"Are you afraid that Lan Yu will be destroyed in the hands of me, Xiao Tiange? Even so, I am the one who went to hell to explain to my ancestors. How can I blame you for the crime?"
When she said this, she paused for a moment, then looked hard and said in a deep voice:
"What's more, I'm not incompetent enough to let the incident develop to that point of no return!"
Xiao Tianshang met Xiao Tiange's eyes without fear:
"I'm afraid that everything is not as expected by the emperor. Although the emperor is now the most respected person, the power of the people cannot be underestimated. If the people of the whole country rise up and rebel, their power will be
That is of course immeasurable!”
Xiao Tiange stood up from the dragon chair, then walked down the stage step by step, and stood in front of the third child. She was slightly taller than the third child, so he could lower his eyes to look at her.
"People all over the country? Jingkang, how violent, incompetent and incompetent am I? In just half a year, I can make all the people in the country revolt because they are dissatisfied with me?"
Xiao Tianshang's heart sank suddenly when she heard this. Although she didn't know what she would say next, an unknown premonition arose spontaneously.
"It's not because of the mistakes the emperor made when he repaired the river embankment, so..."
"It's a joke, no one is a sage, how can he have no faults? Besides, I didn't do that on purpose. It was because of the heavy rain for days that the water rose so fast that the embankment collapsed!"
Of course, no matter how serious the situation is, Lin Di and Mu Feng cannot be dragged into it at this moment to avoid causing unnecessary complications.
As soon as Xiao Tiange said these words, Lin Xiangzhi couldn't help but thank her even more. As Lin Di's mother, she was naturally very clear about this matter.
Xiao Tiange said this, clearly shifting the responsibility to the natural disaster, which had nothing to do with her son. Even the look in her eyes was filled with gratitude.
Of course, Xiao Tiange would do this not just for Lin Di.
What does it have to do with her whether Lin Di is alive or dead? If you say what Lin Di did to her in the past, even if you cut him into pieces, it would not be an exaggeration. However, the late emperor's words before his death awakened her.
Those who achieve great things must first put aside their personal grudges. Only in this way can they secure the throne.
As for Lin Di, it was really not a wise move to be his enemy under the current situation. Since he wanted to make peace with her, why didn't she just go along with the situation?
Otherwise, at this time, there was not only one person in the court who was against her. Perhaps, she would not even be able to sit on the throne, and would have been secretly assassinated by Lin Di.
Xiao Tianshang is determined to fight to the death:
"However, if it hadn't been for the emperor's proposal to strengthen the dams and dredge the rivers, such a tragedy would not have happened. Even though you are now the emperor, your faults cannot be covered up. You have caused such a huge disaster to the people along the coast. You
It’s hard to absolve yourself of the blame!”
After speaking, their eyes met, and they all saw the faint burning anger in their eyes. All the ministers below stood with their heads bowed and said nothing.
After a long time, Xiao Tiange curled her lips: "Okay, I understand!"
After saying this, he sat back on the dragon chair again. There was no longer a trace of smile on his face, his expression was solemn, and the domineering aura of a king was revealed.
"I have decreed that if there are any more people who spread rumors and cause trouble among the people, they will all be taken back to prison and locked up by me. It coincides with the late Emperor's visit to heaven to grant amnesty to the world. Nowadays, the prisons in all the government offices are empty. Those who have been released are
Those who have gone out may not be used to being outside and miss the days in prison. Very good, I will help them, and at worst I will continue to support them!"
Xiao Tiange was rewarded countless times, but she never thought that Xiao Tiange would actually make such a move. How many of those people were real and how many were bribed by her, she naturally knew better than anyone else.
.
How can real common people have the courage to openly oppose His Majesty the current Emperor? Even if there are a few of them, they are blinded by anger for a while. How can they dare to do so after they calm down?
"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and now the people's support is not yet stable. If you suddenly do this, you may lose the support of the people. I sincerely ask your Majesty to think again!"
Xiao Tiange snorted coldly: "It's just because of a few grains of mouse droppings that they ruined a pot of porridge. If they hadn't deceived the public with their evil words and taken the lead in making trouble, how could my subjects have rebelled against me? You don't need to say anything more.
I'll leave the matter to you. I'll give you three days. Within three days, you must quell the chaos in the capital. If you can't do it, I'll ask you!"
What is meant by stealing the chicken but losing the rice? This is what Lao San's drama was originally intended to frame Xiao Tiange. In the end, what he got was that he shot himself in the foot.
The third child was filled with anger, but as long as she did not fall down, the fight with Xiao Tiange would not stop.
Now that she is the emperor, she is just her minister, so she has no choice but to obey her orders and try to suppress all the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart.
What appeared in her mind was her father's calm and thin face, and what he said to her:
"Shang'er, endure the calm for a while, take a step back to open up the sea and the sky, and achieve great things, you must first have a heart that can accommodate all rivers, remember this!" Xiao Tianshang gritted his teeth, then bowed and clasped his fists and said: "I will live up to my promise
The Emperor wishes to arrest and bring the rebellious people to justice!"
"Do you have anything else to report to your family? If nothing happens, I will withdraw from the court!"
After hearing the words, all the ministers knelt on the ground. Xiao Tiange stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps, walked to Xiao Tianshang who was lying on the ground, stood up, and curled his lips.
Xiao Tianshang, who was lying on the ground, only saw a long dragon rising into the sky on Xiao Tiange's black cloud-patterned boots. He narrowed his eyes slightly and gritted his teeth.
Xiao Tiange, we have a long time to come. If I am here, you will not have a good life. I swear to God.
As soon as I walked out of the palace gate and got on the jade chariot, I saw a round figure standing at the corner gate. Now he is an official in the court, and there seems to be no one else with that figure except Lin Xiangzhi.
Xiao Tiange waved his hand and signaled his entourage to wait where they were, but he walked towards Lin Xiangzhi's place.
When there was still some distance between Lin Xiangzhi, the old lady hurriedly knelt down and saluted:
"Old minister, see your Majesty!"
Xiao Tiange glanced at Lin Xiangzhi who was kneeling on the ground. He did not help him personally, but casually said:
"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. Get up and speak!" Lin Xiangzhi stood up from the ground tremblingly after hearing this.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Tiange raised his head and looked at the red walls and green tiles casually, and said slowly:
"I don't think that the Prime Minister is standing at the corner gate now and admiring the red walls and green tiles inside the palace wall! The scenery outside the palace must be thousands of times better than in the closed palace!"
