Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 476 What is the crime of slandering the queen?
"Bringing soldiers into the city is regarded as treason?" Yan Chujing curled his lips and chuckled, "You guys are right, that's what the Dajing law is indeed written in. But..."

Touching the armrest of the dragon chair lightly with his fingertips, he raised his forehead, and Yan Chujing asked indifferently: "When all the gentlemen saw this law, did none of them see the precondition clearly?

"If I remember correctly, isn't it stipulated by the law that those who are not allowed to bring troops into the capital without permission are regarded as treason?
"If it's the emperor's decree, it doesn't matter if you bring troops into the palace, let alone bring troops into the capital.

"How can you be so sure that the empress led the troops into the city on her own initiative, and not by my order? You impeach her, say that she is unworthy of virtue, and that she has the intention of treason, so what about you?
"Attack the queen without knowing the reason, buckle the hat one by one, and say derogatory words one by one. You guys are really brave!"

At the end of the conversation, Yan Chujing suddenly suppressed the smile on his face, and slapped the table to get up.

He rarely does that.

In the past, even if he was angry, he would just reprimand him indifferently.And today...

He walked around the table, stood on the edge of the high platform, looked down at the group of courtiers who were upright and sternly admonishing him, and asked coldly: "Everyone seems to be familiar with our Dajing decree, so I also want to ask you In a word, what is the crime of slandering the queen?"

slander...the queen...

Some timid ones trembled slightly on the spot after hearing the question raised by Yan Chujing, and broke into a cold sweat.

The emperor dared to ask such a rhetorical question, so he had his confidence.

Could it be that he already has a way to help the queen get away, and only waits for them to finish their accusations, and then catch them all?
Perhaps, he wanted to take this opportunity to sweep out some of them who didn't agree with him?

With this thought, they couldn't help but feel even more frightened.

But there are also those who are brave, or those who still want to struggle, who refuse to accept Yan Chujing's words: "According to Your Majesty, the Queen Empress led troops into the city privately, did you get your permission?

"But when did you agree to this matter? Why, no one in the Manchu court knew about it?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, if you really had such a decree, it would indeed be rude for a minister to wait. However, no one in the civil and military courts knows about it, and you insist that you have made such a decree. Is this a bit far-fetched?
"Your Majesty, I dare to guess that the edict you spoke of was not something that you secretly made up for the queen after you learned about it, right?"

Not only these people retorted, but also Xue Qin stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has always favored the queen, seeing her make mistakes, it is reasonable to feel anxious.

"It's just that your majesty has an extraordinary status, so what you have to consider is not only the queen, but also all the people in the world.

"If the empress violates the prohibition, His Majesty can't help punishing her according to the law, and even helps to cover the whole situation. Now it's not appropriate to take all the responsibility on yourself.

"Your Majesty, please think twice and deal with this matter fairly."

"Fair? In Xue Qing's opinion, what is fair?" Yan Chujing sneered, looking down at Xue Qin with cold eyes, "Is it fair to accuse the queen of unwarranted charges according to what you people speculate? ?"

"Your Majesty has no such intentions, but His Majesty's statement is not convincing." Xue Qin was not in a hurry, and did not even take a step back because of Yan Chujing's fierce aura.
