Not to mention how angry County Magistrate Yang was, Xia Daohua had actually forgotten about the imperial edict - although the edict was now placed in the storage area of the space supermarket along with the other things on the imperial envoy's body - in fact, she had no need to raise the flag of rebellion.
Just because the imperial envoy lost the imperial edict, he will not get any good results.
What's more, if his bad words and deeds were exposed to the emperor, he would be guilty for sure!
No matter how incompetent the emperor was, you, a mere official in charge of the selection, actually dared to take concubines on behalf of the emperor, harassing the locals, harming the people, and damaging the emperor's reputation, while benefiting yourself...
This is because he is afraid that the head on his neck is too strong!
County Magistrate Yang thought for a long time and finally submitted a letter of apology.
However, it was called an apology, but in reality it was an impeachment - he listed all the evil deeds of the imperial envoy in Jixiang County, deliberately using a sarcastic tone and being extremely sarcastic.
There is really nothing wrong with the text, but the reader will definitely feel like he has been severely stabbed in the lungs - based on his understanding of the emperor, even an emperor who makes many stupid decisions cannot tolerate someone losing face, corrupting his character, and tarnishing his reputation in this way.
However, contrary to County Magistrate Yang's expectations, the court's approval did not arrive until more than half a month later.
The Imperial Envoy's body had been ravaged by wild beasts in the mountains. Only half of his head remained, and his bones and flesh had been gnawed to pieces. When the hunters in the mountains found him, even his hands and feet were gone...
Lord Yang took one look at the miserable corpse and asked the imperial envoy's guards to identify the body. However, he refused to look at it a second time and only muttered in his heart:
Could something have happened in Beijing?
In fact, everything seemed normal in the capital, except that the emperor seemed to be making more and more stupid moves.
The emperor had refused to attend court for fifteen days. Several respected old ministers, along with a group of officials from the Censorate and some enthusiastic new scholars, had already run to the palace gate and knelt down.
But the emperor remained unmoved.
During these fifteen days, he only issued three edicts, but all of them urged local officials and imperial envoys to speed up the selection of concubines - the emperor said that his harem was full of old-fashioned people, which made him feel disgusted at the sight and he really couldn't eat them.
The beauties in the harem had never experienced such humiliation before. They were all heartbroken and burst into tears. The imperial medical office was running out of doctors to go around.
When this news got out, the whole court was in an uproar.
It is said that the emperor has always been diligent and caring for the people. Although his abilities are not particularly outstanding, his work attitude has always been dedicated.
It is unbelievable that he is so lazy that he doesn't even attend court.
Moreover, the emperor has always been an emperor who can listen to advice. All the officials went to kneel at the palace gate, but he could still remain indifferent?
There's something wrong with this situation...
Why has the emperor's temperament changed so drastically recently? Is he ill?
Many people even suspected that someone had forged the imperial edict and falsely conveyed it.
But after inviting a noble lady from the royal family and finding ways to pass a sign into the harem, they discovered that the emperor was fine except for being thinner, with a paler and gloomier complexion and a more weird temperament.
However, the emperor’s confidants have all been replaced.
The original eunuchs Wei, Gao, and Xu were all demoted for unknown reasons.
Eunuch Gao and Eunuch Xu are fine, as they are both people the emperor is used to using, and who knows if they will rise again one day.
Although they are in a bit of a bad state now, those villains who flatter the powerful and bully the weak and those who flatter the powerful will not dare to bully them until they are sure that they have no chance of recovery.
But it was different for Eunuch Wei, who had always been kept in the imperial presence.
Eunuch Wei must have offended the emperor severely!
Eunuch Wei was originally the emperor's confidant, and controlled a force similar to the Jinyi Yunqi. However, his combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Jinyi Yunqi, and his power was not as great as that of the Jinyi Yunqi. His only advantage was secrecy.
The emperor asked Jinyi Yunqi to do any work that was inconvenient for him to do.
Normally, such a person, even if he fell out of favor, would only end up dead, and would not suffer in such a disorganized way.
How long have you been with the emperor?
He used to be rosy-cheeked and full of energy, but now he has become a bag of bones!
Moreover, when it comes to offending people, among the three, Eunuch Wei offended the most people and in the widest range. But his biggest backer, the emperor, got so angry that he wanted to torture him piecemeal for fun, without even one person to plead for him.
No one could understand why the emperor treated Eunuch Wei like this.
Eunuch Wei knew it clearly in his mind - he was afraid that the current emperor was a fake.
However, he himself didn't believe what he said!
Eunuch Wei suffered for a long time before he met Gu Mingzhen and took the risk to spread the news.
I don't know if Gu Mingzhen will believe him...
Eunuch Wei didn't know that this Western emperor liked to torture a eunuch like himself every day because he knew that he had discovered the truth.
The most painful feeling is knowing that there is a butcher knife hanging over your head but never waiting for it to fall.
And, most importantly, Eunuch Wei didn't know who to trust or who to turn to for help...
There has been no news from Li Gan.
Both Eunuch Gao and Eunuch Xu fell out of favor and were sent to nursing homes.
None of the women in the harem are useful.
