This is what villains are like

Deep in the palace, in the Chengming Hall, on top of the papers, a series of memorials were automatically floating in the air without any wind, and they were being read continuously.

On top of the soft body, Emperor Xia was wearing a red and black imperial robe with gold edges, half-supporting his head in a very casual posture.

As his gaze swept over the memorials, the gilt-plated writing brush on the side would float up on its own initiative, and then he would quickly finish correcting the memorials.

What used to take half a day to grade and process, she now only needs a few thoughts to complete.

The improvement of cultivation realm has also brought changes in many aspects such as soul, thinking, wisdom, etc. Multitasking is even easier.

She can now devote part of her mind to practice, leaving only some thoughts to deal with state affairs.

"Haha, it seems that there are still many ministers who are dissatisfied with me, and their words are full of advice. However, I just want to sit firmly on this throne..."

"Since ancient times, there has never been a female emperor, so why can't I become the first female emperor in the world?"

When scanning some of the contents on the memorial, Emperor Xia couldn't help but outline a mocking arc.

Even though she used iron and blood to deal with the ministers who impeached her, it was still difficult to suppress the many objections in the court.

Including some of the ministers he had promoted before, they were also expressing their advice in a subtle way.

But if she doesn't sit on the throne, who will sit on it, or give it up?

The old guys in the clan's mansion are still thinking about this position.

It's a pity that after she took Jiang Ruxian to go there in person, the objections of those old guys could only be hidden deep in their hearts and they did not dare to show them easily again.

On that day, Emperor Xia saw with his own eyes that a very senior old man who had no longer been involved in royal affairs appeared and wanted to punish her according to the royal rules. However, Jiang Ruxian just slapped her and seriously injured her. He didn't dare to say another word "no".

The other elders of the clan mansion remained silent.

Although the clan mansion was temporarily shocked, Emperor Xia also knew that those old guys still refused to give up.

However, she already has countermeasures. After all the matters at hand are resolved, she will start to modify the rules and regulations of the royal family so that women can become emperor. She will not only change the country's title, but also set a precedent.

Now I owe Jiang Rushian a favor, and he said that although she would consider it, he would agree to the official position she offered him.

But Emperor Xia knew very well that Jiang Rushian just wanted an opportunity to work with Jiang Lan. How could a strong person like her be bound by these red tapes?

Jiang Ruxian is not stupid either. If there is no benefit, it is impossible to help her all the time.

"This is really embarrassing for me. Although Jiang Lan did a good job in protecting the troops during this southern hunting exercise, he has no official position to reward him."

"It's very likely that he doesn't care about this, or even feels disgusted, thinking that I'm trying to tie him to himself."

After Emperor Xia finished processing these memorials, he changed to a reclining position, and Chunlan beside him brought the peeled spiritual fruit to her.

"Chunlan, you have been with me for a long time. What do you think of Jiang Lan? What do you think he lacks now?"

She did not take the spirit fruit, but glanced at the maid beside her and asked.

Chunlan didn't expect that Emperor Xia would suddenly ask herself this, and she was stunned.

She thought of the scene she saw outside Hualong Pond that day, and her face suddenly turned red.

"I don't know what Mr. Jiang lacks. He is the son of the Prime Minister. He has a noble status and a prominent family. He has skills, resources, beauty, and status. He has almost everything. He should not be lacking anything..." She whispered.

Emperor Xia nodded in agreement, as if he had a headache and felt helpless, and said, "There is nothing I can give you."

In an emergency, in order to get Jiang Ruxian to help her, she boasted that Haikou would help her and Jiang Lan get back together and create so-called opportunities for them to work together.

But when it was actually implemented, she found it troublesome.

Now Emperor Xia still remembers the joking look on Jiang Rushian's face when he left that day, "I've helped you now. If you can't satisfy me, you have to think clearly about the consequences."

That woman looks otherworldly, ethereal, and otherworldly, but that does not mean that she is simple-minded, kind and gentle.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Chong'an County is outside the palace asking for an audience."

At this time, a eunuch outside the palace suddenly came to report.

"Prince Chong'an?"

Emperor Xia's reclining posture has not changed at all. Now, there is a high screen in front of the document, like a hanging curtain. Even if the ministers look up at her, they can only see a hazy figure and a surging and rich fragrance. Dragon spirit.

"Xuan." Emperor Xia didn't know what this uncle wanted to do with him.

Could it be because of what happened to Zhenbei King Xiao He?

In the past few days, because of the leak of the plan of the Palace of Eternal Life, the Prince of Chong'an County sent several invitations, requesting that Zhenbei King Xiao He be held accountable and the military talismans in his possession be taken back, otherwise it would be difficult to quell the public's anger.

Many ministers also believed that Emperor Xia was a little too partial to King Zhenbei.

Although his son Xiao Teng did not leak the plan intentionally, it was the King of Zhenbei who failed in his duty first. How could he expose it so easily?

Emperor Xia also knew that this move would be difficult to quell the public anger in the court, but in any case, the King of Zhenbei was promoted by her personally and was loyal to her. Now is the time to employ people. Demotion and punishment would be equivalent to a critical moment. When the time comes, cut off one's arm.

Her situation will be even worse.

"Weak minister, please see Your Majesty."

Soon, Prince Chongzheng of Chong'an County came to the main hall under the leadership of the eunuch. After bowing his hands and saluting, he said bluntly, "Your Majesty, I think your handling of Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, was inappropriate..."

"The words spoken by his son Xiao Teng in the main hall that day are true or false. They have yet to be verified and cannot be revealed easily. The remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect have been dormant for a long time. Before his son Xiao Teng was killed, he had a private meeting with someone, but That day in the palace, I deliberately concealed the matter."

"Whether Xiao He, King of Zhenbei, has colluded with the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect remains to be discussed and verified. But if you let him go like this, it will be difficult to appease the ministers in the court, and it is unfair. In the imperial capital in a few days, there have been There were all kinds of rumors going around.”

"We have ordered the capable people in the palace to investigate, and have noticed that the dragon energy in the imperial capital seems to be infected, and it contains blood red and black, which is really an ominous sign."

"I hope Your Majesty will not lose people's hearts for your own selfishness. As a woman, you have gone against the grain and acted against the will. You have already made many people talk..."

He has a handsome face, is wearing a five-clawed python robe, has a square face and broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is extremely heroic. His words are spoken in a sharp and sonorous tone, as if he is not afraid of Emperor Xia's punishment and wrath at all.

Hearing this, Emperor Xia frowned slightly, but she soon relaxed. After all, she was her uncle in name only. She had been able to secure this position with the support of Prince Chong'an over the years.

The words of advice were harsh to the ears, and although they were unpleasant to hear, they were really for her sake.

"Uncle, there is no need to say more. I am fully aware of your concerns, but I have already made up my mind on this matter." Xia Huangdao, instead of calling him Chong'an County Prince, he called him uncle, which could bring the two of them closer. Relationship.
