Chapter 148 Being Slapped
After half a month, Shen Yanfeng finally escaped back to Yazhou. When the Imperial Guards chased him to the border of Yazhou, there were only 3,000 people left.
The emperor demanded that they must bring back Shen Yanfeng's head, so they had no choice but to attack Yazhou by force.
Unexpectedly, this powerful attack almost led to their annihilation.
In the end, only a few hundred people were left, and they fled back to the capital at the risk of their lives.
When the emperor knew that Shen Yanfeng had taken over the mountain and became the king, he was so angry that he vomited blood again.
He didn't expect that Shen Yanfeng would really dare to do this. Now he has become a real threat to him.
A few days later, in the court, the old emperor was still wearing his imperial robes and sitting on the throne with the new emperor.
Although he was the emperor emeritus, he was the one who had always been in charge of the government.
The old emperor: "Shen Yanfeng actually occupied the mountain and became the king. An exiled criminal actually became the king. This is equivalent to treason. So I want to send 100,000 troops to flatten Yazhou and kill Shen Yanfeng to eliminate the trouble forever."
Jiang Moting: "Shen Yanfeng is indeed abominable, but he is the emperor emeritus. Kyoto is 5,000 miles away from Yazhou. A hundred thousand troops have traveled a long distance just to attack a barbaric place. It is indeed a bit too much."
The old emperor heard this. His face darkened instantly: "Master Jiang, is it because Shen Yanfeng was your uncle before that you feel sympathy for him?"
Jiang Moting couldn't help but kneel on the ground after hearing this. "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of protecting Shen Yanfeng. Every word I say is for Dawei's sake, Your Majesty!"
The old emperor glanced at him, then looked at the ministers: "My dear ministers, what is your vision?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that if Shen Yanfeng is not removed, it will definitely pose a greater hidden danger in the future, so I agree with your proposal."
Upon hearing this, the emperor could not help but become even more excited: "Yes, Lord Sun is still the most far-sighted."
"Your Highness and I also agree with the proposal of the Supreme Emperor."
The old emperor was naturally delighted when he saw this. Just as he was about to announce the imperial decree, the young emperor next to him suddenly said.
"Grandfather, I think you shouldn't mobilize so many troops to deal with Shen Yanfeng. Yazhou is a wild place. Even if he occupies the mountain and becomes the king, there is nothing to be afraid of. Grandfather, just send some people to keep an eye on him."
The old emperor's face darkened when he heard this: "Keep an eye on him? So many people chased him to Yazhou, but they couldn't chop off his head. Isn't such a person enough to be feared?"
Emperor: "But now the enemy troops at the border are ready to move. If another war breaks out, it will take a month for these people to rush back from Yazhou. Wouldn't the border be in danger?"
Upon hearing this, the old emperor could not help but frown. It was obvious that the issue raised by the new emperor was indeed worth considering.
"Then send 30,000 troops over there, which will be enough to flatten the wild land of Yazhou."
Emperor: "In my grandson's opinion, we should focus on prevention. There is really no need to send tens of thousands of troops south. After all, the Shen family is still in Suzhou, and Shen Yanfeng can't just ignore their lives."
The old emperor glanced at the new emperor with a dark face, and then he suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
The slap was so powerful that it turned his face red.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but gasp.
The new emperor blushed and lowered his head. As an emperor, he was hit and slapped in front of everyone. How could he establish his authority in front of his ministers in the future?
"My words are the imperial decree. It is not your turn to make decisions."
"My grandson knows his faults, and I hope that Grandfather will forgive me."
The old emperor: "I punish you to go back to the palace and copy one hundred historical records. If you haven't finished, you are not allowed to attend the court."
"My grandson obeys the order!"
After the new emperor returned to his bedroom, he locked himself in the house.
How could the emperor's body last a few more years? That means he will be suppressed by him in the next few years.
He can't do this, he must learn to resist.
In the end, the old emperor sent out 30,000 troops, gave them 10,000 taels of food and wages, and asked them to rush to Yazhou immediately.
As for the old and young in Suzhou, he was not in a hurry. As long as they were under his surveillance, he was not afraid of anything.
Jiang Moting did not tell Jiang Sujin the news, but she still learned the news from the servants' retelling.
It seems that the old emperor is determined to put Shen Yanfeng to death.
She learned from the servants that the new emperor was slapped in public by the retired emperor, so she thought she might be able to start with him.
A few days later, Jiang Sujin brought cakes to the palace to meet the emperor.
When the new emperor saw Jiang Sujin, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. After all, she was still a teenager.
Jiang Sujin: "Your Majesty, I brought you your favorite cakes, please try them!"
The new emperor waved away the palace servants and sat down next to Jiang Sujin.
"Second Mother, the Royal Grandfather wants to kill Dad. He really wants to kill him completely."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but tear up when she heard this: "Your Majesty, the Grand Emperor insists on doing this, and there is nothing we can do. Lord Shen is not someone who would rebel, otherwise he wouldn't allow himself to be exiled."
"Even if he is the king of the mountain, it was forced by the natives. There is no prefectural government there. The natives are always arrogant. If Lord Shen wants to survive, he can only fight with them."
"It's understandable to say this, but Shen Yanfeng has become the demon in the heart of the emperor, so he must get rid of him as soon as possible."
"But Your Majesty, think about it, how many generals and ministers like Shen Yanfeng are there in Dawei?"
"The Dazi of the Southwest have been restless. If Dawei becomes invincible in the future, the country will never have peace."
Upon hearing this, the new emperor couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "No, Dad can't die. I must not let my grandfather kill Dad."
Jiang Sujin: "But no one can stop the emperor now."
New Emperor: "It's not like there is no solution. Grandfather has always been in poor health."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this: "Your Majesty, this is very dangerous."
The new emperor gritted his teeth and said, "I am sure, but I may need Second Mother's help."
Jiang Sujin glanced at him, then was silent for a while and said, "Okay!"
A few days later, a folk miracle doctor came to the palace.
They were arranged by Jiang Sujin to enter the palace specifically to treat the Empress.
Because the Queen Mother has been restless recently, and her body is so weak that she can't even get out of bed. After all, her family has been demoted, and now her nephew is going to be killed, how can she sleep?
The new emperor felt sorry for the Empress Dowager, so he asked Jiang Sujin to find a famous doctor among the people.
Jiang Sujin's life had once been saved by a miracle doctor, so she sent them into the palace.
Sure enough, after the miracle doctor arrived, he immediately diagnosed the Queen's illness.
After that, the concubines in each palace began to spontaneously seek out the miracle doctor to check their pulses.
In less than two days, the miracle doctor became famous.
