I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1286 The Emperor Refuses to Pay Attention to the Empress
"Your subject Cen Kao pays respects to Your Majesty!"

……

"Your humble servant Wei Xue greets Your Majesty!"

……

"Your humble servant, Mao Ren, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

……

After Li Yuanzhuo's grandmother arrived, one after another, officials from the court came to this grand lecture hall. At a glance, they were all learned scholars with achievements in the literary world.

Some were no longer in the previous dynasty, while others remained active in the imperial court.

In terms of status and position, they were all extremely wealthy and influential people.

But right now.
Without exception!

They all looked terrified and trembling, some even with their clothes soaked with sweat.

They all knelt down, their foreheads touching the ground, kowtowing to the emperor.

The students around the lecture hall looked at the way the teachers and esteemed figures were now, and where was their usual haughty demeanor?

Especially the descendants of these people, the students also found that they were all, mostly those who supported Yang Liaoyuan.

They are now kneeling in the direction of the emperor.

The students pursed their lips, looked at each other, and dared not even breathe too loudly.

Especially the emperor.
He just stared down at the ground without saying a word.

The sound of hurried footsteps was exceptionally clear in the silence.

Everyone turned to look.

Some people recognized at a glance that it was Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, Li Chunfang, along with Minister of Rites Cao Can, newly appointed Minister of Personnel Su Ziyu, and Vice Minister Wei Jiu.

Moreover, she followed Yan Ruyu and Shentu Sheyue.

When Li Chunfang and the other three were in the passageway cleared by the students, they noticed the large group of people kneeling, and why they were all trembling.

Li Chunfang and the other three exchanged glances, not really understanding what was going on, but each of them felt a sudden unease.

They were suddenly summoned, told that the emperor was at the Imperial Academy.

They didn't dare to delay and rushed over.

They encountered Yan Ruyu and Shen Tu Sheyue on the way.

Hearing that the two men said they were going to the Imperial Academy after finishing their errands, the four men became even more puzzled.

Wei Jiu, however, had seen some things in the Imperial Study today, so he thought of a possibility, but he didn't say anything.

The four of them stepped forward, and Su Ziyu noticed that her niece, Su Linhan, was standing right behind Xun Kuang, but she didn't think much of it.

They all saluted.

Su Chang'an couldn't help but smile as he looked at his chubby second uncle, who was now panting heavily.

But then her expression froze, and she looked down at Li Yueyue.

He noticed that the girl was hiding behind him, clinging to his arm, looking timidly at Su Linhan.

Su Chang'an sighed helplessly and wanted to ask, "How do you manage to be fearless of everyone, yet fear everyone at the same time?"

Su Linhan glanced at her second uncle, then lowered her head, but her gaze remained fixed on her eldest sister.

Su Linhan was summoned by An Furong, who said that something had happened to Yueyue, and that Yang Leyuan and the others had started again.

Su Linhan knew about Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan's affair.

She originally intended to help investigate the truth, but Mr. Shuiyun and Mr. Ji told her not to interfere, so she pretended not to see it.

But Yang Liaoyuan kept doing this, and she became somewhat annoyed.

However, Su Linhan thought that the Imperial College was a place for studying, not a place for her to throw a tantrum. There should always be a limit to things.

But after hearing what An Furong said about Cui Qing, Cui Nu.

She immediately realized it was her older sister, so she rushed over.

I didn't expect the Emperor to be here.

So without saying a word, he obediently stood there.

But what she was certain of was that Cui Qing was the older sister.

Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Ziyu, Li Chunfang and the others who were standing to one side.

Then he looked at Ruyu and Sheyue.

The emperor finally spoke, "Where is Mu Xu?"

The three words, spoken softly, broke the silence in everyone's hearts, but also made everyone's hearts tremble. They immediately looked towards the emperor, waiting for what was about to happen.

Ruyu immediately said, "The Grand Master said he was tired from running and told us to come back first while he rests in the back."

Xia Fengxiang's lips twitched.

Su Chang'an pursed his lips and glanced at a spot not far away. What was that old man doing? Why didn't he come over and climb the tree?

Yan Yunxiao also whispered something to Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang chuckled softly, then looked at Yang Mu and the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground: "I hope I haven't wronged you by making you kneel and speak to me in public."

Hearing this
Yang Muhe and the others felt a chill run down their spines. They weren't afraid of the emperor's reprimand, but they were terrified of his tone. Immediately!

Song Daoji was the first to kowtow repeatedly, saying, "Your subject knows his crime, your subject knows his crime!"

Next!

The students saw these high-ranking people repeatedly kowtowing to the emperor, shouting, "Your subject knows his crime."

What crime
do not know.

The students looked at each other, puzzled.

But after thinking about it, it seems to be related to Xiao Ansheng.

How could such a simple matter attract so many people?
And wasn't that Yang Liaoyuan's problem?
Xia Fengxiang scoffed, "Then you'll have to make do and listen on your knees."

As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang looked at Yuan Gongfu, who was completely slumped on the ground: "Li Chunfang, when you, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, arrive at the Imperial Academy, do you bring someone with you to remind others to bow to you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gongfu was so worried he almost died.

His face was ashen.

Li Chunfang didn't understand what His Majesty was talking about, but she quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I would not dare to do such a thing, not even outside the Imperial Academy. I will remember the Empress's teachings on humility."

Su Chang'an was taken aback. When did I ever lecture you on this?

Xia Fengxiang looked at Li Chunfang: "Then do you know that your subordinate, the Assistant Musician, has been abusing his power all the way to the Imperial Academy?"

Li Chunfang was about to speak.

Yuan Gongfu crawled over on his hands and knees, kowtowing to Xia Fengxiang as he said, "This sinful subject is guilty of a crime, I beg Your Majesty for mercy."

Li Chunfang hadn't noticed Yuan Gongfu yet, because he was looking down, practically lying down.

Upon closer inspection, I immediately recognized it.

But Li Chunfang was too clever for his wits and immediately realized what had happened. He looked at His Majesty and said, "I have failed in my duty of discipline and am guilty."

Xia Fengxiang spoke up: "He was recommended by Yang Mu and you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Muhe immediately took a few steps forward on his knees: "It is this old minister's recommendation."

Xia Fengxiang said, "This is actually the first time I've ever seen an official who brings someone with him to remind others to bow. It's also the first time I've seen someone flaunt their official power in front of the students at my Imperial Academy."

Yuan Gongfu dared not speak.

Yang Muhe bowed his head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I was blind and misjudged people. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Xia Fengxiang said with a smile, "What crime have you committed? You've all broadened my horizons. Moreover, the person you recommended, as well as Li Yusheng, your Li Yuanzhuo, and Cen Kao, your daughter Cen Wenqian, are all quite capable. They dare to use the Empress's name to arbitrarily label people."

Those whose names were called were taken aback upon hearing this and quickly climbed to the front.

In particular, the old woman Li Yusheng pulled Li Yuanzhuo up to kowtow to the emperor.

This old woman.

Su Chang'an had met her before; she had attended the banquet for noblewomen.

Hearing the words "I am guilty," Xia Fengxiang continued, "But it doesn't matter. After all, the target is Li Yueyue. You wouldn't dare to touch her, would you? After all, Li Wenyou is still here, and she captured the Tiele Shuer Khan alive for me, which is a great achievement."

No one dared to look up.

But the students around saw the emperor stand up.

"Haste makes waste; there is still room for maneuver." (Imperial)

But when Xia Fengxiang said this...
After kneeling and taking a few steps forward, Yuan Gongfu kowtowed several times, saying, "It has nothing to do with this sinful subject, Your Majesty. It was they who made this sinful subject like this. It was them! I am just a lowly official from a poor family, and I dare not disobey them."

As he spoke, Yuan Gongfu pointed at Yang Muhe and the rest of the group.

Anxious!

Yuan Gongfu was in a complete panic!

He actually knows very little.

But he can guess!
As for why Yang Liaoyuan suddenly acted this way, and why Yang Muhe had him use Yang Liaoyuan's situation against the poor scholar...
Although Yuan Gongfu did not hear Yang Muhe say everything, he could roughly guess.

And that's how it is right now.
He saw things very clearly.

So instead of doing that, it's better to just stand up and do it.

just
Xia Fengxiang glanced down at him and continued, "I allow you to do some things, as long as you don't go too far. But it seems that because of this, you've become arrogant and think you're superior to others. So..."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Xiao Ansheng and his family of three.

Upon seeing this, Xun Kuang immediately led the family of three forward.

When Xiao's parents looked at the emperor, they wanted to kneel down, but Xun Kuang stopped them.

Xia Fengxiang smiled slightly at the family of three, then looked at Yang Muhe and the others: "You kneel while they stand, are you superior?"

Yang Muhe was extremely nervous, and his spirits were also high. He glanced at the family of three and then looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, there are no noble families in the world. We are not superior to others."

Xia Fengxiang asked with a smile, "Then why did you force Xiao Ansheng, a student from a poor family, to his death? Just to oppose me and the Empress? Or do you want the Imperial Academy?"

Xia Fengxiang turned back to his chair. "Or do you think I wouldn't dare kill you nobles?"

Wow!
The instant Xia Fengxiang finished speaking!

Several figures suddenly appeared inside the lecture hall!

Each person stood beside Yang Muhe and the others, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords, their eyes fixed on Yang Muhe and the others beneath their masks.
