Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 639
"Yes... it is that Jingzhao Mansion's action this time is a bit too much. As far as I know, until now, Jingzhao Mansion has arrested more than 500 people, and most of them are family members of courtiers. Many courtiers have no official positions. Not under Jing Zhaoyi..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yuankai suddenly stood up and asked a question:
"Not under Jing Zhaoyi? What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty, old minister..." Li Hetu was immediately taken aback.

"Old Guozhu, just tell me, is there anything wrong with the Jingzhao Mansion? If there is a mistake, it can be corrected. That's right, what do you want me to say?"

"The law code of the country is just and majestic. Its value is measured by four words, right and wrong! To simplify it, it is guilty and innocent!"

"I know what you want to say, don't you just want me to curb the momentum of Jingzhao Mansion? Well, can you give me a reason? You can't let me go over and tell Xu Wenlin that it's not good for you to do this, no Appropriate, inappropriate, right?"

"Then if Xu Wenlin retaliates, he just acts according to the law, takes Jing Zhaoyi's responsibility, and pleads for Chang'an's clarity and justice, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Yuankai asked several questions in succession, and directly covered Li Hetu's question!

However, he still didn't seem to react, he hesitated and said:
"But... But Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyi is only a first-rank official in the state government. If there is no order from His Majesty, it would be inappropriate to blatantly use a knife against a court official of the same level, right?"

Having said that, Zhao Yuankai's face suddenly turned black!

Just now, he was only persuasive, but now, his tone suddenly became cold.

Flicking his sleeves, turning his back, he snorted coldly:
"Li Hetu, you have let me down!"

"Your Majesty calm down, old minister... I don't know..."

"Enough! After talking about it, don't you just want to ask me about my attitude? I want to ask if it's Xu Wenlin who I instructed?"

"Your Majesty, this old minister didn't mean that." Li Hetu said repeatedly.

"Heh... Don't you think it over carefully when you go back! Also, think about it again, if it is really my instruction, all this will become appropriate?"

"Also, Xu Wenlin is Jing Zhaoyi, and he governs Chang'an City. Those courtiers are not the citizens of Chang'an? Are they equal to Jing Zhaoyi? No one cares anymore?"

"Old Guozhu, old Guozhu, I didn't expect you to have such a foolish day. Forget it, you go back and think about it. When will you figure it out? When will you come see me again!"

Zhao Yuan flicked his sleeves and asked Li Hetu to step back.

If it wasn't Li Hetu, the old pillar of the country, or the relatives of the royal family who were standing in Xuanshi Hall at this time, Zhao Yuankai wouldn't talk so much nonsense.

However, even after talking so much, Li Hetu still didn't seem to understand the emperor's intentions.

"Your Majesty, appease your anger. The old minister will step down now. After the old minister returns, he will definitely understand what His Majesty said. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Li Hetu didn't dare to stay longer, bowed and retreated after bowing to the ground.

When the Xuanshi Hall was empty, Zhao Yuankai let out a long sigh.

In fact, Li Hetu is not to blame, even Zhang Juzheng, it seems that he has not figured out what Zhao Yuankai's real intention is now?
Because they are all people limited by the times.

Whether it's Li Hetu or Zhang Juzheng, they still don't understand what the majesty of the legal system is!

……

……

After Li Hetu left Xuanshi Hall, he followed Chaotian Road and walked around to the front of Taiji Hall.

He kept frowning tightly, his old face was a little pale, and he was terrified in his heart.

The scene just now was really abnormal. It was the first time in history that His Majesty got angry with him, and there was even a hint of disappointment in it!

This is unprecedented!
Li Hetu was very frustrated and uneasy, but he just didn't understand where his fault was!
Jing Zhaoyi Xu Wenlin was indeed right, and he was indeed within his duty and acted in accordance with the law.

But even if this is the case, you can't act like this without fear, do whatever you see, and investigate when there is a case. No matter who is involved, you don't care about the safety of the court and the loyalty of the courtiers!
This is too much.

If it is not done well, it will shake the court!

In fact, Li Hetu didn't ask His Majesty to protect anyone, he just hoped that His Majesty could stand up at this time, make a statement, and beat Jing Zhaoyi!

Otherwise, if Jing Zhaoyi continues to make trouble like this, the government and the public will be panicked without end, how many courtiers' hearts will be chilled!

"Your Majesty is very angry, it seems... the old minister is at fault."

"But where did the old minister go wrong?"

The grey-haired old Guozhu staggered, with his head down all the way, muttering, perplexed, and puzzled.

However, when Li Hetu turned the corner, a voice stopped him:
"My lord stay!"

Li Hetu trembled immediately, then hurriedly bowed, turned around slowly, bowed respectfully in the direction of the voice, and saluted:
"The old minister pays homage to the empress!"

That's right, it was none other than Mengye Qingyou, who had just ascended the empress throne, who called to stop Li Hetu.

At this time, Mengye Qingyou was wearing a red gold phoenix robe, magnificent, graceful and noble, with the majesty of an empress, Li Hetu couldn't help trembling when he saw it.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite."

Meng Ye Qingyou came slowly, followed by a group of maids, although their faces were soft and smiling, but that invisible aura was too oppressive.

A descendant chosen by heaven, as wise as a demon, as beautiful as a banished immortal.

This Empress of the Great Han Emperor deserves it all!
"I don't know why the empress called to stop the old minister?" Li Hetu got up and asked respectfully.

"If my guess is correct, the old prince just asked to see His Majesty, right?"

"Reporting to your mother, it is true."

"If there is no accident, it should be because of the recent disturbance in Chang'an that has arisen in the Jingzhao Mansion, right?"

"Empress Shengming."

"The old prince wants to say something for the courtiers in Chang'an, right? But looking at the prince, it seems that His Majesty has not listened to the prince's advice, right?"

Mengye Qingyou's tone was always calm, but Li Hetu was really surprised by her invisible self-confidence and keen insight into everything.

He bowed again and said:

"Your Majesty is right!"

When he said this, Li Hetu suddenly had a thought.

He can't persuade His Majesty, but the empress is different. Even, if there is one person in this world who can shake the current emperor, it can only be the empress in front of him!
Li Hetu was about to organize a language request, but unexpectedly, Mengye Qingyou spoke first.

"Old prince, can you tell me how your majesty responded to him? Perhaps, this palace can reconcile it, can't you?"

Although she is an empress, she still has a high respect for Li Hetu.

Li Hetu was flattered and overjoyed, and hurriedly said:
"Since the empress said so, then the old minister expressed all the confusion in his heart..."
