"Foolish! Absurd!"
"The Crown Prince neglects state affairs, allowing villains to run rampant!"
"The Kingdom of Liang is in grave danger! The Kingdom of Liang is in grave danger!"
"Even if I die, I will become a vengeful ghost and seek revenge on you!"
The Imperial Guards were verbally abused, but dared not retaliate.
All I could do was sternly and roughly shove them forward.
As for those stubborn old ministers who were forcibly removed from their residences, their expressions were even more radical.
Zhang Huaizhong, the Minister of Personnel, is over seventy years old.
Upon hearing that the General of the State intended to exile him to a desolate mountain, he immediately burst into tears and swore an oath to the heavens.
"This old minister receives the emperor's salary and must serve the emperor faithfully!"
"Your Majesty has treated me well. Although the Crown Prince is young, he is still Your Majesty's flesh and blood!"
"But now treacherous officials are in power, deceiving the emperor!"
"This old minister is powerless; the only way to repay the emperor's kindness is to die!"
Having said that, he actually trembled and crashed into the stone pillar in the courtyard!
Fortunately, the Imperial Guards, who were prepared, reacted quickly and stopped him.
Zhang Huaizhong was pinned to the ground, but he continued to struggle and shout.
"Release me! I demand to see His Majesty! His Majesty must be trapped by treacherous officials!"
"His missing emperor will surely return! You should not be so smug!"
Another imperial censor lay down directly at his own doorstep.
No matter how the imperial guards tried to pull him up, he refused to get up.
"I have served as an official for decades, remaining incorruptible and wholeheartedly devoted to the people!"
"You wish to exile me? Do you have an imperial edict? Do you have a decree from the Crown Prince?"
"No! This is vigilante justice!"
"I refuse to accept this! I'd rather die than accept it!"
As he shouted, he tried to bite the arm of one of the guards with his loose teeth.
In a short time.
The capital was filled with unease and fear.
All those whose names were mentioned.
There was nothing but crying and screaming, chaos and commotion.
…
Meanwhile, in a temple far away in the desolate mountains.
Yu Luo was sitting leisurely in a golden chair.
The panoramic map in front of them clearly showed the farces that were taking place in the capital.
She propped her head up with one hand, watching as those usually aloof ministers and scholars became enraged and started cursing at those around them, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
She shook her head, a mixture of amusement and exasperation in her eyes.
"When the snake woman went to deliver the message, her original intention was to ask the General Who Protects the Nation to send some truly talented people who could be of use to the desolate mountains."
For example, officials who are proficient in agriculture and sericulture, craftsmen who are skilled in the study of things, or some clerks with management experience.
"Turns out, this snake woman really dares to ask for an exorbitant amount."
They actually told that general they needed three or four thousand intelligent, quick-witted, and knowledgeable people.
To Yu Luo's surprise, Xiao Zhen actually agreed!
And judging from his posture, he's planning to tie up three or four thousand people rather than let one go!
However, Yu Luo didn't pick and choose!
No matter who sends them here, once they arrive in the wilderness, they can be trained into useful people!
Thinking of this, Yu Luo felt even happier.
When the time comes, let's leave this matter to Madam An.
Madam An has a big fist and is very good at disciplining people; she'll definitely make everyone obedient.
