Chapter 300: The title of tyrant cannot be shaken off
Today, I will leave the court.
All the ministers waited in the Fengtian Hall for a long time before Eunuch Yu came and announced this.
Everyone was somewhat puzzled, because since Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he had never exempted his ministers from attending court on the first and fifteenth days of each month. Even if he did not attend court on weekdays, he would summon the ministers to the Imperial Study or Wuying Palace early to explain government affairs.
His diligence is obvious to all.
But today, on the day when he was supposed to attend court, he actually adjourned the court.
However, as everyone was discussing it, they began to understand that there was an epidemic in the harem, and everyone had heard that the emperor had imprisoned all the palace maids in the harem and tortured them severely.
Some ministers had originally planned to write a letter to stop this matter today, but they did not expect that the emperor would refuse to attend court at all.
He Yi didn't speak to anyone and turned to walk out, but as soon as he went down the stairs, he was stopped by Ye Zheng.
"You have to find a way!"
In one sentence, it was thrown hard in his face.
He Yi looked at Ye Zheng with a gloomy face. He could tell that he had not slept all night and his eyes were bloodshot.
He said, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Zheng said anxiously, "Don't pretend you don't know. The harem has appeared with the art of warding off evil. Although the previous dynasty didn't know about this, you have great magical powers, so you must know."
“…”
"Now, all the palace maids are imprisoned. Over a hundred of them died last night!"
“…”
"He Yi, if you don't find a solution, all these people will die!"
“…”
He Yi looked at him silently for a while, then said, "Why are you so anxious?"
“…”
"Is there anyone important among these palace maids?"
Ye Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Sinan Yan is also among them."
He Yi frowned slightly.
"She's here too?"
"Of course, she also lived in the palace, and before this incident, the emperor thought she wanted to... In short, the emperor was angry with her."
“…”
"So this time all the palace maids were thrown into prison, and she was among them."
“…”
"However, I'm not just concerned about her. Heyi, this time, more than 3,000 palace maids were imprisoned together. If all of them really died, do you know how future generations would comment on the emperor?"
“…”
"He will never be able to shake off the title of tyrant in his lifetime!"
It was already winter and the weather was cold, but when Ye Zheng said these words, his forehead was covered with sweat.
He was extremely anxious.
He Yi looked at him like this, and was silent for a long time, then said: "However, this is the emperor's will."
“…”
"You are so anxious, you must really care about these people's lives and the emperor's reputation, so you must have thought of many ways."
“…”
"However, since these methods don't work, do you think there is anything I can do?"
Ye Zheng was stunned.
But he immediately said, "I don't care. He Yi, you have always been by his side. It was you who told him, when he was still the Prince of Yan, that you would give him a white hat. You instigated him to ascend the throne."
“…”
"These things are your responsibility!"
As Ye Zheng said this, he started to act arrogantly, blocking He Yi with one hand, as if he would not let him go unless he came up with a solution.
However, He Yi was not angry.
A faint expression, like a smile, passed across his usually calm face.
He said, "Ye Zheng, do you remember what I said after you came back from Yongzhou?"
