Everyone immediately understood.
Not lingering either.
After everyone left, Lu Qian stopped He Xun.
He told her about wanting Xi Fei to go to Lingbao Temple.
He Xun smiled and continued, "I forgot to tell you this... The abbot of Lingbao Temple has indeed come to ask him several times to ask for the next volume. I have been holding back and haven't given it... otherwise , should I directly make the conditions?"
Lu Qian nodded and then said, "Okay, you try it first..."
He Xun nodded and said without saying a word that he would try it...
"Starting tomorrow, starting from the Heshi Chamber of Commerce, you will have all the shops related to our Heshi Chamber of Commerce to close down. Just say that you are not satisfied with the removal of the Minister of Household Affairs." Lu Qian said calmly.
He Xun nodded, naturally understanding what Lu Qian was going to do.
After Xia Jiuyuan wrote a letter, he asked Gao Weixin to send someone to deliver it...
As a result, when the letter was delivered to the door, it was intercepted by Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao immediately forwarded the letter to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian looked at the letter in Zhang Bao's hand and said to Xia Nihuang with a bit of laughter, "Brother, you are really a dog that can't change its behavior... You still want Yang Yun to take over the Tianji Army... He What I don’t know is that the Tianji Army doesn’t recognize anyone except me now!”
Lu Qian is not pretending, because Lu Qian personally contributes a large part of the military expenditures of the entire Tianji Army.
Therefore, the entire Tianji Army's military pay is the highest on the entire continent.
Everyone naturally knows where the money comes from.
And with such a high military salary, except for Lu Qian.
Even if the country were to bear the burden, it would be unaffordable.
Xia Nihuang said to Lu Qian, "Why are you doing this... You have already achieved this. Why don't you just replace him? As for the emperor brother, you can make him a king and let him live a long life." Forget it...I believe that if you become the emperor of Daxia, you will be able to bring Daxia to unprecedented glory."
Seeing Xia Nihuang say this, Lu Qian couldn't help but smile knowingly, then pinched Xia Nihuang's nose and said, "You are really my woman! Or do you want to be the queen?"
Xia Nihuang said with disdain, "I care about you. Although my imperial brother can be stupid sometimes, he is better than ruthless. When the time comes, it will be bad if he hurts you... So while you are still here, It didn’t get to the point where it was like fire and water. Instead, it was the best way I could think of to get the best of both worlds. It could also save his life.”
After hearing this, Lu Qian smiled bitterly, and then said, "Those civil and military officials just seemed to have been bribed by me... But if I really want to rebel, half of them will stand up against me."
"There are also those clans who seem to be following my lead. But once the world is in chaos, which one will be the most beneficial to them? Naturally, it will be to separate one party and become one of the princes... When the prices are high, whoever has the most strength will go to which party? square..."
"Even the children of the old prince and Yang Yun's army will separatist forces one after another. They even come to attack me..."
"Although I have the Tianji Army, I have no time to take care of the whole situation. Although, I can guarantee that they will not be able to capture my city. However, Daxia will definitely split, and by then, Dazhou and Beiliang will definitely follow the trend. By then, the suffering people will It will be the people. Why should I do this thankless thing and make myself a sinner in the eyes of the people..."
After listening to Lu Qian's words, Xia Nihuang was a little surprised and said, "So you have thought of it all..."
"That's right, I am now called holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. Now, your imperial brother is also a caged bird. The reason why I came up with the leave is so that he can see it clearly. Just be an emperor in the imperial city. Yes." Lu Qian said with a smile.
Xia Nihuang nodded repeatedly, and then said, "Then have you ever thought about replacing him?"
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really not interested..."
...
The next day.
Xia Jiuyuan sat on the dragon chair with a very expression on his face.
Very ugly.
Because in the entire Jinluan Palace, there were only seven or eight veterans who supported him.
Apart from that, there is no one else.
"Didn't I just dismiss a few ministers yesterday...where were the others?" Xia Jiuyuan was a little anxious.
"Reporting to your Majesty, those officials are all sick at home." An old minister stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, they did this on purpose. I heard... After leaving the court yesterday, all the officials went to the Lu Mansion. The people joked that the Lu Mansion is now a small court." At this time, another The veteran said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu is clearly going to give you a blow..."
Seeing this, Xia Jiuyuan said sternly, "Huh...you are playing this trick with me. Tell them that if they don't come to court tomorrow, they won't come...Then, you can draw up some lists for me. I am a huge country. Also find some officials."
The next day, the same people came to court.
The officials ignored Xia Jiuyuan at all.
Xia Jiuyuan originally wanted to select some officials, but some of the lists he was given were all nepotism among veterans.
I wanted to meet them, but after meeting a few, they were all playboys and mediocre people.
Xia Jiuyuan was stunned that he had not chosen a suitable one.
The third day.
Xia Jiuyuan sat alone on the dragon chair, looking at the empty Golden Palace.
Xia Jiuyuan was so angry that he didn't know where to direct it.
"Gao Weixin! What's going on? Where are the people? Are they all dead?"
Gao Weixin said to Xia Jiuyuan with an unkind expression, "Your Majesty, there have been riots in many places in Kyoto... Everything is in chaos."
"How could this happen? A riot... This is under the emperor's feet, how could there be a riot?" Xia Jiuyuan said sharply.
"Because all the officials were sick at home, all their disciples and old officials were also sick at home. All the government offices were closed, and even the shops in Kyoto went on strike because they were dissatisfied with the removal of the Minister of Household Affairs. The common people had nothing to buy. So they turned their anger on those veterans. They surrounded their homes, and now they don't dare to come out..." Gao Weixin bowed and said.
"This is unreasonable, these mobs! Send people to suppress them...Where is Dian Guangming? Are their criminal departments eating shit?" Xia Jiuyuan asked sharply.
Gao Weixin reminded, "Dian Shangshu has been dismissed by your majesty..."
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable... Is there any news about Yang Yun's Yang family army... I still don't believe it. Without that eunuch, this Great Xia would be in chaos!!" Xia Jiuyuan got angry and said, going back and forth.
Gao Weixin shook his head and did not tell him about the letter being hijacked by Lu Qian. He just shook his head and said there was no news.
"Your Majesty, Kyoto is now in a state of paralysis. If this continues, it may trigger a civil uprising! If it is not resolved, the palace may be besieged next." Gao Weixin reminded.
"They dare!" Xia Jiuyuan said sharply.
The best emperor master
