Great court meeting
Lin Yushu sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the court officials below.
"Your Majesty, your servants respectfully wish you the best of health. Long live the Emperor!"
Lin Yushu noticed that some ministers were not kneeling, and they even stood upright, as if they were protesting something in this way.
Lin Yushu's lips curled up slightly. She remembered these people. She was the most vindictive. Just like now, even if Chen Ze gave in, when would she forgive him?
At this moment, she looked at Shen Ze who was kneeling below her. If he didn't speak up at this time, should she speak up herself?
Shen Ze immediately noticed Lin Yushu's eyes and understood what Lin Yushu meant in an instant.
After all, Lin Yushu’s meaning is easy to understand.
He stood up and glanced around, his heart filled with anger. This was an insult to his Majesty!
Seeing Chen Ze frown, the officials, led by Prime Minister Qi, all shrank back. After all, being hated by Chen Ze was not a good thing.
But when he looked at Prime Minister Qi standing upright in front of him, his heart instantly calmed down. What nine thousand years old? Who knows, after today, there may not be such a nine thousand years old!
Chen Ze looked over and of course knew what they were thinking. A cold look flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, why don't you kneel? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Of course Shen Ze knew that they were going to rebel, but at this moment, he wanted to intimidate those ministers who were just fence-sitters.
After all, this matter involves too many things. If all of them are dealt with, how many people will His Majesty have left at his disposal?
So he wants to minimize this range.
No one moved. A hint of cruelty flashed in Shen Ze's eyes. He remembered these people. He would personally avenge His Majesty for the insult they had inflicted on him today.
Lin Yushu was not angry, and even laughed out loud: "Everyone is dissatisfied with me. Well, I will give you a chance today, you can speak freely."
Lin Yushu even took the teacup handed to him by Wang Mingyi with great interest, his eyes very gentle.
Shen Ze knew that His Majesty was really angry.
He remembered that in that world, the emperor had died, the young emperor was still young, and the kings had rebelled.
His Majesty personally took up his sword and killed the three princes, which greatly boosted the morale of the imperial guards and put down the rebellion.
You have to know that at that time, Your Highness was just a princess who grew up in the emperor's palm, and she had never even lifted a sword before.
At that time, His Highness smiled so gently.
Prime Minister Qi took a step to the left and stood in the center of the hall. "Reporting to Your Highness, Princess, I recently dreamed of the late emperor. He told me that someone in the palace was causing cholera throughout the country."
Lin Yushu raised her eyes and looked at Prime Minister Qi. Was he using the original owner's dead father to suppress her?
It has no effect on the original owner or on her!
If it were any other emperor, he would probably be afraid, but the one sitting here now is her. As an emperor, she has always been criticized, so she is not afraid of adding another charge.
Lin Yushu put down his teacup and looked at Prime Minister Qi with interest: "Oh? Prime Minister Qi, tell me, did the late emperor tell you who is causing this cholera?"
Prime Minister Qi looked at Lin Yushu. He was already very bold, looking directly into the emperor's face, intending to rebel, but even if he told him at this moment, he would not care.
After all, Lin Yushu was just a puppet of Shen Ze in their eyes, and the people behind them gave them enough confidence.
Prime Minister Qi looked at Lin Yushu. Why was the little emperor different today?
How could the little emperor have the courage to speak in the court on normal days?
Although he felt something was not quite right, he knew that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.
Prime Minister Qi clasped his fists, bowed slightly to the sky to his left, and said, "I dreamt of the late emperor. I dared not neglect my duty, so I consulted the Imperial Astronomical Observatory for divination. They gave me a maxim: A hen crows at dawn, and disaster befell the state. Your Highness, please abdicate."
Prime Minister Qi looked at Lin Yushu. He didn't have any other thoughts at the moment. Since the little emperor had been raised in the cold palace since he was a child and was treated as a puppet by Chen Ze, he had no intention of killing him.
Lin Yushu chuckled and stood up, a glint in his eyes: "When a hen crows at dawn, disaster befalls the country? Prime Minister Qi is talking about me, isn't he?"
She slowly walked in front of Prime Minister Qi, and looking at his old face, she seemed to remember those old ministers from the past.
Even though she had saved the throne, they would rather support the young emperor and his young son than support themselves to ascend the throne.
It also gave the little emperor the opportunity to alienate her and Shen Ze, which ultimately led to that result.
Lin Yushu chuckled, but his eyes slowly turned murderous: "What Prime Minister Qi said is quite interesting. The throne was not given to me by the late emperor, so he can't take it away now."
Prime Minister Qi's old eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Lin Yushu. He had thought that the little emperor, a puppet at that, being a woman, would want to be a pampered princess and then find a husband to marry.
Lin Yushu saw through his thoughts and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Prime Minister Qi bowed slightly to Lin Yushu and said, "Your Highness, this is unacceptable. The late emperor is your father. You should be respectful. How can you be so disrespectful?"
Prime Minister Qi looked at Lin Yushu as if he were looking at an ignorant child.
Lin Yushu slowly took off a golden hairpin from her head. She looked at Prime Minister Qi and said, "I know that you look down on me as an emperor. You think I am a woman and unworthy of the throne. You think I am a puppet held up by Shen Ze. You all look down on me."
She gently adjusted her clothes, put on a gentle smile, and the golden hairpin flew out of her hand, instantly piercing Prime Minister Qi's throat.
Prime Minister Qi's body fell down and hit the people behind him. The ministers behind him did not expect Lin Yushu to kill people so decisively, and they were frightened and retreated one after another.
Shen Ze was startled and looked at Lin Yushu. He took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Lin Yushu, slightly bending his waist and back: "Your servant is incompetent and has made Your Majesty do such rough work. You deserve to die."
Lin Yushu glanced at him, ignored him, took the handkerchief from his hand, and slowly wiped his hands: "Prime Minister Qi attempted treason and failed, his crime should be put to death. Do you want to follow him and make mistakes? If you still refuse to change, I will not tolerate it!"
As soon as Lin Yushu said this, the retreating ministers fell silent. Some of them knelt down and said, "We are guilty!"
There were still some who refused to obey and stood in place, looking unyielding. Chief among them was Master Liu.
Taifu Liu looked at Lin Yushu, and he already knew in his heart that the little emperor in front of him was not a good person at all. Then he looked at the respectful Chen Ze, and thought that maybe she had deliberately let them know about the puppet emperor.
