Chapter 669
The Emperor told them to go and pull the plow, isn't that the same as using them as cattle? The officials were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and lowered their heads, not daring to retort.
Mu Yunyao and Min Fanghua stood a little further away, watching the changing faces of the officials. They couldn't help but secretly smile. The Emperor's' dream 'was very good. Since he had the immortal's guidance, then the sudden death of the oxen wasn't considered bad luck. Rather, it was the immortal's specific instruction.
The officials could not find any reason to retort. After all, even if they guessed that the Emperor was spouting nonsense, no one would dare go and expose it at this time.
A tall incense burner was placed in an open area close to the field. The Spring Growing Ceremony had begun and the emperor was the first to lead the civil and military officials in praying to the heavens. After the ceremony was over, the emperor stood up. Yu stepped forward to receive the incense in his hand and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction. He turned his head to look at the officials and said,
"Alright, my dear officials, you may go with me.
"
In order to participate in today's Spring Growing Ceremony, the officials were extremely well-dressed. Now, however, they had no choice but to pull up their pants, sleeves, and even pull up their ropes to lead the plow through the fields. In order to allow the Spring Growing Ceremony to proceed smoothly, this field had been specially meticulously decorated. The soil in the field had been carefully inspected by someone, and one could not even see the small stones. In order to make the emperor more effortless, two hours before the main hall, there had already been someone meticulously tidying it in advance.
Although the group was in a slightly sorry state, it went quite smoothly.
The Spring Growing Ceremony was only for the sake of blessing. Just as they were about to finish, the officials let out sighs of relief. At that moment, they suddenly felt the rope in their hands loosen. It seemed as if something broke, and they staggered two steps forward.
"Your majesty!
" Someone exclaimed.
King Yu and King Yue immediately went forward to support the unsightly face of the Emperor. Qu Li had already broken down from the middle, and if they hadn't stepped forward in time, the Emperor would have been brought down to the ground.
The officials panicked and kneeled on the floor, begging for forgiveness.
"This subject deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
"
Li Qingzhou suddenly stepped forward.
"Your majesty, first the cattle died suddenly, then the plow was broken from the middle. This is truly a bad omen.
" King Yu looked at him coldly.
"Prime Minister Li, Imperial Father said earlier that the oxen were taken away by the immortals to experience the hardships of farming. From today onwards, you will be more loyal to the monarch and work even harder for the common people.
to question my royal father?
"
"This humble subject absolutely dares not, it's just that all the great farming ceremonies have been especially smooth. Only this time, there must be something amiss, which must be why it angered the heavens and used it to warn the emperor. I ask that you pay more attention to this, and that next year's assembly will be smooth sailing.
"
The emperor's expression was calm as his gaze lightly descended upon Li Qingzhou.
"Then according to what Lee Chang Zai said, the heavens want to warn me of something?
"
"Your majesty, this humble subject believes that …
" Just as Li Qingzhou opened his mouth to speak, he saw the censer that was used to honor the heavens and earth suddenly fall down, facing Mu Yunyao's direction.
Fortunately, Si Qin and Si Que had always been by Mu Yunyao's side. Seeing that the situation wasn't going well, they hurriedly pulled her away to avoid this calamity.
Li Qingzhou suddenly raised his hand and pointed towards Mu Yunyao's direction.
"Your majesty, this subject believes that all the bad omens are caused by Yuwai Wangfei!
"
His voice was clear and cold as he said,
"Prime Minister Li, you better make it clear that the wangfei who framed this duke is a heinous crime. If you don't have the slightest bit of evidence to arbitrarily accuse me, this duke will definitely seek justice from you and the Li family!
"
Before Li Qingzhou could say anything, the people of the Venerate Heavens Sect quickly stepped forward and picked up the incense from the censer. They hurriedly kneeled on the ground and reported to the emperor,
"Your majesty, the incense you used to revel in the heavens has been completely extinguished. The heavens have not enjoyed it all. This is something the heavens are dissatisfied with!
"
The officials looked at Mu Yunyao, their eyes filled with bewilderment and bewilderment. Li Qingzhou took a step forward,
"Your majesty, the censer has fallen and is facing towards the direction of Princess Titan. Isn't that a warning from the heavens? Please consider carefully, your majesty. According to my investigation, she was born in the countryside and had not received much instruction, but she was proficient in poetry, literature, and ceremonial music. She was proficient in embroidery and tea, and in such a short period of time, she had opened a large number of shops and restaurants.
"Look high.
" Many people frowned upon hearing his words. Such an action was indeed very unusual for a woman. A few days ago, when she was getting married, there were still several boats full of gifts sent by the people of Ziling City. Such a reputation and fame might not necessarily fall onto a woman.
What was this good thing? Li Qingzhou continued,
"If it's just bribing people, then that's fine too. The Emperor is wise and mighty, with prestige that no one can match. In front of your power, the methods of the Princess of Yue are just like fireflies, unable to compete with the bright moon. But her greatest crime was to stir up trouble. Your Majesty, Palace of the King of Yue
Your son, Princess Yue Yu is the granddaughter of Grand Princess Yi De. Not only are the two of them related by blood, they are also lacking in seniority. Such an action is already messing up everyone, how can the heavens not be angry when meeting such a person?
" Mu Yunyao looked coldly at Li Qingzhou, the light in her eyes like ice and snow. After the incident at the Autumn Hunt Palace, this person knew that the Emperor had insisted that the Titan was his son and was certain that he wasn't willing to ruin Empress Wei's reputation.
He was going to put up a crime that even if it meant disregarding everyone else, he would still be found guilty of it! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
The Emperor's face went black, and the rise and fall of his chest grew slightly larger. His lips carried an azure and violet hue.
"Prime Minister Li, the marriage between the two of them was bestowed by my decree ….
"
"Your Majesty, you have always placed the greatest importance on etiquette after assuming the throne for so many years. Many court officials were puzzled by the sudden bestowing of marriage to King Yue and Princess Fei, as this does not seem to be your usual style. Please think carefully, your majesty. Ever since Mu Yunyao had returned to the capital and been acknowledged by Grand Princess Yi, many things had happened in the imperial court. Rivers broke, the people of Riverside City, Huai'an City, and Yi River City had all been flooded. Your majesty, your body is also getting worse and worse.
"Please give the order to execute her!
" When these words were spoken, all the officials present were silenced. Prime Minister Li had always been tactful, his words were watertight, causing one to be unable to determine his wrongdoings, but now, it seemed as if he was deliberately blaming the blame for it on Princess Fei Yue. Why was this so …
