The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 241 Forced

Xiao Mingzhang laughed angrily at Qi Meizhi's words, "Jun Wu is joking, does the Queen Mother know this? Besides, the emperor is not a child anymore. He should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, instead of making irresponsible remarks based on his temper..."

Qi Meizhi couldn't say anything to argue, so she had to squeeze out a few tears to express her sympathy for the difficulties faced by orphans and widowed mothers. This was the only remedy she could think of now.

"Your Majesty..."

But before she could finish her words, she was stopped again by her son who felt sorry for her being bullied.

I saw the little emperor jumping out from behind his mother again and looking directly at Xiao Mingzhang. The young man was always less rebellious and self-righteous, especially as he grew up like a star.

"Uncle Wang, if you want to find trouble, go to me, not to my mother and queen. I am the emperor, so what I say means what I say. This world belongs to me, not to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang has no right to comment. Uncle Wang should have some responsibility." Self-awareness.”

He looked at Xiao Mingzhang without giving in. He was already disgusted with this Uncle Wang who always loved to discipline him.

Xiao Mingzhang sneered, "This Jiangshan Sheji is a family property left by our ancestors, and it cannot be wasted by the emperor. If the emperor really insists on his own way, then I will really take care of it."

"Uncle Wang, are you planning to rebel?"

The young and idealistic courtiers immediately stood up and supported Master Zhou's proposal. Why should such an emperor stay if he is not worthy of his position?

The little emperor didn't expect that there were courtiers who really wanted to oust him. He was so angry that he yelled, "You, you are all ambitious, I, I will kill you all..."

Xiao Mingzhang looked at the mother and son coldly, with an inexplicable light in his eyes. Finally, he ordered a thorough investigation into the case of Qi's family collaborating with the enemy and treason, and Qi Jin was temporarily detained in a prison to await punishment.

Princess Yuanjia did not leave the palace, but had to deal with follow-up matters with her brother.

Qi Meizhi stepped forward and covered her son's mouth tightly, preventing him from saying anything that would offend the public. It was only today that she understood what it means that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

The great dynasty came to an end in this way, but since the courtiers headed by Mr. Zhou had already asked the young emperor to abdicate, they would not give up. This matter was bound to be carried out to the end.

The courtiers below were already shocked by the little emperor's words. Is this what an emperor should say?

Gu Deyin left the palace immediately. She knew that Xiao Mingzhang could not care about the relationship with her children now. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with, and she was also anxious to see her father and brother.

Master Zhou, as the head of the assistant ministers, now stood up and said.

"Your Majesty is wrong. Your Majesty is devoted to the country and the country and the country of the Shang Dynasty. If the emperor is determined to give up the country and the country to others, then please abdicate the throne and let the capable person take the place."

The little emperor ignored his fear at this time and confronted Xiao Mingzhang aggressively, holding his neck. He would never admit defeat.

These words were extremely treasonous. In the past, anyone who said them would have been labeled as a rebel. But today, the little emperor's words stung the hearts of the courtiers. Who would be willing to help such an emperor?

The envoy of the Jin Dynasty looked at the situation and wisely said nothing, but he remembered the stupid little emperor. It would be most beneficial to the country if he fully supported this person in this position.

"He is still a child and he said something wrong for a moment. I will teach the emperor his words and deeds..."

She hurried back to Gu's house and saw her father and brother sitting safely. Only then did she dare to release her true emotions and instantly slumped in the chair.

The old fox-like courtiers are in a wait-and-see attitude, but they are increasingly dissatisfied with the little emperor. How can they become a wise king with such unscrupulous words?
Xiao Mingzhang looked at the actions of the courtiers below, taking note of both the radicals and the wait-and-see faction. He said to the young emperor, "Your Majesty, do you see it? This is not a question of whether I will rebel or not, but your words and deeds." Caused outrage.”

But when his eyes turned to Xiao Mingzhang, he gave up the idea. This person would not allow a fool like the little emperor to remain on the throne. If he made too many small moves, it might be detrimental to the peace talks, so he temporarily stopped Provoking thoughts.

Gu Jianghuai rushed to his daughter eagerly, "What's wrong? What is this?"

Bo Qingya didn't care about the matters at hand and came over quickly, "Yinmei, what happened?"

"No, it's okay. I just felt relieved when I saw you all came back safely." Gu Deyin waved his hand and then slowly sat down.

Gu Jianghuai and Bo Qingya immediately couldn't laugh or cry. Although they were at the border, they were always in the rear. How could there be any danger? If there is any danger, Xiao Mingzhang is much more dangerous than them.

"But have you met the prince?"

Gu Jianghuai sat in the chair next to his daughter.

Gu Deyin nodded, and after taking a sip of the tea provided by Butler Gu, she spoke seriously.

"I just haven't bothered to say a few words of respect. Dad, things are going to change in the capital."

When this topic came up, Bo Qingya also sat in the chair on the other side of Gu Deyin, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"It's something that was expected. Not to mention that the mother and son have caused so many things. The current situation will not last for many years. One of their uncles and nephews will definitely be killed."

This was one of the reasons why he had been opposed to the love between Gu Deyin and Xiao Mingzhang before. He thought it would happen many years later, but unexpectedly it happened earlier.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Gu Jianghuai was more concerned about this. In fact, he was very conflicted in his heart. He hoped that the secret idea could be realized, but he was also afraid that this change would cast a shadow on his daughter's future.

After all, the Gu family was from a business background. He could not predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse if his daughter really took that position. It would be too difficult to rely solely on friendship to ensure a smooth life in the future.

"He's afraid he has to make up his mind."

Gu Deyin said softly, looking at the situation today, Xiao Mingzhang cannot tolerate such a little emperor. It is difficult for such a young man to correct his perception.

Coupled with Qi Meizhi's delay, the little emperor's abdication can be said to be a certainty.

In the Great Shang Dynasty, the calls for the little emperor to abdicate became louder and louder from the people to the official government. After all, the perverse policies introduced by the Queen Mother Qi when she came to the court would eventually have to be shouldered by the little emperor, and the consequences of the little emperor's actions in the dynasty Once the words spread, they instantly became a trigger.

The atmosphere in the palace was very tense, and the little emperor and Qi Meizhi were imprisoned separately.

Xiao Mingzhang did not talk to the little emperor immediately, but instead focused his scrutiny on his sister.

"Jiajia, how much of it was you behind the development of things like this?"

Princess Yuanjia straightened her back. She did not escape her brother's gaze, but faced him directly.

"Brother, that's a beast that can kill even my grandfather. Do you still want to continue to support him? If he can treat his grandfather like this, he can treat us like this. It doesn't matter if I die, but what about my sister-in-law? What will happen to your children in the future? Where is my nephew? If we don’t take action, our whole family will die in his hands sooner or later. There have been too many examples like this in the past.”

Xiao Mingzhang frowned and finally sighed, "Jiajia, you are too extreme..."

"No, brother, how many of the regents have good endings? Unless you can suppress him from being in power for the rest of his life."

Princess Yuanjia said excitedly.

"But even if you can really suppress him for the rest of your life, what about your future nephew? What will he do then? Brother, we have to make a decisive decision."

Xiao Mingzhang knew that he couldn't make sense with his sister, so he waved his hand to signal his sister to go out first.

Princess Yuanjia knew that her brother wanted to think about it again, so she stopped forcing him and turned around and walked out.
