I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

If he is guilty, it must be because others are jealous of the Sheng family for producing two Tanhua scholars and one Jinshi.

Sheng Changbai said confidently: "Your Majesty, my father is loyal to you. You can't treat him like this. You are wrongly accusing innocent people. I really have to doubt whether I am loyal to a wise king."

Zhao Xizhuo said coldly: "Whether I am wise or not is not your turn to judge."

"His Majesty……"

Sheng Changbai not only did not stop talking, his words became more and more intense: "You should wake up and stop being deceived by treacherous officials."

The way he said this makes people think that in the entire court, only the Sheng family is loyal.

Those who speak ill of the Sheng family are all treacherous ministers like Qin Hui, Yan Song, and Li Linfu.

At this moment, Sheng Changbai really thought he was a lone hero in the court, and he complained: "Being close to virtuous ministers and keeping away from villains is the reason why the early Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and keeping away from virtuous ministers is the reason why the later Han Dynasty declined. As the Son of Heaven, you rule the country, how can you be so foolish and reckless?"

The next second, he was responded with a hard slap in the face.

Sheng Changbai only felt a gust of wind sweeping past him, his face burning, his body unsteady and he fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his throat felt sweet and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Zhao Xizhuo laughed in anger: "Good, very good. I have been on the throne for so many years and no one has dared to accuse me like this. You are indeed very brave, but those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish. Anyone who dares to be presumptuous in front of me will only die."

Sheng Changbai was so frightened that he trembled all over and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, how can you..."

"shut up!"

Zhao Xizhuo roared, "What do you mean by 'subject or not'? You are my concubine, you should call yourself 'concubine'. Since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Sheng Changbai was used to considering himself a scholar, so he never imagined that the rule of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs" would one day restrict him.

He was so frightened that he fell to his knees, looking at Zhao Xizhuo with trembling eyes: "Your Majesty, your... your concubine..."

Zhao Xizhuo angrily scolded: "Even if the harem really wants to ask about the previous dynasty, it has to be my wife, the queen. Who do you think you are? You are just a noble lady, not even a concubine, and you dare to speak nonsense in front of me. Who gave you the courage?"

He turned and ordered, "Come here, Concubine Sheng of Lan has disregarded the palace rules and interfered in government affairs without authorization, which is unworthy of a concubine. From today on, the green card will be removed, and you must reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. You must copy the palace rules a hundred times every day and not step out of the palace without an imperial decree."

Aren’t you, Sheng Changbai, self-righteous and don’t want to sleep with the emperor?

Okay, I'll grant your wish and remove your green card, so that you can experience the feeling of being ignored.

Sheng Changbai was so shocked by the overwhelming imperial power emanating from Zhao Xizhuo that he trembled all over and wanted to speak again.

Zhao Xizhuo spat out one word coldly: "Get lost——"

Feeling Zhao Xizhuo's tangible murderous intent at close range, Sheng Changbai was almost frightened to death.

The word "get out" was uttered, and it was like a mountain pressing down on him, as if it was going to crush him to pieces.

Sheng Changbai couldn't bear it anymore and ran out crawling.

……

Sheng Molan was sent to Zhenjiang to serve as an official. When he heard that something had happened at home, he immediately wrote a letter to apologize and begged to return to Beijing to take care of his family affairs.

Zhao Xizhuo not only agreed to her request, but also transferred her back to the capital ahead of schedule to fill a vacant vacancy in the Ministry of Revenue.

As for the position she vacated, it was taken over by an old official who did not have much talent but loved his job and worked diligently for twenty years but never got promoted.
