Through the book: I am the hero and a dog

Well, having said that.

In the past year, He Zongming seldom spoke in the hall, and those who spoke were usually his party members who had been signaled by him.But today, He Zongming was one of the few who spoke in person.

At this time, Yan Lingyun, as an emperor, must not lose his momentum!

"Being rude to my beloved concubine in public, can't I punish him?" Yan Lingyun sneered, "Besides, who am I going to kill and what is the matter?"

"As a subject of His Majesty, the old minister thinks he is qualified to advise the emperor." He Zongming bowed his head and buried his head so low that people could not see his face clearly.

"My subject... Are you really my subject, not someone else's?" Yan Lingyun raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile.

He Zongming obviously paused.

Then, his waist seemed to bend even more: "The veteran is loyal to His Majesty, if His Majesty does not trust the veteran, the veteran will voluntarily resign and return home!"

Yan Lingyun just smiled and said nothing.

He Zongming maintained the posture of bowing his waist, and after a while his whole body shook.After all, I was too old to bear such a posture.

Yan Lingyun didn't care, and squeezed Zhou Xuan's hand from time to time, stroking his back, making Zhou Xuan, who was sitting upright, so awkward that he wanted to jump up and run away.

However, how could he not give Yan Lingyun face at this time, so he could only pretend that he didn't feel the other party's movements.

Finally, He Zongming couldn't bear it anymore.

He bowed his head and said, "Old minister... please resign!"

"Sure!" Yan Lingyun waved his hand.

In an instant, He Zongming seemed to have aged ten years, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and slowly turned and left.

His steps were slow and difficult, as if he had no strength.

As soon as he walked a few steps, five or six ministers came out, raised the elephant wat in their hands and said loudly: "Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please take it back!" Most of the ministers present bowed together.

He Zongming's footsteps stopped, and he sighed without a trace in his heart.

Yan Lingyun is a person who prefers softness to hard work. What these ministers did will only make Yan Lingyun more determined to get rid of the prime minister and his party.

He Zongming knew that unless he rebelled, he would never be able to turn over, and he might even be killed by Yan Lingyun.

Sure enough, Yan Lingyun said: "I never thought that so many people would be willing to intercede for the prime minister. It seems that the prime minister is very popular. Oh, I was wrong, it was the former prime minister." Yan Lingyun's lips curled into a sneer, His eyes were full of sarcasm.Suddenly, he shouted, "Where are the soldiers?"

"Boom!" In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers poured into the hall.

Yan Lingyun waved his hand: "Drag them all, and send the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate them. I want to see how good their relationship with the prime minister is!" Yan Lingyun squinted at He Zongming, and said, "I don't know if the prime minister will be willing." Save them!"

He Zongming turned his back to Yan Lingyun, trembling with anger.However, he finally left resolutely and walked out of this cold hall.

Immediately afterwards, those ministers were dragged out like dead dogs.

There was silence in the hall.

Seeing this, Yan Lingyun glanced lightly at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

No one spoke.

Yan Lingyun waited for a while, and then said: "Since there is nothing wrong, then retreat!" Then he stood up with his arms around Zhou Xuan, and said softly: "Xuan Xuan, let's go."

"Hmm..." Zhou Xuan felt that Yan Lingyun was too extreme towards these courtiers.

It is absolutely useless to push these people to the opposite of yourself.

So after returning to the bedroom, Zhou Xuan tried to persuade Yan Lingyun. However, although Yan Lingyun kept nodding on his face, Zhou Xuan could see that he was still perfunctory in his heart.

Zhou Xuan was also helpless.

That night.

After the curfew, the streets were silent.

However, the mansion of the former prime minister He Zongming was brightly lit.

At this time, many ministers gathered in the living room, whispering in small groups with heavy faces.

At this moment, He Zongming appeared.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted He Zongming, and then one of them came out and said, "Master Prime Minister, you can't leave! The country of Yan needs a pillar of the country like you!"

He Zongming sighed, and put on airs: "Your Majesty has dismissed this old man, and this old man has already planned to live in seclusion in the countryside, without asking about the government..."

"This... Prime Minister! Are you really willing?!"

He Zongming kept silent.

At this time, another person suddenly said: "Yan Lingyun is fatuous and cruel, he is close to the villain and far away from virtuous ministers, in my opinion, it is better to establish another new king..."

"Huh!" He Zongming suddenly raised his head and yelled, "How can you say such things?"

Everyone fell silent.

However, He Zongming suddenly said calmly: "Even if we want to support a new monarch, at present we can only choose Yan Lingfeng, the eldest prince of the year. The eldest prince has been confined for many years, and it is said that he has gone crazy..."

"Because of this, the eldest prince is the best candidate." Someone echoed, "As long as Yan Lingfeng gives birth to a son, the prime minister can assist the young emperor and control the power..."

The tip of He Zongming's eyes twitched, obviously his heart was beating.

However, he just bowed his head and said, "Let's discuss this again! Discuss again..."

It is impossible for him not to be moved, but he is worried that if his plan is leaked by the people present, it will really lose his wife and lose his army.

The party ended without a problem. Most of the ministers sneaked away through the back door of the prime minister's mansion like thieves. Only a few people stayed and discussed in He Zongming's study until dawn.

That night, Yan Lingyun slept soundly holding Zhou Xuan.

The next day.

Zhou Xuan woke up, but did not see Yan Lingyun.

He yawned comfortably, then got out of bed, put on his clothes, and opened the door, only to see two guards and two maids standing there guarding the door.

Zhou Xuan also recognized that these two court ladies were Shang Cai and Shang Yu in the palace.

Shang Yu and Shang Cai bowed together and said, "I have seen Your Highness."

"Uh..." Zhou Xuan was still a little uncomfortable being called His Highness suddenly.He touched his nose and asked, "Ling... where is your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is in the study, and His Majesty told you to take you to the study to have breakfast together after you wake up. Your Highness, please follow me." Shang Cai said, turning around to lead the way.

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Xuan nodded.

Then, led by Shang Cai, he came down to the study.

Shang Cai didn't go in, but said: "Your Highness, please come in."

"Thank you." Zhou Xuan thanked again, then opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yan Lingyun sitting on a chair, with a man in sackcloth kneeling on one knee beside him.The two were talking, but when they heard the door opening, they shut up instantly.

Yan Lingyun turned his head to look, and then chuckled: "Xuan Xuan!" He waved to Zhou Xuan, and then said to the man, "Go on."
