I, make my own

Chapter 30

The fourth day of August coincides with the small court meeting day.

When the sky was just getting brighter, officials had already entered the palace one after another, and were waiting to go to court in the Houxuan Hall in front of the Ziwei Hall.

However, today's events are destined to be very different from those of the past.

In the night that just passed away, too many things happened.

Some people were in a daze and didn't know anything yet; some people were in doubt because the sound of fighting was very close to them.

There are also people who are terrified, because the government house next door was bloodbathed; some people are terrified all day long, because they know many things, and they are also aware of the disaster that may befall them...

In addition, the Hall of Houxuan was obviously too empty, and many of those who should have arrived early did not show up for a long time.

As more people came, most of the acquainted officials were in small groups, discussing in low voices.

"Master Liu, what happened last night?"

"I don't know the details. I only know that Wei Wang brought the soldiers he secretly raised to the General's Mansion."

"Hiss! Is this the prime minister's department declaring war on the general's department?"

"This, I don't quite know..."

"I know, it is indeed the case. But judging from the results, the prime minister's line should have failed."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"The general seems to have prepared for it long ago. King Wei's men were killed by the Ti Cavalry Guards. It is said that King Wei was also killed, but I don't know if it is true or not."

"Also, the Huwei army wanted to enter the city last night, but He Zhijinwu forcefully blocked them back."

"Nonsense! King Wei is alive and well! And a lot of officials from the general's line were killed, and it was all done by the prime minister's line."

When everyone was discussing, another civil servant walked in from the outside.

This person's face was quite ugly. After staring at everyone and scanning around, he gritted his teeth suddenly and announced a shocking news.

"Everyone, the general is dead!"

The voice was not loud, but it seemed that there was a powerful magic power that forcibly suppressed all the whispers and made everyone's heads turn around stiffly.

At this moment, many people felt an extremely absurd feeling in their hearts, and they couldn't believe it.

How could the dignified general die so easily?

What's more, according to the information they have, it is obvious that the general's side has gained the upper hand.

"Master Sun, how can you talk nonsense while drunk? Don't want to live anymore?!"

After a familiar official was shocked, he hurriedly scolded angrily, while constantly winking, and verbally reminded the other party to borrow a donkey to go downhill.

If this word is passed to the general's ears by someone with a heart, then the other party will be finished!
At this moment, a chuckle suddenly sounded from the outside.

"He's right, the General, he has indeed passed away unfortunately."

Everyone looked at it together, and when they saw the three people walking in together, they hurriedly bowed their heads in salute, but their hearts were filled with turmoil.

Because here is the head of the Three Kings, namely King Xin, King Han, and King He.

Since the news came from the mouth of King Xin, it cannot be faked.

The general is really dead, so doesn't that mean that the prime minister's family will dominate?

But not necessarily, after all, there is still the Empress Dowager...

After a period of silence, some courageous officials cautiously asked King Xin.

"Dare to ask Xin Wang, who is the general's death?"

"The general was assassinated. As for who instigated it, it is still difficult to determine."

Zhou Nuo spoke softly, and at the same time he sighed, with a look of pity and regret.

"Thinking of the general's life, he fought on the frontier and made great achievements in battle, but unfortunately he was stabbed by a traitor in the end. It is really heartbreaking."

When the words fell, Zhou Nuofu's expression became serious again, and he said very seriously: "The general is the pillar of the imperial court. We will write a letter to your majesty, and ask your majesty to order a strict investigation of the murderer, and bring him to justice as soon as possible, so as to comfort the general." spirit!"

"As it should."

Some people echoed, but they were not from the hall.

Hearing his voice, not only the faces of all the officials changed slightly, even King Xin, King Han, and King He all jumped in their eyelids.

"Master Lin."

Seeing Lin Zhengqing who walked in slowly with a calm face, everyone saluted in turn.

Lin Zhengqing returned the salute, stared at King Xin and the other three kings for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"The three princes are the pillars of the royal family and the cornerstone of the court. At this time when the court is in crisis, I hope that the three princes can work together with the truth to stabilize the overall situation of the court."

"Of course, there is also the unfortunate death of the general. We also need to find out the murderer and the mastermind behind it as soon as possible, and give him an explanation."

After listening to Lin Zhengqing's words, the three kings became a little surprised and uncertain.

What does this guy mean? Didn't he do the general's death?

Also, listening to the subtext in the other party's words, why does it seem that you want to cooperate with them?

No, once the general dies, the power of their faction is destined to become weaker and weaker. Even with the queen mother around, it will be difficult to stabilize the situation.

On the contrary, the influence of the prime minister's department will definitely grow gradually.

In this situation, their Three Kings will only become a thorn in the prime minister's eyes, why does the other party still show goodwill to them?

Unable to figure it out, King Xin could only laugh and deal with it temporarily.

Not long after, another seven or eight officials entered together, and there were two leaders among them, one was Zhijinwu He Yan, and the other was Minister of Industry Lu Fang.

After He Yan and the others walked in, their eyes of hatred immediately stared at Lin Zhengqing.

"Did Lin Xiang sleep well last night?"

He Yan gritted her teeth, not hiding her killing intent.

Lin Zhengqing frowned slightly, narrowed her eyes and then smiled lightly.

"The truth is that I slept well, and I'm worried about Jin Wu."

"Really? Then I wish Prime Minister Lin a peaceful sleep every night!"

He Yan sneered, and then led the person to the other side with a sullen face, without saying a word.

For this scene, other officials just watched with cold eyes.

To be honest, many people's minds are still extremely complicated when they see that there are only a few people left in the prime minister's department who used to be so numerous and powerful.

Time passed slowly, and seeing that it was already the time of Dianmao, but the waiter from Dianmao had not yet come out, all the officials couldn't help frowning.

King Xin raised his eyes and glanced at the servants on duty in the hall, wanting to find someone of his own to inquire about the situation, but with this glance, let alone a shadow, he couldn't even see a familiar face!

This discovery made King Xin frowned, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something.

At this moment, the door of the palace on the inner side opened, and Leng Yun, the chief servant, stepped in with a few servants.

"Your Majesty has a decree. Today's court meeting will be postponed for half an hour. Everyone, just wait."

Hearing the word "Your Majesty", the officials were not surprised.

Although it was said that the emperor would not show up during the small court meeting, it is obviously different today. If such a major event happened, it would be unreasonable if the emperor was not allowed to show up.

However, not being surprised by this does not mean that there is no doubt about other content.

"May I ask Director Leng, what happened in the palace? Why did you postpone the court meeting? Also, I don't know if this is the meaning of the Empress Dowager or Concubine Qionghan?"

Zhou He couldn't hold back, and asked Leng Yun aloud.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yun didn't even look at him, and even closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Zhou He's face immediately flushed red, and anger gushed out in his eyes.

Thinking that he congratulated the king majesticly, but was ignored by a damn servant? !
"you!"

Zhou He reached out his hand to curse, but was stopped by Zhou Nuo.

Seeing that King He was deflated, the others didn't dare to ask more questions, they could only continue to wait with different thoughts.

After half an hour passed in the oppressive and weird atmosphere, Leng Yun finally opened his eyes and asked someone to click.

But Leng Yun still didn't move until a group of people walked in from the outer hall door.

After seeing the person coming, the faces of all the officials changed drastically.

Because these people are all former "veteran ministers", and among them are even real officials at the level of ministers and generals.

But judging from their current identities, they are either low-level officials who are not qualified to participate in the small court meeting, or they are white, and some of them should have been locked in prisons.

The arrival of these people was beyond the expectation of most court officials, and it also made them faintly aware of something.

Perhaps, the real vortex has just begun!
"Boss Leng, what's going on?"

Xin Wang Zhou Nuo asked with a sullen face, glaring at Leng Yunhe.

"This is His Majesty's will."

Leng Yun glanced at Zhou Nuo, and replied indifferently.

"Okay, the time has come. My lords, let's go to the Ziwei Palace for work."

After the words fell, Leng Yun didn't stay any longer, turned around and left first.

Zhou Nuo squinted his eyes, and then brought the other two kings to Lin Zhengqing.

"Lin Xiang, you don't seem too surprised by their arrival?"

"The situation has changed."

Lin Zhengqing raised her eyelids and whispered a word of advice.

"Remember what the truth said before."

After saying that, Lin Zhengqing took the lead to leave, leaving the three kings staring at each other.

……

Violet Palace.

"Your Majesty is here~"

With the sound of singing, all the officials looked solemn, and then knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and waited.

When some officials at the front saw Prime Minister Lin Zhengqing kneeling obediently, their hearts were shocked and they were secretly shocked.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, it was the prime minister's prerogative not to kneel before the saint, but what happened to the prime minister today?

On the imperial steps, Zhou Xin stepped forward steadily step by step, and then sat down on the Zijin Dragon Chair in a chic and natural way.

This was the second time he sat on the dragon chair in Ziwei Hall after a few days, but his mood was very different from the first time.

To be honest, if he hadn't encountered the situation surrounding Wang Xihe last night and took the opportunity to intervene to expand the situation, this day would never have come so quickly.

"Hundreds of officials worship~"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The voices of all the officials echoed in the spacious, grand and majestic hall. Although it was not as loud as during the Great Court Conference, it was quite intoxicating to Zhou Xin's ears.

This country, this court, this throne, he has finally initially held it in his hands!

After living a new life, since he has become the emperor, he must be an emperor who can do whatever he wants, be free and unfettered!
It doesn't matter whether it is a wise emperor, a faint emperor, or a tyrant, let him comment in all kinds of ways, and if there is any violation, he will suppress it by himself!
"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials thanked each other, then knelt down on their soft seats and straightened their backs.

It was only at this time that they realized that the two seats on both sides of the dragon carving screen had disappeared!
