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

Chapter 978 Opposition
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate silence.The ministers looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't understand why the queen, who had always been on good terms with Lu Changan, suddenly became angry.

Lu Changan lowered his eyes and felt a little cold all over.

"King Suping, can you guarantee that the [-] troops of Western Vietnam are in our territory of Darong and they have no other intentions?" Liu Yunxiang asked again.

Lu Changan turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes darkened, "Xiyue and I, Darong, are allies. We have no intention of helping the imperial court to suppress Zhenbei this time."

"Hey, the Western Vietnamese are pretty good."

What Lu Changan was about to say, Liu Yunxiang interrupted him, "It means that King Suping can guarantee it, right?"

Lu Changan looked at the courtiers below. It was obvious that Liu Yunxiang's question had touched their hearts, and they were also waiting for the answer.These courtiers can follow him and share wealth, but they do not want to share destruction.

"Of course I can guarantee that," he said.

"The ministers must have heard King Suping's promise. If there is any change in Xiyue, and I take charge of the government on behalf of the emperor, I will definitely punish King Suping severely. Then I will not think about my affair with him." Liu Yunxiang said coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Changan couldn't help but look at Liu Yunxiang again.

At this time, Xue Hesong stepped forward and mentioned that Xiao Meng's wife and son escaped from Shengjing overnight, fearing that Xiao Meng would surrender to Yan Mu.

Lu Changan took a deep breath and said: "This is the critical moment of the battle between the imperial court and Zhenbei. There is no room for any mistakes. We will immediately issue an order to deprive Chaumont of his military power and escort him back to Beijing."

Hearing Lu Changan's words, the ministers below nodded, but Liu Yunxiang chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Lu Changan asked with raised eyebrows.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said: "One word of 'suspiciousness' convicted an important minister in the court. It turns out that this is how King Suping handles government affairs. Isn't it child's play?"

"Xiao Meng has a very close relationship with King Zhenbei. At this time, Mrs. Xiao Meng and her son escaped from Shengjing. Isn't this reasonable to suspect?" Lu Changan narrowed his eyes.

"Is there a possibility that Mrs. Xiao and Young Master Xiao were imprisoned for no reason, and that's how they escaped?"

"This king also wants Xiao Meng to stand firmly on the court's side."

"It backfired?"

"..."

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, "If you want all the ministers to return to the court, you should use sincerity instead of these despicable methods. King Suping, you have too many calculations. You have probably forgotten how to treat others sincerely."

"Miss."

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand to stop Lu Changan from continuing and said, "I feel that I cannot make this decree. In fact, it is already too late. Why bother to talk to others anymore, right?"

Lu Changan's face darkened. As the Queen said, it was indeed too late if he couldn't make this decree.And the reason why he wanted to do this was to beat Xiao Meng into a rebel so that he could be eliminated together.

There was silence in the study room for a long time. Lu Changan had a cold face and the ministers below lowered their heads. They stopped talking.

Liu Yunxiang coughed lightly, "It seems that everyone has nothing to say, so I will mention one thing."

She said this, but no one answered her.

Liu Yunxiang continued: "How is the investigation of the cabinet scholar Wu Min case going now?"

Hearing this, the ministers all looked troubled and didn't understand why the queen suddenly mentioned him.

Asking how the case was investigated was equivalent to naming Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, so the two ministers stepped forward and said that the case had been investigated, Wu Min had also pleaded guilty, and would be sentenced soon.

"Are there any doubts about this case?"

The minister of Dali Temple said: "There is no doubt about it."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "But I think this case is quite strange." "What does your Majesty mean?"

"Grandmaster Wu was drunk and raped his maidservant, so he killed her." After saying this, Liu Yunxiang looked at the ministers below, "You are colleagues with Grandmaster Wu, and you know his character to some extent. He didn't come here. He is addicted to alcohol, and he has a deep relationship with Mrs. Wu. There are no concubines or common rooms in the house, so how can he rape a maid?"

At this time, a member of the Hanlin Cabinet stood up and said, "What the Queen said is absolutely true. I also feel that there are still doubts about the case of Bachelor Wu."

"Oh? You said."

Na Hanlin hesitated and glanced at Lu Changan first, then lowered his head and struggled for a moment, then said: "That day, Xianguan and Grand Scholar Wu came out of the government office together. Because in the past, Grand Scholar Wu always left very late, but that day it was very early. , the lower official made a joke and asked him if he had been scolded by his wife. If he didn't go home earlier, there would be no dinner for him at home. University Scholar Wu smiled bitterly and said that he really made his wife angry. It turned out to be... ...It turned out that Mr. Xue sent a beautiful maid to his house. Mrs. Wu thought that Mr. Wu was messing around outside, so she accepted her in anger. Mr. Wu came home earlier to deal with this matter. He planned to send the beautiful maid to his house. The maid will be sent back to Yangguo Duke's mansion."

Having said this, Hanlin glanced at Xue Hesong again, "It doesn't make sense at all that he is going to be sent back and then he was drunk and raped."

After hearing this, Xue Hesong sneered, "I can't believe that Grand Scholar Wu had already coveted the beautiful maid. He had to send her back out of fear of guilt, but he was unwilling to do so, so he used the excuse of being drunk to humiliate the beautiful maid."

"That's what you said." Liu Yunxiang sneered, "Isn't it because you gave Master Wu this maid to serve Master Wu?"

"This……"

"My original purpose is to serve Mr. Wu, so why should I insult him?"

Xue Hesong was caught talking and could not refute for a while.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and sneered, "Since there are still so many doubts about this case, let's send it back to the Criminal Department for retrial."

When she said this, no one responded. They were all obviously waiting for Lu Changan to nod.

Lu Changan lowered his eyes and said nothing since just now.

"I supervise the government affairs on behalf of the emperor. I think the emperor has been ill for too long, and everyone has forgotten who the loyal minister is, right?"

As soon as she said this, the ministers below all bowed their heads.

"King Suping, what do you think?"

Lu Changan slowly raised his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, and then smiled, "We ministers are naturally loyal to the Emperor."

"The emperor has given this palace such rights. Do the ministers have no objections?"

The people below still didn't speak.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Then there is no objection."

After saying that, she stood up and said, "In that case, let's retry Wu Ming's case. The Criminal Department is responsible. It is necessary to find out the truth so that the deceased can be given an explanation."

After the court meeting dispersed, Liu Yunxiang walked to the harem.

She ordered a retrial of Wu Min's case, but she also knew that those below would not listen to her, so her purpose was actually to delay the case and save Wu Min's life.

Also, she had to find a way to go to Tianlao to see Wu Min and get the imperial edict.

When she was planning, someone called her from behind.

"Yunxiang, it turns out you are in the palace."

This sound is... Lu Changan!

He knew it was her!
