The concubine is so charming

Chapter 603
There was a dead silence above the main hall, listening to Liu Qi's shrill shouts that were getting farther and farther away, many people broke out in cold sweat: Is the emperor really going to disregard the entire court situation for Su Yao?

Su Yao had a slight smile on her face, but her fingers tucked into her sleeves trembled slightly. She didn't want to kill, but she had to make a rule today, and besides, that Liu Qi was extremely pedantic.He strictly respects ethics, even his own wife and daughter, but he himself behaves dissolutely, a typical affluent, self-disciplined and strict with others, a complete hypocrite.

Mu Cixiu didn't care about the thoughts of those officials at all, and raised his voice and asked: "Liu Qi is extremely ignorant, and today the Fa-rectification is on the spot to serve as an example to others, I think all of you adults are people of discernment and will not follow in his footsteps. Is there anything else to report?"

The other officials avoided Su Yao's scrutiny one after another. Liu Qi was ignorant and blamed Su Yao, so he died. They didn't want to die yet, so they had to be more sensible and don't hold on to Su Yao.

The officials finally made a compromise, they didn't dare to touch Su Yao's bad luck again, for fear that she would confuse the Emperor's heart again and directly pull them down and cut them down.

"Your Majesty, Mu Qingchen, the lord of Liangzhou City, and Chu Feiyan, the former prime minister, have assembled an army and are heading all the way to the capital. Everywhere they go, they help stabilize the epidemic and treat the people, so that the people heard that the Liangzhou defenders As the approach is approaching, I will not hesitate to open the gates of the city wide and cheer along the streets... The situation is really not good for the imperial court, so I ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to let more people's hearts be lost."

"Where are Mu Qingchen and Chu Feiyan now?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I have crossed over to grab Qiangzhou and came towards Dongning."

"Where's the defenders in Qiangzhou? Don't you know how to stop them?"

The face of the official who answered was even more ugly: "The leader of Cangzhou led tens of thousands of soldiers under him to directly surrender to Mu Qingchen, and they have already been recruited."

Mu Cixiu's expression was not too surprised, after all, he knew what he had done: "It's okay, haven't you arrived in Dongning yet? Just let the defenders in Dongning and Dongjiang guard for a while."

"Your Majesty, the disasters in these two places have been particularly severe this year. Due to the vast waters, the disease is difficult to control. In addition, food was cut off before, and countless people in the city were killed and injured. It is said that even the army has an epidemic. Although it was controlled in time, the situation is still extremely serious. Difficult, I am afraid I will not have the power to fight.”

"As long as you can stop it, don't you think Mu Qingchen and Chu Feiyan are going to rescue the people in the cities? Since the situation in Dongning and Dongjiang is so critical, they probably won't turn a blind eye to it, just to delay their progress. .”

"But in this way, it will definitely cause the loss of people's hearts."

"If the court doesn't do anything like this, why talk about popular support?" Mu Cixiu responded indifferently.

All civil and military officials suddenly looked stiff. Most of them climbed up step by step through the imperial examination. Even some people who owed their ancestors were talented people. In fact, they were very clear about the current situation.

What Mu Cixiu and Chu Feiyan did was an act of benevolence, but the imperial court was already on the verge of collapse.

But what can they do if they understand it, they are now tightly tied to the big ship of the imperial court, if the imperial court is overthrown, they will surely sink and drown, so they have to treat dead horses as living horse doctors and struggle as hard as they can Fan.

Su Yao saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "It's important to have self-knowledge, and what the emperor said is justified, anyway, the court has been rotten to the root, and any more unnecessary struggles are nothing more than a package It’s just a good-looking skin, but it’s still rotten and smelly when you get close, it’s better to let it go, maybe it can still leave a few thoughts in the hearts of the people.”

Everyone didn't dare to refute Mu Cixiu, and they didn't dare to speak directly to Su Yao's face, they could only distort their faces and turn blue with anger.

Mu Cixiu smiled softly: "Yao Er is right. I have read all the notes you wrote, and they are just empty words. None of them can really stop Mu Qingchen and Chu Feiyan if they are put into practice. , The memorials you wrote after hard thinking and meditation are full of nonsense, what good ideas can be discussed now? Let’s leave as soon as possible.”

"Your Majesty..." Many courtiers knelt down and wept bitterly, their appearances were very pitiful.

Su Yao watched coldly, only feeling full of sarcasm: I don't know whether these officials are really crying that the court is exhausted, or they are crying about their own tragic fate.

At the beginning they attached to Chu Feiyan and showed incomparable obedience, but once Chu Feiyan lost power, they could turn their heads and surrender to Mu Cixiu, and now they should try the taste of suffering.

Su Yao slowed down and looked at these officials with different expressions seriously one by one. After a long while, he smiled softly and left lightly with his skirt swaying.

Everyone just felt that such a gorgeous red was dangling in front of their eyes, as if it would turn into dazzling blood in the next moment.

"Yao Er is in a good mood?"

"Those officials were fools in the past, but now they can only kneel on the ground and struggle helplessly. Seeing them end like this, I naturally feel happy in my heart." Su Yao turned to look at Mu Cixiu, with a slight smile on his lips, always indifferent Between the eyebrows and eyes was actually stained with a trace of warmth like jade, "You..."

Mu Cixiu stopped in his tracks: "What's wrong with me?"

"The first time I saw you, your temperament was very cold. Even if you smiled, there was no warmth between your brows and eyes. But looking at you now, I feel that your temperament is much warmer."

"Is not it good?"

"I don't know if this is good or not, but I don't think you need to deliberately imitate Chu Feiyan." Su Yao looked at Mu Cixiu calmly, and his aura resembled Chu Feiyan more and more.

The smile on Mu Cixiu's face slowly disappeared: "You can always hurt people to pieces with just a few words, Yao Er, it's not good to be too smart."

"It's even worse to deceive yourself, just like Mu Ninghua and I, no matter how similar we are, we are completely different people inside, will you mistake us?"

"Of course not."

"So, even if you become Chu Feiyan, I will not mistake you."

Mu Cixiu looked at the slowly rising sun in the distance, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his deep eyes: "Yao'er, are you really not afraid that I will become angry from embarrassment?"

"I've heard a saying that those who are favored are always confident. I am a special existence to you. If you were willing, you would have wiped me out long ago. Why wait until now? So I am not afraid."

Mu Cixiu laughed softly: "That's true, I really don't want to part with it, so don't just do whatever you want, but whatever I can do, I will do my best for you."

Su Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Send the Supreme Emperor to the defenders of Liangzhou City."

"It seems that you went to see him yesterday and had a good chat, but today you will intercede for him." Mu Cixiu turned his head, with the sun slowly rising behind him, "Yaoer, the Supreme Emperor is Chu Feiyan's biological father, and his status Especially special. As long as he is in my hands, I will be sure to use him as a hostage to ruin Chu Feiyan's reputation."
