Chapter 423: Conflict with Confucians
The Minister of Rites walked out of the queue and said loudly: "The emperor is ill today, so let Concubine De take charge of the affairs instead!"
Liu Yuanhui scratched his nose: "Replacing the government? Where is the imperial edict? I think the empress's posture does not look like she is replacing the emperor, but she is directly replacing the emperor!"
"My dear minister, don't talk nonsense!" Concubine De refuted loudly, but the cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down, and she subconsciously stood up from the throne.
During Yelu Feixue's expedition, Concubine De was in charge of the affairs. She always regarded a deer as a horse and sat on a dragon chair to listen to politics.
The ministers were afraid of offending their relatives and being exterminated. Never dare to say anything.
Concubine De's arrogant behavior today was exposed by an unknown person in front of everyone. Everyone could no longer unite and act like a blind man, so they could only lower their heads and remain silent to cover up their embarrassment.
When Liu Yuanhui saw Concubine De standing up, he immediately said: "Look, this empress, does she feel that she feels more relaxed standing up than sitting on it? I've finished speaking, everyone, let's continue!"
"Well done!" Yelv Feixue whispered.
"Hahaha, what a joke!" Liu Yuanhui said.
Concubine De stood beside the dragon throne and tried her best to hide her anger, and said calmly: "If you have something to do, go to court, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
A minister stepped forward: "I have something to report to the Minister of War! I want to impeach General Yelu Feixue on three charges!"
Concubine De sneered secretly in her heart: "Speak!"
The Minister of the Ministry of War bowed and said: "A few months ago, Yelv Feixue broke into the Ministry of War without permission after learning about the military situation that was still uncertain, and forcibly took away the military symbols. Without the permission of the imperial court, he privately led troops on an expedition. This is the first One crime! As an official of the imperial court, the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses was supposed to guard the safety of Kyoto. Yelu Feixue left his post without permission for more than four months. This is the second crime! He privately led 10,000 soldiers and horses on an expedition and only brought back two people. After entering the capital, the whereabouts of 10,000 soldiers are unknown, this is the third crime!"
"What crime should be punished according to the law?" asked Concubine De.
"Any one of these is a capital crime! Although the princess is a relative of the emperor and should have been under house arrest in the palace for life, Princess Feixue is punished for the three crimes, and the death penalty is inevitable!" The Minister of the Ministry of War was categorical!
Yelv Feixue was about to argue, but was interrupted by a series of voices.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"..."
In less than a minute, all the civil and military officials in the entire court knelt on the ground to express their support for the beheading of Yelu Feixue.
Yelu Feixue looked at the ministers with a look of astonishment and tears in her eyes.
No one in this imperial court that she had saved from a narrow escape actually spoke up for her. Instead, they all wanted to put her to death!
Prime Minister Li Chuwen remained silent, and even his cousin Yelu Dashi turned a deaf ear to the nonsense impeachment and sat there with his eyes closed to relax.
Concubine De, who was standing next to the dragon chair, couldn't hide the joyful expression on her face.
Yelu Feixue was completely desperate.
No matter how powerful you are in martial arts, no matter how loyal you are to your family and country, everything is so fragile in the face of power and conspiracy!
He had narrowly escaped death many times at the hands of Jurchen armies dozens of times larger than himself, but he would eventually die under the butcher's knife of his own people.
Yelv Feixue smiled bitterly, and the whip slipped from her hand.
"You imperial officials are so ridiculous! Are you still shameless!?" Liu Yuanhui reached out to catch Yelu Feixue's whip and spoke loudly.
Yelv Feixue looked at Liu Yuanhui in surprise.
Liu Yuanhui jumped off the horse, handed the whip back to Yelu Feixue, and then patted her wrist.
"This is the Minister of the Ministry of War! What is the first crime you just mentioned? General Feixue broke into the Ministry of War and took the military talisman by force, right?" Liu Yuanhui said, shaking the riding crop in his hand.
The Minister of War replied: "That's right!"
Liu Yuanhui smiled and said: "Princess Feixue should be punished for taking away the military talisman. Then, as the Minister of War, what crime should you be punished for losing the military talisman?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War was stunned for a moment, and then said after thinking for a moment: "Yelü Feixue's martial arts skills are unparalleled, and no one in our Ministry of War can defeat him! It is reasonable for the soldier talisman to be taken away!"
"You fart!"
"Above the court, you are full of dirty words!" Minister of the Ministry of War pointed at Liu Yuanhui and his eyes widened.
"Your military department is not as capable as the princess. You lost the military talisman and you want to punish the princess! What kind of reasoning is this? Are you farting? Could it be that if the masters of the Jin Kingdom came to the military department and took it away? Soldier Talisman, you still want to punish the Jin people for their sins and keep yourself out of the matter? Princess Feixue snatching the Soldier Talisman is a capital crime, so shouldn't it be a death penalty for you to lose the Soldier Talisman!" Liu Yuanhui said and pressed forward.
"This..." The Minister of War was forced to retreat continuously.
Liu Yuanhui whipped off the official title of the Minister of War, and asked sternly: "If you want to punish Princess Feixue for this crime, then the entire Ministry of War should be guilty!"
Liu Yuanhui was well-founded and very logical, but none of the ministers who seconded the charge could stand up to defend him, especially Concubine De.
The Minister of War could not argue, but was sweating profusely. He could only say angrily: "Let me take back this charge!"
Liu Yuanhui waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I haven't finished speaking yet! What was the second charge just now? Oh, for leaving without authorization, right? Let me ask you, what is the name of the army guarding the Imperial City of Kyoto?"
The Minister of War lowered his head and said nothing, his legs shaking a little.
Liu Yuanhui glanced at everyone, but no one dared to answer.
"Imperial City Guards!" Yelu Gulan replied.
"Yes! So who is the commander of this imperial guard?" Liu Yuanhui asked next.
"It's me! Yelu Dashi!" Yelu Dashi opened his eyes and said.
Liu Yuanhui clapped his hands and said, "That's right! The responsibility of guarding Kyoto is that big stone, not Princess Feixue's. So when Princess Feixue leaves Kyoto, how come she is AWOL?"
Concubine De was not angry and stepped forward and said: "Yelü Feixue's martial arts skills are among the best in the Liao Kingdom! The safety of the royal family should be protected!"
Liu Yuanhui raised his voice: "What does the empress mean, that any land in Daliao, except the imperial palace, can be thrown away at will? How does it sound like ceding land to treason? This idea of yours is dangerous. Is it possible for you to talk to the Jurchens in the east? Pass?"
Concubine De suddenly became furious and said while retreating: "You, you, don't spit on others!"
Liu Yuanhui spread his hands: "My dear, I'm just guessing! Why are you so excited? It makes you feel guilty! Okay! In this case, Princess Feixue cannot leave the capital without permission if she leaves Kyoto. Since your Majesty, you are so dependent on Feixue Princess, just be nice to her from now on!"
Yelu Feixue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"And you! And all of you courtiers who seconded the proposal, each one of them, should you be punished for slandering an official of the imperial court?!" Liu Yuanhui pointed at the crowd and shouted.
The civil and military officials present were so frightened that they all stood up and wiped their sweat while saying:
"I give up my second proposal!"
"I was misled by the Minister of War!"
"I also give up my second proposal!"
"The Minister of War should be punished!"
"..."
Liu Yuanhui yelled loudly and angrily: "You bunch of useless wallflowers, you are really a raging army, and you will be raging in a nest! Which bastard introduced you to the imperial court?"
All civil and military officials secretly looked up at Concubine De.
After all, they were all related to Concubine De. Liu Yuanhui's move to accuse Sang and Huai made Concubine De's face turn green.
The Minister of the Ministry of War, who had vowed to impeach just now, could not even speak anymore. He was just standing on the ground shivering, and his clothes had been soaked with sweat...
