Mo Rongzhan ordered his men to bring Mingxi away. With his hands behind his back, he looked ahead coldly. Judging from the situation today, these aristocratic families would not be resolved in a day or two. In this way, Ye Zhen would be delayed for a few more days and would not be able to return to the Jin Kingdom with him.
Thinking of this, Mo Rongzhan's heart surged with anger. He looked at the aristocratic families in the crowd with even more anger.
"Mingxi is only three years old. You can count on him to protect the Heavenly Consort and the Princess. You can rest assured that with us in the Yuan Kingdom, we will definitely protect their orphans and widows." Shui Yichen stood behind Mo Rongzhan. He did not look at him, but his words pierced Mo Rongzhan's ears.
Orphans and widows? Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly. Did he think he was dead?
"My Empress and children will naturally have me." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. "General Shui … it's more practical for you to train harder."
Shui Yichen's face darkened. The scene of him being crushed by Mo Rongzhan that day was still vivid in his mind. His face darkened instantly.
"Summon the Heavenly Consort!"
"We want to see the Heavenly Consort …"
The voices of the crowd grew louder and louder. It seemed like they were about to barge in.
Mo Rongzhan looked at them indifferently. He knew very well that these people would not be able to barge in. If they really dared to come in, it would be even better.
"Pass down my order. If they dare to take a step past the Meridian Gate, they will be punished with the crime of forcing the abdication." Mo Rongzhan ordered coldly.
Shui Yichen looked at him sharply. "Forcing the abdication?"
That means killing without mercy?
Mo Rongzhan's gaze was cold. "It has not even been a month since the founding ceremony. If the capital falls into chaos because of today's incident, it will be a joke to the world. The aristocratic families are indeed deeply rooted, but they are not the foundation of the Yuan Kingdom. If this chaos cannot be quelled within three days, it seems that the abilities of those who follow her are limited."
Shui Yichen's face turned ugly at Mo Rongzhan's words, but he had to admit that what Mo Rongzhan said made sense.
Mo Rongzhan did not continue watching and turned to leave.
He went to the harem to find Ye Zhen, who was accompanying Ming Yu in painting. She seemed to be in a good mood and was not affected at all.
"Where have you been?" Ye Zhen saw him coming back with a faint smile on her face.
"Where is Ming Xi?" Mo Rongzhan sat down beside Ye Zhen, not seeing Ming Xi here.
"He was here just now. He heard that Yan Xiaoliu had woken up, so he went over." Ye Rou hooked his arm. "You went to the Meridian Gate? Why did you bring Mingxi along? He's still so young. "
Mo Rongzhan smiled and said, "I didn't ask him to do anything. I just wanted him to know what kind of responsibility he has to shoulder."
Ye Zhen knew that he had great expectations for Ming Xi, but wasn't it too early?
"Don't underestimate Mingxi. He's smarter than you think." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. He picked up a few of Ming Yu's drawings, but he couldn't tell what they were. He laughed and shook his head. "Ming Yu, what is this?"
"This is Imperial Father, this is Mother, and this is Big Brother!" Ming Yu said earnestly. She pointed at the ink black paper and said in a childish voice with a proud expression.
"…" Mo Rongzhan couldn't help but laugh. "So that's how Imperial Father looks in Mingyu's heart."
Ye Rou smiled. "It's already very good that Ming Yu can draw like this."
Ming Yu took a painting and said, "I'm going to find Big Brother."
"Don't run so fast." Ye Zhen urged Hong Ying to follow.
Only Ye Zhen and Mo Rongzhan were left in the bedroom. Ye Zhen glanced at him. "Is it very noisy outside?"
"No matter how noisy it is, it's still the same. They just want you to compromise. Once you give in, they will take a mile." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "Instead of dawdling with them, it's better to suppress them from the beginning."
Ye Zhen nodded. She thought so too. "I don't intend to compromise with them, but it's not easy to deal with the unity of the aristocratic families."
"If they are united, don't let them unite." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
"Huh?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him with a smile. "It seems that what did you ask Shen Yi to do?"
Mo Rongzhan smiled but said nothing. These people prevented them from returning to the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible. How could he let them go?
"Don't think so much. Go and see Ming Xi and Ming Yu." Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Ye Zhen looked at his figure and really wondered what he had done behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he be so relaxed?
At night, the people outside the Meridian Gate had not retreated. Shui Yichen ordered that as long as they crossed the Meridian Gate, they would be punished for the crime of forcing an abdication. No matter how united the aristocratic families were, no one was willing to take a step forward.
In particular, Shui Yichen stood there. Everyone knew that he was the great general who killed without blinking an eye. If it weren't for him, the Heavenly Concubine would not have been able to obtain Yuan Kingdom so easily.
The night in the capital was destined to not be peaceful. In addition to the people in front of the Meridian Gate, Shen Yi and Tang Zhen also walked around the city. Before dawn, new rumors had spread everywhere.
By the next day, the situation was completely different.
"General Shui, we just want to see the Heavenly Concubine. When will she see us?" The middle-aged man standing in the front was called Liao Shouzhi, the head of the Liao family. He had been waiting here for a day and a night, but had not seen the Heavenly Concubine's figure. He was a little anxious.
Shui Yichen glanced at him faintly. "The Heavenly Concubine only sees those who should be seen."
Liao Shouzhi's heart skipped a beat. He did not understand what Shui Yichen meant.
Another day passed, and the people around the Meridian Gate were reduced by more than half. Only the heads of the aristocratic families standing in the front did not leave. They looked at the guards in front of them. Did they underestimate the Heavenly Concubine? Is she not afraid of going against the aristocratic families?
At this time, Ye Zhen was not in the palace. She had gone to see Ye Yiqing's former disciples in Yuan Kingdom.
The Liao family was a big aristocratic family, and many of its children were officials in the court. When Liao Shouzhi united with other aristocratic families to enter the palace to see Ye Zhen, many people in the Liao family put down their official duties, thinking that this could paralyze the court and force the Heavenly Concubine to give in and agree to their demands.
Ye Zhen originally wanted to promote Ye Yiqing's former disciples again. Because when Ye Yiqing resigned and left, Li Hang assigned all his disciples to other places and did not put them in important positions at all. Since the children of the aristocratic families thought that the court could not function without them, then she would give it a try.
In addition to seeing these disciples, Ye Zhen also met another person in the Liao family, Liao Shouzhi's younger brother, who had never gotten along with Liao Shouzhi.
Liao Shouzhi wanted to use the whole Liao family to the point of joining forces with other aristocratic families to threaten her. She might as well let someone else be the head of the Liao family.
