When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

As Mu Cang left, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Emperor Zhaocheng's expression was deep and unpredictable, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

But the old fox who has been immersed in the court for decades is good at observing words and emotions and guessing the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has become famous at a young age and has a lot of troops in his hands. Has he become more self-respecting in recent years?" Gu Cheng glanced at Mu Cang's leaving figure, then turned to look at the emperor with a sad look, "In front of the king, there is no trace of dignity. Without the respect of a minister; in front of his family and country, he only cares about his own selfish interests and does not consider the overall situation at all. Is this kind of ninth prince still the same loyal king and country as before? "

As he spoke, he said with great sadness: "I just lament that I am not a general and cannot worry about the Emperor. I am so ashamed!"

"Prime Minister, you don't need to blame yourself too much." King Jing Youyou said, "Isn't 늄lang still young? As long as Prime Minister is willing, when Uncle Nine Emperors goes to the border in the future, Lord Prime Minister can let Mr. Gu follow Uncle Nine Emperors to practice together. , maybe he can become a military commander with military power in the future."

Prime Minister Gu's expression froze, and then he smiled bitterly: "Quinzi is weak and can't even hold weapons. Going to the battlefield will only be a drag on the Ninth Prince. Isn't Prince Jing joking?"

"So the Prime Minister knows that Mr. Wang is incompetent?" King Jing sneered, "My own son can't even hold a weapon, but the Prime Minister is here to slander the Nine Emperors Uncle who has made great contributions to the country. I wonder what his intentions are?"

Prime Minister Gu's expression suddenly changed: "Why did Prince Jing say this? I——"

"The Kingdom of Jin has been provoking troops in the northern frontier all the year round. It wants to annex the Kingdom of Mu. If the Lord Protector of the Kingdom, Uncle Nine Emperors, had not resisted with all his life, how would you, the Prime Minister, have the opportunity to stand in the main hall and speak nonsense?" King Jing's eyes were cold and cold. Looking at Prime Minister Gu, his eyes were filled with coldness, "Thank you, Father, for being wise. Otherwise, if I fell into your words of sowing discord, wouldn't I really have to break up with Uncle Nine Emperors and endanger the country of Mu?"

"Sixth Brother!" Mu Xiuyu's expression turned cold, "The Prime Minister is also loyal, why did he ever intend to sow discord?"

"Loyalty?" King Jing smiled coldly, "Your loyalty is really worthless."

"you--"

"What's the fuss about?" Emperor Zhaocheng frowned and shouted, "Do you think this is a vegetable market?"

"I understand that I am guilty, please calm down my father." Mu Xiuyu bowed and apologized, "No one can deny that the Nine Emperors Uncle is very capable, but his attitude is indeed disrespectful. The Prime Minister just told the truth and did not mean to provoke. I hope my father will learn from this."

"Uncle Nine Emperors is very cold. He has been like this since he was a child." King Jing retorted, "Brother Four Emperors are about the same age as Uncle Nine Emperors. He has always been cold and kept people away from him since he was a child. Don't you remember that?" Could it be that he just had disrespectful intentions?"

"I--"

"Prince Jing is right." Emperor Zhaocheng nodded slowly, "Mu Cang has been cold-tempered since he was a child. He didn't mean to be disrespectful to me. Prime Minister, don't worry."

Prime Minister Gu looked slightly stiff and leaned forward to salute: "Yes, I obey your order."

"King Jing, King Yu, follow me to the imperial study." Emperor Zhaocheng stood up, looked around majestically at the ministers in the palace, "Retreat from the court."

Xiao Changhai flicked his fly whisk, opened his throat and shouted: "Retreat from the court——"

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ŴŴŴ.

Amid the roar of the crowd, Emperor Zhaocheng led Xiao Changhai to retreat from the court, followed by King Jing.

Prime Minister Gu stood up and stared at King Jing's back expressionlessly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Sixth brother has defended Uncle Nine Emperors Yan Li again and again. What does he want to do?" Mu Xiuyu came over. King Jing, who had left with the Prime Minister Wang Zhe, looked worried, "You are not trying to compete for that position, are you? ?”

"Even if King Jing is ambitious, he will not be your highness's opponent." Prime Minister Gu withdrew his gaze and said in a cold voice, "The merchant family has no right to interfere in the selection of the crown prince, so the Wei family cannot help him. Concubine Wei Shu repeatedly mentioned it in front of the emperor. You can't even mention it." Mu Xiuyu was silent for a moment: "But what if Uncle Nine Emperors is willing to help him?"

Ninth Prince help him?

Prime Minister Gu clenched his hands hanging by his side: "Then let's create some evidence to make the Emperor think that the Ninth Prince has disloyal intentions. This can solve everything."

Mu Xiuyu was silent for a moment, then raised his feet and followed him.

On the way to the Imperial Study Room, he was still thinking about the feasibility of this method.

If the father would believe that the Nine Emperors Uncle had disobedient intentions?

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Zhaocheng retired from the palace, leaving only Xiao Changhai waiting at his side. "Prince Jing came in first and asked Prince Yu to wait outside."

"yes."

Emperor Zhaocheng took a memorial and began to read it. His tone was always calm: "During this period, there have been many memorials to impeach Prime Minister Gu for corruption, accepting bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain. What do you think?"

King Jing raised his eyebrows: "Who is impeaching?"

"You don't have to know who it is."

King Jing thought for a while: "My father should know very well whether the Prime Minister has committed corruption, accepted bribes, or formed a party for personal gain. It is inconvenient for me to say more."

"Can't you say more?" Emperor Zhaocheng raised his eyes and looked at him, "Don't you dare to say?"

"No." King Jing shook his head, "If my father thinks that Prime Minister Gu can be used, then he will definitely not deal with him now. I will only embarrass my father in the future."

On the other hand, if the emperor was determined to deal with the Gu family, the impeachment details in front of him would be enough for him to order people to raid Prime Minister Gu's house.

Therefore, whether the emperor wanted to kill someone or not was really just a matter of thought.

Emperor Zhaocheng hummed: "What do you think of the six-mile urgent letter?"

"My son thought that it was just a plan by the Kingdom of Jin to sow discord." King Jing did not hesitate, "Father, are you willing to listen to your analysis?"

"explain."

"First, Nanyang Gong's maiden name is Yan Li, and she is an orphan girl from the Jiang family."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaocheng glanced at him slightly strangely, moved his mouth, but suppressed what he wanted to say: "Continue."

King Jing continued: "Yan Li was originally an orphan. Although she was extremely beautiful, due to her status, she never had any reputation in other countries."

Emperor Zhaocheng nodded.

"The royal family of the Jin Kingdom have probably never even heard of Yan Li's name, let alone seen her, so asking to marry her because of her beauty is obviously untenable."

Emperor Zhaocheng pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "You are right."

"Secondly, Yan Li's title of Duke was given by his father, and it has been a month now." King Jing made a persuasive analysis, "The name of Nanyang Duke should not have shocked the world to the point of causing a sensation. How could the Kingdom of Jin suddenly Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to want to marry her, even if you want to cede nine cities?”

Ridiculous indeed.

Emperor Zhaocheng flicked his pen and put the reviewed memorial aside: "So, asking to marry Duke Nanyang is not the real purpose of the Jin Kingdom at all?"

"Absolutely not." King Jing said, "The Kingdom of Jin has always been ambitious and wants to take away all our territory. How can it be possible to cede nine cities? Even if it really means this, at least one condition must be met."

"What conditions?"

King Jing said calmly: "Dong Nanyang has enough value for them to cede nine cities in order to marry him."

Emperor Zhaocheng lowered his eyes and read the memorial for a moment, then slowly raised his head: "Value?"
