Chapter 109 Fury for a Beauty (1/2)

Chu Tiankuo felt quite angry about the memorials to the throne by his ministers. ”What are these pedantic old ministers thinking about? How could they bother me regarding the matters of the imperial harem?”

”Does my world only comprise of my imperial harem? What are these ministers doing? They are just stirring up trouble among my imperial harem instead of managing the difficulty and anxiety or governing the world for me.”

”It seems that I have treated them too well, so much so that these ministers forget who their master is!”

Chu Tiankuo's eyebrows were furrowed and there was anger in his eyes. The bright yellow of his clothes was dazzling as his ministers knelt on the ground and beseeched him to divorce Tang Xia.

Chu Tiankuo's beautiful, thin lips had curled into a sneer, but he kept quiet.

What Chu Tiankuo did was to stare at the ministers kneeling on the ground as if he wanted to see what was going on in their heads. And all the ministers felt guilty as if Chu Tiankuo had gained an insight into their minds.

At this time, a minister could not stand his glare anymore and said, ”Your Majesty, please divorce Tang Xia!”

Someone had taken the lead to express this notion, so the others seconded the notion that Chu Tiankuo should divorce Tang Xia.

Their voices was so loud that Chu Tiankuo had an earache.

Then Chu Tiankuo cast his piercing eyes on the minister who had taken the lead.

That minister could not help trembling in fear.

But he was dissatisfied with Chu Tiankuo's favor for Tang Xia, which left no chance for his daughter.

So he kept on shouting that Chu Tiankuo should divorce Tang Xia.

Chu Tiankuo felt that his authority was being challenged. ”How dare these ministers do this? How could they intervene in the matters of my imperial harem? It seems that I have treated them too kindly!”

”Shut up!” Chu Tiankuo opened his mouth and said this quietly. But the coldness and deterrent force in his voice made them all quake in fear!

When they heard what Chu Tiankuo said, the ministers were shocked. Although Chu Tiankuo was a wise emperor, his coldness towards people was beyond comparison.

Frightened as those ministers were, some were still bold enough to persist in their demands.

”Your Majesty, please divorce Tang Xia, so that you can be a wise emperor again!” Then the minister knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The ministers around him were encouraged by his behavior and started trying to persuade Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo was very annoyed by the garrulity of these ministers. What irritated him most that they were forcing him to make a decision.

”So you do not regard me as a wise emperor now?” Chu Tiankuo asked the minister who had taken the lead, angrily.

That minister dared not answer the question as he might die if he did not give the right answer. He had no choice but to compliment Chu Tiankuo, ”I'm just trying to rid you of 'evil' ministers, Your Majesty. Please calm down...”

Before the minister finished his sentence, Chu Tiankuo said, ”Rid me of 'evil' ministers? How dare you! Do you think those around me are all disobedient ministers?”

”Please calm down, Your Majesty. I just don't want to see our realm endangered by a woman. I am willing to give my life to persuade you, if you do not listen to my suggestion!” That minister appeared quite impassioned. It was as if his life now lay in Chu Tiankuo's hands.

When the other ministers heard the passionate pleas of that man, they all said that Chu Tiankuo should divorce Tang Xia, for fear that the old ministers would be bitterly disappointed.

The incident had reached such a stage that Chu Tiankuo was thoroughly pissed. ”These ministers do not take me seriously. I have to punish these pedantic ministers who brag about themselves.”

”I definitely cannot bear it if you die. So how about offering advice to me after you have settled down?” Chu Tiankuo appeared quite calm as if he was saying something insignificant. However, he convicted the minister of a crime, with a banter.

That man froze immediately as if he had just heard a piece of quite shocking news, ”How could His Majesty treat me like this? He must have been enchanted by that woman!”

”Your Majesty, good advice is harsh to the ear! Your Majesty...” That minister shouted in a loud voice, while Chu Tiankuo sat there, as if he had heard nothing.

Chu Tiankuo spoke in a rather cold voice and it was as if a gust of cold wind had blown into their hearts. ”Someone, bring the minister of Xu away. Cure his problem of kowtowing in the prison.”

After he finished his sentence, Chu Tiankuo did not look at the minister of Xu who was being brought away. It was as if there was no one present at all.

The minister of Xu struggled with all his might and shouted, ”Your Majesty, it is for your own good! Please think again! That siren is endangering the country! That siren is endangering the country...” Then he was pulled out of the hall before he could finish his sentence.

At this time, those ministers kneeling on the ground were in a state of panic as they did not know how to deal with Chu Tiankuo's strong personality. Their only hope was to persuade Chu Tiankuo to come to a compromise, due to their large numbers.

But Chu Tiankuo's behavior frightened them so much that no one was willing to take the lead.

Chu Tiankuo stared at his ministers kneeling on the ground and found that they were all awed by his strong personality and dared not say anything.

Since this was a good chance for him to build his prestige, so Chu Tiankuo said to his ministers, ”Whoever refers to this matter again can keep the minister of Xu company.”

After hearing what Chu Tiankuo said, the ministers whispered to each other. Chu Tiankuo knew it was time.

So he waved his sleeves, left and said, ”That's it for today.”

At this moment, a servant from the Country of Nanmen arrived at the gate of the imperial palace.
