Chapter 217 Rabbit's Speed
Chapter 217 Rabbit's Speed
On the dragon throne, the bright yellow figure was fully revealed. No one knew whether he had just arrived or had been there all along. Their emperor was a deity with a divine mark on his forehead, and people dared not even speculate about him in their hearts.
"Everyone loves you."
Everyone stood up and looked up at the person in the high position. More than ten years had passed, but he still looked about twenty years old, with a smile on his lips. However, his aura of majesty and coldness made people afraid to get close.
"If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat from the court."
After he finished speaking, the hall remained silent. His Majesty's temperament was somewhat unpredictable, and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.
Several people secretly gave Xie Xiao a meaningful look, and Xie Xiao stepped forward first.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
"explain."
Xie Xiao first gave a brief report on the rabbit disease infection situation across the country in the past few days, and then talked about the situation in the concentration camps.
"Your Majesty, concentration camps are being built more and more in various places. We are powerless to find a solution."
Shen Yingsi lowered his eyes and asked, "What are your opinions, my esteemed ministers?"
An elderly minister said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the methods used back then were sufficient to quell the rabbit disease."
As soon as the suggestion was made, someone immediately objected, "Absolutely not!"
"Your Majesty, this method must not be used to quell the rabbit disease. Times have changed. Back then, the number of people suffering from the rabbit disease was far less than one-tenth of what it is today. Now, demons are eyeing the human world with predatory intent, and the number of people infected with the rabbit disease is increasing day by day. If this method is used, it will be tantamount to courting death!"
"Your Majesty, what Lord Li said is absolutely right."
Shen Yingsi nodded and then asked, "What about the others? Do they have any other insights?"
Xie Wanzhou: "Your Majesty, I believe that only by finding the source of the rabbit disease and understanding why it continues to spread can this matter be resolved. We must not resort to the methods of the past unless absolutely necessary."
Someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this rabbit disease is coming on fiercely. I believe it must be a trick by the demon in heaven. She wants to seize the human world without lifting a finger. The most urgent task is not to deal with the rabbit disease, but to attack the heavens. Perhaps the opportunity for Your Majesty to become a god will come then."
Another person stepped forward, "His Majesty's tribulation for ascending to godhood has been delayed. The Imperial Advisor once said that what His Majesty lacks now is an opportunity, which may be the opportunity for the war between humans and demons."
Xie Xiao glanced at the person behind him, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the world has finally enjoyed a few years of peace. We must not stir up trouble at this time."
"How can this be considered us starting trouble? It's clearly the demons who started it! They're already riding roughshod over us, if we keep tolerating this, they'll be shitting themselves!"
"You...you're so vulgar! Only time will tell. If we blindly charge in, we'll surely suffer heavy casualties..."
The two sides debated in a relatively civilized and amicable manner.
After arguing for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Shen Yingsi looked up at the ministers who had spoken, and they immediately bowed their heads and retreated.
Shen Yingsi suddenly looked at Wen Zhi'en, who had been silent, and asked, "Prime Minister Wen, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
This sentence startled Wen Zhi'en. In recent years, because of the Liang family and Wen Li, the Wen family has been disliked by both the court and the people. He would rather remain silent than admit it.
This rabbit disease is a hot potato; no matter what you do, there will be casualties, and you can't get anything good out of it.
He calmly replied, "Your Majesty, the matter of the rabbit disease is far-reaching and difficult to quell in a short time. Whether we use the methods of the past or march on the Heavenly Realm, it is still too early for us to act now."
"So, what does Prime Minister Wen think we should do?"
Wen Zhi'en pondered for a long time without being able to speak, feeling uneasy. "This... I have not yet come up with a perfect solution."
"Can't figure it out? I recently heard that a daughter of the Wen family wants to enter the palace. It seems that Prime Minister Wen's mind is all on this."
Thump! The sound of kneeling down was sudden.
Wen Zhi'en felt uneasy and hurriedly tried to explain, "Your Majesty, I..."
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. I'll put you in full charge of the rabbit disease matter. If you want to secure your position, do something practical, and stop with this scheme of selling your daughter for personal gain."
Wen Zhi'en dared not refute, and bowed his head to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly handle the matter of the rabbit disease properly."
Shen Yingsi withdrew his gaze and asked, "Has the Imperial Advisor not returned yet today?"
"The Imperial Preceptor reported a few days ago that he has found the Celestial Official and should be back soon, Your Majesty."
"Well, that's enough for today. I'm tired."
……
The carriage stopped at the door, and Wen Zhi'en got off and strode inside, with the people behind her following anxiously.
After passing through the vast mansion, we arrived at a secluded villa.
"master……"
When Liang saw her husband, her face was full of joy. She went to greet him, but was suddenly slapped.
"Stupid woman!"
Madam Liang immediately knelt down, "My lord, I have been behaving myself these days and have not gone out at all."
Wen Zhi'en kicked the man to the ground and cursed, "Are you going to behave yourself? Didn't you spread the news about Mingzhu entering the palace that's been circulating in the capital lately? You're trying to get me killed!"
Madam Liang's eyes darted nervously left and right. "I'm doing this only for Zhu'er. She's already thirty. If she doesn't enter the palace soon, her life will be ruined!"
"And last time the Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace, it was she who personally told His Majesty that he wanted Zhu'er to enter the palace. She said that His Majesty had this intention, but it had been delayed by his cultivation of immortality over the years. If His Majesty still hadn't become a god in a few days, he would remember our Zhu'er."
Wen Zhi'en frowned in disgust. "His Majesty hates interference in his affairs the most. For so many years, his harem has been empty with no children. Who can control him! Even the Empress Dowager herself doesn't dare to say it. She's using you as a pawn, and you're happy about it! Stupid woman!"
"Master, what should we do? What should we do about our Zhu'er? She's already an old maid. Please have pity on our daughter."
Wen Zhi'en said coldly, "Mingzhu is my daughter. Do you think I can kick her out of the manor? If she stays in the Wen manor, I will protect her for the rest of my life."
Wen Zhi'en stood there, and Liang Shi crawled to his feet, sobbing, "Master, if you can't get married, people will laugh at you!"
"Besides, our Mingzhu is so favored by the Empress Dowager, she is capable of becoming Empress, she is capable of becoming Empress!"
"My lord, please help Mingzhu. If Mingzhu becomes empress, it will also help the Wen family. Perhaps then, Liang Tiantian will see that the Wen family is doing well and will willingly surrender to us? My lord~"
Liang sobbed softly, tugging at Wen Zhi'en's trouser leg and acting coquettishly. Unfortunately, she was now in her fifties, and because she no longer cultivated immortality and no longer had the support of the Liang family's elixirs, she looked ten years older than Wen Zhi'en. Now, when she tried to act coquettishly, she couldn't get any pity from the man.
Besides, On Ji-eun has never been a soft-hearted person.
"You don't need to worry about Mingzhu's affairs anymore. From today onwards, you will stay in your courtyard and are not allowed to leave without my order."
What does this mean?
"Master, master, master..."
Wen Zhi'en walked out, and Liang Shi wanted to chase after him but was stopped by others. She could only cry and hope that he would turn back.
