Chapter 7【Take back the power】

child time.

Xuan King City was completely silent, the watchman knocked for the last time and was ready to go to the city gate to change shifts.

With a wine bag on his waist, he drank all the way, his face turned red all the way to his neck, his eyes were blurred, but in the cold wind, he borrowed some warmth from the wine.

state--

The watchman yawned, put away the gong and unscrewed the wine bag again.

rustle--

A strange voice rushed past from above.The watchman froze for a moment, then looked up, the dark night sky didn't even have any stars.

"Illusion?" The watchman shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and walked slowly towards the city gate.

And at the place where he left, a black figure on the small street diagonally opposite the door turned over from the roof and jumped into the courtyard wall very quickly.

This is a small courtyard with paulownia planted outside the gate, and in this season there are only bare branches stretching lonely towards the sky.

The man in black didn't make a sound when he landed, but all the lights in the surrounding rooms were turned on instantly.

An elongated figure appeared on the window paper, the door of the main hall was pushed open first, and a man like a thin monkey came out to welcome him.

"Master." He greeted with a smile, and bowed slightly as a salute.

The man didn't bother with him, he hummed, and strode into the door.

The thin monkey shook his hands at the other windows, "Go to sleep, the master is back."

The door of the main hall was closed to block the cold wind outside.The thin monkey took the man's tea, and then took the coat handed over by him.The outer robe was already stained with frost and dew, and the fabric surface was wet.

Thin Monkey went into the back room to take out a brand new cloak, with a dove gray neckline and black satin. Under the firelight, you can see the hidden gold thread edge, which is a low-key atmosphere.

"Grandpa, how is it?" The thin monkey couldn't stop, jumping left and right excitedly, "Did the little emperor get scared? Did he cry? I heard that he looks really ugly when he cries!"

The man's handsome face raised eyebrows slightly, as if thinking of something, the corner of his mouth curled up a little, "He's not the same as the one in the legend."

"Ah?" The thin monkey was stunned, and looked at him stupidly, "What's the difference? He didn't cry? He didn't make a fuss? Oh...then he must have passed out."

"No." The man put down his teacup, leaned back into the chair, pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm afraid I've miscalculated this time."

"???" The thin monkey didn't understand, squatted on the opposite chair, and tilted his head.

The man didn't say any more, he glanced at the thin monkey opposite, and clicked his tongue.

"How long have you been with me? Why are you still so stubborn? It doesn't matter if you're in the palace, can't you earn some face for me when you go out?"

The thin monkey who was scolded immediately jumped down and sat down properly.

Who are these two people?It was Yu Ziwen and his party who hid in Wangcheng City after leaving the Xuanguo Palace.

This thin monkey-like man is Yu Ziwen's personal bodyguard, a trustworthy confidant, and also a vigilante who disguised himself as a servant in the grove that day.Thin monkey, born Zhang Kang, was almost beaten to death in a gambling shop when he was 12 years old, but was rescued by Yu Ziwen who passed by, and then he followed Yu Ziwen as if he had recognized his master, but he couldn't drive him away.

Later, Yu Ziwen discovered that he was good at lightness kung fu and was good at hiding his aura. Although he might not be the opponent of other guards in a duel, he was quite clever.So he simply kept it by his side and taught him carefully, and later became a little expert in scouting news.

It's just that what Zhang Kang learned in the slums can't be changed no matter what. Whether he sits or eats, it's helpless to take him out like a hooligan forever.

After originally missing the opportunity for Emperor Xuan Le to bow his head and become a minister, the task of monitoring Emperor Xuan Le was given to Zhang Kang.But halfway through, Yu Ziwen changed his mind and went by himself.

It has to be said that the guards in Xuanguo Palace are not as bad as a small frontier town in Yuguo. They had made up their minds to scare the emperor, but they didn't want to see an interesting scene.

The Prime Minister of the Country disappeared, but the emperor, who should have panicked, didn't respond at all.He was angry, calm, and verbose.

Yu Ziwen thought of the way he was babbling to those ministers, and somehow found it very funny.She doesn't look like an emperor, but like an old woman who hates iron and steel.

"Emperor Xuan Le doesn't plan to rely on the Prime Minister of the Country anymore." He swallowed the tea in his hand, pursed his lips, his eyes showed excitement, "He intends to revive the Xuan Kingdom, our plan has changed."

"Rejuvenation?" Zhang Kang obviously couldn't understand, "Is he going to abdicate?"

Yu Ziwen stood up and smashed the lid of the cup to Zhang Kang's face. Zhang Kang quickly dodged and caught the flying lid.Look again, Yu Ziwen has gone back to his room to rest.

I don't understand.Zhang Kang was full of question marks, it should be a troublesome matter, why did the Lord look so happy?

Water disaster palace.

Xuan Le didn't sleep well this time, and finally threatened the system to give it a bad review on version 3.5 if he didn't cooperate, which made the system force his soul into a deep sleep.

But because he slept too deeply, he was finally woken up by a basin of warm water.

"The emperor forgives the sin." Ji Xing said with a washbasin in his hand, "The emperor has been talking in his sleep, and he couldn't wake up the subject, so he made such a bad plan."

Xuan Le: "..."

Wash and change clothes.It was the first time to go to court, Xuan Le planned to shock all directions and scare the group of old antiques to death.

It's a pity that it is an eternal truth that pretending to be aggressive is bound to be struck by lightning.

When stepping on the pedals, the toes stepped on the hem of the clothes, and he jumped on the throne.

The ministers looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and the hall was extremely quiet for a while.

Xuan Le coughed, sat down and straightened her clothes, smiled and said: "If there is a book to play, there is no book to retreat."

All the ministers: "..."

Ji Xing was full of question marks, but his face was paralyzed and he remained calm, supporting the emperor's momentum.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xuan Le said coldly: "Could it be that Gu is here as an exhibit?"

All the ministers immediately knelt down and said: "The emperor forgives the crime."

Xuan Le sneered, almost raised Erlang's legs, pressed his knee with one hand at a critical moment, and said majesticly: "I think everyone has received news about the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Does no one have anything to say about this matter?"

A minister came out and said: "It is said that General Lei has full authority to take over the investigation of this matter?"

"Exactly." Xuan Le nodded.

The minister said: "I dare you, the affairs of the Xiangye's mansion will not be completed in one day, the murderer must have been planning for a long time. If this is the case, if General Lei can't find out anything, dare to ask the emperor what is his plan?"

Xuan Le hummed twice in his heart, this person is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, he must have been notified by Concubine Luo before.He doesn't care what method Concubine Luo uses to stabilize these gentlemen, who actually have no peace of mind, as long as he doesn't take the opportunity to disrupt the stability of the government, he is willing to let them go, and will not touch those who know you and me for the time being. A little secret I know.

"The Prime Minister of the State has made great achievements. If he can't be found, he will be buried with a grand ceremony in March. If you work hard alone, you will take over the work from the Prime Minister of the State."

Work harder?

At this time, everyone must have a huge question mark in their hearts. Does the emperor really not blush when he says this?

The minister couldn't help but looked up at the emperor, but seeing that the emperor was not joking, his heart was agitated, and he said: "The emperor's lesson." Then he retreated.

Intermittently, some people came forward to inquire about the subsequent management affairs. More or less, these people handed over some power.It's hard to say how much power they have, just looking at the number and the attitude of these people, Xuan Le is barely satisfied.

Just as Xuan Le thought, there is almost nothing clean on these people. They have more or less unwritten agreements with the Prime Minister, whether it is in terms of power or money. It's okay to burn it all up, and there are no clues left.But the big fire didn't burn the warehouse, as if on purpose, so that these people couldn't sleep well.

The emperor doesn't care about things, but it doesn't mean that he won't be angry or angry when he sees these things.It is well-known that the Prime Minister of the country takes power, but in front of the emperor, he also abides by the rules that a courtier should have.

The emperor is still the emperor, and there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched.

In private, some people said that the Prime Minister of the State had already started secretly planning a conspiracy. Everyone turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. It didn't matter whether they took it to heart or not.

There are families who marry three wives and four concubines and a basket of baskets, some privately hire prostitutes and brothels in Wangcheng restaurants, and there are also officials who specialize in running casinos to fill their own pockets.

These people either get beautiful women, or get gold and silver.After a long time of good times, it is natural to have milk and be a mother.

The royal city is prosperous, but the outside of the royal city has long since withered.If Xuan Le can't see it, others should also not see it.Does it matter who sits in this world?unimportant.But now that the Gu family is losing power, these people naturally have to plan for themselves. If the evidence is exposed in broad daylight, they will die anyway, so why not just fight it out?

It's just that the news came from Concubine Luo last night that the Prime Minister of the country just disappeared, and no one can decide what the future holds.Right now, the emperor doesn't intend to be the hands-off shopkeeper anymore. If you don't offer your loyalty at this time, what are you waiting for?

Want to simply rebel?Leaving aside anything else, Lei Quan is not dead yet.

Everyone counted together overnight, right?As long as the emperor ignores the previous suspicions and they temporarily restrain their edge, this royal city and this country will still have to rely on them to support them.

After all, a little emperor is no more than this level.Temporarily bowing his head to express his loyalty, the emperor was happy, and they were still the ones who benefited. The most important thing was that the Prime Minister of the country was only missing after all.

Whoever is the first bird at this time will not know how to die when the Prime Minister returns.It's better to listen to Concubine Luo first, why not be obedient for a while?

Everyone felt that their ideas were perfect, Xuan Le was smiling on the top, ignoring the expressions on the bottom.

Only Ran Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward and said: "The Prime Minister of the country has worked hard for the country, and the ministers admire him. If this is abandoned, the ministers will also be ashamed of the Prime Minister in the future. Ministers are not talented, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for poetry, dance, music and prose And holidays are all under the supervision of Lord Xiang, what should be done in the future, I ask the emperor to show me!"

As he said that, Ran Qing made a big ceremony, and the sound of kowtowing made other ministers stunned.

What, what is this? !The Minister of the Ministry of Officials next to him was dumbfounded, most of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were promoted by Ran Qing, that's not what he did if he wanted to flatter him!What minister is not talented?I'm still a dog!The Ministry of Rites has always been presided over by Ran Qing, when did it pass through the hands of the Prime Minister?No one knows better than Ran Qing himself about the Ministry of Rites. What does he mean now... what does he mean now?

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials did not react, but the others turned pale.

This is a beginning, do others have the nerve to say less than Ran Qing?Ran Qing's talent is well known to everyone, he stepped back seven steps, others dare to say that they are better than him, never bothering the Prime Minister to supervise, only three steps back?

Immediately, the pleats on the emperor's desk slapped each of them hard.

"Master Ran, what did you say?" Xuan Le waved his hand, "Master Ran's talent is obvious to everyone. This matter of the Ministry of Rites, you should be in charge, Gu... just learn from the Prime Minister and supervise it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor didn't seem stupid, and he wouldn't accept everything that was handed over by others.That's right, the little emperor is ignorant, if he is really asked to take power, does he dare to take it?

The others suddenly realized that, while despising Ran Qing's flattery, which was so good, and he had lost a little bit, they regretted that they didn't come sooner.

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of the Household Department immediately stepped out and handed over the power on his own initiative.The wording is sincere, imploring the emperor to strictly review and supervise.

The others followed suit, Xuan Le watched with a smile on his face, and when the other four books were about the same, he slapped the table.

"Okay!" He roared, startling everyone.

"Gu Yuan thought that if the Prime Minister of the country disappeared, everyone might have no intention of governing the country. I didn't expect that the adults still care about the country and put the country and the people first! Very good!!"

Everyone suddenly said that they dare not dare.

Xuan Le wrote lightly: "Since that's the case, I'll work harder when I'm alone."

Everyone: "..."

This shit is different from the agreed upon script! ! !
