Chapter 1669 I Am the World (4)
Shi Sheng sent those ministers away and asked them to do what she asked.
She walked back and forth in the hall alone.
The original purpose was to punish the murderer.
She doesn't even know who the murderer is now, or the ministers don't even know that the original owner was poisoned to death. The imperial doctor said that it was excessive indulgence that led to cardiac arrest.
God is so overindulgent.
The original owner has never touched anyone at all. There are many beautiful men in her harem, most of them were brought in by Dai's traitorous officials, and some were recruited by the original owner in order to pretend to be addicted to beauty.
In order not to be exposed, the original owner did a lot of work. Not only did she have to coax those beautiful men first, but she also had to have people pretend to be her and do indescribable things with those beautiful men.
The original owner had been very careful, but he still had no clue who had administered the poison, when it had been administered, or where it had been administered.
Dai's traitor party or King Yu
"Come here, prepare some water." Shi Sheng suddenly shouted.
The maids looked at His Majesty Shi who was constantly tossing in the bath, and they were all confused.
Your Majesty, what's going on?
I've washed it several times...
This is not how you get rid of bad luck!
Didn't you wash it when you came back before?
Shi Sheng struggled until midnight before falling asleep. She could sleep, but some people stayed up all night.
…
The queen's return of a fake corpse is a very strange thing, but who knows what will be even stranger next.
The first major event was that the Imperial Guard was found to have collaborated with the enemy and treason, was imprisoned, and was to be executed at a later date.
The second thing is that the queen asked hundreds of officials to pray for her, and she had to kneel outside the Jinluan Hall, rain or shine, for two hours a day. After praying, she was allowed to go to the morning court.
The two imperial edicts made the courtiers look confused.
How come the national advisor turned traitor and collaborated with the enemy when he was doing well? Why did they not believe it so much?
However, the Queen's Party handled this matter very quickly and issued a second blessing edict without giving them any chance to speak for the Imperial Master.
Even if the queen is about to lose her power, she is still the queen, the most noble person in Fengluan. If they don't kneel, it is rebellion and disrespect. To put it more seriously, it is rebellion.
And she didn't kill them, she just made them kneel.
It was common for the Queen's ministers to punish ministers to kneel for several hours, but now it's just that all civil and military officials have suffered a collective punishment and have to kneel.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept.
The imperial master was imprisoned inexplicably, while the other ministers knelt outside the Jinluan Hall and began to pray.
Some ministers were old and pampered. They had been picked up and dropped off in sedan chairs in the previous court, but now they had to kneel outside the Jinluan Hall. Before even an hour, some ministers couldn't bear it.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Do we really have to kneel for two hours??"
"Isn't it said in the imperial edict? Two hours, even a quarter of an hour less, won't work. I'm an old man, oh... I don't know if I can get up after kneeling for two hours."
"His Majesty suddenly ordered the arrest of the Imperial Master, and now he has issued such a weird edict. The more we think about it, the more we think something is wrong... Prime Minister Dai, what do you think of this matter?"
The person who was called Prime Minister Dai was a female official kneeling in the middle. She was about fifty years old and had some white hair on her temples. She knelt with her head straight and her eyes slightly closed. She was completely different from the courtiers who were whispering around her and had different expressions.
Hearing someone call his name, Dai Xu opened his eyes slightly and said, "His Majesty's imperial edict, as ministers, we can only execute it. Your Excellencies, you should save your energy and save it for a while to go to court."
Her voice was neither urgent nor slow, not at all like a traitorous official with great power, but more like a scholar, with the elegant temperament of a scholar.
She paused for a few breaths and continued: "Besides, it is our duty as courtiers to pray for His Majesty. What complaints do you ministers have?"
The ministers who complained constantly did not dare to say a word because of Dai Xu's words.
The royalists exchanged looks with disdain in their hearts. They said something nice in the scene, but among them, Dai Xu was the most hateful. He dared to say such words without flashing his tongue.
Dai Xu ignored those glances and continued to rest her eyes with her eyes closed. She had a premonition that something would happen when she went to court later.
Two hours was enough to kill some ministers. After kneeling down, they felt that their legs were not their own, and they walked tremblingly to the Golden Palace.
The queen's closest female officer came up from the side and shouted, "If you have something to do, leave the court. If nothing happens, leave the court."
"Where is your Majesty?"
"Why doesn't Your Majesty come?"
The ministers were immediately furious. They knelt outside the palace for two hours, and then they left the court without even seeing the queen? ?
The female official looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty was frightened yesterday and is not feeling well. He needs to rest. If you ministers have anything to report, please pass the document to the official, who will forward it to Your Majesty."
Dai Xu stood quietly among the noisy courtiers. She thought there would be a tough battle to be fought in the court, but who knew she didn't show up at all.
The female official made sure that all the ministers were fine, announced her resignation from the court and left the Jinluan Palace.
"Prime Minister, what's going on? Your Majesty is playing tricks on us?" Let them kneel for two hours in vain?
"Master Zhang, be careful what you say." Dai Xu reminded lightly.
This is the Jinluan Palace, the royal palace. You can talk so freely without fear of losing your head.
Mr. Zhang quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that they were all his own. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, in the past three days, could it be that..."
He pointed to his head.
Could it be that his brain has been damaged?
Now that the entire court is almost controlled by the Prime Minister, what else can she do? How dare you torment them like this! !
Dai Xu pondered for a moment, "How is your majesty? I have to ask more."
When she was buried yesterday, she did not go with her, but she sent many people. According to the reports of those people, Her Majesty the Queen walked out of the imperial mausoleum on her own after a loud noise.
She also asked the craftsmen who sealed the mausoleum at that time, and confirmed that when they were in the tomb of the tomb, the tomb door suddenly exploded, and then they saw His Majesty in a bright yellow dragon robe.
In other words, there is no packet dropping.
But her current changes made Dai Xu a little confused as to what was going on. Did she do it on purpose, or did she find some support?
"Prime Minister Dai, Your Majesty has a message for you."
Hearing the sound, everyone immediately looked over there. The female officer who had just left appeared in the hall again at some unknown time.
Dai Xu bent down with a skillful expression and movement. Seeing this, other ministers also bent down.
"According to His Majesty's instructions, Prime Minister Dai Xu is ordered to supervise the prayers of civil and military officials. Anyone who resists the order will be severely punished..."
The female official's voice slowly sounded in the hall, and Dai's traitorous officials all heaved a sigh of relief.
The Prime Minister supervises them so they don’t have to be so afraid and can be lazy appropriately. However, before they could relax, they heard the last words from the female officer——
"...To show the Prime Minister's love for the country and the Lord, the Prime Minister's prayer time has been increased by half an hour. If he protects others, the time will be multiplied. I appreciate this."
