Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

All the officials looked at each other again, and no one spoke for a long time.

Emperor Ming of Jin had already frowned.

What on earth were his ministers thinking?

Why don’t you speak?

Is it so difficult to object?

Damn it, at the critical moment, he was blinded again and couldn't hear the voices of these people.

Since no one spoke, he called the roll.

Emperor Ming of Jin coughed and looked at Prime Minister Xu Gongmin.

"Xu Aiqing, you go first!"

Xu Gongmin was his most trusted minister and had been loyal to him since he was still the crown prince!

Last night, he specially sent someone to remind Xu Gongmin how, as the head of all officials, he should lead all officials to oppose Tian Rumo's request today.

Xu Gongmin is a talented person who has won the top prize in the imperial examination. Tian Rumo happened to be there. He believed that Xu Gongmin would appeal to Tian Rumo's emotions and reason with her and persuade her to return to her duties as a woman.

Xu Gongmin's body trembled, and he sighed in his heart, "In the end, I can't escape being the first to stand out."

[Well, if Your Majesty is angry, then just listen to what Princess Qi said and resign from your post and return to the countryside to enjoy your remaining years! ]

[I have spent my whole life in this court, flattering His Majesty, no matter if it is right or wrong, no matter if it is against my will or not, I only say what His Majesty likes to hear and do what His Majesty would be happy with. I am tired of that.]

【Today, let’s just speak freely! 】

Emperor Ming of Jin's expression froze, and he suddenly could hear his inner voice again.

But, what on earth is this old fellow Xu Gongmin thinking about?

Xu Gongmin actually felt that he, as an emperor who was high above everyone else, could also make mistakes?

Is Xu Gongmin tired of continuing to flatter him?

Damn!

Xu Gongmin actually felt some resentment towards him in his heart!

Xu Gongmin stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Princess of Qi has such great ability to resolve the unrest in Shanhai Province in a short period of time, which is a great contribution!"

"Plus, people like Yang Liu have undermined the court's moral principles and laws, and destroyed the court's image and prestige among the people. The people no longer trust the court, and only trust the Princess Qi who saved them."

"It is human nature for them to ask the Princess of Qi to govern the Shanhai Province, hoping that with the Princess of Qi's protection, they can return to the court with peace of mind."

"I think this is feasible. I propose that Your Majesty appoint the Princess of Qi as the Great General of Protecting the Nation and concurrently the Governor of the Mountain and Sea Provinces to calm the people's hearts!"

what?

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Ming of Jin's expression suddenly froze.

Even several princes, including Xiao Jun and Xiao Yan, showed surprise.

Xu Gongmin can basically be said to represent Emperor Ming of Jin. They have analyzed the situation with their own advisers and Emperor Ming of Jin does not want to reject Tian Rumo too directly because Emperor Ming of Jin needs Tian Rumo to make medicine.

Therefore, he would let the ministers refuse, so that he could explain to Tian Rumo that this was a decision made after discussion among the ministers, and that it concerned national affairs, so he could not make a dictatorial decision.

However, Xu Gongmin did not object, but instead agreed with Tian Rumo's request.

Then, the Minister of War Chen Shang stepped out, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps many people would think that women are not suitable for being officials, but there are also a few women of extraordinary talent and beauty in history, who have left behind their deeds and stories."

"Although our ancestors' custom is that women should stay in the harem, there is no explicit stipulation that women cannot serve as officials. When a wise ruler selects talented people to govern the country, he only considers their talents, and age is not important."

"The Princess of Qi is an expert in medicine and is very popular among the people. In addition, she has quelled the unrest in Shanhai Province this time, which is enough to show that she is a talented and extraordinary woman."

"I have heard about the rebellion of the Qingshan Army. I am still having a headache and don't know what to do!"

"The Princess of Qi brought good news overnight. I think my talent is not as good as hers, so I have no right to oppose her."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Ming of Jin’s eyes froze!

Like Prime Minister Xu Gongmin, Minister of War Chen Shang was loyal to Emperor Ming of Jin and was his most loyal minister.

They actually went against the will of Emperor Ming of Jin, which made Emperor Ming of Jin even more surprised.

What happened?

Damn it, at this time, Xu Gongmin and Chen Shang were not thinking about anything, so he couldn't hear what they were thinking.

As for the other ministers, they were only briefly surprised, but then they calmed down.

[The Princess of Qi has already won over Lord Xu and Lord Chen, so there is no pressure anymore.]

[With these two adults taking the lead, there is no need to hesitate. Just support Princess Qi. I am not the first one to stand out, so His Majesty will not vent his anger on me.]

[I have already received the magic medicine from the Princess of Qi. I will support her no matter what. The world is great, but my life is the most important.]

······

When Emperor Ming of Jin heard these mixed voices, he realized that Tian Rumo had contacted these ministers and even gave them benefits.

That’s right, last night, late at night, Tian Rumo visited the core officials of the Jin Dynasty one by one and appeared directly at their bedside, scaring some of the timid ones so much that they peed themselves.

Tian Ruomo took the information about these ministers given by Xiao Jun and used threats and inducements to force them to compromise and support Tian Ruomo.

In addition to threatening them with the possibility of exposing their secrets, he also gave each of them a vitality pill.

This is a medicine that can save lives at critical moments. No matter what the circumstances leading to the life-threatening situation, it can reverse the vitality in the body and save the dying person's life.

Among the civil and military officials in Emperor Ming of Jin's court, few were completely clean, or had some privacy that could not be told to others.

Even if they are clean, people will always get sick. For this kind of people, Tian Ruomo not only gave them a vitality pill, but also promised them that she would ensure the health of their family and their longevity.

Under such circumstances, who would not support Tian Rumo?

Not to mention the ministers loyal to Emperor Ming of Jin, even the ministers who supported other princes turned against him and supported Tian Rumo.

Another minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with what Lord Xu and Lord Chen said. The court has been lax in its control over foreign officials over the years, which has led to officials outside the court becoming alienated from the court and pretending to obey the court but actually disobeying it."

"The action of the Princess of Qi to eliminate Yang Liu in a short period of time will also be a deterrent to other ambitious people who do not obey the imperial decrees. I second the proposal!"

Next, ministers from all over the court came forward one after another to express their views on the matter, but without exception, they all supported Tian Ruomo.

Xiao Bing, Xiao Ci, Xiao Ze, and Xiao Chong could not help but signal the ministers who supported them, wanting them to oppose Tian Rumo.

However, these ministers pretended not to see their gesture and eagerly expressed their support for Tian Ruomo.

This made them, including Emperor Ming of Jin and even Xiao Yan, feel dumbfounded.

Even Xiao Jun was shocked. He never expected such a one-sided situation to occur today.

He thought that today, the conflict between supporters and opponents in the court would be very intense!
