Chapter 226 Yixiu 95
After returning to the palace, the emperor was shocked to find that the palace's defenses had long been changed, and the blood-driving guillotine that he had trained for a long time could no longer be contacted.
The disappointed emperor could only place his hopes on the morning court session. He did not believe that Wen Yi could silence the gossips of the crowd.
The emperor was particularly active when he attended court the next day and got up earlier than usual.
When he saw Wen Yi standing in the hall in court robes, his pupils suddenly shrank. That dress...
Is she so impatient for the bright yellow cloud dragon pattern?
How long has it been since the imperial edict was passed back? Even the emperor himself would not believe that it was hastily made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is not even old enough to get married, so when did they start planning it?
After Wen Yi paid her respects, she stood before the emperor, neither the father nor the daughter spoke.
The ministers were a little flustered when they saw this scene. The colors and patterns of the court robes looked so familiar.
Some old ministers have already noticed that when Prince Li Mi was the crown prince, the late emperor issued an edict, allowing him to ride in a dragon chariot and wear bright yellow clothes. Even so, the crown prince did not dare to get on it easily.
Now this...
"Gentlemen, please stand. This is my newly appointed Crown Princess."
The emperor introduced Wen Yi's identity in a cold voice, without saying a single extra word, and looked down coldly.
He was waiting for the ministers to speak out against it.
But the hall was eerily quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment, a minister stepped forward first.
"I am here to meet you, Your Highness."
The emperor's gaze swept over like a sharp knife. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi? His daughter seemed to be in the palace, the outspoken Fang Changzai.
When did they hook up?
Once there is the first one, there will be the second one. Nian Gengyao, who had not attended court for a long time, and several members of the royal family also knelt down.
Seeing this, the remaining people knelt down one after another.
"Your Highness, the Princess, is here to pay your respects."
"Get up."
Wen Yi walked up the stairs and sat on a chair at the side. The next period of time would be her home court.
"Your Majesty has been traveling for days and is feeling a little unwell. The Imperial Physician has advised against talking too much. I will be taking charge of today's court meeting. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The emperor's hand hidden at his side trembled slightly, and the gun barrel behind him was pointed at his waist at some point.
No matter how unwilling you are, you have to endure it.
He forced a smile and nodded.
Wen Yi smiled with satisfaction, "Let's get started."
The ministers reported on their official business as usual, and Wen Yi handled everything with ease.
Not only the emperor was shocked, but also the court officials.
The emperor's compromise just now was accompanied by a hint of anticipation. He wanted Wen Yi to know that managing a country required more than just force.
No matter how powerful your army is, you still have to be careful when facing these ministers.
But Wen Yi's performance gave the emperor a slap in the face, and he, who was sitting at the top, became a complete mascot.
It wasn't long before the news spread, and the emperor only came to sit in court occasionally.
Only a few retired old civil servants shouted that it was unreasonable and that a woman in power might cause disaster, and they gathered students to sit in protest in front of the palace.
He requested the emperor to restore order. The emperor had two princes and there were also male heirs in the royal family. It was neither reasonable nor moral to pass the throne to a princess.
Wen Yi wrote down the names of those students one by one.
It's ironic that after an investigation, it was found that there was no innocent person among them. They raped women, seized other people's land... they did all kinds of things.
The books have been read into the dog's stomach.
Wen Yi did not hesitate at all. That night, dazzling fireworks were set off in the city, attracting everyone's attention.
No one noticed the gunshots at the palace gate.
After the flood, the palace gate was still clean the next day.
Everyone knows who gave the order, but no one has any evidence.
Wen Yi's majesty deepened.
Of course, Fourteen, who was far away in the imperial mausoleum, could not accept such a thing. He openly cursed in the mansion. On the same day, he was shot in the knee and was sent back to Beijing.
Of course Qi Yuebin would tell the Queen Mother such good news.
The empress dowager, who was imprisoned in Shoukang Palace, was still trying hard to maintain her health and dreaming of having her younger brother succeed her brother.
I fainted when I suddenly heard the news.
"Zhuxi, ask the emperor to come over. I want to see him, now!"
When the empress dowager woke up, her face was pale and the veins on her neck were bulging. She grabbed the bed curtain tightly and tore a large piece of cloth apart with one force.
It was obvious that the situation was not good, Zhuxi did not dare to delay any longer and turned around to run outside.
Wen Yi was not the emperor, so he didn't care whether the empress dowager met outsiders or not.
When the mother and son met again, they were shocked by each other's haggard appearance. They were the most noble people in the Forbidden City, so when did they become like this?
The Queen Mother didn't have that much time to waste talking nonsense with the Emperor.
He questioned her repeatedly, "How could you make the princess the crown princess? The two princes are useless and there are others. How could you do this?"
"What do you mean by useless? Empress Dowager, my son is alive and well. Who are you talking about?"
The emperor's tears were stopped before they could fall.
When he came, he was secretly happy, thinking that the Queen Mother had received the news and was comforting him.
Who would have thought that the other party didn't care at all and spoke so hurtfully.
Someone else? Of course there was someone else. Wen Yi was his bloodline after all.
The Queen Mother gasped for breath, struggled to throw the pillow at the Emperor, and said fiercely, "Don't lie to me."
"Could it be that something happened to those two princes? Why would you choose a princess as your heir? You are so cruel and disrespectful to your elders. Your fourteenth brother just said a few words, and he was beaten in the leg!"
The empress dowager's hands were shaking as she pointed at the emperor when she thought about her youngest son who was not only injured but also being escorted to the capital like a prisoner.
"Immediately issue an order to have Old Fourteen treated properly."
"If you don't have a suitable heir, he is the best heir. It is only natural that the younger brother inherits the throne after the elder brother dies."
The emperor looked at the empress dowager venting her emotions with hurt eyes, her lips trembling a few times but unable to utter a word.
The younger brother inherits the throne after the elder brother's death? He has been on the throne for so long, and his mother still wants his younger brother to inherit everything.
How ridiculous.
The temperature in her body gradually dissipated, and the Queen Mother already had a bad feeling in her heart.
Seeing that the emperor still had a cold face and said nothing, the empress dowager's voice softened again.
"Emperor, I am only thinking about you. According to the rules left by our ancestors, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You want to pass the throne to a princess, but have you ever thought about how you will face our ancestors in the future?"
"I beg you, he's your brother from the same mother!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were red, and she covered her chest with her hands as she spoke with true feelings.
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He thought of what happened when Zhen Huan gave birth. When the queen said that he had been fooled, he didn't take it seriously.
It just trapped the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace, and there was no other result afterwards.
Now that I think about it, the Queen Mother wanted to harm Zhen Huan because she didn't like her appearance or because of the royal heir.
Was the Empress Dowager also responsible for Hongshi and the others’ infection with smallpox?
