Chapter 364: Sick Leave...
As soon as the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant finished their words, everyone in the hall let out a "hiss..." and didn't even dare to discuss it.
The toads were so angry that they couldn't say a word. They looked up at the queen and saw that she was looking at them expressionlessly.
A chill came over their hearts, cold sweat ran down their foreheads, and their lips trembled slightly. They didn't want to send their children to marry.
It's not that they are reluctant to leave, but they intend to keep them as a favor. If they marry into a foreign country, they will only get a little benefit in the short term.
If they marry in their own country, their life will be easier. But now that the Master and the others have said so much,
If they don't set an example, the Queen will really be suspicious of them. When they think of this, their faces turn pale...
Several people looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and bowed to the Queen;
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will send a suitable person from our family to marry. Please do not doubt my sincerity..."
The Queen smiled with satisfaction when she saw this. The Toads said:
"Since several of us have expressed our sincerity, shouldn't the Grand Master and others also express theirs?"
The Queen looked at them expectantly...
The Taifu and the others looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths raised;
"Your Majesty, I think that for such uncertain matters, we should first send a few beauties to test the waters. Sending too many would be counterproductive..."
The Imperial Censor's Wife: "I also think that the Grand Master is right..."
The other ministers who did not want their children to be sent away for marriage came forward one after another to echo the sentiment;
"I think what the Grand Master said makes sense..."
Upon hearing this, the toads were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but they heard the Queen's final voice.
No matter how angry they were, they could only thank the emperor unwillingly. After the court session ended, the Taifu and his men deliberately went in front of them with a smile on their faces.
Toad and his men had dark faces and didn't want to listen to them. They were blocked again. The key point was that Taifu and his men were still smiling.
Other colleagues who were unaware of the situation were still sighing at how generous and well-organized Toad was.
They were so angry that they also smiled with a fake smile, and when no one was paying attention, they gently bumped the master with their shoulders.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Tutor cried out "Ah!", and the Imperial Censor and the Imperial Commandant standing beside her all cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground...
This sudden scene not only frightened Toad and his men, but even the Minister of Agriculture and the Ministry of Revenue, who were on the same side as the Grand Tutor, stared with their eyes wide open, looking at them in disbelief.
They didn't believe that these people would be hurt so easily, nor did they believe that Toad and his men would dare to attack openly.
There must be something shady going on here...
While Si Nong and his men were still thinking about some conspiracy, Toad and his men said:
"What are you doing?"
The Taifu and his men touched their buttocks and cried "ouch ouch". The other colleagues also came forward to show their concern. The Taifu and his men looked at the Toads and his men with hesitation.
When the officials followed their gaze, she waved her hand and looked at her colleagues, looking like she had something to say;
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small matter, please help me get the imperial physician,
Hey...╮(￣▽￣)╭We are old and can’t afford to fall! It’s all because of talking too much! "
What did the officials not know after seeing this? Then they attacked the toads;
"I thought you guys really didn't care about the morning court! I didn't expect that! You guys are waiting here..."
Some officials usually disliked the Toads, so they took the opportunity to shake their heads.
"You are not being kind! It was you who proposed the marriage, and you let your son marry first.
You guys agreed to this, so why are you taking your anger out on others?"
The Toads didn't understand why just now, but now they see clearly that they were tricked by the Master and his men.
With a sullen face, she listened to her colleagues pointing fingers at them, her mouth opened, not knowing how to refute.
The Taifu and his companions smiled smugly at the Toads and their companions in a place where no one else could see.
Toad and his men were so angry that they pointed at the Master and the others;
"You...you..."
The other officials saw that the Toads were still trying to bully others, so they started pointing fingers at them.
When the Toads saw them like this, they stood up straight with anger, as if they had suffered a great injustice;
"Those who are pure will themselves be cleansed..."
As soon as the words fell, another wave of sarcastic remarks came.
The farce here also reached the ears of the Queen. Seeing this, the Queen asked the best imperial doctors to examine the Taifu and others.
He called the toads back and criticized them. Although the toads were usually very loud, they only lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes when they were criticized.
On the way back, they were planning to make the master and his men pay the price for framing them...
When the Taifu and the others returned home, no matter how the imperial physicians examined them, they all looked in great pain.
The imperial doctors couldn't find anything and were completely confused for a moment. This shouldn't be possible!
There was no other way, so they could only prescribe some herbal medicine for them to take care of themselves, and when they left,
The Taifu and the others each gave the imperial physician valuable gifts...
When they returned to the palace, the imperial doctors explained to the empress that the tutors were old, so they were more vulnerable after the fall.
As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, sick leave notes from the Grand Tutor and several others arrived.
It would take a hundred days to recover from the injuries, and the Queen, seeing this, readily approved their leave.

When Si Nong and his men heard that the Taifu and his men were so serious, they were very unconvinced and went to visit them to see what they were up to.
The Taifu and his companions smiled but said nothing. The Si Nong and his companions always felt that the answer was right before their eyes, but they could not grasp the key point, which made them run around in circles in anxiety.
"Are we really on the same side? You're hiding something from us..."
The Master and the others smiled mysteriously;
"You will know what's going on in a few days..."
Seeing this, Si Nong and his companions could only put aside their doubts and ask them what they were going to do.
The Taifu and his colleagues answered perfectly, taking each step one step at a time.
......
On the way back, Si Nong and his companions were still wondering why they did this.
After a few days, when all the colleagues had come to visit, the Taifu and his men asked the servants at home to pretend to pray for them.
They then left the city in disguise. A few days later, they sent the letter they had prepared to the Minister of Agriculture and the Ministry of Revenue.
They had been thinking for many days but couldn't figure out why. Now that they saw the contents of the letter, they all started cursing.
Scold them for being too bad, and scolded them for being too smart.
Finally, he said that they were too bold and were not afraid that the Queen would find out and punish them for deceiving the emperor.
Several people cursed for a long time, and hated themselves for not being as smart as them. Who could have thought that they would take advantage of the opportunity to set up such a trap just after receiving the letter? ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
I even took sick leave easily...
