His Majesty is a sick beauty

Chapter 33 Persecution in Court

=========================

"Emperor Li is angry, corpses are everywhere, Emperor Li is out, and there is a severe drought!"

The sarcasm was compiled into a catchy nursery rhyme, which spread throughout the Yu Dynasty almost overnight.Countless articles scolding Su Xun for being so cruel that he angered the heavens were circulated wildly among the aristocratic families. In their mouths, Su Xun became a fatuous and cruel emperor far more than the previous emperor Youdi. The point of punishment.

"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading all over the Yu Dynasty, and people are panicking. If things go on like this, the foundation of the country may be shaken!"

The man in the official uniform has a serious face, with unconcealable worry and urgency in his eyes. At first glance, he is really a good official who cares about the country and the people, loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Su Xun chuckled in his heart: "Then according to what Aiqing said, what will I do?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict of guilt and pass it on to the Yu Dynasty to reassure the people!"

"The minister is also!"

"The minister is also!"

……

The echoes sounded one after another, Su Xun looked at all this indifferently, and finally nearly three-quarters of the courtiers stood up scattered.

This posture is not persuasive, it is clearly coercion!

Su Xun gripped the carved armrest of the dragon chair tightly, the joints of his hands turned white due to excessive force, he swallowed the sweet smell welling up in his throat, gritted his teeth and tried to keep his voice steady: "Na Meng Chao What about the compensation that Yu Weichao talked about?"

His tone was so cold that some officials who stood up began to tremble uncontrollably after hearing the voice.But the official who first stood up to the incident was still calm, and said in a deep voice: "The Yu Dynasty suffered from a severe drought, so it should not be an enemy of the two countries."

As soon as these words came out, the anger already surging in Su Xun's heart exploded even more!

He originally thought that although these aristocratic families were proud and self-satisfied, they still considered themselves the courtiers of the Yu Dynasty after all, and they would have a bit of aristocratic arrogance and would not do too much.

But unexpectedly, in order to retaliate against him, in order to resist his suppression of the family, these people would not hesitate to join forces with other countries, and they would not hesitate to let him cede land and pay compensation to make him submit!

Sitting on the dragon chair, Su Xun looked down at the courtiers who claimed to be loyal but kept intimidating, and suddenly laughed twice.

"Okay, okay. What a loyal minister and good general, what a pillar of the country!" Su Xun said coldly, "If I say it, I don't agree?"

"His Majesty!"

Su Xun stood up abruptly, and the crown in front of him shook violently: "I put my words here, Yu Chao, if you don't cut the land, you won't pay!"

"I am right, and Yu Chao is also right!"

Those officials who followed Mr. Wang were overwhelmed by Su Xun and didn't know what to say for a while.But Wang Lao still stood calmly at the front, looking at the stubborn emperor.

He knew that he had to break the back of the person in front of him, so that he would not dare to say "I disagree".

Counting the time, it was time for that person to appear.He said Buddha in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to see what happened next.

"Your Majesty is determined to go his own way, and the ministers have received the favor of the emperor, but they can't dissuade them!" When everyone was silent, a young man suddenly shouted, "What face do you have to live in the world?!"

After all, before everyone could react, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the pillar beside him, hitting his head hard!

boom!

The dull voice echoed in the hall, and the man fell softly to the ground, his forehead was bright red.

The silence lasted for several seconds before someone hastily summoned the guards and imperial physician.Su Xun looked at this flustered scene and felt it was extremely absurd.

His eyes slowly swept across the man's closed eyes, pale face, and blood all over his face. His hands and feet were cold, and he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

He knew this person, who was from a humble family, and had volunteered to transcribe books for the Guofeng Pavilion.Although this person came from a bad background, he was erudite and thoughtful, and had the ambition to serve the country, so Zhou Han personally recommended him, and Su Xun personally arranged for him to be an official post after some investigation, and let him serve in the imperial court.

Su Xun never expected that the first cut from the family would be handed over by these poor families whom he personally promoted.

The person who hit the pillar was carried out by the guards. From the limp state of the person's body and the blood on the ground, it can be seen that even if the person can wake up, he probably won't live for long.As soon as this matter came out, the already rampant rumors would only get worse!

Su Xun suddenly felt very tired. Although he was sitting on the world, he became the loneliest person in the world.For this natural disaster, in order to keep the disaster within a controllable range, he was thinking about how to mobilize food relief almost all the time.He counted the few grain reserves in the Yu Dynasty over and over again. He had to strip away all his emotions and regard the people as cold numbers, either to save or to abandon.He couldn't sleep well every night, and he drank the medicine prepared by Qinghe like water and ate it like rice!

Qinghe found me more than once, telling me that my body would not be able to bear it if this went on.But how can I rest, Yu Chao has countless mouths waiting for food to save his life, how dare I rest!

But what have I gained after giving all this, Su Xun looked down and shouted again, feeling a strong disgust for the courtier who wanted to force himself to write down the sinful edict.He really wanted to grab those people by their collars and ask them, are their eyes so short-sighted that they can only see the one-third of an acre of land in front of them?

It's nothing more than requisitioning land to cultivate miscellaneous grains. I have already bought them from them at almost double the market price. Isn't that enough?Is it really necessary to wait until Yu's dynasty is full of starvation and refugees attack the city before sending troops to suppress it?

Don't they know that once the refugees form a large scale, those clans that have family property but lack sufficient force will become the biggest targets of attack; don't they know that the corpses of the victims will give birth to the plague under the action of the scorching heat, and when the time comes Everyone is not immune; don't they know that the Meng Dynasty in the south, the Wei Dynasty in the north and even the Gushuo Dynasty have long been eyeing the fertile land in the Yu Dynasty, looking for a reason to send troops?

Do they not know, or don't care?

A century-old family, what a century-old family.Only now did he see what this so-called century-old family really meant.

The Chu family was the surname of the previous dynasty. After the dynasty changed, it still ranked among the top three in the family list. What does the change of dynasty have to do with these families? What does the suffering of the people have to do with these wealthy families? !

"Cough, cough, cough." Amidst the sound of reproaches, almost no one heard the little emperor's weak cough.

His body shook slightly. The exhaustion of physical strength in recent days made his already broken body weaker.The smell of blood made him sick, and those voices gave him a headache. The voice of every duty seemed to be magnified countless times and echoed in his mind.

Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from the side, supporting his waist.Su Xun raised his head slowly, and saw Murong Che with a handsome face.

"Prime Minister..."

"Your Majesty, calm down."

After Murong Che finished speaking, he began to look at the courtiers in the audience.When Namo looked at the little emperor, the expression of worry mixed with tenderness dissipated immediately.

"Shut up."

The prime minister's coercion was so deep that he just opened his mouth lightly, which made the courtiers below startled and shut their mouths.

"For persecuting the king like this, are you trying to plot rebellion?" Murong Che looked at the old man who stood up first, "Wang Shangshu is old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold the post of Shangshu, so tell him to return to his hometown."

Wang Shangshu looked at Murong Che in disbelief: "Prime Minister, you..." You are clearly from a family!

Murong Che sneered, he could tell from their expressions that they were just shocked that he had become a traitor to the clan.

But if there are such stupid people in the clan, he really disdains to be with them.

"Wang Cheng, Ye Qing, and Chu Shu were dismissed from their posts. Zhou Liang and Meng Dong forced the officials of the same dynasty to threaten His Majesty with their lives, and they were all sent to cold prisons. The rest of them, if they find evidence of contacts with other countries, will all be severely punished!"

Looking at the pale little emperor in his arms, Murong Che's anger could hardly be contained.But he still has a sliver of reason, knowing that even if none of the people in front of him is clean, he can't kill them all in one go. The batch is equally rotten.

A sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before surged into his heart, and Murong Che suddenly realized that he could no longer protect himself with that thin emperor behind him.

He clenched his fists tightly, remembering the faces of the people in front of him one by one.Even if he can't do it now, he will not spare these people lightly.

These guys who made the little emperor's condition worse, he will slowly clean up one by one in the next time.
