?
Just as Ye Zhen and Ye Yaoyao finished talking, someone had already told Mo Rongzhan about their conversation in full detail.
My man?
Mo Rongzhan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this sentence. His chest was filled with excitement and tenderness, and the smile between his eyebrows was particularly clear and moving.
Eunuch Fu bowed his head at the side. As if feeling the emperor's surging mood at this time, his old face also bloomed into a smile.
"Where is the princess?" Mo Rongzhan coughed lightly, trying not to giggle like a fool. "Didn't I ask you to invite her over?"
If he hadn't asked Fu De to go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful and invite Ye Zhen to the Palace of Heavenly Purity as soon as she came out, he would not have heard these words that made his heart ripple.
Eunuch Fu patted his forehead, "This slave was so preoccupied with telling the emperor that I forgot such an important thing."
"Go and invite her over." Mo Rongzhan was in a good mood and didn't blame Eunuch Fu too much for his negligence.
"This slave will go and invite the princess over." Eunuch Fu immediately said with a smile. He didn't expect the princess to say such a thing. He thought the emperor would be unhappy to hear it, but he was happy instead.
It seemed that the princess's position in the emperor's mind was really extraordinary.
Just as Duke Fu was thinking about how to curry favor with the princess in the future, he had just walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity when he saw more than a dozen ministers walking towards the small square in front of him. His heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Little Six, come here." Eunuch Fu beckoned his little apprentice over and asked him to invite the princess while he went back to the imperial study to tell the emperor about the sudden appearance of the ministers.
Mo Rongzhan listened to Eunuch Fu's words and frowned. The soft and clear look in his eyes became cold.
When Eunuch Fu saw the emperor's cold expression, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.
After a while, a little eunuch reported that Lord Liu, Lord Xu, and other officials were outside asking for an audience.
"Let them go!" Mo Rongzhan ordered coldly. He knew what they wanted. During the morning assembly, Liu Zongyuan had already sent a petition to him, which was signed by hundreds of officials, begging him to take back the empress's decree. However, Mo Rongzhan had thrown it out. It seemed like they had not given up yet. They would only be satisfied after forcing him to compromise.
Eunuch Fu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this servant will go."
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly and said with a frown, "Didn't you go to invite the princess?"
"This servant … this servant will ask Little Six to invite him." Eunuch Fu hurriedly said. He was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he carefully glanced at him.
"Don't let Yaoyao see this. Go and stop her from coming over." Mo Rongzhan whispered. The ministers outside are too difficult to deal with. Even if he doesn't take them seriously, it's hard to guarantee that Ye Zhen won't be happy if she knows.
Eunuch Fu agreed, turned around, and hurriedly left.
Outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Liu Zongyuan and Prime Minister Xu took the lead and knelt in front. The Emperor refused to see them, so they had to kneel here. No matter what, they had to stop the Emperor from making Lu Yaoyao empress.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the will of the people and withdraw your decree to confer Lu Yaoyao the title of Empress."
"Your Majesty, this is for the good of Great Jin. This concerns our Great Jin …"
"This old subject requests Your Majesty to retract the decree!"
"Your Majesty, the descendant of the Ye family must not become the Empress …"
"Learn from the mistakes of the past …"
When Eunuch Fu heard their words, his face was already crooked with anger. Would the whole Great Jin be destroyed if the Emperor made Lu Yaoyao the Empress?
Ye Zhen stood not far away. She had already arrived near the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but when she saw so many ministers kneeling outside the door, she felt puzzled. Knowing that it was not appropriate to go to Mo Rongzhan at this time, she stood aside and watched. Unexpectedly … it was related to her.
Just as she was about to leave, Mo Rongzhan came out of the palace with a sullen face. He was still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his clear eyebrows and eyes were condensed with a layer of cold light. Just by standing there, he exuded a natural imperial majesty that made people dare not look directly at him.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw the decree of the Empress." As soon as Liu Zongyuan saw him, he immediately kowtowed so hard that his forehead bled.
Mo Rongzhan looked at them coldly. These ministers were all oppressed and framed by Ye Yisong in the past. It was only after he ascended the throne that he promoted them and put them in an important position. Now, he just wanted to keep his beloved woman by his side, but they actually began to use this kind of threat to stop him.
"If I do not withdraw the decree, are you planning to die here?" Mo Rongzhan's voice was cold, and even his eyes were calm enough to make people feel fear.
Ye Zhen, who was standing not far away, heard his cold voice, and her heart skipped a beat. She had never seen Mo Rongzhan like this. She didn't know … what he would do next.
Prime Minister Xu said, "Your Majesty, Lu Yaoyao is a descendant of the Ye family. The lesson of Ye Yisong is still vivid in our minds.
"Oh, it turns out that in your eyes, I am still the same as the former Emperor, a fatuous ruler who listens to slander and indulges in wine and women." Mo Rongzhan's thin lips curved slightly, and his voice became colder and colder.
"Your Majesty, we dare not think so. It's just that … the Ye family and your Majesty are enemies. If Lu Yaoyao has the intention to murder your Majesty, then … how can we guard against it?" Liu Zongyuan said loudly. They did not believe that Ye Yiqing and his daughter did not remember the hatred of the destruction of their family. Ye Yiqing becoming the prime minister of Dongqing was the best proof. If Lu Yaoyao really became the Empress, then the Ye family would be a relative of the emperor. Who knew how they would harm the people and frame loyal ministers in the future?
Mo Rongzhan chuckled, his voice calm and distant as if from purgatory. "Oh? I am so stupid and incompetent that I am afraid of even a weak woman. It turns out that in your eyes, I am such a person. "
Prime Minister Xu finally heard the strangeness in his words and said in horror, "Your Majesty, we did not mean that."
"Ye Yisong bewitched and controlled the former Emperor. What is the difference between you and him? If we did not do as you wished, we would kneel for a long time without getting up. In terms of abomination, you are more disgusting than Ye Yisong. " Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "You are the pillars of the country. Now, you are afraid of the destruction of the Ye family and a ghost that no longer exists. It seems that there is no need for Ye Yiqing to do anything. Ye Yisong's shadow is enough to make Dajin lose two prime ministers and dozens of ministers."
These words made the people below break out in a cold sweat. They could not find any words to refute.
They had used Ye Yisong as an example to force the Emperor. Now, from the Emperor's point of view, they were not even comparable to Ye Yisong.
"Our world was fought for by us. It is not the Ye family's past, nor can it be shaken by a woman. Our Empress is also not someone that can be changed by you threatening death. If you want to die or resign, we will not stop you. The world is so big. You are not the only ones who have the ability to be our left and right arms." Mo Rongzhan's voice carried an inherent confidence and certainty. His entire body emitted a terrifying tension that suppressed everyone's momentum.
