Chapter 643: Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!
"Don't ask her!"
"This world belongs to the Shen family."
"How can a woman like her be the emperor? Even if she is to be the emperor, it should be a man from the Shen family!"
"Chen Lanxi, blame yourself for being a woman."
"If the court is not happy with your fourth uncle ascending the throne, there are also Yuan Jing and Yuan Xu. They are all men who have made great military achievements. You, a woman, should abdicate and let others take over. Only men can be emperor!"
Old Madam Shen thought she had hit the nail on the head when it came to everyone's thoughts. Don't think that she doesn't know what's going on outside just because she stays in the mansion every day.
There are many men who are not convinced by Shen Lanxi.
She knew all too well what men were thinking. Whenever a woman was stronger than a man, she would be dragged down and none of them would have a good ending in the end.
"Chen Lanxi, please abdicate! In consideration of your victory, I will let my children and grandchildren treat you well!"
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and burst out laughing.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I cannot bear to hear such daydreamy talk any more."
"It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous."
"Mrs. Shen likes to dream so much, why not just stay on the couch and do it to your heart's content every day instead of coming out to make people laugh."
Liu Yanhui made sharp comments.
Old Madam Shen's face turned pale.
"Old Grand Tutor, Lord Liu, you are the elders of three dynasties. Tell me, from ancient times to the present, has there ever been a woman who became an emperor?"
"What do you think? Should Shen Lanxi give up the throne?"
Old Madam Shen was convinced that they had served in the court for many years and must have long been fed up with Shen Lanxi, a traitor.
No matter how good Shen Lanxi is at fighting, the court does not recognize her as a woman and no one listens to her. She can use her status as the old lady to let the son of the Shen family ascend the throne.
The two ministers who were named could not be said to be mocking Madam Shen, nor could they be said to be ridiculing her. Rather, they seemed to be suppressing their laughter, which really proved Liu Yanhui's statement that they had heard a joke.
"Old Madam, you have lived in the Shen Mansion for so long that you don't know what it looks like outside."
The weather outside had already changed.
They thought about it for a long time and felt that it was caused by the opening of the women's college, but then they thought that they had to move forward.
Your Majesty has been cautious and far-sighted in every step, and has been elevating the status of women since who knows when.
It is no longer a rare thing for women to serve as officials.
Your Majesty has broken the conventions step by step, and has already made people all over the world accept the fact that a woman can be an emperor.
It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone says something bad about His Majesty on the street now, he will either be beaten to death or crippled.
It was not the soldiers who beat people, but ordinary people.
The laws and regulations implemented by Your Majesty benefit the people, and the people naturally support Your Majesty. Every bite and every sip of your food has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just like the spring rain, which has silently nourished the people.
Ask them now?
How can they answer?
It is no exaggeration to say that if they show any disapproval of His Majesty, His Majesty will replace them the next moment.
Your Majesty has countless adopted sons and daughters, and many people are waiting for them to make mistakes, then bring them down and fill the vacancies.
"Mrs. Shen, don't you understand yet?"
"We had anticipated a scene like today when you led your men into the palace."
"The reason we didn't stop the resistance was because we didn't want to cause meaningless casualties."
"You led people into the palace, but did not pose the slightest threat to the court."
"We are all here to see how you mess around."
The three regent ministers were talking to each other, and among them, the old Grand Tutor and Liu Mingxin spoke the most.
"Old Madam, let me be frank. Do you think anyone can enter this palace?"
"Your Majesty left behind only the elite. Even we need a warrant to enter the palace every day. The Royal Guards only recognize warrants, not people."
Did the Shen family have a warrant? It would definitely be useless. If they did, would they have broken into the palace?
From this, we can get a glimpse of His Majesty's attitude towards the Shen family, but people's hearts are fickle. What if His Majesty changes his mind at that time?
No one dares to bet on this possibility. After all, they haven’t enjoyed enough of the good days now.
The more Madam Shen listened, the worse her expression became. She lost her balance and staggered back two steps.
No, she absolutely could not admit it. If she did, the whole family of the fourth brother would suffer a bad end.
"In that case, then there will be no change of emperor. Shen Lanxi will continue to be the emperor!" Old Madam Shen said in an ordering tone.
All the ministers felt that they had come to the right place today and watched wave after wave of excitement.
Why can't Madam Shen see the situation clearly?
Shen Lanxi only thinks that she has done everything well. She is filial, but filial piety also depends on people. She is very tolerant of her family, and the people in Beijing know it.
The current situation is the result of step-by-step retreat.
Even the most pedantic person could not find any fault with her.
After all, this is a revenge for the throne! Who in the world can tolerate this?
"Mrs. Shen and the entire family of Shen Congyi will be taken to the prison for further trial later!"
Old Madam Shen sat down on the ground again in shock.
No, she didn't dare.
"Shen Lanxi, you dare to touch me, I am your grandmother."
"If you dare to touch me, you will be considered disobedient and unfilial, and will be cursed by the world. Aren't you afraid of being criticized by thousands of people?"
There was no movement on Shen Lanxi's face, and her brows didn't even frown.
Old Madam Shen, Shen Congyi and others were quickly taken away. There was only one destination waiting for them, and that was the Heavenly Prison.
A small-scale attempt to force the emperor to abdicate ended up like this.
"Your Majesty, who are the members of the Shen family imprisoned in the palace?" How should they be dealt with?
Will people be angry about it?
Shen Lanxi: "Let them out of the palace."
As for whether he would return to the Shen family or go somewhere else after leaving the palace, he would naturally tell her.
The Shen family was guilty of treason. After Shen Congwen and others were released, they dared not move around freely. They hurried back to the Shen family and immediately ordered people to close the door.
"Brother, what about mother and the fourth brother?" After all, they are mother's brothers, and Shen Conglian doesn't want anything to happen to them.
Shen Congli snorted coldly: "The fourth child is doing this himself. If it weren't for him, how could mother come forward?"
In his heart, his mother is still the old woman who stays in the Buddhist temple every day to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Shen Congwen sighed: "We can't control the fourth child, and mother can't get into trouble."
"Mother is just a woman who knows nothing. If it weren't for the instigation of the fourth child, mother would never have stood up. Shen Lanxi... no matter what, that is her grandmother. If she dares to do something to her grandmother, even if we don't scold her, the literati in the world will not let her go."
"Is it true that the fourth brother can't be saved?" Shen Conglian asked again.
Shen Congwen shook his head: "I have no way. If you have a way, go ahead and do it!" He couldn't do anything now, and he was lucky enough to be able to save his mother.
How could the mother have such an idea? Maybe the third child was right, and she was bewitched by the fourth child.
