The emperor looked at Lin Xixue in surprise, obviously not expecting her to say these words, and he didn't know how to reply.
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
The ministers exhorted in unison, and the sound became louder and louder, almost turning into substance, squeezing and solidifying the surrounding air, making people breathless.
"Zheng!" The clear sound of gold and iron rang out, tearing apart the voices of the civil servants.
The splitting of light and breaking of the night has come out of its sheath.
"How? To kill, or not to kill?" Lin Xixue had no compassion on her face and just asked coldly.
"Witch!" An old minister who was kneeling at the front suddenly stood up and yelled, "Even if you kill all of us today, you can't stop the world from talking about it!"
"Women are not allowed to enter the court to ask for political advice. This has been the truth since ancient times! You, a witch, take advantage of the grace of the saint and try to become a prince. Even if I die today, I will die to remonstrate to the saint!" The old minister said more and more
The more excited he became, the spittle flew out, covering his gray beard.
"Since ancient times?" Lin Xixue couldn't help but sneer, "How old is the history of Yunzhou?"
"a hundred years?"
"Three hundred years?"
As Lin Xixue asked, she slowly walked up to the old minister, picked up Diguang Duanye, and put it on his neck.
"You said that women are not allowed to enter the court and ask for political advice. This has been true since ancient times? So today I will tell you another truth that has never changed."
"The truth only exists on these three-foot green peaks."
Lin Xixue raised her neck slightly and said with a look of disdain: "How? Now, can women enter the court to ask questions about politics, and can they be made marquises by generals?"
The chorus of shouts from all the civil servants suddenly stopped at this moment, and everyone stared at the blade in Lin Xixue's hand.
However, the old minister was not afraid. He raised his head, with a stern look in his eyes, and said provocatively: "Kill me if you have the ability?!"
"Ha..." Lin Xixue smiled instead of getting angry, "Do you think that since you are the oldest and have the most leverage among the civil servants, the Yunzhou government and the public will be in chaos without you?"
Hearing Lin Xixue's words, the old minister couldn't hide his pride and said sarcastically: "It's good that you know, this Yunzhou..."
However, before he finished speaking, he felt that the world in front of him was upside down, and then there was a muffled "dong" in his ears, and he didn't know anything anymore.
Lin Xixue took out her handkerchief, wiped away the blood stains on the blade, and faced the ministers, but she seemed to be saying to herself: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree with women entering the government, just find someone else who agrees.
"
"You say, yes or no?" This time, Lin Xixue asked a group of civil servants.
There was dead silence all around, and no one dared to respond to her questions.
"Why, you're so scared that you don't dare to speak? Just now, didn't each of you kneel down and remonstrate with death?"
"I'm here to do the work of An Guogong, who else is against it?"
"I...I, I object..." A young civil servant stood up tremblingly.
Lin Xixue couldn't help but be a little surprised. She thought that if she killed the leader with thunderous means, the rest of the mob would disperse on their own, but she didn't expect that anyone would dare to step forward?
She squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and saw that this young civil servant was probably in his early twenties. Although he stood up at this moment, he was trembling everywhere.
Seeing this scene, she still didn't know that this young man didn't stand up on his own initiative at all. It was probably someone who grabbed him and ordered him to come out and die.
But I saw the young man took a few deep breaths, then walked past the ministers, walked to Lin Xixue, mustered up his courage, and said again: "I object!"
Lin Xixue chuckled lightly and asked, "Why?"
"Ah? Why?" The young man was obviously overly nervous, and his mind went blank at the moment.
"What's the reason for the objection? Is it also from ancient times?"
"I...I, I don't know..." The young man didn't seem to expect that Lin Xixue would ask him such a question. He had already mustered up the courage to step forward to die, but he didn't expect that Lin Xixue would ask him such a question.
Lin Xixue actually planned to argue with him.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Lin Xixue saw a middle-aged civil servant with a gloomy face not far away, and suddenly let out a low "tsk".
She instantly guessed that this middle-aged civil servant was the culprit who instigated the young man to go to his death, so she smiled lightly and patted the young man on the shoulder and said: "Before you seek death next time, remember to find a good reason first."
After saying that, he passed the young man and walked straight to the middle-aged civil servant not far away.
When the young man saw that Lin Xixue didn't kill him, he became nervous. He suddenly grabbed Lin Xixue's wrist and tried to kill him with her knife.
But Lin Xixue's thunder body had already begun to take shape, and his arms were filled with pure Yang spiritual energy. He could touch them, but he was so hot that he sat down on the ground in just an instant and kept shaking his hands.
Lin Xixue looked at him with a half-smile, shook her head helplessly, flicked her sleeves, and continued walking towards the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw Lin Xixue approaching, his breathing became more and more rapid, his legs trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lin Xixue put away the light and cut off the night, lifted up her skirt, leaned down, and looked at the middle-aged civil servant with her chin in her hands, saying with interest: "Let me guess, what excuse did you use to get him to make him willing to go?"
Where's death?"
"That must be something more painful than his own death. Could it be his family?" Lin Xixue smiled even more, her eyes narrowed into a thin line.
The middle-aged civil servant's pupils shrank, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Humph, I have no idea what you are talking about? Just kill me if you want, why bother to find these unfounded charges on me!"
"Is this an unfounded crime..." She stood up, looked at the young man sitting on the ground, and asked, "Do you want to tell the truth?"
"Of course I don't intend to force you. You can choose to help him hide it, and I will let him go because there is no evidence. Your family will continue to be used by him as a tool to blackmail you."
The young man looked struggling, clenching his fists, completely ignoring the burnt and peeling palms, and tried his best to squeeze out two words from his throat: "Sister."
"This is nonsense. You must not listen to his words!"
The veins on the young man's neck popped out, and he roared like a wild beast: "My sister is imprisoned in Master Zhou's house!"
"Oh, it turns out your surname is Zhou, so Mr. Zhou, do you still need me to go to your house to confirm?" Lin Xixue leaned down again and looked at the middle-aged civil servant surnamed Zhou with extremely kind eyes.
The civil servant surnamed Zhou's lips turned black and blue from fear, and his teeth kept chattering, making a "click-click" sound.
"Lord Zhou, are you acquiescing then?" Lin Xixue's smile was as warm as the spring sun, as if there was no murderous intention, but all the civil servants present were frightened.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, coercing the imperial officials." Lin Xixue stood up, walked to the emperor's side, and said jokingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to punish this crime?"
The emperor's face was quite ugly at the moment, and he pursed his lips without saying a word. He really didn't want to fall out with all the civil servants.
Lin Xixue's face hardened, and she asked sternly: "So, do you want to punish the crime, or not?"
"Are you going to continue to stay in your palace and be your useless emperor? Are you going to continue to tolerate it in exchange for those pitiful and humble days of peace?"
"I'll ask you again."
"To kill or not to kill!"
"Okay!" The emperor also roared angrily, and the dragon's power stirred up the wind and swept the surrounding areas. "I will take this Zhou Mao Ge and throw him into the sky prison. I will choose a day..."
