Chapter 174 The Demon Empress

The next day, on the eighth day of November, Man Chen was reviewing the memorials presented by all parties as usual, but Duoge hurried in and said, "Mother, it's not good, the servants under the door cooperated with half of the court officials. Spear King signed a letter in front of the Qing'an Temple, asking His Majesty to abolish the empress and set the court order!"

Man Chen put down the memorial, a condensed light flashed in his clear eyes, "Where did they go?"

Duoge said, "I have already passed the Heqing Gate, and I will be arriving at the Qing'an Palace soon!"

Zhi Rong, who was waiting beside her, also looked anxious, "There are half of them, my lady, what should I do now?"

Man Chen sneered and said, "Let the guards not have to stop them, if they are willing to kneel, let them kneel for a while longer, and I will report back in two hours!"

Duoge was taken aback and said, "But Your Majesty..."

Man Chen said, "Your Majesty has been ignoring the government for many days, so he may not meet them. They are so old and stubborn, and they won't be able to tell the seriousness unless they suffer!"

Seeing that Man Chen had made up his mind, Duo Ge and Zhi Rong felt anxious but couldn't say anything more, so they had no choice but to say yes.

Zhu Yuming and a group of senior officials had been kneeling outside the gate of Qing'an Hall for half a day. Fortunately, it was not summer, but after a long time and no water coming in, these senior officials who had never suffered hardships could not hold on.

Seeing that they had knelt for so long and didn't see His Majesty coming out, everyone felt a little guilty, and some of them already had the idea of ​​retreating.Zhu Yu obviously also noticed this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, most of the people present were elderly people, and it was really not easy to kneel here for two hours.

Kneeling next to Zhu Yuming, Feng Qinghe, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is over half a hundred years old and one of the important figures among the people who pleaded for his life. The door of the hall didn't intend to open at all, so I said to Zhu Yuming, "Your Majesty, I have been kneeling for two hours again, but Your Majesty didn't care about everyone's intentions at all. Everyone really can't hold it anymore, why don't you come back tomorrow How are you?"

Zhu Yuming's heart was anxious, but he didn't say anything on his face, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Your Majesty was bewitched by the demon queen. If you don't let your majesty see our sincerity, how can your majesty listen to you and me? Protect my happiness The heavy responsibility of the dynasty rests on your shoulders and I, everyone must not give up lightly!"

Zhu Yuming did indeed have some talents, and the cadence of his words raised the crowd to an extremely high height for a while, so they couldn't give up anymore and had to grit their teeth to support them.

But at this moment, a young woman in a rust-red palace dress, surrounded by a group of attendants, approached slowly. Zhu Yuming took a closer look and couldn't help showing joy. He bowed his head and said, "I have seen Mrs. Rong!"

The person who came was Mrs. Cong Yipinrong who was second only to Man Chen. She had a dignified manner and an elegant demeanor. She bowed her head like a master and said in return, "My lords, don't be too polite!"

Everyone had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and at this moment they finally saw someone coming, and they immediately became hot.

Feng Qinghe said eagerly, "Madam, your majesty is bewitched by the Demon Empress and ignores government affairs and discriminates loyalty and traitors. I still hope Madam will speak up and give me happiness and peace after abolishing the Demon Empress!"

Mrs. Rong frowned slightly and said, "Abolishing the empress is a major event in the court. It is inconvenient for a woman in this palace to talk too much. It's just that the adults are old and now they have worked hard for the country for a long time. I can't bear to tell my palace I made some simple food, water and wine here, and I hope you adults don’t dislike it!”

They hadn't eaten for two hours, and everyone was already hungry. At this time, Madam Rong came to relieve their urgent needs, and thanked them immediately, "Thank you Madam!"

Mrs. Rong could not help showing a cold smile when she saw everyone gobbling up food one by one standing on a high place. After a while, the coldness turned into reality. Master, eat slowly and drink some water!"

Zhu Yuming said, "Thank you Madam Fuze!"

Feng Qinghe and others also praised, "Madam Zhai has a kind heart, and it seems that she has both talents and is the choice of the middle palace!"

Mrs. Rong said, "Lord Feng really ruined this palace. Queen Man saved my son because of my kindness. How dare I spy on the position of the middle palace!"

Zhu Yuming said, "Madam's words are different. Although the Demon Empress is treating His Highness the little prince, she doesn't allow Madam to visit. It violates human relations, and her heart can be seen!"

Madam Rong lowered her face and said, "Although I haven't seen the emperor for half a year, I can only hope that the emperor is safe and sound, how dare I ask for other things!" She said with a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Some people couldn't help cursing at the moment, "This demon queen insists on breaking up the reunion of mother and child. It is really abhorrent. If you don't get rid of him, there is no justice in this world!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately responded, "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely seek justice for Madam!"

Madam Rong wept, "Thank you all for your kindness, my lord, thank you very much!"

But at this moment, I heard a childish voice shouting, "You temptress, how dare you deceive people here and frame my mother and concubine!"

The sound came suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but look sideways, only to see the crown prince, Lou Yang, who was supposed to be seriously ill for many days, standing under the corridor in full prince's attire, pointing at Bai Nen's little hand fiercely. Where is Mrs.And behind him, it is the target that everyone is determined to attack this time—Queen Man!

Everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly bowed, "His Royal Highness!"

Lou Yang pointed at Mrs. Rong and said, "Hurry up and take down this temptress!"

Madam Rong finally came to her senses when the guards pinned her hands and feet, and said in panic, "What does the prince mean?"

Lou Yangshu scolded, "In order to get rid of this crown prince and make your son ascend the throne, you actually collaborated with your father Shao Taiwei to use the technique of disgusting the father and this crown prince, and even tried to provoke right and wrong to frame the mother and concubine. You have a really good heart." Vicious!"

Madam Rong's complexion changed drastically, "What is the prince talking about? I really don't know anything!"

Lou Yang's face was frosty and cold, he reached out to take the two puppets from the servants and threw them on Mrs. Rong's face, Zhu Chai fell into a panic when he hit her immediately.

"It was found under the bed in your palace. You still want to argue with all the stolen goods. If you hadn't taken off the silver needle on it, how could the prince recover so quickly!"

Mrs. Rong's face turned pale, "I didn't...someone must be trying to frame the crime on me!"

Standing behind Lou Yang, Man Chen sneered, "Madam is talking about someone, but are you referring to me?"

Lou Yangshu said, "Witch, you still want to talk hard when you're about to die. If the concubine mother framed you, then the concubine mother asked you to find the magic stick in Shao's mansion?"

"God stick..." Madam Rong's expression flickered slightly, and she finally said ruthlessly, "I don't know what the prince is talking about!"

Lou Yang said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, you will understand everything after you meet your father and mother in the prison! Take it away!"

"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Rong struggled, "I am your father's concubine, I am the first-rank wife of the dynasty, even if you are the crown prince, you have no right to send me to prison!"

"He can't, I can!" Man Chen took a step forward and said coldly, "But it's really inappropriate to go to the sky prison as Mrs. Rong. Before the incident is found out, let Mrs. Rong be put in limbo. Madam is really innocent, I will give you justice!"

After Mrs. Rong was taken away, Man Chen looked at the people who were stunned by the sudden situation, and said slowly, "Master Zhu, Lord Feng, you have listened to rumors and deceived people into cholera, and I will punish you for the crime of negligence." Are you dissatisfied?"

Feng Qinghe knew that the situation was over, but when he was about to plead guilty, Zhu Yuming said loudly, "Since it is a trick of disgusting victory, why is your majesty still refusing to show up when the crown prince is fine?"

One word woke up the four, yes, there is so much movement outside, why is there still no movement in Qing'an Hall?

Hearing this, Man Chen frowned slightly, but Lou Yang said, "My father has been seriously ill for many days because of this technique of disgusting victory. How can I just say it's okay? Not only are you courtiers ignorant, you are still You can see the heart of this quarrel and sow discord. If you come here, hurry up and take him down. If other people don’t leave and disturb your father’s health, this crown prince will ask you all to go to prison!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and after kneeling here for a long time, they already had the intention of retreating, and now the prince was busy speaking and stood up tremblingly one by one.

Zhu Yuming was still dissatisfied, "The crown prince is still young, and he was also bewitched by the demon queen. We are all loyal, and we will never leave unless His Majesty is safe!"

As soon as Zhu Yuming said this, everyone who had just stood up and was about to leave stood on the spot again, whether to leave or not.

"Bold!" Lou Yang shouted, "You dare to insult the concubine mother again and again, the crown prince will not tolerate you, so hurry up and take it down!"

Facing the guards who surrounded him, Zhu Yuming resisted even more fiercely, "I will not submit, I will not submit! Your Majesty, please come out and make decisions for me!"

Although Lou Yang is young, his face is very bluffing, "The Royal Forest Army obeys the order, and anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Although Zhu Yuming stopped resisting, he said in his mouth, "The prince has no way, the demon queen has cholera, the future of our Kangle dynasty is worrying!"

"Let me cut him off!" A stern cry stunned everyone, but the emperor Kang Chensong was standing at the gate of Qing'an Palace watching coldly.

When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the guards surrounding Zhu Yuming had raised their knives and beheaded him in front of everyone, and the hundreds of people present fell silent instantly.

Kang Chensong stood in front of the hall, although his face was pale, but his majesty remained undiminished, "The guilty minister Zhu Yuming cholera, insulting the prince and queen, it is not a pity to commit the following crimes and die. Although most of the people present are bewitched by him, they should not be forgiven lightly. Everyone present listen The decree, the official demotion to the third grade will be punished for half a year!"

Only then did the crowd come back to their senses, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Royal Father!" Lou Yang saw him from a distance, sweeping away his seriousness just now and showing a childlike smile.

Kang Chen's pine and cypress eyes looked this way, just in time to collide with Man Chen's gaze.I was stunned for a moment, as if they were still the same as before...

"Niang Niang..." I don't know who called out first, and then the calls rose and fell like a tide.

Lou Yang's eyes widened and he watched the people around him fall down in panic, and couldn't help shouting, "Mother Concubine!"
