Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Chapter 49 Seeking to see the Princess

Yan Donghuang arrived at the front yard and heard a loud noise coming from outside the house from a distance.

Wu Yangyang, the ministers headed by Prime Minister Pei, crowded outside the gate, as if they were paying homage to all the civil and military officials in the morning. They were all filled with righteous indignation, and the formation was huge and crowded.

"I am waiting to see the eldest princess. Please come out and see her!"

"I would like to see the eldest princess. Please come out and see the eldest princess!"

Yan Donghuang paused slightly and turned his head to look at Feng Yaoguang: "Are they planning to deal with me the same way they dealt with the emperor?"

"Probably." Feng Yaoguang's expression was subtle and somewhat mocking, "After all, those old men in the court are best at admonishing to death."

Especially those old stubborns who think they are loyal but are actually pedantic. Among them, the censors are the most impassioned and righteous words, but in fact they are already rotten and full of male thieves and female prostitutes.

Yan Donghuang's eyes turned cold and he walked out.

The guards on both sides knelt on one knee and performed military salutes in unison.

Yan Donghuang, who was in military uniform, stepped out of the gate and looked at the dozen ministers gathered outside the palace. His eyes were cold and powerful. Wherever he looked, even the veterans who had been standing in the court for decades were looking at him. I couldn't help but shudder.

"I see you, Your Highness, the eldest princess." Prime Minister Pei took the lead in saluting, with a respectful and calm attitude. "I came here uninvited. It is due to special circumstances. I hope that the eldest princess will forgive me."

Yan Donghuang looked worried: "Everyone, please go back."

"Elder Princess, I must contribute to the cause of the Yong Kingdom." The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel said in a fierce tone, "Deploying troops without permission is considered to be treason. Please withdraw your troops immediately, Princess!"

"The eldest princess please put your family, country and country first." A royal censor had a tough attitude and said indignantly, "The Duke of Zhenguo has ulterior motives and should be dealt with by the emperor according to the law! As the commander of the Qingluan Army and the eldest princess of the Yong Kingdom, the eldest princess has no right to He has the right to imprison the powerful without permission, and he has no right to execute them without permission, or even decide their life or death!”

"Eldest Princess, the officers and soldiers of the Qingluan Army protect our family and the country. They are all loyal people. Eldest Princess should never let them be involved in the crime of rebellion. Please, Eldest Princess, withdraw your troops immediately!"

"Your Highness, Princess, please think of the overall situation and the country and the country!"

Yan Donghuang stood in front of the stone steps without saying a word, looking at these hypocritical people in front of him, his eyebrows cold and sarcastic: "If I don't listen to you, what will happen to you all?"

Yan Yushi said sternly: "Elder Princess, rebellion is a serious crime and is not tolerated in the world!"

The Minister of Rites sighed and advised in a gentle voice: "The eldest princess is the daughter of the late emperor. The late emperor has a spirit in heaven. I don't know how sad it would be to see such a scene. I wonder if the eldest princess can consider the overall situation and sit down and talk to you." Your Majesty, if we have a good talk, maybe we can clear up the misunderstanding?"

The old general who had fought on the battlefield was heartbroken: "Once the Yong Kingdom is in civil strife, foreign enemies will take the opportunity to invade. When the time comes, the Yong Kingdom will be attacked from both sides, and the Yong Kingdom will be in serious trouble!"

"Please Princess, please withdraw your troops."

"Please Princess, please withdraw your troops."

More than a dozen important ministers knelt down one after another, and all asked Yan Donghuang to withdraw his troops, half praying and half applying pressure. It was quite like Yan Donghuang would kneel down if he disagreed.

Yan Donghuang looked at them calmly, the temperature in his eyes condensed: "You are all righteous people. You cannot empathize with what I have experienced. I don't blame you."

"The eldest princess..."

Yan Donghuang's voice was cold: "It's just that I was poisoned and murdered by the most trusted person. This is a fact. It didn't happen to you. You all think that I should focus on the overall situation. In this case, I can give you a choose."

When several important ministers heard this, they thought that Yan Donghuang had relaxed so quickly. They suddenly became energetic and looked at her with hope.

"If you are willing to bring your wives, children, and children to me, and you will personally take their lives one by one, I may believe that you are really thinking about the country and the country."

The expressions of the civil and military officials changed, and they looked at her in confusion: "Elder Princess, this... this, this, how is this possible?"

The Minister of Civil Affairs frowned: "Who would attack his own children?"

Prime Minister Pei was puzzled: "Elder Princess..."

"Under normal circumstances, no one would be so cruel as to attack their own relatives, but the current situation is special." Yan Donghuang narrowed his eyes and casually flicked his robe sleeves, "You are doing it for the country, the country, and the people of the world. If you act like this today, The family members persuaded me to withdraw the troops, which will definitely leave a mark in the history books in the future."

Pei Shangshu understood what she meant.

Yan Donghuang has determined that the poisoning incident is related to the emperor, and she is the biggest victim in the poisoning incident. Perhaps at that moment, life and death are no longer the biggest pain.

The most unacceptable thing is the betrayal and calculation of loved ones.

"The eldest princess." Prime Minister Pei stepped forward and saluted Yan Donghuang, "I don't know the full cause of the incident, but the eldest princess is a hero of the Yong Kingdom and the most valued daughter of the late emperor. Over the years, your highness has protected the family and the country. She fought on the battlefield and made great contributions. All civil and military officials in the dynasty admired the eldest princess for her wisdom and military skills. The wedding was poisoned, which was beyond the expectations of the ministers. I did not dare to reprimand the eldest princess for what she did. I only hoped that the eldest princess would be able to do it. Thinking about the country, the country, and the people of Yong, don’t—”

"This is a matter between me and the emperor, and it will not involve the people of Yong Kingdom." Yan Donghuang interrupted him with a calm tone, "I also know the character of the Prime Minister, so no matter what happens in the next few days, Whatever happens, Prime Minister, please just close the mansion and ignore what is happening outside. I can guarantee that the Pei family is safe."

Prime Minister Pei frowned and looked at Yan Donghuang seriously: "Is the eldest princess going to watch the homeland she has worked so hard to protect fall into civil strife because of a misunderstanding?"

Yan Donghuang asked, "What if this is not a misunderstanding?"

Prime Minister Pei was startled.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you believe in Yan Ming so much and think that he will not do anything like burning bridges?" Yan Donghuang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and the smile did not reach his eyes, "Yan Ming is the king recommended by me in front of my father, but I Now I admit that I am blind and cannot recognize people well. Prime Minister Pei is a veteran of two dynasties and should be able to see a person's nature more clearly than I."

Prime Minister Pei lowered his eyes and was speechless.

"The decision I made cannot be changed." Yan Donghuang said indifferently, "Let them all go back. This is an account between me and Yan Ming, and no innocent people will be implicated."

"Then the Chu family——"

"The Chu family is not innocent." Yan Donghuang interrupted, "Last March, the planned food supply was deliberately delayed by the Minister of Chu, causing the Qingluan Army to fall into a food shortage dilemma. For two months, the soldiers were starved of food. , dug wild vegetables, ate tree bark, and ate everything that was available around us... If it weren't for the merchants who came to help in times of need and urgently prepared a batch of food and grass, I can't estimate how many people from the Qingluan Army would have returned today. "

Yan Donghuang's posture was upright, and his slender body seemed to contain great power: "Prime Minister Pei, if the silver taken from the Chu family's warehouse is converted into grain, it will be enough to pay the Qingluan Army's 200,000 soldiers and horses for two years. and food.”

Sufficient livelihood for 200,000 people.

The Chu family lived a life of luxury and wealth, completely forgetting that the soldiers who defended their homes and country at the borders risked their lives, and even having enough to eat was a luxury.
