Chapter 505 Duke Yan
The civil servant's body fell outside the palace door, and blood flowed down the jade steps. The courtiers who knelt outside the palace to remonstrate were all so shocked that their eyes were red.
Kill, really kill!
I thought that after registering, Emperor Wuxing would restrain his murderous intentions in order to win people's hearts, but today, just a word about making an imperial concubine, Emperor Wuxing immediately killed the civil servants!
Chill gushed out from the cracks in Wen Chen's bones. It was almost summer and they were shivering with cold.
Some old ministers stood up angrily and shouted in pain: "Your Majesty, Taizong, I am incompetent and unable to persuade your majesty. I will die now and go to apologize to your majesty, Taizong!!"
After saying this, he also attracted the attention of all the courtiers.
When he was about to hit the stone pillar, his colleagues stopped him in time: "Mr. Zhou, no, you must not abandon me and wait!"
Mr. Zhou cried bitterly: "I am the Minister of Rites. I see His Majesty doing something that goes against the precepts of our ancestors but I am unable to stop him. I should die to thank the Emperor for his kindness!"
The civil servant who was killed just now was a minor official of Yushitai. After the death of that minor official, Yushitai could save his face.
The Ministry of Rites must also show some character, otherwise it will be ridiculed by the world.
"Comrades, let go and let me go and apologize to His Majesty Taizong!" Mr. Zhou struggled, but the officials held him tightly and he could no longer touch the pillar.
He had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow. Every time he kowtows, he shouts: "I beg your majesty to follow the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty and issue an order to demote the four noble concubines to the rank of concubines!"
The imperial concubines of the Wei Dynasty were of the first rank, and the four concubines were of the first rank.
The other ministers also kowtowed and shouted: "I beg your majesty to follow the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty and reduce the fourth noble concubine to the first-grade concubine!"
For a while, there were constant sounds of kowtows and shouts.
But there was no movement in the palace. It was not until night fell when Duke Yan came to see His Majesty that someone in the palace came out with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Yan, you have come to save this guy." Superintendent Wei seemed to have seen a savior.
The Duke of Yan, with his golden face and jade face, was as pure as a god in the sky. Hearing this, he laughed heartily: "Haha, how can it be such an exaggeration."
The courtiers kneeling behind them said: "..."
You are the brother-in-law whom Emperor Wuxing watched grow up, and you are the only living relative recognized by Emperor Wuxing. Of course you are not afraid!
"Duke Yan, I also hope that Duke Yan will persuade your majesty to save the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty." Lord Zhou choked with tears and begged.
Behind him, the ministers shouted again.
Duke Yan turned around, knelt down, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Zhou, gentlemen, I am here just to advise your majesty."
Then he said to Superintendent Wei: "Prepare dinner for all of you adults. You must not go hungry."
There are already more than a dozen weak ministers who are beginning to teeter on the ropes and will collapse if they don't eat and take a break.
"Yes." Supervisor Wei immediately asked someone to make arrangements... This was an order from Duke Yan. Even if His Majesty was not happy, he would not blame him, so his subordinates dared to do it.
However, some civil servants were quite courageous and shouted: "Gong Yan, I have been admonishing Your Majesty for a day to no avail. I will not eat for a day!"
Is this what those idiots shouted? Mr. Zhou wanted to kick them a few times.
After hearing this, Duke Yan just smiled and persuaded: "You still have to eat, so that you can have the strength to continue admonishing Your Majesty."
After saying this, without further words, he followed the Chief Inspector Wei into the Golden Palace and met Emperor Wuxing.
In the Golden Palace, Emperor Wuxing was sitting on the throne. Even though he was writing, reviewing memorials, and dealing with words, the murderous aura was still as thick as a cloak, wrapped around him, making people feel terrified.
"Is dinner available? You are in poor health and need to eat and take medicine on time." Emperor Wuxing said. Duke Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. My body is not that weak and I can still wield a spear."
Emperor Wuxing looked at Superintendent Wei: "Prepare the meal."
"Yes." Supervisor Wei was overjoyed. Sure enough, as soon as the young master came, His Majesty softened.
Eating at the Golden Palace again?
Is this a place for going to court?
Duke Yan wanted to suggest that he go to Taichen Palace to eat, but thinking about the ministers outside the Golden Palace, he stopped talking... Well, it was not the first time to have dinner in the Golden Palace. The ministers all accepted, so he I won’t talk about this anymore.
Yanzhou looked at Emperor Wuxing: "Your Majesty should not behead Master Lin. Doing so will only make the ministers afraid of remonstrance."
Once the fear of remonstrance continues to develop, it will alienate the monarch and his ministers. If there is another war, it will be a precursor to the destruction of the country.
"Lin Ji deserves to die!" Emperor Wu Xing's gentleness disappeared, and murderous intent surged: "The imperial concubine is the deputy queen, and among the people, she is the concubine. He dares to mention where the queen is? The queen is gone, but I am still here Not dead!”
There was a queen in the Wei Dynasty, who was the late Princess Yan, the wife of Emperor Wuxing.
Several noble concubines had already entered the palace and were canonized in April. This was because February was the conferment ceremony, Yan's birthday was also the Qingming Festival in March, and Emperor Wuxing needed to pay tribute to Yan and other deceased people.
"As long as I am here, no one can dishonor the Queen!" Emperor Wuxing spoke like nails and showed murderous intent. If Lin Ji's body had not been taken away, he might have ordered Lin Ji to be whipped.
Perhaps because he was too angry, Emperor Wu Xing frowned and raised his hands to cover his heart and lungs.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health!" Duke Yan knew that Emperor Wuxing had been hit by an arrow near his heart and lungs, and he would feel pain when he got angry. He immediately called the imperial physician accompanying him in the palace: "Quickly diagnose and treat your Majesty."
< br>
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Wu Xing refused: "You won't die even with a small injury."
The imperial doctor got the order and sat back down.
However, Duke Yan looked at Emperor Wuxing worriedly. After less than a quarter of an hour, the pain was greatly reduced, and Emperor Wuxing's expression returned to normal.
Seeing his worry, Emperor Wuxing smiled and said: "No need to worry, little brother, your brother-in-law can live for at least ten years."
And in just ten years, he can hand over the stability of the country to his successor. In this way, he can be regarded as worthy of his ancestors and worthy of the good people.
"Brother-in-law..." Duke Yan's voice was choked with sobs. He quickly recovered and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I found my sister's ivory comb."
Duke Yan took out a small white jade-like comb from the inner pocket of his wide sleeves, raised it, and shook it towards Emperor Wuxing.
Emperor Wuxing was startled and said hurriedly: "Bring it to me quickly!"
"Yes." Yan Zhou stepped forward quickly and handed him the comb.
Emperor Wuxing took the comb, groped carefully, and finally found a small groove on the ivory comb. He ordered someone to bring in a small tool, and after more than a quarter of an hour, he took out a piece of white jade from the ivory comb.
The white jade is long and thin, about the size of a soybean, with his and the queen's first and last name engraved on it.
This was the first year that he and the Queen got married. He made it with his own hands and gave it to the Queen as a birthday gift.
But after going through confiscation and exile, many things were destroyed by Ningkang, that bitch. He kept searching, and although he found many things, there was no such meaningful object.
"Ruru." Emperor Wu Xing murmured the queen's nickname. After a long time, he pulled away from his memories, looked at Yan Zhou, and said, "Little brother, you have done a good job. If you want any reward, just tell your brother-in-law. .”
Yan Zhou suppressed his tears and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I just have something to ask for... I beg my brother-in-law not to kill the civil servants who advised me, and to be kind to Lord Yinlin's eldest son."
