Chapter 535: Calling the Empress

Your Majesty, you are here to show off, right?

Your Majesty, you are here to show off that you have found a wife, right?

Your Majesty, you came out to assert your sovereignty and tell us that the most beautiful woman in Lin'an is the future empress, right?

Your Majesty, you are here to avenge your wife, right?

People wanted to cry but had no tears. Even the court officials who had just finished their court session and had come specially to catch a glimpse of the emperor's immortal appearance after hearing that he was shopping, were now speechless and had tears in their eyes.

First, clean up what needs to be cleaned up, and then show off your wife in front of those who have not made any mistakes. Your Majesty, can you please not do this? Please consider our feelings a little bit!

It's a pity that if Emperor Zun could consider other people's feelings, he would not be Emperor Zun. He has lived too long, and still lives in a high-handed way. The thought of considering others has long disappeared in the long river of time.

Now there is only one thing and one person that he can take into consideration.

The person is Ye Wenyan, and the question is when can I marry Ye Wenyan.

So the Emperor continued to walk forward, buying things as he walked. Those who had never said anything bad about Ye Wenyan were given silver, and those who had said something bad about Ye Wenyan were directly kicked out. Some stall owners had a good attitude, comforting themselves by saying that at least they were people whose stalls had been kicked out by the Emperor in this life, and it would be worth it to tell their descendants in the future.

The line of people helping to carry things was getting longer and longer, and they were all spontaneous. Because Lord Emperor Zun did not bring many people with him when he came out of Yanhua Palace, there were only Lian Shi, Yun Chen, and two purple-robed palace servants following far behind.

The officials volunteered to help, and after helping for a while, they heard the Emperor say: "I can put these things into the storage space with a wave of my hand, what use do you have for them?" He was talking about things, but in fact everyone understood that what the Emperor meant was literally - what use do you have for them!

People wiped their sweat and once again felt regretful for their suicidal behavior of the previous two days.

As he was walking, His Majesty the Emperor looked up and said, "Oh, isn't this the Princess's Mansion?"

He stopped and stood at the entrance of the Princess's Mansion with his hands behind his back, staring at the plaque "Princess's Mansion" hanging high on the door. He pondered and asked Lian Shi: "Is the Princess of the Quan family dead?"

Lian Shi immediately replied: "Replying to the Emperor, he is dead, poisoned by the Qiuhu people."

The Emperor asked again: "Who pinned this matter on Fourth Miss Ye?"

Lian Shi replied, "It was the First and Second Princes. For this, I asked them to pay one million taels of silver each to the Fourth Miss."

Lord Emperor frowned upon hearing this, "Lian Shi, are you getting senile and confused? They bullied Fourth Miss Ye and committed such a heinous crime, and a mere two million taels of silver can compensate for it?"

Lian Shi quickly knelt down and said, "I am wrong, I want less!"

The Emperor snorted angrily, "Send a message to Chi Hongfang, tell him to bring people to confiscate the two palaces for me, and send all the confiscated items to the First-Rank General's Mansion to give to the Fourth Miss. In addition, bring the two people to the gate of the First-Rank General's Mansion and give them fifty strokes of the cane each."

Lian Shi didn't even think about it and immediately said, "As you command!" He stood up, looked back for a while, and then waved at the two officers standing on the street, "You two are from Lin'an Prefecture, right? Did you hear what the emperor said?"

The two of them were also smart, and they immediately said, "I've heard it all! We'll go back and tell the prefect, and we'll make sure it's done."

After the official left, Lian Shi turned back and said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If this job falls into the hands of Prefect Chi, I guarantee that those two princes will be beaten so hard that they won't be able to get out of bed for a month."

Lord Emperor nodded, "This is a lesson. If it happens again, I will kill you and let someone else rule the Quan family."

Lian Shi and Yun Chen didn't mind hearing this, but the others were scared to death.

If they disagree, the country will change hands. What's more, the person who said this is the emperor. He can really drive the Quan family off the throne with a wave of his hand! Although they are not surnamed Quan, they are ministers of the Quan family. A new emperor appoints new ministers. They have finally survived the transition between the old and new monarchs. Are they going to be buried with the first and second princes again?

Then someone shouted: "Your Majesty, please sentence those two princes to death!" For a moment, everyone agreed.

Yun Chen laughed a few times, pinched his fingers and said, "According to the heavens, the two princes are not going to die yet, so let's wait a little longer."

Lord Emperor did not pay attention to people's calls. He was still thinking about the Princess's Mansion.

"When Northern Qi attacked Qiuhu and killed the royal family, did they collect their bodies?" he asked Lian Shi. Lian Shi replied: "Your Majesty, they did collect their bodies and buried them in the Qiuhu Imperial Mausoleum. This was done firstly to show the magnanimity of the Northern Qi emperor, and secondly because of the relationship with the princess, they wanted to save some face for the princess."

Lord Emperor was unhappy, "How can she have dignity? Why should we consider her dignity?"

Lian Shi said: "After all, she is the biological daughter of the late emperor."

"Oh." The Emperor nodded, and then asked, "How can the late emperor have the face to face me?"

Lian Shi replied again: "I don't have any face."

"Yes." Lord Emperor Zun was satisfied. "Send people to Qiuhu to dig up the emperor's tomb for me! King Qiuhu will open the coffin and whip the corpse!"

"Yes!" Lian Shi immediately ordered the two purple-robed palace servants to do it. Without saying anything, the purple-robed palace servants rode away on horseback.

The onlookers and officials who followed with gifts were all numbed by what they heard. The emperor dug up the graves again. It seemed that the ancient legends were true. The emperor dug up the graves of his ancestors when he disagreed with them. Not only did he dig them up, he also whipped the corpse. It had been many years since Qiu Hu destroyed the country. The corpse must have rotted long ago. How could it still be whipped?

People began to worry about Qiuhuguo, and at the same time they also thought of the family of the second prince consort, who had been kneeling at the gate of the palace yesterday, and no one knew what the outcome was.

Someone whispered something, and the Emperor heard it, so he said to Lian Shi, "Go ask that family if they want to find out the real cause of the Prince Consort's death. If this matter is related to the Princess, let the Royal Family give them an explanation!"

Lian Shi was a little embarrassed: "Your Excellency Emperor, the eldest princess is dead, how can we find out?"

Lord Emperor raised his right hand forward, and a red bead appeared in his palm.

"I have been imprisoning the soul of the eldest princess Quan Qianluo. I will take this soul bead and ask the Ministry of Justice to come to court. Tell the soul in the bead that if she doesn't tell the truth, I will send her soul to the eighteen levels of hell, and then send the souls of her dead husband and children to reunite with her. Let the three of them live together in the eighteen levels of hell, and never be reborn."

The bead in her palm began to tremble noticeably. After a while, people heard the eldest princess's shrill voice: "No! Don't! I'll tell you everything! Don't torture my husband and children. I will tell you the truth!"

Lord Emperor nodded and handed the bead to Lian Shi: "Go!"

This time Lian Shi had to go by himself. He didn't feel comfortable handing over such an important thing to others. So he used his Qinggong skills and rushed all the way to the Ministry of Justice. Halfway through, he heard Jiang Feng calling him from behind: "Eunuch Lian, wait for me, the Minister, I'm here!"

Lord Emperor Zun stopped walking forward, but just walked around the gate of the Princess's Mansion with his hands behind his back. Then he looked at the court officials who followed him and said with an unhappy face, "I have seen some people in the inner city of Lin'an today, and some I have not seen today. But no matter whether I have seen them or not, I have heard some things.

I heard that someone imitated the eldest son of the Ye family chasing the imperial carriage, and did it in a very realistic way; someone also told the story of how I went to the Ye Mansion to discuss marriage and ended up in a bad mood, and told it in a very detailed way;

Some people say that I was bewitched by the witch of the Ye family;

There were even rumors that my marriage with Miss Ye Si had fallen through.

I have lived for more than four hundred years, but this is the first time I have gained such knowledge in the past few days!

I finally picked a girl that I liked, and you just blow her off?

I hold this little girl in my hands and cherish her so much, and you just scold her like that?

Great job! The people in Lin'an Inner City really opened my eyes!

Yesterday, I told Lian Shi that since this group of people from the inner city always make me angry, I should just change them. I don’t have time to teach you, and it’s faster to just give up. So I think you should move away! " "Move, move?" People were all confused, and when they realized what was going on, they all knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Lord Emperor snorted coldly, "I am not asking for your lives, I just want you to move!"

After hearing this, Yun Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, for them, leaving the inner city is a matter of life and death."

"Then take your life! I don't care!"

Everyone is crying, what does it matter to us?

Lord Emperor was annoyed just looking at them, "Alright, now is not the time to move. I will hold a palace banquet in a while. After the banquet, we can switch the inner and outer cities! All of you should go wherever you want and don't get in my way!"

After the Emperor finished speaking, he waved his wide sleeves and said, "Go away! I'm going to go see our Ah Yan. By the way, when you see Fourth Miss Ye in the future, remember to respectfully call her Empress! If I hear you say anything disrespectful to Ah Yan again, you'll all die!"

The emperor left, and the ministers holding the gifts looked at each other, and saw sadness and fear in each other's eyes. But no matter how scared they were, they could do nothing, because the one who made the decision was the emperor, and no one could resist, and no one dared to resist.

Many people's calves began to tremble. Lin'an Inner City was a symbol of status and proof of their superiority. Once this proof was lost, it would mean that all their efforts over the years would be wasted.

Someone asked fearfully, "Are all the people in the inner city moving to the outer city?"

Yun Chen heard this and said, "Of course it is impossible for everyone to move to the outer city. Only those who have said bad things about Fourth Miss Ye and those who have done things against Fourth Miss Ye need to move out. And those who are on good terms with Fourth Miss Ye and have spoken for Fourth Miss Ye, not only do not need to move out, but will also be thanked by Yanhua Palace.

Oh, no, it's not Miss Ye Si, it's the Empress Dowager!"
