After Murong Yan left, Lin Cenyi and Madam Lin came to Danruo's yard and confirmed with her again and again that she must not marry into the palace in order to protect her family. If she didn't want to, the emperor couldn't force her.
Dan Ruo nodded again and again, saying that he was willing.
Lin Cenyi still didn't believe it, so Dan Ruo could only find different ways to praise Murong Yan. Lin Cenyi became even more depressed when he heard it, because girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up.
But the dowry had to be prepared. This time she was marrying the emperor, so the standards were naturally much higher than before.
Mrs. Lin pulled Lin Cenyi and started to get busy.
On the other side in the court, Murong Yan ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding of the queen, and everything must be of the highest standard.
All the civil and military officials in the court shook their heads when they heard the choice of the new queen.
They attacked the new queen's status as a second bride, and each of them thought their own daughters were better than the new queen.
The Marquis of Cheng'an even came forward to reveal that the new queen had fallen into the water, which was harmful to her offspring.
This was what Ji Shan had said to his son in person before. He was not the kind of person who would spread gossip among women, but today it was indeed about establishing a queen, and he had to fight for the possibility for his daughter.
No matter how the ministers objected, Murong Yan remained firm.
The ministers wanted to find Lin Cenyi and ask him to be more sensible and push the matter off.
As a result, Lin Cenyi took a leave of absence for about ten days.
Then they could only fight to the death. Just as they finished their heroic words of fighting to the death, before they could even hit the pillar, they saw Murong Yan holding a knife to their necks.
"Since you, my dear ministers, are forcing me to this extent, I must go down and tell the late emperor how you have driven me to death."
"But don't worry. After I die, I will force all nine of my clansmen to be buried with me. Then you can go down and explain everything to me in front of the late emperor."
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that the emperor would use their tricks, and they all knelt on the ground, saying that they dared not do it.
Seeing this, Murong Yan said, "What are you afraid of? You don't let me marry a queen, you just want to force me to death."
The ministers cried out that it was injustice. Murong Yan pushed the knife in a little, and blood came out and flowed down the knife.
Dehai shouted: "Quickly find the imperial physician, the emperor is bleeding."
When the ministers saw that the emperor was serious, they were all scared. That was the neck. If the emperor died, all nine of their clans would be buried with him. One person took the lead, and the others followed.
"I beg the Emperor to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family as his queen."
"I beg the Emperor to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family as his queen."
"I beg the Emperor to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family as his queen."
Murong Yan threw away the knife and covered the wound on his neck with his hand. "It was you who asked me to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family as my queen?"
Everyone quickly responded in unison.
Murong Yan looked at the historian and ordered, "Record this: the eldest daughter of the Lin family is both virtuous and talented, gentle and virtuous, well-versed in etiquette and law, and a role model for all other women. In the twelfth year of Yongzhao, all the ministers unanimously recommended her as empress."
Then he looked at the ministers and said sinisterly, "If your statements to the public differ from what the historians have recorded, then I will have no choice but to banish you from the history books."
The ministers could only agree as they saw the blood staining Murong Yan's clothes.
Then he begged the emperor to see the imperial physician immediately.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, all the officials returned home with the same story, not daring to reveal anything different.
Murong Yan returned to the back hall and removed his hands from his neck without even breaking the skin.
This was a magic trick he had seen when he was a teenager and roaming around the world.
As long as you prepare the props and motivation, it will be no problem to fool these ministers.
Who could have thought that the emperor could perform magic tricks?
