thank you + extra

Li Wen knelt down, and there were several nervous voices "Tingwei!"

Li Wen closed his eyes, finally kowtowed heavily, and said loudly, "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's grace!"

His majesty made a mistake on his own will, but if he disobeyed, his majesty's next edict would be difficult to carry out, and the aspect would fall into Sun Ciqing's hands.More than ten years ago, he was the first among the ministers to stand beside His Majesty. Ten years later, he would not be able to betray the Lord.That being the case, it's easy to make mistakes.

This order also shows the position.

Liu Zao's palms were covered with sweat, and his throat seemed to be blocked by a stone.There was a big general who gave a performance, and even if Li Wen resisted the imperial edict, no one dared to say that he was wrong, and people all over the world would praise him for being a courtier, but he accepted it and stood by her side.

Liu Zao said for a long while, "Disappear."

The ministers who understood what Xiang Xie meant by his resignation naturally understood, but those who were slower were still confused, not knowing why Xiang Xie resigned suddenly.

In just half an hour, a confrontation in the palace settled down.

The general pre-empted the attack, united with the ministers, and remonstrated with the emperor.The joint name of more than a hundred people, and the group of ministers playing together to invite the Empress Dowager to abolish the King of Changyi was nothing more than this momentum.

The emperor took Xie Xiang's resignation as a boulder, and threw it into the pool of lake in the court hall, causing a stormy wave, and regained the attention of the officials, and then led the dispute to the affiliation of the phase.

Li Wen stood in line, and the aspect returned to the emperor's hand. At this time, the general raised the original remonstrance again, and the effect of the initial thunderous blow was lost.The emperor had so many reasons to be perfunctory.

Liu Zao looked around the hall through the shining twelve corners, stood up, and wanted to leave the hall.

The sound of knees hitting the ground came from the hall, and Sun Ciqing's voice echoed endlessly in the hall.

"Your Majesty, please resign from the position of General!"

Liu Zao stopped and looked towards the hall.

Sun Ciqing prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly, "There are courtiers in the court, and the ministers cannot be clear, and they have failed the holy grace, and they dare not be shameless in the temple. Please resign from the position of general!"

After the voice fell, one after another, the officials followed.

But familiar, most of the people in the hall knelt down, and all the ministers shouted in unison, loud and powerful, "Please resign, I hope Your Majesty will approve."

They were not necessarily persuaded by the general, nor were they necessarily the party and the general. The reason why they resigned and forced the emperor was because the queen could not be established.

Chapter 124

Liu Zao had already stood up and was about to go, her body was facing the hall, when she heard that the officials were forcing her, she stopped, turned her head sideways, and looked into the hall.

Immediately, a minister took offense and shouted loudly: "Sun Ciqing, you are so courageous, how dare you threaten the Lord!"

Sun Ciqing fell to the ground and said nothing, and some of his party members choked back: "You have a guilty conscience, could it be that you are the sycophant in the mouth of the general!"

Another minister raised his voice to retort from the other end of the hall: "There is a holy master in the world, and the world is clear. Above the court, how can there be a courtier!"

For a while, the hall refuted each other, and the smoke filled the air.

Liu Zao can't let these many ministers resign. The resignation of the ministers, not to mention that there is no one in the court, and the various government offices cannot be turned around. At least Xie Yi's reputation cannot be preserved. He will only criticize Xie Xiang for bewitching the Sacred Heart, making the monarchs and ministers centrifugal, and crowding out all officials.People in the world will not recognize a queen who has no virtue, and it will be even more difficult to promote the establishment of a queen.

The officials knew this, so they were unscrupulous. The kneeling ministers were magnificent, and gradually forced the standing ones to have nothing to say.

Liu Zao put her hand on the hilt of her sword, she turned her head and glanced at Hu Ao, who bowed and quietly exited the hall.

"Who is the courtier?" the emperor asked.

The minister who jumped the most just now said: "The minister is..."

There was a sudden silence in the hall, the minister woke up, stopped talking suddenly, and looked up.The emperor's eyes were terribly gloomy after the crown.The minister was kneeling. Seeing this, his heart turned cold, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Liu Zao walked down the steps slowly.

Most of the many ministers kneeling on the ground lowered their heads, as if they were afraid that the emperor would see his face and settle accounts in the future, but the rest of them were tall and straight, showing a mighty and indomitable posture.

Liu Zao walked up to them and asked again: "Who is the courtier?"

No one dared to speak.

From the beginning to the end, the emperor did not personally say that he wanted to thank the Prime Minister.Although everyone knew it well, none of them dared to say the word Xie Yi. Saying it would be a complete rift with the emperor, and it would be hard to undo it.

Sun Ciqing also had concerns, so he didn't dare to say Xie Yi, pointed the finger at Li Wen, and said in a calm voice: "Li Wen is a courtier." He wanted to drag Li Wen off the phase and make the phase vacant, and all parties will compete again.

Li Wen was impeached and knelt down as usual, wanting to plead guilty and defend himself.As soon as he knelt down, Liu Zao said: "Oh, Li Wen is a courtier." She looked around the hall, raised her voice, her voice was low and cold as if ice had been quenched: "All your lovers also think Li Wen is a courtier?"

There was a silence in the hall like a tomb, and then there were voices of seconding in twos and threes, seconding the general.

Liu Zao looked down at the minister closest to her feet, and said, "Then tell me, where is Li Wenzuo, and why did he become a courtier?"

The minister was trembling, tried his best to stabilize his voice, and said: "The Lord has done something wrong, Li Wen can't remonstrate, even..."

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.The ministers were startled and turned their heads to look around.

Dozens of palace guards, armed with armor and holding halberds, rushed into the main hall from both sides of the gate in two teams, and surrounded all the officials. Outside the hall, hundreds of soldiers stood in layers.

For a moment, the hall was full of spears and halberds, and everyone had a butcher's knife on their heads, making people terrified.

Liu Zao drew his sword, put it on the minister's neck, and asked solemnly: "And what? Aiqing is impeaching my favorite prime minister, but please make it clear!"

Since the establishment of the Han dynasty, no emperor has ever personally killed a minister in the palace. Once the emperor does it, it will be preserved for thousands of years.But the piercing chill on the emperor's body made people believe that she would really attack.

"Chen, minister..." The minister trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty is coercing each other with soldiers..." Seeing that the situation is not good, Sun Ciqing said anxiously.Liu Zao was furious and shouted, "I didn't ask you!"

Sun Ciqing blushed immediately and was speechless.The minister under the sword was startled, he felt that the blade was trembling, and would cut his neck at any moment.His body went limp, he lay on the ground, and he argued with a trembling voice: "The minister made a mistake, Ting, Ting Wei... are not sycophants."

Liu Zao smiled, his voice softened, and fell into the ears of the officials, but it was like a hissing poisonous snake wrapped around his body, ready to bite at any time.Liu Zao asked again: "Since there are no courtiers, why did Ai Qing resign?"

The minister was even more frightened, and said: "I will not resign, I will not resign."

Liu Zao withdrew her sword, but did not sheath it. She held it in her hand and walked two steps forward. Wherever she passed, the ministers gave way one after another.The soldiers outside the hall are like stone statues, the sun shines in from behind them, and the shadows are cast on the ground, covering the figures of the officials.

Liu Zao pointed his sword at Zongzheng's forehead, and asked, "Qing wants to resign?"

Zongzheng fell silent.

Liu Zao looked at the rest again, and asked again, "Who is asking to resign?"

For a long while, no one answered.

Liu Zao sneered.The officials almost put their heads on the ground.

The sword hit the ground, and the dull sound of bronze hitting the floor hit the hearts of the officials, and the officials trembled.Sun Ciqing had a gloomy face, both angry and frightened.

Liu Zao said, "Scatter the dynasty."

This time, no one dared to stop her.

Walking out of the hall, the bright sunlight shone, dispelling the darkness in the hall.

Liu Zao stopped at the bottom of the steps.She stopped suddenly, and Hu Ao who was following behind almost bumped into her.

"You don't need to let Prime Minister Xie know about the matter in the palace," Liu Zao said.

She had previously ordered that everything should be reported and thanked, so that she would not have to wait for a long time to worry.But now he said that he should not let Xiang Xie know what happened just now.Hu Ao replied respectfully, "No."

Shengjia moved forward again.

After taking two steps, the emperor stopped again.She remembered that Prime Minister Xie might have other channels to know about the court proceedings.In this way, cutting off the news on her side made her even more worried.

"Go to Penglai." Liu Zao ordered.

Penglai Island is not far away, if you go there on the same day, you can return on the same day.

It was not yet noon.Liu Zao hurried there in a palace chariot. It was just past noon when he boarded the boat.

Sitting in the boat, she bowed her head in deep thought, thinking deeply.

In the first half of the month, the weather was cold, and the Taiye Pool was frozen, so the boats would not be able to travel.Just be quick.She seemed to be walking steadily step by step, but in fact, after waiting for so many years, she didn't want to waste any more time.

"Your Majesty, we've arrived in Penglai." Hu Ao said warmly when he entered the room.

Liu Zao stood up, remembering that Li Wen had suffered an innocent disaster and needed to be appeased, so he told Hu Ao: "You go to Tingwei's mansion and tell him not to take today's matter to heart. He deserves the position of prime minister. No one else can do it except him."
