Chapter 324 The Emperor's Wrath
The ministers all looked at Yan Li in unison, with complex and confused expressions.
"Auspicious?" A smile of surprise appeared on Jiang Yi's face, "If even the empress and the high priest of the Southern Kingdom, who are thousands of miles away, think that Yan Li is the auspicious sign of Jin, this fact will be more convincing. There are rumors outside that 'God "The Return of the Phoenix" is undoubtedly credible and is not a deliberate rumor. "
As he said that, he turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you think so?"
Emperor Wen nodded: "People have reported in front of me early that the eldest princess is the divine phoenix who has returned, and that the Jin Kingdom will usher in earth-shaking changes... It seems that this is far from a rumor, but a true prophecy."
"Father is right." Yan Jin bowed and saluted, "My son believes that the imperial sister is the auspiciousness of the Jin State. Since the imperial sister returned, the Jin State has indeed changed from the stagnant water of the past, and some old and decadent systems It’s long past time for a break and reform, and this time is just the opportunity.”
Yan Zheng, Yan Chen and Yan Yun looked at him expressionlessly, looking at the biggest "traitor" among the brothers, with resentment in their eyes.
"There is no contact between the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. How could their high priest calculate the return of the Divine Phoenix in the Jin Kingdom?" General Rong was obviously dissatisfied and reluctantly asked, "If the eldest princess is really the Divine Phoenix, why didn't she know the return of the Divine Phoenix when she was in the Mu Kingdom?" This prophecy? In my opinion, it is more like a conspiracy designed by the people behind the scenes, in order to allow the eldest princess to take power naturally, and then overthrow the legal system that has existed in Jin for hundreds of years... I ask for the emperor's enlightenment. , Don’t let the insidious people deceive you and fall into their trap!”
"What do you mean, General Rong, that the Emperor has become so comatose that he has no knowledge of right and wrong?" Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at him with a cold and sharp light, "From the first day when the eldest princess came back, Rong The general raised his nose and raised eyebrows at her, and it didn’t look right to her. From my point of view, the person with ulterior motives is obviously you!”
General Rong's expression changed and he knelt down quickly: "I don't dare."
"Who dares you?" Jiang Yi sneered, "Apart from Qi Shangshu and his son, you are the most courageous in the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty! The return of the eldest princess has harmed your interests and hindered your ambition to rise to the top of the world, so that you are everywhere Go against her?"
General Rong was told something that was on his mind. He couldn't help but clench his hands tightly and said with force, "I'm just telling the truth and I have no selfish motives."
"I beg my mother to calm down." Yan Chen came out and knelt down, "General Rong is a military commander. He speaks straightforwardly. It is the nature of a military commander to ask questions in his heart to his face. He has no other bad intentions. Please be aware of this."
"You're not a fool. General Rong doesn't have bad intentions. You can still see it." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Brother Second Emperor, there's no need to rush to defend him."
Yan Chen said nothing, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he had long hated Yan Li to his core.
"Yan Li has been left in the country of Mu since she was born. She has lived as an orphan for ten years. She has been wronged and I have always felt guilty in my heart." Emperor Wen looked at Yan Chen who was kneeling on the ground and spoke with some disappointment. 껙, "The queen and I owe her a lot. I thought that by bringing Yan Li to the Jin Kingdom, the imperial brother would protect her like a treasure and be humble and protective of her in order to make up for the debt I have owed to him in the past ten years."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the princes changed little by little. As if they had a premonition of what the emperor was going to say next, Yan Zheng and Yan Yun walked out of the queue without saying a word and knelt down.
"However, everything is due to my self-righteousness and sentimentality." The emperor sneered, "The debt that I and the empress owe to our daughter seems to have nothing to do with others, and no one thinks that compensation is due. You all believe that you are the prince and you deserve it of course. Everything you want, but you have completely forgotten that the reason why you have such a wealthy life today, and the reason why you still have the opportunity to fight for the throne here, is because the queen wronged her daughter back then and spent all her energy on you. On your body!"
"You can deny it, deny it all, think that the queen is doing it for herself, that the queen is willing to do it, and it has nothing to do with you. You can selfishly think that the emperor's family should be unkind and unjust - these are all yours. I have no control over rights.”
Emperor Wen took a deep breath, and his tone became more serious: "But the throne is my throne, and the country is the country that the queen won for me. You people who are just sitting back and enjoying the success are not qualified to teach me how to do things!"
Although the emperor is weak in body, the majesty he has cultivated from years of high position has already been engraved in his bones. At this time, the thunderous anger still makes people's hearts palpitate.
"I deserve to die!" All civil and military officials in the court knelt down, "Please, Your Majesty, please calm down, and please Queen, please calm down!"
Yan Zheng knelt on the ground, clawing at the palace brick floor with both hands. A cold breath slowly spread in his heart, chilling his bones.
