There wasn't any life-or-death situation where he had to shout for mercy when he was about to be beheaded, and then he had to use flying stones to save himself.
Eunuch Liu's speed was astonishing. It would take at least fifteen minutes to reach the Meridian Gate from the Imperial Palace, but he arrived in less than thirty breaths.
He had not even started to sharpen the knife.
When he saved the man with the gold medal that was personally bestowed by His Majesty, the civil and military officials all heaved a sigh of relief, and so did the executioner.
Eunuch Liu narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly to himself."Wei Ge, you're getting bolder and bolder.”
Eunuch Liu felt two terrifying auras hidden in the dark. One was Zuo Qingshang, and the other was Su Xiong. However, Wei Ge had clearly said that he would capture the two of them. Now, it seemed that he was deceiving the emperor.
"The crime of deceiving the sovereign is not easy to bear, Duke of Wei.”Eunuch Liu shook his head. Fortunately, the two of them had a good relationship. Wei Ge was the same as him, so there was no reason for them to fight each other. Otherwise, Wei Ge would have to suffer a lot just because of this. What a great crime it was to continuously deceive the emperor!!
Mu Yu was still asleep when he was escorted to the execution ground.
From the beginning to the end, he was not worried.
In any case, he had already told Zuo Qingshang and the others that he would come up with a plan to settle the silver. After setting up a plan to help the border with five million taels of silver, he would let them save him before or during the execution and escape far away.
If he really couldn't save her, he still had the protection of the system. In addition, he could make a comeback and find another job. In addition, he was extremely sleepy and slept very soundly.
He slept for two days and one night.
He didn't even know that he had been saved.
The next day, during the morning court session, Mu Yu slept soundly at home.
And the court was already in an uproar.
……
"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss." The civil and military officials criticized the empress verbally and in writing. They all blamed the empress for being too impulsive and not being able to tolerate it, which almost caused the matter to be delayed.
The empress's expression started to change from her calm expression to a frown. Then, her expression turned cold and finally, there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
In the end, his face turned completely black.
The civil and military officials were actually united and criticized her in both words and writing. One after another, who could withstand this?
"Dear ministers, I felt a cold and my head was hot. I don't even know what decree I gave. I was wrong in this matter, but I have already redeemed myself.”After the officials were done with their verbal and written criticism, the empress finally spoke. She was so angry that she was about to die. When she decided to kill that traitor, she regretted it so much. Now that she had saved him, she wished she could just die. Because of him, how much hair had she lost?
And all the civil and military officials said it at the same time?
How many years had it been since these officials had been so united? Did that dog really want to cover the sky with one hand and take over the imperial court with his one word?
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important." Seeing that the Emperor was using illness as an excuse to evade, coupled with the resentment in his heart just now, and that he had vented most of it in the previous quarrel, the civil and military officials all stopped.
"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important. When you are seriously ill, don't give out orders randomly.”Chief Wang said. He was also one of the victims. These few days, he had been worried and tired every day. He comforted the officials and was afraid that something big would happen.
The empress felt angry again after being reprimanded by Chief Wang, but her face remained expressionless.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." The Minister of Works stepped forward.
The empress's eyes lit up.”
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, Marquis Mu has been leading, and I, along with my subordinate, Li Yan, have been assisting. We have been working hard to help Marquis create a new salt-making method that can extract large amounts of refined salt from the salt mine. After that, other than the sea salt fields, our Great Luo also invented a new method of making salt!”Minister Yu of the Ministry of Works was so excited that he was trembling.
All the officials were silent.
Among the officials present, how many of them could not eat the high-grade salt that could be called 'refined salt'? Most of them were miscellaneous salt, only slightly better than salt mines.
The empress took a deep breath and said slowly,"My dear minister, how much is this unbelievable amount?”
"Your Majesty." The Minister of Works straightened his back and proudly looked at the officials who were looking at him with anticipation, hope, and all kinds of complicated gazes. He, the Minister of Works, had also shown his divinity in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, as long as the quantity is promoted, there will be no shortage of refined salt. Everyone can afford refined salt, and every household will not lack refined salt.”
The sound was like thunder.
The entire imperial court fell silent, as if thunder was ringing in their ears.
In the imperial court, the empress was also sitting on the dragon throne in a daze.
His mind was filled with those words.
In the Great Fall, there would be no shortage of salt. It would be refined salt, and everyone could afford it.
These few words repeated in his mind.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A voice sounded beside his ear.
The empress came back to her senses. It was Minister Yu of the Ministry of Works calling her.
"Your Majesty, I have already discussed with Marquis Mu about the method of refining salt and promoting it. I hope that Your Majesty will allow Duke Wei to lead it.”
"Good, good!" A smile appeared on the empress's face. Her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, competing with each other for beauty. Many officials, civil servants, and generals in the court were stunned by this scene. They all knelt down in unison because at that moment, they had an improper thought in their hearts. That moment of display was not even enough to describe the beauty of a country. What kind of heavenly beauty was that?
The empress's expression quickly regained its usual calmness. She still couldn't hide the smile on her face and said,"Very good. I am very happy. This is a good thing for the country and the world. Pass on my will. The Duke of Wei will lead the way and teach the world. In addition, today is one of the small events. The whole world will celebrate and congratulate him.”
"Your Majesty is wise." All the officials said in unison.
The entire imperial court was in high spirits, and the civil and military officials could not hide their smiles.
Great fall, another peerless quality.
Following the rare crop from before, there was now a rare salt refining method. With this, the prosperity of the Great Luo was just around the corner. At that time, how much silver could they exchange for the Great Luo by relying on salt diplomacy and selling it?
Moreover, this was a faster and more effective benefit than rare crops.
When the country is prosperous, all officials will naturally flourish.
With the country's financial resources relaxed, their salaries would also increase, and their living environment would also be better.
"Good, wonderful. This, this is a sign of great prosperity. Your Majesty, you are wise.”An old official stroked his beard and praised repeatedly.
"The great prosperity is all thanks to His Majesty.”The officials said, sounding more and more uncomfortable.
What does this have to do with His Majesty?
At first, the empress was also very happy. However, when she thought about what she had done, her heart gradually turned cold.
This salt was made by that traitor. Moreover, it was made by him when he was in prison, overcoming difficulties and vomiting blood…
To put it bluntly, it was something that she did when she was about to die. As for her? He had almost killed him. This was because he had researched it. If he hadn't researched it or was a little late, wouldn't he have been a sinner for thousands of years if he had killed him again?
At the thought of this, the empress felt more and more guilty.
"Dear ministers, if you have this to report, you can leave the court if there's nothing else.”the empress said hurriedly.
It was already too late.
The civil and military officials also thought of this matter. When they realized what was going on, they once again attacked the empress.
"Your Majesty, you've gone too far this time."
" Your Majesty, you've really lost your mind this time…" A series of words were hurled at Fadi, saying that it was fortunate that he had come to his senses, or else the hearts of the people would be lost. Things like making a mistake and being a sinner in history books were as unpleasant as they could be.
During the court session, the empress's face was stern and there was no sign of her happiness.
Zi 'er looked on and felt sympathy for the Emperor, but she had no choice.
Such great news should really be celebrated by the whole world. The Emperor should have been in a good mood, but the officials were too vicious. On such a good day, they talked about the Emperor and ruined his good mood. However, there was no other way. Who asked the Emperor to take things too hard previously? He insisted on capturing Lord Mu and beheading him.
It was fine if he wanted to behead them, but he couldn't bear to do so. It was fine if he couldn't bear to do so, but Lord Mu had also established an army of outstanding achievements. This was great. He had brought this upon himself.
" As for the reward, we'll talk about it another day…" After the court session ended, the empress returned to her bedroom with a straight face. She didn't know where to vent her anger. She had asked for it.
