Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?
Chapter 266 Digging a hole for yourself
What? The imperial court colluded with the Jin Kingdom and killed its own soldiers? Killed its own people? MD, the royal family is supported by the people, but they don't think about protecting them, but instead they kill the people?
The Ning family has been loyal for generations, guarding the border for the Great Qi Dynasty for two hundred years. Countless of their sons and daughters died on the battlefield without regrets. It is precisely because of these loyal and heroic sacrifices that the royal family can live in peace.
But the royal family did not think of anything in return. Instead, they were jealous of talented people and persecuted loyal and good people. They killed them all and wished to wipe out the entire clan. How cruel and inhumane they were.
This is too much. Is it possible to have a royal family like this?
Although it is said that if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die, but if the king is cruel and unkind, why should they be loyal to him?
In the court, many people were furious and started cursing.
"Has the Northwest gone mad? How dare they? How dare they be so presumptuous?"
"They are ministers, where do they get the courage to question the court?"
All the civil and military officials felt that their authority was challenged and cursed Xibei harshly. Not only the Ning family and Ning Zhiwei, but even Rong Jing was cursed.
Looking at the sharp words, the majestic momentum and the sharp edge, it is clear that they are from Rong Jing's hand.
Good, they are in cahoots and united as one.
What’s even more infuriating is that this occupied the commanding heights of public opinion, portraying themselves as pitiful victims, while the court and the royal family became the evildoers with heinous crimes, which aroused the anger of the people and their dissatisfaction with the court.
"If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they have to die. If the emperor wants the lives of the Ning family, they should obediently offer their heads voluntarily, only then will they be considered loyal and righteous."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent, and everyone's expressions were very subtle.
Which fool is that? Oh, those Hanlin scholars who have become foolish because of reading too much.
A trace of annoyance appeared on Lin Hanlin's stern face, "Am I wrong?"
A civil servant was quite speechless. How many people present were willing to fight to the death for the royal family?
"Yes, yes, yes. Lin Hanlin is absolutely right. He must keep his word one day."
Lin Hanlin snorted coldly, "Of course."
A shrill voice suddenly sounded, "The most important thing now is how to solve the problem. Do you have any good ideas?"
It is Eunuch Quan, the current Nine Thousand Year Old Emperor who controls the East Factory and has tremendous power. He began to preside over the government after the emperor fell into a coma.
Lin Hanlin said without hesitation, "That's easy. We need to solve the problem. We need to send a large army to kill all the enemies, completely destroy the Ning family, and bring the Northwest Army under the control of the court."
Everyone’s expressions are indescribable.
Don't they want to? They just can't do it.
What nonsense can a poor Hanlin like you come up with when even the late emperor couldn't do it?
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice cupped his hands and said, "Good idea. Lin Hanlin is a man of both civil and military talents. I suggest that he lead the troops to the northwest."
Lin Hanlin: ...
He shook his head desperately, "No, no, I am a civilian official, it is not in accordance with the rules, we should send military generals. Our dynasty has so many capable generals, this is the time for them to make achievements and build a career."
Jiu Qian Sui glared at him unhappily, clearly afraid of death, "Who is willing to go?"
No one answered. The generals looked at the sky and the earth, but they didn't look at the Nine Thousand Year Old Man.
Jiu Qiansui was so angry that his eyes were glaring. Everyone said nice things, but when the real trouble came, they all backed away.
"No one wants to go? Then I'll just name them."
"Duke Cheng, you are a veteran, you..."
Duke Chengguo immediately waved his hands and said, "I am old and weak, and I can't even ride a horse. How can I lead soldiers? In my opinion, all the capable ones have gone out. It is better to send an army over."
"This is a solution."
"I think it's feasible too."
Jiu Qiansui looked at the old man who had not spoken a word and said, "Master Prime Minister, what do you think?"
The Prime Minister looked at this group of scattered sands, and said, "I am a relative of the Ning family, so we must avoid suspicion. Everything is up to the emperor."
The situation could be controlled when the previous emperor was alive, but as soon as he died, the country became chaotic. Even with the assistant ministers, it could not be suppressed. The new emperor jumped up and down, stabbed the assistant ministers crazily, pushed out the eunuch group as his minions, and the previous dynasty ran around everywhere.
Various rebel kings rose up everywhere and established their own territories. It’s all over!
A resentful voice sounded, "What else is there to discuss? Now that Ning Zhiwei is seriously injured, the Northwest Army is leaderless. It's the best time to take her life while she's sick."
When everyone looked, they found that it was the Empress in phoenix coronet and bridal robe. Why did she come to the Golden Palace?
"I've met the Queen."
The queen's eyes were full of burning hatred. "Everyone, please stand up, gentlemen. The emperor is now unconscious. Please make a decision quickly and kill the traitors. Ning Zhiwei is unruly and rebellious. Such a scourge must not be allowed to stay any longer."
Her father and brother both died in the northwest, how could she not hate them?
She wanted to kill everyone in the northwest to avenge her father and brother!
"Soldiers, the time has come for you to make achievements. I promise to promote you to higher positions and give you titles without any hesitation."
The Prime Minister rubbed his eyebrows. Even the Queen came out and wanted to be regent. This court was in trouble.
The Minister of Revenue cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have no money."
The Queen was stunned. "What?"
"We have been fighting for so long, the treasury has long been empty. How can we fight without food and fodder?"
The queen rolled her eyes and said, "Then increase the taxes. Increase them a little more. We must raise enough food and fodder anyway."
She only thinks about revenge and doesn't care about the lives of common people. What does that have to do with her?
"Oh, right, pick another group of wealthy merchants and confiscate their property. They are extremely wealthy, but they do not understand justice. When facing a powerful enemy, they do not donate their property to the court as military pay. Then, kill them one by one and confiscate their property as a warning to others."
Everyone gasped, this woman was so vicious.
The censor frowned, "Empress, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
The queen said confidently, "I am the emperor's legal wife and the mother of the country. The emperor is unconscious, so it is only natural for me to make the decision on my husband's behalf."
"The Queen is right." The Nine Thousand Year Old Man openly stood on the Queen's side, and all the civil and military officials looked at each other in surprise.
My goodness, the emperor isn't even dead yet, and they've already started looking for a way out?
As soon as the emperor dies, they will find a successor from the royal family to ascend the throne, and the empress dowager and the nine thousand year old man will jointly serve as regents. This is the idea, right?
The Queen's grief over the loss of her loved ones made her a little crazy.
"If you feel it is inappropriate, then let the officials fill this hole. Please donate your property."
All the officials cried poor, they were so miserable that they didn't even have rice to eat at home and yet they wanted to borrow some money from the court.
In the end, it’s all over. It’s better for my fellow Taoist to die than for me to die.
When the queen's butcher knife turned to the wealthy businessmen, the already turbulent situation became even more chaotic. The wealthy businessmen fled frantically and flocked to other forces.
The queen's reputation instantly became infamous, and the royal family also fell from the altar, no longer as sacred as they once were.
The people were already in turmoil, and the news that the emperor was in a coma spread throughout the streets and alleys. The people felt even more uneasy and began to flee with their families.
Before the military pay could be raised, the imperial power was already shaky and in danger.
Ning Zhiwei fell silent as he watched the wealthy businessmen pouring into the northwest and the large amounts of military pay they offered in exchange for shelter.
What happened? She hadn't done anything yet, but the imperial court was going crazy and committing suicide?
"Commander, the imperial court has sent out troops."
