"Your Majesty, General Sun is busy with military affairs here. Would you like to send someone to help?"
The implication of the prince's words was to send supervisory troops. Yamazaki understood and directly refused.
"It doesn't matter, I have a princess."
"God bless you."
The prince realized that General Sun had been fighting against the two rebels, King Shun and King Xi for many years, so he could understand their strength.
These two thieves have been in the world for many years, but they were eliminated within two days, which shows the strength of Princess Changxing.
General Sun would not dare to have second thoughts, otherwise the two traitors, King Shun and King Xi, would serve as a warning to others.
…
On the third day, when Princess Changxing returned to court, the white crane landed directly outside the palace and came forward to announce the news.
Princess Changxing was ordered to kill the two leaders of the rebels. With the blessing of God and great blessings from Your Majesty, she returned victorious and came here to pay the order.
Proclaim!
Princess Xuan Changxing meets here!
Princess Changxing went to the palace to kowtow and recite her merits. My son and I came here to pay the order.
The emperor granted her a reward, titled her the princess of the auxiliary country, gave her a princess mansion, and she was promoted to a royal palace.
…
When rebels are put to death, the bandits should be excluded.
Yamazaki chuckled and said: "Today the Qing country has no master, and all the disciples are fighting for the throne."
"I heard that King Narui and his sister-in-law conspired to help his son ascend the throne. Do you know who the bloodline of the nine sons of Naqing Kingdom is?"
"Although Huang and Qing are enemy countries, I cannot see such unethical things."
"Draft a decree to make the eldest son of the Qing Kingdom the Western Khan. He will be allowed to graze in the grassland and desert at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains."
(That place has nothing to do with Huang now.)
"Whenever you need something, just bring it."
(Whether or not you agree is another matter. How you agree is another matter.)
"Although Huang and Qing are enemy countries, I remember that his life experience is pitiful, and I am willing to help him win the throne before deciding the outcome."
(Before he seized the throne, he was probably killed by his uncle. He didn't know how to take action at first, but now he has to take action, and it will be right away.)
"That's it, let's retreat."
…
After the emperor left, the ministers went down to court in a daze, and most of them had not turned their heads.
Some officials even shouted indignantly, "How can you give a seal to an enemy!"
Xun Lanyin, who was hiding at the side, was thoughtful. I'm afraid this was a rift, but this man was quite capable.
…
When the news spread to the Qing Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom suddenly became even more chaotic.
Prince Rui had an affair with his concubine and gave birth to the current little emperor, so he decided to make this ninth son the emperor.
This was originally just a matter of speculation, but now it has been made clear.
It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, what matters is that the whole world thinks so.
The head of the former king is now green. No matter how wise he was, he would still be the laughing stock of the world.
The most ridiculous thing in the world!
The prestige of the Qing people among the tribes in the grassland has plummeted, and the prestige of the former leader's tribe has also fallen to the bottom among the tribes in the Black Mountains and White Waters.
On the other hand, the tribes who respected the former leader of the country moved closer to the eldest son. They did not care about politics and repaid favors and revenge.
If they were all the children of the former king, then that would be fine. Since they are not, it would be clear who to choose.
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Prince Rui immediately made a decisive decision and struck preemptively.
However, because many people secretly set things off, the eldest son of the emperor successfully escaped with the help of many supporters.
However, the elites have suffered a lot and are temporarily unable to fight for it.
King Rui's move confirmed that he had a problem. Faced with the accusations from the leaders of various tribes, he couldn't explain it clearly and simply launched a purge to force everyone to take sides.
…
In just three days, the Qing Kingdom lost nearly half of its national power, and the strengths of the Shu and Qing Kingdoms seemed to have reversed.
The ministers of the Shu Kingdom were so excited that they came forward to attack him one after another.
Yamasaki was too lazy to watch and asked the princes and princes to stop him. The next day, the princes and princes were regarded as a traitor to the country by the officials.
There were a lot of petitioners outside the palace, and they were just kneeling, looking indomitable.
But Yamazaki knows their little plan. They are vying to be a clear stream, a direct minister, and want to leave a name in history.
Yamazaki was too lazy to worry about it, so he decided to finish tonight's banquet first.
…
At the palace night banquet, all the officials arrived, including their families.
The most remarkable thing is that the internal and external worries seem to be gone, and the atmosphere is more festive than during the Chinese New Year.
It’s the food that makes people frown, four plates of radish greens, one plate of fish, and only half a slice.
It's something that the concierge at home won't eat, so I'll just make do with it. The imperial wine is really good and fragrant.
…
If you respect God, God will bless you.
drink!
Second respect for the land, may the land of Da Shu have a good harvest.
drink!
Dear friends, thank you for your hard work.
drink!
Seeing all the officials and their families downing three cups of royal wine, Yamazaki put down his wine cup and bowed in salute.
"My dear friends, please forgive me, this wine is poisonous."
"puff!"
Everyone in the hall turned pale, and those who were greedy spit out the wine in their mouths.
"Your Majesty, don't make such jokes."
Yamazaki said: "I'm not joking. This medicine is my secret recipe. It won't kill people, but it will make people want to die in the future."
"My dear friends, I think you know that I am suspicious. If you want your minister to die, I will have to die, but I want to verify it today."
"If you think this is correct, please stand on the left side. If you think this is wrong, please stand on the right side."
"The one standing on the right won't die, he's just ransacking his house.
"The one standing on the left is not fine either. He is also searching his house."
"Why? You all have also seen these dishes on the table. The food I, the emperor, eat must be worse than the servants in your house."
"If I don't take advantage of you, these murderous people who are full of people's wealth, I won't be able to swallow my breath!"
While there was an uproar in the palace and whispers, someone shouted, "Your Majesty's statement is completely false. How can the emperor and the saints sit in the world and compete for benefits with the people!"
Yamazaki laughed, "I am going to compete today. What do you want, Aiqing? Rebellion? Depose the emperor?"
"Come on, one of my beloveds will take the lead and jump out. I'm waiting to confiscate your family and exterminate your family."
"Family property fills the national treasury, men are slaves, and women are sent to the army."
The faces of everyone in the palace turned dark, and the historian shouted, "How will your Majesty's actions be recorded in the history books of future generations?"
"I don't care, I only know that I have no money and my life can't go on anymore. I don't want to eat salted fish every day, and I don't want to wear a patched dragon robe."
Yamazaki untied his dragon robe, poked it with his finger, and opened a patch.
"I use you as officials to govern the world. You have enough food and clothing, but you make me so embarrassed. If I don't take care of you, what is the law of heaven!"
"Where is Cao Aiqing?"
"The minister is here!"
Eunuch Cao led a team to the palace, all wearing armor.
"Cao Qing, your Majesty will supervise the affairs of your Majesty. You must not use torture. You must not neglect three meals a day. You must have three wotou and a handful of salted beans."
"Yes, the minister has decreed that even if he doesn't have anything to eat, he will definitely make sure all of you are well fed."
"Okay, I'm tired."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
…
Outside the palace, Xun Lan held back her laughter. The emperor was so funny. He must have been holding back for a long time.
It's true that the emperor can only eat salted fish. It's no wonder that he has so much resentment towards the officials.
Just doing this may not be beneficial to the country of Shu, nor is it beneficial to himself.
…
After Yamazaki left the main hall, the manager, Eunuch Fang, asked where he was going back.
The implication is, do you want to go to the concubine's place to relax?
Yamazaki naturally went back to his study, he was not the real emperor.
At night, the news spread to the backyard, and the concubines came to plead for mercy.
Yamazaki and others were almost here, and then he came forward to assure them that they would not harm the safety of their clansmen. Even if something really happened, as long as it was not about human life, they would be spared.
Even if he takes the case of human life, he will not be executed, let alone imprisoned.
Only those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country will be able to handle official business.
