"It's true. This Zhenbei Marquis has really changed."
"Wealth dazzles the eyes, gold foil tempts the heart. Even if the Marquis of Zhenbei was truly loyal and brave in the past, he has now been completely corrupted and turned into a treacherous villain. Did you see his face yesterday? He was completely like a treacherous minister."
"From now on, the court...will probably never have peace."
"Oh! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have asked him to hand over his military power. It would have been much better to let him continue to stay on the frontier."
"Who said it wasn't? What a pity!"
"Don't talk about him. Didn't you notice that several adults are missing today?"
"Who is it?"
"Those from the Censorate, Mr. Song, Mr. Zhong, and Mr. Jiang."
"Indeed, those old gentlemen are the pillars of the Censorate. In the past, it was fine if they didn't show up, but now they show up as if they are ready to die for their crimes. Aren't they here today? I really didn't notice them just now."
"It seems that he really didn't come..."
"What's going on? Why didn't they show up for such an important morning court? I was wondering why only Lord Li showed up this morning. It turns out the other elders didn't show up."
"Come on, let's go visit them and see what's going on."
Someone made a suggestion and everyone naturally agreed.
Left the palace.
Several groups of adults traveled together and went to the residences of the three old masters separately. However, the result was that all three old masters fell ill, and their faces were so pale that they looked like they were about to die.
Doctors from the capital were invited in batches.
No one gets better.
In the end, one couldn't help but wonder whether the three old men were pretending to be sick on purpose.
But in fact, the three old men were indeed sick.
After he came back from kneeling that day, he fell ill. His illness was very severe. The doctors shook their heads when they came, which made all the family members cry and start preparing for the funeral.
Of course.
None of this caused any stir.
On the contrary, because the pillars of the Censorate fell ill, there were few fearless people in the court who were willing to die for their advice in the following days, which made Emperor Wenyuan more and more absurd.
Just take Wei Yaer to the morning court.
In the end, he even regarded the court as a place to have fun with beauties, and all the ministers became his companions.
But it was only a little over a month.
The court was in a mess.
During this period, loyal ministers who could not help but give advice were either beaten or exiled.
At the same time, some sycophants who specialized in flattering the emperor began to emerge.
"Your Majesty, the poem you and the Empress just composed is truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring. It is simply a masterpiece that will be remembered forever!" The flattering voice of Lord Xu, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, rang out in the court.
After hearing this, Emperor Wenyuan's face was full of pride, and Wei Yaer in his arms laughed sweetly.
And those loyal ministers all looked solemn at this moment.
If the court continues like this, the country will really be on the verge of collapse.
"His Majesty."
At this moment, another loyal minister stood up and said, "I want to give you some advice..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Wenyuan: "I am in a good mood, please don't disturb me. Come, take this person who wants to give advice away and give him ten strokes of the cane."
Before the gentleman could finish his words, he was dragged away by the guards.
The ministers in the court were all angry but dared not say a word, and watched helplessly as the general was dragged away.
After a while.
From outside, there were screams of being beaten with a stick.
"Your Majesty, please wake up! If this continues, the country will be ruined and our dynasty will be in an irretrievable situation..." Another old minister knelt down and cried loudly.
"Pull it down, pull it down."
Another one was pulled down.
Upon seeing this, Lord Xu immediately smiled and flattered, "Your Majesty is wise. For disturbing your pleasure, you only punish me with ten strokes of the cane. This shows your majesty's mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler throughout history."
A series of alternative flattering voices were heard.
Emperor Wenyuan was delighted by the flattery and waved his hand, "Alright, you guys are becoming more and more pleasing to my eyes. Li Qing, give me your reward."
Eunuch Li seemed to have been prepared and directly asked someone to carry out a box of gold.
The moment it is opened, it shines with golden light.
All the ministers in the court saw it and shook their heads.
When Lord Xu and his companions saw this, their eyes lit up a little, and they smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Emperor Wenyuan proudly hugged Wei Yaer and kissed her, then stood up and said, "Alright, it's getting late, and I'm tired. Let's dismiss the court."
And just at this moment.
A majestic female voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty."
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound.
Princess Yuchang, dressed in a light yellow long dress, was seen walking quickly in from outside the palace.
"Royal sister? Why are you here?"
Emperor Wenyuan frowned and looked at Princess Yuchang.
"Your Majesty, I am here to give you advice."
Princess Yuchang said this and walked to the center of the hall and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, you have been acting too absurdly these days. If I do not persuade you, I am afraid that after my death I will be ashamed to face my father, the ancestors of our Mohist school, and even more ashamed to face the people of this world."
Emperor Wenyuan frowned and said unhappily, "Imperial sister, are you here to lecture me too?"
Princess Yuchang said, "Your Majesty, I am not here to lecture you. I am here today, ready to risk my life to help Your Majesty wake up!"
"Imperial sister, are you threatening me?"
Princess Yu raised her head, her gaze firm and fearless. "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a nation, you should prioritize the country and the people. Right now, the court is in chaos, loyal officials are suppressed, treacherous officials are in power, and the border war is tense, yet you are here indulging in wine and women. How can you win the hearts of the people?"
"you……"
Wei Yaer said coquettishly, "Princess, your words are too harsh. Your Majesty was just having fun."
Princess Yu Chang glared at Wei Yaer: "You evil concubine, you have deceived His Majesty and brought chaos to the court. Your crime is unforgivable!"
When Wei Yaer heard this, she huddled into Emperor Wenyuan's arms and said, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Wenyuan hugged her tightly with heartache, frowned and scolded: "Imperial sister, if you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between brother and sister!"
Princess Yu Chang said sadly: "Your Majesty, if you still persist in your wrongdoing, this country is in danger and our Mo Dynasty will perish!"
"How dare you, Princess! Don't take advantage of me to treat you..."
"His Majesty!"
Princess Yuchang interrupted Emperor Wenyuan with a sad face, tears in her eyes: "I... am willing to die in order to advise you!"
After saying that, Princess Yuchang bumped into the stone pillar beside her.
Everyone exclaimed.
"Princess, no..."
However, at this moment, a figure flashed by faster and kicked out...
"Princess!"
Nanny Hua, who had rushed to the stone pillar first, intending to block it for Princess Yu, just watched her master fly out in front of her and hit the wall behind her hard.
"puff!"
