In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Shen Yuzhong saw her majestic aura and that Emperor Ming seemed to be thinking about something. He took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and pointed at Mu Jinan:

"Are you saying that Your Majesty is not as good as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty? Are you saying that Your Majesty is not a wise ruler?"

Prime Minister Lin took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. He knew that Emperor Ming was the most proud and claimed to be the greatest emperor of all time, so he immediately shouted angrily:

"Minister Mu, you slandered His Majesty, you should be killed"

In Mu Jin'an's mind, Empress Wu Zetian did not send a single princess to marry during her reign.

However, Emperor Ming sent out nine princesses for marriage, three of whom were married to the Xique tribe, and four of whom were married to the Qixuan tribe.

Even in the records, the two beheaded princesses only had their years of death, but no dates of birth.

How sad it is, being sacrificed in exchange for peace, but no one actually cares about her.

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows and stood up. He had been trying to find something to hold against Mu Jinan, and he flew into a rage:

"Mu Jinan, you are so rude. You dare to criticize me and compare me to the Emperor of Han."

"Marriage is the greatest honor. It means not sacrificing a single soldier, fighting for the country, and protecting the people. You are the descendant of the Li family princess, and you are also the daughter of a general."

"I will confer upon you the title of Princess Yifang, and you will go to the Qingque tribe to marry her in seven days."

"The daughter of the royal family, Huaiyu, was named Princess Jingle and went to marry the Qixuan tribe."

Mu Jinan suddenly laughed. The old emperor finally stopped hiding his true colors and was no longer a rat hiding in a dark ditch.

She also made preparations today. Looking at Emperor Ming's expression, she knew a little about medicine. When she tested poison in Zhaoyue Palace that day, she had doubts in her heart. She saw that Eunuch Gao was no longer serving by his side.

Mu Jinan took a step forward, her petite body transformed into thousands of swords and looked directly at Emperor Ming:

“What if I don’t go?”

Emperor Ming sneered, stood up, pointed at Mu Jinan, and wanted to kill her at this moment:

"Don't go? What's your reason for not going? Are you trying to disobey my order?"

Mu Jinan saw that he had a fierce look on his face, his lips were blue, his brows were black, and he was a little gentle:

"Your Majesty, please pardon my death sentence and argue with me. If you win, I will marry you and ask all the civil and military officials to withdraw."

Emperor Ming was confident of victory, and he slowly sat down, with his fingers on the dragon chair, as if with deep meaning, signaling the ministers to leave, and then said coldly:

"you say"

Mu Chen and Mu Jingyi were extremely worried. Mu Jingyi looked at the imperial guards and then at the imperial guards. The ministers were all waiting quietly outside the Xuanzheng Hall and the hall door was closed.

Mu Jinan stood in the hall. In addition to Emperor Ming who was high above him, the eunuchs beside him lowered their eyes and listened quietly. The guards stood not far away. Her voice kept echoing in the hall, striking directly into Emperor Ming's heart:

"In this feudal slave dynasty, men are the supreme rulers, rule the country, and lead the army."

"It was the man with great power who was too ambitious and provoked the war. It was clearly me who killed the traitor An Xuan, but now he wants to sacrifice a woman like me to marry."

Emperor Ming gripped the dragon throne tightly with his fingers, pursed his lips, twisted his brows, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. Everyone knew these words, including him, but he was unwilling to admit that he was foolish in his later years.

He was about to speak when he suddenly coughed a few times, his face flushed red, and he pointed at Mu Jinan. Yu Neiguan patted him on the back:

"Your Majesty, be careful of your dragon body and don't get angry."

Mu Jinan raised a cold smile at the corner of his lips, and actually walked up the stairs step by step, looking into Emperor Ming's eyes. Seeing his face darken and his eyes filled with coldness, every word he said was heartbreaking:

"You are an emperor, worshipped by the people, but you cannot control yourself. You forcibly take your daughter-in-law, are blinded by lust, neglect state affairs, waste your harem, and have 40,000 maids."

"A horse gallops through the dusty world and the concubine smiles. You think you are a legend that will be passed down through the ages, but future generations will all laugh at you."

"Your Majesty, you are the only one who is wrong! You allowed the treacherous to frame the loyal and honest, and condoned the military expansion and recruitment of talented people by the military governors."

"People's lives are hard, and it is difficult for poor people to get a job. You can neither protect the people nor afford to offend the powerful."

Emperor Ming suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Mu Jinan. He was the emperor who was high above everyone else. When the emperor was angry, millions of people would die. Who dared to talk to him like this? He stared at Mu Jinan while looking for the sword and stammered:

"you you..."

The imperial guards beside him looked at Yu Neiguan and just comforted Emperor Ming:

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry and have a little girl to show you your knowledge."

Because he did not forget that it was his brother who was late in delivering the lychees and was whipped to death.

Mu Jinan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yu Neiguan, looking at his grandfather like a little fox.

That's all. Those in power despise the lower classes the most. For them to have to endure advice from their subjects is more humiliating than losing the throne.

Mu Jinan's warm fingertips touched the glittering golden dragon throne and found it tempting. The emperor's throne, the supreme ruler, with the power of life and death, no wonder people fought for it and got bloodied.

A desire and ambition she had never had before appeared in her eyes. She wanted to seek justice for those princesses who were married off to foreign countries.

"Those who have done the most to save the world are the sons of the common people, while those who have fought in the battlefields and died on horseback are those who cannot return to their hometowns."

"Am I marrying for the sake of the people of the world? No, I am marrying for the foolish emperor and the princes who hide behind the people. For them, they enjoy comfort and pleasure, are cowardly and incompetent, and don't blame everything on the defenseless people."

Emperor Ming wanted to stand up and draw the sword, his legs trembling, and he fell on the dragon throne, spitting out a mouthful of blood that splashed on Mu Jinan's deep crimson official uniform. She had changed into the uniform specially for today.

Emperor Ming could only see her clothes clearly at this moment. She stood in front of him, taller than him. Emperor Ming was panting:

"Come here, kill this traitor for me"

Mu Jinan's fingertips touched Emperor Ming's lips, and a pill slipped between his lips. Yu Neiguan stepped back and saw nothing.

She wiped the blood, the ground was clean, the throne was shiny, she stood up and said the last few words:

"You were born into a royal family, enjoying all the honors, and your small achievements should be praised by the world?"

"The world is so big that there are many people from humble backgrounds who can achieve great things as emperors."

"In this era where people are treated as worthless and human life is worthless, what is there to praise about an emperor like you from a feudal dynasty?"

"The evil you committed in your later years is ten thousand times greater than your merits, and you will be infamous forever."

Mu Jinan smiled at him with a mixture of sarcasm and joy of victory, adjusting his official hat, his eyes shining like stars.

She was standing, yet seemed to be sitting.

He was sitting, but also seemed to be kneeling.

The change of power happens in an instant.

Emperor Ming was speechless, with a smile on his face, watching Mu Jinan walk out of the palace, and a voice came:

"Your Majesty summons His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Master Meng enters the palace."

The ministers were whispering, and although they were far away, they could see that Emperor Ming was sitting steadily on the dragon throne, his eyes were bright, and he looked fine.

Mu Jingyi watched her come out and felt relieved.

Crown Prince Li Xu entered the palace, walked up the steps, and knelt before Emperor Ming. He had waited too long for this moment. From this moment on, he no longer had to worry:

"Father, you are old, why don't you abdicate and let your son govern the country for you"

Emperor Ming suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, OK, OK, I'll listen to you."

Li Xu looked into Emperor Ming's eyes and said word by word:

"Crown Prince Li Xu is kindhearted and good at governing the country. I am old now, and I will abdicate. Crown Prince Li Xu will succeed me. The new emperor will ascend the throne. I hope all of you will assist me wholeheartedly."

...

Li Xu signaled the guards to open the palace door and the ministers entered the palace.
