The atmosphere in Plentiful Grain Palace was very heavy. Princess Yin Yue controlled more than half of the female officials. Everyone knelt on the ground and refused to give up, insisting that the old madam step forward to dismiss Feng Yuxiu.
The old madam was clearly hesitant. On one side was Feng Yuxiu, who had disappointed her, and on the other side was Princess Yinyue, who everyone supported. She could not decide.
"Old Furen, please remove His Majesty from the throne. Otherwise, we will kneel for a long time.”The female officials shouted again.
Feng Yuxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that they wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.
Princess Yin Yue smiled triumphantly, but she still pretended to scold him,"What's wrong with you people? Although His Majesty had made a small mistake, he could not force His Majesty to abdicate. It was too much.”
"Don't say anymore." The old madam waved her hand solemnly. She looked at Feng Yuxiu in disappointment and was about to speak.
Feng Yuxiu was shocked. It seemed that the old madam was preparing to remove him from the throne.
With the old madam's prestige in the Xi Liang Matriarch Kingdom, once she opened her mouth, there would be no room for negotiation.
"Grandma, don't be anxious. Let me explain first." Feng Yuxiu spoke first.”
The old lady was stunned, but she still nodded.
Feng Yuxiu laughed coldly." This Che Chi Country's matter isn't that simple. They actually want us to send 500 young ladies as tribute on the birthday of the Che Chi Country's king." We are not a subordinate country of Che Chi Country, why should we send women for their pleasure?”
"There's such a thing?" The old madam was shocked and furious. Her calm face was already filled with anger.
She was once the king of a country of women. When had she ever been bullied like this?
Princess Yin Yue's heart skipped a beat and she became uneasy.
"Of course I wouldn't dare to lie to Grandma. Grandma can easily find out about this matter," Feng Yuxiu said seriously. And at that time, Aunt Yin Yue actually agreed to this suggestion, which really shocked me.”
The old madam glared at Yin Yue angrily. Her eyes were filled with disappointment, causing Yin Yue's face to turn pale.
"As for True Immortal Ruyi, that's even simpler.”Feng Yuxiu sneered." Because of this old Daoist, our national treasury is now completely empty. Not only are we unable to pay the civil and military officials, but we are also unable to rescue the various natural disasters. Perhaps in a few days, everyone in the palace will starve to death. Grandma, do you think I have no choice but to touch him?”
"Is it that serious?" The old madam was shocked again.
Feng Yuxiu said earnestly," Grandma, although I've been indulging in pleasure these past few years, the country is facing a crisis now. As the emperor, I have to do something. Please support me, Grandma."”
The old madam looked at Feng Yuxiu in shock, her eyes shining with hope.
"Good! Sure!" "I'm very happy that Your Majesty can do this. As long as Your Majesty is doing this for the good of the Kingdom of Women, I will fully support you." Isn't he just the Bull Demon King? If he dares to come, even if I have to risk my old life, I will protect the country of women.”
"Thank you for your support, Grandma." He was awarded the title of Music Master.
He was delighted that he had temporarily passed this hurdle.
Princess Yinyue and the female officials were ashen. They didn't expect the old madam to still support Feng Yuxiu in the end. Their evil scheme had vanished like smoke.
Feng Yuxiu sneered as he glanced at them. He suddenly said,"Wu Mingxue, Minister of Personnel Affairs, Li Ruoling, Minister of Revenue, Gong Yueju, Minister of Justice, the three of you are too mediocre to take on such important responsibilities. From today onwards, you will be stripped of all your positions and await your punishment at home.”
The female officials widened their eyes in shock. Feng Yuxiu was going to settle the score later.
These three ministers were Princess Yin Yue's trusted aides and the leaders of the female officials. Feng Yuxiu's sudden attack on the three of them immediately made everyone tremble in fear.
"Your Majesty, we didn't commit any major crimes!”Wu Mingxue and the other two cried out in panic.
"Your Majesty, these three ministers have worked so hard for the country. You're going to hurt the hearts of all the officials." Princess Yinyue shouted angrily.”
"It's better to be sad than to keep a bunch of disobedient trash.”Feng Yuxiu sneered.
" You…" Princess Yin Yue was furious.
Once the three ministers were expelled, her power in the court would be halved. At that time, she would be even further away from the throne.
Princess Yin Yue had no choice but to plead with the old madam,"Mother, look at His Majesty. This is complete nonsense.”
The old madam glanced at her and sneered,""You are the one who is messing around. His Majesty is the ruler of a country. Whatever he says goes.”
Princess Yin Yue was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. In the end, she could only remain silent with a livid face. When she saw Feng Yuxiu's disdainful gaze, she became even angrier.
"Humph!" "Your Majesty, you fired three ministers at once. Aren't you afraid that the various departments will be paralyzed?" Princess Yinyue mocked.”
Feng Yuxiu looked at her mockingly and suddenly said,"The positions of the three ministers will be taken over by their deputies. If I am not satisfied, Zhen will personally appoint someone to take over.”
Everyone was shocked once again by Feng Yuxiu's methods.
Of course, the deputies of the three ministers were also Princess Yin Yue's people, but now Feng Yuxiu actually let them take the position. If they did not do well, they would be dismissed. Feng Yuxiu's intention was obvious. He wanted to give them a chance to stand on their side again. Whether they wanted to get lost or become ministers was entirely up to them.
The three assistants knelt on the ground in surprise and shouted without hesitation,""I swear my loyalty to Your Majesty."
In the face of their future, the three of them betrayed Princess Yinyue and chose to pledge their loyalty to Feng Yuxiu.
Princess Yin Yue was so angry that her entire body trembled. She had suffered a huge loss, but she had no way to vent it. This really made her furious.
"Very good!" Feng Yuxiu patted the storage pouch at his waist, and a large pile of gold, silver, and jewelry appeared on the empty ground.
"The Minister of Revenue will count the assets and return them to the national treasury. All natural and man-made disasters must be rescued, understand?”Feng Yuxiu said solemnly.
"Yes, sir! I will obey." The new Minister of Revenue replied respectfully.
The other female officials looked at each other. In the end, their gazes softened.
The king's performance was too bad before, so they had joined Princess Yinyue. But now, Feng Yuxiu's methods had made them waver.
Feng Yuxiu was delighted and ignored them. After bidding farewell to the old madam, he hurriedly walked out. Now that they were at war with Che Chiguo, the country might be destroyed. There was no time to dawdle.
