Chapter 32: Xiao Liyan regretted it
"Uncle Huang, don't scold me, I won't go to the early dynasty today, if they have anything important, just go to the fold, and I will review the fold later." The Emperor yawned and said.
Xiao Liyan felt a burst of contempt in his heart when he heard this.
As for Xiao Chengzong's dead virtue, can you review it well? People never read the content of the excerpt, whether it is accurate or not, it all depends on the mood.
Therefore, every time the ministers of the cabinet encountered a major event, they directly asked to see the emperor, and did not dare to present the excerpts.
Occasionally, there are some serious reviews of the recitals, which are not Xiao Chengzong's handwriting, although the handwriting is imitated as much as possible, but can't the ministers in the cabinet recognize it?
Who approved it, everyone knows it, otherwise Yi Guifei pretended to be extremely virtuous in front of her, how could she have the name of a demon concubine?
Because she is in politics!
"Your Majesty, do you really want to go to court?" Xiao Liyan didn't bother to salute, sat directly on the chair, and asked in a deep voice.
"I just don't go to court occasionally, nothing bad happens, Uncle Huang doesn't have to take it seriously." The Emperor sneered.
"The emperor is not afraid that one day, the ministers will unite to depose you." Xiao Liyan said with a serious face.
When the Emperor heard this, he immediately stood up.
Concubine Yun, who was originally sitting on his lap, was startled, if it weren't for the palace maid on the side, she was afraid that she would fall to the ground.
"Scrapped? Who would dare? Aren't you afraid that I will kill his whole family? Did you destroy the nine tribes of him? The emperor said murderously.
Although he is a faint king, he is still full of deterrence when he starts a fire, and even Concubine Yun, who was standing beside him, was startled, and knelt down as soon as her legs became weak.
The minions in the room were even more frightened, and one by one they knelt on the ground and shivered.
Only Xiao Liyan still sat firmly on the chair, without even moving his eyelids.
"The emperor is angry." Concubine Yun said in a trembling voice.
"I must cut down those rebels and thieves." The Emperor snapped.
Seeing that the emperor looked like he was going to kill, Xiao Liyan's brows furrowed tightly.
Since Xiao Chengzong succeeded to the throne, he has indeed killed many people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a tyrant.
In the past year, many palace maids and eunuchs serving around him have died, and it is no wonder that these minions are so afraid of him.
Of course, the concubines also died a lot, otherwise it would be impossible for Concubine Yun, who was pregnant, to kneel on the ground in fright.
"Since Uncle Huang said so, there must be someone who wants to rebel." When the emperor said this, he shouted: "Wu Guang, immediately send someone to investigate, but anyone who has two hearts will immediately report to him, I will personally interrogate him, and I will personally cut off his head to set an example." ”
"Yes." The great eunuch Wu Guang was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly responded.
From now on, if the ministers of the court and the central government want to live, they will have to slap him Wu Guang.
Countless gold, silver, and jewels were about to enter his courtyard.
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Wu is your personal eunuch, serving you all day long, where is the kung fu to take care of this? What's more, he is surrounded by some little eunuchs, who can't do these things, not to mention ...... The minister just said casually, how can anyone really dare to rebel? However, since the emperor is not at ease, he will hand over this matter to the ministers to investigate. Xiao Liyan said in a low voice.
He regretted it, regretted saying such a thing just now, so that Xiao Chengzong went crazy and actually wanted to clean the court.
If this matter is handed over to Wu Guang's bastard, I don't know how many courtiers will be unjustly killed, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Liang Dynasty is afraid that it will really be ruined.
"Okay, I'll leave it to Uncle Huang." The Emperor smiled and nodded.
Wu Guang on the side wanted to die after hearing this, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he didn't expect to be robbed by King Qi.
But King Qi is trusted and relied on by the emperor, and he did not have the slander of King Qi in the past, but the emperor didn't take it to heart, he suffered a loss, and now he doesn't dare to say more.
"Actually, I don't believe that they will rebel, Uncle Huang, you think, now this royal bloodline, there are only me and my fifth brother left, if someone really wants to pull me off the horse, who will be pushed to the throne? Fifth brother? He is a cripple, but he can't inherit the throne, and only I am worthy of reigning in the world. The Emperor said with a smile.
Xiao Liyan saw him smiling proudly, and really wanted to slap him.
It's shameless, where does this look like an emperor, it's just a hooligan!
"What the emperor said is very true." Xiao Liyan smiled and didn't laugh.
Although he admits that what the emperor said is reasonable, as long as the emperor gives birth to a son, or the fifth Xiao Chengyu gives birth to a son, won't there be a successor to the Xiao royal family, and it is not necessary for him Xiao Chengzong.
"It's still the imperial uncle who knows me best." The emperor smiled, in a good mood.
"By the way, the emperor listened to Gonggong Wu say that Yingmei committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and it is a serious crime for the concubine to commit suicide, this spread out, and people outside thought that the emperor was not good to her, which caused her to commit suicide, which was too embarrassing for the royal face, and also damaged the prestige of the emperor. Xiao Liyan looked at the emperor and said with a smile.
"Not bad." After hearing this, the emperor was also annoyed: "I treated her well, but I didn't expect her to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake for some trivial things, and she fell into injustice, which is really hateful." ”
When the emperor said this, he looked at Wu Guang on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Spread the decree, ask the He family, the men in the family will be dismissed, demoted to concubines, and they will never be allowed to take scientific examinations, and the women in the family will all be enslaved in the teaching workshop." ”
Wu Guang's eyes widened after hearing this, and he didn't dare to respond at all.
Concubine Yun, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, Yingmei is not from the He family you entered the palace, she was originally a wife of the Hanlin Academy, if you ask the guilty family, then everyone in the world knows that Yingmei was rushed into the palace by you, which will damage the emperor's reputation." ”
After hearing this, the emperor was stunned, his eyes widened and he said, "What should I do?" Could it be that I just spared her like this? ”
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to send her body back and let her husband's family be buried, so that the emperor's reputation will not be damaged, and the emperor has never robbed the minister's wife. Xiao Liyan said with a smile.
A man like Zeng Jingping, who has no power and no power, and was robbed of his daughter-in-law by the emperor, spends his days in the Hanlin Academy, and is criticized and aggrieved, so it is better to be deposed.
Moreover, the emperor's temperament is uncertain, what if one day he thinks of Yingmeiren's death, angers Zeng Jingping, and kills him with a knife?
People are from a good background, they have real skills, Xiao Liyan cherishes his talents, and he can't bear to see him end up like that.
"Okay, just according to what Uncle Huang said." When the emperor heard this, his heart was happy, and he nodded with a smile.
"It's not early, the emperor should go to the court." Xiao Liyan looked at the emperor and persuaded in a low voice.
"Don't go, I've made a decree to stop the dynasty today, if I go now, where will I go inside?" The Emperor said angrily.
