Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Chapter 50: When the water is too clear, there will be no fish

Prime Minister Pei moved his mouth, but had no words to reply.

"There are many luxurious and wealthy families in the capital. It is not just the Chu family. There are also more than just Chu Shangshu officials who are corrupt and pervert the law." Yan Donghuang's voice was cold and hard, and there was a chill in his eyes. "But there are only those who embezzle food and grass and disregard human lives." Chu Shangshu, so I must operate on her to let the Qingluan Army soldiers out of their hearts!"

When the ministers and censors behind him heard these words, their expressions were a little unnatural, and they breathed a sigh of relief silently.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

There are not many officials in the DPRK who are truly not greedy. The greater their power and the higher their official position, the more money they have from unknown sources, and few of them can withstand investigation.

Originally, they were worried that the eldest princess would check them one by one, but then they realized that Chu Shangshu's real crime was not corruption, but deliberately delaying food and grass with ulterior motives, which was a waste of human life.

The eldest princess must kill him in order to appease the morale of the army.

Prime Minister Pei was silent for a moment and advised: "Shang Shu of Chu has violated the law and should be dealt with by the emperor."

"The people who almost starved to death are the Qingluan Army. The people who fought tooth and nail to resist foreign enemies but were treated unfairly are the Qingluan Army. The only people who have the power to deal with Chu Shangshu's family are the Qingluan Army." Yan Donghuang had a tough attitude, "Corrupt officials are all corrupt officials. Is it the result of the emperor's connivance? The Prime Minister thinks that I will trust the emperor to deal with it impartially? "

Prime Minister Pei was speechless again.

"The eldest princess's words are wrong." Yan Yushi said sternly, "If the people in charge of military power think like the eldest princess, where is the majesty of the emperor? How can the emperor govern the world-"

Yan Donghuang looked at him coldly: "If the emperor is afraid of meritorious officials, murders brothers and sisters, condones corrupt officials, and assumes that officials can deduct military pay and embezzle food and grass, then such a king will only ruin the centuries-old foundation of his ancestors, and he is not qualified to be emperor!"

Yan Yushi's expression suddenly changed, and he was so shocked that he could not speak.

The other officials were also shocked by Yan Donghuang's momentum and turned pale. They unconsciously shrank their necks and looked at each other.

They originally came with the determination to remonstrate to death.

But when Yan Donghuang asked them to bring all their family members and kill them one by one in front of her, everyone's courage was already shocked, and they felt a little bit of retreat in their hearts.

After all, whether he studied hard for ten years or worked hard in court, it was mostly for himself and his family, for his prosperity, for his descendants, and for his family's prominence.

If they can even attack their own relatives, what's the point of working hard all their lives?

But now, Yan Donghuang looked fearless, accusing the emperor of being fatuous, condoning corrupt officials, and plotting against meritorious officials with such vehement words... Each and every one of them was even more difficult to refute.

If these words were said by others, they might vehemently deny and defend them.

But Yan Donghuang had many meritorious deeds, even the late emperor was proud of him.

The soldiers under her command have the strictest military discipline, and there has never been any rumor of bullying others.

The eldest princess has not lost a single battle since she led the army alone.

Today's emperor can successfully sit on the throne, and the eldest princess is indispensable.

Not long after the emperor came to power, the eldest princess was ordered to go to the border again, and she had never had any trouble with the emperor.

Less than three years after the emperor ascended the throne, he successively eliminated four brothers, leaving only King An.

The eldest princess was poisoned by her husband on her wedding night, and Sheng Jing'an pointed her finger at the emperor.

Food and grass were delayed last year. Was Chu Shangshu also ordered by the emperor to deliberately want the Qingluan army to die at the border?

Ministers are not fools.

Once these questions arise in my heart, my trust in the emperor seems to collapse in an instant.

They are not Yan Donghuang, nor are they brothers of the current emperor.

But they understand better than anyone else the meaning of death and coldness. They have studied hard for ten years, and they understand even more the importance of strong generals and strong troops to the country.

Once the soldiers' hearts are cold, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, and if the country is not protected, it is not that far away that the monarch and his ministers will become slaves of the country in an instant.

The ministers looked solemn and remained silent.

"Prime Minister, please go back." Yan Donghuang spoke again, "The grudge between me and the emperor will not implicate innocent people. You all go back and stay at home and spend more time with your families. When the country changes hands, you guys When you enter the palace to meet the new master, no one will accuse you of being traitors, and no one will accuse you of all the insults."

As soon as the four words "The country changes its owner" were uttered, the ministers all knelt down: "Eldest Princess, please think again!"

Prime Minister Pei looked slightly nervous: "The eldest princess has been poisoned. The top priority is to ask the imperial doctors to work together to find a way to detoxify the poison. Otherwise, even if the emperor is really forced to retreat, the eldest princess's life will not be saved, and it will only leave a mess. Wouldn't it be even more..."

"Prime Minister, don't worry." Yan Donghuang said calmly, "I will make all arrangements."

Prime Minister Pei sighed silently.

He turned to look at the cold and solemn soldiers in uniform.

These elites who should have faced the enemy on the battlefield today followed the eldest princess to force the palace. They were fearless and did not worry about any consequences.

Unswerving loyalty is also heart-stopping.

Prime Minister Pei knew in his heart that the emperor was no match for the eldest princess. As long as he abandoned the constraints of morality, secularity, rules and ancestral institutions, the emperor had no chance of winning in front of the eldest princess.

The imperial guards who were strictly selected in the palace were no match for these battle-hardened soldiers.

Prime Minister Pei couldn't help but recall the scenes before the emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor's ruthlessness in eradicating dissenters after he ascended the throne.

He turned to look at his colleagues and said in a calm voice: "The eldest princess has a strong army and we can't stop it. I'm really ashamed. If you insist on staying here to advise the eldest princess, I will accompany you. If you are willing to go home and wait for news, The truth will never stop it.”

Yan Donghuang turned and went into the mansion, leaving it to them to decide.

However, when she turned around, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lungs.

She staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood without warning: "Puff."

"Your Highness." Feng Yaoguang swept his body and embraced her in a flash, his voice trembling unconsciously, "Your Highness."

"Princess." Prime Minister Pei stepped forward in a hurry, "Is the Princess okay?"

Yan Donghuang gently closed her eyes and suppressed the sharp pain in her lungs: "...No problem."

Feng Yaoguang said nothing, hugged her and walked quickly to Qingluan Courtyard, shouting coldly: "Send the military doctor here immediately!"

The guards hurriedly took the order and left.

Back at Qingluan Courtyard, Feng Yaoguang put Donghuang on the bed, with panic in her eyes that could not be concealed, and even her voice was unstable: "How do you feel, Your Highness?"

Yan Donghuang gently closed her eyes and leaned against the head of the bed to rest for a while: "The time when the poison took effect was a little beyond my expectation."

Feng Yaoguang saw that her expression was normal and her speech was still normal, and frowned: "Your Highness, do you think it took effect too quickly?"

"No, too slow." Yan Donghuang opened her eyes, "Maybe Yan Ming was too sure that I would be controlled by the poison, or he was too sure that Sheng Jingan could hold his temper and would wait until the poison took effect before telling me the truth, so he used the Seven Days Heartbreak Powder. I didn't expect that it was precisely these seven days that would make them doomed."
