Chapter 621: The King and His Ministers Confronted Each Other with Death
Leng Rongyue blinked her beautiful big eyes and shook her head slightly.
Leng Rongyue thought to herself, I'd better not guess!
Listening to Xiao Jingyu's detailed narration is like listening to a story, which is actually quite interesting.
Unconsciously, Leng Rongyue herself did not realize...
She just listened to Xiao Jingyu's gentle words of comfort, saying...
In recent days, I have been feeling tangled and depressed, but gradually I began to relax.
Xiao Jingyu chuckled and continued, "Those old stories...
I heard it quietly from Yu Feng and Feng Guang who were beside my father a few years ago..."
Leng Rongyue opened her eyes wide, waiting for Xiao Jingyu to continue speaking with great interest.
"In the early years after my father ascended the throne, the court officials tried their best to force him to choose a concubine. They pestered him and refused to give up until they achieved their goal!
There are indeed a few important officials among them——
They either submitted memorials or made presentations in person...
Jumping up and down every day, waving flags and shouting, he works the hardest.
Some of them are indeed old-fashioned and conservative, always talking about the so-called ancestral rules;
It is said that as an emperor, one cannot have only one concubine as his favorite;
He wanted to take in more concubines, treat them equally, and expand the royal family.
These people are fine.
Some people are simply motivated by selfish motives!
To put it bluntly, they just wanted to send their daughters to the palace to win favor;
They hope that their daughters can work for the future and power of their fathers, brothers and family.
Seeing that my father remained unmoved despite all the tricks they tried, they thought of threatening him with death.
They said: They would rather risk their lives to give advice in order to awaken the emperor who was deceived by the queen and achieve the purpose of awakening the deaf and dumb."
"what?
They actually threatened his life... to force the emperor to submit?
How dare they?
Then, among them... among those court officials, did any of them really lose their lives for this?"
Leng Rongyue asked curiously.
"No, none at all."
Xiao Jingyu replied with a smile.
"So they...are just trying to scare the emperor?"
Leng Rongyue asked again.
Xiao Jingyu shook his head, "That's not the case.
There were actually a few people who were willing to risk their lives to make suggestions.
Seeing that my father refused to listen to their advice, they claimed that they had already prepared a coffin at home.
If the emperor is stubborn and refuses to listen, then they will smash their heads and die, and their blood will splatter all over the Golden Palace!"
Leng Rongyue really wanted to roll her eyes!
This is really speechless, okay?
“Is this…is this still a court official?
They actually... actually want to force the emperor to listen to them?
If I give in to their threats...
I'm afraid we'll just have to give in step by step in the future!"
"Yue'er is right!"
Xiao Jingyu nodded.
“My father is certainly aware of this.
Besides, my father is the emperor of Jingyue Kingdom and also my mother’s husband!
As the emperor, he was threatened by the court officials;
As a husband, I cannot protect my wife and I cannot keep my promise to her...
Is this still the emperor and my husband?
If the court officials threatened him with death and blood, he, the emperor, would immediately bow his head and obey obediently...
Then you don’t need to be the emperor of this country anymore, just be a puppet!”
"That's right!
So... how did the Emperor do it?"
Leng Rongyue asked curiously.
"Didn't they say... that they already had a coffin ready at home, ready to spill blood in the Golden Palace at any time?
My father heard it and without further ado, he gave the order:
Let Yu Feng immediately take people to prepare a thin-skinned coffin and carry it to the Golden Palace;
The thin-skin coffin was placed in the center of the Golden Throne Hall.
My father said directly to those who jumped the most happily: "I can't break the oath I made just because you threatened to die.
If you continue to persecute...
Well, if you want to bang your head against the pillar, go ahead.
If you want to hit the wall, go ahead and hit it;
Anyone who wants to take poison can do so.
As long as one of you dies in the Golden Palace, I will die with you.
When the time comes, the historians will record this matter in the history books!
To put it bluntly, don’t you just want your daughter to enter the palace?
Do you want your daughter to stir up trouble in the harem and help you seize power in the previous dynasty?
As an official in the court and an important minister of the country, he did not think about devoting himself to the country and the people;
Instead, for his own selfish desires, he forced the king to death in the palace!
I want to see who among you...
Her heroic act of forcing the king to take a concubine and even his death will go down in history!
When the court officials heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.
Let’s not talk about whether they want to crash into death or not;
Dare you drink poison?
Are they willing to give up the wealth and power they pursue...
Even if we take a step back, they really dare to die...
If it is for justice, their desire to die is justified...
They may even leave their names in history;
He left a name in history as a man who died to advise the emperor.
However, if they threatened the emperor with death just for their own hidden ambitions, and eventually forced him to death...
Hehe... if they force the emperor to death, not a single one of their nine clans will survive;
What will be recorded in history books will be a disgrace forever!
Because they, as ministers, actually forced the emperor to bleed in the Golden Palace...
From ancient times to the present, has there ever been a wise minister who left a good reputation by forcing their emperor to death? "
