"Master Su!"

"Master Su!"

Exclamations came and went.

However, they were one step too slow after all, Su Qin's body slid down and his face was smashed to pieces.

he died.

"Death remonstrance" is the most risky and radical form of remonstrance. It can appear in an era of political darkness and chaotic courts, not now.

But now it is like this, can it be said that it is not chaotic?

The court officials stiffened their bodies, and their eyes slowly moved to Emperor Yong on the dragon chair, and then to Li Mingji below.

A living person died in front of them, and bright red blood flowed all over the ground. The newly appointed Marquis of Wu An just glanced at him casually, and lightly ordered: "Take it down."

It's as if the event never happened at all.

As if the embankment was washed away by the flood, Su Qin's remonstrance caused a thousand waves of waves among the court officials, and someone stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I also think what Master Su said is reasonable. I dare to ask you Your Majesty, for Lord Su's sake, think twice before acting!"

If there is one, there will be two, gradually, the courtiers behind him fell to their knees, begging Emperor Yong not to be angry, but to think carefully.

"You all mean that everyone recognizes Mr. Su?"

An abrupt voice attracted everyone's attention, but it was Zhou Rong who stood up, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and swept over these officials with different thoughts, "Princess Huaxi lost her mother when she was young, and her father has committed many evils. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the Princess and wants to make up for her, and most of the rewards to the Princess come from His Majesty's private treasury, so can't Your Majesty be pity on your niece as the Emperor?"

"As for the Marquis of Wu'an, in the situation at that time, except for the Marquis of Wu'an, who would have the guts to copy the houses of the aristocratic families and let the lords lead the troops? Do you dare, the lords? King An was also rewarded for appraising the meritorious deeds of the aristocratic family. His Majesty wants to rule Marquis Wu An's crime, should King An's crime also be punished?"

As soon as these words came out, some officials who were already hesitant looked hesitant, and they already recognized Zhou Rong's words in their hearts.If they were allowed to come, they might not dare to openly oppose the aristocratic family, and only Li Mingji could take the position of Marquis of Wu'an.You can't remonstrate with Su Qin because of his death, he must be right, right?
Zhou Rong took the lead, and some officials also snorted coldly, "Today is the official performance evaluation. If you don't use your own brains and listen to Su Qin's one-sided words, are you telling Your Majesty that you are incompetent?"

Someone was stabbed in the heart, knelt down in a panic, and shouted "Your Majesty, forgive me".All of a sudden, the officials insisted on their own opinions, and no one would spare anyone, and Chengqian Palace was extremely lively.

The protagonist Li Mingji who was targeted never spoke. He crossed his arms and looked down casually, as if enjoying a farce.

Until Emperor Yong's voice sounded——

"enough."

"Is this my Chengqian Palace, or the vegetable market on Dongmen Street?"

All the officials were silent, and no one dared to discuss the previous events.And Emperor Yong also got up, "We will discuss this matter later and retire from the court."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Emperor Yong's attitude was already very clear, even if Su Qin threatened to die, he would still save Princess Huaxi and Li Mingji.

The expressions of some courtiers became subtle.

Their words and deeds today have offended Emperor Yong and Li Mingji, and if they want to continue to be officials in the future, they will probably be in a much more difficult situation.Either rely on Li Mingji and let him follow the lead, or work together to form a stronger force and bring down Li Mingji.

Li Mingji holds a lot of power, they dare not openly oppose him, but that Princess Huaxi is just a little lady raised in a deep boudoir.

Since ancient times, in power struggles, women have always been weaker.If you want to blame, you can only blame her for being born in the emperor's family.

It was only a few days after Su Qin's death remonstrance, and rumors spread in the capital.

Li Mingji was granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and there have been many rumors about him in the city.Now the rumors have evolved into many different versions, and the focus has shifted to Shu Yao.

Some people say that Yinghuo appeared in the south of the capital, and a vision descended from the sky, and the capital may soon be in chaos.There is also a strange talk that is popular in the streets and alleys, saying that the princess of a certain dynasty was extravagant and lustful, and joined forces with her son-in-law to usurp the throne, which almost caused a catastrophe.

The rumors intensified and caused a storm in the court.Su Qin's home was seized, and a piece of his work "Discussing Huaxi Princess Calligraphy" was circulated among many officials. These officials jointly signed a petition, asking Emperor Yong to follow the ancestral precept that concubines should not interfere in politics, and revoke Li Mingji. He also asked Shu Yao to leave the capital and live in his own fief, and he was not allowed to return to the capital for the rest of his life.

Emperor Yong finally issued an imperial decree, expressing that Li Mingji's appointment as a marquis was suspended, he would not participate in the government for the time being, and went to guard outside the imperial city; and the anniversary of the death of Princess Yongning was approaching, requiring Shu Yao to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors and not to go out for three months. Shu Yao's feet were restrained.

When these news reached the princess' mansion, they were silently stopped.

Shu Yao finished finishing the handkerchief and admired her work.This is the result of her study with Concubine Shen in the past six months, and she also ingeniously embroidered a "Jiao" character on the bottom, imitating Li Mingji's handwriting.

The Persian cat flicked its tail, lay down at Shu Yao's feet, and rubbed against her ankles, meowing and acting coquettishly.Shu Yao touched its head perfunctorily, put down her needlework, and couldn't wait to find Li Mingji.

With a sound of "crash", a piece of darkness passed overhead, Shu Yao blinked, and actually saw an eagle flying out from the sky above Liluoyuan.

Some dignitaries in Beijing like to raise raptors, not to mention eagles, wolves and tigers have also been raised, but they are strictly guarded by servants. Eagles that come and go freely like this are really rare. Where did this come from?
She did not forget her purpose, and came to Liluoyuan with an embroidered handkerchief as if offering a treasure.Li Mingji also complied with her wishes, praised her to his heart's content, and even took the initiative to kiss him.

"I want to go to the palace to find Yuanyuan."

She completed a double-sided embroidery by herself, such an important matter, of course she had to show it off in front of Princess Jiayi.

Li Mingji pecked her lips, and said warmly: "Jiaojiao, it is best not to go out these days."

Shu Yao also heard some of the rumors in the capital recently.But these words have been passed on for many years, and there are no new tricks in what they say, so she doesn't care.A few days ago, Yin Fu came here deliberately, saying that Emperor Yong was rectifying the government recently, and told Shu Yao not to believe those rumors.

Even Li Mingji said that, Shu Yao felt a little uneasy.Those dreams... "Have you and your adoptive father been in contact recently? I don't like your adoptive father, so stay away from him."

"After I became an official, my adoptive father thought that I had betrayed him and had already disliked me." Li Mingji smiled softly, and stroked Shu Yao's hair, "Don't worry Jiaojiao, I will protect the princess's residence well."

Some accounts, he and Xiao Sui, should be settled.
