Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 568
"Empress? What does this matter have to do with the Empress?" Ming Gong saw that Marquis Qi proposed the concubine in person, his expression was gloomy and he became displeased.

"Your Majesty, I have banned the harem from interfering with politics in the first place. This time, Lord Lu Kai is fooling us veterans. If it is indeed the harem's instigation, the veterans can't help but worry that the society founded by King Wu of the Great Zhou will be ruthlessly overthrown by the witch!" Qi Hou spoke eloquently.

"The Marquis of Qi is poor. Even if the queen of the harem gives advice on behalf of the king, there is nothing taboo about it. The harem's participation in politics has precedents since King Wen of the Great Zhou. I rely on my own virtuousness to assist the emperor and create the prosperity of my Great Zhou Dynasty. How can it be said that the harem’s participation in politics will definitely bring disaster to the country? The fact is exactly the opposite, it is the virtuous harem that can prosper the emperor’s career!” Cheng Rong stroked his beard and cupped his hands Rebutted Qi Houdao.

"Well, Cheng Rong, what you said is reasonable, let's talk about the summoning of the princes by the Hojing Beacon Tower, but it is my own idea, and the harem is not aware of it. I can testify to this point!" Ming Gong said seriously.

"Your Majesty probably hasn't heard that the outside world has criticized the Empress Empress. As far as I know, the Empress Empress has been eliminating dissidents in the palace and doing whatever she wants in the palace these years. It's simply unscrupulous. For the sake of the emperor's holiness, I will not be polluted. You risked your life to speak out and tell the king about these things!" Marquis Wei, who was beside Qihou, frowned and said harshly.

"Bastard, Marquis Wei, the rumors and gossip spread by these villains are purely scheming, how can you treat it as a serious matter and blaspheme in the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, don't you think you are ridiculous?" Ming Gong flicked his sleeves , eyes wide open and said.

"Your Majesty, we can no longer allow some treacherous ministers to collude with the harem to recklessly change the country's system. If things go on like this, the hearts of the princes will be chilled. How can the princes dare to be loyal to the royal family?" Jin Hou continued.

"Retire!" Ming Gong's expression changed, he turned his head and told the imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi. "The king has a decree, all the ministers will retreat!" Xiao Ruzi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward to announce.

But after speaking three times, none of the four aggressive princes in the hall moved, and they still stared at Ming Gong unrulyly.

"Didn't you hear me when I said I would retreat? Do you still recognize me as the Son of Heaven?" Ming Gong was furious and raised his eyebrows.

The leaders Jinhou, Qihou, and Weihou did not change their faces, knelt down and said loudly: "Please make an order from the king to severely punish the treacherous ministers!"

At this critical moment, suddenly, outside the Shuilong Shuren Hall, soldiers and horses swayed, and dozens of tiger-been warriors with bright armor rushed in. All the princes.

"The emperor is above, and there are humble ministers here. Let me see who dares to force the palace!" The general stepped up to Qi Hou who was glaring at him, and said a few words coldly.

"Ju Tu, you are Lord Ben's son-in-law, why, do you treat father-in-law like this?" Qi Hou glared at the person in front of him, furiously said.

It turned out that the military general who led the troops into the palace to escort him was General Zheng Guodu. Immediately after Digging, Zhenghou Zheng Bo and Huben General An Tong also rushed into the palace majesticly. The guards of the four princes were disarmed.

"Several lords, you are a hero who knows the current affairs. Before the emperor, you can't make mistakes. Cheng still hopes that you will apologize to the king as soon as possible." Cheng Rong, the cabinet minister, stared at the four princes and said.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Uncle Qin hurried out to smooth things over: "Three Marquises, in my opinion, more than half of the deceived princes had misunderstandings because they did not understand the king's policies at the court meeting today. In fact, the law does not blame everyone , It's all the rumour-mongers' fault, the veterans didn't mean to offend Tianwei, the veterans see, it's better to plead guilty to the king, and ask the king to give him a lighter punishment."
