Inside the Manna Palace, there was a mess. The chambermaids knelt on the ground and trembled. Seeing the Queen's appearance, she felt like she was being pardoned and wanted to cry from the bottom of her heart.
The emperor is so terrible.
Empress Yang waved to them, and the maids in the chamber hurriedly left.
She looked at the imperial crown on the ground, at the jade beads scattered on the ground, and at the scattered sawdust and messy memorials all over the ground, her face suddenly turned cold.
Not far away, the emperor was sitting on the ground, leaning on a swaying couch, with a decadent look on his face, not even half of the majesty of a saint from the Tang Empire.
Queen Yang stepped forward and knelt before the emperor.
"Go out and let me be alone." Li Zhiyun did not want to pour out his anger on the queen.
Empress Yang did not listen, but said angrily: "Are you going to ignore the Tang Dynasty for a woman?
In the past, His Majesty said that the people of the Tang Dynasty were all brothers and sisters of Your Majesty. He destroyed the Turks and supported the people of Tang Dynasty. He conquered the north and consolidated the frontiers. He rejected the Khitan and showed his majesty. Now, Your Majesty is a woman and is so violently decadent. How can you still have it?
A little bit of the majesty of a king, the style of an emperor?
The late Emperor entrusted the country and the country to His Majesty's hands. Do you think His Majesty will abandon it for the sake of a woman?
If this is true, I cannot escape the blame for my sins. I cannot assist the king to achieve great things. I have to install the harem to honor the world as my mother. My sins are serious, and I am willing to die to apologize for my sins!"
After saying this, she quickly pulled out the hairpin and stabbed herself with the tip.
Li Zhiyun was shocked and quickly grabbed her hand.
"You're crazy!"
"I'm not crazy, your Majesty is crazy!" Queen Yang stared at him without fear, "It's my fault that I can't persuade your Majesty to do good. I can only forgive my sin by dying!"
"That's enough!" Li Zhiyun suddenly used force, grabbed the hairpin, and threw it far away, making a clanging sound.
The couple looked at each other for a moment, but Li Zhiyun finally avoided looking away in embarrassment.
"I know this is my fault."
"Your Majesty, do you know where the mistake is?" Queen Yang asked.
"You shouldn't accept Princess Qin."
"That's right." Queen Yang said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world. If your Majesty leads the way and takes care of your relatives and sisters-in-law, the people of the world will surely follow your example, and even the kings of future generations will also learn from your Majesty!
The courtiers who have invited you today are all speaking with iron heart and from the bottom of their hearts. They are willing to die for your majesty’s holy name. If your majesty insists on going your own way, how will you face the courtiers in the future?”
Speaking of this, Empress Yang added: "I know that your Majesty must be thinking that it is you who are embarrassed, not the courtiers, so why bother meddling in others' affairs."
Li Zhiyun blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.
That's what he thought.
Queen Yang continued: "But your Majesty, don't you hear that you have humiliated your ministers and died? For the courtiers, your Majesty is everything to them. If your Majesty takes in your own sister-in-law, it will be a stigma. To them, your Majesty must not be stained with it."
Otherwise, it would be my own fault for failing to dissuade His Majesty!
Now, courtiers are kneeling outside the palace. Most of them are His Majesty's confidants. Du Ruhui and Xue Cao are His Majesty's right-hand men. Wei Zheng is His Majesty's eyes and ears. Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong are His Majesty's swords, such as Xue Yuanjing and Wei Siqi.
, Cheng Yaojin and others, which one of them is not His Majesty’s loyal minister, which one is not His Majesty’s favorite general? Why did Your Majesty cut off his limbs just to be a woman?
Why do you do this to betray your loyalty and integrity?
Why do you let down the country and the country that the late emperor entrusted to your majesty?
Why is that!"
Facing the Queen's words, Li Zhiyun was speechless for a moment.
After a pause, he organized his words and said: "I know that Wei Zheng and the others are doing it for my own good. I also know that I am wrong. I also know that I cannot accept my sister-in-law."
You know that and you still get angry?
Queen Yang was stunned.
As soon as the words changed, Li Zhiyun said in a low voice: "But they shouldn't force me. Especially this guy Wei Zheng, he knows that I won't kill him, so he acts unscrupulously, doesn't take me seriously at all, and scolds me at will!"
"Your Majesty, this is how Wei Shangshu behaves. Isn't it clear to your Majesty?"
"Of course I know it!" Li Zhiyun took a deep breath, "If he is not loyal and honest, I will never let him go."
He knew very well that Wei Zheng had no bad intentions. On the contrary, he was really thinking about himself. What he was really angry about and couldn't accept was the rejection by so many courtiers today.
What do you want to do?
threaten?
Do you think this is the Taketoku Dynasty?
The world has been at peace for too long, and the ministers all thought that the emperor himself had become soft-hearted, right?
Empress Yang sighed: "Actually, I have always known that Your Majesty knows everything, but His Majesty should not insist on having his own way, even if it is a little tactful."
"I......"
Bang!
In the corner, a figure knocked over the golden cup and fell to the ground in a hurry.
Li Zhiyun looked gloomy and asked: "How long have you remembered it?"
That person was a historian who was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds, so as to provide evidence for the compilation of history books in the future.
"I didn't remember anything."
"Fart, you keep writing and never stop!" Li Zhiyun scolded angrily.
The historian acted like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, but did not speak. After all, he was a historian. The emperor had the ability to read the daily notes and change the history books!
Li Zhiyun really has nothing to do with this bastard. He can't imitate Li Shimin in reading daily notes.
"roll!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The limp man stepped out of the way. If he didn't, there was no guarantee that the emperor would not settle the score afterwards.
Anyway, he also recorded many important events today, which are enough to be included in the history books. Especially the part where Empress Yang persuaded the emperor, he must let his superiors write it into the history books!
Wonderful, so wonderful!
After scolding the historian, Li Zhiyun lost his interest in conversation and said calmly: "I don't know that Wei Zheng's intention is for my own good, but you still can't see through it."
As for what he couldn't see through, of course he couldn't see through the reason why he was really angry.
Wei Zheng had no selfish motives and only wanted to preserve his reputation as emperor, but some of his officials simply followed the crowd and watched the fun.
"Since Your Majesty knows, let all the ministers outside the palace go back. It is too shameful to kneel outside the palace." Queen Yang advised.
Li Zhiyun sneered and said, "When did I ask them to kneel outside? It's because they didn't want to let me go."
"Your Majesty." Queen Yang frowned.
Li Zhiyun sneered coldly, "Very good, one by one, don't learn from the good ones and the bad ones, right?"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Empress Yang was a little afraid of her husband who looked wrong.
Li Zhiyun said coldly: "Go and tell them and order them to go back immediately."
"That's it?"
"That's all!"
Seeing this, Queen Yang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I will go right now."
Watching the queen leave, Li Zhiyun punched the ground.
This court needs to be moved.
Otherwise, there may be some trouble in the future. It is not that he cannot accept opinions, but he cannot accept the threatening persecution of these ministers!
If they give in this time, they will think that the emperor is easy to bully and want to learn from Cao Shen's old story of Xiaohui!
He is entangled with Wei Zheng, this person is his confidant and an old official of Qiandi. He will not blame Wei Zheng for scolding him, because he knows that this is Wei Zheng's temper.
But this Wei Zheng has to take care of everything!
If he hadn't refused so forcefully, how could things be like this?
"Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, you are really pissing me off!"
Now that you’re older, can’t you be more diplomatic?
At this time, Queen Yang walked outside the palace and conveyed the emperor's words to the courtiers.
Wei Zheng asked: "Queen, may I ask if your majesty can take back your life?"
Empress Yang said harmoniously: "Your Majesty knows that Wei Shangshu is loyal, and I can see it. Your Majesty is very angry at the moment. Why don't Wei Shangshu persuade him someday?"
"this......"
"What the Empress said is true!" Du Ruhui interrupted Wei Zheng and then said, "I obey your order."
After saying that, he pulled and dragged Wei Zheng away.
