The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 200 Situation
Su Fengyi went to the palace to see the emperor because she believed that the situation had become very bad and that a decisive action must be taken and dealt with immediately.
But the emperor didn't think so. He looked at Su Fengyi provocatively:
"Oh? My sister takes herself too seriously. I don't know what situation I need you to solve right now?"
In the past, Su Fengyi regarded the emperor as her younger brother, so she felt angry and disappointed. She was angry at her younger brother's absurdity, and disappointed that her younger brother did not shoulder the responsibilities that an emperor should bear.
But now, when Su Fengyi looked at him, she was looking at an opponent.
She will no longer be disappointed and angry at her opponent's mistakes, but she will no longer try to succeed by attributing to him things he didn't do.
She has to rely on her own strength to defeat him and win fairly.
Su Fengyi looked at the emperor calmly:
"The emperor did not allow the ministers to kneel in the palace, so the ministers knelt outside the palace gate. Everyone carried a coffin. The Imperial Street was blocked. It has been blocked for several days. The people of the capital are in a panic and rumors are spreading. Does the emperor know?"
After all, the conflicts between the emperor and his courtiers in the past only occurred in the palace, in the court, and within a small circle.
But now the emperor has blocked the way for court officials to kneel and make remonstrations, and has forced them to kneel outside the palace. This is equivalent to personally announcing the conflicts in the court to the world, making them known to everyone.
In the past, the emperor was high above, hiding in the deep palace. Although there were rumors, ordinary people could only hear scraps at most.
But now, the court officials are kneeling on the street, the coffin is placed on the street, and the melons can be eaten fresh. Who among the people in the capital doesn’t want to get closer and have a bite?
The emperor, who was originally high and mighty, suddenly became the topic of conversation for everyone after dinner, mixed in everyone's ambiguous imaginations, and subject to people's fantasies and speculations.
The onlookers all expressed that how licentious was this licentious emperor, as he could force the ministers to kneel down and make remonstrances while supporting the coffin. What we know is so shocking, and who knows how many more activities he has been involved in.
As the melon grew bigger and bigger, Pei Yu's skill of praising and killing the King of Pingliang had gone through the stage of praising and started to kill.
Behind every licentious and immoral emperor, there must be a treacherous villain. Qiao Gui’s death was not blamed on him, but naturally on the head of Prince Pingliang.
After all, who sent the Concubine Chen to the palace? It was the Prince of Pingliang.
What does the Prince of Pingliang like to do most? Send women to the Emperor.
Recently, an erotic book about the art of sex has been secretly circulating among bookstores in the capital. It is said to have been presented to the emperor by the Prince of Pingliang and is selling like hot cakes.
There was also an even more terrifying rumor that the King of Qingyang was killed by the King of Pingliang in order to offer the Princess of Qingyang as a token of flattery. Lord Luo was also killed by the King of Pingliang in order to pin the blame on the Emperor and usurp the throne.
A bad guy can become a Buddha instantly if he lays down his butcher knife, but a good guy's reputation will be ruined if he has the slightest flaw. The King of Pingliang had set the bar for himself too high before. The higher he stands, the harder he falls. His originally great and glorious image has collapsed like a dead tree, and it cannot be repaired no matter how hard he tries.
This is the situation that Su Fengyi described to the emperor. It is not only a conflict between the emperor and his courtiers, but also the majesty of the royal family among the people.
The reason why the royal family is extraordinary in the world is precisely because of this majesty. Once the majesty is destroyed, people will lose their sense of awe, and it will be difficult to establish it again.
However, Su Fengyi was not prepared to tell her opponent the deeper truth. What she told the emperor was just the superficial aspect, which was that the ministers knelt down in the street with the coffin in their arms to make their remonstrance. She had a way to resolve it, but it depended on whether the emperor agreed to it.
The emperor listened and snorted:
"My sister is frightened. What else can a bunch of ignorant and rebellious people do except bring a few pieces of rotten wood? Someone come!"
When the emperor summoned him, Xue Yu came in immediately.
The Emperor ordered him:
"Xue Yu, pass on the order. If they want to kneel, let them kneel. They brought coffins with them, so I will grant their wish.
From now on, every hour, let the Jinyiwei fill in a corpse from the Imperial Prison. I want to see if there are enough heads in the Imperial Prison to fill the coffins they bring."
Xue Yu did not answer immediately, but lowered his eyes, clasped his hands and waited for a moment. Seeing that the princess had no intention of stopping the emperor, he replied:
"Yes, I'll go now."
After Xue Yu left, the emperor specially sent someone to summon Concubine Chen.
When Concubine Chen saw Su Fengyi, her expression did not change and she bowed to her politely but distantly.
The emperor called Concubine Chen to sit next to him, and then in front of Su Fengyi, he lifted Concubine Chen's chin and asked her:
"Have you paid your respects to Concubine Hui today?"
The concubine lowered her eyebrows and replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey Your Majesty's order and go there every day."
The emperor pinched her face, looked into her eyes and asked her:
"I allow you to leave the palace and go home now. Do you want to go?"
The concubine's face turned pale and she almost cried. She said pitifully:
"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy. If I have made a mistake, I will correct it. I beg Your Majesty to give me a way out."
The Emperor untied the flower-patterned buttons on Concubine Chen's collar and asked her with a smile:
"The princess is worried that you are being forced and unwilling to do so, so she wants to relieve my worries."
The eldest princess was present, and the Concubine seemed to shrink a little, but seeing the anger in the emperor's smile, she meekly let him unbutton her clothes, then rubbed her cheek against the emperor's hand and said:
"It is my great pleasure to serve the Emperor."
The emperor's face was full of joy. He looked at Su Fengyi and asked:
"Royal sister, please tell me, is there any situation in the former court or the harem that I cannot handle, and do I need you to solve it? Would you like to stay and take a closer look?"
When Concubine Chen was pushed down on the couch by the Emperor, she heard the footsteps of the Princess leaving, and heard the Emperor's hearty laughter because he had made the Princess angry and run away, and she also laughed silently.
This was her first genuine smile since she became the Concubine Chen. She even laughed out loud when the Emperor pressed on her:
"Your Majesty, I am so happy."
……
Su Fengyi left not because she was angry, but because she had said everything she should say and done everything she should do, and there was no need to stay any longer.
On her way out of the palace, Xue Yu came back from delivering the imperial edict. He came up to her and said softly:
"Your Highness, the ministers still refuse to leave."
Su Fengyi said:
"It has come to this. If the emperor refuses to admit his mistakes, the court officials will not back down. If they backed down after being frightened, they would not have been able to hold out for so long."
Xue Yu was a little worried:
"Does the Emperor really kill one person every hour?"
Based on Su Fengyi's understanding of the emperor, the emperor is not bloodthirsty on normal days, but when he becomes rebellious and his rebellious heart emerges, the emperor will really disregard everything and start a killing spree.
Su Fengyi said:
"I'm going to go to the Imperial Guards. You keep an eye on the palace."
Upon hearing that the eldest princess was coming in person, Zhu Qi came up to her with an untidy beard and a haggard face.
Ever since the day the court minister was imprisoned, Su Fengyi visited the Jinyiwei every day.
Since Zhu Qi had signed the military order, he dared not be vague. He packed his bags and lived in the Jinyiwei Yamen for a period of time. He did not dare to leave for even a quarter of an hour for twelve hours a day, for fear that if he was negligent, something would go wrong and he, Zhu Qi, would be in danger of losing his life.
The imperial prison had already been tidied up by Zhu Qi. At least in each cell, there were clean beds to sleep on, and there was no shortage of food and drink every day. Zhu Qi even provided them with books to read, so the ministers who were imprisoned did not suffer too much.
When Su Fengyi walked into the imperial prison, the ministers in the cells stood up and saluted her one after another, and there was a constant stream of "Your Highness" in the prison.
Su Fengyi nodded one by one, and after visiting Luo's widow, she left the prison, stood at the gate of the Jinyiwei, and said to Zhu Qi:
"Go and bring me a throne."
