The Left Prime Minister lowered his head and dared not speak.
The former crown prince was an enemy who had tried to kill the current emperor several times, and his daughter was also a prisoner of the emperor. However, the Si family was the empress dowager's family, and the family of the emperor's uncle who had always been valued.
Now that the Crown Prince's daughter has become enemies with the Si family, he doesn't even need to think about who the Emperor will protect.
So he didn't dare to tell this matter at all, and even threatened the Si family to shut up and not cause trouble.
He planned to wait for a while until the Si family settled down, then let the former crown prince's daughter "die of illness" in the woodshed. He then secretly sent the little girl thousands of miles away, letting her live out her life in an ordinary way.
But today the emperor spoke frankly and decided to punish the Si family. He felt that the time had come and he could use the daughter of the former crown prince to test whether the emperor had really decided to change his temper.
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with relief.
At least for now, it seems that the emperor's temper has indeed calmed down a lot. Even when he secretly protected the daughter of the former crown prince, the emperor did not vent his anger on her.
If this had happened half a year ago, the emperor would have been furious and accused him of being a former minister of the former crown prince.
"Today's morning court session ends here—"
Feng Changye glanced at the Left Prime Minister, who looked very pleased. He didn't want to bother with the old guy. He looked at the Minister of Dali Temple.
"Lord Qin, I will assign two hundred imperial guards to accompany you. Arrest all the offenders in the Si family and bring them to prison. Once all the evidence is collected, we will interrogate them."
The Dali Temple Minister quickly responded.
Feng Changye looked at the other ministers again.
"If you, my dear ministers, wish to report someone, please write it down in a memorial. Tomorrow at court, I will have Xiao Yuanzi collect all the memorials. I promise that only I will read your memorials; they will not pass through anyone else's hands. Therefore, you may speak freely."
The ministers responded respectfully.
They lowered their heads, each with a different expression.
Should they take advantage of the moment when the emperor is being frank with them and immediately present the facts in their hands to the emperor to win his favor, or should they wait and see?
What if the emperor is still the irritable emperor, and what they write in the memorial is too outrageous, and the emperor takes his anger out on them?
Feng Changye didn't care what they thought. He just said he would adjourn the court and left.
Looking at his back, Zhu Huaining, the left and right prime ministers, and the six ministers were all very pleased, their eyes red with joy.
Especially Zhu Huaining.
He was right not to kill the king out of personal vendetta.
After almost accidentally killing their Zhu family, their emperor truly gained enlightenment and repented. He began to show signs of being a wise ruler.
How rare and precious it is to be able to openly admit one's character flaws and mistakes in the court in front of all the civil and military officials, and to take the ministers to the Taimiao to reflect on one's mistakes in front of the ancestors.
He glanced back at the other ministers.
He took in the glint in some of the ministers' eyes and curled his lips.
Look, how happy these ministers are! They will surely start to trust the emperor slowly in the future. Until they become his trusted confidants and work wholeheartedly with him to govern the country. They will no longer hide everything from the emperor and only care about protecting themselves as they did in the past.
“That’s great!”
Zhu Huaining and the left and right prime ministers looked at each other and smiled.
The left and right prime ministers bowed in thanks, "It's all thanks to you, Duke Zhenguo! It was your loyalty to Daning that made the emperor see the dangers of his suspicion, made him realize the shortcomings of his character, and finally enlightened him!"
Zhu Huaining waved his hand to decline and walked out of the court with several important officials.
Looking at the tomorrow hanging high in the sky, he felt extremely happy.
I hope the emperor can continue like this and be a wise ruler.
This way we won't let down the loyalty of the Zhu family.
…
After dismissing the court, Feng Changye quietly ran to his main hall to deal with memorials, and did not dare to go to the side hall to see Zhu Wuhuan.
The current queen is too scary. Whenever they meet, she will definitely scare him in her heart, or make him laugh. He is afraid that he can't withstand it, so he has to hide.
Side hall.
Zhu Wuhuan slept until around nine o'clock in the morning before getting up. She slowly drank the nutritious porridge specially prepared for her and her child by the imperial physician.
Even after finishing the drink, Feng Changye still didn't show up.
She asked Suqiu, "Has the Emperor not retired yet?"
Su Qiu replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been out of court for an hour and is currently reviewing memorials in the main hall."
Zhu Wuhuan narrowed his eyes slightly in vigilance.
She was now in a special stage of suspicion towards Feng Changye. Seeing that he did not come to see her as usual, she immediately became suspicious.
Is that guy avoiding her?
She was just about to ask Suqiu to pack the nutritious porridge in a lunch box and follow her to the main hall to meet Feng Changye when she heard Suqiu talk about something.
"Your Majesty, this servant has discovered that you and the little prince and princess are truly sent by God to warm the Emperor."
Suqiu held her face and looked at Zhu Wuhuan happily.
"Ever since the Emperor set his heart on you, Your Majesty, he has changed a lot. Now that we have a little prince and princess, the Emperor is even more kind!"
Zhu Wuhuan curled his lips into a smile.
She knew that Feng Changye had changed a lot for her and the child, so she didn't refute.
She tapped Suqiu's eyebrows. "Why did you suddenly think of talking about this? Did the Emperor do anything in the court today that you thought was particularly kind?"
Su Qiu nodded, her eyes sparkling as she whispered, "Your Majesty, do you know that because of the evil deeds done by Si Quan, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department, the Emperor intends to uproot the Si family, whose arrogance and domineering behavior have caused unbearable suffering to the people?"
She looked at Zhu Wuhuan's belly and chuckled, "Now the rumor is spreading in the palace. The emperor must be thinking about becoming a father himself. That's why he cares so much about the people of the world and is willing to sacrifice his own family to protect his people!"
When Zhu Wuhuan heard this, he was stunned.
Feng Changye said in the court today that he wanted to take action against the Si family?
She suddenly remembered the talk he said in his sleep last night when he was drunk...
He said he would not let the Prince of Jin go, nor would he let the Queen Mother go...
Could it be that he had a nightmare again last night, and he once again remembered what the ghost told him: the Queen Mother and Prince Jin would join forces to harm him, and this hatred prompted him to take action against the Si family in the court today?
That……
Wasn't he acting to deceive her last night?
Suqiu continued speaking.
"And, Your Majesty, before, I couldn't believe that the Emperor would be so kind to the former Crown Prince's children. But today in the court, when the Left Prime Minister mentioned that the former Crown Prince's daughter had committed a crime, the Emperor not only didn't use this as an excuse to execute the former Crown Prince's daughter, he even laughed! He even had the former Crown Prince's daughter brought to him so he could see her for himself..."
When Zhu Wuhuan heard the daughter of the former crown prince, he was stunned for a moment, then he slapped his forehead!
She only remembered those famous generals and had forgotten about the daughter of the former crown prince!
This brave and courageous young girl seemed to have died during this period!
She remembered that when Feng Changye went to the Zhu family to pay tribute to the heroes, this eleven-year-old girl went to assassinate him. Feng Changye didn't know the girl's identity and just thought she was an assassin, so he personally twisted the girl's neck.
Afterwards, the identity of the little girl was revealed, and Feng Changye, who had twisted the neck of his eleven-year-old niece with his own hands, further solidified his reputation as a tyrant.
“Oh no!”
Zhu Wuhuan was suddenly frightened and stood up suddenly!
The tyrant actually wanted to bring the little girl who was going to assassinate him to him. Doesn't that give her the opportunity to assassinate him?
No, she has to rush to the main hall immediately!
