The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 69 Why Convince 2
Bifeng Pavilion is on the top of Xiaonan Mountain.

Going up the mountain from the trail, the sun shines on the road through the gaps in the leaves. The autumn sun is like gold, and the roadside is mottled with weeds.

The wind was gentle and the insects were chirping, and it was extremely quiet. Zhe Sang seemed to hear his own heartbeat, beat by beat.

May this trip go well, and must win.

This is her first move, which is crucial.

So what about the Nine-Five Supreme?What she wants is not only to get out of trouble, but also to make Fu Rong pay the due price for his actions.

Zhe Sang didn't wait long before he saw and heard the movement of someone coming.

Gu Heng did not bring extra people with him. After all, where the identity is, more people bring more dangers.

When he got closer, the smile on Zhou Siyang's face immediately froze, and he looked at Prime Minister Gu next to him in confusion.

Is this the noble person that the Prime Minister invited him to meet?
Although the woman in front of her has a beautiful appearance and calm eyebrows, she gives people a sense of safety and reliability.

Zhou Siyang had no intention of specializing in officialdom and didn't know much about the people in the royal family, but he had some impressions of the people in front of him.

Who is this if not the queen?But why does the queen want to see herself?
No matter what the queen's reasons were, Zhou Siyang didn't think it was a good thing.

The indifference and alertness on Zhou Siyang's face was not concealed at all. Zhe Sang noticed it, showed a friendly smile, and came out to welcome him.

She clasped her hands and bowed slightly to Zhou Siyang in advance to show that she valued the closeness.

However, Gu Heng took the first step and bent down, kneeling down in a surrendering posture.

He said, "I pay my respects to the Queen."

Zhou Siyang knelt down immediately.

Zhe Sang paused slightly and immediately understood Gu Heng's intention.

She is a queen and a king, they are ministers, and they should submit as they should.

Gu Heng was establishing authority for her, and he was also telling Zhou Siyang in disguise that she was the king and he should obey her.

Half of the people in the Jin Dynasty were named Gu, but on the surface the Gu family still regarded themselves as ministers.If the Gu family is determined, even if they cannot ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, they can still break the mountains and rivers. Without Gu Heng's secret support, Fu Rong will definitely not be able to become the emperor.

Therefore, even though he was a minister, the emperor gave Gu Heng extremely high treatment, including being exempted from kneeling.

The emperor's family was worshiped by thousands of subjects, except for the prime minister.

In Zhe Sang's memory, the only time Prime Minister Gu knelt down was during the ceremony for the conferment of the Queen. He stood at the head of the hundred officials, under the high platform, to show his surrender.

Zhe Sang never thought that Gu Heng would kneel down to him again. After all, he had never done this before the imperial court or the emperor.

"No courtesy." Zhe Sang stretched out his hand to support her.

Gu Heng then stood up and stood aside with his eyes lowered.

"Sit in the pavilion." Zhe Sang also followed Gu Heng's wishes and was a little polite.

Zhou Siyang's expression changed, and he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw this posture.

Although the queen asked him to sit down, he didn't dare and just stood tensed aside.

Zhe Sang smiled and said, "Vice General Zhou, please take a seat. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so restrained."

Zhou Siyang was a little embarrassed. According to his rank, he had no right to sit in front of the Queen. However, the Queen asked him to sit down and he didn't sit down, which seemed to be considered disobedience.

He was focused on specializing in martial arts. Although his master, General Hu, had mentioned these things, he had forgotten all about them. So Zhou Siyang subconsciously looked at Gu Heng. When he saw him nodding slightly, Zhou Siyang sat down on the farthest stool.

It was obvious that Zhou Siyang was extremely respectful and frightened towards Gu Heng.

This is a good thing for the king.

The ministers first respect and fear you, and the monarch's further goodwill is a gift. As a minister, you are grateful and flattered, and you will naturally do your best in doing things.

Without this level of respect, I am afraid that the monarch's kindness will be interpreted as flattery, which will be the biggest drawback of the pro-people approach.
