Chapter 324 The Emperor's Wrath
The ministers all looked at Yan Li in unison, with complex and confused expressions.
"Auspicious?" A smile of surprise appeared on Jiang Yi's face, "If even the empress and the high priest of the Southern Kingdom, who are thousands of miles away, think that Yan Li is the auspicious sign of Jin, this fact will be more convincing. There are rumors outside that 'God "Phoenix Returns" is undoubtedly credible and is not someone deliberately spreading rumors. "
As he said that, he turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you think so?"
Emperor Wen nodded: "Someone has reported in front of me long ago that the eldest princess is the return of the divine phoenix, and that the Jin Kingdom will usher in earth-shaking changes... It seems that this is far from a rumor, but a true prophecy."
"Father is right." Yan Jin bowed and saluted, "My son also believes that the imperial sister is the auspiciousness of the Jin country. Since the emperor's sister returned, the Jin country has indeed changed from the stagnant calm of the past. Some of the old and decadent systems should have been long overdue. This time is an opportunity to break and reform. ”
Yan Zheng, Yan Chen and Yan Yun looked at him expressionlessly, looking at the biggest "traitor" among the four brothers, with resentment in their eyes.
"There has never been any contact between the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. How could their high priest calculate that the Divine Phoenix has returned from the Jin Kingdom?" General Rong was obviously dissatisfied and reluctantly asked, "If the eldest princess is really the Divine Phoenix, why was there no such prophecy in the Mu Kingdom?" ? From Yichen's perspective, it seems more like a conspiracy devised by someone behind the scenes, in order to allow the eldest princess to take power naturally, and then overthrow the legal system that has existed in Jin for hundreds of years... Please tell me from the emperor, don't let this happen. The insidious villain was deceived and fell into their trap!"
"General Rong, do you mean that the emperor has become so dim that he cannot distinguish between right and wrong?" Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at him with a cold and sharp light, "From the first day when the eldest princess came back, Rong The general just raised his nose and raised eyebrows at her, no matter how he looked at her, she didn’t like it. According to me, the person with ulterior motives is clearly you! "
General Rong's expression changed and he knelt down quickly: "I don't dare."
"Who dares you?" Jiang Yi sneered, "Apart from Qi Shangshu and his son, you are the most daring in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty! The return of the eldest princess has harmed your interests, and it has also hindered your ambition to rise to the top of the world, so that you are everywhere Go against her?"
General Rong was told something that was on his mind. He couldn't help but clench his hands and said in a strong tone: "I'm just telling the truth, I have no selfish motives."
"I beg the Queen to calm down." Yan Chen came out and knelt down, "General Rong is a military commander and speaks straightforwardly. It is the nature of a military commander to ask questions in person when he has questions. He has no other bad intentions. Please be aware of it."
"I'm not a fool. I can still tell if General Rong has bad intentions." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Brother Second Emperor, there is no need to rush to defend him."
Yan Chen said nothing, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he had long hated Yan Li to his core.
"Yan Li has been left in the country of Mu since she was born. She has lived as an orphan for fourteen years. She has been wronged and I have always felt guilty in my heart." Emperor Wen looked at Yan Chen who was kneeling on the ground and said with some disappointment, "The Queen and I owe her a lot. We thought that when we brought Yan Li to the Kingdom of Jin, the four royal brothers would protect her like a treasure and be humble and protective of her in order to make up for the debt I have owed to him over the past fourteen years."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the four princes changed little by little. As if they had a premonition of what the emperor was going to say next, Yan Zheng and Yan Yun walked out of the queue without saying a word and knelt down.
"However, everything is due to my self-righteousness and sentimentality." The emperor sneered, "The debt that I and the empress owe to our daughter seems to have nothing to do with others, and no one thinks that compensation is due. You all think that you are the prince and you deserve what you deserve. Everything you want, but you have completely forgotten that the reason why you have such a wealthy life today and the reason why you still have the opportunity to fight for the throne here is because the queen wronged her daughter and spent all her energy on you! "
"You can deny it, deny it all, think that the queen is doing it for herself, that the queen is willing to do it, and it has nothing to do with you. You can also selfishly think that the emperor's family should be unkind and unjust - these are all yours. I have no control over rights.”
Emperor Wen took a deep breath, and his tone became more serious: "But the throne is my throne, and the country is the country that the queen won for me. You people who just enjoy the success are not qualified to teach me how to do things!"
Although the emperor's dragon body was weak, the majesty he had cultivated for many years in a high position had already been engraved in his bones. At this moment, the thunderous anger still made people's hearts palpitate.
"I deserve to die!" All civil and military officials in the court knelt down, "Please, Your Majesty, please calm down, and please Queen, please calm down!"
Yan Zheng knelt on the ground, clawing at the palace brick floor with both hands. A cold breath slowly spread in his lungs, reaching his bone marrow.
