"To depose the Empress?" before Yun Shang could say something, Qian Zhuo couldn't help jumping out and exclaimed, "Who is so reckless?"
Pei Lan was taken aback by Qian Zhuo. She answered in a hurry, "The eunuch said that it was Lady Wang who asked him to send the message, but he knew nothing specific."
Qian Zhuo asked with a frown, "Then how did his majesty respond?"
"The eunuch said that his majesty laughed when he heard it. Then he ignored those people and directly ordered Lady Wang to issue an imperial edict that all the officials who had such a suggestion should divorce their wives," Pei Lan said with a smile.
Qian Zhuo paused for a while, and then burst into laughter, "His Majesty! What a smart move!"
Yun Shang remained calm there. She let Qian Zhuo be. Then she looked up at Pei Lan and said, "I see. Go and tell the eunuch to return a message to Lady Wang. Ask her to come to the Weiyang Palace after the court."
Pei Lan replied and left.
Qian Zhuo stopped smiling and turned to Yun Shang. She bit her lips and said gently, "Your Majesty, why do many people in the imperial household aim at our Weiyang Palace like this? We can't let them continue to be so arrogant, or they will think that we are easy to be bullied."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded, "No, we can't let them be arrogant anymore."
Soon afterwards, Wang Wanzhi came to the Weiyang Palace. Pei Lan led him into the inner hall. Seeing that she hadn't changed her female official clothes, Yun Shang smiled and asked, "Have you just come from the court?"
Wang Wanzhi bowed to Yun Shang and replied with a smile, Yes."
Yun Shang asked Pei Lan to bring a chair for Wang Wanzhi to sit down. She gently smoothed her sleeves and asked, "Who are the people giving that suggestion today?"
Wang Wanzhi hurriedly replied, "They are Tian Qiu from the Ministry of works, Liu Huayan from the court of rites, and Xue Qian from the astronomical bureau."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, took up a brocade handkerchief and wiped her hands gently while saying, "Have these masters left the palace?"
"No. His majesty has ordered them to divorce their wives, but none of them is willing to do so. Now they are kneeling in the Taiji Palace and asking His Majesty to take back his order," Wang Wanzhi replied in a low voice.
"Oh?" Yun Shang smiled and looked up at Wang Wanzhi again, "Then how about hour Majesty? Where is he now?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Wang Wanzhi's eyes, but she quickly replied, "His majesty is discussing business with Prince Xian and several other lords in the Meeting Hall."
Yun Shang nodded and stood up, "Now it's a good chance. Let's go to the Taiji Palace."
"Your Majesty, his majesty is in the Meeting Hall, not the Taiji Palace," Qian Zhuo supposed Yun Shang was going to find Luo Qingyan, so she reminded her in a low voice.
Yun Shang smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I know his majesty is not in the Taiji Palace. I'm going to have a meeting with those few officials who have made a lot of disparaging requests in the court this ... morning. "
Qian Zhuo's eyes lit up at Yun
urned around and looked at Qian Zhuo. Her aggressiveness in the Taiji Palace had long gone. She smiled gently and said, "Qian Zhuo, you've thought too simply. Not everything in the world can be solved by force. I can beat them up or even kill them. so what? Then all the officials would be furious, and then all of them would go to his majesty and beg for his Majesty's mercy on the excuse of the Empress's tyranny to depose her. In this case, will his majesty depose me or not? "
Qian Zhuo opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, but finally did not say anything
Yun Shang was also lost in thought, 'Not to depose? But I'm so cruel that I have killed ministers at will. If I'm not deposed, his majesty will lose the support of the people. His majesty has just ascended the throne. Even if he wants to abdicate, I can't let him have such a reputation! '
Yun Shang turned to Qian Zhuo and said, "I just said those words to intimidate them. Let them know that I'm not someone to be trifled with. The most important thing is to tell them that the reason why the State of Ning has sent troops to help us is because of me. As for the rumors outside, it is just because the State of Yelang doesn't want the State of Ning to help the State of Xia, which will put the State of Yelang in an embarrassing position. If they continue to persuade his majesty, they will be labelled as traitors of our country. In this way, they dare not act rashly again. Even if he is a member of Xia Houjing, he can't bear the crime. "
And those officials in the court all have channels to inquire about information in the palace. It won't be long before they hear what I said in the Taiji Palace. In this way, if they want to covet me again, they have to think it over," Yun Shang whispered.
Then she turned to Qian Zhuo and said, "Fighting is the lowest level of action in such a place full of conspiracies and schemes. There are a lot of things you need to learn and pay attention to, Qian Zhuo. Don't be provoked so easily. You don't know that you are being used as a target in that case."
