Chapter 221 Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

The ministers waited outside for a whole day, but Wen Jin said nothing and no one dared to leave first. So, like a pilgrimage, a group of ministers in official robes stood outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion.

Seeing Wen Jin walking out of the palace, all the ministers' eyes fell on his face. Wen Jin ignored the reactions of others and called the Minister of Rites and the two ministers over, "On the fifth day of September, Her Majesty the Queen's enthronement The grand ceremony and the marriage ceremony are held together, and the etiquette department coordinates the inner court to prepare carefully, so that no mistakes can be made. "

"Marriage ceremony?" The Minister of Rites was surprised, "The eldest princess...oh, no, who will Her Majesty get married to? The emperor has already decided?"

"Marry me." Wen Jin spoke calmly, with no other emotion on her face except her usual gentle smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, he turned around and entered the mansion.

"Wait...wait! Lord Chief Assistant." The official from the Ministry of Rites came back to his senses and hurriedly caught up with him. "We are in such a hurry that there is no time to prepare His Majesty's dragon robe and wedding dress..."

Wen Jin didn't look back: "The dragon robe is ready, you don't need to worry."

Is the dragon robe ready?

What...when did it happen?

The Minister of Rites and the two ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder. If the dragon robe was ready, did it mean that the eldest princess had already planned to ascend the throne?

Or perhaps Master Wen had prepared the dragon robe for the eldest princess in advance?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to think deeply. The eldest princess's ascension to the throne is now a certainty. On the fifth day of September, she will be crowned emperor and have a wedding ceremony. Wen Jin will become the emperor's wife.

No wonder Mr. Wen accepted the eldest princess's ascension to the throne so easily. It turned out that the eldest princess had already promised to be the emperor's husband.

"What do you think, sirs?" The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to have finally caught Wen Jin's hand. He turned to look at the other officials dissatisfied, but his voice was lowered subconsciously, "Even the dragon robes have been prepared in advance... isn't that right? Are you just colluding with each other to rebel? Your lords are all loyal courtiers who serve the king and the country with integrity. You will definitely not tolerate such an ambitious traitor to cause trouble to the court—"

"What do you mean, Duke Zhenguo, that the eldest princess is unjustly named for the throne?" A voice as gentle as jade sounded unhurriedly, with a touch of warmth like a spring breeze, and the smile on the corners of the lips did not even increase. One point or one point less, but it made people shiver for no reason, "Or is the emperor's edict on Zen status fake?"

Duke Zhen suddenly turned his head in surprise, and Wen Jin came back for some unknown reason. Now he was standing outside the gate with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a faint smile.

At that moment, the Duke of Zhen seemed to have seen a poisonous snake spitting out the poison, and all the blood in his body froze.

"The eldest... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has just returned a few days ago. The emperor... The emperor's edict on the Zen throne was only written yesterday, but the dragon robe has been prepared. I have the right to doubt——"

"Questioning the imperial edict is a capital offense." Wen Jin spoke calmly, turning his eyes and brushing the sleeves of his robe, "The Duke of Zhenguo not only questioned Her Majesty's throne, but also questioned the emperor's imperial edict, and even questioned the will of God. Such disrespectful behavior will not kill anyone." Not enough to thank the world."

Duke Zhen Guo's eyes suddenly shrank: "Wen Jin, do you dare?"

"Ji Lin." Wen Jin tilted her head, her voice was gentle, even with a hint of pity, "Her Majesty the Queen has ascended the throne. This is your first achievement. The Duke of Zhenguo is treasonous and has questioned Her Majesty the Queen. He will be punished for his crime."

Ji Lin came over and knelt down on one knee: "I humbly obey my orders!"

"Sir, is this...isn't this appropriate?" Someone among the ministers wanted to plead, "When the new emperor ascends the throne, it is time for the world to be amnesty -"

"Okay then." Wen Jin waved his hand lightly, "Seal down the Zhenguo Palace and arrest everyone in the Zhenguo Palace. No one is allowed to be let go."

Is this...is this any different?

Nothing different.

Wen Jin just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but the Duke of Zhen happened to bump into him.

He spoke in a gentle and leisurely manner, making people feel that confiscating homes and exterminating families was a light and easy matter. However, when Ji Lin forcefully ordered people to capture the Duke of Zhen, the ministers could hear the angry and frightened shouts of the Duke of Zhen. : "Wen Jin, you are the sycophant who used chicken feathers as arrows. The eldest princess was blinded by you! You are the one who brought trouble to Chao Gang, and you are also the ambitious one. You must die a good death——"

Only then did all the ministers truly feel their legs weaken with fear.

Wen Jin was a powerful and scheming minister, and everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve the position of chief minister in just three years, but he could kill people so unscrupulously, and with a smile... he was still the first Second-rate.

It really sends chills down your spine.

Ji Lin led the imperial army straight to the Zhen Guo Duke's mansion. The other ministers heard the Zhen Guo Duke's shouts getting further and further away. They breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
