Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C938 938Selected Person

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shuo’s gaze landed on the court officials. His black eyes were filled with anger, as if he was holding back.

The officials naturally noticed the anger on Yan Shuo’s body and immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness, but no one could think of a way.

Just at this time, Prime Minister Wang Shi, who had not participated in the debate and was still resting with his eyes closed, slowly walked out from the group of officials, “Your majesty, this subject has a suitable candidate, it’s just that his identity is special and it will be up to your majesty to decide.”

“Prime Minister, please speak.”

Prime Minister Wang pondered for a moment, then slowly spat out a person’s name, “Mo Rong Tian.”

When these words were spoken, it immediately attracted the attention of the officials.

Immediately, some people from Grand Preceptor Pang stood up to oppose, “Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot have this person. Mo Rong Tian was the previous crown prince of the previous dynasty, but now he has been sentenced to death and is waiting for the fall to come, so how can we let him lead troops to clean up the traitors?”

This person took the lead in opposing the decision. Naturally, some of the ministers who were with him also began to chime in.

“That’s right, Your Majesty. Letting Mo Rong Tian lead troops to hand over the thief is the same as handing over the rebellious blade blade blade to him. This person absolutely cannot, Your Majesty …”

“That’s right. Your majesty, you absolutely can’t …”

With someone taking the lead, there was naturally someone who followed along. For a time, the entire imperial court was in an uproar.

Only Yan Xiao, Yan Jue, and the Prime Minister Wang remained silent, waiting for Yan Shuo to speak.

“The Prime Minister continues.”

Yan Shuo spoke with a solemn voice, causing the chefs of officials to quiet down once again, they did not dare look at Yan Shuo.

“Yes.”

The Prime Minister Wang cupped his hands towards Yan Shuo, and said: “Your Majesty, Mo Rong Tian himself has led a group of soldiers, and is more familiar with Nan Jing than any of the other generals. With him leading a group of soldiers, I think it is very suitable, and furthermore, he had voluntarily surrendered that day, so there will be no second thoughts now.

As soon as Prime Minister Wang finished speaking, another voice objected. “Your majesty, how can we trust him so easily, handing over the weapon token is equivalent to taking a risk. Now that Easternum is facing internal and external troubles, we must not take such risks.”

“That’s right. Your majesty, you absolutely can’t take the risk …”

“…”

After another round of argument, Yan Shuo said: “Since that’s the case, then how about we have the various lieutenants at the scene let you all lead the troops?”

When Yan Shuo asked this question, the ministers did not dare to make a sound.

Most of the people present were civil servants. Other than using their mouths to speak, how could they have led their troops to war? The reason Kaiser asked this was naturally because he was angry.

Then, some people realized that the rebel they were calling out was actually the Emperor’s brother-in-law, the First Prince’s blood uncle. The Emperor wanted him to lead the army, so naturally, there was an opportunity for him to make amends.

People like them who opened their mouths to reject, were once members of the Grand Preceptor Pang. As long as the Prime Minister Wang made a suggestion, they would habitually oppose it.

Thinking about it now, other than Mo Rong Tian being the right candidate, the most important thing was the Emperor’s thoughts.

The emperor set the time for Mo Rong Tian’s decapitation to be after this autumn. It was clear that he did not want Mo Rong Tian to die, but rather, was stalling for time.

If it was before, when the Grand Preceptor Pang was here, they would still be able to fight against him. But now, the Grand Preceptor Pang was carrying the crime of selling their country, and all of them, who were connected to the Grand Preceptor Pang, were trying to sell their country.

They didn’t have enough evidence that the emperor didn’t do it, but it didn’t mean that the emperor would give them any trouble.

How could they add insult to injury to injury at this time?

Especially since even the two Dukes didn’t oppose the Prime Minister Wang’s proposal, it was obvious that they had tacitly accepted it.

Thinking this way, many ministers understood and did not dare to make any more noise.

In the imperial court, there was complete silence. No one spoke, waiting for Yan Shuo to speak.

Seeing that the court officials did not say anything, Yan Shuo’s complexion became slightly better, and then turned to look at Yan Xiao and Su Yun.

“What do you think, royal uncles?”

He could ignore the opinions of his courtiers, but he could not ignore his uncle.

Even though Yan Shuo was a Kaiser, he was a very loving person deep within his heart. If he wasn’t forced to do so, if the evidence on the surface wasn’t too disadvantageous to Liu Ruo Qing, if that matter didn’t cause such a ruckus among the scholars, if it wasn’t …

Even if there was even a tiniest bit of leeway, he wouldn’t have ordered his men to kill the Ninth Aunt back then. Then there wouldn’t have been so many things that happened afterwards.

When Yan Shuo thought back to it now, he still felt a lot of regret. However, some tragedy had already been caused, there was no use in regretting it now.

As a result, in terms of taking care of his uncles, Yan Shuo seemed to be more cautious and respectful than before.

He didn’t want to disappoint his uncles just because of this rule.

Although Yan Shuo really wanted to give Mo Rong Tian a chance because of him, if Yan Xiao and did not agree, although he was regretful in his heart, he would not force himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up the idea of sparing Mo Rong Tian’s life just because of the two imperial uncles’ words.

He had accepted the heavy burden of being under the Yan Clan’s rule even before the age of study had passed. He had tasted the feeling of a ruler descending upon the world with power that overflowed into the heavens, but he could not feel the freedom to do as he pleased.

And if he were to sit on this seat for the rest of his life, he would probably never be able to get this kind of freedom again.

Hearing Yan Shuo’s question, Yan Xiao and Su Yun looked at him.

In the hall, there were many people waiting for their replies. They also knew that because of the matter of the King Jing, the Kaiser would definitely not be too hard on his uncles.

As long as the two princes disagreed, the Emperor might consider it.

After a moment, he heard Yan Xiao say, “I will listen to Your Majesty.”

Yan Jue followed after Yan Xiao and spoke, “This subject has no objections.”

Although Mo Rong Tian had just been escorted into the capital, when Yan Shuo asked him to spare his life, thinking of how Ruo Qing had tragically died, Yan Jue was filled with anger towards Yan Shuo.

They felt that he was willing to stand on Yun Jiao Rong’s side to consider, but they didn’t stand on Ol ‘Nine’s side to think for Ruo Qing. For a long time, he was still angry at Kaiser.

After that, Yan Shuo still had to give the order for Mo Rong Tian to be beheaded. Only then did Yan Jue’s anger dissipate a little.

Later on, when he found out that Ruo Qing was still alive, in addition to the fact that he had privately probed Ol ‘Nine’s attitude towards Mo Rong Tian, although Ol’ Nine did not say anything, he had mentioned that Mo Rong Tian had risked his life to save Ruo Qing’s life at the hands of the Yi He School when he was still in Chengyang County, and he had almost died because of that incident.
