The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 237 Rebellious Thief
In the study of the Palace of Mental Cultivation, Su Fengyi was reading the Emperor's edict of repentance issued from Pingliang, as well as the manifesto issued by the King of Pingliang calling on heroes all over the world to fight against him.
There were ice cubes in the study, and it wasn't too hot, but Lord Yao, the Minister of Rites, was standing there, and he was sweating so much that drops of sweat were dripping onto the ground. The sweat was particularly noticeable in this quiet study.
Su Fengyi, who was reading the manifesto, heard the ticking sound, glanced at Lord Yao, and then said to Dangui:
"Please give Lord Yao a seat and serve him some cold tea."
Dangui moved a chair over and placed it next to the ice cubes, and served tea to Lord Yao. Lord Yao looked at the emperor's expression and sat down tremblingly.
Lord Yao was so nervous mainly because of the message written by Prince Pingliang, which was very impolite and was simply pointing at Your Majesty's nose and scolding her, accusing her of usurping the throne and disrupting the government, and calling on heroes from all over the world to gather in the capital to punish her.
Every word was so hurtful that even Lord Yao felt so angry when reading it, let alone Your Majesty, the person involved.
So Lord Yao was very worried, and the emperor was so angry that he killed him.
As a result, after reading it, Su Fengyi was not angry, but praised:
"This is a very well-written manifesto, with brilliant writing and solid reasoning. Even I feel my blood boiling after reading it, and want to rise up in rebellion, let alone others.
It is said that it was written by Zhou Yucheng's brother Zhou Yucai? The Zhou brothers, although they always cannot distinguish right from wrong on major issues, are still very good at writing articles. Lord Yao, please take it back and let the lords of the Ministry of Rites read it carefully and learn how to write this article. "
Lord Yao saw that His Majesty's expression did not seem to be ironic, but that he sincerely thought the manifesto was well written, so he quickly stood up, took the manifesto, and replied respectfully:
"Yes, we will obey your majesty's order and study it carefully."
Su Fengyi picked up the emperor's confession again and said:
"Compared with the one written by Zhou Yucai, the manifesto you wrote to the traitor Su Jiheng is obviously inferior. The insults you wrote are not to the point, not harsh enough, and not satisfying enough. You need to be bolder and more courageous.
I have read this edict of guilt by the pseudo-emperor. He has scolded himself very well. His writing style is in line with the traitors' manifestos. Zhou Yucai is indeed a talent. You can refer to this edict of guilt and use it as a standard. If you raise it further and scold Su Jiheng more profoundly, it will be enough.
We must hurry up and do this. We can't let General Shen's troops set out to fight the rebels in Pingliang before your manifesto is sent out."
You can't even do the job of scolding people, let alone do your job so well that His Majesty has to come and teach you personally and urge you to do it. That would be a real failure.
Lord Yao took the manifesto and the edict of repentance, bowed and left the study in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. While wiping the sweat off his face, he hurried to the Ministry of Rites.
He decided that no one in the Ministry of Rites could go home today. They all had to come with him to write a manifesto to attack the traitor Su Jiheng. No one could sleep unless they wrote a shocking and earth-shaking manifesto to report to His Majesty.
After the news that Prince Pingliang had declared himself emperor reached the capital, the first thing Su Fengyi did was to announce that the emperor in Prince Pingliang's hands was a treasonous impostor.
After all, the emperor of the Great Mu Dynasty was still sitting in the palace, attending court every day, reviewing memorials, meeting with ministers, working hard to govern the country, and in good health.
It is ridiculous to find someone who looks like the emperor from a remote corner of Pingliang and have him impersonate the emperor.
Since the emperor was fake, the emperor's abdication to Prince Pingliang was even more fake. Prince Pingliang proclaimed himself emperor based on this, which made him a traitor in every sense of the word and he should be executed for his crime.
After Su Fengyi denied the legitimacy of the Pingliang King's throne, he then deprived the Pingliang King of his political identity, issued an edict to strip the rebel Pingliang King of his title of vassal king, revoke his vassal king treatment, and demote him to a commoner.
He also ordered General Shen, the Grand Marshal of the Army, to immediately arrest the traitor Su Jiheng and his accomplices who impersonated the emperor and bring them to justice. If anyone resisted, they would be executed on the spot.
The original name of King Pingliang was Su Jiheng, so now the court officials called Su Fengyi by his name instead of his title.
Ever since Su Fengyi quietly entered the palace and became the emperor, many people must have wanted to know where the original emperor had gone. However, when it comes to the struggle for imperial power, smart people naturally keep their mouths shut and never get involved.
Therefore, most smart people will not delve into whether the person in the hands of the Prince of Pingliang is the real emperor. If His Majesty says it is not the emperor, then it is not the emperor.
He is not the only one who will die. If he really is, the capital city will be a river of blood.
Sacrifice him for the happiness of thousands of families, perfect.
Of course, there are also those who are not so smart, or those who are too smart for their own good. In the past few days, discordant voices have gradually emerged in the memorials submitted to Su Fengyi.
After Lord Yao left, Xue Yu carried the memorials he had sorted out for today into the Yangxin Palace, then picked up the two memorials that he had placed on top and said:
"Your Majesty, today another censor came forward and asked Your Majesty to bring the Emperor back from Pingliang."
Su Fengyi picked it up and took a look. This was the seventh letter in the past few days.
The content of the memorial was well thought out. It first praised the emperor's disappearance and the good work done by Su Fengyi during his regency.
With just one regent, Su Fengyi was transformed from His Majesty back into the eldest princess.
After writing a long and eloquent article, the memorial suddenly changed its tone and wrote that Su Fengyi's previous role as regent was a temporary measure because there was no other choice. Now that they knew where the emperor was, they should rescue the emperor as soon as possible and bring him back to the capital from Pingliang. It would be orthodox for Su Fengyi to retire after his success and return power to the emperor.
The Censor is an official who censors the emperor. It is his duty to give advice to the emperor. For fear that it will not look good in history books, the emperor usually will not do anything to the censor even if he is scolded by him.
Besides, for the censors, this is exactly what they want. Being killed for giving advice to the emperor is the highest honor for them.
Since Su Fengyi came to power, he has never used any violent and bloody means except for sending disobedient officials back to their hometowns to farm. Therefore, these censors have forgotten what kind of emperor is in power now, and what kind of emperor the previous emperor was.
When the first such memorial appeared, Su Fengyi simply kept it and did not punish the censor who submitted it.
One is to show his attitude, and the other is to see how many smart people will dare to come out and touch his reverse scale if he doesn't deal with it.
As a result, it seems that there are still many smart people in this world who are willing to take risks in order to serve the emperor.
Su Fengyi knew what these smart people were thinking. If he was blamed by Su Fengyi for his advice, he would not suffer any loss. But if Su Fengyi listened to him and really brought the emperor back, then the first person to speak up for the emperor would have made a huge contribution.
Seven, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is enough, Su Fengyi said to Xue Yu:
"Call the seven of them to court tomorrow."
In the capital, only officials of the fifth rank or above were eligible to attend the morning court. The censors who wrote the memorials were only seventh rank officials, and according to the rules, they were not eligible to attend the court.
So after receiving the imperial edict, the censors thought they had made the right bet. They were so excited that they could not sleep at home all night. They memorized the memorials before the emperor all night, and the next day they put on their official uniforms and went to court in high spirits.
At the morning court session, Su Fengyi looked at the censors who had automatically huddled together. She ignored other government affairs and asked Xue Yu to take out the memorials from the seven of them and read them out first.
Xue Yu read a book, and Su Fengyi called out one of the names and asked him:
"But you wrote it?"
There were seven books in a row. From the loud answer of the first censor to the hesitant answer of the seventh censor, Su Fengyi believed that they themselves began to realize that something was wrong, but Su Fengyi was not going to give them a way out.
Su Fengyi said:
"Pingliang is thousands of miles away from the capital. How do you know who he is? Have you seen him with your own eyes? Or did you hear Su Jiheng tell you about it? Xue Yu, have I issued an edict on how to deal with the traitors and their accomplices?"
Xue Yu stood aside and answered loudly:
"The traitors and their accomplices shall be executed for their crimes."
As soon as Xue Yu finished speaking, Lu Hong led several imperial guards into the hall and dragged the seven imperial censors out.
After a while, Lu Hong came in again with the imperial guards, carrying seven bloody heads.
Su Fengyi looked at the seven heads and nodded:
"You have done a good job. If there are any accomplices of the traitor Su Jiheng, we will also follow this example. What do you think, gentlemen?"
