I, make my own

Chapter 31 Downfall, Abandoned Son

At this moment, many officials are full of confusion, unable to understand the situation in front of them.

In their minds, the two factions fought each other last night, and it was impossible to bypass the two in the harem.

No matter who wins in the end, there will always be one today.

Or, neither of the two parties can do anything to the other, so they should appear together.

But what happened to what you saw in front of you?

Why didn't any of those two show up, and why their seats were completely dismantled?
Looking at the indifferent young figure sitting on the dragon chair with a beaded crown, a thought popped up involuntarily.

Could it be that in the battle in the palace last night, the final winner was this Majesty who has a low sense of presence?
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible.

After all, during the last court meeting, this His Majesty suddenly became uncharacteristically uncharacteristically, showing his true colors for the first time, and even won the appointment of the Commander of the Imperial Army.

With Cheng Long, the former commander of the Forbidden Army, it is not too strange for the emperor to regain control of the Forbidden Army.

However, limited by the previous stereotypes, they subconsciously ignored the emperor's side.

Thinking of the appearance of those old ministers, Baiguan's heart trembled even more.

Could it be that the emperor wants to take the opportunity to be in charge of the government and seize the right to speak in Chao Gang?

Surprised, everyone stared at Zhou Xin, and no one stood up first to act.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhou Xin spit out a word quietly.

"Xuan."

"only!"

On the edge of the imperial steps, Leng Yun bowed his head respectfully, and then spread out the imperial decree in his hands.

"God Bless God Zhou, Emperor Wude, issued an imperial edict:
Here is Lin Menghan, the concubine of Qionghan, who trampled on the imperial power, bullied the law, meddled in the court, and pretended to be an imperial decree. According to the crime, she should be executed!However, Nian Qi was the late emperor's concubine, so she was exonerated from the death penalty, and her cultivation was changed to abolished, and she was placed in the cold palace, never to be seen in the world! "

Following Leng Yun's last word, there was an uproar in the hall, everyone's eyes widened, and their faces were full of incredible expressions.

The officials of the prime minister's line were even more shocked and angry. Under anxiety, they all stared at Lin Zhengqing, wanting to see the prime minister furiously shouting at the emperor.

However, to everyone's surprise, facing such an imperial decree, Lin Zhengqing just shivered, and then lowered his head, showing no intention of coming forward at all.

In fact, Lin Zhengqing also had hardships that could not be explained, and all of them were beyond the comprehension of others.

He knew very well that the emperor didn't play chess to death, because the opponent could add a "cooperate with his son to conspire against and usurp the throne" at any time.

As long as this one comes out, Lin Menghan, who was thrown into the cold palace, can be killed at any time, and the world can't say anything.

As for why the emperor did not mention this, there are only two possibilities.

First, the emperor didn't want to completely turn against him, and wanted to win his support.

Second, the emperor doesn't want to completely turn against him for the time being, but wants to settle the accounts with him when the time is right!

The most important thing is that he couldn't figure out the hole card in the emperor's hand. If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare to turn his face.

After all, although he has a good number of court officials and many former students, his military power is very small.

In addition, some of his core direct lineage forces were also bloodbathed last night, and no traces could be found.

He suspected that this was exactly the handwriting of the emperor.

Through this, and the fact that the imperial army was quickly controlled by the emperor, and the outcome of the conflict between the two major factions last night, he came up with an astonishing conjecture.

The change last night may have been planned by the emperor!

If so, then this His Majesty's mind and hidden power are quite terrifying.

And this is exactly the reason why he kneels and worships in a proper manner, and secretly hints to the Three Kings, and wants to join forces with the latter.

Seeing that Lin Zhengqing did not make any movement, Baiguan's heart was shocked.

They were not stupid, and they also thought of a lot through Lin Zhengqing's reaction.

One must know that Concubine Qionghan is the prime minister's biological daughter, and she is also the prime minister's greatest reliance.

Now, the daughter has been thrown into the cold palace, her support is gone, and the prime minister is pretending to be dumb like a stranger. Doesn't this mean that even the prime minister dare not confront His Majesty head-on?
Leng Yun paused for a moment, and continued to read when he saw that no one was clamoring.

"There is a fox girl Hu Dai'er who entered the palace disguised as Hu Run'er, the daughter of the great general Hu Zhizhuo, and gained the trust of the former emperor by means of evil spirits, and was granted the title of empress. Persecuting loyal ministers, and single-handedly contributing to the [-] tragedy due to power struggles, etc., these crimes are too numerous to write down! The death penalty is specified, and he will be executed at noon today!"

Following the announcement of this decree, all the officials suddenly lost their voices in shock.

"The queen mother is actually a demon?!"

"how can that be!"

"Impossible! How can a mere fox girl be able to hide from the court's many detection methods and become the queen mother?"

"Shouldn't this be..."

All the officials whispered and discussed, they couldn't believe the Queen Mother's identity as a monster.

"quiet!"

Leng Yun coughed lightly, suppressing the noisy noise.

"Whether it's true or not, you adults will see it at the scene during the execution."

Hearing that they were able to observe the punishment, Baiguan became a little suspicious.

Could it be that the queen mother is really disguised by a demon?
At this time, many officials looked at Lu Fang and He Yan.

The two of them are the only remaining pillars of the Empress Dowager's family. At this time, they have no reason not to stand up.

However, the result once again disappointed and confused Baiguan.

Because although the two people looked ugly, they just gritted their teeth and never stood up.

The reason for this is that they received something before entering the temple...

Up to now, although they still can't figure out the reason, everyone realizes that, God, it has really changed!
In the dead silence, Zhou Xin finally spoke.

"Where is the head of Jing'an Division?"

"Chen is here!"

Zhao Dongchang was shocked and got up quickly.

What he saw and heard today was really weird, and this weirdness gave him an extremely bad premonition.

"Zhao Aiqing, can you tell me what happened in the imperial capital last night?"

"This this……"

Zhao Dongchang faltered, not knowing how to respond for a while.

"Don't be afraid, speak slowly."

Zhou Xin smiled slightly, quite amiably.

"Return, return to Your Majesty, Concubine Wei disappeared last night. King Wei thought it was done by the people of the General's Mansion, so he gathered people to kill the General's Mansion, which caused chaos in the imperial capital..."

"Oh? What kind of chaos did it cause? How many people died in the chaos last night? How many court officials died?"

Zhou Xin let out a sigh and asked curiously.

"This, I don't know very well yet."

Zhao Dongchang showed embarrassment and replied in embarrassment.

"Not sure?"

Zhou Xin's tone suddenly became serious, and then his smile faded away, his eyes flickering coldly.

"Such a big event has happened in the imperial capital, you don't know this, and you don't know that, what use do I want you, the chief of the Jing'an Department?!"

Zhao Dongchang's expression changed, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! Time is too tight, and I have no time to collect it. I hope Your Majesty will give me some time..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Xin's angry shout.

"That's all, but the emperor's capital was almost turned upside down, and even the great general died! You, the head of the Jing'an Department, have always kept me in the dark, and you have never said a word. In your eyes But there is still me, the emperor?!"

Zhao Dongchang trembled suddenly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Before the prisoner was robbed, I had already given you a chance. But now, how do you make me trust you?"

Hearing Zhou Xin's angry and helpless tone, Zhao Dongchang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly glanced at Xin Wang Zhou Nuo.

Zhou Nuo's hands under the sleeves were tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, his eyes were constantly changing, and he was struggling in his heart.

Zhao Dongchang is the most useful chess piece of their Three Kings family. With Zhao Dongchang, their eyes and ears can be called psychics.

If Zhao Dongchang was gone, not only would they lose a helping hand, but they would also be half-blind and half-deaf. There is no doubt that the loss would be huge.

However, the silence of the prime minister, Lu Fang, and He Yan made him fearful and made him unable to guess the power of the emperor.

He didn't know whether he would become the first bird under the emperor's hunting bow if he saved Zhao Dongchang to death.

Just as Zhou Nuo was struggling secretly, Zhou Xin's voice sounded slowly.

"Xin Wang, if I remember correctly, this Zhao Aiqing should belong to you, right? You don't have anything to say?"

Hearing this, Zhou Nuo was stunned at first, and then felt a chill rushing directly from the soles of his feet, which made him tremble with fright.

Emperor, what does this mean?Could it be that he wants to set himself a trap and get rid of himself first? !

After this idea came up, Zhou Nuo broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground in fear.

"Your Majesty! You must not listen to the slander of the treacherous villain! The minister and Master Zhao are ministers in the same palace, and they are all ministers of His Majesty. If you talk about personal friendship, I do have a very close friendship with Master Zhao, but a personal friendship is a personal friendship. In the court, we are all ministers under His Majesty's seat!"

"Your Majesty! Your will is everything. I have nothing to say, and I am not qualified to say anything."

"Hehe, why should King Xin panic, I just said it casually."

Zhou Xin smiled, glanced at Zhao Dongchang, who was full of despair, and then looked at a middle-aged man in the official uniform of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Bai Shaoqing, tell me how to punish him for neglecting his duties and neglecting his superiors?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, he should be stripped of his official status, sentenced to [-] to [-] grade-A floggings, and sent to prison for ten to fifty years!"

Bai Wenbin responded solemnly, respectfully.

Zhou Xin nodded slightly, and said softly:

"If that's the case, then Zhao Dongchang will be removed from the post of director of Jing'an Department, and the specific punishment will be judged by Dali Temple."

"According to the order!"

After Zhao Dongchang was completely desperate, he didn't cry hysterically or beg for mercy, but just looked numbly at Zhou Nuo and the three princes, and then let the guards put on the shackles and drag them out of the palace with a dead face.

Seeing Zhao Dongchang being dragged out of the Palace of Political Affairs like a dead fish, the officials of the Three Kings Department couldn't help but feel sad, and many other officials also felt sympathy.

But they know that today's drama is far from over...
