Chapter 50 The Storm Arrives

"This is this..." The running eunuch palace maid and servant suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the Han soldiers who were opening.

The palace was extremely strict, and it was normal for soldiers to run around. However, as now, the Han army did not say that they had come, but they also surrounded the Xuanshi Hall. It had not happened in the history of the Han Dynasty, so it would be impossible to be surprised.

If they hadn't seen Zhou Yang coming with the army, they would have thought the Han army was in a palace transformation and would have forced the palace.

Zhou Yang was Emperor Jing's son-in-law and was highly valued by Emperor Jing. He would never do anything about palace changes.

"Don't make any statement!" Zhou Yang's face was serious and he ordered loudly.

Those eunuchs, palace maids and servants were all clever people. They knew that this was not what they should ask about. Although they were curious, they just didn't ask about it and went to work hard.

Under Zhou Yang's command, the Han army soldiers surrounded the Xuanshi Hall and were incomplete.

Zhou Yang's orders were extremely strict, and there was no sound except for the sound of footsteps.

The Xuanshi Hall was surrounded, but the ministers in the hall were still whispering and quietly discussing. The most common thing was, what happened to Emperor Jing? It was time to go to court, why didn’t they come yet? Emperor Jing was not here for a long time, and the more anxious they were to make contributions.

"The emperor is here! All the ministers are working in the morning!" Just as the ministers were anxious, Chuntuo's sharp voice sounded.

"Huh!" The ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could make contributions.

Emperor Jing was fluttering in his sleeves, wearing an imperial robe, and a crown on his head, and strides with great strides. His face was relaxed and vigorous, but he was a little tired and his steps were a little frivolous.

When he arrived in front of the imperial throne, Emperor Jing sat down.

"See the Emperor!" The ministers greeted him.

"Forgive!" Emperor Jing waved his hand.

The ministers thanked each other and returned to their seats and sat down.

"I have a report and I will retreat to the court without any trouble!" Although Emperor Jing was determined to kill, it was no different from usual. He said a very smooth sentence, and there was nothing strange at all.

"I have a memorial!" As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, Li Qing immediately reported.

Since he heard Princess Guantao's words yesterday, he has been impatient and eager to report to Emperor Jing immediately. First, second, third, and one night, it seems like a year has passed for him.

"Oh!" Emperor Jing raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Da Xing Ling, what's your business?"

"I request the emperor to establish an empress as soon as possible!" Li Qing turned to the topic.

"Da Xing Ling, are you?" Dou Ying was shocked. The matter was agreed upon and he came forward. Why did Li Qing snatch him from the front? He couldn't help but be surprised and asked. When he turned his head, he found that Zhou Yafu was standing beside him.

Li Qing poured out the saying that he had already thought of: "The position of the harem should not be silenced. Now there is no master in the harem. I also ask the emperor to choose the virtuous among the concubines to establish them, so as to ensure the position of the harem to avoid the people's expectations!"

"Who do you think is the most virtuous?" Emperor Jing asked again.

There is a show! Emperor Jing is kind and has a faint smile on his face, as if he is commending. Li Qingda was excited and his tone was a little high: "I think that among the concubines, the most wisest is Empress Li, and I also asked the emperor to make Empress Li the queen."

"Li Qing, Empress Li is your sister, you are her brother, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?" Emperor Jing frowned, but he was not angry and asked indifferently.

"Emperor, I will not avoid relatives when I select the virtuous. Niangniang Li is the sister of the minister. She has always been virtuous, and I dare not refuse to recommend him." Li Qing became more and more happy and his voice became higher.

"Emperor, what the Great Xing Order said is very true. I think Empress Li is the most virtuous." Dou Pengzu was not willing to fall behind and was busy going out to discuss the matter.

"Marquis Nanpi, do you think so too?" Emperor Jing asked without joy or anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dou Pengzu affirmed.

"Emperor, this is a memorial written by me and Marquis of Nanpi. Please read it." Li Qing hurriedly took out the memorial and held it high in front of him.

Chuntuo quickly stepped forward, took it over, and presented it to Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing took it, looked it briefly, threw it on the imperial desk, and asked, "Who else thinks so?"

"Report to the emperor, the eldest princess thinks so too." Li Qing couldn't help but feel very happy when she thought of Princess Guantao's words.

"My sister?" Emperor Jing said with a thick eyebrows and shouted: "You are talking nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, it's true, it's true!" Li Qing hurriedly affirmed.

"Your Majesty, it's true, it's true!" Dou Pengzu hurriedly agreed.

Dou Ying's pupils shrank, and she secretly called out that the big thing was over!

Sure enough, his thoughts were just right, and Emperor Jing suddenly stood up, his face was as heavy as water, and he shouted: "Come on! Pull these two things out and chop them up!"

"ah!"

Li Qing and Dou Pengzu fell to the ground from the clouds, their mouths wide and their eyes widened, and they didn't believe it at all. Emperor Jing was not happy or angry at the moment, and was very angry at this moment, and he actually wanted to kill them.

"Boom!"

The palace gate was pushed open. Zhou Yang was wearing military uniform, with a Han sword hanging on his waist, and brought a team of soldiers in. In the astonishment of the ministers, Zhou Yang waved his hand and the soldiers rushed forward, held Li Qing and Dou Pengzu, and pushed out.

Except for a very few ministers who were quick-minded, most people were still stunned and thought, "Why did Zhou Yang come so quickly?"

Those ministers with agility had already thought that Emperor Jing had arranged this matter long ago, otherwise Zhou Yang would not have appeared at this moment. Although there were soldiers outside the hall to guard it, it would be impossible for so many people to come and move so quickly.

Dou Ying was very flexible and realized in a flash that they were all wrong, and they were ridiculously wrong. Emperor Jing had no intention of making Empress Li the queen, rewarding her and saying good things, but just showing them to them. He wanted them to jump out so that Emperor Jing could deal with them.

Dou Ying, who thought about this section, was scared again. If this matter was not Li Qing, but Dou Ying raised it, he would probably be the one who took it out of the hall.

Dou Ying was shocked again, glad that he had escaped and saved his life. Power is a good thing, but he must be killed. He has no life. What's the use of power no matter how high it is?

"ah!"

After a long time, the ministers woke up and burst into screams.

The ministers who made up their minds to make a contribution were even more scared and sweating profusely on their foreheads. Some people couldn't stand and staggered.

At the same time, they were a little bit of glad. If Li Qing hadn't rushed to say that Princess Guantao would have thought so, and they would have scrambled to say it, then a disaster would have been coming.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Gong, Dong Zhongshu and the others' eyes, and then they returned to normal. They understood that Emperor Jing was so angry that he was determined to kill Li Qing and Dou Pengzu. No matter what, it was useless.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am wronged!" Li Qing finally understood that he hit the knife and hurriedly called for justice.

"You are wronged?" Emperor Jing snorted coldly and shouted: "You are in a high position in the Great Xing Order. What are your virtues? What can you do? If you want to say that the wrong is the court, the wrong is the people. The people pay taxes to the court and the court gives you salary, which is a waste!"

Li Qingyi is a stupid man and has no talent. The reason why he can achieve a high position in the Great Revolution is that he is the elder brother of Empress Li, otherwise he would not even be able to get a man.

After Emperor Jing asked him, he was really stopped. He opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't speak.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged!" Dou Pengzu was almost frightened and finally woke up and shouted for justice with a hoarse voice.

"What virtue do you have? What can you do? You dare to be a marquis!" Emperor Jing was furious and shouted loudly.

If Empress Dowager Dou Pengzu, the Marquis of Nanpi, hadn't forced Emperor Jing to force Emperor Jing to say, "Your uncle died before he was granted a marquis, Pengzu, you must have been granted a marquis." Emperor Jing would not have made him a marquis.

"That is the grace of the Queen Mother! Emperor, that is the grace of the Queen Mother!" Dou Pengzu seemed to have caught the straw and rushed to sacrificially raise the banner of Empress Dowager Dou.

"The grace of the Queen Mother?"

It was okay if Dou Pengzu didn't mention Empress Dowager Dou. When he mentioned it, Emperor Jing was even more angry and pointed at him and scolded: "You shameless thing, you dare to mention Empress Dowager! You are embarrassed by the empress dowager, do you know? You spoke to the empress dowager and kept talking to the empress dowager, but in the name of the empress dowager, bullying others and seizing land. Your son is rampant in Chang'an, do you think I don't know? Today, I have to cut off your shameless thing, so as not to embarrass the empress dowager!"

He scolded him and spoke righteously, which made Dou Pengzu have nothing to say.

Over the years, the Dou family has relied on the power of Empress Dowager Dou and did a lot of bad things. If it weren't for the fear of hurting Empress Dowager Dou's heart, Emperor Jing would have given them away long ago.

"You are a person who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquis who is a marquising person."

Emperor Jing's uncle Dou Changjun and younger uncle Dou Shaojun were very humble and gentlemanly, and were highly praised by the ministers in the court. Speaking of which, it was because of Zhou Bo, the old ministers. Since Dou Shaojun and Empress Dowager Dou recognized each other, the sisters and brothers were reunited. Zhou Bo and the others were afraid that the Dou clan and the Lu clan would act like harem power, so they invited some humble and gentlemanly scholars to teach the brothers to study.

The two brothers are very successful. They live a life of having no worries about food and clothing. They don’t care about any major events in the court, let alone mix them. They work hard to cultivate themselves and have the spirit of a gentleman.

Dou Pengzu and his father Dou Changjun have completely different personalities, so they like to play with power and jump up and down. The differences in personality between father and son are so big that it is really speechless.

As soon as Emperor Jing spoke, he refuted Dou Pengzu so much that he had nothing to say.

"Emperor, even if Li Qing and Dou Pengzu were guilty of this matter, they should be handed over to the court lieutenant to convict. They cannot be cut like this!" Zhou Yafu couldn't help it and gave a speech.

Zhou Yafu talked about the truth, and according to the law, it should be handled like this. But, does Emperor Jing have that time? One is Empress Li's brother and the other is Empress Dou's beloved nephew. If he did not cut down at this time, there would be no chance. Emperor Jing was not afraid of Empress Li, at most he would have to spend some effort.

However, when Empress Dowager Dou started to make trouble, Emperor Jing really had no choice. That was his mother, and the tiger poison did not eat her son, let alone being a son? As soon as Empress Dowager Dou came forward, Emperor Jing was reluctant and had to spare Dou Pengzu.

Therefore, to eliminate these disasters, we must quickly and make a reality before Queen Mother Dou intervenes.

"Zhou Yafu!" Emperor Jing's eyes widened and stared at Zhou Yafu. He could really do something bad. He wanted to kick him and shouted: "Zhou Yang, blast Zhou Yafu out!"

"ah!"

Today I was really open-minded. First, Emperor Jing did not follow the law and wanted to kill two ministers. Then he staged an interesting story about his son beating me. This kind of thing may not be encountered once in a thousand years. It is really open-minded!

"No!" Zhou Yang walked over without hesitation, walked over quickly, walked to Zhou Yafu and said, "Father, let's go!"

"Yang'er, you..." Zhou Yafu was really embarrassed now. He wanted to advise him, but he came to criticize him as Zhou Yang. If he didn't leave, he would be embarrassed by Zhou Yang. If he left, he would be unfaithful and did not finish his loyal words.

Zhou Yang stood beside Zhou Yafu, stepped on Zhou Yafu's instep, and his eyes flashed at him.

"Hmph!" Zhou Yafu hummed angrily, bowed to Emperor Jing, swayed his sleeves, and strode away.

As soon as he left Xuanshi Hall, Zhou Yafu stopped and said angrily to Zhou Yang: "Yang'er, you didn't even advise the emperor! Even if the minister is guilty, he should be handed over to the court magistrate to discuss the crime. If he should be imprisoned, he should be imprisoned. If he should be beheaded, he should be beheaded. If he should be killed, he should be killed. This is a bad law and there will be endless troubles!"

He was so angry that his face turned red, but Zhou Yang smiled: "Father, you understand for a lifetime and be confused for a while. Don't the emperor know about this? But the emperor has no time. If it's a little later, the empress dowager will come and he can't kill him even if he wants to."

"Ah!" Zhou Yafu understood that this was obvious, why didn't he expect it?

"Cococo... The emperor can't ask you to be a father? How can you beat me by a son? Isn't this embarrassing our father and son?" Zhou Yafu was still angry.

Shi Bujue wrote a book about the father and son being ministers in the same court. However, the history books have not recorded the story of his son beating me, so it is impossible to be angry if Zhou Yafu is not angry.

"Father, you don't understand yet." Zhou Yang was really angry and funny. Emperor Jing said to him with a angrily intention: "If I don't come, who can get you out? Once your stubborn temperament is offended, you won't even be able to pull back three cows. If he says again, the Empress Dowager will ruin the emperor's major affairs as soon as he arrives. At that time, the emperor will only vent your anger. Now that he leaves, he loses his face, but has his life!"

"Ah!" Zhou Yafu understood. It turned out that Emperor Jing was still kind and couldn't help but be stunned.
