My country is dying

Chapter 467
Yun Gui behind him immediately sent people forward, and four or five people drew their swords and pointed at Guan Tang and his party. Guan Tang also turned pale and fell to the ground, but he couldn't stop laughing: "Shit! It's all bullshit! Hou Jun Li, do you think you really won? The Guan family will die today, and you will die tomorrow. The king is ruthless, how long do you think you can last? Is it possible that the emperor will let you dominate the Qi palace?"

Hou Junli stopped and looked forward, where Mi Le was slowly coming out of the house, walking up to Hou Junli step by step, and then met the eyes of the Queen Mother behind him.Under the eyes of the Queen Mother, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled, then took Hou Junli's hand: "Are you afraid?"

Hou Junli met her eyes and wrapped her hands tightly: "I am willing, with no regrets or complaints."

His eyes were as deep as the ocean, and for a moment, Mi Le was moved again.

But she quickly withdrew her gaze, turned to face the queen mother behind, blinked at her, and then mouthed: "Did you see it?"

The queen mother was so angry that her face turned blue, and she almost rushed forward, but was forced to sit back on the spot by the sword in front of her.

Guan's party was quickly captured, and Guan Shijie personally escorted them to the capital.

And Mi Le and his party had to set off to return to Beijing to deal with the aftermath.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has drafted the 31 crimes against Guan Lehou. Your Majesty has taken a look at it." Xiao Hou handed a memorial to Mi Le, and Mi Le looked at him after receiving it, "Xiao Hou thinks, can I deal with it? appropriate?"

Mi Le did not belong to the Nine Clans, but only dealt with the relevant personnel of the Guan family. Guan Shijie was responsible for the rebellion, and their lineage was spared, but the rest of the people related to the Guan family were not punished, but they were more or less affected. The days to come will not be easy.

As for the Empress Dowager, the permanent seclusion of Guanju Palace can be regarded as the last bit of filial piety of her "son".

"The emperor's benevolence is already extraordinarily merciful."

"If it was the first emperor, what would he do if he encountered such a thing?"

Xiao Hou looked up at Mi Le, thought for a moment before saying: "The imperial court has been tortured for a long time, but in troubled times, only cruel laws can bring out good people. Today's Jinyan Kingdom is no longer the old Jinyan Kingdom."

"That's right." Mi Le sighed, "Speaking of which, King Qi has contributed a lot. Without him, the Jinyan Kingdom would not have stabilized so quickly, and the common people would not have lived a good life so quickly."

Xiao Hou just glanced at her and didn't answer.

Mi Le met his gaze, but suddenly said: "I don't know one thing. Xiaohou had seen my identity from the mother's concubine's last letter that day, but why didn't Xiaohou say it at that time? Women are emperors, throughout the ages. , without precedent.”

Xiaohou's complexion changed slightly, but suddenly he lifted his robe and knelt down: "Please forgive me for being bold and treasonous!"

Mi Le quickly helped him up: "Mr. Xiao, please don't do such a big gift. You didn't hand over the letter to the Guan family that day, so I knew I was right. The loyalty of the three generations of your Xiao family has always been for the country of Jinyan. People, I trust you and have never doubted you, so if you have something to say, just speak up."

Xiaohou refused to get up, and said solemnly: "It is true that the first emperor passed on the throne to the emperor, but the first emperor must not know that the emperor is a woman. Just as the emperor said, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the emperor throughout the ages. If the emperor sets this precedent, I am afraid that the country will be unstable and the hearts of the people will be in turmoil! The emperor certainly has the ability to govern the country, but I don't want Jin Yan to become the emperor in the future, and the disaster will also be the emperor!"

Mi Le paused, and Xiao Hou knelt deeply in front of her.

Seeing that Mi Le didn't speak, Xiao Hou said again: "After the matter of the Guan family, rumors that the emperor is a woman will spread everywhere. Now that the emperor abdicates, he can still make a living for himself, but if the rebels use this as an excuse to raise troops in the future Rebellion, it is still the common people who suffer! And if it fails, the emperor will not end well... The old minister's words are not only for the country of Jinyan, after all, regardless of the identity of the emperor, the emperor is also the blood of the former emperor. True royalty!"

Xiaohou's face turned red after he finished speaking these words. In his opinion, such rebellious words would inevitably lead to death, but for the sake of the world, the people, and the king in front of him, he could only do so.

Faithful.

But what he didn't expect was that Mi Le actually stretched out his hand to help him up again.

"What Xiao Hou said is true." Mi Le was actually moved, with tears in his eyes.

"Actually, I had this intention a long time ago, but it was difficult for no one to discuss it. Now Xiaohou's words are exactly what I want... Actually, I already have someone in my heart, but I don't know what Xiaohou thinks?" Shot out, leaving a name on his palm.

Xiao Hou was startled: "But he is not the royal family!"

Mi Le looked at Xiao Hou sincerely and said: "Throughout the ages, it is true that sons inherit the father's business, but the father has no heirs, so he is doomed to have no blood inheritance. If you have to find an unrelated person from the clan to succeed the throne, It's better to choose a person who has both ability and political integrity. And he is the most suitable."

Seeing that Xiaohou didn't speak, Mi Le said again: "I know that Xiaohou has a feud with King Qi, but you can also see what King Qi is thinking. He doesn't seek power to usurp the throne. Over the years, the biggest difference between him and Xiaohou In the Hequ, but now the Hequ has begun to see results, presumably Xiaohou also knows that it is actually a good thing that benefits the country and the people, since they are all dedicated to the Jinyan Kingdom, and the King of Qi is a person with extraordinary talents and strategies. I am more suitable for the throne, am I not?"

Xiao Hou was silent for a long moment, as if he was struggling, and finally looked at Mi Le: "If this is the emperor's decision, I will support it."

Mi Le laughed immediately: "Then I would like to thank Xiao Hou. After the decree is drafted, I will hand over Yu Quan to Xiao Hou. At the time of introduction, all of this will require Xiao Hou's efforts."

Xiao Hou didn't say anything, just bowed in response.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to go?" Watching Mi Le pack up her luggage, Xiang Lan and Xiang Si had panicked expressions in their eyes.

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Mi Le gave them a gouged look, "I've already written the imperial decree for Yu Quan to send to Xiaohou. When I enter Beijing, Xiaohou will read the imperial decree, and then I'll go far away. It's useless for Hou Junli not to take the throne."

Seeing that the second daughter wanted to talk more, Mi Le stood up and looked at them: "You also know that my identity is always a hidden danger, and now I have an excellent opportunity to get out of the sea of ​​suffering. You should be happy for me!"

Xianglan still looked disheveled, but Xiangsi took a deep breath and held Mi Le's hand: "Your Majesty, I support you. Compared with living a free life, the palace is full of murderous threats. It is a good thing to leave."

On the other side, Xiang Lan's face finally loosened: "But I can't bear to let the emperor..."

"It's not the emperor now!" Mi Le scratched her nose, and then looked at the second daughter again, "Don't worry, I've already told my uncle that after I leave, you can stay in Nie's mansion. You can go wherever you want in the future!"
