The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

The ministers all turned their heads and looked outside.

Lord Wen?

The well-informed ministers in the court already knew that Wen Jin had returned to the imperial city, but most people were obviously very surprised to hear this.

"Lord Wen? Didn't he go with Xie Yunzhou to suppress the rebellion? Why did he come back suddenly?"

"Lord Wen has always been loyal to the emperor. Did he hear the movements in the court and rush back to protect the emperor?"

The ministers who knew the inside story sneered at the words. Protect the emperor?

How could they know that Lord Wen, the emperor's most trusted, was actually a treacherous minister who came back to overthrow the imperial power and support the eldest princess to ascend to the throne... I really don't know what's wrong with him.

Although they knew in their hearts that the eldest princess currently had the advantages of time, place, and people, Lord Wen was a noble and powerful minister after all, so he had to fight for it, right? With his ability, if he could be loyal to the emperor and eliminate the princess at this time, not only would the emperor trust him more in the future, he would be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and all the civil and military officials in the court would follow his lead, and from then on, he would be the most powerful minister in the court and be famous for generations.

Why should he follow the princess in a rebellion and be infamous as a sycophant?

Under the attention of all the ministers, the noble sycophant walked in with a calm and steady step. He was tall and thin, with a handsome and elegant face, and his elegance was unmatched.

Just looking at his appearance, who dares to say that he looks like a sycophant?

Against the backdrop of Si's black robe, Lord Wen Jin, who was dressed in white and white, was like a fallen immortal. Even though the ministers present were all men and would not be easily attracted by sex, they could not ignore the brilliance of Wen Jin at this time.

They really couldn't understand why such a noble and unparalleled person would choose to go along with the eldest princess?

He walked through the hall under the complicated gazes of the ministers on both sides, with a faint smile on his lips as usual, and even his voice was gentle as if he was discussing poetry with his wife: "Are all the adults here?"

"Shouldn't Lord Wen be suppressing the rebellion outside? Why did he suddenly appear here?" When the Duke of Zhenguo saw Wen Jin, his eyes showed shock, "Could it be that he knew that the emperor was in trouble and rushed back to protect him?"

Wen Jin looked at him calmly: "The emperor is in trouble? I wonder what the emperor is in trouble with?"

The Duke of Zhenguo's face changed: "You——"

"I came from Suzaku City." Wen Jin stood on the steps of the palace and looked around at the ministers, "The prophecy of auspicious signs in Suzaku City has spread all over the country. I went to find out the situation myself and want to know who is behind it."

Instigated?

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment? Lord Wen meant that someone was deliberately spreading rumors and plotting something bad?

Wen Jin turned to look at Wei Changhai: "Is that the imperial edict in Eunuch Wei's hand?"

"Yes." Wei Changhai smiled humbly, "The emperor feels that his body is not well, so he wrote a decree. Would Lord Wen like to take a look?"

Wen Jin was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the ministers: "I will see what the emperor said first."

Wei Changhai hurriedly handed the imperial edict to Wen Jin. Wen Jin unfolded it in front of everyone, read it carefully word by word, and frowned slowly: "Does the emperor believe that the eldest princess is the emperor who is destined to be the emperor?"

When these words fell, the ministers who knew the inside story in the court had subtle expressions, while the ministers who did not know the inside story had surprised expressions, and their eyes were tightly closed. He stared at Wen Jin anxiously: "Sir Wen, what did the emperor say?"

Wen Jin looked up at everyone without saying a word, his expression seemed to be regretful and helpless, and then he "lived up to everyone's expectations" and unfolded the imperial edict in front of the ministers, and read slowly: "I have been in office for less than a year. Although I have the heart to work hard to govern, I do not have the talent of an emperor. I am dull, incompetent, and weak. I am not fit to be an emperor. Now I am willing to abdicate in accordance with the decree of heaven, and entrust the country to Princess Yan Qing of Suzaku..."

The hall was silent, with only a gentle and elegant voice that could be heard word by word, announcing the change of imperial power and the abdication of the throne.
