Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

As the emperor listened to the music, he heard Concubine Yu speak up, "Your Majesty, you have seen that Prime Minister Yakeshi has been taking advantage of his favor for so many years, and now he is even more lawless. You see, he is now picking on my brother and doesn't even take Your Majesty seriously."

After hearing what Concubine Yu said, the emperor gradually believed what she said and started to get angry. He said to Concubine Yu, "This Yin Yichen, for so many years, I have wasted my trust in him. He really disappoints me."

"That's right, Your Majesty. You have to teach him a lesson. You can't let him continue to be so arrogant." Concubine Yu played the zither and continued to speak to the emperor, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do now? I'm afraid you have already made a plan in your mind, right?"

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Concubine Yu in confusion and asked, "Concubine, what do you think I should do to suppress his arrogance?"

Seeing that the emperor had taken the bait, Concubine Yu immediately said to him, "I think we should lock him up and put him in solitary confinement, and let him reflect on his mistakes in the palace. When he is willing to admit his mistakes to my brother, Your Majesty will release him. What do you think?"

After hearing this, the emperor immediately began to think about the feasibility of this matter. He still felt a little doubtful and said, "Yin Yichen is the prime minister of the dynasty. If he does something like this, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will have opinions."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at the people in this entire palace. I'm afraid that few of them like Yin Yichen. This opportunity to kill his arrogance will give Your Majesty a chance to establish your prestige in front of civil and military officials. Your Majesty, just listen to me. I won't harm you." As soon as Yu Meiren said this, the emperor on the side also began to be tempted.

The emperor immediately said to Concubine Yu, "Well, when I go to court tomorrow, I will sentence Yin Yichen to go to the palace and reflect on his mistakes. I will let him go when he apologizes."

"Your Majesty, I know it. Your Majesty treats me the best." Things felt better for Concubine Yu. She immediately put down the zither in her hand, stood up and sat next to the emperor.

The emperor put his arm around Concubine Yu's shoulders and said to her, "My beloved, it is such a blessing for me to have you now."

"Of course, in the entire palace, Your Majesty can't find anyone as gentle and lovable as me." Concubine Yu said this and leaned on the emperor's chest, looking like she had the emperor in her heart. "I am thousands of times happier than others to have your majesty's favor in my life. As for other things, I dare not ask for anything else."

The emperor did not disappoint Concubine Yu's expectations. The next morning, he reprimanded Yin Yichen in the court, "Yin Yichen, you are the prime minister of the current dynasty, but you are not doing your job. You only know how to fight for power with Gu Jie. Gu Jie was promoted by me. You are being so mean to him. Aren't you trying to slap me in the face?"

Yin Yichen saw the emperor act like this, as if he had expected it. He immediately stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I did not do this intentionally. It was just because Governor Gu acted too ostentatiously and wronged many good people. As the prime minister of this dynasty, I really have to intervene in this matter. I hope Your Majesty will take a closer look. If Your Majesty sends someone to investigate, you will know that what I said is not false."

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Yin Yichen and said slowly, "You think you are right to be against Gu Jie? I have really given you too much face these days, and you have developed such an arrogant and domineering personality. You don't give face to me, nor to the civil and military officials in the court. Who do you think you are? Your glory and wealth are all given to you by me. Without me, you would definitely not be able to take a single step in the court and the capital."

The prime minister Yin Yichen had not been treated like this in the capital or the imperial court for so many years. Now, seeing this scene, the people of the entire imperial court were all frightened.

Yin Yichen used to be a man who could call the wind and rain in the court. Although new ministers replaced old ministers one day, Yin Yichen was at the best age. Although the current emperor favored Gu Jie, it was a rare thing for him to reprimand Yin Yichen like this.

Yin Yichen was not surprised by the scene. He just said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will definitely reflect on my mistakes in the future and not let Your Majesty worry about me anymore."

The emperor heard Yin Yichen say this but still refused to forgive him. He immediately said to Yin Yichen, "Do you think I will forgive you if you give in now? You are so disrespectful to Governor Gu. If you apologize to Governor Gu now, I will consider whether to forgive you. Otherwise, you should stay in the palace and reflect on your mistakes. When you apologize, you can leave the palace."

After hearing this, Yin Yichen just smiled faintly and said, "Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, why do you need to ask me to apologize in front of you?"

"How dare you! I have spoiled you too much these days, allowing you to yell at me like that. Come, drag Yin Yichen out and make him reflect on his mistakes facing the wall in the Yellow Palace. Release him when he has figured it out." The emperor had a dark face at this moment, and seemed to be really angry.

Yin Yichen looked at the guards around him and immediately said to the emperor sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, thank you very much."

Yin Yichen was not in a hurry, but Song Jing and Song Lan who were standing behind him were extremely anxious. Song Jing immediately stepped forward and pleaded with the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is still young after all. Please forgive the Prime Minister this time for all the hard work you have done for the court over the years. I'm afraid the Prime Minister will understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts when he reflects on his mistakes in the future."

After hearing what Song Jing said, the emperor immediately said with a dark face, "Yin Yichen, I have really spoiled you these days, allowing you to shout like this in front of me. Come, drag Yin Yichen away and let him reflect on his mistakes in the palace. Release him when he has figured it out."

The emperor repeated what he had just said, which surprised all the court officials. Now, many people saw that something was wrong with the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor sitting on top covered his forehead with his hands, looking like he had a headache.
