Chapter 485: Rebellion Begins 5

"You're the one who forced me to this point today."

She cursed while smiling on her beautiful face.

Jiang Wanwan pushed all the blame onto Yuan Xun because she could do no wrong.

Yuan Xun just let Jiang Wanwan scold him and didn't even let anyone stop him.

Every time she cursed, Yuan Xun's heart would tremble.

Yuan Xun, sitting on the throne, felt that it was all his own fault.

He used to not care about Jiang Wanwan, so when the eldest prince threatened Jiang Nanmo, he chose to turn a blind eye without much hesitation.

I care so much now, but it’s too late to regret.

Why did God's love for Jiang Wanwan come so late?

In the end, perhaps because she was tired of scolding, Jiang Wanwan stood in the hall with a calm expression.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yu immediately signaled to Yu's father below to ask him to propose a punishment for Jiang Wanwan.

But when Father Yu saw the look in his concubine's eyes, he hesitated.

He was still not sure whether Yuan Xun had really done anything wrong to Jiang Wanwan. If not, wouldn't he be walking into the sword's hands?

Seeing this, a minister wanted to sell Concubine Yu out, so he immediately stood up and knelt down in front of Yuan Xun, saying righteously: "Your Majesty, the queen is so vicious and cruel to her children and participated in the rebellion. Please sentence the queen to death and behead Minister Jiang to set an example for others."

Yuan Xun, who was originally feeling somewhat gloomy, immediately stared at the minister who made the proposal with cold eyes when he heard it.

"How dare you! This is my family affair. When is it your turn to discipline me?"

The minister seemed to have not expected to be scolded and beaten, and immediately said confidently: "The Queen participated in the rebellion, which is a capital crime. Your Majesty, do you want to let it go? If the Imperial Guards who died defending the palace today are spread, how will the people view the court? This will reduce your reputation."

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting and consider the interests of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

As soon as the minister finished speaking, other ministers immediately echoed him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if this incident is not severely punished, it will cause more civil unrest and turmoil."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the stability and peace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, please severely punish the Queen and Minister Jiang."

"I implore Your Majesty to be clear-headed and handle this matter fairly to maintain the dignity and authority of the court."

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and most ministers supported severe punishment of Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Beichuan.

They all spoke righteously and seemed to be considering Yuan Xun and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Yuan Xun fell into deep thought.

He knew very well that if there was no punishment for this incident, it would certainly make the court and the people dissatisfied.

But Yuan Xun didn't want to punish her at all.

Everything Jiang Wanwan does is part of his process.

It was because he could sense the resentment and grievance in Jiang Wanwan's heart that Jiang Wanwan did such a thing.

At this time, Prime Minister Shen Qingci stood up. He bowed respectfully to Yuan Xun and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to deal with it hastily at this time. Although the queen is wrong, she is still a young couple with your majesty. The Jiang family also made great contributions to your majesty's ascension to the throne, so I think it is not appropriate to punish too severely."

"What's more, Prime Minister Jiang has served three dynasties and deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Although the Queen made mistakes, she knows she was wrong."

Shen Qingci was obviously trying to excuse Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Beichuan, and what he said made all the ministers laugh.

But Yuan Xun looked interested.

Seeing this, the other ministers immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "If Your Majesty does not punish the Queen today, you will kneel down forever!"

Yuan Xun's stern face turned cold, and he angrily scolded: "Are you threatening me?"
