Chapter 41 Imperial Worm

"Yes, I am worried about this too. Judging from now, Yuan Dongyang and Wang Gaoyuan are probably dead."

Yu Wenji nodded slightly.

"It seems we will have to select someone to take their place."

Yu Qian rolled his eyes and said coldly.

"What I'm worried about now is the person in the palace who will definitely arrange for him in these two positions."

Yuwenji pondered.

Yu Qian was slightly startled, thinking that he was right, and couldn't help but frown.

Originally, he had four ministers and could still control the government. If he lost two more, it would be over.

In particular, the Ministry of Households is in charge of money, and the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials all over the world.

These two departments are really important.

But now that the emperor wants to take it back, can they still object as ministers?

In fact, Lu Hao was just a pawn used by the emperor to deal with them.

To be precise, Lu Hao is the emperor's sword.

In their opinion, without the support of the emperor, Lu Hao, a eunuch, would not dare to kill three people in a row.

"Then what should we do?"

Yu Qian rubbed his temples and asked with a grimace.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!"

Yu Wenji's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"what do you mean……"

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "No! That's too radical."

"Then what do you say now?"

Yuwenji asked rhetorically.

"This matter can only be done step by step, so be it..."

Yu Qian approached him and explained in a low voice.

It turned out that the Prime Minister wanted to poison Murong Yuan, a colorless and odorless chronic poison. The person who was poisoned was unaware of it and it was not easy to detect at all. He would definitely die suddenly within three months.

As long as Murong Yuan died, they would naturally put Murong Xian on the throne as a puppet, instead of still controlling the government.

Won’t the power come back by then?

However, poisoning Murong Yuan was not an easy task.

Yu Qian originally wanted Yu Wenji's daughter Li Guifei to take action, but Yu Wenji denied it.

Because he was worried that Concubine Li would not be willing and would leak the news.

Even if Concubine Li agreed, he was still worried that his daughter would accidentally reveal her flaws.

By then, both families would be doomed.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, leave this matter to me and there will never be any loopholes."

Yu Wenji took the initiative to take over the matter.

……

Along with the arrest of Wang Gaoyuan, the Minister of Rites, thirteen senior officials of the imperial court were also imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.

Although Di Renjie, the Minister of Punishment, was a confidant of the Prime Minister, he did not compete with Lu Hao on this matter.

"Master Di, these people are being held here. We must not throw them away, let alone die. Our family will review them tomorrow."

Lu Hao didn't have time to waste here.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Lu, Wei Chen will definitely take good care of them."

Master Di nodded and bowed, and responded.

There is no way, Lu Hao is holding the Emperor's Sword now, even the Prime Minister dare not fight against him, he is nothing.

Besides, Lu Hao has the emperor behind him. If he goes against him, he doesn’t want to live anymore!

After a busy day, Lu Hao did not rest, but rushed to the imperial study room.

"Reporting to your Majesty, my servants have arrested thirteen people who have committed a lot of corruption."

Lu Hao handed over the list.

Murong Yuan took it and looked at it roughly.

"Didn't Yu Qian come to stop you?"

Murong Yuan asked.

"No, they didn't show up today."

Lu Hao answered truthfully.

"It seems he is not stupid!"

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Murong Yuan's mouth. "My slaves put these people in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the emperor to punish them."

Lu Hao asked for instructions.

"This matter is left to you. If you need to be tried, you will be tried and if you are killed, you will be killed. However, I will spit out all the gold, silver and jewels that they have enriched themselves with."

Murong Yuan said coldly.

"The servant understands!"

Lu Hao was extremely happy.

This kind of fat job of reviewing corrupt officials is a good opportunity to make money.

After all, many properties do not need to be recorded at all. You can just hand them over and submit them to the emperor.

Next, Lu Hao helped deal with the memorial in the imperial study, and also helped Murong Yuan with acupuncture, and then dispensed medicine.

After this period of adjustment, Murong Yuan's mentality seemed to have recovered a lot.

At least no more random killings.

The atmosphere in the entire imperial study has improved a lot. Two beautiful maids, twin sisters from the Yi family, have just been transferred.

The 17-year-old twin sisters are charming, like flowers and moons, full of aura, like two budding flowers waiting to bloom.

The younger sister, Yi Ruyan, was responsible for polishing ink for the emperor, while the older sister, Yi Rushuang, was responsible for organizing the memorials.

This made Li Hao feel a lot more relaxed.

"Hehehe...Xiao Liuzi, look, someone else has taken part in your book."

Murong Yuan said with a cheerful smile.

Today, many court ministers have come forward to testify against Lu Hao, accusing him of murderous crimes, ruthlessness, lawlessness, and abuse of the death penalty.

Lu Hao took it over and took a look, and found that it was another piece of music that he had played for himself. He suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you must be clear! This slave is loyal to your Majesty and is definitely not someone who kills indiscriminately."

Lu Hao said with a grimace.

"Xiao Liuzi, well done! Well done! These empire worms deserve to die! Just go ahead and do it, I will be your strong backing!"

Murong Yuan encouraged him cheerfully.

"Your Majesty, this slave is your sword. I will kill whomever you say! As long as it is for the Emperor, I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces!"

Lu Hao once again expressed his loyalty.

In fact, Murong Yuan had tested him before and asked him to kill the Empress Dowager.

As a result, Lu Hao immediately agreed without any hesitation.

Naturally, it also gained the emperor's approval.

"I don't want you to be shattered to pieces. I want you to live well. Write down the list of those who participated in your performance."

"As for the files of these people, you can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to read the files so that you know yourself and the enemy."

Murong Yuan warned.

……

Lu Hao followed the emperor back to Qianyuan Palace.

After dinner, Eunuch Hai came back.

Murong Yuan dismissed everyone and asked Lu Hao to follow him into the inner room.

"Your Majesty, my servant is lucky to have lived up to his command!"

Eunuch Hai took out a box.

"Lu Hao, come over and sit down and let Eunuch Hai help you put it on."

Murong Yuan motioned for Lu Hao to sit in front of the dressing table.

Lu Hao was a little confused and had no choice but to do as he was told.

Eunuch Hai opened the box and actually took out a mask from inside.

"Is this the legendary human skin mask?"

Lu Hao was stunned.

Eunuch Hai quickly helped him put it on, and then glued the contact surfaces between his neck and cheek.

Looking at the person in the mirror, Lu Hao was completely killed.

Inside was a face exactly like Murong Yuan's.

"Amazing! It's really amazing!"

Murong Yuan looked up and down and marveled.

"Well, the workmanship is exquisite. Even if you look carefully, you can't find any flaws!"

Eunuch Hai also praised.

There are ten thousand kinds of grass and mud horses galloping past Lu Hao's heart.
