The courtiers didn't know why the emperor did this. He had obviously shown disgust with the Lu family before, and even let the eldest prince have a fight with Lu Baichuan's son in the Imperial College.

Logically speaking, the emperor should be on the same front as them. How could it become like this?

Many people were sweating profusely. Fortunately, they did not follow them and stood out. Although they also envied the Lu family for being favored by the emperor, this incident was not entirely the Lu family's fault. They could not harm the Lu family just because of their selfishness, so they stood still and did not move. .

Then he watched helplessly as a group of courtiers who stood out were arrested.

With the previous group, even if the remaining people were a little unconvinced, they did not dare to say anything.

Your heart is unpredictable!

Fortunately, the emperor did not deliberately show off. He glanced at the people below and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Nian."

The little eunuch stood up, opened a booklet, and began to explain the reasons why he wanted to arrest those people.

When everyone heard that these people had colluded with the islanders, they all had incredible expressions on their faces.

They only thought that those courtiers were thinking about the court and the emperor, so they made such remonstrances in the court and asked the emperor to punish the Lu family. They really didn't expect that they actually colluded with the islanders in private. This is a serious crime!

Of course, not all those arrested had colluded with the islanders, and some had not, but they still followed those people in the court and targeted the Lu family. They were not innocent anyway, and they were all arrested.

After the little eunuch finished reciting, the emperor spoke: "Among them, some people from the island country took the initiative to contact me, and some even took the initiative to contact the people from the island country. They were eating the salary from my Beiyan court, but they colluded with people from other countries to deal with me. Chao Zhongliang, do you really feel so honored?"

"The reason why Mrs. Lu came to make things difficult for the islanders is because the islanders sent several heads to her family that day. After verification, those people were our defense officials in the Beiyan border area. They devoted themselves wholeheartedly to Beiyan, but they He died a violent death and was used by the islanders to provoke the Lu family, shouldn’t the islanders die?”

The reason why I endured it for so long was to find out whether these people were really the agents of Dongting as the people in the island country said. However, after some verification, they were not only not the agents of Dongting, but also good officials in the border areas who served the country and the people. , but they were killed by the islanders like this, and their heads were taken and given to the Lu family, unjustly accusing them of being the work of Dong Ting.

Isn't this kind of thing shameful?

No one spoke below, and the emperor continued: "People from the island country want to visit, but they have to go outside the capital city to report. Before the report, they had been doing things that harmed the interests of Bei Yan. After they came, they even took a The Fengchen woman wanted to get married to me, the king of a country, and even wanted Beiyan's national treasure Pangu Jade as a dowry. She did such things to insult Beiyan and insult me, but only Mrs. Lu stood up to vent my anger during the whole process!"

"As officials of the imperial court, you don't care about how to safeguard the interests of the country and my dignity as the king of a country. Instead, you collectively throw dirty water on the Lu family and blame Mrs. Lu. You are really kind to me. Dear you!"

After saying this, the courtiers all knelt down on the ground and apologized: "I know my mistake. Your Majesty forgives me!"

The emperor sneered and said: "Those who are caught should be beheaded and exiled. No one is allowed to plead for mercy. Anyone who pleads for mercy will be guilty of the same crime!"

After saying that, he immediately threw up his sleeves and left, leaving only the ministers kneeling on the ground.

They were all sweating profusely, their hands and legs were weak from fear, and they couldn't stand up for a long time.

At this time, they realized that the emperor's behavior of being angry with the Lu family was just a show, in order to arrest those in the court who were secretly involved with the islanders.

There was so much commotion during this period that even they thought the emperor wanted to extricate the Lu family, so they almost followed the trend and said bad things about the Lu family. Fortunately, fortunately, there was still a trace of kindness in their hearts and they did not follow suit and add insult to injury. That little bit of kindness saved them.

On that day, all the homes of those who were arrested were ransacked, and a lot of property and food were confiscated, all of which were collected into the national treasury. At this time, the originally empty national treasury was filled instantly.

Not to mention, confiscating these people's homes is enough to support a war.

Even if he really got into a fight with the islanders later, he wouldn't be afraid.

So, when everyone thought that the emperor was crazy, someone was already crazy with joy and laughed in front of the queen for an hour.

Although the imperial court lost a large group of senior courtiers, what does it matter? A country with a large population never lacks talents. At worst, he can just open another Encore to recruit more talents.

The newly appointed young people have good beliefs, are conscientious and efficient in their work, and their salaries are not high, so they are much better than those old fritters.

Anyway, the emperor felt that he would benefit the most from this time, so naturally he couldn't stop laughing.

The Queen was so speechless by his laughter that she couldn't help but persuade: "If Your Majesty is free, why not tell the world about this and clear the Lu family's name? I heard that there are still rotten vegetable leaves at the door of the Lu family. There are still too many." It would be better to send some people to clean it up, so as not to hurt the loyal ministers’ hearts!”

After being reminded like this, the emperor suddenly remembered that he was happy. The Lu family had not yet dealt with it.

"Oops, I forgot about it, I'll let someone else handle it!"

He stood up and ran away without any image. The queen shook her head and smiled helplessly.

However, the queen is very satisfied with her current life and status. The emperor has no airs in front of her. They get along like an ordinary couple. They are always busy when they are busy. When they are free, they will also check the children's homework and discipline the children. Also put in a lot of effort.

They are husband and wife now, but they are more like family members, the kind where no one can live without the other.

Once the incident was announced, many people gathered in front of the Lu family. Each of them apologized to the Lu family, saying that they had been led by bad people before and did not intend to target the Lu family.

If it were any other family member, they would definitely agree happily.

But Jiang Jiuniang is now in charge of the Lu family. People from the palace are cleaning the house. People come to apologize one by one, but Jiang Jiuniang says she does not forgive.

She stood at the door of her home, with the entire Lu family behind her, looking at the people outside without speaking.

The people are very helpless. They come to apologize, but the master does not forgive them. What should they do?

When more and more people gathered at the door, Jiang Jiuniang felt that the time was almost up, so she slowly spoke:
