Chapter 887 Don't dare to test the hearts of the people with your life
After the ceremony, Meng Yinqin did not let Ye Xiao let go of the fourth prince, but took him directly back to the imperial study.
After a while, Ye Feng and others also captured the people who wanted to cause trouble today, the bodies of the fleeing assassins, and the people who ambush them.
For the sake of the Supreme Emperor, all the courtiers were dismissed, leaving only the royal family members present.
Zang Xi's acupuncture points were released, and he turned around to see the person he arranged kneeling at the door of the imperial study room, and he immediately knew something was wrong.
Especially the counselor kowtowed crazily at Meng Yinqin.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
"His Royal Highness is responsible for what happened today. Bah, it was His Highness the Fourth Prince who forced us to plan it!"
Zang Xi looked at him coldly: "His Highness has not asked you to take the blame, why are you panicking?"
The counselor did not dare to raise his head, and lay on the ground trembling: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Zang Xi looked at Meng Yin and Qin said coldly: "Okay, so what if I was the one who planned all this? Are you going to kill me?"
Meng Yinqin shook his head: "No, I asked someone to bring you here today because I owe you an apology!"
"On the day of the sacrifice, we were in a hurry and didn't have time to talk about it, and we never met again after that!"
"In short, I couldn't help but feel sorry for you first about Yuehen. It was because I didn't come back immediately in order to stabilize the situation of the imperial edict. This gave you the opportunity to be tempted and led to today's situation!
"
"Therefore, I owe you an apology, and I also thank you for carrying the responsibility and hope for me, the royal family, and the entire Yanchu these years!"
Zang Xi looked at him in shock. For some reason, a sourness suddenly surged out of his nose, which almost made him unable to open his eyes.
He gritted his teeth to hold back the inexplicable uncomfortable feeling, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I will forgive you because you are acting so coquettishly?"
Meng Yinqin didn't care about his title, but turned around and let Ye Feng bring the captured people over.
"However, the apology I owe you is my business alone, and has nothing to do with the courtiers and people of Yanchu, nor the other royal heirs!"
"And if you have resentment, hatred and unwillingness, you should act against me alone. Why do you want people to use poison to disrupt the ceremony? Have you ever thought about how many people will die innocently and tragically if you can't control it?"
"Don't you know that blue scorpion poison can be sexually transmitted? Or are you sacrificing innocent people just to prove that I am not worthy of sitting in this position when I encounter so-called natural and man-made disasters as soon as I ascend the throne?"
"Have you forgotten the responsibilities and burdens you carried when you were the Prince of Yanchu? Or is it because you never thought that I would come back one day, so you feel that my appearance has disrupted your future life, so
Do you want to hate me and the people together?"
Every time he said a word, Zang Xi's face turned pale.
At the end, Zang Xi looked at Meng Yinqin as if he were looking at a devil.
Yes, that's right, he could have chosen to target only the emperor instead of disturbing the people's hearts with poison.
He can also assassinate, poison, bribe people in the harem, bribe young eunuchs, and try various methods.
But...he didn't dare after all.
The Yanchu royal family’s admiration for the moon mark is not an empty talk, nor is it a nonsense.
Zang Xi could foresee that if he really did this, he would probably be rewarded with all kinds of betrayal.
This is why he listened to his counselor's advice and chose to mess with the people first.
However, no matter how much Meng Yinqin apologized, he could not forgive him.
He could no longer even look directly at the scene where the royal family was controlled by Yuehen.
"You are all crazy!"
Zang Xi suddenly yelled: "You are all crazy!!"
"Don't you realize that you have been controlled by an unreasonable force? Yuehen Yuehen Yuehen, what the hell is that thing? How can its existence determine the successor of my Yanchu royal family? Why?"
"You are all hopeless, hopeless——"
Meng Yinqin interrupted him: "As a person selected by Yuehen, even if I step down today, I will not fight you in a way that hurts the people and innocent people!"
Zang Xi roared: "That's because you are still in this position, so you think you can love the people so much. If you have the ability, come down and try it?"
Before Meng Yinqin could speak, the Supreme Emperor said angrily: "Someone, drag the fourth prince down and throw him into a dark prison!"
"You are so stubborn that I think you are hopeless!"
The fourth prince looked at his father blankly and remained silent for a long time. Then he was dragged out of the imperial study by the guards.
The other princes lowered their heads silently and said nothing.
In fact, they had never thought about why the royal family had to use Yuehen as the only choice for inheritance.
If they can compete fairly, they may not be able to compare with the fourth prince, nor can they compare with the current new emperor!
However, they didn't even have a chance to compete.
Of course, there are brothers who have lofty ambitions and are unwilling to be an idle prince, so they strive to go upstream to the emperor and strive for that bit of power, but there are also people who, because of this, don't even bother to have the thought of struggle.
No matter how hard you try, you have to stop at that position, so why can't you live easily the way you want?
Meng Yinqin watched Zang Xi being dragged down indifferently, then looked at the other princes, and said: "You should also know that during the Great Imperial Period, I served as the regent to assist the Great Imperial Emperor in attending to state affairs.
There is only one dragon chair between us and the Holy One!"
"I also know that the national conditions of Yanchu are different from those of Da Zhao, and they cannot be generalized, but I also need a regent!"
The Supreme Emperor immediately said: "Absolutely not. We, Yanchu, already have two prime ministers on the left and right, and the Yushitai is well established. There is no need for another regent to share power with the emperor!"
If it really counts, isn't this old man the regent?
Meng Yinqin shook his head and said: "The regent I want will not only handle the affairs of the DPRK and China with me, but also need to go back and forth between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and pay attention to the situation there for me!"
"Didn't the Supreme Emperor realize that the sky is high and the Emperor is far away over there?"
In fact, he had thought about this before coming to Yanchu.
He originally speculated on why the other side still respects the emperor here, but now he has a less clear answer, that is, relying on Yuehen's inheritance, the other side can barely accept that there is only one emperor.
But the fact that Prince Xiao rushed over to snatch Qin Jiaoxi from him without being summoned made him realize more deeply that the other side and this side were not only separated by the sea, but also separated by hearts!
"Does the Supreme Emperor know who is acting as the agent of the government on the other side of the river now?"
Zang Haichuan thought for a while: "Prince Xiao!"
Meng Yinqin asked again: "But has the Supreme Emperor seen the relationship between the Marquis of Ding'an and Prince Xiao?"
Zang Haichuan's pupils shrank: "They...are a little difficult to deal with, right?"
Otherwise, the Marquis of Ding'an would not have come to impose the identity of a grandson on the young master Shang for the sake of the emperor, so that he could marry the princess openly and honestly.
But Meng Yinqin shook his head and said: "No, they have a very good relationship!"
