To Rule in a Turbulent World

The courtiers wanted to ask Chao Chao to blame—everyone had betrayed him, and he could no longer be the emperor.Even Pingxi and others reached an agreement with Tang Bo, and now as long as the Zhengshitang issues an edict, Nie Dan and Li Zhifeng will be released.

Then the Yangzhou army outside the city will enter the city and set off a mutiny.

"You forgot that there is another person." You Miao said, "Tang Hui's Imperial Forest Army is vegetarian?"

Ping Xi said: "Tang Hui was rescued by you, he listened to you."

You Miao took another step forward and whispered in Pingxi's ear: "What if you don't listen? I know what you mean, open the city and let the Yangzhou army come in. They will listen to Nie Dan. Then they will fight with the Yulin army." If so, what will the people in the city do? Do you want to remonstrate with the army, or do you want to abolish the establishment? If you want to abolish the establishment, it is easy to abolish it, but who else do you want?"

"The King of England, Zhao He." Tang Bo also came back, and said to You Miao and Ping Xi: "Mr. Urgent report, send General Li to bring him back, and everything will go smoothly."

"What crime do you use to abolish the establishment?" You Miao said angrily: "There is no evidence? Can you stop the mouth of the people?"

Tang Bo frowned and said, "There is no evidence? Civil and military officials are the evidence! Don't say there is no evidence, if you really want evidence, who can't come up with evidence?! Now no one in the court will convince him anymore! You Ziqian, what do you think?" good!"

You Miao said: "So? Are you going to fabricate evidence and tell the world?"

Pingxi and Tang Bo were silent, You Miao said: "There is no evidence, don't expect me to issue an edict, if you want to accuse the emperor of murdering his father, you must first show the evidence. Besides, I have resigned today and am no longer in charge of the political affairs hall. Yinxi. If brother Tang has made a plan, he can do it on his own."

After all, Tang Bo didn't dare to write a letter hastily, and the three of them stood in a stalemate here, and no one spoke.

After a while, another person came, this time it was Qin Shaonan.

"Your Majesty has agreed to open the coffin for an autopsy." Qin Shaonan said, "What should we do now?"

You Miao couldn't help laughing: "One or two of you, what are you doing running towards my political affairs hall? Go back to the palace."

"When is it!" Ping Xi really couldn't help You Miao: "You can still laugh?!"

Tang Bo said in a low voice: "Master You, I brought you back the memorial. Not only His Majesty, but also the courtiers are not allowed to resign today." He took out You Miao's resignation paper and handed it to You Miao , and said again: "Shangshu Ping and I will go back to the palace right away to see what the autopsy results are. Don't forget what you promised, at least you must finish this edict before you can leave."

You Miao took a deep breath and said tiredly: "Got it, let's all go, go back."

Qin Shaonan suddenly said, "You Ziqian, I have a question for you."

You Miao was silent, Ping Xi and Tang Bo were about to leave, but they stopped when they heard this.

Qin Shaonan said: "You tell the truth, based on our friendship for so many years, you tell me the truth. It was a coincidence, or it was planned."

You Miao said: "To tell the truth, I have planned this matter for a long time. I was the one who was supposed to be the envoy, and let the prince abdicate. Unexpectedly, it was handed over to Li Yan halfway, and it came out like this."

Tang Bo said again: "So he really ordered Li Yan to do this?"

You Miao said: "I don't know."

"But based on what I know about him." You Miao murmured: "With his attitude towards General Nie, and his behavior of coming to the Political Affairs Hall last night, it would not be his original intention. What's more, your decisions are all good. It's too arbitrary, what if this matter really wants to be mentioned in the front-line report? Could it be that Li Zhifeng didn't find out? If this matter is really due to God's will, who can make the decision?"

You Miao raised her eyes to look at several people, and said again: "Please go ahead, gentlemen."

You Miao thought to herself, Zhao Chao, this is the last thing I can do to help you. At this juncture, I still have to protect you, not for anything else, but for your two life-saving graces in Yanbian and Languan.

After Tang Bo left, You Miao simply did not go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Anyway, Li Zhifeng went in, and no one dared to touch him.You Miao pondered for a moment, called Cheng Guangwu, and asked him to go out of the city, hurry up, go back to the villa to get some things, check the movement in the city by the way, and give him the official seal to release people from the city gate.

Then he waited in the political hall.

In the afternoon, martial law in Maoxian County began. You Miao knew that this was Tang Hui's arrangement, but what use was martial law in Maoxian County?What should be reversed will be reversed sooner or later.

At noon, Tang Bo came back with a pale face.

"How about the autopsy?" You Miao asked.

Tang Bo replied: "It's no different from what the report said."

Tang Bo only said this, and stopped expressing any opinions, and went back to the hall. You Miao knew that the rebellion that had almost started had finally been successfully stabilized.

Perhaps all the ministers also knew that the autopsy was ineffective, so they said that in the morning, but the best time has passed, and now there is no evidence, no one can overthrow Zhao Chao.Thinking of the situation in the morning, You Miao felt terrified. If another child were to become the emperor, the court would inevitably become a place where the gentry competed for interests again.When the powerful ministers control the government, I'm afraid there will be another bloodbath.

You Miao changed her clothes and knelt down in front of Sun Yu's mourning hall.

"Sir." You Miao said: "I have done everything I should do, and I have done what I shouldn't do. You have passed away, and no one tells me what to do. Everything comes from the heart of the student..."

"...The rest depends on the fate of the country." You Miao murmured: "Students can only guarantee that they will not regret what they have done in the future."

You Miao bowed respectfully and kowtowed three times.Then Cheng Guangwu took a box and went out of the political affairs hall.

"Master You."

Before leaving, Tang Bo chased him out.

Tang Bo asked, "Where is Master You going?"

"Enter the palace." You Miao said, "Personally hand over the letter of resignation."

Tang Bodao: "Nowadays, the situation will affect the whole body. I suggest that Mr. You should stay and wait for the future. The [-] Yangzhou troops are still waiting outside. Today's matter is not over yet."

You Miao waved his hand and said, "Tonight at the latest, the matter of the army can be solved, don't worry."

Tang Bo watched You Miao leave there, with mixed feelings in his heart, it was really not a good feeling.

You Miao, however, had already made up her mind, and asked Cheng Guangwu to drive through the criminal department, to the back door of the palace, and let someone inform that the servants would come over immediately, saying that His Majesty is here to welcome you.

Unexpectedly, You Miao stopped in the imperial garden, handed the box in her hand to the servant, and said, "You give this to Your Majesty for me. I won't go in."

The servant said: "Your Majesty is alone in the imperial study, and it is said that you will meet me."

You Miao said: "I don't want to see you, you just do as I tell you."

The servant had to take the box and the memorial and send them to the imperial study.

Zhao Chao was exhausted, took the paperwork and threw it aside, and said, "You let him in, and I promise him that I will never make things difficult for him, but I just want to discuss something with him."

The servant bowed and was about to leave, but Zhao Chao said, "Wait."

Zhao Chao opened the box that You Miao handed over, unwrapped the flannelette, and saw a molar wrapped in it.

That was Zhao Chao's molar that was beaten for You Miao back then.

Zhao Chao was silent for a long, long time, and the sun was setting towards the west, and the evening sun shone into the imperial study room, and was cut into fragments by the window panes.

Zhao Chao sat on the dragon chair, like a clay sculpture.

You Miao sat on the railing of the imperial garden, looking out at the courtyard.

When it was getting dark, the servant came over with a handbook and handed it to You Miao.

The servant said: "Your Majesty has ordered, please come back to the palace with General Li after Mr. You has finished his work. Your Majesty has important matters to discuss."

"Yeah." You Miao responded casually, took the order, and went out of the palace to the Ministry of Punishment.
