I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 31 Forced to Compromise
Thinking that the harem would face another smog, Xin Zhao's heart felt a little tired.

Liu Muzhi said: "It's better to keep Cui Cen's people under our noses than to hide in the dark so that we can't guard against them."

This makes sense.

Even though Xin Zhao is very unwilling to be forced to choose a concubine, he still doesn't have enough power to make his own decisions.

The more he resists choosing a concubine, the more those people target the queen.

At that time, Su Qingyu will be dragged into trouble instead.

Xin Zhao took a deep breath, his eyes were gloomy, and a little unbearable will lead to chaos.

He has to endure now.

Liu Muzhi reported to him the arrangement of Yu Qian and Wang Xuance.

The process of reorganizing the Huben Camp and the Habayashi Army is also going smoothly.

When it comes to Yu Qian, the taciturn Liu Muzhi rarely added a few words.

As Xin Zhao guessed, he admired Yu Qian very much.

After Liu Muzhi reported the matter, he left.

There are not many memorials sent to Xin Zhao every day, and he reviews them very quickly.

At mealtime he went to the Queen's as usual.

"Your Majesty, what's bothering you? I see that you don't have any appetite today."

Su Qingyu cared deeply about her sweetheart.

Although Xin Zhao didn't show it clearly, she still felt that the emperor was in a bad mood today.

Xin Zhao was thinking about the draft.

Firstly, Cui Cen's aggressiveness disgusted him.

Secondly, he thought that if those beautiful girls were selected, there must be restlessness. He had to make arrangements in advance to prevent Su Qingyu from being harmed.

The few other concubines who stayed in the palace, because of the shock of the last dinner, are now very peaceful.

Since Su Qingyu asked, Xin Zhao didn't intend to hide the draft from her, so he told her.

Su Qingyu was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and raised her eyes to see the emperor's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, making no secret of her resistance to the draft.

She was in a complicated mood, both sweet and guilty.

"Your Majesty, the succession of imperial heirs is indeed a major event.

The concubine knows that His Majesty has a concubine in his heart, so he is satisfied.

Your Majesty is in trouble, but my concubine can't help you, but instead brings trouble to His Majesty...

Your Majesty does not need to take care of your concubines, no matter what your majesty does, your concubines will always trust your majesty. "

She doesn't know about those things in the court, and she can't help the emperor.

Besides, as the Son of Heaven, His Majesty is destined to not be the only one, as long as His Majesty has her in his heart.

Su Qingyu's virtuous and considerate moved Zhao Xin's heart, and made her determined not to let her suffer any harm.

He didn't say much anymore, he gently embraced the beautiful woman in his arms, and said everything with one kiss.

After spending a pleasant and comfortable night at the Queen's place, Xin Zhao was usually in a bad mood when he woke up the next day thinking about having to face those ministers again.

Today, all the ministers are still tirelessly asking him to choose a concubine.

Seeing that they began to accuse the Queen of being jealous and domineering again, Xin Zhao interrupted their advice impatiently.

"Whether I choose a concubine has nothing to do with the queen!
And now that the war outside has not stopped, it is not appropriate for me to wantonly choose concubines at this time.

After the rebellion is suppressed, the show girl will be selected. "

Cui Cen said: "Your Majesty, spreading branches and leaves for the royal family is the most important thing.

If the war has not stopped for three to five years, will His Majesty never choose a concubine? "

Xin Zhao resisted the urge to scold Cui Cen as an old man, but he couldn't hide the coldness on his face.

When he was annoyed, Xin Zhao couldn't help but reflect on the impulsiveness of his words just now.

As soon as he heard that they were targeting the queen, and their words gradually became sharper, he couldn't control his temper.

We can't do this again in the future, lest Cui Cen find out that he attaches too much importance to the queen, which is not good for him.

Xin Zhao eased his tone, and said in a low voice: "As the prime minister said, prepare for the draft."

Cui Cen returned to his original position, the emperor was young and impulsive after all, so he had to let himself decide.

……

Regarding the trivial matters of the draft, the ministers discussed for a long time.

After resigning from the imperial court angrily, Xin Zhao returned to the Hall of Qinzheng.

Before they could sit still, the spies from Xichang rushed to report that Liang Xiping and the others were going to be beheaded at noon today.

Xin Zhao was startled when he heard this, and said, "Take my token and rush to rescue them immediately!"

Both sides of the street leading to the Wumen vegetable market are surrounded by common people.

Seeing the two prisoners on the approaching prison van, the people became emotional.

"Those black hearts who are officials! The bullies who wronged the good people and did all kinds of evil are at large!"

The people began to discuss indignantly.

"That's right, in the case a few days ago, the murderer was obviously that bully of the Liu family! My cousin and his daughter were killed by that Liu Yishan, but now he has been released. Is this world really unreasonable? ?”

"Liu Yishan has an uncle who is a high-ranking official as his backer, who can cure him...

It's a pity that the two poor people who are about to be beheaded now, I heard that they also have official positions, but... alas! "

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, so what if they were angry?
"Husband!" A woman in sackcloth and filial piety rushed to the side of the prison car, crying sadly, "Husband!"

When Liang Xiping in the prison car saw that it was his wife, his originally indifferent face became excited.

His tone was worried and urgent: "Yu'er, why are you here?"

Zhou Yu cried: "Husband, Yu'er can't save you... I can only come to see you off, husband..."

His eyes were red, and hearing his wife's sad voice, he felt pain and resentment in his heart.

He choked up and said, "Yu'er, take good care of our children and live a good life."

Zhou Yu nodded again and again, tears streaming down his face.

She looked at the horse beside you, and said guiltily, "Master Ma, we are the ones who have caused you..."

Ma Youxuan said: "Brother Liang is also a victim, how can you say that you are involved? They have long wanted to eradicate me, even if there is no such thing, there will be other excuses..."

Before they finished speaking, the official came over and rudely pulled Zhou Yu away, and shouted:
"What are you doing here?! Get out of the way!"

Zhou Yu held on tightly to the prison cart, refusing to leave.

The official servant couldn't pull her away, and even more annoyed, he raised his sword and threw it at her.

Zhou Yu's pretty face turned pale from the pain, but she still refused to let go.

"Stop!" Liang Xiping yelled angrily when he saw this, tears filled his red eyes, "She is my wife, she just came to see me off, don't make things difficult for her..."

Seeing this, the people on both sides of the street became more indignant and began to commotion.

The officials ignored him, and roughly dragged Zhou Yu away and threw him aside.

At this moment, dozens of people in sackcloth and filial piety rushed into the prison car, crying to Liang Xiping.

"Master Liang, you have been wronged! You saved us, we can't repay you for this kindness..."

"The two adults are clean and honest officials, but now they will suffer great injustice!! The world is unfair!"

Those who cried out in grief and indignation were the family members of the women who were forcibly captured and imprisoned by Liu Yishan.

After the house was raided, the girl who was locked inside was rescued.

Therefore, these people are extremely grateful to Liang Xiping.

The officials who escorted them hurriedly pulled those people away.

The people were infected by the emotions of those people, and they all pushed the officials who maintained order.

The scene became chaotic.

The leader in charge of escorting the prisoners shouted angrily with a gloomy face: "Anyone who dares to block the way will be killed without pardon!"

All the officials drew out their weapons one after another, and under the shining swords, all the people suddenly became calmer.
