Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

A group of people arrived in front of the emperor and subconsciously felt a little afraid when they saw the emperor sitting majestically.

The group of people present did not dare to speak, and waited quietly for the emperor to speak first.

Standing beside the emperor were the Minister of Rites, the Prime Minister, and several ministers.

He looked at the few people present with a serious expression at this time, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why I am so anxious to call you back to Beijing?"

Sensing that the emperor was in a bad mood, Yao Shu guessed that it was the actions of a few of them that broke the balanced political situation in the court.

The emperor knew that the Minister of Rites was not a simple person, but in order to maintain the stability of the court, he could only turn a blind eye.

But he didn't expect that Yao Shu and others would directly handle this matter openly, and he didn't expect that the Minister of Rites would be so arrogant as to attack the princess directly.

All of this was beyond the emperor's original control, which is why he is so angry now.

Long Yan was so furious that everyone present did not dare to speak.

Everyone knelt on the ground quietly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

After a long time, I heard the emperor say to the princess: "Chang An also knows something about this matter. I wonder what your current views on this matter are?"

The emperor was worthy of being an emperor. He did not directly ask what happened, but wanted to see where the princess stood.

For the emperor, the princess naturally wanted to be on his side.

If the princess took the initiative to express that there was no problem with her worth, the emperor would be even less likely to betroth the princess to Shen Fugui.

Regardless of his previous status, as long as he can marry the princess, he can be appreciated by the emperor.

This is a fact that everyone has always seen. In addition, the princess is both talented and beautiful, and she is also a rare beauty, so everyone will desperately want to please the princess.

She didn't expect that the princess would actually fall in love with the boy from the Shen family, not to mention that the Shen family was just a family of merchants and had just recently moved to the capital.

With no background, no rights, no strength, and only money, the Shen family was not worth mentioning in the eyes of other aristocratic families in the capital.

Seeing that everyone continued to compete for the princess's heart, the emperor unexpectedly acquiesced to the princess's love for Shen Fugui.

Therefore, after this incident, many aristocratic families in the capital would naturally want to take the opportunity to step on the Shen family and prevent the princess from actually marrying Shen Fugui.

The princess stood up slowly, saluted seriously, and then said: "Back to my father, Chang An doesn't know what happened in the battle between the two armies. After all, I have never learned about military affairs. But what I experienced this time What happened was extremely dangerous. Whether in the military camp or on the way to the Western Regions, I experienced all kinds of frightening things. If it weren't for a group of people protecting my safety, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back alive to see you now. Father."

After saying that, the princess immediately knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes: "After being kidnapped by the Turks, Chang'an really thought that he would never see my father again. If Mrs. Shen hadn't comforted me like a mother and tried her best to Take me out of the Turkic territory together, I'm afraid if you don't panic now, the Chang An you see is not the complete Chang An."

The princess was crying, which made the emperor feel particularly distressed.

He immediately said: "I have witnessed everything you have experienced during this period. I also know everything you have done in every town. I have to say that Mrs. Shen is indeed a woman. , and Mr. Shen is even more heroic. Although he is only a civil servant, he is still brave and resourceful."

Hearing that the emperor praised the Shen family so much, Yao Shu's heart skipped a beat.

Naturally, the emperor would not praise him so easily. They must be trying to suppress their feelings before they praise them.

As expected, the emperor then changed the topic: "It's just that you didn't report many things to me along the way, but instead advocated for solutions. If you didn't know, you would have thought that I don't exist."

Hearing this, Yao Shu quickly said: "Please calm down, Your Majesty, our Shen family has no intention or action to deceive the Emperor, and everything we have experienced along the way has been reported to the Emperor in detail. If the emperor hears some rumors, I hope the emperor can investigate clearly. Our Shen family has always been loyal to the emperor, and we have not done anything to regret the emperor during this period. "

Yao Shu did not show what they had done, but took the initiative to show weakness in the hope that the emperor would calm down.

This move surprised the Minister of Rites. He didn't expect that Yao Shu knew the general situation so well and knew how to use softness to overcome strength to make the emperor no longer angry.

If the Shen family can calm down the emperor's anger, I'm afraid it will be his turn next.

Thinking of this, the Minister of Rites quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, I don't know why the eldest son is following the Shen family. It must be to protect the safety of the princess and Lord Shen. Although I don't know what the eldest son did along the way. No matter what, I must have worked hard for everyone’s safety.”

"When have I ever blamed Mr. Li for going to the Western Regions?" The emperor waved his hand dissatisfied, signaling the Minister of Rites not to interrupt him any more.

Yao Shu breathed a sigh of relief when things got here. She now understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor's move was not to accuse the Shen family, but to elicit the next words to punish the Minister of Rites.

Obviously, Li Chen also discovered this, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Reporting to the emperor, if the minister had not followed the Shen family to the Western Regions, I am afraid he would not have known that my brother would do such a thing. . Weichen knew that this matter had something to do with Weichen, so he took my brother directly to the capital to be punished by the emperor."

"Isn't Li Sheng already in exile? How could he collude with the Huns?" After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at the prime minister beside him.

The prime minister shook his head in fear: "Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen was not involved in this matter. This matter was personally carried out by the Minister of Rites from beginning to end. Wei Chen thought that the Minister of Rites could solve these matters, so he Didn't proactively ask if he needed help."

Hearing this, Yao Shu couldn't help but sigh that the people who could be around the emperor were all shrewd people.

The Prime Minister put all the blame on the Minister of Rites in a few words. It seemed that he was blaming himself for not asking if he needed help. In fact, he was telling the emperor that all this was done by the Minister of Li Headquarters. It has nothing to do with myself.
