One Piece: BABY5's Love in the World

Chapter 171 The flowers on the other side bloom and fall

When Qin Lanxue and Ji Junyue sat down on the dragon chair that symbolized power, Xiao Lingzi, who was following behind, cleared his throat and raised his voice.

"All civil and military officials will report something to the government, and if there is nothing to do, they will leave the court!..."

The tone of this voice instantly brought back everyone's wandering thoughts, and their expressions were suddenly shocked. Taifu He was the first to stand up.

"I have something to report!"

He Jin was full of anger as soon as he opened his mouth. Although his old face had a sloppy beard, it was full of momentum. He looked like an arrogant scholar who took advantage of all his talents.

There was no need for Qin Lanxue and Ji Junyue to react. Xiao Lingzi's eyes flashed with a sneer, and he spoke skillfully: "Teacher He, please speak."

Everyone was obviously used to Xiao Lingzi speaking on behalf of the emperor, so they didn't pay attention. Instead, they focused their attention on He Jing. People from all parties had sparkling excitement in their eyes.

He Jing's eyes were a little bloodshot, and he obviously didn't sleep well last night. In response to this, his eyes widened, he raised his head and pointed directly at the empress above, and said with a look of dismay.

"I want to accuse the queen of lawlessness, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and cholera in the imperial court!"

As soon as these words came out, the court hall suddenly fell into silence, but the next moment, civil and military officials walked out of the team one after another and stood beside He Jing, crying heartbrokenly.

"I also want to sue the empress. As the saying goes, killing a life is a crime. The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even the empress cannot be so careless about human life and kill the daughter of a court official indiscriminately!"

Zhao Ranshuang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, shouted angrily and looked at Ji Junyue with murderous intent hidden in his eyes. It was obvious that he would not give up until Ji Junyue's skin was removed today.

"Your Majesty, although you have given the queen the right to control the country, it does not mean that the queen can kill innocent people indiscriminately. My daughter died unexpectedly just before she was born, but she died without a complete body. How much hatred does this require? Such a conscientious, cruel and ruthless person, my daughter has never offended the Queen, she just wants to serve the Emperor, is this wrong?"

Li Chongsheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said sadly, his eyes even filled with a layer of mist, and those who didn't know thought he had been wronged a lot.

Zhang Xingchu, the Minister of Justice, was even more impressive in his performance. He knelt on the ground and cried without tears.

"Your Majesty must make decisions for me and others. My daughter is only fifteen years old. She was still so young. She died tragically in the palace before she could get married and have a husband and raise children. There are still no bones left. I dreamed of Xiang'er last night. Come and complain to me about your injustice..."

Ji Junyue's lips curled up slightly, and she looked at the group of coquettish courtiers below. Their crying expressions were so sincere and heartbreaking that they were comparable to modern movie kings.

Qin Lanxue saw that Ji Junyue was looking at it with gusto, so she didn't bother her. Since these people were in a hurry to die, he just wanted to make it happen. They just lacked a reason to replace them. Since they were sent to his door, he would replace them all today.

Zhang Yinian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was standing in the queue, quietly raised his eyes to look at the indifferent emperor above him. When he touched the faint arc at the corners of the queen's lips, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He quickly lowered his eyes and raised his sleeves to wipe it. Beads of sweat on forehead.

Among the people who died yesterday was his daughter. Although she was just a concubine, her surname was Zhang. If the emperor pursued her, the entire Zhang family would not be able to kill her.

He was originally a member of Duke Pingguo's government. If the emperor hadn't suddenly appeared in his mansion one night before taking office, and used some weird magic to attract countless poisons to surround him, if he hadn't wisely chosen to join him, he would have been killed. I'm afraid that all that was left was the bones after being swallowed by those poisonous creatures.

You must know that the two young men beside him were eaten into bones by the poisonous creatures in front of his eyes. If it were not for fear, he would not temporarily switch sides and become a faction supporting the imperial power.

The night before, he had warned the daughters at home not to participate in the selection of palace concubines. Unexpectedly, the careless one dared to enter the harem with his wishful thinking.

Forget it if she dies now, it might bring down the whole Zhang family. If he had known, he might as well have strangled her to death while he was in the mansion!

Now, let alone joining the crusade against the Queen, he wished he could completely disappear from this hall, and never let the Queen think of his existence...

Just when Zhang Yinian was secretly panicking, Qin Yanghou slowly walked out and raised his hands to the empress above.

"Your Majesty, although my daughter is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Marquis of Qinyang. The daughter of the Marquis was slaughtered by the Queen for no reason. If the Emperor cannot give an explanation to the ministers today, I am afraid that the civil and military affairs will be in decline. The heart of hundreds of officials.”

Ji Junyue looked at the man who was speaking below. He was wearing a marquis official robe and had a slender figure. He looked extremely handsome, but he had an extremely beautiful and feminine face. If his skin color were not wheat-colored, it added a certain masculinity to that face. She looks just like a beautiful little lady!

Because he was too handsome, he looked no more than twenty-five or six, but Ji Junyue knew that this person, Qin Yanghou Xi Weiying, was thirty-eight this year.

Even though he looks like a woman, he is actually very skilled. When the late emperor was still alive, he defeated the barbarians and killed several barbarian leaders. He almost won all the battles, big and small, but never lost. He was considered a relatively famous person in the previous generation. General.

Since Qin Lanxue came to power and the three parties came into power, Qin Yanghou took refuge in the Pingguo Palace, and the military power in his hands was taken back by the Pingguo Palace, and he became an idle prince in name only.

Among the three people who bet with her in Juyuan yesterday, one was the legitimate son of Marquis Qin Yang. It was a pity that Marquis Qin Yang was famous for doting on his concubines and destroying his wives, so Xi Yao, his legitimate son, was worse than the son of a concubine. The concubine is favored.

The hall was full of noise, all filled with the sound of crusade. King Qing, Duke Wen and Duke Guo all stood aside and silently watched the good show they were fueling. The ministers of the imperial party also stood calmly in the teams on both sides. Don't persuade, don't speak out.

Because of this matter, they really didn't know what to say. Not joining in the crusade was already a sign of loyalty to His Majesty and a duty as a minister.

After all, to be honest, what the Empress did this time was indeed too outrageous. She was so cruel and ruthless when she took action. While they were shocked, they also felt a little chilled in their hearts.

One majesty is already frightening, and now there is an equally terrifying queen, who also has the right to control the country. The two together make it even more frightening.

The ministers who were talking about the crusade had become dry with their words. Then they suddenly realized that even though they had talked so much, no one above them had made any movement, so they finally calmed down and looked up at the dragon throne with full of suspicion. A pair of sitting emperors and empresses.

I saw that the noble and beautiful emperor did not even look at them from beginning to end. His eyes always stayed on the woman beside him, focused and gentle.

And the noble queen sitting next to the emperor on the dragon chair looked at them with interest with a pair of charming phoenix eyes. There was a faint smile on the corners of her lips. Somehow, it made a few people look at them. Seeing the sudden coldness in the soles of my feet, my heart skipped a beat, and a trace of uneasiness slowly spread...

"Finished?"

Ji Junyue looked at the ministers standing below with a smile, and the smile on her face was pleasant and evil. She was obviously smiling, but it gave people a sense of danger that a storm was about to come.

"Now that it's all said and done, let me tell you." Ji Junyue said slowly: "I did kill those fifteen women, so what?"

The nonchalant rhetorical question made everyone stunned. At the same time, the people who participated in the crusade, especially those whose daughter died at home, suddenly became angry, and their faces turned red, and they were about to crusade.

However, Ji Junyue did not give them a chance. After throwing out a rhetorical question, she only paused for a moment before continuing: "Being a minister means being a governor, eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor."

Ji Junyue calmly looked at the faces that were almost distorted by anger, with a cold look in her eyes: "The emperor once personally declared in front of the nine countries at the Nine Nations Alliance Meeting that as long as I and the Bones, anyone who enters the Qin Kingdom can Those in the harem need to turn into white bones.”

At this point, the evil smile on Ji Junyue's lips became cold and majestic, and her voice was so cold that everyone trembled.

"You are not joking. As the people of the Qin State, what you want is not to support the emperor. As the courtiers of the Qin State, what you want is not to solve the emperor's problems. Instead, when the emperor returns to the country, you push the emperor into the embarrassing situation of being unkind and unjust. What are your intentions in forcing the Emperor to become a weakling and a villain who speaks evil words!"

What is the intention!

What's the intention...

The last sentence suddenly exploded in the hall. As the echoes hit the ears, a powerful air of oppression enveloped the courtiers in the entire hall. The terrible pressure made everyone feel suffocated, and their faces immediately faded away. A layer of blood.

Each and every one of them felt as if they were being pressed down by a big stone, suffocating, trembling, and cold. The civil servants who had no martial arts skills were instantly shaken by the strong pressure, and their legs softened and they fell directly to the ground.

Although people with a foundation in martial arts can still stand with resistance, their trembling legs are constantly bumping like sieves, and they are cold and cold, looking extremely embarrassed.

Everyone looked up in horror at the woman sitting on the dragon chair above. She was dressed in a phoenix robe, full of nobility, and her graceful face was extremely cold and majestic. With just one glance, everyone felt like a god had come to the world. Feeling fear, he quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.

The eyes of King Qing, Wang Jixian, Huangfu Sheng and others also had a storm. No one expected that this woman could be so terrifying. The domineering coercion in her body overwhelmed everyone present without any resistance, and even Fear wells up from the depths of the soul.

This...this kind of terrible pressure has never appeared on the emperor...

What everyone didn't know at this time was that it wasn't that Qin Lanxue didn't have it, it was just that he had never used coercion to suppress courtiers, because in his eyes, there was no warning, only death. Anyone who was provocative or disobedient would not be left intact unless he died. No shortage of.

The coercion exuded by Ji Junyue, without any energy, suppressed them with the power of a king who had been honed for nearly twenty years.

The pressure of a born king is enough for ordinary people. If Ji Junyue uses the power of energy, it will be enough to tear everyone present into pieces.

For a moment, the entire hall fell into a deep silence. Everyone's eyes were filled with unconscious fear, and their teeth were chattering so hard that they couldn't even say a word, let alone a crusade.

Moreover, Ji Junyue's words contained a charge of trapping you in injustice, leaving them speechless.

In fact, if we really want to take it seriously, the Queen was not wrong in this matter. She was just carrying out the emperor's words.

And the difficulty of this matter is that when the emperor made such a declaration and promise, it was not just in Qin, but in front of the emperors of the nine countries. It was equivalent to announcing it to the world and making a promise in front of the nine countries.

They actually forgot about these golden words not long after the emperor returned home, and forced the queen to accept concubines for the emperor. This indeed fulfilled the queen's words and forced the emperor into a desperate situation where he broke his promise...

Suddenly, everyone involved in the crusade panicked. Before, they were only thinking about catching the Queen, but they forgot the crucial golden words. Now if the Queen uses this as an excuse to deal with them, it is completely justified...

A group of people, who had been enjoying the crusade before, were now so frightened. They all collapsed on the ground, their faces as pale as ghosts, and they no longer cared about the purpose of the previous discussion. They rolled and crawled on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"I was confused for a moment, and I hope that Your Majesty and the Queen will forgive me. The Queen did this entirely for Your Majesty. This was in compliance with the imperial edict. The fault was with those fifteen women. They were so bold and ambitious that they actually wanted to trap the Emperor into injustice. , You deserve it!"

After one of the courtiers who was adding fuel to the flames begged for mercy, the rest of the courtiers who were adding fuel to the flames also knelt down and begged for mercy. The ministers of the fifteen families who were seeking justice for the woman were so angry that they were furious and furious.

These bastards, even if they temporarily switch sides in order to survive, they actually push them out to die. This is simply living on their lives!

"You bastards!..."

Suddenly, the entire hall fell into a row of curses. A group of courtiers were arguing below, spitting flying, with red faces and thick necks. The look made everyone around them sweat profusely. I felt that if they didn't stop it, this group of people would I'm afraid there will be a group fight in front of the palace...

The people next to them quickly raised their eyes and glanced above. Seeing that the emperor and empress had calmed down again, pretending to be watching a good show, the emperor's party understood in their hearts, and the corners of their eyes twitched, and they all stood with their noses and noses attentively. next to.

Anyway, it was the emperor and empress who took the lead. In this case, if you want to watch the show, it will be in vain if you don’t watch it!

The King of Qing, Duke Wen, Duke Ping and others had previously removed all the traps and allowed only the party members below to move around, but they never expected that the final result would turn into this situation. Now when they see a group of people, they almost start fighting on the spot. , his face suddenly turned dark.

This Ji Yue is really too dark. She first crushes everyone with her momentum and forces out the fear in everyone's heart, then lets their gang members kill each other, and finally reaps the benefits. It's so evil!

Seeing that the people who were originally on the united front actually split into two groups and cursed each other, one group of people were like street shrews, and some even raised their feet to take off their shoes and hit people. The faces of Wen Guogong and others turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"That's enough!" Wang Jixian suddenly shouted angrily and pointed at a group of ministers who were intimidated by him: "Look at what you look like! This is the Fenghe Hall, not a market! You are the ministers of the DPRK. , you are not a street shrew! In front of His Majesty and the Queen, you have behaved inappropriately, why don’t you kneel down and admit your mistake!"

"That's right, if you still don't kneel down and admit your mistake, Your Majesty and the Queen are very magnanimous. Maybe they will spare you because of your serious repentance. But if you continue to be so unrepentant, let alone Your Majesty and the Queen, even the Duke of our country will be the first to do so. I won't spare any of you!" Huangfu Sheng stood up and said sternly.

What Wang Jixian and Huangfu Sheng said clearly meant that they wanted to minimize the big issue, but how could Qin Lanxue and Ji Junyue do as he wished.

Ji Junyue glanced at the King of Qing who had remained silent from beginning to end. He was wearing a white shirt and a blue robe. He was not wearing an official uniform. His temperament was as elegant as orchid, holy and elegant, as if he was untainted. Standing on this court, an outsider in this world is truly unique and becomes an extremely eye-catching and beautiful scenery.

Even in this situation, this person is still as calm as a mountain, which makes people have to look at him differently.

Ji Junyue narrowed her eyes slightly, with a dark look. If Wang Jixian and Huangfu Sheng were one ambitious and the other cunning, then the Qing King was the oriole dormant in the darkness, hiding too deeply.

After feeling confident, Ji Junyue turned to look at the group of ministers who had stopped fighting, smiled slowly, and asked, "You know you are wrong?"

At this time, even if they knew that the queen had bad intentions, even if they knew that this question was clearly a trap, everyone had to jump. Whether they answered yes or no, the initiative was still in Ji Yue's hand.

Wang Jixian and Huangfu's eyebrows twitched, and they already had a premonition that they were irreversible.

Although they were unwilling to give in, at this moment, facing this situation, the two of them were helpless. This was simply a dead end!

After everyone replied "I know" unwillingly and resignedly, Ji Junyue stopped talking and left the rest to Qin Lanxue.

Qin Lanxue spoke directly and neatly: "Qin Yanghou, He Taifu, Hubu Shangshu, Xingbu Shangshu, Xingbu Minister..."

After Qin Lanxue read the names of the fifteen women's fathers over and over again, she said: "As a minister, I do not worry about the king, but instead despise the imperial power, trap me in injustice, and disrespect the queen. I think you are already wrong. The death penalty can be avoided and the crime cannot be escaped. The Marquis of Qin Yang will be demoted one level, changed from marquis to uncle, and banned for half a year. The others will be reduced one level each and fined for one year."

"The Minister of Household Affairs is appointed by the Minister Wei Yuxiang, the Minister of Criminal Affairs is appointed by the Minister Li Xiao, and the left Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is vacant. The remaining six officials who participated in the crusade will be fined for one year, and each will be given twenty big boards."

When the ministers who participated in fueling the flames heard that they did not need to be demoted, they were relieved and kowtowed quickly, as if they were afraid that the emperor would regret it.

While the fifteen officials who were demoted breathed a sigh of relief, they all seemed to have lost their souls and looked as if they were dying.

Although they saved their lives, their official positions were demoted. The three people who were promoted were not the same people who were promoted by the emperor a year ago. They had been worried that the emperor would replace them with these people, so they were careful, but they didn't. Thinking that today I actually gave the opportunity to the emperor...

Wang Jixian and Huangfu had sullen expressions and did not say anything. What else could they say at this time? It seemed like imperial power, trapping the emperor in injustice, in serious terms, could lead to the annihilation of the entire clan.

Now the emperor just wants these people to be demoted one level each. It is a punishment that cannot be lighter. If they try to persuade them, they will undoubtedly get angry.

But this mild punishment is like cutting flesh off the body for several members of these parties!

The two ministers lost their power, which was equivalent to completely handing over the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Punishment to the emperor's hands.

Now, except for the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War, the other three departments have been completely swallowed up by the emperor's power. They really suffered heavy losses today!

King Qing's eyes were slightly lowered, making it difficult to see any emotion. His calm expression made Ji Junyue's lips flash with a hint of coldness.

After careful calculation today, the Wang family and the Huangfu family were the ones who suffered. Although the King of Qing did not gain anything, he did not lose anything, because among the fifteen ministers, none of them belonged to him.

Seeing that Qin Lanxue had finished dealing with it, Xiao Lingzi once again said to the silent civil and military officials below: "My lords, do you have anything else to say?"

After hearing the words, people from all political parties could no longer raise their emotions at all. They were as wilted as eggplants beaten by frost. However, Liang Xiaoyuan, the imperial censor of the right capital, stood up and knelt down respectfully. said out loud.

"I have something to report."

"Say." This time it was no longer Xiao Lingzi who spoke on his behalf, but Qin Lanxue herself.

Qin Lanxue will still give some preferential treatment to those he promotes, not to mention that Liang Xiaoyuan is a sensible person and will never talk nonsense in the court about matters that are not important.
