Qin Fei avoided Wei Wei's gaze, looked at the bruises and bleeding on his foreheads below, looked at his courtiers with anticipation, and said slowly: "What Zhu Qing said is indeed based on evidence, the queen's words and deeds are indeed against the ancestral etiquette law, and she does not abide by the rules and responsibilities. Since the queen is so transgressive, how do you think you should punish her? β
As soon as Emperor Yuan Jia's words came out, a bunch of ministers immediately burst into tears, it was really not easy! I can't imagine that they can still hear this majesty's rebuke to the queen in their lifetime, this is really an eye-opener! No, it's His Majesty who has finally woken up from the woman.
Thinking that it was Empress Fangcai's rebellious words that finally made Her Majesty understand that she was a disaster, not only did she not think about how to be a competent mother of the country, but she took Her Majesty as the sky, and even wanted to turn the world upside down. If she continues to obey her words, it won't be long before this Daqin has to become a daughter country respected by women, and then the men of the whole country will have to be inferior and fall into the situation of women today, as long as it is a man and his brain is not kicked by a donkey, then he will never help women speak.
Seeing that Emperor Yuanjia was finally on their side, those kneeling ministers immediately straightened their waists, stared at their majesty with great eagerness, and said in unison what they had been holding in their hearts for many years, "The queen is immoral, and she is no longer worthy of the middle palace, and please abolish the queen and choose the daughter of virtuous and virtuous to take charge of the phoenix seal, inherit the temple and the mother of the world, and set an example for the women of the world." β
However, no matter how loud they shouted the word "abolished queen", Queen Zhou, who was standing on top of the Danxi, still had the same expression, and looked at Emperor Yuan Jia calmly.
This time, Qin Fei didn't avoid her gaze again, raised his head slightly and looked at her, and the two were silent and looked at each other for a long time.
The ministers who have been kneeling underground for a long time have been a little unable to hold on, for fear that Emperor Yuanjia will continue to look at the queen so "affectionately", and he will be fascinated by this woman, and he will not be willing to abolish this loser.
They really wanted to shout a few more times, and let Emperor Yuanjia quickly agree to their request while the iron was hot, and abolish the queen of the week, but somehow, the silent confrontation between the emperor and the queen seemed to have a kind of magic, so that they couldn't open this mouth, as if they were afraid of disturbing them.
The Ministry of Rites is still old, and he is pampered on weekdays, and he has never knelt on the ground for so long, and finally he couldn't support it, his body was crooked, and he sat down on the ground with a pop.
This sound finally pulled the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor over. Qin Fei glanced at the several courtiers who were kneeling in pain, and said empathetically: "Zhuqing has been kneeling for a long time, presumably his knees hurt badly!" β
All the ministers nodded one after another, and they all looked at him with blank eyes, hoping that he would quickly say "flat" to relieve his own flesh and skin pain, and then saw Emperor Yuanjia stand up from the dragon chair, as if he was about to step down from the Danxi...... Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor was so moved by their loyalty that he wanted to help them up himself?
So His Majesty the Emperor walked slowly towards the ...... under their ardent anticipation Wait, where are you going?
The ministers watched Emperor Yuan Jia walk to Empress Zhou's side, "Ah Wei, you have been standing here for a long time, do you feel that your legs are sore?" Shall I help you sit down and rest, and drink saliva to moisten your throat? β
In just two sentences, every word can be pinched out of the water gently, but when I heard the ears of the ministers, I was really tired and didn't love it, this was simply hail in June, which smashed them from head to toe, and Emperor Yuan Jiadi's next words gave them a chill.
Qin Fei carefully helped Cai Wei to his dragon chair, sat down next to her, and gently rubbed her back for her, while looking down with horizontal eyebrows and said, "Have you eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and you dare to shout that you want to be abolished, are you old and confused or impatient?" β
The regret in the hearts of the ministers, they should have thought that the country is easy to change, and the temperament is difficult to change, this Emperor Yuanjia has spoiled his wife for more than ten years, with his strong affection for Zhou Hou, how could he be willing to punish her severely? They have been fighting wits and courage with Emperor Yuanjia for so many years, how can they still be ruthlessly put on a show by his little trick of wanting to catch and indulge, have they suffered less in this over the years?
Although he knew that Emperor Yuan Jia was on the side of Empress Zhou again this time, there were still a few courtiers who wanted to fight hard. "Your Majesty, you just said that the queen violated the ancestral system and did not abide by the etiquette law, and asked the ministers how to punish them, so the ministers dared to express their opinions, why do you want to break your word and gain weight now, and have no faith in the ministers' words?"
Qin Fei was handing a cup of warm water to Cai Wei with his own hands, and said with a smile when he heard this: "How did you all get the title of the gold list back then, and why did you become more and more disobedient after being an official for so many years?" I just asked you what I meant, but I didn't promise you anything? As for the queen's unruly etiquette, although it is a fact, but those stinky rules and etiquette are broken, can I abide by them? β
"I am a child who dislikes rules and etiquette the most, and I hate people who follow the rules the most in my life, as for the set of moldy footcloths of the ancestors' family laws, when have you ever seen me abide by them? You keep saying that the queen is immoral and does not abide by the rules and etiquette, so in your eyes, am I also a deviant and immoral monarch, you are shouting that you are going to abolish the queen today, so Ming'er is going to roll up her sleeves and abolish me, the emperor? β
Emperor Yuan Jia's words were really too damning, and he made all the ministers kneel on the ground one after another, saying that they didn't dare. "The rivers and mountains of this Great Qin are all fought down by His Majesty with great hard work, and the ministers respect His Majesty like a god, and they are loyal, and they can learn from each other, how dare they have such a rebellious heart!"
"The Queen's Dignity is the same as me, since you respect me like a god, why do you dare to say anything about my wife?"
"There is a difference between men and women, how can the queen be the same as His Majesty? His Majesty has been fighting for ten years, repelling foreign enemies, protecting the country and defending the land, and he is the master of Zhongxing in my Great Qin, but his actions are a little unreasonable, but compared with His Majesty's immortal deeds, it is simply insignificant. And the queen, as a woman, has not built an inch, but she is pointing fingers in the court, wanting to turn things upside down and trap the men of the world in dire straits, which is simply a vain attempt to shake the cornerstone of the country, lest the world be chaotic, and hope for His Majesty! β
"You said the queen didn't build an inch?" Qin Fei's eyes burst with anger, and Sen Ran asked.
"When I galloped on the battlefield, if there was no queen in the rear to preside over the government, take care of the people's livelihood, enrich the country and strengthen the people, cast a solid backing for me, and send me a steady stream of grain and grass, it would be impossible for me to repel foreign enemies in only ten years. The queen's merit is great, but you even say that she has not built an inch? β
Thinking of Cai Wei's hard work and hard work for Daqin in the past ten years, in the eyes of these ministers, it turned out to be just "not an inch of work", Qin Fei couldn't wait to give two injections to these ministers who were talking nonsense with their eyes open.
Those ministers were still arguing, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and Your Majesty should not let a woman be in charge of the government, but the queen worked a little hard when she was in charge, but compared with the chaotic government she carried out for her own selfishness, it was completely unworthy." Now these women dare to openly protest β‘β‘on the streets, not all of them have been connived and instigated by the queen mother in the past ten years, and the yin and yang in the country are fighting now, chaos is everywhere, and the queen mother is really the culprit! β
It's reached this juncture, and it's the most dangerous moment for them men, these ministers simply have no scruples, they are full of firepower, and they are not afraid of being punished and dismissed by Emperor Yuanjia or something. If Empress Zhou's plot is really successful, their men's status will plummet at that time, and the situation will only get worse.
Cai Wei was afraid that Qin Fei's anger would hurt her body, so she stroked him and said, "Don't be like them!" β
Qin Fei was smoothed by her, her anger subsided a little, patted her hand, smiled at her, and replied to her three words: "Don't worry!" β
Cai Wei also smiled: "Since I married you, I have never been at ease." If she had the slightest anxiety about him, she would not be willing to take the risk and play directly with the ministers in this court.
If it weren't for being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes below, Qin Fei would have been eager to immediately hug his wife into his arms and kiss it. He had to sigh in his heart and close the public case in front of him first.
"'Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. And whose world is this? β
The ministers said: "Naturally, it is His Majesty's, and His Majesty is the lord of the world!" β
"Then do you know why I entrusted the government to the queen back then? Because you are just my courtiers, and the queen is the same as me, and she is also the master of this country. β
Without waiting for the ministers to raise objections, Qin Fei had already said: "When I was still the king of Linchuan, you knew that the house was poor and white, so that I had to rely on my lady's dowry to survive. At that time, I knew that there was always a battle between Daqin and Tatars, but if you want to take precautions and deal with it in advance, you have to have money in your hands to succeed, so I thought of a way to make money by sea, but that must first have the capital to buy ships and goods, and if you don't have money, you can't do anything. β
"Just when I was in trouble, it was my lady who generously donated all the property left to her by my father-in-law and made it available to me, so that I had the capital to start this sea transaction, and to use the gold and silver goods earned by sea to make up for the deficit in the treasury, and to purchase all kinds of war preparations, and to have enough military salaries and armaments to fight with the Tartars for ten years."
"It can be said that without the help of the queen's wealth, I would never have the strength to turn the tide, and the fear of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains would have already followed the surname of Tartar, is there no part of this country?"
Emperor Yuan Jia said it magnificently, and the courtiers below listened to it with their hearts stuffed with wax, which man has never done this misappropriation of his wife's dowry, but he relied on his wife's dowry to eat and support the faΓ§ade, and who really said it so openly in public, which also hurt his dignity and face as a man.
"Your Majesty," the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who had already sat on the ground, struggled to lie on the ground and said: "Once this woman marries, she will be a member of her husband's family, and her dowry will be owned by her husband, and you are only using your own money, how can you be considered a queen again?" And the husband's property is still owned by the husband's family, and this country cannot be shared by the queen in any case. β
Qin Fei sneered: "No wonder the women in this country don't want to marry one by one!" If I am a woman and I don't want to get married, after this marriage, yours is still yours, and mine is yours, even eating white rice is not such a way to eat! The reason why a man is called the head of the family is because he has to earn money to support the family, if this man is a master of soft rice, what kind of head of the family is he worthy, and he wants women to obey him everywhere? β
"I, Qin Fei, am a manly man who stands up to the sky, not the little white face who waits for soft rice, but when I used my wife's dowry, I made a note with my own handwriting......"
As he spoke, Emperor Yuan Jia took out a silk book from his arms.
