Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

General Wei's momentum, coupled with so many ministers behind him, caused the guards to move out of the way unconsciously.

Seeing them coming, Liu Yunxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.Then she stepped forward and saluted the old man in the middle.

"Old Prince, I finally invite you back to Beijing."

This is the old Prince Shunping, who is now 80 years old. He left the court for many years and traveled around. He came back once a few years ago. This time Liu Yunxiang sent someone to find him.

The old prince stroked his beard and said, "Has the situation changed again?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "The sky has not changed, it is still the sky of your Qin family."

With that said, Liu Yunxiang waved Qin Yan over to salute the old prince.

After Qin Yan saluted, he looked at the old man, but saw that he was wearing patched clothes. He looked less like a prince and more like an old man in the fields. His skin was tanned and shiny.

The old prince also looked at Qin Yan, and then said, "Where is that bastard Yan Mu?"

Liu Yunxiang said helplessly: "I'm still trapped in West Vietnam. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later. For now, you have to take charge of the overall situation for us juniors."

The old prince had a general understanding of the situation and looked back at the ministers behind him.

"The court meeting does not necessarily have to be in the main hall in front. This place is not bad. Let's hold the court here!"

Ministers, look at me and I look at you. I have never heard of a court meeting being held in a courtyard.

General Su said: "Today's meeting will be held here, which is great!"

As he spoke, General Su asked his men to bring up a thick stack of books, "I, Lingnan, have prepared this military registration book. From now on, I will obey the orders of the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

Since the First World War in Lingnan and the fourth prince succeeded to the throne, Dayong has been in a state of separation, especially Zhenbei and Lingnan, which were completely separated from the imperial court.

General Wei also handed over the military registration book, "It goes without saying that we in Zhenbei must follow the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

The military power of these two parties was the confidence of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. At the same time, Gao Wenchang brought officials forward to express his loyalty.

"Wherever the Queen Mother and the Emperor are, the court meeting will be held. Our allegiance is to the Emperor, not anyone else!"

Although they were ready to hold a court meeting in this courtyard, Lu Changan still came over after asking.He looked extremely unhappy. He didn't expect that Liu Yunxiang would come out like this. Zhenbei and Lingnan, that's all, would actually have such courtiers supporting her.

"I heard that the emperor is ill, and I came here to visit you." Lu Changan stepped forward and saluted.

Liu Yunxiang's lips curved, "Your Majesty is fine, I don't know who spread the rumors."

"Since the Emperor is not sick, please invite the Queen Mother and the Emperor to come to court."

"We might not make it."

"Why?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "These guards only listen to your instructions, King Suping, and refuse to let us out of this courtyard."

Lu Changan pursed his lips, "The Queen Mother is joking, you are the master of the harem, these palace guards will naturally obey you."

"Yeah, then it looks like we need to change a batch."

Lu Changan was silent. If there were another batch, he would lose control of the palace.

"It's time for a change. I don't have any eyesight at all. When I saw this king, I didn't even give him a courtesy." Old Prince Shunping said coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Changan turned around and looked again, only to find that the old Prince Shunping was also there, and his heart sank even more. It turned out that Liu Yunxiang had already started planning, and even the old Prince was found.

Wu Shi Jie's words were clearly aimed at him. Lu Changan suppressed his anger and turned around to salute the old prince.

"When you were young, you were weak, so I had some folk remedies. Your grandmother came to ask me for help, so I gave your grandmother a pair. She used this folk remedy to feed you. Although it couldn't cure you, at least it made you survive. Ten years old." "Grandma told me that the old prince was very kind to me, Lu Changan."

"You were so well-behaved back then. Why do you get more crooked as you get older?"

Lu Changan: "..."

The old prince knows this trick very well.

"Then let's go to court. Remember to prepare a seat with me. I am old and my legs and feet are not good." After saying that, the old prince turned and walked out.

Liu Yunxiang pulled Qin Yan to follow him, and at the same time ordered General Wei: "General, please select a group of people to replace all the disobedient guards in the palace."

"Yes, let's replace it with one of our own from Zhenbei."

Lu Changan stood at the end and watched these people go to the vestibule.

"Your Highness, why did you allow them to go to court?" Dan Qing was a little confused.

Lu Changan took a deep breath, "Today the emperor held court in the harem, and we were in the front court, wouldn't those people in the front court become treasonous ministers? Furthermore, the Zhenbei and Lingnan military registers were sent to the Queen Mother, and the military strength of these two parties It is too powerful, and our Xizhou Army and Central Plains Army cannot confront it head-on."

Especially during the Youzhou War, he also offended Xiyue, fearing that they would cause trouble for him when he was in a state of distress.

All things considered, he had to stabilize the situation now.

Danqing was silent for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness has been tolerant of the Queen Mother repeatedly, leading to this point."

"Indeed, it's time for me to fight back with real swords and guns."

Above the court, there were two factions, one represented by Lu Changan and the other represented by the old prince.Zhenbei and Lingnan sent military registration books directly to the emperor and expressed their loyalty.

Liu Yunxiang pointed out that the emperor was young and although he was assisted by Prince Suping, he was busy with official duties, so he appointed the old prince as regent to specifically assist the emperor.

Although Lu Changan's faction opposed it, the Queen Mother's decree and the support of the old prince's faction made their opposition useless.

After coming down from the court, Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief when the matter was settled.

"Old Prince, I asked you to come back this time because I have to leave Beijing and can only entrust Yan'er to you."

After the court, Liu Yunxiang invited the old prince to drink tea in the imperial garden.

The old prince tied his beard, thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you want to go to West Vietnam?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yan Mu is trapped in Xiyue, and I must rescue him. Only when he comes back and annihilates King Suping's party can the court and the world win real stability."

"Western Vietnam is a land of tigers and wolves."

"I must go."

The old prince sighed, "Da Rong has been experiencing constant internal and external strife over the past few years. They were all caused by the previous two emperors, but it is up to your family to deal with them. After all, I am a Qin family member, and I should do my part. Don't worry. , I will definitely protect the emperor and stabilize the current situation."

"If Lu Changan is angered this time, he will definitely fight back."

"I have traveled all over the world for so many years, but I still won't fall into the gutter like him."

Liu Yunxiang stood up and saluted the old prince, "Shengjing will leave it to the old prince."

With the old prince in charge, and General Wei and General Su temporarily staying in Shengjing, Lu Changan did not dare to openly start a war. She had to go to West Vietnam to rescue Yan Mu while the time was right.

On the Xiyue side, in the sky prison, King Liang came with a solemn look on his face.

He stood outside Yan Mu's cell with cold eyes, "Yan Mu, I wanted to finish the work at hand and have fun with you, but things have changed. I must kill you today!" (This chapter) over)
