The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 197 Intensification
The emperor had his door blocked by court officials for nearly half a month. At first, he did not take the court officials seriously and spent every day having fun with the concubine in the Leopard Room.
As a result, half a month had passed and it was already March. The emperor was tired of staying in the Leopard Room and wanted to leave the palace to go hunting and outing in the West Hills. However, this group of court officials still refused to leave, so the emperor became angry.
You are shameless and rebellious!
Is it reasonable for a dignified emperor to be blocked from leaving the palace by his own ministers?
It seems that we didn’t fight hard enough last time. I don’t believe that there are people who are not afraid of death.
The emperor issued an order to the ministers, giving them half an hour to retreat quickly. If they dare not retreat again, they will be beaten by the emperor. They will stop when they retreat!
The imperial guards following the emperor, especially the Jinwu Guards who protect him closely, are all children of meritorious families in the court. Those who are qualified to enter the palace and kneel at the door of the Leopard Room are all ministers of the fifth rank and above in the court.
Families with great achievements value class, and the families that arrange marriages back and forth are also those families.
So for the Jinwu Guards, most of the ministers kneeling outside the Leopard House were their relatives and elders.
The emperor ordered the beating of the prisoners. The imperial guards of the Jinwu Guards who carried out the execution were all veterans of beating the prisoners and knew what was going on. They dared not not beat the prisoners as that would be disobeying the emperor's order. But they would not really beat the prisoners to death. After all, they were their elders. If they really beat them to death, how would they explain to their families?
As a result, it was clear that the blow was not severe, and it was only a few strokes of the board. The other adults were fine, but Lord Luo suddenly started bleeding from the mouth and nose and died.
Since someone really died, the imperial guards immediately stopped the execution and went to ask the emperor for instructions.
The emperor heard this, but thought it was no big deal. It was just a warning to the monkeys. If the chicken was not dead, the monkeys would not retreat. He issued another decree:
"See if they dare to cause trouble again. If anyone dares to kneel again, Luo Min is a lesson for them. I want to see whether their fate is tough or my punishment is tough! How dare they control me!"
The emperor thought that there was nothing wrong with this. How could a ruler of a country be controlled by his court officials?
When Taizu was alive, he had a strong character and would never be bullied. If anyone dared to bully Taizu, he would kill them all, often to the point where half of the government offices were empty.
Taizu's method of doing things has always been to kill first, and then to grant special examinations when there is no one left to work. There are many scholars in the world, and many of them are begging me for mercy. Are you afraid that there will be no one left to work? How dare you control me?
After killing a batch of people and clearing out the positions, the new people who come in will all be obedient.
But the emperor never thought that the situation was different now. Taizu had conquered the country with his own hands, so he had great prestige in the court. Moreover, Taizu had never done such a stupid thing as murdering his uncle or occupying his aunt.
Every time Taizu killed someone, no matter how big or small the crime was, he would at least have a legitimate charge to convict him before executing him.
But this time, the emperor was wrong first, and the ministers were in the right and had done nothing wrong. Yet the emperor actually ordered someone to be beaten to death. The ministers were so enraged that they broke through the barrier of the imperial guards, rushed into the Leopard Room, and surrounded the emperor's residence.
He Hongfei came to see the eldest princess to ask her to mediate and stop the fight.
After all, the eldest princess has enjoyed considerable prestige in the court over the past year. Even her father, Lord He, who had some complaints about the eldest princess's constant entanglement with his daughter, praised the eldest princess herself.
He Hongfei had heard his father sigh several times, saying that the eldest princess had both the legacy of Taizu and the benevolence of the late emperor, but it was a pity...
It’s just a pity that Lord He didn’t finish explaining what it was, but Lord He also said the same thing when He Hongfei was trapped at home with no way out.
Hearing that someone was killed, Su Fengyi looked at the anxious He Hongfei, but sat firmly in her seat without moving at all, and said:
"Someone's dead? Has the imperial physician come to see him? Send the imperial physician to take a look."
He Hongfei was a little dumbfounded:
"Ah? Your Highness, you're not going? The person is dead, what is the imperial physician going to do? Collect the body?"
Su Fengyi closed the work schedule in her hand:
"The Imperial Guards have always had rules for beating people with sticks. How could someone die so easily? Let the imperial physician take a look to see if there is something wrong with Lord Luo himself."
After He Hongfei left, Su Fengyi ignored the excitement in the Leopard Room and went straight back to the Princess's Mansion.
Without Qiao Gui as a fig leaf and a buffer between the emperor and the courtiers, the contradiction between the emperor and the courtiers will only intensify. Either the east wind will prevail over the west wind, or the west wind will prevail over the east wind. There will be no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
Luo Min, the Minister of Rites, is the cousin of Lord Luo, the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu. Pingliang and Qingyang are both in Shaanxi and Gansu.
The King of Pingliang had no soldiers under his command, but he was the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, and he held both military and political power and a large number of troops under his command.
So when the King of Pingliang saw that the way of increasing his reputation was not working, he immediately changed his strategy and set his sights on the Luo family again.
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Su Fengyi immediately wrote a letter to Shen Quan, asking him to keep an eye on the movements in Shaanxi and Gansu. Pingcheng is between the capital and Shaanxi and Gansu. If the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu mobilizes troops, he will definitely pass through Shanxi, and Shen Quan must know about it.
But Su Fengyi was very curious. Although Lord Luo was the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, he was a civil servant and had no famous generals under his command. How could King Pingliang be so sure that Lord Luo could defeat General Shen and bring his troops to the capital?
The King of Pingliang must have some hidden card in his hand that I haven't noticed.
After arranging people to send the letter to General Shen by express horse, Su Fengyi called Wutong again to invite Zhu Qi.
Wutong went to invite him personally, and Zhu Qi knew that His Highness must have something important to do, so he came quickly.
After Zhu Qi arrived, he did not forget to report the great disturbance in the palace to the eldest princess:
"Your Highness, the ministers carried Lord Luo's body to block the emperor's door. The old lady and Madam Luo of the Luo family also entered the palace wearing imperial robes. How will this end?"
Su Fengyi looked at him:
"You still have the energy to care about how others end up. Clean up the Imperial Prison quickly, or it will be full and there will be no place to put people."
Zhu Qi:
"Ah? The emperor, he wouldn't do that, would he?"
As a result, the emperor was very angry. The door was blocked until night. The emperor finally exploded and ordered the imperial guards to arrest all those who were blocking the door, including Luo's widow, and put them in the Jinyiwei prison.
