Chapter 166: Women’s Love for the Country (19)
"Oh no! Why are you sick again?"
The old eunuch let go of his hand and shook his head as if he was used to it. He walked to the table and sat down, took a bottle of wine from his waist and took a sip happily.
"Today, His Majesty is very happy. It is rare that the imperial kitchen has sent delicious food. It seems that you are not lucky enough to enjoy it."
The old eunuch was drinking wine and eating food, and from time to time he would glance at Murong Cheng who was rolling on the ground in pain.
I had no desire to explore the strange appearance of this man.
The noble man asked him to watch this person, and he just did it.
He has spent most of his life in the palace, and the reason he has survived to this day is that he knows what's appropriate and must not be curious about things he shouldn't know.
Sometimes, people, knowing too much is not good. Just know what you should know. Never be curious or explore what you shouldn't know, because that can cost you your life.
Three days after the wedding of the emperor and empress, Murong Jin began to officially attend court.
However, the first day of court was not peaceful.
Because next to the tall dragon throne, there is a gorgeous phoenix throne.
When the time came, Liu Shu and Murong Jin came out together and sat in their respective seats.
This immediately caused an uproar among the court officials below.
"What...what does this mean?!"
Murong Jin glanced at Liu Shu, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and when he saw that everyone had quieted down, he spoke.
"I am not feeling well and should not work too hard. Therefore, from now on, the Queen will attend court with me and handle state affairs together."
As soon as Murong Jin finished speaking, an old censor with a white beard fell to his knees with a thud, holding a tablet in his hand and spitting out his strong opposition.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! Since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Harem interference in politics is a disaster that will cause chaos in the country. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"Your Majesty, we have so many talented people in Daye. Why do we need a woman like the Queen to come forward to assist Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen is the head of the harem. It is the Queen's duty to manage the harem and continue to have offspring. I hope the Queen will retreat to the harem and not interfere in government affairs."
Many ministers knelt down and wanted Liu Shu to leave the court and retreat to the harem.
The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at Liu Shu who was sitting at the top seat and did not move.
He was both surprised and not so surprised that Liu Shu assisted Murong Jin in managing the court as the queen.
Judging from Liu Shu's behavior after returning to Beijing, she is an ambitious, capable and resourceful woman. Such a person cannot be treated as an ordinary woman.
Moreover, now that she has appeared here, she will not leave easily.
Although the Duke of Zhenguo did not want Liu Shu to rule together with His Majesty, when he thought of Murong Cheng's death and the auspicious omen on the day when Liu Shu was crowned queen, he felt that this woman Liu Shu was a little bit weird, so he decided to wait and see.
"Lord Li, I am the first female general personally appointed by His Majesty in the Daye Dynasty. This is unprecedented. Your Majesty is not feeling well and should not work too hard. I am your wife and I, so what's wrong with worrying about you?"
"Master Chen, you said that Daye is full of talented people, so why did you let me, a woman, guard the border?"
Liu Shu sat upright on the phoenix chair and calmly rebuked them one by one until they were speechless.
As she said this, Liu Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. There were still not enough people, and not enough time. She couldn't train them all at once. Otherwise, why would she have to come out and argue with them in person?
Seeing that they couldn't win the argument, these people started to act like scoundrels.
They all cried and wailed that Liu Shu was a witch who had bewitched His Majesty, and some even expressed their willingness to die in protest.
Liu Shu sneered. Who said that scholars don't act like hooligans? Scholars are the best at acting like hooligans.
All things are inferior, only reading is superior? Isn't this a way for them to elevate themselves and belittle others.
The literati died for their advice, and Ming left behind a green past. Did they want to threaten her with this?
It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. These people knew nothing about her and just played their cards recklessly.
It just so happened that she also needed to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys to establish her authority.
Since someone has jumped out, she won't be polite.
Liu Shu glanced at the minister who was crying and wailing and saying he would commit suicide by hitting his head against the pillar, then waved to the imperial guards beside her.
"Since Lord Zhang is so determined, I will help you. Someone, go and help Lord Zhang and let him file a complaint with the late emperor!"
"Yes!"
Awu, who was guarding in front of the hall, bowed to Liu Shu and walked quickly towards Lord Zhang who was sitting on the ground.
Before the ministers arrived, he quickly drew out the sword at his side and chopped off Lord Zhang's head with one blow.
"what!"
The official standing not far from Lord Zhang had blood splashed all over his face. He screamed in fear and collapsed to the ground.
"Ah! General, General, spare my life!"
There was a sudden panic in the hall.
Swish!
The royal guards in the hall all drew their swords.
The rising sun in the east climbed over the palace wall, shone through the wide-open palace door, and shone on the swords in the hands of the royal guards, reflecting cold rays of light and shining on the faces of the ministers in the palace.
The ministers subconsciously raised their hands to block the dazzling light before their eyes.
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Murong Jin frowned subconsciously, and his hands on the dragon throne clenched suddenly, his finger joints protruded and veins on the back of his hand were exposed.
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at Liu Shu who was in a calm posture, lowered his long eyelids, and said nothing.
Liu Shu bent her fingers, tapped the chair lightly, and said, "Quiet!"
There was a sudden silence. The ministers were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and finally they all knelt down.
"This is a place for the court to discuss matters, not a market outside. It is inappropriate for you ministers to make such a fuss."
Looking at the gleaming blade in front of them and the decapitated body of Lord Zhang, although many people disagreed with Liu Shu's words, no one dared to say anything.
Liu Shu glanced at the people below, smiled slightly, and asked.
"Does anyone have any comments? It doesn't matter. If you have any, you can raise them. I will definitely satisfy you."
Satisfied, Lord Zhang's body is not cold yet! A group of ministers are still in shock, and no one dares to speak.
It was the Duke of Zhenguo who took the lead and bowed with his tablet in hand.
"Long live your majesty, I…I have no objection!"
After the national defense was made public, everyone followed suit and responded.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty has no objection!"
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty has no objection either!"
The ministers headed by Lord Pei were unwilling to accept this, but they were afraid of Liu Shu's unconventional behavior. After all, who was like Liu Shu who would kill people whenever she wanted?
Now the entire Imperial Guard is under the control of Liu Shu. They are really afraid that Liu Shu will ignore them and kill them all here.
I could only kneel down helplessly and agree temporarily.
"Your servants... have no objection."
No matter what, we need to calm Liu Shu down first, and then discuss countermeasures after they leave the hall.
