Chapter 422 Cursing the Tyrant
Chapter 422 Cursing the Tyrant
Xu Fengyu, Shangguan Li, Bai Ze and other princes of the six kingdoms shouted angrily at Lin Aoyuan in unison, and then walked to Xu Yuexi with great dignity and surrounded her tightly. They all had gloomy faces and sharp eyes, staring straight at Lin Aoyuan who was sitting on the dragon throne.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense.
At this moment, the ministers on both sides of the hall were on pins and needles, and they all wished that they could disappear from this place instantly. They lowered their heads one by one, as if they wanted to shrink their necks into their chests, and dared not raise them even a little bit. They looked like a group of invisible people who wanted to hide their existence.
These ministers were filled with shame and anger. After all, what was happening before their eyes was so shameful that they felt ashamed as ministers.
However, their emperor is still unaware of the culprit behind this situation.
Their emperor's recent behavior has become increasingly absurd and unorthodox. He does not behave like a wise ruler at all.
Now he has insulted and neglected the Crown Princess of a big country and the Crown Princes of other countries. If he continues to behave like this, won't their countries be in danger?
They, the ministers, had tried their best to persuade the emperor and to stop him, but the emperor insisted on his own way and would not listen to any good advice.
Faced with such a stubborn and self-willed emperor, they, as ministers, were really helpless! Now that the prince has returned, they can only pray that he can turn the tide and persuade the emperor to work hard to govern the country and revive the government.
The angry rebukes from the princes made Lin Aoyuan tremble all over, as if an electric current instantly ran through his body, causing him to shudder violently.
His brain, which had been somewhat confused, suddenly became extremely clear as if a basin of ice water was poured over it, and he was completely awake at this moment.
Oh my God! What did he do just now? Today was the great day when his daughter-in-law came to the country, why did he confront her? And even told her to kneel down? Why did he lose his mind at that time?
Just when Lin Aoyuan was about to explain a few words to save the situation, he heard the voice of his unfilial son.
"Your Majesty, what you did today, how can you be half as good as a ruler of a country and a father of a family? Put aside the state affairs for now, and just talk about this family matter.
My wife is pregnant. She ignored her own hard work and traveled thousands of miles to accompany me back home. However, you only sent a few people to greet her at the city gate and did not even arrange a decent welcoming ceremony.
When we returned to the palace, you didn't even prepare a seat for us, let alone a banquet. It was our first meeting, and you were so polite right away, not showing any warmth and care that an elder should have. You even had evil thoughts about your daughter-in-law. How can you be a father?"
Lin Aoyuan's rudeness towards Xu Yuexi made Lou Moyu very angry. He stood beside Xu Yuexi with a stern face, staring at Lin Aoyuan who was sitting on the dragon throne. He loudly rebuked Lin Aoyuan in front of all the ministers, without considering his face as the king.
Every word of Lou Moyu's righteous words was like a sharp sword, piercing Lin Aoyuan's heart. Rebellious son! He was simply a rebellious son! If he was not the only rebellious son left, he would definitely kill him and cut him into pieces.
The ministers present all took a deep breath. They had never thought that their prince would dare to rebuke the emperor so mercilessly in public. However, they felt inexplicably happy! Their emperor was a complete mess and he really deserved to be scolded!
"How dare you scold me, son of a traitor!"
"What's wrong with scolding you? You did something wrong, shouldn't you be scolded?" Lou Moyu asked back, "You are not only unworthy of being a father, but also unworthy of being a king. On the way back, we met Lord Yuan Qi who was being hunted down. It was you who sent people to hunt him down because he discovered that you had embezzled the treasury silver.
He has been an official in the court for thirteen years, and he is a good official who is dedicated to the country and the people. However, you, for your own selfish desires and the pursuit of so-called immortality, did not hesitate to assassinate important officials of the court. How can you be a king if you are so incompetent and unjust?
Now that I have returned to my country, Your Majesty, please abdicate and let others take over!"
