Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 272: The hen crows at dawn, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Northern Qi, Shangjing City.

Since the Empress stopped attending court half a month ago, the whole city of Shangjing has been in a very strange atmosphere.

This was mainly because of the rumors that were spreading everywhere, that Queen Chen Luo was a witch who wanted to usurp the throne!

There is no deliberate prevention, and some people are deliberately spreading it!

In just a few days, the rumors spread throughout Shangjing City, and now they have spread throughout the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, and even to the border towns of Qing Kingdom!

Everyone is waiting for Queen Chen Luo to react!
As everyone knows, Queen Chen Luo of Northern Qi is the real controller of Northern Qi. Her trusted Jinyiwei even replaced a whole group of court officials of Northern Qi!
In the eyes of many people, these rumors will soon be quelled, after all, the capabilities of the Jinyiwei are there!

But surprisingly, these rumors not only failed to be quelled, but became more and more rampant!
The Embroidered Uniform Guards did not take any action to quell the rumors, and even the local government offices did not take care of the matter!
It’s as if I had never heard the rumor at all!
This also caused the rumors to spread more and more, and become more and more outrageous!

However, Chen Luo's prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though rumors are spreading, there are still many people who believe in Chen Luo!
But no one knows how long this belief can last!
Three people make a tiger. If you hear it many times, even if it is false, it will gradually become true!
Although the current Shangjing City is still prosperous, the pedestrians on the road and the shop owners on both sides of the street all have sad faces!

Everywhere you can see scholars gathering in groups of three or four, discussing this matter!

Perhaps it was because the people of Northern Qi preferred scholars. Whenever scholars debated this issue, a large number of people would gather to watch!

Sometimes even the streets are so blocked that people can’t walk!

"The Queen is the Phoenix Girl of Heaven's Destiny as Imperial Master Ku He said. She has brought prosperity and prosperity to our Northern Qi!"

"If it weren't for the Queen, our Northern Qi would still be in a dead silence, without hope, waiting to be destroyed, just like a fish in a small mud puddle on a dry riverbed!"

"Although the Empress, as a woman, participated in government affairs and pushed for reform, her achievements are indelible!"

"The rebellion is even more ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

"It's obvious that someone is deliberately making up rumors to undermine the Queen's reputation!"

"His evil intentions deserve to be punished!!"

The scholar in white clothes held a scroll in his hand and spoke in a stern voice.

As soon as he said this, most of the onlookers applauded and cheered.

But there was still a part of the people who did not move. Some of them looked hesitant, some looked indifferent, and some even had sarcastic expressions!

Especially the scholar in black who was sitting opposite the scholar in white laughed out loud with disdain.

"A hen crowing at dawn is indeed absurd and should be punished by death!"

"Even if Chen Luo has made contributions to Northern Qi, so what? Doesn't it mean that people who have made contributions don't have to be punished after making mistakes?"

"But Chen Luo himself said that if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people!"

"What's more, Chen Luo is not even the emperor, he's just a hen that helps the rooster crow!"

"This Northern Qi belongs to the Zhan family, it belongs to the people, not to Chen Luo, a Qing citizen!"

"As soon as our queen came back, she couldn't wait to hold a ceremony to crown her. After the ceremony, she slaughtered the entire royal family, and even the ministers who opposed Chen Luo in the court were purged!"

"In order to consolidate power, they want to carry out reforms and overthrow the old system established by our ancestors. This is digging up the roots of our Northern Qi!"

"I, Li Mu, had previously believed that this evil woman who brought disaster to the country was a great sage and the bearer of the world's literary fortune. I even respected her as a teacher and read her words every day!"

"I never expected that... it would really make scholars like me feel sad and angry!" "I, Li Mu, have no intention of living if I dare to say these words here today. Let the evil woman let the Jinyiwei arrest me. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the evil woman will cause chaos in Northern Qi!"

"As scholars, we cannot watch Northern Qi fall and its foundations be destroyed!"

As he spoke, Li Mu suddenly choked up, and later on he burst into tears.

The words, which sounded like a roar, made the people around them freeze in place, and they were unable to react for a long time.

Li Mu, who was pretending to wipe his tears, saw this and winked at several people in the crowd.

The few people who received the order did not hesitate, and all stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The evil woman who brought disaster to the country should be killed!!"

"This evil woman who brought disaster to the country should be executed!!"

Gradually, more and more people were infected and couldn't help but shout along.

The commotion here also attracted more people to stop and after listening to Li Mu's story, they also joined the shouting crowd.

The same scene occurred everywhere in Shangjing City.

After being suppressed for more than half a month, the people who were eagerly waiting for an explanation but received no response at all were almost going crazy.

I began to believe these rumors, believed that the Queen and the Emperor were not on good terms, believed that the Queen wanted to seize power but was imprisoned by the Emperor and has not been released to this day!
On the second floor of Xianzhuju, there were guards with knives standing on the stairs, and guards standing by each window. There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the guarding was extremely tight.

In the largest, most luxurious and most heavily guarded box, three middle-aged men sat around the table, listening to their subordinates' reports, all with cheerful smiles on their faces.

When they heard that the people had gathered and were heading towards the palace, they all laughed out loud. The shrill laughter echoed in the room, making the guards frown, but they dared not say a word.

After all, the three people here are not ordinary people, but one of the four most powerful families in Northern Qi.

The Qian family who is in charge of the imperial merchant business, the Li family who runs the No. 1 restaurant in the world, and the Zhang family which has produced three prime ministers!

The three people inside are none other than the patriarchs of the three major families!

The head of the Qian family is Qian Youcai, the head of the Li family is Li Hu, and the head of the Zhang family is Zhang Qiming!

Although the four major families no longer have any power in the court, they are still able to cover up the sky with one hand among the people and are more majestic than the court!
Any one of these three people who steps out will be personally received by the six ministers!
There are even rumors that the four major families joining forces are enough to shake the entire Northern Qi!

"I really admire Patriarch Li's wisdom. When it comes to inciting the people, your Li family is more experienced!"

It sounds like praise, but if you listen carefully you can actually hear sarcasm coming from Qian Youcai's mouth.

While speaking, he toasted Li Hu with a smile, as if he was really praising him.

"Patriarch Qian is joking. When it comes to wisdom and strategy, Patriarch Qian is still the best. He killed his father, brother, and younger brother, and in just half a year, he took control of the entire Qian family!"

"In terms of tactics and wisdom, Patriarch Qian is definitely the most powerful among the four major families in our family, bar none!"

The burly Li Hu was not angry, but he did not show any mercy and directly mocked back.

Qian Youcai, who was so fat that he couldn't even stand up, still had a smile on his face when he heard Li Hu's words. He was not angry at all because of Li Hu's words.

After all, this is true!
"That's enough. I didn't call you here this time to let you mock each other!"
