
"Is His Majesty trying to stall for time?" Zhu Zhang said with a smile on his face. He looked casual, but anyone could tell that he was urging Zhu Houzhao to take a look.
"Ten rooms nine poverty, gathers eight thousand seven thousand six hundred and five hundred and forty centimeters, and still has three different intentions, first-rate vulgarity!"
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Zhang and said slowly.
"Alright!"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's second verse, Li Linfu, Cai Jing and the rest of the officials all shouted loudly. They were not only powerful officials, but also talented people. Upon seeing such a perfect second verse, they could not help but applaud.
On the other hand, Stomach Piercing and Zhu Zhang's expressions were somewhat ugly to behold.
"Listen up, if you can match the three couplets I've spoken of, then I'll go with you." Zhu Houzhao looked at the ugly face of the young man, and said with a cold smile. The killing intent in his eyes was obvious.
As for the look in her eyes when she saw Zhu Houzhao, her heart trembled.
My first verse:
"Smoke Pond Willow."
"The lonely cold window is empty."
"Paint the lotus flower monk!"
"If you don't match it soon, you won't be far from death." After throwing out three pieces of Eternal Rites, Zhu Houzhao's voice sounded faintly.
