However, Shen Yuan didn't seem to care about this, the playful smile on his face lingered, and then he slowly got into the car with his crutches.

Youruo followed respectfully behind him.

The carriage that came to greet Shen Yuan was naturally arranged by the empress, seeing this, Shen Yuan was not only slandered, but Ji Yaochi was really impatient.

"Lord Shen, please."

Shen Yuan entered the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Yu Ruo is naturally not qualified to ride with Shen Yuan, so he can only ride a spirit horse to protect him.

The carriage drove and soon drove into the Jiahe Palace.

At this time, the empress and Wei Qi had been waiting for a long time.

On the stone table in front of the empress, there are endless delicacies of mountains and seas, and all kinds of delicacies are dazzling.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

"Aiqing, hurry up and be polite!"

The empress greeted with a smile: "Aiqing, come, today I will be a peacemaker and hold a banquet for the prime minister and the Wei throne." ”

"Aiqing, please take a seat."

Shen Yuan sat down, and stood quietly without saying a word.

The Thousand Phantom Spirit Pupil opened, and the master forbidden army hidden in the shadows of Jiahe Palace was directly exposed to Shen Yuan's eyes at this moment.

Shen Yuan didn't break it, but just sat down after tidying up.

"Your Majesty has a heart."

"Lord Wei is very popular, I guess what happened to make Lord Wei happy, right?"

Wei Qipi smiled and didn't smile.

"What's the matter, it's just that His Majesty has warmly invited me, and I, as a courtier, feel flattered. I was deeply moved by the thought that Her Majesty the Empress had actually set up a banquet for the entanglement between you and me. ”

"Her Majesty the Empress is so sympathetic to the officials, and is willing to set up a special banquet to ease the relationship between officials, Your Majesty, isn't it the great monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty for a hundred years?"

"Prime Minister, did you say so?"

Shen Yuan chuckled: "Naturally, I am deeply honored that Your Majesty can have such a heart. ”

"Today's fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially invited two Aiqing to a banquet to enjoy the moon, hoping to return happy!"

The three of them talked eloquently, I don't know, I thought it was a long-time best friend.

"In that case, those two Aiqing, please."

The empress raised her hand and motioned for the two to have a banquet.

Shen Yuan glanced at the table full of delicacies, since the empress was going to take action against herself, it was very likely that these dishes would be poisoned.

"What? The prime minister is unwilling to appreciate his face? ”

Seeing that Shen Yuan still didn't move her chopsticks, the empress couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Your Majesty, please." Shen Yuan said lightly, "As a minister, how can you be the king." ”

I can't fault this reason, but the question is, the empress of this table of dishes is indeed drugged, how can she eat it?

"I am specially setting up a banquet for the two Aiqing, and the two Aiqing just have a good meal, so they don't need to care about me."

Wei Qi also said in a deep voice at this time: "Your Majesty let the Prime Minister eat, and the Prime Minister will move his chopsticks, is it to disobey Jun's grace?" ”

Shen Yuan sneered, but he still didn't move his chopsticks, he wanted to see what other tricks Ji Yaochi had.

Seeing that Shen Yuan did not move, the empress's face really became gloomy.

"What? Does the prime minister look down on my hard work? ”

"Your Majesty, you should be sympathetic to the people's feelings, now there is a great drought in Yanzhou, the people are miserable, and the people are not happy. Famine is everywhere, and mourning is everywhere! ”

"The people of Li are suffering from famine, and all living beings in the world are in trouble!"

"In the face of the drought in Yanzhou, what has Your Majesty done? His Majesty did not open the treasury for disaster relief, and did not set up institutions to care for the people. The upper part does not accept the mandate of heaven, and the lower part does not conform to the will of the people. So much so that now the land of Yanzhou is still hungry and cold, and the bones are heavy! ”

"Thinking that the people of Yanzhou are still starving, but there is a lot of extravagance in the imperial city, just feasting on the micro-ministers, it is full of delicacies, if these are for those homeless people, I don't know how many people can be saved, do you say yes, Your Majesty?"

At this time, the empress's face was pale, and Shen Yuan's words were all accusing the empress of inaction against the Yanzhou drought, and implying that she didn't know how to govern the country at all.

"Shen Yuan! You are presumptuous! Wei Qi said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty is worried about the affairs of Yanzhou, you don't know anything about it, so you are here to make a lot of nonsense and blaspheme the emperor's prestige, what crime should you be guilty of?!" ”

Shen Yuan slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.

"What is the sin? Hehe, what is my sin in the abyss? Isn't what I'm saying the truth? ”

The empress gritted her teeth, her tone was hideous, and she didn't bother to disguise herself with Shen Yuan.

Today, Shen Yuan will die!

"Okay, I can be the prime minister, it makes sense, the drought in Yanzhou has not been perfectly solved until now, and I am indeed to blame."

"But the prime minister secretly gathered and plotted to usurp the throne, this should always be guilty, right?"

Shen Yuan is still the same light and breezy appearance.

"I don't remember what rallies I had."

At this time, Shen Yuan had even completely stopped calling himself a minister, but called himself me.

"Shen Yuan! Don't pretend to be confused, Shen Ren is my pawn, he told me everything about the meeting of your Shen family, your Shen family blasphemed the emperor's prestige and conspired to usurp the throne! According to the law, punish the nine tribes! ”

"The law?" Shen Yuan sneered, "What law, who made the law?" ”

"Naturally, it's my Northern Qi Law!" Wei Qi reprimanded angrily, "What are you pretending to be confused, it is naturally the law of the Northern Qi Dynasty formulated by the Liuli Empress since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty!" ”

"Since it is the law formulated by the Liuli Empress, then let the Liuli Empress obey it, why should I, Shen Yuan, obey this so-called law?"

"Shen Yuan! You are presumptuous! The Empress said hurriedly, "The laws of Northern Qi formulated by the Empress Liuli are a symbol of justice in Northern Qi, how can you talk nonsense here?!" ”

Shen Yuan got up: "Justice? It's ridiculous. “

"The law is just a tool formulated by your Northern Qi Ji clan to restrain the people of Li. With the law, there will be order in Northern Qi, and with order, there will be stability in Northern Qi. And stability is what you want to see. ”

"You want to be stable all the time, so that no existence can challenge your imperial power."

"If the grass robbers of Northern Qi violate your order, then they will be greeted by a butcher's knife called the law, but if it is you people from the Ji clan, presumably the law is just a piece of paper, right?"

"The law is never justice, the law is just order!"

"And the real powerhouse, that must be above the rules and order! A guy who is bound by rules and order will never be able to become a real powerhouse! ”

"Your Majesty the Empress, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, you don't know the people's opinions, you don't understand the people's feelings, and I am deeply ashamed. It's all my fault. ”

"I didn't protect Your Majesty well, so that Your Majesty was confused by those chaotic ministers and thieves."

Shen Yuan's dangerous gaze turned to Wei Qi, and it was self-evident who the chaotic thief in his mouth was referring to.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, in the future, you will not be affected by these rebels and thieves."

The empress was furious and pointed straight at the abyss.

"Shen Yuan! What the hell do you want to do?! Are you trying to rebel? “

Shen Yuan got up, took off his disguise, and the gentle smile on his face disappeared completely.

In his eyes, there was endless indifference and killing intent.

"Your Majesty misunderstood me, I am loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I can learn from the sun and the moon. How could I possibly rebel? I just want ......"

"Qing-Jun-Side——!"
