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

Chapter 977
With this imperial edict, Yan Mu can deal with Lu Changan in the name of Qingjun, and can also order soldiers from all sides, which is more justified.

The emperor kept coughing and couldn't breathe.

Liu Yunxiang was really afraid that he would not be able to breathe, so he poured a glass of water and put it in.When she first saw his sick appearance, she couldn't help but gasp. The fourth prince, who used to be plump and plump, was now skinny and skinny. His eyes were sunken and his cheekbones were protruding. Especially at night, he looked like he had hit a ghost. .

No wonder Ye Yao screamed in fright, and she was also frightened.

Liu Yunxiang fed him a mouthful of water with a silver spoon. Seeing that he had recovered, he took two steps back.

"The edict is...in Wu Min's hand..."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Cabinet Bachelor Wu Min?"

"Yes……"

"He is in prison now."

The emperor coughed twice more: "So what I ask of you is... find a way to send this news to Zhenbei... let Yan Mu rescue Wu Min and get the edict..."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Aren't the emperor and Yan Mu mortal enemies? Why did the throne pass to him?"

"He is a descendant of the Qin family...ahem...and he will not...torture me like Lu Changan..."

Liu Yunxiang sneered. He still didn't want to die. He hoped that Yan Mu would get the imperial edict to succeed him and save his life.Indeed, as Qin Shengrui thought, Yan Mu really wouldn't harm him like Lu Changan did. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, he didn't disdain such methods.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yunxiang took an oil lamp from the table, took two steps forward, and illuminated his face with the oil lamp.

"Qin Shengrui, who do you think I am?"

Qin Shengrui looked at her, first puzzled as to why she asked like this, and then looked carefully, his eyes widened.

"You, you are...Liu Yunxiang!"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and said, "You're not too confused."

"Save me, you have to save me!" Qin Shengrui begged urgently as if grasping a life-saving straw, "I don't want this throne anymore, I just want to live well."

"I can save you, but you have to cooperate with me."

"what?"

"As a queen, I want to... supervise the country!"

After returning from Chengtian Palace, Liu Yunxiang and Concubine An transferred Ye Yao to her palace.

"Princess, do you really plan to stay in the palace?" Concubine An was a little worried.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Stay here temporarily, rescue Lord Wu Min and Wu, and get the imperial edict of passing the throne."

The jade seal is no longer in Qin Shengrui's hands, so the imperial edict passing the throne to Yan Mu is the only one.

"Lu Changan will be able to recognize you at just one glance!"

"So I need to rescue Wu Min as soon as possible before Lu Changan reacts."

The emperor is seriously ill, but the government cannot be neglected, so there will still be a court meeting every other day, presided over by Lu Changan, where everyone discusses state affairs, expresses their opinions, and then he makes the final decision.

The next day was the day of the court meeting. Since the emperor was not in court, the court meeting was held in the upper study room.

When Liu Yunxiang appeared wearing a veil, everyone was surprised, especially Lu Changan.He looked at her with a somewhat appraising look in his eyes. Liu Yunxiang remembered that he had just given Ye Yao the abortion medicine, so he immediately pretended to be weak.

"I'm here today..." After saying half a sentence, she was about to take a breath, "It turns out that I'm here to listen to everyone's discussion of government affairs based on the emperor's oral order, and then convey it to him."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were surprised again.

The clear meaning of these words is to let the queen supervise the country!

However, there are precedents. The emperor is seriously ill and the prince is young, so the queen is needed to take charge of the overall situation.It's just that the emperor has no interest in government affairs, and Lu Changan has always been in charge. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a puppet. Why did he become concerned when he got sick, and even asked the queen to supervise the country.

Could it be that there is a rift between the emperor and King Suping?
Everyone speculated one after another while carefully observing King Suping's expression.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this person will most likely sit on the throne in the future.

"King Suping, do you mind adding a chair to this palace?" Liu Yunxiang looked at King Suping and said.

He was looking at her. Liu Yunxiang was nervous, but his face looked calm.

"Why is the queen wearing a veil?" he asked.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I look sick, I'm afraid I'll scare you all."

"Madam is sick?"

"It was the nights of the past two days. For some reason, I was in so much pain that I almost went to see the Lord of Hell. Doesn't King Suping know?"

"How does this king know?"

"It turned out that I drank the medicine you gave me."

King Suping's eyes darkened, and then he asked the eunuch to bring another chair.

Xue Hesong, the second son of Duke Yang's Mansion, noticed King Suping's displeasure and stepped forward and said, "My Lady, you said you had received the emperor's oral order, but the emperor is seriously ill, so I'm afraid he won't be able to issue the order, right?"

As soon as these words came out, others also showed doubts.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You might as well go to Chengtian Palace and ask?"

"This..." Everyone hesitated.

"Or take a look at this token in my hand?" As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang took out a token made of red gold from his sleeve pocket. This is a token that symbolizes imperial power and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Seeing this brand, everyone naturally has no doubts.

At this time, the chair was moved, but I didn’t know where to put it.

"Leave it to my king's side."

Lu Changan pointed to his left side, where he sat in the most honorable seat, and his left side was even more honorable.

Liu Yunxiang generously walked over and sat down, allowing everyone to continue the discussion.

She could feel Lu Changan's eyes sizing her up from time to time, and she imitated Ye Yao's demeanor, and she should be somewhat similar. After sizing him up a few times, he withdrew his gaze.

At this time, we are discussing the attack on Zhenbei. Some ministers hope to recruit the king of Zhenbei to surrender. Some ministers think this is wishful thinking and we should attack fiercely. Some ministers say that we must first convict Yan Mu of treason and then carry out the purge. In short, everyone is discussing They were all arguing and their faces were red.

"Our purpose of setting up troops outside Youzhou City was to wipe out the remnants of King Anqing. We sent troops to the north of the town to confront the imperial army. Our intention was evil. The imperial court was just counterattacking." Lu Changan said at this time.

As soon as he said this, half of the ministers nodded in agreement.

"They provoked them first, so we can't sit back and wait for death. We must take the initiative." Xue Hesong said.

"Yes, after all, Youzhou is adjacent to the north of the town. If we are not prepared, we will suffer a loss." Another minister said.

Lu Changan added: "The battle has not started yet, but sufficient food and salary preparations must be prepared. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is on leave due to illness, so the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be responsible for the food and salary matter."

The Minister of Household Affairs was from Lu Changan. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely prepare enough food and salary."

Because half of these ministers are from Lu Changan, and the rest are either from Lu Changan who dare not have any objections, or they are so weak that even if they raise it, it will be useless.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he said: "I heard that there are still [-] Xiyue troops in Youzhou, but the suppression of Zhenbei is our internal affairs in Da Rong. What's wrong with Guanxi Yue? It's easy to invite gods, but it's hard to send them away. Who can guarantee that they won’t have other agendas?”

Seeing that the ministers fell silent, it was obvious that this question was too acute.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, King Suping is the son-in-law of Xiyue, so he is half Xiyue!"
