Chapter 551: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 162
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. It had only been less than a month, and previously they had been clamoring for the Queen Mother to stop interfering in government affairs, but now they had changed their tune and were asking the Queen Mother to come to their rescue. It was really embarrassing.
"Why don't we kneel down at the gate of Canglong Palace and beg for mercy? God is merciful, and your majesty has killed too many people, which is not a good thing after all."
Tu Guangjun felt that the Queen was just too nice to these idiots!
When he was disobedient at the beginning, the Empress threatened him with real swords and guns, and almost made him exterminate his descendants. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, in order to reduce unrest and restore people's livelihood as soon as possible, the officials in Luojing city have hardly moved. These people think they can control the emperor and empress. It's ridiculous.
Your Majesty has killed so many people, and these fools actually think they can negotiate with Your Majesty.
Some smart people have already found excuses to leave, not wanting to get involved in this mess. Duke Yue is dead, Grand Tutor Jiang has resigned, and the six ministries are almost empty. They don't want to go to Canglong Palace to commit suicide.
The rest of the people went to Canglong Palace in a mighty manner. Before they could even open their mouths to cry for advice, the dragon guards arrived and started to drive them away without saying a word.
This route was a dead end, and after Tu Guangjun's passionate persuasion, everyone felt that asking the queen for help was indeed a good idea, so they changed their route to Yunfeng Palace.
The guards at Yunfeng Palace were tighter than those at Canglong Palace, but the dragon guards intentionally let them off, allowing these people to break into the outside of Yunfeng Palace and fall to their knees.
Tu Guangjun said loudly: "Your Highness, please advise Your Majesty..."
With someone taking the lead, the remaining officials each showed off their strengths and spoke eloquently, but unfortunately the Empress did not show up at all.
It was not until dusk that a little girl slowly walked out surrounded by the crowd. The girl was not tall, and was dressed in a bright yellow palace dress that was gorgeous and eye-catching. She had a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin on her hair. Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and flamboyant, and she was quite imposing at a young age.
Tu Guangjun seemed to see a miniature version of the Empress, and immediately bowed down, saying loudly: "Your Highness, Princess, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Everyone saw the legendary princess for the first time. She was the only child of the current Majesty. Unfortunately, she was only a princess. If she was a prince, given how much Majesty loved the Queen, she would definitely be the future crown prince.
Everyone followed suit and bowed. Lin Anlan raised her hand and said dissatisfiedly, "You all can go away. The Queen Mother needs to take care of the baby and won't see any guests."
Someone knelt two steps forward and said loudly, "We are also doing this for the country. Your Majesty is too absurd and has killed innocent people. As the mother of a country, the Queen should advise you. Please don't be angry and put the overall situation first."
Lin Anlan was filled with anger!
Although she was happy that her mother was free to accompany her, these people teamed up to bully her mother, which was so hateful. She felt that what her father did was absolutely right, and it would be so peaceful if she killed them!
But her mother asked her to calm down and not be too angry. Lin Anlan took a deep breath and said coldly: "You keep saying that you are doing this for the country, but I would like to ask you ministers, what have you done for the people?"
"My mother was framed by Emperor You of Jin and exiled to Lingnan. She was in deep trouble, but she still had righteousness in her heart. She drove away the Bulu bandits, built ports, developed grain varieties, and benefited the people. She returned to Luojing after escaping death. Before she could even sit on the throne, you drove her out of the Golden Palace!"
"My mother has worked so hard for so many years, it's time for her to take a good rest. Come, drag them all away, don't disturb my mother's peace."
The eldest princess was so filial that she drove away all the officials who came to plead for mercy and never let them see the queen's golden face.
Tu Guangjun and the officials knelt for three days in a row, requesting and refusing three times. They watched as the emperor became more and more unscrupulous, killing people with loud drums and gongs, and his momentum was like a rainbow. He even got to the point of holding a sword and chopping people directly in the court.
"Very good! The Ministry of War is getting more and more powerful now, and its hands have even reached the northern border. What? Do you think I am a fool and cannot tell the quality of ironware? A slight error can lead to a great difference. You cut corners. Over the years, if the soldiers in the northern border have not died at the hands of the Di people, they will be killed by you parasites!"
"You are just a small minister, temporarily taking over the position of Shangshu. You are quite brave, but I wonder if you are strong enough?"
Lin Yuan held the sword and placed it on the neck of the Minister of War from above. The blade cut his neck and blood gushed out.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War was already stunned, he just made a small change, there was no visible difference at all on the outside, the Ministry of War originally didn't have much money, but now with the manufacture of weapons and ships, there was some room for maneuver, he didn't expect that His Majesty would check it so carefully.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Ironworks often suffer from damage, and I did not embezzle any of it..."
Lin Yuan sneered, his eyes flashing with ferocity, "I think this is not the first time you have done this. Don't try to argue with me. Go to the underground and explain to the Northern Territory soldiers who died in vain. See if they will listen."
There were people kneeling on the ground in the Golden Throne Hall, all of them with pale faces, not daring to breathe.
No one dared to plead for mercy. If His Majesty killed a few more people in anger, they would have nowhere to complain.
"The Queen is here~"
Ji Yunhuan was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, and followed by a group of female officials. He entered the Golden Palace in a grand manner.
All the ministers in the court shouted in unison as if they had seen a savior, "Long live the Queen!"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw down his sword and greeted Ji Yun, "Huan'er, you are finally here! They chased you away, and they thought I was alone, so they just wanted to fool me. Yesterday it was the Ministry of Justice, and today it was the Ministry of War, and they took turns to make trouble for me. You came at the right time, the Ministry of War investigation gave me a headache, so I'll leave it to Huan'er."
The ministers who were kneeling on the ground were almost going crazy. The emperor was really good at confusing right and wrong. How could they dare to make trouble for the emperor? It was obvious that the emperor had dealt with the Ministry of Justice yesterday and the Ministry of War today, with rivers of blood flowing.
Ji Yunhuan held the emperor's hand, and the emperor and empress sat on the high throne hand in hand.
"A Yuan, you have worked hard. First, put this man in jail. After we have sorted out the affairs of the Ministry of War, we can decide whether to kill him or chop him up."
Lin Yuan's eyes were almost glued to Ji Yunhuan, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to the Queen."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War was dragged away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. According to the Queen's style of doing things, as long as they admitted their guilt with a good attitude and paid more of the stolen money, they would most likely be able to save their lives.
The emperor was powerful, so these civil servants spontaneously formed a camp. They put aside past grudges and the most important thing now was to save their lives in the hands of the emperor.
From then on, the emperor and empress ruled together, and no one dared to raise any objections. Female officials gradually appeared in the Golden Palace. A year later, Lin Yuan issued an imperial decree to all states, appointing the eldest princess Lin Anlan as the crown princess, who would inherit the throne in the future.
The court was in an uproar again.
Lin Yuan stared at the shouting officials with great interest, sharpening his knife and glaring at them, "Why can't my daughter be the emperor? Don't bring up the old rules of the previous dynasty. This is the new dynasty, the Yun Kingdom. My dear minister, you like the old rules so much, do you want to restore the country?"
"A new dynasty, a new atmosphere. The kingdom I fought so hard to conquer must obey me! If anyone says anything more, don't blame me for being rude!"
