Chapter 154 City Fortress 3
Are you so happy to die?

Yueying's face was displeased, and she said patiently: "How do you say that?"

The old official said: "A, B, C, D, East, West, South, and North are sixteen heavy industry officials. Do you think they all follow your orders?"

Seeing that he seemed not afraid to speak clearly, Yue Yingying said, "Of course I know that Director Gao is the leader."

The old official shook his head: "Wrong! What kind of ability does he have as an eunuch? Why should I listen to the eunuch's orders?"

Isn't it because the emperor is incompetent and listens to the slander of villains?
Realizing that this was another important clue, Yue Yingying changed her attitude and respectfully asked him for advice.

"Anyway, you are going to die, so it doesn't matter if I say it or not." The old official squinted his eyes and said, "It's just that you are young and miserable, and you were pushed up to be the lamb who died for you at only 17 years old. My son's blood is splashed in the court, and you must remember that you will sue the emperor of the kingdom of God when you get off the king of hell, without his support for the high-ranking officials, you would not die like this!"

The old man was cheerful, as if a funny scene of a head falling had already appeared in front of his eyes.

Yue Yingying has come to her senses. It turns out that this is not just a matter of one city. Although it is not interconnected, the hand of power that can influence has been stretched out and taken root more than ten years ago.

This explanation, which is obstructed by external forces, is obviously much smoother than the fact that the country's leaders are all a bunch of trash waiting to die.

"So all this is caused by the emperor of the Kingdom of God?" She looked at the old official suspiciously, "But why did you tell me? Are you not afraid that I will tell the emperor?"

"Haha!" The old official stroked his beard and laughed loudly at the sky, "Go! Just go!"

He looked Yue Yingying up and down again, nodded and said something inexplicable: "Are you still a child? Yes! God Ying likes perfect people!"

Such offensive words did not make Yue Yingying angry, or she was more surprised when she heard it.

The old official walked past her to chat with the other officials who were also dressed in dark scarlet, leaving her alone to think.

Yue Yingying thought about it for about five or six minutes. During this time, she overturned the idea of ​​wanting to fight the Confucians, and changed an idea to protect herself.

Turning her head, she walked towards the Ming and Qing Palace.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Flat body."

Although it was an early dynasty, there were not many officials in the whole hall. After all, it was just a small city with 10 people, less than the number of a county town in reality.

Yue Yingying stood at the front, on the right was a heavy-backed military general, I don't know if he was strong or fat, and there was no one on the left, followed by seven or eight officials, followed by Li and heavy industry officials.

She looked up and saw that the emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on top of the main hall. He looked only in his early twenties, and the manager Gao who was following him was holding fresh grapes in one hand and holding a whisk in the other, talking to the emperor with his head bowed and bowed. .

But the emperor was listless today, propping his head and waving his hands: "There is something to announce, nothing to retreat to the court."

"Report to the emperor! I have something important to say!"

The heavy industry officer who was beaten in the morning came out of the team, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I want to report that Prime Minister Yue has deceived the king and ignored him, and I have violated the will of the emperor!"

"Oh?" The emperor suddenly became interested, straightened up from the chair, and moved his buttocks forward, "Quickly tell me, why are you resisting and not obeying the order?"

"At Maoshi today, I was getting up early to see the progress of the repairs, and I was already halfway there. Who knew that Prime Minister Yue wanted to see me make a fool of myself, so he sent someone to take off my black gauze hat, so that I could appear in front of the people with a disheveled appearance. It doesn't matter if it gets damaged, but His Majesty personally ordered the minister to be a heavy engineer, so taking off the minister's clothes, wouldn't it be the same as taking off His Majesty's clothes? It's one of them."

"Secondly, Prime Minister Yue knew the law and violated the law, and he insisted on opening a warehouse to distribute grain despite the dissuasion of his ministers! Your Majesty, those who ate your grain are unfinished thugs! How can you give the royal grace to those people? What about people? Isn’t this knowingly breaking the law and dragging your Majesty’s face on the ground?”

"Presumptuousness——" Chief Executive Gao squeezed his throat and stopped, "You little heavy engineer dare to speak falsely about His Majesty, what should you do?"

The heavy engineer kowtowed again and again: "I am wronged, Your Majesty! Everything I said is true. I am not disrespectful to Your Majesty. It is my loyalty to Your Majesty that makes me risk my life to speak out!"

Manager Gao lowered his head and asked with a lost smile, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay, don't do that, it's very annoying!" The emperor pointed at Yue Yingying casually, "You! How do you want to die?"

"I don't think I'm guilty, and I don't want to die."

"Oh?" The emperor smiled symbolically, "The former prime ministers made mistakes, and either knelt down and begged for mercy, or would rather die than submit. How come you have such a weak reaction?"

He turned his head and glanced at Manager Gao, frowning to express his dissatisfaction.

Manager Gao understood, straightened up and shouted: "Bold! How dare you not kneel? Where is the Imperial Forest Army? Take him down!"

"Wait!"

Yue Yingying walked unhurriedly to the middle of the court hall, and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the reason why I don't kneel is because I have Wu Cuo, why should Wu Cuo kneel?"

Manager Gao replied on his behalf: "You despise the emperor, are you not wrong?"

"That's right! Because I have a clear conscience, I didn't disrespect the emperor at all."

"Opened a warehouse to release grain without permission, and even ordered someone to take off the black hat of the heavy worker officer. Didn't you do this?"

"Yes, and no." Yue Yingying turned around and pointed to the heavy engineering officer kneeling on the ground, "He didn't wear a hat, because I didn't wear a hat at the time, and since neither of us wore a black hat, it shows that we are doing good work." Is it not allowed to do private affairs other than official positions? Why do you want to ruin His Majesty's face?"

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "One person doesn't wear it and two people don't wear it can indeed be divided into two meanings, but what do you say when you open a warehouse to release food?"

Yue Yingying said: "Your Majesty, I saw that the common people were starving to death, so I gave them the food!"

"She?" The heavy industry official retorted loudly, "That's not what the prime minister said at the time! You said that you were acting on His Majesty's order to deal with the heavy industry official's non-investigation. Dare I ask, when did your majesty make the order?"

"The heavy industry officer is so confused! Could it be that the position of the prime minister as the official is just a display?!"

The heavy engineer was taken aback.

It, it is indeed a decoration!

However, this doesn't seem to be possible.

The heavy engineer had no choice but to look at the emperor, and the emperor looked at Director Gao, who squeezed his throat and shouted: "Bold! Even so, you should first inform His Majesty!"

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and there was no room for the minister to hesitate any longer! But the heavy worker officer, if he hadn't worked the people too hard, how could he let the people be on the verge of starving to death?"

The heavy industry official said: "Those people didn't finish their work, so they didn't eat according to the law! This is the imperial court's order!"

The emperor also had an expression of agreement.

Unexpectedly, Yue Yingying went on to say, "There are only rules for building walls in the law. How can there be any special rules that don't give food to the people? It is clearly His Majesty's will that you, heavy workers, have a good life." Building the wall, feeding or not for the common people is decided by you the day after tomorrow! It’s not your Majesty’s will.”

The emperor rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "It seems that I did not say that there is no food if I don't work."

"That's right, whoever wants to make such a decree, wouldn't he be justifying his reputation as a tyrant?" Yue Yingying asked the heavy engineering officer, "What are your intentions?"

The heavy industry officer was dumbfounded: "This, this, this... everyone is doing this!"

The emperor went to see Manager Gao again, and Manager Gao said, "Bold! Who allows you to talk about Your Majesty? Although Your Majesty didn't make such a decree, he also said that the Heavy Industry Officer has the right to supervise the people."

"That's exactly what I want to say."

I thought that when it came to Yue Yingying, there was no room for refutation, but I never thought that this is what she was waiting for.

"May I ask Your Majesty, which is greater, the supervision power of the heavy industry officer or the ownership of the royal family?"

"Of course it is me! I have the supreme power."

"But what I saw when I was in Mao today was that the heavy industry officials were unfavorable in supervision and deliberately tossed the people, causing the people to become disabled and weak and unable to serve your majesty." Yue Yingying raised her head, "Your Majesty, please think carefully about what the heavy industry officials did. Does what you do count as contempt for your majesty? Knowing that the people belong to the imperial power, but still dare to intentionally injure them, isn’t it just stabbing His Majesty in the back?”

The emperor glared at the heavy engineer unhappily, slapped the throne hard, and went to see Director Gao again.

Manager Gao didn't know what to do, he pointed at Yue Yingying and said, "Don't argue, it's all your fault anyway."

After a while of talking, who knew that the two biggest officials in the court just wanted to see her die.

Yue Yingying looked back at the heavy industry official, and sighed with determination: "I don't admit my mistake, because everything I did this morning was for His Majesty's thoughts, and it was all because of the heavy industry official's outrageous words, calling the people to be troublesome." People, dare to ask Your Majesty, if His Majesty's people are all troublesome people, then what should Your Majesty be?"

The emperor was really impatient this time, he couldn't even sit on a chair: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

"According to the minister's words..." Yue Yingying smiled, "The heavy engineer should be sentenced to the death penalty of rolling and stabbing the bed."

All the gentlemen are silent, they are all puzzled what is the meaning of this rolling thorn press?
The emperor said: "What is a rolling press?"

"Take two bed boards the size of a human being, nail them with silver thorns, lay one on the ground, and lift the other up manually. After the prisoner lies on it..."

Yue Yingying quietly raised her head to take a look, the dog emperor's eyes lit up.

She immediately took a step forward: "Report to Your Majesty! Dare to ask which inch of Weicheng's land does not belong to His Majesty? Even the minister is loyal to His Majesty, and only His Majesty has the power to dispose of him! How can the heavy engineering officer be here today to dictate to the minister, Talking nonsense? If he is not executed immediately, His Majesty's image may be damaged!"

"Okay!" The emperor was eager to try, and excitedly pulled Director Gao's sleeve, "What are you still doing in a daze? Take a snapshot and do what she said!"

"This..." Director Gao looked puzzled, "Then about the sacrificial offering?"

He whispered: "You have to have a perfect body and a very noble woman to be loved by God Ying!"

The emperor struggled again.

Yue Yingying saw that no matter whether it was reasoning or catering to cruel preferences, it didn't work.

She frowned and could only resort to the last trick.
