Capital City, Imperial Palace, Qiantian Hall.
Emperor Yongping sat high on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military ministers standing neatly below him, his face indescribably solemn.
The Changshan Shen family recruited 100,000 troops. From a clear perspective, this was preparation for the conquest of Japan. But anyone who is not a fool will understand that once these 100,000 soldiers form an army, they will be a huge threat to the imperial court.
If the Changshan Shen clan failed in their expedition against the Japanese, everything would be fine. But if the Shen family defeated the Japanese, then the Changshan Shen family would have a large territory overseas.
Coupled with the large army that has experienced bloody battles, once the Changshan Shen clan covets this country and the country, the court will be unable to stop it.
"Why doesn't anyone say anything?"
"In the past, weren't you all very good at speaking?"
Emperor Yongping looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs below with an unkind expression, feeling more and more that there was a group of wine and rice sacks above his court.
When something happens, everyone becomes a quail.
"Your Majesty, what the Shen family of Changshan did was also to protect our Tang Dynasty from being stolen by the Japanese. I think it should be commended!"
If there is a censor who comes out, it is righteousness to speak.
"The warrior in front of the palace, drag him out for me!"
"Death with a stick!"
The imperial court is already in danger, this Changshan Shen family is so ambitious, this bullshit imperial censor is still singing praises to the Changshan Shen family, you are like an old man hanging himself, you don’t think you have a long life!
After experiencing this series of blows, Emperor Yongping was no longer as calm and humble as he once was.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"I, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu, have something to say, and I will not be punished for my words!"
"What Pu Yushi said is certainly not in line with Your Majesty's will, but it is not a crime that will lead to death!"
"Your Majesty, think twice before you act!"
When Emperor Yongping violently wanted to kill the remonstrating censor with a stick, many civil and military ministers who had been silent just now spoke one after another. With every word, they all tried to annihilate the censor and plead for mercy for the censor who had spoken.
Emperor Yongping didn't expect that he would show such anger, and this group of people would dare to come out to touch his troubles. He was stunned on the spot for a moment, with a gloomy face and burning eyes.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
The eldest princess finally spoke now.
Now in this court, the eldest princess is the most trusted person by Emperor Yongping. When others spoke, even Prince Yu Li Heng and Emperor Yongping did not take them seriously.
But as soon as the eldest princess opened her mouth, Emperor Yongping began to think twice.
"That's all, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be forgiven!"
Emperor Yongping snorted coldly, "Pull the person down, twenty sticks!"
Although he felt very unhappy, since the eldest princess had spoken, Emperor Yongping had to give her face.
This censor, who thought he was speaking out for justice, thought he had finally escaped and saved his life when he was dragged down.
But what she didn't see was that when he was pulled down, the eldest princess gave the warrior in front of the palace a wink.
Naturally, the result was that the imperial censor was beaten to death with twenty boards!
For such a crime, it goes without saying that Emperor Yongping had to bear it, even if this was not Emperor Yongping's original intention.
The censor was beaten to death, and the government and the public were shocked.
Many civil and military ministers met secretly to discuss countermeasures.
Then, this group of people went to Duke Dingguo's mansion and asked to see the eldest princess.
The eldest princess has been waiting for the arrival of these people from the moment she secretly contacted the civil and military ministers. After all, she guided all this in secret.
As for the unlucky Yushi Park, he simply hit the muzzle of the gun himself.
"Your Majesty the Princess, Your Majesty is getting more and more irritable. In the past few days, ten of my colleagues have been beaten with sticks, and Yushi Park even lost his life because of this."
"Please also ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to save our lives!"
"Please help Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
A group of people who arrived at Duke Dingguo's Mansion stood up one after another and saluted the eldest princess respectfully.
Once in the court, Prince Yu, the clan leader, was the one whom these civil and military ministers could rely on. But during this period, everyone could see that King Yu was no longer favored by Emperor Yongping.
No one knows why this happens, but those who know the current affairs are heroes.
They didn't want to be the next one to be punished with a cane, let alone follow the path of Park Yushi who was killed with a cane.
Of course, some people are thinking of simply resigning and staying away from the right and wrong of the court.
But at this moment, even if the resignation was approved, it must have been recorded by Emperor Yongping. There may not be anything wrong at the moment, but when the situation stabilizes in the future, sooner or later he will be liquidated. of.
If you cannot resign and run away, you will have to find another way to make a living in the court.
"My lords, I will do my best in this matter."
"It's just that you have to do something!"
The eldest princess has done so much, and her purpose is naturally not just to make these people grateful to her.
Her purpose is actually very simple, that is, to make the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty disappointed with Emperor Yongping. Then, when Emperor Yongping's life experience is revealed, even if the country cannot fall under her control immediately, she can become the actual leader of the Tang Dynasty. controller.
As for those local aristocratic families that are running around now, they can do whatever they want now, because no matter how they do it, as long as they dare not openly rebel, they will be liquidated in the future.
If you don't have the guts to rebel, but you dare to jump out and do something against the emperor, this is simply a boring life.
At first, Emperor Taizu almost completely wiped out these local aristocratic families. Later, these local aristocratic families compromised and begged for mercy, and then Emperor Taizu let them go.
Now, facts have proven that these local aristocratic families really don't know how to live or die, and they don't know how to be grateful. When she takes power, she will destroy all these ungrateful people.
This world belongs to the Li family!
Any attempt to provoke the Li family's orthodoxy is self-destructive.
"Your Highness the Princess, what should we do?"
The civil and military ministers who came to visit the eldest princess all looked confused after hearing the eldest princess's words. They really didn't know what they could do.
When it comes to things above the court, they seem to be stuck in a weird situation where doing more is a mistake, doing less is a mistake, and not doing anything is still a mistake. They felt that the emperor was looking for trouble with them if he saw them unhappy.
"There have been too many things going on recently, and it is inevitable that Your Majesty will be anxious. Sirs, when you say or do something, you should think more about Your Majesty."
"For some things, if you can make up your mind, just try your best to make up your mind. You don't necessarily have to have a saint come up to make up your mind."
"Also, the training and rectification of the 36th Guards of the North and South Second Battalions is a top priority!"
Only when you have military power in your hands can you speak with confidence. The eldest princess knows this very well. However, compared with having military power, these soldiers must be able to fight!
An army that cannot fight is just a decoration, no matter how large it is.
Emperor Yongping personally conquered the Northern Barbarians and had absolute military power at that time, but so what? An army that cannot fight is worse than a group of pigs! (End of chapter)
