Chapter 304 Emperor Kun is Crazy
Yuan Chu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Only then did he remember why the Yan spy looked at him with a playful and meaningful look before leaving.
He wanted to see if he could survive this chaos.
If the true image were to enter the palace, the Yuan family would be doomed.
The emperor was bedridden and the empress was arrested, so he, the prime minister, was the only one left to manage and execute the affairs of the entire country.
In the past, the queen had to take the blame, but now the prime minister has to take it.
The Emperor's decree, do you listen to it? If you don't, you're disobeying orders. If you do, you'll offend everyone in Shengjing! Those people are enough to tear his entire Yuan family to pieces!
Yuan Chu suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Empress, I have always underestimated you. Were you really detained accidentally during your mission to the Yan army? You were detained on purpose, right? You saw this dead end long ago and found a way out for yourself, didn't you?"
The queen found a way to survive, and the road to death became his.
Yuan Chu can be loyal to his country, but he must first consider his own life and the Yuan family.
He has no soldiers and can't do anything. The only thing he can do now is to protect himself!
This is an unsolvable deadlock, and Shengjing is about to fall into chaos.
He can't take this job.
If you want money, I can give it to you.
The daughter is gone and come back.
But he couldn't do this. If he did, he would be a sinner for all eternity.
"Prime Minister, we're here."
Outside, the voice of the sedan chair bearers was heard.
Yuan Chu took out a pill from his arms and put it into his mouth.
As an old politician, these are all essential paraphernalia for acting.
He covered his chest and got out of the sedan tremblingly.
"What's wrong with you, Lord?"
The sedan bearer hurried over to support him.
"This old man...this old man's chest hurts..."
"Prime Minister, why don't you go back and see a doctor?"
"No problem, I want to see the emperor."
Yuan Chu was supported by someone and walked tremblingly towards the palace gate. When he passed by a guard, he suddenly fell down.
The guard was startled and quickly supported him and asked,
"Prime Minister, is the Prime Minister ill?"
Suddenly, blood spurted out of Yuan Chu's mouth, staining his clothes red.
The sedan bearer shouted,
"Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician! The prime minister is ill from overwork! Send him back home!"
So, several sedan chair bearers carried Yuan Chu and ran towards the prime minister's residence.
The guards also hurried to report to the emperor.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Residence, Yuan Chu immediately said,
"Quick, order all the Yuan family members to come back and hide the women in the underground secret room. They have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in there these days and are not allowed to come out.
Something’s going to happen, something’s going to happen…”
Then, Yuan Chu lay in bed pretending to be sick.
There was no way. He also wanted to be loyal to the country, but he really couldn't take such a big blame.
He could already imagine how crazy the bedridden emperor would be.
This time, either the emperor will be destroyed, or all the officials will be destroyed, or both the officials and the emperor will be destroyed together.
Or just hit them directly.
No matter what, such a situation is not something he, a prime minister, can control.
Fortunately, he met with the spies of Yan State in advance and anticipated the unrest that was about to happen.
He can respond one step ahead, as for others, let them worry about it.
……
In the imperial study, the chief censor and the general were having a headache.
They looked at the mess on the ground, at the old Fengchang kneeling and trembling on the ground, and at the furious Emperor Kun, and did not dare to say a word.
There were some other officials standing behind him, trembling with fear.
Emperor Kun, who was originally terminally ill, was so frightened after hearing the news that the queen had been arrested that he broke out in a cold sweat. He performed a medical miracle, climbed out of bed, and ran into the imperial study.
Old Fengchang had been beaten black and blue, looking like a monster.
A group of officials had heard what had happened from Lao Fengchang, and they dissuaded Emperor Kun from shouting madly to send troops.
Now, it's time to find a solution.
"My dear ministers, please speak."
Emperor Kun was sitting on the dragon throne, sweating profusely, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, and said with a gloomy look,
“The Yan thieves are insatiable and greedy. The queen has done her best to give them all the gold and silver. There is no gold or silver left in the palace now.
But they... actually detained the queen who was on a diplomatic mission and even cut off the envoy's ears. This is truly intolerable!
This is too much! This is too much! "
None of the ministers spoke, except for the senior official Zhang Qiong who stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, the Yan thieves are insatiable. No matter how much gold, silver, and jewelry we collect, it will never satisfy the Yan people's appetite.
The only solution now is to fight the enemy to the death, defend the city, rely on troops and food, wear down the Yan army and make them unable to hold on.
Only in this way can our Da Kun have a chance of survival.
Your Majesty, blindly giving in and seeking peace will only make the enemy oppress us even more. We must fight to the death!
Only if we scare and hurt the enemy will they sit down and talk with us. Now we have no right to negotiate at all!"
The Grand Commandant also knew that the Yan army was greedy, but no one dared to say that they would not save the queen.
Everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to fight if they can negotiate over water.
Everyone has a lucky mentality.
An official came forward and said,
"Your Majesty, I believe the Yan army is still willing to negotiate. If not, they can just attack us and kill us all. Our money is still theirs, so why bother talking to us every day?
I think we can still fight for it, for example, we can raise another batch of money and send it over, but the condition is that the Queen Mother is released first, otherwise we will not give you the money later.
To us, the Queen is a priceless treasure, but to the Yan army, the Queen is far less important than gold and silver."
Zhang Qiong immediately shouted angrily,
"You also know that the Queen is a priceless treasure to us. The Yan army knows that as long as they have the Queen, they can continue to demand money until they have emptied Shengjing of all its wealth.
The Yan army would never release the queen. They wanted to take her as a hostage and demand money!
We can’t fill the Yan army’s stomachs!”
The ministers had no choice but to look at Emperor Kun again.
Emperor Kun was still sweating profusely, his eyes were lifeless, and he was muttering to himself like a madman.
"How is the Queen now? Is she well fed and warmly clothed? Has she been bullied? The Queen is so beautiful, and the Yan army is full of wolves and tigers. Has she been bullied?"
The ministers were silent. Everyone knew the truth about this matter.
Let’s not talk about the Yan army for now. Just the two of them, Prince of the South Ma Ling and Prince of Lanling Shen Changgong, were hot-blooded men. Faced with such a beautiful queen of the enemy country, who came to them on her own, how could they not enjoy her?
It is estimated that by now the queen has been squeezed into various shapes, neatly packed with men.
Can a queen like this, who has lost her innocence, still be the mother of a country?
