Happy Emperor
Chapter 4: Who is Loyal and Who is Traitorous
Next to the Golden Throne Hall, facing the room.
The ministers sat quietly, some even dozing off.
At this moment, a middle-aged man arrived late.
Seeing this person coming, the ministers who had been listless immediately became energetic.
They all stood up, looking servile and fawning.
"Ji Shoufu."
"Minister Ji."
"grown ups."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and did not speak, but only nodded slightly occasionally.
The person who came was Ji Feng.
"My Lord, I feel like the atmosphere in the palace today is a little unusual. I wonder..."
As soon as Ji Feng sat down, someone came forward and whispered.
Ji Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Minister Li, you're worrying too much."
Just as the two were talking, a eunuch ran into the court room, bowed his waist and spoke softly.
"My Lords, please come to court. The Emperor is awake today and will hold a morning court session."
"This is really rare. The emperor actually wants to hold an early court." Li Shilang of the Ministry of War said to himself.
But his eyes were looking at Ji Feng.
The other officials thought that Minister Li was mocking Emperor Li and laughed along.
They didn't notice that Ji Feng, who was walking in front of them, had a gloomy look on his face.
"Eunuch Cao, where is the emperor?"
The ministers waited in the Golden Palace for a full hour but did not see Emperor Li.
So they began to complain in dissatisfaction.
"My family, my family doesn't know."
The young eunuch hurried to explain.
"Why don't you go and get the emperor?" Minister Li of the Ministry of War was a little anxious.
His words were clearly disrespectful.
If the imperial power was stable, such presumptuous words could even lead to the punishment of nine generations of the family.
However, none of the ministers present thought there was anything wrong with it.
"Who is so anxious to see me?"
Lin Tian finally waited for An Bilie to return, and brought back mixed news.
Only then did he slowly walk into the hall.
Seeing Lin Tian and the Queen walking hand in hand, Minister Li didn't dare to say anything.
As long as the emperor is on the throne, he remains the emperor.
Even when Cao Aman met Emperor Xian of Han, he had to respectfully address him as "Your Majesty".
"The ministers are worried about the emperor's health, so they are investigating."
Ji Feng sat upright in his seat, without even looking at Emperor Li, and just replied in a cold voice.
Then he looked at Ji Lan and saw the queen nodded slightly.
The uneasiness in my heart just now was relieved.
It seems everything is still under control.
Of course Lin Tian saw all of this. This was all his deliberate arrangement, just to catch Ji Feng off guard.
"Go up!"
Lin Tian sat on the throne.
The eunuch behind him shouted in a shrill voice.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor."
"Long live the Queen, long live the Queen, long live the Queen."
The ministers below walked through the scene listlessly, as if singing folk songs.
Of course, during this process, Ji Feng enjoyed the same treatment as Emperor Li and did not stand up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Without waiting for Lin Tian to ask, Minister Li walked forward and said.
"I believe that since the Emperor usually neglects state affairs, it would be best for Your Majesty not to attend an early court session like this."
"How dare you! I won't get involved. Will you take care of Daxia?"
Lin Tian originally wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and he had no excuse to get angry, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door.
"minister......"
"Kneel down! Did I ask you to speak?"
"I..." Minister Li looked at Ji Feng.
Lin Tian's eyes turned cold.
It seems that this old bastard gave the order again.
"Minister Li has disrespected me. I will punish you with thirty strokes of the cane. Go and receive your punishment."
All the ministers present knew that Minister Li was Ji Feng's man.
Emperor Li was not just slapping the Minister's butt, he was clearly slapping Ji Feng in the face.
When Ji Feng heard this, his face turned pale and his eyes flashed with coldness.
It's a shame to bring shame upon oneself! Ji Feng slammed the table and stood up.
"Minister Li is a loyal minister. Why are you humiliating him in public?"
"Do you want to be a tyrant?"
Lin Tian was waiting for Ji Feng to stand up for his dog, so he pretended to be weak and asked.
"What does father-in-law mean?"
Seeing Emperor Li yield, Ji Feng's expression softened a bit, and he said in a cold voice: "Loyal ministers should be rewarded, while treacherous ministers should be punished."
"That makes sense." Lin Tian sneered.
"Who is loyal and who is treacherous? I'm afraid even my father-in-law's family can't tell!"
A cold light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
"My dear ministers, I believe that Minister Li is a traitor, while Lord Ji believes that Minister Li is a loyal minister. What do you think?"
"Are you going to use everyone to pressure me?"
Ji Feng waved his sleeves, and most of the ministers present immediately half-knelt down.
The exceptions were Baturin, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He controlled the military forces of the two provinces outside Shengjing, so he would naturally not submit to Ji Feng, but he would not obey Emperor Li either.
"Who is loyal and who is treacherous? Your Majesty, do you see clearly now?"
Ji Feng's face was full of pride, and his voice was quite disdainful.
"I see it clearly. It's very clear."
Lin Tianhan glanced at the kneeling ministers.
He didn't expect that the bastard Emperor Li would allow Ji Feng to control the court to this extent.
None of the officials in the court spoke up for him.
"Ji Feng, are you forcing the emperor to abdicate?"
Just as Lin Tian was about to lose his temper, a middle-aged official took the lead in questioning Ji Feng.
"It's fine if you bully us normally, but are you going to bully His Majesty? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"I......."
Ji Feng was speechless for a moment. He didn't want to bear the reputation of a rebel. There were too many things involved.
Emperor Li had shown Lin Tian portraits of some important officials in the court before, but he did not have a deep impression of this person.
Lin Tian looked at it for a long time before recognizing it.
Lin Hua, the Prince's Grand Tutor, was a first-rank official, holding a high position.
But he has no real power.
Seeing Ji Feng being humiliated, Minister Li of the Ministry of War began to protect his master.
"Lin Hua, the emperor has no heirs now. You have been unemployed for so many years. How dare you speak so arrogantly?"
"For slandering a loyal minister of our dynasty, I recommend execution."
Minister Li bowed to Ji Feng and said that he not only helped him out of the predicament, but also found an excuse to punish him.
No wonder Ji Feng likes such a flatterer.
"Where is the Minister of Justice?" Ji Feng shouted.
"The subordinate is here."
"You are in charge of criminal law. What is the crime for contempt of this official?"
“This…this”
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice is an old fox who wants to please everyone without fully understanding the situation.
Lin Tian watched everything quietly without expressing his opinion.
Let them make some noise first, he will give these people a surprise later.
"What the hell, how did you become the Minister of Justice?"
Ji Feng looked a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect that these subordinates who usually obeyed his orders would actually cheat at the critical moment.
"Come here, arrest Lin Hua."
Ji Feng skipped over Lin Tian and gave the order.
Seeing that no one came in, Ji Feng shouted again.
"Where are the Royal Guards?"
"Master Ji, you really don't take me seriously."
Seeing that the temperature was almost right, Lin Tian shouted loudly.
"Somebody come!"
"Chen is here!"
The main door of the Golden Throne Hall was pushed open.
An Bilie led the Royal Guards into the Golden Palace and knelt down together.
"Your Majesty, An Bilie, Commander of the Imperial Guard, is always at the Emperor's disposal!"
"Capture the Minister of War and execute him on the spot!"
"Yes!"
"My emperor, my emperor... spare my life, I am a loyal minister!" Upon seeing this, Minister Li hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Only then did he remember who the emperor was.
But An Bilie was quick and decisive after receiving the order.
The knife rose and fell, and Minister Li, who was shouting just now, suddenly shut up. The head did not stay on his neck for a few seconds before rolling down.
Blood spurted from the neck all over the ground.
Everyone was terrified when they saw this.
Some timid people even touched their necks subconsciously.
No one expected that Emperor Li, who usually obeyed Ji Feng's orders, would be so cruel.
