As soon as the emperor spoke out, the ministers seemed to have found their backbone and became bolder one after another.
Several cabinet ministers also angrily accused Xiao Jingyue.
"Bold Xiao Jingyue, you led troops into the court, what do you want?"
"Xiao Jingyue, are you doing this because you want to rebel? The emperor treats you well, how could you do such a treasonous thing?"
"Xiao Jingyue, rebellious officials and traitors have never had a good end since ancient times. Considering that we are officials in the same dynasty, I advise you to put down your weapons immediately and admit your mistake to the emperor. Considering your military exploits over the years, we will intercede for you. Maybe, the emperor will spare you this time..."
“…”
In the court hall, the ministers quickly came to their senses. They were talking to each other, but Prime Minister Su was the only one who looked on with cold eyes, as if the matter had nothing to do with him!
"close the door!"
Xiao Jingyue seemed to have not heard their accusations, and looked at them coldly with a handsome face. After a moment, he gave orders to his men, and then, the door of the court was slammed shut.
Bang…
The sound of the slamming door seemed to hit the hearts of all the officials, causing them to panic and fear again.
Since they became officials, this was the first time they had seen the battle before them, so how could they not be afraid
"Yun Haotian, I, Xiao Jingyue, went to war and suffered numerous injuries for the sake of your Yun family's empire. It can be said that I had a narrow escape from death. But how did your Yun family treat me?"
Yun Haotian is the nickname of the current emperor.
Xiao Jingyue stood in the Jinluan Palace, raising his chin and angrily complaining about his dissatisfaction.
"You, Yun Haotian, ignored my wishes and gave me your daughter Yun Xi in marriage. Even though I didn't like her, I still complied with the emperor's order and married her..."
"But Yun Xi, this vicious woman, designed to divorce me just a few days after our marriage, and trampled all my dignity and face under her feet..."
"Since you don't like me, you don't have to marry me. Why do you want to humiliate me like this?"
"Why, do you think that because you are the great god of the Great Zhao, you can trample on meritorious ministers so casually and do whatever you want?"
After hearing what he said, the emperor smiled coldly, "Xiao Jingyue, if you want to seize the power of my Yun family, you can just say so directly. After all, since ancient times, this throne has been occupied by capable people..."
"But what you said just now really makes me look down on you!"
"Ha..." Xiao Jingyue smiled coldly and said, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"Wrong?" the emperor said majestically, "Of course it's wrong!"
"First of all, you said that I gave you the Holy Princess's marriage regardless of your wishes. Then, when I offered you the marriage, did you ever refuse me?"
"You didn't. You didn't show any intention of marrying the Holy Princess at all!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyue clenched his fists and immediately retorted unconvinced, "That's because the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed!"
"This is even more sophistry!" The emperor slowly sat back on the throne and looked at him condescendingly!
"I have been using you in high regard for several years. In the past few years, when have I ever forced you to do something you didn't want to do?"
"Furthermore, I gave you my most noble princess in marriage because I appreciate your talents and think highly of you. Instead of being grateful for the emperor's grace, you think that I am trampling on you?"
"My holy princess is so noble and beautiful. How is she not worthy of you? What makes you dislike her so much? Back then, if you had said that you didn't want to marry her, I would never have married her to you!"
"I don't even have time to pamper my beloved, so how can I be willing to give it to you and let you despise it?"
"Let's talk about the Holy Princess divorcing you. You said she was humiliating you, but what about you? On the sixth day of your wedding, you married your common wife into the house. Isn't this behavior humiliating her?"
"You humiliated her first, so what if she divorces you?"
"Xiao Jingyue, what qualifications do you have to resent me and my holy princess because of this?"
After listening to the conversation between the emperor and Xiao Jingyue, the doubts in the minds of the officials were finally answered.
Originally, they were still surprised as to why Xiao Jingyue suddenly led his troops to force the palace. It turned out that it was because of the divorce of the Holy Princess some time ago!
Gee, speaking of it, being divorced by your wife is indeed the greatest shame in life!
In history, I have never heard of a general who was divorced by his wife. It is no wonder that Xiao Jingyue would do such crazy things in a rage.
However, does this mean that what is created can be created
Your Majesty, can you just rebel if you say you rebel
If he succeeds, even if he ascends to the throne, he will be scolded by the world as a rebellious minister and traitor. If it is more serious, the vassal kings may take the opportunity to cause chaos. It is hard to say how many days the snatched throne will last!
But if you fail, then what awaits you will be death without a burial!
The ministers suddenly calmed down and looked at the situation in front of them with different thoughts.
Xiao Jingyue was speechless. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since ancient times, which man has not had three wives and four concubines? I am a first-class general, so what if I marry an equal wife?"
This sentence attracted everyone's agreement.
In the court, all the officials nodded in agreement, yes, among the men present, which one does not have three wives and four concubines
Not to mention them, even ordinary people with a little money have several concubines!
As for the general, except for the princess and his wife, there is no other woman. Speaking of which, it is already considered rare!
However, who asked him to marry a princess
It’s not easy to be a princess’ man!
For a moment, the ministers sympathized with Xiao Jingyue.
Everyone felt that if his wife were not the Holy Princess, but anyone else, he would never end up being divorced because of marrying an equal wife!
"But Yun Xi humiliated me so much. It's really hard for me to swallow this breath!"
Xiao Jingyue suddenly pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and looked at the emperor on the dragon throne with fierce eyes.
"Yun Haotian, you have made me the laughing stock of Dazhao, so I will use the blood of your Yun clan to wash away the shame you have put on me!"
After he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the court hall.
After a moment, the emperor glanced at all the ministers in the court and said, "My dear friends, you have all seen that Xiao Jingyue led his troops to the palace with the intention of treason. Now, I want to ask, who among you , how many people are willing to stand on my side?"
Without waiting for the ministers to answer, Xiao Jingyue said extremely coldly, "Today, it is me, the general, and the grudges with the Yun family have nothing to do with the ministers. However, if anyone wants to go against me, then don't worry. It’s my fault, General, for being ruthless under the sword!”
Xiao Jingyue swung the sword harder and thrust the sword in his hand into the wall not far away. He raised his chin and had an aura, as if those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will die!
