She just needs to hold on to this old thing firmly, what else can she want?
If she could give birth to a son...
Wei Yaer suddenly felt something breaking in her heart, and there was an indescribable depth in her eyes.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Wei Yaer tugged at Emperor Wenyuan's sleeve and said, "How about I go back first? I can't let Your Majesty bear the reputation of a tyrant, and I don't want to be a witch concubine."
Having said that, Wei Yaer was about to stand up.
As soon as he left Wei Yaer, Emperor Wenyuan felt uncomfortable all over. He pulled her back, hugged her and said, "Sit down. I want to see who dares to call my beloved concubine a witch."
Emperor Wenyuan glanced at them and said, "Who among you dares to say that my beloved concubine is a demon concubine? Stand up."
Lord Li wanted to stand up, but was stopped by a minister beside him.
"Don't be impulsive."
Lord Li gritted his teeth and could only bear it with frustration.
The other ministers did the same at this time.
When Emperor Wenyuan saw this, he said in a cold voice, "Since you don't stand up, don't let me hear you talk about the evil concubine again, or I will confiscate your property and exterminate your clan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers all looked very ugly.
Listen, is this the words of a wise ruler?
Tyrant ruler!
The current emperor is really too incompetent.
But even the loyal ministers were concerned about their families at this time.
"Okay, let's dismiss the court if there's nothing else." Emperor Wenyuan was greedy for the beauty's body fragrance and was very impatient at this time.
"Your Majesty, military information from the west..."
"What military information, what disaster information? Just submit your memorials directly. I will deal with it when I have time. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I am tired at this hour." Emperor Wenyuan hugged Wei Yaer and stood up: "Let's adjourn the court!"
Eunuch Li could only shout to adjourn the court.
In this way, no important matters were dealt with at this morning court session, but instead the loyal ministers witnessed the "birth" of the tyrant emperor and his favorite concubine.
After the morning court session.
The ministers all shook their heads and left with grim expressions.
"My Lord, wait."
Just as Yang Tiejiang was about to step out of the hall, the voice of Lord Li came from behind him.
Li Gelao acted as if someone owed him eight million. With a sullen face, he quickly walked up to Yang Tiejiang and said, "My Lord, why didn't you advise the Emperor just now?"
Yang Tiejiang raised his eyebrows: "Why should I advise?"
Li Gelao couldn't believe his ears. "Marquis Zhenbei, everyone praises you for your unparalleled loyalty and bravery. Now, regarding such a major matter concerning the country, you are so indifferent?"
Yang Tiejiang smiled and said, "Lord Li, do you think that persuasion will be useful? The emperor has made up his mind now. If I force my way into it, I will only anger him and may even bring disaster to my family."
"And didn't the emperor just say that anyone who dares to stand out will have their property confiscated and their entire family exterminated?"
"you……"
Li Gelao's beard trembled with anger. "My Lord, how can you be so selfish and short-sighted? If everyone thought like you, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Am I selfish and short-sighted?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tiejiang cast a mocking glance at Li Gelao, and finally even glanced at the several elders standing with him. Then he said leisurely: "Li Gelao, since you think people shouldn't be so selfish and short-sighted, why don't you elders step out and give some advice?"
Several people's faces changed.
Li Gelao said angrily, "If what we have to say is useful, we would have stood up long ago. Why would we have to say it here with you?"
"Everything you, the experienced ones, say is useless, so what I, a rough guy, say is useful?"
Yang Tiejiang wasn't one to be tactful. He directly retorted, "You old men are quite shameless. Not only are you afraid of death, but you actually have the nerve to force me to lead the charge for you?"
"You're talking so high-soundingly in public. Aren't you just taking advantage of me because I'm a learned, uneducated guy who's easy to fool?"
"How can you say that?"
"How could we be such sinister people?"
"That's right, we just think that you are eloquent, just like yesterday. His Majesty will always listen to what you say, so we want you to go..." Another old man also wanted to argue.
Yang Tiejiang raised his hand to interrupt.
He said in a voice as loud as a bell, "No, don't flatter me. You all saw what happened just now. Whoever goes out will die. Don't act like the emperor will listen to me if I go out. This kind of talk will cause misunderstandings."
Lord Li was choked with anger.
Although he had previously thought Yang Tiejiang was crude and uneducated, and spoke bluntly, his strength lay in his straightforward and honest nature, with a pure heart. But now, listening to Yang Tiejiang's words, Li Ge Lao felt that he had been blind and had misjudged him.
"I thought you, Marquis Zhenbei, were a loyal and brave man. Although you are a crude man, you have a pure heart. But now it seems that you are nothing but a coward."
Yang Tiejiang was not happy to hear this.
In particular, there were many ministers standing around, all listening and watching him with their ears perked up.
"Hey, Lord Li, you need to explain clearly. What do you mean by 'I'm afraid of death'? Does that mean I'm afraid of death if I don't stand up and let Your Majesty confiscate my property and exterminate my clan? Does that mean I'm not loyal and brave if I survive?"
"Who gave you the face to say such things?"
Yang Tiejiang was a rough man to begin with. He rolled up his sleeves and raised his voice: "You old man, I really want to have a good talk with you today. What exactly did you mean by what you said just now..."
One look at Yang Tiejiang's actions.
The ministers who were watching hurried forward and pulled Li Gelao and several other elders to stop them, saying, "Calm down. We are all doing this for His Majesty. Don't get angry."
"Yes, Lord Li, please don't worry. We will take a long-term view and find a good solution."
Some people also advised Yang Tiejiang: "Lord, calm down. Elder Li and the others are only worried about His Majesty and have no other intentions."
"Everyone calm down."
Lord Li snorted coldly and walked away.
Naturally, the other old men were so angry that they left in anger.
Yang Tiejiang watched the retreating figures of Li Gelao and the others, a speechless expression on his unshaven face. Under the persuasion of the other ministers, he also snorted and flicked his sleeves: "Everyone knows how to flick their sleeves. Humph, I'll flick them too."
Yang Tiejiang also learned to walk away in anger.
The ministers who stayed behind looked at Yang Tiejiang and exchanged glances, their expressions speechless.
"This Zhenbei Marquis...is also going to be useless."
"Don't you think he's changed since the Marquis of Zhenbei handed over his military power? Although he still seems straightforward, he seems to be much more flexible. He's also become very talkative. He flatters His Majesty with all sorts of flattery. He's completely lost his original loyalty and uprightness."
After these words were spoken, many ministers nodded.
