The concubine in the medicine pot is charming again, and the sick and tyrant obediently confesses 234 Surprised! Bamboo shoots are almost taken away by Ben Gong!
234 Surprised! Bamboo shoots are almost taken away by Ben Gong!
In front of the palace gate in the pouring rain, all the people petitioning were shouting with all their strength. Although it was a makeshift team, it was still organized and disciplined.
After all, there are organizers among them, such as some literati who received help from the Hua family or were supported by King Qi.
On the surface, they do not belong to any sect, but in fact, everyone has a tendency in their hearts. There are not none who truly believe in Taiqing, but they are a minority.
As the promoters of this petition, Feng Qi, Hua Qingsong, Xie Feng and others were gathering in a teahouse outside the palace gate, drinking tea and wine, and happily looking at the fruits of their labor.
Regardless of whether Taiqing's prophecy is true or false, it is good for them to get rid of Xiao Xiruo.
If the prophecy is true, then they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people and being loyal to the country.
"Look, my lords, the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army is finally here!"
I don't know who spoke, but everyone who heard the words looked at the crowd below.
I saw a group of forbidden troops passing through the rain curtain and surrounding the petitioning people in the center as quickly as possible. Some of them were extremely skilled and flew towards the few literati who were inciting the people.
The look in his eyes was venomous, as if he had set his sights on him early in the morning.
"Killing people! The Imperial Guards killing people!"
"The demon concubine brings harm to the country, the imperial army hurts people, and helps the tyrants to do harm. What a shame for the Yan Dynasty!"
"Let me go. I'm a distinguished official. You guys, don't be disrespectful!"
…
Those literati were also alert. When they saw the imperial army, they shouted loudly, which aroused the excitement of the ignorant people around them. Even some ordinary people who were holding umbrellas and watching the excitement in the rain couldn't help but shake their heads.
It is stated in the national law of Dayan that if people have any grievances, they can spontaneously go to the streets to petition.
It is not unheard of in the history of the Yan Dynasty that people suffered injustice and came to the imperial city to appeal.
Which emperor has not personally summoned the leaders and then sent officials to conduct a thorough investigation and give an explanation to the people as quickly as possible?
Why did he arrive at Emperor Shengchun's place and start taking people away without asking?
"Hahahahaha, okay, the Xiao family really has strong wings, they dare to catch this, right?"
On top of the teahouse, Feng Qi slapped the table and smiled.
Not to mention, they were really afraid that Xiao Xiruo would directly confess her crime and then ask the court to treat her leniently on the grounds of the Xiao family's various achievements.
It's really hard for them to say anything in that case, after all, the Xiao family and his son are still there.
But now it's better, Xiao Xiruo is obviously arrogant and will never give in. As long as she continues to be arrogant, sooner or later the people will stand against her, and her reputation as a demon concubine will be confirmed!
Do it quickly, do it quickly, arrest people quickly, it's best to get two on the spot...
Everyone in the teahouse was excited, but they saw that the masters who grabbed the scholars not only did not twist them into the palace, but also lifted them to the front of the queue and let them stand where they should stand.
"Then, those masters of the imperial army said that their empress said that if they want to incite the people, they should stand in front and incite them. Otherwise, how can the people see them clearly?"
In the teahouse on the other side, Feng Xuan, who had just taken a sip of tea, choked and almost coughed out his lungs.
And Marquis Anding, who was by his side and had asked him for an unknown number of times today why he didn't get involved in this matter and why he didn't work with Hua Dang and Feng Qi to remove Xiao Xiruo from power, immediately became rude after hearing this.
No, doesn't Xiao Xiruo know what kind of reputation she has now?
She was not in a hurry to drag these people in and torture them so that they would rebel under torture, but instead moved them to the front to stand on the platform?
What are you doing?
Crazy?
But when everyone was petrified due to Xiao Xiruo's manipulation, she was being lectured by her own Ayan...
"It's just a bunch of stupid people. As long as the leaders are dealt with, they won't be able to stay for even an hour, not to mention a few days. It's a good thing you came here because of this, and even got caught in the rain..."
Xiao Xiruo blinked and her bright eyes looked at him aggrievedly.
"You've recovered from your illness these past two days. Even if it rains in the summer, you can't get wet, not to mention it's so noisy here."
Xiao Xiruo grabbed the corner of his clothes, biting her lip and her eyes turned red.
"You are really..."
Seeing that the rabbit in front of him was about to turn red and start twitching, Feng Wuyan knew she was faking it, but he still smiled helplessly and immediately used his inner strength to help her dry her clothes.
Sure enough, the bad rabbit burst into laughter the next second and reached out to him for a hug.
Regarding this, Feng Yehan, who had been watching the show and stood in front of a stick of incense, heard his seventh brother say that he would reprimand his cousin and make sure that the other party would remember: "..."
ah……
He really wants to set fire to them both, what should he do?
Although Xiao Xiruo escaped the reprimand by acting coquettishly, Feng Wuyan carried her back to Changle Palace and asked Wen Susu to drag her into the bath to warm her up.
According to her wishes, Feng Wuyan and Feng Yehan, who originally planned to use thunderous means to resolve the petition, ignored the matter.
So that bunch of stupid people survived the imperial army and the heavy rain. They were almost numb on their knees, but they didn't see the palace door in front of them open again. I gave them a reasonable explanation.
It wasn't until the next morning, when all the ministers entered the palace for the morning court, that they had the strength to start shouting again, in an attempt to attract the attention of the emperor and other nobles.
However, no matter how hard they howled, no matter how Hua Dang and King Qi's family explained the importance of this matter to the court and its impact on the image of the court, the young man on the dragon throne remained unmoved.
You can persuade him, but you can't force him.
Because a little farce he makes casually can make you accused of being disrespectful in front of the palace.
But will he listen to your advice?
Not only did he not listen, he would also look at you with eyes as cold as cold pools and eyes as cold as jade, until you felt your heart tremble, and you didn't dare to say another word despite the murderous intent.
So the petition brigade could only watch the officials regretfully leaving the palace, and the process lasted until noon in the scorching sun.
After petitioning day and night, I endured wind and rain, endured hunger and pain, not to mention the pain in my knees, and now I am still hot and sweating, and my whole body is almost wilting.
Fortunately, just when they thought they were about to be unable to bear it any longer, the imperial troops who withdrew yesterday came again.
They were wearing armor and carrying long knives at their waists, and groups of people were parked neatly around them. If it wasn't yesterday's siege, what was it?
Seeing this, the few literati who were kneeling at the front and had been leading the ignorant people were overjoyed. Great, as long as the imperial army captures them, their mission will be completed.
Then, they saw the palace door open, and a group of eunuchs walked out quickly carrying tables and chairs, placing everything neatly.
The huge oil-paper umbrella for sun protection, the large ice cubes for keeping cool, and the freshly cut and plated red watermelon taken out of the ice cellar...
Oh, and there is a certain imperial concubine who is wearing a snow-colored brocade dress and shaking a small fan in her hand. She is leaning on a soft chair and complains that the watermelon is too cold, the ice cubes are too cold, and there are too many people here that hinder her from enjoying the scenery.
