Chapter 840 Hunger Strike
"Again?"
Yan Mu leaned back in his chair and said, "Then let them go."
Shangguan Xu frowned, "I'm afraid that if there is another old sacrificial wine, our civil servants can't all be in trouble!"
"One person can hit it, but a group of people can't."
"Why?"
"The reason why a group of people is so powerful is just to embolden others. The law does not punish everyone. It is impossible for the emperor to really kill them all for their crimes, and also implicate the nine tribes."
Having said this, Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Just wait and see what happens."
Outside Chengtian Palace, the ministers sat down in rows, led by cabinet scholar Wu Min. Compared to sitting outside the upper study room before, the weather was hotter and hotter now, and everyone was covered in sweat soon.
"Everyone, hold on, let the Emperor see our determination." Wu Min said to the ministers behind him.
The ministers nodded repeatedly, "No one can retreat at this time."
However, the situation outside was like this. Inside, there was indeed singing and laughter, and the sound of drums could be clearly heard. The ministers lowered their heads to cover up their anger.
I sat like this for a whole day. When it got dark, the main hall door finally opened, and out came Meng Guiren, who was dressed in tulle and with an enchanting figure. She stood on the steps and looked down at the ministers, looking at them all in a state of embarrassment.
He looked so miserable that he covered his mouth and laughed.
"Meng Guiren, why are you laughing?" Wu Min raised his head and asked.
Meng Guiren folded his arms and said with a smile: "I look at you all like drowned rats. No, more like old dogs that have been soaked in the rain. Anyway, it is very funny and very funny!"
Wu Min's face turned green, "I would like to ask Mr. Meng to send a message to the saint and ask him to withdraw his intention to build the Moon Tower."
"I don't agree."
"Mother Wang puts the overall situation first!"
"What's the big picture?"
"Of course the security of the country is at stake!"
"I don't understand."
"you!"
"I just want to pick up the moon tower. I can pick up the stars with my hands. The higher the tower, the better." After saying that, she lowered her head and glanced at the ministers. Seeing that they were all shaking with anger, she smiled even more.
He said cheerfully, "You want to go on a hunger strike, right? Then I won't let anyone bring you food or drink."
After saying that, Meng Guiren turned around and entered Chengtian Palace again, and soon the music started playing again.
That night, Yan Mu stayed in the study room. He didn't sleep much that night. There were older ministers who couldn't bear the fainting, so he arranged for the guards to send them home.
One day, near noon, all the ministers were dried up in the sun and fell down one by one.
At this time, Concubine An suddenly rushed into Chengtian Palace with a sword. Regardless of the guards' obstruction, she pushed open the door of the main hall and rushed in. When everyone was stunned, she caught the noble Meng and chopped him down.
"Vixen! You confuse the Holy One and intend to destroy my great glory. See if I don't kill you!"
Concubine An knew kung fu, but the guards blocked her and she couldn't succeed for a while.
Meng Guiren was so frightened that he hid in the emperor's arms and cried: "Your Majesty, save me, I am so scared!"
The emperor was so angry that he turned blue, "Concubine An, are you crazy? If you want to kill her, kill me first!"
"Your Majesty, she wants to harm you and Da Rong!"
Concubine An tried to persuade the emperor while fighting with the guards, but the emperor couldn't listen at all.
"My daughter, she knows how to take care of the overall situation at a young age. What are you doing as a father? She is afraid of marriage, but she has never flinched. She said that she is the tenth princess. For the sake of great honor and the common people, she is willing to shoulder this responsibility.
Responsibility! But as for you, you favor this vixen and don’t distinguish between right and wrong, which chills the hearts of your loyal ministers. You don’t even care about Da Rong’s life and death. You..."
"Concubine An is so arrogant and won't shut up!"
Yan Mu arrived in time to interrupt Concubine An. When she was about to speak, he winked at her.
"Since the Queen mentioned the Tenth Princess, she should be more considerate of her."
One sentence made An Fei shut up. She was indeed impulsive and did not think through the consequences.
"Father, Concubine An is disrespectful to you, so she should be grounded and reflect on herself," Yan Mu said.
"Humph, this is not disrespectful at all, it is extremely disrespectful!" The emperor shouted.
"And she wants to kill me!" Meng Guiren Jiao Didi said.
Yan Mu and the others in the outer hall clearly heard the emperor's soft words coaxing the dreamer, one mouthful at a time, one at a time for his treasure. Concubine An's face turned dark again, and her hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened again and again.
"Concubine An deliberately killed someone, and the one she killed was my noble dreamer. She should be put to death!" the emperor said.
"emperor!"
"Prince, you'd better not plead for her!"
Yan Mu took a deep breath and said: "I don't want to plead for Concubine An, but the tenth princess is going to Beijin to get married. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if the biological mother is newly buried?"
"Just don't let the ten princesses attend the funeral."
"But the tenth princess and Concubine An have a deep relationship as mother and daughter. They married into Beijin for the sake of the overall situation. On the wedding day, they remembered their kindness and cried. I'm afraid the Emperor of Beijin will feel unlucky."
The inner hall was quiet, and after a moment he said: "Then let's go to the cold palace!"
Yan Mu glanced at Concubine An and saw that she was still angry and shook his head at her.
After Concubine An left, Yan Mu took another look at the civil servants outside, and said inside: "Father, building the Moon Tower at this time will inevitably arouse public anger."
"Why, you also want to object?"
"But postpone it for two years, until the war in Biennan is over?"
"I just want to build a pavilion, that's all. I can't even decide on such a trivial matter. Maybe you have forgotten that I am the supreme monarch of Da Rong, and I am the master of this world!"
"Father..."
"I am going to build this Zhaiyue Tower. If I can, I will make them all hit the pillars and starve to death!"
This was so true that not only Yan Mu, but also the civil servants outside heard it.
He was so impulsive that he actually stood up and wanted to hit the pillar, but luckily he was stopped by the minister beside him.
At this time, Meng Guiren walked out from inside, wearing a tulle, with her hair loose, looking charming. She glanced outside, laughing non-stop, and there were no traces of being frightened when An Fei was chasing her with a sword.
I guess I was just pretending.
"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to go back to the study and do your own business. Don't interfere."
Yan Mu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Meng Guiren, do you still remember what I said to you?"
Meng Guiren thought for a while, then opened his eyes in feigning fear, "You said you wanted to kill me."
"I don't remember, but I still ask Lord Meng to be careful. Even deep in the palace, it may not be safe."
"Oh, I'm so scared!"
"Meng Guiren doesn't seem to be afraid."
"I'm obviously very scared, how can I act?"
Yan Mu laughed and said, "Let's do it tonight, Mr. Meng must have a good dream and don't wake up from it."
After saying that, Yan Mu walked out.
"Well, Your Highness, what you said is too scary. I'm so scared. But the emperor will be so sad when he is killed. Once he is sad, what if he goes on a killing spree? In fact, it's not that bad to pick up the moon tower.
It cannot be built, what do you think, Your Highness?"
Yan Mu turned his head, and Meng Guiren looked at him with a smile on his face.
“How can we not build it?”
