The emperor's words are true, but sometimes it should not be taken too seriously. For example, if the emperor is expelling a favored minister from the palace and does not mention it after getting angry, then there is no need to follow up and ask.
The Royal Palace of Yaoguo is always uneasy. Not long after he was promoted, Yao Bing, the promising head guard, was dismissed by the emperor for saying too much. In fact, he had good intentions and wanted to remind him that three days had passed and Jun Shen had not been exiled as ordered.
When Yi Huaiyu left the palace, he was kicked hard by Yi Huaiyu. Not only did he lose his official position, but he was also treated as a laughing stock in the former harem.
Yi Huaiyu couldn't bear to give up such a talented young man.
The failure of the battle between Bianbiao and Zhao State greatly weakened the vitality of Yao State. Seeing that the one-month period was about to end, Yi Huaiyu still had not decided which prince he would use in exchange for Sima Yuan's life. However, discussions gradually started in the harem.
Almost all the fingers are pointed at the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan.
Yi Chenxuan was the most unfortunate of all the princes. Although he was loved endlessly by Emperor Yi Huaiyu, the change of his biological mother and adoptive mother made the child too mature. After his biological mother, Concubine Shu, fell into a trance and committed suicide in a well, the fifth prince was sent to Youyou.
After that, Concubine De became even more favored, but the childlike innocence on the face of the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan still slowly lost, becoming silent and profound.
"Aren't those concubines just dissatisfied with Xuan'er and their mother and son? I refuse to hand over Xuan'er, what can they do?" Regarding the increasingly popular discussion about the harem, Yi Huaiyu sneered in response, "I want to give it away.
Whoever leaves is my right, and if I don’t speak, it will be useless no matter how much they discuss.”
It is well known that Yi Huaiyu likes to take everything into his own hands, and those ministers did not dare to say a word about this matter. However, when the emperor does not just do whatever he wants, there is something that can eclipse the papacy.
Water can carry a boat or capsize it, Yi Huaiyu often said, but he never thought that one day he would find himself in it and unable to struggle out.
He couldn't remember how many sleepless nights he had spent, but Tao Shihai's whispering voice woke him up when he was just a little sleepy. He frowned, put on his single clothes and walked outside the room. He saw several young eunuchs hurriedly chatting with each other.
Tao Shihai said something, and some even looked like they were about to cry.
"What are you arguing about here? Is there a new mourner in any palace?" Insomnia for days made Yi Huaiyu feel very bad. He felt upset when he saw those little eunuchs cowering, and he couldn't help but cursed fiercely.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The little eunuchs didn't have many opportunities to see Yi Huaiyu on weekdays, so they were very frightened when they saw him angry. They even dared not look up and looked directly at him. They kicked each other back and forth, and no one was willing to speak first.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Things are a bit... tricky, so they don't know what to say, so let's let the servants do it." Tao Shihai explained to the young eunuchs, while inviting Yi Huaiyu to one side and standing on tiptoes to get closer.
Next to Yi Huaiyu's ears, "Your Majesty, the empresses of the palaces and several ministers from the previous dynasty are causing trouble together. It is not that the emperor is partial to the concubine, and even turns a blind eye to evil deeds such as poisoning and assassination. These are useless things.
They were sent by various palaces and are so complete, I guess they have already been discussed privately."
All the palaces sent eunuchs to express their dissatisfaction? And they were also targeting Su Shiyun?
Yi Huaiyu lost all sleep in an instant, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he made a cold and stern arc: "I want to see which concubines are careless about life and death. They all think that my prince is too leisurely, and want to go to Zhao Kingdom to experience it."
?"
Tao Shihai shook his head and quietly stepped aside.
Yi Huaiyu did not take the unified actions of the concubines seriously. He took his time to wash and change clothes. He still waited until the time for going to court every day before stepping out of the bedroom. Seeing the appointed eunuchs kneeling on the ground outside, Yi Huaiyu was almost stunned.
You couldn't hear a chuckle, didn't raise your eyebrows, and hurried straight to the court without squinting.
But obviously he underestimated the situation this time.
The court hall, which used to be quiet and empty, was just like the outside of the dormitory. There were densely packed civil servants and military officers of all sizes kneeling on the ground. Except for a few officials who had nothing to do with the harem who looked stunned, most of them lowered their heads and remained silent.
Waiting for Yi Huaiyu's reaction.
Yi Huaiyu walked to the dragon chair with his hands behind his back. He did not sit down, but looked down with a look of disdain, his cold eyes cold and cold: "It seems that those ignorant concubines are not the only ones who are working together, but also a group of idiots who don't know how to live or die. Let's talk about it.
Well, what method do you plan to use to force me to deal with innocent people, commit suicide in public, or hit the pillars to show their will? Tao Shihai, go and call all the imperial doctors from the imperial doctor's office, and ask them to prepare clean cloth and water, and save those who can.
Those who insist on dying will be sent home to die."
Those ministers who had been kneeling all morning wanted to give Yi Huaiyu a showdown. Unexpectedly, before they could show off their impassioned words, Yi Huaiyu coldly put a dead end in front of them. For a moment, you looked at me, I saw
Looking at you, everyone is staring and speechless.
"Your Majesty! I have something to say!" After waiting for a long time, someone finally stood up and all eyes in the room followed him. The person who broke the silence raised his arms and had a gray beard. He was not a relative of the emperor, but related to a certain concubine.
They have a close relationship. Seeing Yi Huaiyu's gaze, he took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "Earlier, the Queen was poisoned and murdered. The poison used was found in the concubine's palace. The incident was ignored. This time, the Queen
He was assassinated again, and it turned out to be related to the concubine Jing. There is nothing wrong with which empress the emperor favors, but such indifference between good and evil and indulgence in favoritism really makes the ministers and others sad!"
"Although we could not extract the mastermind from the assassin, it is too obvious to kill people and silence them. If Concubine Jing had not been secretly causing trouble, how could the palace maid Lianchenxuan who conspired with the assassin suddenly leave the palace and be killed on the way? The emperor cannot just ask for help.
The physical evidence shows no regard for reason. People all over the world are watching. Please make a careful decision on this matter."
"Every evidence that Manager Yao has found proves that Concubine Jing is vicious. He first sent someone to assassinate the Queen, then pretended to be assassinated to eliminate suspicion, and finally killed someone to silence her without any evidence... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you once said that the world is fair and the law cannot tolerate it.
Love, now for the sake of a woman, will the emperor abandon his past vows and let my people in Dayao fall into turmoil and doubt again?!"
One person's words will always arouse more echoes. Before Yi Huaiyu had time to respond to the first person's accusation, two more, three, four... a lot of courtiers, who said nothing to each other, actually made the court
The hall turned into a bustling city, and the crowd was so excited that even Yi Huaiyu's angry shouts were drowned out.
After the expedition was defeated by the Bai family's army, Yi Huaiyu once again felt a strong setback, both from the former dynasty that he thought he had firm control over, and from the harem that he thought someone was in charge of.
In the hall, Ou Suiliang silently watched the king of a country with a gloomy and uncertain face. He neither participated in the public condemnation nor stepped forward to protect Yi Huaiyu from the wind and rain - how could he withstand this wind and rain? I'm afraid it has been.
In this matter, Yi Huaiyu had to make some decisions against his will.
