Xijing Imperial City, Dazhen Hall.
In the glorious hall, all the officials surrendered, and everyone looked at the two chairs on the ninth floor.
The main seat is naturally the seat of the supreme emperor. There are nine dragons circling on the back of the chair. One of the dragons has its head raised straight forward, and then eight dragons are entrenched everywhere. The opening and closing of the dragon's claws point to the position of the four seas, marking the eight desolate places.
The main seat on the side seat is lowered to the sixth level, surrounded by phoenixes and phoenixes, which is lifelike and shows the majesty of phoenixes and phoenixes.
At this moment, sitting on the dragon and phoenix chair is naturally the current second saint.
Su Yao looked at the officials and said, "My dear friends, do you have anything else to report today?"
There was a dead silence in the main hall, and no one dared to respond to Queen Su.
After all, a few days ago, many civil servants who advised the Six Kings were dismissed from their official positions and detained in the prison of the imperial city.
Later, those who were preparing to impeach the queen with death remonstrances were personally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to be imprisoned within the same clan.
At this point, who still dares to speak?
At this moment, a civil official walked out from a place later among the hundreds of officials. Judging from his appearance, he was already in his sixtieth year. Looking at his official uniform, he should be just a Taishi Ling from the fifth rank. .
The man walked faster and faster, almost reaching the ninth level, but was soon stopped by officials on both sides.
The Taishi Ling shouted: "Although I don't know what happened at the family banquet that day, I still ask the two saints to explain it to the world today! Why did they kill the six kings in the palace?"
Su Yao's face was gloomy and he looked at the person who spoke.
"But Taishi Ling Baichen?"
Bai Chen responded: "Exactly!"
Su Yao raised his hand and waved, and the latter immediately broke free from the restraints of others and continued to walk forward for a few steps, finally stopping at the ninth level.
"Since His Majesty came to the throne, the six kings have gone to their respective fiefdoms to take office. In the past few years, they have been able to keep their peace..."
Hearing this, Bai Chen looked strange, but he did not dare to interrupt the queen's words, so he had to clasp his hands in front of him and wait for the next sentence.
"But these close relatives of your majesty were bewitched by gangsters not long ago with the intention of disrupting our country, Yanyang Zuo. Therefore, your majesty can only invite the six kings into the imperial city to give them one last chance..."
"But even if your Majesty is merciful, you can't bring back the brotherhood of the past. Do you understand, my dear friends?"
Bai Chen's figure suddenly shook, but he quickly regained his balance.
Although the Bai family has lived in Xijing for a long time, the backer behind him has always been King Wu who was far away in Lingxi, Hebei Province, the former Fourth Highness.
Because it is the place where Yanyang made his fortune, and it is also where the foundation of the Bai family, which has the power to support dragons, lies.
But today, the people behind him have become rebellious ministers who were bewitched and beheaded in the main hall. So how can they survive for a long time?
Bai Chen said in a trembling voice: "Then the bad guys should be punished. Why did they kill all the six kings in the hall..."
Su Yao answered the question: "Is Taishi Ling doing this to plead for mercy for the rebellious ministers and traitors, or to seek an explanation from His Majesty?"
Bai Chen hurriedly spoke out: "Even if all the six kings were at fault, but they were killed so hastily, wouldn't the various places in Yanyang fall into panic because of this? Please ask the two saints for their enlightenment!"
Su Yao touched the wine cup next to him lightly and did not respond to the Taishi Ling who was on the ninth level.
Just when all the officials were confused, the True Dragon Supreme sitting on the main seat made some movement.
Suddenly, everyone looked at the Xia family emperor, and Su Yao and Na Bai Chen also looked at him.
Its sound is like the roar of a dragon, and the sound is like the roar of a tiger, which is shocking.
"Now that the matter has come to this, are you worried that there will be wars and disasters in various places?"
All the civil and military officials in Dazhen Hall paid homage to the Xia family emperor. Bai Chen was so frightened that his legs trembled and he did not dare to look at the person in charge.
"I haven't left the palace for some years..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was heartbroken. Is their Majesty going to leave the palace and hang all the people who rebelled in the six fiefdoms?
In the entire Dazhen Hall, you can hear a needle drop.
At this moment, Su Yao raised her sleeves to cover her face and smiled softly. She turned to look at Baiguan.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. All the fiefdoms have been properly dealt with. There will definitely be no rebellion by thieves or rebellion by ministers!"
The voice of the last four words was dragged out extremely long by Queen Su, who was obviously speaking to all the officials.
The Xia family emperor behind him gave a meaningful hum when he heard this.
Su Yao then continued to laugh and said: "Does Taishi Ling have anything else to report?"
Bai Chen was heartbroken and staggered back half a step.
"Since the two saints have a way to deal with it, there is no objection to being a minister..."
Su Yao hummed and looked at the scene outside Dazhen Hall.
"Then please invite Mr. Bai to go to the underworld and be company with those classmates and friends! What do you think?"
Bai Chen felt like he was struck by lightning, why? !
The sixty-year-old old man looked as if he was out of his mind and was about to rush up to the ninth level. Two guards in front of the palace immediately captured him.
His red eyes stared at Su Yao, full of confusion and resentment.
"Your Majesty! Queen! What did I do wrong? Will anyone advise me in the future that I should be a prisoner in the underworld!?"
The emperor of the Xia family, who was on top of the throne, didn't even look at Bai Chen, let alone respond to his call.
Su Yaoxiao looked at Bai Chen and said with a smile: "The evidence of Bai's crime will be made public later, but you, the Grand Historian, can't hear it!"
Bai Chen roared out: "I, the Bai family, have made great contributions to Yan Yang. If I, Bai Chen, are imprisoned in the underworld today, who else will be loyal to Yan Yang in the future!"
Su Yao raised his hand and the guards escorted Bai Chen out of the palace.
Then the woman sitting on the phoenix chair raised her hand to support her cheek and slowly yawned.
She seemed to have just noticed the eyes of the other officials, and glanced at them lazily.
"My lords, you still have something to report. If nothing happens, please dismiss the court!"
Without waiting for the officials to respond, the imperial father-in-law beside her immediately shouted: "Sanchao——chao——"
In response, all civil and military officials bowed and resigned, and no one dared to stay in Dazhen Hall.
Today, or perhaps after that family banquet, everyone in the court felt that their "Second Saint" had changed.
The original grand scene of the Second Saint's coming to court seemed to have become dull and incompetent overnight. The biggest change was undoubtedly their queen.
After these days of wanton behavior, it has chilled the hearts of many ministers.
Some resigned from office and returned home, some had their advice rejected, and there were even loyal ministers and good generals who were forced to die by remonstrance, but were brutally imprisoned.
In the eyes of hundreds of officials, who dares to speak out and give advice, who doesn’t care about Yan Yang? !
...
Half an hour later, in a secluded courtyard in the imperial city.
There were three people standing in front of the screen in the courtyard, and the two standing side by side were the emperor and empress who were no longer worthy in the hearts of the officials.
Su Yao's expression looked very cold at the moment, but the Xia family emperor beside him had an expressionless face.
In front of the two of them was an imperial doctor who was bowing and saluting.
She asked: "Mr. Wen, how is Eunuch Zhu's injury now?"
Dr. Wen responded: "Master Zhu... rushed back to Xijing with a sigh of relief. The injuries on his body are much more serious than before. He will probably not live for more than half a month..."
Su Yao took a deep breath and raised his hand to tug the sleeve of the man next to him.
The Xia family emperor immediately hugged him and whispered, don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Then he looked at Dr. Wen in front of him and began to give orders in a serious tone.
"No matter what, please ask Dr. Wen to do his best to save Eunuch Zhu. There can't be anyone left by my side!"
Doctor Wen hurriedly responded: "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust!"
"Go ahead, I'll rest here with Sanniang for a while, and I'll drive back to the palace later."
"yes!"
After hearing the sound, Dr. Wen immediately ran towards the screen behind him.
After he entered the house, he hurriedly ran to the bed, opened his medicine box, took out a silver needle, and was about to give the needle to the lying person.
But as soon as he handed the silver needle to the couch, he was stopped.
"Master Zhu, Your Majesty said that we must do our best to treat you. This injection can temporarily relieve the pain..."
Zhu Gaojiu coughed twice, interrupting Doctor Wen's words.
"Did your Majesty seriously say that?"
Doctor Wen quickly raised his hand and pointed outside the house, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty and your empress are outside the house at the moment! It's absolutely true!"
At this time, Zhu Gaojiu's whole body was like a puddle of mud, with all the skin and flesh all over his body broken, except for his face which was still relatively intact.
"You must never...let your majesty and empress see our family like this..."
Dr. Wen nodded in agreement and was about to raise his hand to apply the acupuncture, but was blocked by Zhu Gaojiu.
"Master Zhu..."
Zhu Gaojiu took a strong breath. At this moment, his whole face was radiant and he sat up directly.
He opened his mouth and said: "Our family knows our body best! Without the help of Imperial Doctor Wen, let us bow to Your Majesty and Your Majesty in the house... Don't forget the etiquette!"
Zhu Gaojiu quickly found the position facing the outside of the room, and then he knelt down and worshiped towards the screen.
"I failed to achieve my goal and shouldn't have come back...but I still want to see your Majesty and the empress again, so I have the courage to return to Xijing. Please...if you want to blame, blame me!"
Zhu Gaojiu suddenly laughed, looking like a happy little old man.
"But...I guess I won't be able to see the scenery in the future..."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wen noticed something was wrong and was about to call out to the two people outside the door.
But Zhu Gaojiu was a martial artist after all, and he was still faster than Imperial Physician Wen, so he immediately pushed him to the ground.
"Mr. Wen, please take more care of them from now on... Let our family finish talking, okay?"
Doctor Wen looked at Master Zhu who was looking back at him, and could only nod weakly, no longer trying to resist.
After Zhu Gaojiu bowed devoutly again, he knelt on the ground like a rotten tree.
He murmured in his mouth: "May your Majesty and your empress be happy... in the future..."
The two people standing outside the screen could not hear the blessing, and Su Yao glanced at the screen for some reason.
The emperor of the Xia family beside him seemed to see no one around, so he took Su Yao into his arms again.
But this time the hug was more like a child hugging his mother.
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao, does it look like what I learned just now?"
"It looks like, it looks very similar...but didn't Ah Yao say that he is not allowed to change back before I agree?"
"I know!"
"Well, Mo Lang..."
