Chapter 251 The Demon Concubine's Advice
Emperor Yuxuan was already angry that he had not killed Han Mingguang before, and now after hearing what Concubine Hao said, he was even more resentful of Han Mingguang. He frowned, his eyes revealed a hint of viciousness, and he secretly thought about how to get rid of this thorn in his side. He quietly turned his head and whispered to Concubine Hao: "My beloved concubine is right. I wonder if my beloved concubine has any good way to kill them?" His voice was low and eager, like a child eager to find an answer.
The good concubine raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile. She gently leaned close to Emperor Yuxuan's ear and whispered softly. I saw that Emperor Yuxuan's face gradually showed a happy expression, and there was a bit of sinister and complacency in that smile. Seeing this scene, the ministers under the palace couldn't help but feel nervous, they knew that this good concubine was going to make trouble again.
The ministers looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry and helplessness. They were all thinking about how to deal with the situation. However, facing the stupidity of Emperor Yuxuan and the treachery of Concubine Hao, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Hmm!" After listening to the good concubine's plan, Emperor Yuxuan laughed three times, and the laughter seemed particularly abrupt and harsh in the silent court. He said loudly: "My beloved concubine is right. If you are not the elite soldiers and generals sent by me, can you win the battle?"
His words were full of conceit and arrogance, as if the victory was entirely his own achievement and had nothing to do with the soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield.
Prime Minister Fan Cheng couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that! Without good generals and ingenious strategies, it would be difficult for an army of 50,000 to win! The contributions of Xiao Sizhe and others in this battle in the north are indelible! They fought bravely on the battlefield and commanded well, which brought about this hard-won victory.
Your Majesty, you should reward people according to their merits, instead of listening to slander and persecuting them!" The Prime Minister of Fancheng's voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes revealed his persistence in justice and his loyalty to the country.
Qi Ge Lao also stepped forward and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the most commendable thing is that they moved their troops back to the capital but did not ask for any reward from the emperor. They only have the country and the people in their hearts. Your Majesty should cherish such loyal ministers and generals!" Qi Ge Lao's tone was full of earnestness and anxiety. He hoped that Emperor Yuxuan could wake up and not be deceived by the slander of the good concubine and the national teacher.
"Humph!" Emperor Yuxuan listened to the words of the Prime Minister and Qi Ge Lao, but snorted coldly. His heart was full of jealousy and resentment. He was jealous of the talents and prestige of those meritorious officials, and resented that they did not obey his orders.
He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Let's not talk about these for now. We'll talk about them later. Now let's talk about the important things!" There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.
When the ministers heard Emperor Yuxuan's words, they felt even more confused and uneasy. They didn't know what idea the evil concubine had given Emperor Yuxuan that made him ignore the opinions of the ministers. They all widened their eyes and looked at Emperor Yuxuan nervously, waiting for his next words.
"Xiao Sizhe promised me that if Beidi returned victorious, he would offer me the secret of immortality. I have waited until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, but he didn't even say a word when he came back!"
Emperor Yuxuan's voice was full of anger and disappointment. He originally thought that Xiao Sizhe would obediently offer the secret of immortality, so that he could live forever and enjoy wealth and glory. However, Xiao Sizhe's silence dashed his hopes. How could he not be angry?
When General Xiao Sanlang heard what Emperor Yuxuan said, he couldn't help but feel worried about Xiao Sizhe.
He stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, that’s because Xiao Sizhe hasn’t remembered it yet, but I believe that once he remembers it, he will definitely tell Your Majesty.
Please give Xiao Sizhe some more time to recuperate. "General Xiao's eyes were full of sincerity and expectation. He hoped that Emperor Yuxuan could understand Xiao Sizhe's situation and not force him too much.
Hao Fei's eyes lingered on Xiao Sanlang in a very subtle way.
Emperor Yuxuan snorted again. He didn't believe what General Xiao said at all. In his opinion, Xiao Sizhe deliberately didn't hand over the Changsheng Jue in order to keep the secret to himself.
He said coldly: "By the time he thinks of it, I will have to wait forever! From today on, each of you ministers will take turns to invite him to this hall. If you fail to invite him, then this minister has no ability and is not qualified to stand in this hall!"
Emperor Yuxuan's words were full of threats and oppression, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.
When the ministers heard this, their faces turned pale instantly. They knew very well that this was the conspiracy of the evil concubine, whose purpose was to make them enemies with Xiao Sizhe so as to achieve her ulterior motives. However, facing the order of Emperor Yuxuan, they were helpless. They could only pray in their hearts, hoping that Xiao Sizhe could survive this crisis safely.
The entire Mingyang Palace fell into a dead silence, with only Emperor Yuxuan's angry breathing echoing in the air. The ministers lowered their heads, their hearts filled with worry and anxiety.
They didn't know how the court situation would develop, nor did they know what their fate would be. At this time, the good concubine smiled smugly, with a gleam of conspiracy in her eyes, as if everything was under her control...
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Emperor Yuxuan swept the hall with his majestic eyes, and saw that all the ministers lowered their heads and were silent. The whole hall was silent. Emperor Yuxuan saw this and felt very proud. He knew that these ministers dared not resist in the slightest under his majesty. So, he slowly cast his eyes, which were somewhat playful and provocative, at the good concubine beside him.
"My beloved, go and see who should we start with?" Emperor Yuxuan's voice sounded in the silent hall, which seemed particularly abrupt. His tone was full of pride and expectation, as if a wonderful farce was about to be staged.
When Concubine Hao heard Emperor Yuxuan's words, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold but charming smile. Her autumn-like eyes flashed with a cunning light, and she gently raised her slender fingers and began to slowly sweep across the faces of the ministers in the hall. Her movements seemed casual, but they were full of deliberate arrogance and rudeness.
"You!" The sharp voice of the concubine suddenly sounded, and her finger pointed directly at an old minister with gray hair.
The old minister trembled slightly, and a trace of anger flashed across his face, but he suppressed it in an instant. He raised his head and looked at the concubine calmly, without any fear in his eyes.
