Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 10 Aren't you afraid that I will force you to marry you?
Early the next morning, dozens of ministers who hadn't slept all night came to Suzaku Gate in silence before dawn.

Suzaku Gate is the Nangong Gate of the Wu Dynasty Imperial Palace, and it is also the only gate for civil and military officials to go to court.

But today, the strange thing is that the Suzaku Gate was opened, but no civil and military ministers entered the palace. Instead, they all stood in awe at the palace gate.

Even a few ministers who didn't know what happened wanted to enter the palace as usual, but after seeing these silent colleagues, they couldn't help but move over.

But no matter what the latecomers asked, those silent ministers did not say a word.

They just stood there with their hands upright and their eyes downcast, like puppets made of clay.

It is also like a stubborn boulder blocking a river full of first aid.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the later group of ministers.

"The old Chief Assistant is here..."

"Hey, the young man next to the old Chief Assistant is Chen Yi and Chen Shilang?"

As the scope of the commotion expanded, Xu Wanjun, who was standing at the front of the silent ministers' team, also heard the movement.

He moved his eyelids, turned his head to look, and met Chen Yi's cold eyes.

Glancing silently at Xu Wanjun, Chen Yi glanced across the group of silent ministers, and suddenly spoke out.

"Everyone, those who trust me, Chen Yi and Chen Zishang, will follow me into the palace today!"

Wang Chengping clasped his hands, looked up at the towering Suzaku Gate tower in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Chen Yi, with a gloomy look flashing across his eyes.

Then, shaking his head, he walked past Chen Yi with his head slightly lowered, and said a word.

"Everything depends on me."

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat, after all, he waited until he could hardly see the old Shoufu's back before walking into the Suzaku Gate.

Xu Wanjun looked at Chen Yi's back in silence for a moment, then left suddenly.

As soon as Xu Wanjun moved, several ministers beside him looked at each other, and after a while, they followed Xu Wanjun into the palace.

With Chen Yi's entry into the palace, gradually, the "giant rock" in front of Suzaku's gate collapsed and disintegrated, and one after another entered the palace following the footsteps of Chen Yi and Xu Wanjun...

……

The Empress already knew what happened at the gate of the Suzaku Gate, she was sitting on the bright yellow dragon chair with a rather unsightly expression.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

After the female officials finished singing, the Empress looked sullenly at the civil and military officials in the court hall.

In her opinion, it is not a big deal for her to embezzle some of the money in the imperial bank.

But she absolutely can't stand the incidents of "rebellious ministers" among civil servants!
Xu Wanjun stood in the queue with his hands in his hands, looked at the Empress calmly for a long time, gritted his teeth slightly, and raised his feet.

But before he stretched out his feet, he was suddenly interrupted by an angry voice.

"You unreasonable and stupid king who disregards the common people in the world!

I, Chen Zi, still have a memorial. Do you dare to read it? ! "

Chen Yi stepped out of the train and glared angrily at the empress on the dragon chair.

The empress stared at Chen Yi with squinted eyes, her slender, white and tender fingers like jade green onions tightly clutched the armrest of the dragon chair.

Chen Yi looked at her without showing any timidity.

Ever since Chen Yi's "faint king" fell to the ground, almost all the civil and military officials in the court class were petrified, and they just looked at him dumbfounded.

The Empress and Chen Yi looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Rebellious minister and traitor! I allow you to invite you once to sell your name? How dare you come a second time?"

As soon as she patted the armrest, the empress' face suddenly sank, and she spoke word by word.

"Where are the imperial guards? Drag this traitor down and beat him to death with sticks!"

"Clang!"

The sound of swords being unsheathed suddenly resounded in the silent Golden Luan Hall, and several soldiers in bright yellow armor stepped forward quickly holding shining Yanling sabers.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute."

Just when the soldier was about to walk to Chen Yi, an old voice suddenly came from the front of the line of civil servants.

When the empress waved her hand, dozens of soldiers paused.

Wang Chengping stepped out slowly, and under the surprised eyes of civil and military officials, he calmly stretched out his hand and took off the head and assistant crown that he had regarded as a treasure for decades.

Then, he slowly crawled to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yishi is a great talent. Although he occasionally speaks out and violates admonitions. But please think that he is for the sake of the world. Please spare his life."

"Oh, spare his life?"

The empress's eyes flashed, and an obscure smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes."

Wang Chengping, with disheveled hair and no trace of domineering demeanor, raised his head and looked at the empress calmly.

"After all, His Majesty actually knows the right and wrong of this matter deep down in his heart."

Hearing these words, Xu Wanjun, who had been shocked all the time, suddenly couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart.

"this matter"?Could it be that she, a foolish king, ignored the people in the world and embezzled money from the bank to refine her elixir? !

Chen Yi was so angry that he didn't expose the matter completely, and Xu Wanjun could roughly guess some reasons.

But the old Shoufu was still covering up for this absurd empress until he got to this point? !
Apart from those ill-informed officials in the palace, how many of them don't know about the nonsense things she, a fool, has done? !
Thinking of this, Xu Wanjun suddenly figured out something.

Stepping out of the line, Xu Wanjun calmly saluted the Empress.

"Minister, Xu Wanjun, the governor of Longxi Road, is weak in energy and blood, and cannot bear the busy work, so I would like to resign!"

The empress was stunned and looked at Xu Wanjun jokingly:

"Xu Wanjun, I allocated 60 taels of silver to you two days ago to buy food, grass and disaster relief supplies for disaster relief. Are you resigning today?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

That's right, in the eyes of this stupid king, the money in the bank is equivalent to her internal treasury, and all the money in it belongs to her, and she can use it however she wants, and give it to whomever she wants...

"Chen Yi and you, don't you both think that I am a fool?"

The sneer in the empress's eyes grew stronger and her tone became colder and colder.

"That's alright, the two of you will go to Longxi to relieve the disaster with those grains and grasses today! If there is still one victim, the two of you will never return to the imperial capital!"

The old chief assistant's face froze, and he was about to raise his head and speak out, but he was suddenly stunned when he accidentally met the empress's eyes.

"As for the old Chief Assistant, you are the assistant minister left to me by the late emperor, what? You want to break the oath you made before the late emperor's spirit?"

The old Shoufu's face darkened, he sighed, and fell silent.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the middle of the hall.

Chen Yi threw the memorial in his hand on the ground, and said with an angry smile:
"If you want to kill or cut, I, Chen Zishang, will follow you! If I do one more thing for you, a foolish lord! I'll cut off my head and give you a kick!"

"Heh, you, Chen Zi, are not afraid of death. Don't tell me you are not afraid that I will force you to marry you?"
