Chapter 210: The Fox Takes Advantage of the Tiger



After Censor Chen was dragged away, Su Juan ordered people to clean up. Soon, the hall returned to its original appearance, clean and tidy, and it looked like nothing had happened, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But many people present were frightened, especially Mei Ying, whose face turned pale, her hands tightly clenched the handkerchief, and her legs were shaking with fear.

Just for cursing Su Juan a few words, the emperor sentenced him to forty strokes of the cane. Even if he survived by chance, he would be paralyzed on one side of his body and his life would be ruined.

Thinking of what she had said in the palace that day, she looked at Liu Miaoqing suddenly, fearing that Liu Miaoqing would leak what she had said that day.

Feeling someone was looking at her, Liu Miaoqing looked over, but the moment their eyes met, Mei Ying turned her head away guiltily.

Xie Xun, who was standing by, curiously followed her line of sight and looked over. He happened to see Mei Ying and muttered, "I haven't heard that Su Juan has any relationship with the Mei family. Why did she invite someone here?"

This lady surnamed Mei has a close relationship with Prince Jing's Mansion. She wouldn't be trying to win them over, right?

After all, he was the Minister of Personnel of the current dynasty.

Liu Miaoqing frowned slightly. If he wasn't trying to win over Mei He, could it be that Ajuan wanted to attack him?

The old emperor and the empress sat at the main table. The people below were very respectful, especially the businessmen, who were extremely terrified. They never expected that they would come with a letter from the Su Mansion, hoping to establish a relationship with the princess, but end up meeting the emperor.

As the ruler of a country, he has an extraordinary bearing.

Su Juan then sat next to the queen. The queen comforted her with a few words and felt that her granddaughter had been wronged by what happened today.

If I lived in the palace and had my own protection, this wouldn't have happened.

The emperor on the side looked around, his eyes darkening, "You are now a princess of the dynasty. You have to open your own residence and find ways to solve any problems you encounter."

Today, this Censor Chen had clearly calculated the exact time for her arrival, waiting for the emperor to deal with her.

Su Juan smiled and agreed, "Grandfather is right, I will remember it."

The old emperor nodded slightly, and then he was satisfied.

I was so stupid. He was the imperial censor of the current dynasty. How could a mere fourth-rank official like me fight with him?

The court officials sighed, saying that at such a young age you are already a fourth-rank official. Even though Censor Chen is only a third-rank official, he cannot compare with you.

Don't I have to borrow your power as an emperor to bully others?

Someone coughed lightly. Princess Jinyang was really honest and spoke of the use so realistically.

The old emperor was not angry. It was actually a good thing that she could achieve this.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, everyone present was trembling with fear. Fortunately, they had not offended Su Juan, otherwise, they would have no chance of escape when the emperor came to settle the score.

Now that Censor Chen is here, how could they dare to say anything gossipy about Princess Jinyang?

Cai Yi looked at Su Juan several times, lowered his eyes and drank. He was able to take advantage of the situation, which was what a smart person did.

These censors relied on the emperor's tolerance towards those who gave advice to the emperor and the unwritten rule of not killing censors to impeach those who gave advice at will in the court. Since Su Juan was canonized as Princess Jinyang, there have been more and more rumors that her royal bloodline is not genuine, and most of them were led by these censors.

She naturally knew that it would do her no good to confront the censor directly, so she used the emperor's power to suppress him and make an example of him.

The emperor's favor can be given to anyone and can be taken back at any time. Now with the bloody example of Censor Chen, everyone in the world should know how important Princess Jinyang Su Juan is in the heart of the current emperor. Who else would dare to follow in her footsteps?

&t;div tentadv>The next day, Censor Chen was beaten with forty sticks at the Meridian Gate. He managed to survive the forty strokes, but after two days, his injuries worsened and he died.

The old emperor also took advantage of the situation to punish many people who had gossiped along with Censor Chen.

The news spread like wildfire. Everyone in the capital knew that Censor Chen, who had disrespected the princess, had been beaten to death at the emperor's order. Those who had said a few words were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be arrested and end up like Censor Chen, so they didn't even dare to leave the house.

Many officials were frightened and fell ill, and had to recuperate at home.

The emperor took the opportunity to hand over the control of the patrol battalion defending the capital to Su Juan. She was familiar with the affairs of the court, but she had little contact with military affairs.

As Duke Pingguo and others have said, if one wants to establish a princess as the crown princess and convince all the ministers, one must not miss any of the previous things.

He said in a deep voice: "If there is anything you don't understand, please ask Duke Ping. He understands all of this."

Su Juan had not expected that the old emperor would let her take over these things so quickly. It was much faster than she expected. "Granddaughter understands."

When King Han learned about this, he once again asked someone to deliver the message to Song Qianhang, but this time, he waited until after noon and did not see anyone.

Advisor: "Your Highness, Song Qianhang has a close relationship with Princess Jinyang. I'm afraid he won't be of any use to you."

"Now, the power to control the Beijing Patrol Camp has been handed over to her. His Majesty is clearly intending to appoint a princess as the Crown Princess. Your Majesty should make plans early."

Nowadays, Princess Jinyang is becoming more and more popular. According to his estimation, the enthronement of the Crown Princess will be finalized in a year at most or a few months at shortest.

King Han naturally understood the meaning of his adviser's words, "Sir, what do you think I should do next?"

Advisor: "I think that the prince can use Song Qianhang's life experience to expose the Pei family's conspiracy. Princess Jinyang has a close relationship with him and will definitely speak for him. This way, she can be discouraged."

They could also take the opportunity to accuse Prince Jing of harboring a traitor, killing two birds with one stone.

King Han's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was cold, "Not right!"

The counselor looked unhappy, "Your Majesty, if you want to accomplish great things, you must not be soft-hearted."

In his opinion, King Han holds a large number of troops in his hands. He can win over some court officials, accuse Princess Jinyang and King Jing of colluding with the rebels, take the opportunity to point his sword at the palace, and it will not be difficult to change the dynasty!

But the King of Han was soft-hearted time and time again, and he was concerned about this and that, and missed many good opportunities.

Since ancient times, which king came to the throne without sitting on the dragon throne by stepping on human bones?

The counselors tried to persuade the King of Han to make this decision.

King Han pursed his lips tightly, thought for a while, and waved his hand, "Not appropriate."

"Jinyang is my brother's only granddaughter, and Prince Jing is my brother. I know you are doing this for my own good, but these two are my blood relatives. How could I do such a thing to murder my blood relatives?"

What's more, Pei Lianshan was his brother who grew up with him. Now he only had one son alive. His action on that day was to contain Jinyang. He had no intention of harming his old friend's son.

He never believed the Pei family's crime of treason, so how could he use the Pei family's injustice to calculate these things!

In this case, what is the difference between me and those people?

Upon hearing this, the counselor's eyes darkened. The King of Han was indeed not someone who could accomplish great things.

"Your Majesty's heart, I respect it. Zizhan came here today, in fact, there is another matter."
