How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 284

[284.Chapter 284: Chief of the Town and Fu Department]

“Hmph!”

In a palace, a burly middle-aged man nine feet tall put down the secret report in his hand, his expression suddenly cold.

This man was wearing a green dragon robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight face with Chinese characters. He exuded a graceful and noble temperament, and was majestic in his movements.

On his lower left hand, sitting a thin old man in black clothes, with sharp eyebrows on his temples.

“It’s just some rumors, why be nervous.”

The thin old man looked calm and put down the teacup in his hand.

“What I’m afraid of is that the rumors will come true!”

The burly middle-aged man’s eyes flashed sharply and he looked at him with authority: “My father allowed Han Zhong and Bai Yuzhu to be arrogant for so long, so it turned out that he was just waiting for Lu Qian to come back! I said that Why does Lu Qian refuse to see me and be so arrogant? It turns out he has this to rely on! “

He is His Highness the Fifth Prince, Zhao Lin.

That thin old man was Longling You, the great elder of the Xuanhuang Sect’s Huixue lineage, known as the ‘Sword Immortal of Everlasting Hate’.

In addition, his identity is the head of the country, and Zhao Lin is also his grandson.

“Your Highness, the ancestor of the Yan family wishes to see you.”

At this time, a servant came to report.

“Please come in quickly.”

Zhao Lin, Dama Jindao, sat with his brows slightly furrowed.

Soon, an old man in yellow clothes with a mole on the corner of his eyebrow walked into the hall quickly and handed over to Zhao Lin and Longling Yougong.

This person is Yan Tayue, the ancestor of the millennium-old Fengluozhou family. He is currently serving as a cabinet scholar in the imperial court and is also one of the imperial tutors.

“Master, please sit down.”

Zhao Lin returned the favor and handed over the yellow paper of the secret report beside the table: “Old Ancestor, please take a look. This is the latest news collected by the Zhenfu Division’s Fengwen Officer.”

Yan Tayue took it and looked at it solemnly. He nodded and said, “Your Highness, I’m here just for this matter.”

“What do you think, Master?”

Zhao Lin raised his hand and asked.

The Yan Tayue in front of him had been an official in the capital for many years and was a good hand in politics. Only with his help and guidance could Zhao Lin be qualified to compete for the throne.

Yan Tayue looked very solemn: “Your Highness, this matter is very important! You must not neglect it! That brave king is now traveling in the prince’s chariot and swaggering through the city. Either he really doesn’t understand, or… he has ulterior motives!”

“I don’t think so !

“

Long Lingyou said calmly: “The Xuanhuang Seven Lines account for 90% of the power in the court. Even if Lu Gan has Su Qiuyu, the Zhenfu Division, and the Fang family to help him, he can’t compare to any of them. No matter how worried he is, he can’t compare. “No matter what, it’s just a mediocre person’s trouble.”

“Master Guozhang is right.”

Yan Tayue cupped his hands and said with a frown, “It’s just that if the Xuanhuang lineage joins Lu Qian’s family, I’m afraid the situation will be over.

“

Decided!”

“No.”

Long Lingyou said firmly: “Your Majesty once said that the Xuanhuang lineage is the foundation of the Xuanhuang Sect and will not get involved in court matters.”

, But His Majesty’s thoughts are unpredictable, who can guess?” Yan Tayue shook his head and sighed.

After the words fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Zhao Linhu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, “Is there any explanation from the Zongren Mansion? Lu Qian traveled in the prince’s chariot without permission, which is already a transgression!”

“Your Highness, this news will not reach the Zongren Mansion tomorrow. “

Yan Tayue frowned.

“That’s it… It seems that there will be an open and secret fight in the court tomorrow. At that time, you can clearly see how much energy Lu Gan has!”

Zhao Lin snorted coldly.

This makes sense!

When visiting Longling, Yan Tayue nodded, agreeing very much.

If Lu Gan was punished, then he was most likely not the prince. If the imperial order was passed down, the clan mansion would still remain silent.

That makes no sense!

Suddenly, Long Lingyou frowned: “Those two old guys came here so late?”

The voice fell, and several rays of light flashed past in the sky and fell outside the hall.

“Fifth brother, why haven’t you slept for so long?”

A gentle and elegant young man in white clothes with a graceful demeanor walked in while waving a white jade fan. Beside him, there were two energetic old men in golden clothes.

“I’ve met Fifth Brother!”

Behind the three of them, a young man in yellow robe walked in with a slightly cold expression and said in salute with his hands raised. Next to him was a woman in plain clothes with a mean look on her face.

“Eighth brother, eleventh brother, why are you so free and come to visit me in the middle of the night? Sit down.”

A strange color flashed in Zhao Lin’s eyes, and he waved lightly.

It turned out that the young man in white was the eighth prince, and the young man in yellow robe was the eleventh prince. They were respectively from the Chaoyang and Zixia lineages among the seven bloodlines.

“Haha, Taifu is here, and Elder Long is also here, what a coincidence.”

As soon as the eighth prince sat down and walked towards Longling, Yan Tayue cupped his hands, but his expression was a little artificial.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eleventh Prince next to him said coldly: “Brother Eighth Emperor, Brother Fiveth Emperor doesn’t like talking nonsense, so just say it.”

“Tsk, tsk, it’s rare to get together.”

The Eighth Prince shook his jade fan, sighed, turned around and said with a smile: “Brother, I must have heard the rumors circulating in the capital, what do you think?”

It turned out to be because of this matter .

Come!

Zhao Lin said leisurely: “It’s just some rumors, not worth paying attention to.”

“Really? Elder Long and Taifu Yan are here, are they accompanying the emperor to admire the moon?”

The eighth prince smiled: “Forget it, you I know it all. This Lu Gan is very powerful. I want to ask the emperor to deal with him together. The eleventh brother has already agreed.”

Zhao Lin frowned immediately: “Father has made it clear

.

He said, we can openly form alliances and compete for power, but we must not engage in internal conflicts or go too far. If we join forces, won’t we be violating our father’s taboo?” “

Brother

, you are too worried!”

He shook his head and said: “We just want to ask him to return to Qingyang County and be his fourth-grade Zhenfusi Chief Catcher. We have no other ideas.”

The Eleventh Prince on the side said coldly: “That’s right. That Lu Ganjiang Qing Yang County is well managed and prosperous. Qingyang County needs him very much!”

After hearing this, Zhao Lin thought for a while and nodded: “Okay, then go back to where you came from

.

!”

“That’s great!” The Eighth Prince laughed.

The eleventh prince was also determined.

The three of them joined forces, plus the seventeenth prince, and the twenty-third prince, and they were unanimously xenophobic. Wouldn’t that Lu Gan just get out of here?

At the same time, Prince Yin’s Mansion.

Zhao Yin was sitting behind the desk. There was a stack of white paper on the desk. All the rumors about Lu Qian’s identity were written on it. The writing was so vivid that it made people want to read it.

“What did the Queen Mother say?”

Zhao Yin frowned slightly and turned around to ask.

His biological mother is Concubine Chan, the only concubine in the harem who is a Dharma minister, and is now the lord of the West Palace.

This news may have already reached the harem.

The old nun standing next to her bowed and said, “Your Majesty, please reassure me. During that time, Your Majesty was in the palace and never went out. It is impossible for there to be any illegitimate children wandering outside.”

Zhao Yin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart .

, the light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed: “There should be a good show in the court tomorrow.”

The next day.

In the Qianyuan Hall, all civil and military officials gathered together.

All the princes were present.

Zhao Mingyue also slipped in quietly.

The guards naturally saw her, but did not stop her and allowed her to enter and leave the hall as she pleased.

After Su Qiuyu led the ministers to bow to the empty dragon chair, the morning court officially began.

Of course, I won’t move until the enemy doesn’t move.

At the beginning, the civil and military ministers were conducting daily political discussions, making policies, and dealing with problems that occurred in the seventy-three Daxuan states as usual.

Su Qiuyu lived up to her reputation as the prime minister who had helped Dayou hold off for fifty years. She could provide insightful insights into any political issues and the solutions were quite reasonable.

Everything is handled quickly.

But after all, it is a huge dynasty with tens of billions of people, and many chores have to be dealt with until noon.

Zhao Mingyue fell asleep after listening to it.

Finally, Su Qiuyu said calmly: “Today’s government affairs are pretty much handled. Thank you for your hard work to all colleagues and princes. If nothing happens, you should retreat from the court.”

“Wait a minute.”

Yan Tayue, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly came out and shouted. road.

Su Qiuyu looked back at him and asked calmly: “Is there anything else, Master Yan?”

Yan Tayue nodded and solemnly said: “There are rumors in the capital that the brave king is your majesty’s illegitimate son, which has led to speculation among the people. Rumors are flying everywhere, and some people take the opportunity to fabricate rumors to maliciously slander His Majesty and damage His reputation.

“It’s better to stop the rumors. What do you think?” Su Qiuyu asked calmly.

“Please ask the brave king to return to Qingyang County!”

Taifu Yan said firmly.

As soon as these words came out, many civil servants and military officials immediately echoed.

“I’m afraid not.”

At this moment, Su Qiuyu uttered four words in a clear voice, overpowering all the voices: “Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict, allowing King Shen Yong to temporarily serve as the head of the Soothing Department to thoroughly investigate Yuan Jiu’s injury and my The girl’s disappearance and the fire in Tailing Palace must give way! The clan’s mansion is no exception.”

“At the same time, the supervisors will be killed first and then reported!”

The voice fell slowly, and the whole hall was silent.
