Chapter 9 Cut the Beard to Make a Brush

There is a mess inside and outside the palace, and it is a mess.

After the fifth brother woke up, he saw himself wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon throne, and accepting the kneeling of officials in the court, and the fifth brother felt trembling.

Taking off his dragon robe and quickly walked out of the hall. The officials who didn't know the truth didn't have time to chase the fifth brother, but instead were worried about whether they would still be alive like this. They stood up uneasy, but none of the officials dared to walk out of the hall.

The empress, concubines, and nobles in the palace did not know what had happened, but only heard news from the servants. The emperor suddenly stood up in the court, and without saying a word, headed straight to the palace gate. He took all the guards on duty in the palace at the entrance of the palace. He heard that he also took out the most precious carriage in the palace. He heard that the ministers in the court did not dare to speak, and each lowered his head and knelt on the ground.

Suddenly, these people returned to their palace, closed the door and recalled all their people, and closed the yard door and never dared to go out again.

The servants in the palace also understood that they realized that they were very small in the palace and would definitely be the object of punishment, and the punishment was only the death penalty.

Everyone had pale faces, as dumb as a wooden chicken.

Only the new ones did not know the truth, suddenly, as if the sky had changed, were at a loss, and asked each other in panic, and they gritted their teeth and refused to say it; those who didn't understand pulled people to question it.

The guards in the palace were no longer there. Those who came to hear the news were all those guards who were resting at home. They didn't say much, and did their duty and waited for news.

Those who want to escape in the chaos dare not walk around at will, for fear that a knife will fall.

As for why it has reached this point, no one can tell clearly. They only know that their identity has changed. People who will also be punished are thinking about their own strategies for escaping.

The fifth brother welcomed Li Mei into the palace. Everything in the palace was the same. When it was time to perform, he would bow and desperately warn himself that everything he had just had a ridiculous dream.

Li Mei pulled Long all the way to the supreme position of the hall, sat down, and looked at the officials who were kneeling. Although some officials did not know each other, Li Mei did not ask much, and nodded seriously to the ministers who were kneeling.

Seeing that the new emperor had no intention of blaming them, the officials were exhausted and relaxed, and they all sat in the lobby. Someone said a word, and each stood up in a panic.

"Sit all, sit all!" Li Mei smiled, turned around and pressed Long on the dragon seat, stepped down the steps, and knelt on the hall with these officials.

When she sat like this, the ministers were so scared that they did not dare to get up again, nor did they dare to move around, and they all leaned over and leaned down on the ground.

"Why are you all doing this? Otherwise, go back?" Li Mei asked.

Li Mei climbed into the hall for the first time and spoke to them in close proximity for the first time. She was originally dissatisfied with her. At this time, she was afraid that Li Mei would bring about an old story, and she would not dare to talk to her.

"The fifth brother has always been the person I trust the most. Now that I want him to sit on this throne, he is qualified and able to sit on this throne. Now, I have a tiny ability and I am trembling all day long. Fortunately, I have the fifth brother and you. You work diligently every day for the State of Chu, and are also heroes. How could I forget your contributions in a silly way? From now on, we will work together to build our country stronger!"

"I will see how you do your job well, for the people under your jurisdiction, for the Chu State, and for me, how you do it. I will see what you deserve, and what you deserve to be rewarded and punished will naturally be indispensable."

"Do you have any more to report?"

“…”

"If you have nothing to do, just step back." Li Mei waved her hand and prepared to leave.

"I... have something to say." An old man walked forward tremblingly and knelt in front of Li Mei, "I... have something to say."

"If the topic involves my fifth brother, don't say it. I will tell you solemnly again that before this, the fifth brother has made contributions to governing the government affairs on my behalf. In the palace, his family lives in this palace, which I allow. The above will not be given at any time in the future." Li Mei finished speaking in one breath, then looked at the old minister with a smile, waiting for him to speak down.

The old minister's white beard hung on the ground, white and spotless.

Li Mei thought to herself that this white beard is very beautiful, and the beautiful bearded man should be just like this.

"Uh... the law..." The old minister didn't know how to speak, and Li Mei was the first to block his words.

"I have nothing to say, maybe I want to say something else." Li Mei reminded.

"The old minister tried his best to say that there was a law in the palace."

"You are offside." Li Mei coldly interrupted the old minister.

"The old minister tried his best to die."

"I have the final say in my palace. Can you try your best to manage it instead of me?"

"Old minister... fight."

"You have only one life, you are so old, and you are trying to hold a young man to take care of you. Even if you die, it is worth it. You have lived enough and want to die. I won't stop you, but if you want someone to take care of you, you have to think carefully about who will be the one who takes care of you in the end?" Li Mei said softly. She clearly sent every word she said into the minister's ears.

"Who else do you have to fight to the death?" Li Mei said loudly.

Those ministers who were waiting for the opportunity quickly lowered their heads, and went to the army to make trouble, and then forced each other to death. Do you really think that this queen is a vegetarian?

"My words are still useless. Humph, I want to fight to the death and feel that I have lived enough. There are so many poor people in Chu. I don't try my best to improve the lives of those poor people, and I always want to establish my authority! I was not guilty today, but since I refused to turn this page, let me establish my authority!"

Some officials showed joy and their backs were slightly straightened.

"The one who takes me back to the palace will receive rewards. Please reward me one by one according to the regulations, and do not miss it!" Li Mei bowed to the fifth brother and said.

The fifth brother immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

Li Mei shook her head helplessly, but she was still so rigid.

She glared angrily, without waiting for the officials to react, and pointed at the old minister kneeling on the ground, "I made a mistake, didn't want to correct it, and made a false statement. Now, I went to court and just walked around the gate of death. I don't want to see the dead again, but he is unlucky to escape the death penalty."

Li Mei stopped here and looked around all the officials present, no one dared to look up again.

"Cut off his beard and replace his head. Present him to me! Retreat!" Li Mei shouted.

The old minister was frightened and fell aside. The four guards in front of the hall pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, grabbed the old minister with the other, and silently took the old minister out.

"Ah!" A shouted outside the hall. The people who were about to leave were shocked. Could it be...

A guard walked in with a handful of white hair on a tray.

Li Mei called the guard to her side with malicious intentions and reached out to touch her white beard.

Her hand was held by a big hand.

Li Mei grinned and pleased her, looking back at the owner of the hand, Long.

"I'll touch it."

"What's there to touch?"

"Fifth brother, this beard is good. If you find a famous general to make it a brush, you can use it in the future to approve it." Li Mei slightly pointed at the white beard with her chin.

The fifth brother understood it and led the guards behind him to salute Li Mei and respectfully sent Li Mei away.

Li Mei took the lead and left the hall seriously, and did not allow the people around her to retreat. Long, who was following Li Mei, picked up Li Mei, carried it on his shoulders, and strode forward alone.

Li Mei didn't think this was something, so she raised her body slightly, pointed at the person behind her, and waved her hand.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids opened their mouths wide. Although they didn't understand what she meant, it was not good to follow the past, nor was it good to follow the past. When they were in a dilemma, they slowed down. One of them looked at the others, and they slowed down and it was not good to follow the past.

The steps were very high and there were many. Long hung Li Mei's body upside down, which made Li Mei's head dizzy, and it was even more uncomfortable.

Li Mei felt uncomfortable and didn't dare to lose her temper with Long. Because only Long would always think about her. Long, who was angry now, must have some reason to make him angry, and even reflected on where he didn't do it well, which angered Long.
