At this moment, Zhu Feng stood on the tall altar, looking at the concubines kneeling at his feet, and the officials kneeling below.
There was still no expression on his face.
However, Nan Yan seemed to see a needle-like thorn in his deep and pitch-black pupils.
He suddenly laughed and said: "On weekdays, when discussing government affairs, civil and military officials are not as neat as they are now."
"..."
"If the enemy country invades, you will still quarrel."
"..."
"Why, I canonized a noble concubine, and you all worked together."
"..."
The officials below all look at me, and I look at you.
At this time, Cheng Guogong Wu Yingqiu raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is because the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed, and the legacy of Emperor Gao cannot be violated!"
"..."
"In order to protect my Great Yan Dynasty forever, the emperor must not allow a foreign woman to enter the harem!"
As soon as his words fell, the people around him immediately echoed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Si Nanyan must not be canonized."
"The law of the ancestors cannot be changed!"
"Emperor Gao's last instruction is not to let a foreign woman be a concubine!"
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
…
These neat, oppressive words spread over the imperial city.
As if an invisible palm pressed hard on everyone's heads, Nan Yan felt that her whole body was about to be crushed.
However, that hand that seems to have been supporting her behind has always given her a little strength not to fall down.
She didn't even know if it really existed or if it was her own imagination.
Because from the beginning to the end, Zhu Feng had no expression on his face.
He just looked at everyone around him coldly.
That handsome face, as handsome as a god's, also carried the evil spirit of a god of war, and said coldly: "You all already know the truth? Are you so sure?"
Someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the facts are already in front of you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Si Nanyan is from the country of Tan!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials below all cried and shouted together.
He kowtowed again and again, even until his head was bleeding.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty cannot change the law of the ancestors!"
"If the emperor does not agree, the old minister will wait here to die!"
"Think twice, Your Majesty!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Zheng stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are outraged, aren't they—"
Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
He took a step forward slowly, looked at the shouting officials below, and said, "You guys, don't you want me to think twice?"
"..."
"Can."
"..."
"Every day, I examine myself three times."
"..."
"It's just that I don't know how long I want to think about it."
"..."
"If you want to kneel, just kneel here."
After speaking, he turned and left.
As soon as he left, there was a gust of cold wind, and Nan Yan swayed slightly, almost falling, but fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu rushed over and supported her.

The canonization ceremony of the noble concubine was interrupted like this.
It's not complete, because no one has been canonized as a concubine.
It's not over either.
Because, ever since the emperor left the hall, the civil and military officials who came to congratulate him have been kneeling under the dan ridge, constantly petitioning upwards.
Everyone is yelling—
Please think twice, Your Majesty!
Ancestral law cannot be changed!
Si Nanyan cannot be a noble concubine!
This sound continued until late at night, but it did not disappear.
Although they could no longer hear those voices in the harem, especially in the Chonghua Palace, they still seemed to be able to hear them in their hearts.
Wu Wan, Gao Yurong, and even Simu Lan who came back with them all smiled.
Especially Simulan.
Her heart was filled with ecstasy.
Unexpectedly, this time, I found the right one.
Ever since she knew that Si Nanyan was favored in the palace, her brother, together with her uncle, began to use some contacts that she had never used before to inquire about news in the palace.
She also knew clearly that this Concubine Kang was Si Nanyan's life and death enemy.
So, she found her.
What was even more unexpected was that this Concubine Kang not only really prevented the concubine's canonization ceremony, but also asked her father, Duke Cheng, to mobilize all the officials to put pressure on the emperor.
After all, the law of the ancestors cannot be changed!
How could a woman from the Tang Dynasty enter the harem, how could she be a noble concubine
Next, as long as those officials keep pressing, the emperor will definitely give in, and then—
She was so happy that she scratched her head and wished that it would be dawn soon, and she would see the moment when Si Nanyan was defeated.
After being happy for a while, the little eunuch Xiaoqizi ran in.
"Your Majesty," he knelt down and said, "Duke Cheng sent news from the outside, and all the officials still stayed in front of Fengtian Hall and did not return. Together with those wives inside and outside who watched the ceremony, as well as envoys from various countries, they were all reporting to the emperor. petition."
"now it's right."
Wu Wan sneered and said, "That's what we want."
"..."
"It is to let the whole world know that Si Nanyan is from the country of Tan."
"..."
"Absolutely don't let her be canonized."
"The duke also asked, how they should reprimand Si Nanyan when they are going to submit a joint paper next, and asked the empress to give some pointers."
Concubine Kang and Concubine An looked at each other.
After all, this is the matter of the harem, of course you have to ask them.
However, it is really difficult to handle.
Si Nanyan was too cautious on weekdays, she was caught by them with almost nothing wrong, and it was very difficult to frame her.
Concubine Kang thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "This time, the emperor went to Beiping, isn't there a war?"
"yes."
"Let them write in the brochure that Si Nanyan is a spy, because she passed on the news, so the army of the country invaded our border."
"..."
"They know what to write next."
The little chess piece smiled and said, "Yes."
After speaking, he ran out.
Simu Lan stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "Concubine Kang is really smart."
"..."
"This time, Si Nanyan will definitely not want to be canonized again."
Wu Wan glanced at her, a bit reluctant to talk to her, but she couldn't really ignore her, so she just smiled coldly: "You're still here."
"..."
"I thought you had gone back to your family."
Simulan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "The miner wholeheartedly seeks refuge with the empress, so naturally she wants to serve by her side. Now, this matter has not been accomplished, and I am afraid that the miner will be needed to testify at any time, so - dare not go back."
Wu Wan glanced at her.
I thought so too.
Until now, the emperor has not made an official announcement, and Si Nanyan may revive at any time.
This cannot happen.
This woman is still useful.
So, after looking at the sky outside, he said to Gao Yurong: "In this case, Concubine An, you can arrange a place for Miss Si to live in. I am tired and need to rest."
Gao Yurong immediately said: "Yes."
After speaking, he led Simu Lan out.
