Chapter 186: Retiring Back To Their Hometown
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, during morning court proceedings, the right hand minister took a step forward to present his report. The minister was about forty to fifty years old, dressed in a gold uniform and gold crown-like hairpin. He had a rather long black beard, strong eyebrows, and tiger-like eyes.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard that because the Empress Dowager struck the empress’ maid, she hacked off the Empress Dowager’s legs. The heavens cannot tolerate that very crime! So, I request that Your Majesty please divorce the empress and restore the imperial regime!”
Then, the left hand minister stepped forward. He was about fifty to sixty years old, dressed in dark grey clothing, and wore a black crown-like hair accessory. He has an ashy white beard and auspicious eyes.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard that Her Majesty the Empress skinned the beautiful woman gifted to you from Dongxia. That was truly ruthless! May I ask, how can someone so insidious and ferocious be the mother of a country?! So, I request that Your Majesty please divorce the empress and restore the imperial regime!”
“I heard that Your Majesty dismissed the harem for Her Majesty the Empress. That is absolutely inappropriate! Because that would affect the very foundation of our country! Your Majesty, please marry another beautiful woman and continue your lineage!”
“I also second that motion!”
…
Han Moze’s face fell. “I permitted the empress to do what she did! What more do the state officials want to say about that? Could you possibly be asking me to step down from the throne?”
“I dare not!” The left hand minister reported promptly after taking a step forward.
“Your Majesty, I dare not!” The right hand minister exclaimed as well.
“I see that you two are both old and delirious, just simply unfit to serve as officials at court. And so, as of tomorrow, I order you both to retire to your hometowns!” Han Moze grunted coldly.
“Your Majesty, I am not old! I can still continue to take on the responsibilities of the left hand minister! I sincerely request for the emperor to withdraw your decree!” Cried the left hand minister who immediately jumped forward.
“Your Majesty, I too am willing to take the responsibilities of the right hand minister!” The right hand minister’s face turned instantly dejected, as he hurriedly stepped forward to speak.
“My mind is made up! Court adjourned!” Han Moze roared, then walked towards the back of the palace halls.
That bunch of old, stubborn men! He had wanted to chase them out a long time ago.
The court immediately erupted.
“Your Majesty has truly become more vicious!”
“I really feel sorry for the left and right hand ministers! They have to now retire to their hometowns just because this spoke ill of the empress!”
“The empress truly is a demoness!”
“This nation will fall by the empress’ hand sooner or later!”
Han Moze took big strides back to the Dark Moon Palace.
“Looking at how unhappy you are puts me in a great mood for some reason,” Liu Rushuang said with a cold grin.
Han Moze smiled silently. “As if this isn’t all because of you! All state officials want me to divorce you.”
Liu Rushuang couldn’t help but retort, “What does that have to do with me? I only got ruthless because other people wanted to offend me. Otherwise, why would I torture people for no reason?”
“That’s right, so I sent the left and right hand minister back to their hometowns. I have to select new officials to replace them. I wonder if you have any suggestions?” Han Moze asked with a smile, in his seat.
Liu Rushuang’s face tensed up for a moment. She never imagined that this tyrant would actually send so many state officials away for her. How truly touching! However, when she thought back to the things that tyrant had done to her, she immediately couldn’t feel touched by his efforts.
When she heard Han Moze mention selecting people, Liu Rushuang flatly cried, “How about holding an examination throughout the country, then carry out an imperial exam?”
Han Moze’s eyes lit up. “Haha… alright, alright. Then, let’s go with that. Shuang’er, you’re really clever!”
Liu Rushuang grinned silently. She knew all about the imperial exams a long time ago.
