Chapter 365: Only the best and the most consistent
The appearance of Eunuch Shang interrupted the quarrel between several people.
"Everyone, please come in."
He has reported the whole matter to the emperor.
In the imperial study, Emperor Xu was sitting on the dragon throne. When he heard the noise, he raised his eyes full of anger and looked at the few people. The imperial concubine and her daughter were kneeling on the ground, crying pitifully. Jiusu was allowed not to kneel, and there was another person.
He is the prince of another country.
"Prince Yuwen is so majestic!"
Yu Wenjie was embarrassed but refused to bow his head. With a meaningful smile on his face, he clasped his fists and bowed, "Emperor Xu, please calm down. I couldn't help myself when I broke into the palace at night. It was because Emperor Xu's princess was so beautiful and charming that she attracted everyone's attention."
But in front of my father, I was treated like a prostitute.
Xu Jincai lowered his head and was already feeling like dying.
"You, you bastard..." Concubine Yin's face was covered with tears and anger, but this was the imperial study, so she could only suppress her voice, "Asshole."
Jiusu took a deep breath. She was disgusted by Yuwen Jie's flirting with Xu Jincai. She asked, "Was it Crown Prince Yuwen's doing to break into the palace at night and humiliate the princess, or was it Emperor Yuwen's order?"
They want to escalate the situation into a national confrontation.
Yu Wenjie's eyes lit up.
What a smart woman, I like her more and more.
"It's God's will, a red thread tied by heaven." He bowed deeply to Emperor Xu. "To be honest, I've been poisoned with a love poison since I was a child, and my needs are always unsatisfied. I'm very sorry for the pain I've caused the princess."
Emperor Xu sneered, "I don't need a light apology."
Yu Wenjie lifted his robe and knelt on the ground. "I accidentally hurt the princess. I am willing to marry her and repay the land I once occupied from the Xu Kingdom. I also make an additional promise: if I become the emperor of the Kingdom of Heaven, then the princess will be the empress."
Emperor Xu was very surprised. He would agree just to return the land.
Plus, Jin Cai will become the queen...
I have to say, this is full of sincerity.
He raised his eyes and said, "Jin Cai, Prince Yuwen really likes you. Would you like to marry into the Kingdom of Heaven?"
Xu Jincai crawled over and kowtowed on the steps, her forehead flushed red. She begged anxiously, "Father, Father, please don't marry me off to him. He bullied me..."
"Golden color!" Xu Huang shouted.
The hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
Concubine Yin said helplessly, "Your Majesty, Jin Cai will not be happy if she marries him."
Emperor Xu frowned, clearly angry.
He said calmly, "Happiness? As my princess, she enjoys wealth and fame. So what if she sacrifices her happiness for the country and the people? She used to be the queen, not a maid. What's there to be unhappy about? Jin Cai, don't let me down."
Xu Jincai knelt with his head lowered, staring at the ground with empty eyes, without saying a word.
After a while.
There was another wave of pressure from above.
"Xu Jincai, I have no patience. If you want your mother to live well in the palace, then do it quickly."
Xu Jincai moved: "Your son knows..."
Jiusu's eyes flickered as he looked up at the king who was sitting above him with a majestic and cold look.
"There is one thing I don't understand."
The sudden words made the hall silent for a long time.
They all looked at her.
All the looks of surprise, confusion and worry were focused on her.
Jiusu is fearless and stands straight.
Just look, as long as you don’t do anything wrong, you’re not afraid of people looking at you.
Emperor Xu tried to speak in a gentle tone and said, "What's the problem, my Lord Jiu?"
Jiusu asked softly, "A murderer killed someone and wanted to buy the body for one ounce of silver. His family agreed. I don't understand why the murderer wanted to buy the body."
Emperor Xu said without hesitation, "Of course, it was to abuse the corpse and admire the fruits of their crime."
"What about Yu Wenjie marrying Princess Jin Cai?"
"Of course it's because..."
Suddenly, Emperor Xu's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.
"Jiusu! Who gave you the courage!?"
Jiusu raised his head and looked at the wall behind the emperor, and said calmly, "It's the plaque behind you."
Everyone looked over.
The plaque was engraved with the four large characters "Yun Zhi Jue Zhong" and plated with gold. The divine color was striking Emperor Xu's eyes in circles.
Emperor Xu seemed to be in a deep sea from which he could not escape.
Jiusu's voice was clear and calm: "The Book of History says, 'The human heart is dangerous, the heart of Tao is subtle. Only by being meticulous and single-minded, and sincerely adhering to the middle way, can we govern the country well.'"
"I think it is not right to sacrifice the princess's happiness and freedom for a little profit."
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Concubine Yin tightly grasped her handkerchief. She thought Jiusu was crazy, but she looked at the emperor expectantly.
Xu Huang came back to his senses and frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Jiusu bowed and gave the emperor a way out.
She said, "Your Majesty is usually busy with government affairs. You may not understand the little girl's feelings. If you send Princess Jincai to marry, it may really be like going to heaven. At that time, what will Xu State and other countries say about Your Majesty? Please think twice."
After hearing the translation, Yu Wenjie said hurriedly: "The Xu Kingdom will definitely praise the emperor's peace-loving heart."
Jiusu clenched his fists: "The people of Xu will only feel cowardly. Sacrificing the princess in exchange for peace is not the future everyone longs for. They would rather fight!"
Fight? The corners of Emperor Xu's mouth curled up slightly.
He stood up, walked to the main hall, bent down to help Xu Jincai up, and said distressedly: "I ignored your feelings for a moment, you won't blame your father, right?"
"Father." Xu Jincai felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He lowered his head to feel his father's great 'fatherly love'. "How dare your son blame you?"
Emperor Xu handed Xu Jincai over to the Imperial Concubine, then looked at Yu Wenjie fiercely, "You broke into the palace at night, humiliated the princess, and even attempted to destroy my reputation. This is simply unforgivable. I will write a letter to Heaven, demanding an explanation!"
At this time, Yu Wenjie sneered.
"Could it be that Emperor Xu wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Heaven?"
Seeing that he showed no remorse, Emperor Xu shook his head and warned him, "Young man, I know you're good at pretending, but you're too impatient. I'm telling you the truth. If Emperor Yuwen doesn't give me reasonable compensation, I'll go get it myself!"
The implication is to invade the kingdom of heaven.
Get this statement back in person.
Yu Wenjie was extremely panicked. He clenched his fists and said, "Emperor Xu, why use force when we can resolve this peacefully?"
Emperor Xu said coldly, "If you truly wanted to marry Jin Cai, I would agree. But you resorted to such despicable tactics. It's disgusting!"
Yu Wenjie said anxiously.
"I've already explained to you that I've been poisoned since I was a child..."
"I'm tired of hearing these excuses." Emperor Xu closed his eyes and groaned, "If you were truly poisoned, you should have kept more women with you. Or, if you had told me, I would have arranged for some beauties for you. But you didn't, and you even framed my Concubine Chun."
He almost got cuckolded.
It was also at this moment that Emperor Xu secretly decided in his heart that if any concubine had an affair with another man in the future, he would definitely tear her into pieces!
Yu Wenjie breathed quickly and said, "It's her bad luck. She chose to come here because of all the bad roads she took. I have no choice but to let her die with her beloved guards. It's better than following you, the old emperor!"
Jiusu raised an eyebrow.
Well, this is a complete fall out.
