Emperor Qing sat on the dragon chair and watched quietly.
Although Prince Su's move felt a bit forceful and bullying.
But I have to say that it was really enjoyable. Seeing the frightened look of these courtiers, Emperor Qing couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
The most surprising thing was that this old guy actually took out the dragon-headed staff.
Although the dragon-headed staff represents the privileges bestowed by Emperor Gaozu. But it is not something that can be used casually.
If a non-sycophant shakes the foundation of the royal family, if a non-emperor has misled the country to a certain extent, the role of the dragon-headed staff is nothing more than a status symbol.
Now, the ministers are using resignation as a danger to force the emperor to depose the prince Liu Qi. Isn't this a kind of forced palace?
Prince Su originally thought that when he arrived, relying on his status as an old prince, he would be able to suppress these officials.
But only then did he realize that he had seriously underestimated Yang Wenyuan.
I had not had much contact with him before, but I had heard that Yang Wenyuan was very powerful now, but it was unimaginable that he had already controlled the courtiers to such an extent.
There was no other way, so Prince Su could only take out the dragon-headed staff. In this way, Liu Qi's position as prince was preserved.
Yang Wenyuan was lying on the ground. The anger in my heart reached the extreme.
He knew that today, no matter what, there was no way to abolish Liu Qi's position as crown prince.
The opportunity he saw just slipped away, which really made him unwilling.
"Since Prince Su has taken out the dragon-headed staff, I naturally have nothing to say. I dare not go against Gaozu's order."
"However, Prince Su is trying to protect the crown prince Liu Qi. You must be cautious and think clearly!"
Yang Wenyuan's words seemed to be submissive, but in fact they were also a threat.
The dragon-headed staff was taken out, which indicated that if Liu Qi really made an irreversible mistake or committed treason, then even Prince Su would not be able to escape the blame! !
It can even be said that from this moment on, Prince Su is a grasshopper tied to a rope with Liu Qi. No matter what fault Liu Qi makes, he will be implicated.
But Prince Su just sneered a few times.
"Although I am old, my eyes are not blind. I can still see clearly no matter who is doing."
"Since I have identified the prince, I naturally believe that he will never do anything that will harm the country and the people!!"
Yang Wenyuan nodded.
"Since Prince Su has said everything to this extent, I have nothing to say!!"
I can only endure the anger in my heart and do the next best thing.
After all, the prince is still away, and there is more than just this opportunity.
If the prince fails to conquer the Xiongnu this time, then not only Liu Qi, but also Liu Yu will be able to take care of him.
In this way, there was no one in the court who could threaten Yang Wenyuan.
Only then did Emperor Qing finally speak.
"Do you have anything else to say, ministers?"
After the hall was quiet for a few seconds. Emperor Qing took a deep breath.
"Since there's nothing wrong, let's retreat!"
Yang Wenyuan stood up slowly with a gloomy face, and bowed deeply in the direction of Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
As the hall shouted in unison, the ministers walked out of the Weiyang Palace one after another.
Yang Wenyuan walked to the door and sighed unwillingly, feeling helpless and even more resentful.
He gritted his teeth and finally walked away.
After a while, only Emperor Qing, Laifu, and Prince Su were left in the lively hall just now.
"Uncle Emperor!"
Prince Su turned around with a surprised look on his face, and saw Emperor Qing lying directly on the dragon chair after calling him.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"I have nothing to do, let your uncle come up."
"Prince Su, the Emperor has asked you to come up and speak."
Prince Su hesitated for a moment, looking at the emperor's state, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but finally walked up.
"emperor."
When Emperor Qing raised his head, his face was pale and he looked very painful.
Prince Su was concerned.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I saw you when I first came in. You were fine!"
Laifu responded on behalf of the weak Emperor Qing.
"The emperor has been in poor health these past two days. If these ministers hadn't been forcing each other hard, the emperor would not have gone to court today."
"The reason why you seem to be fine is because before coming to court, the emperor took a pill, and just now the ministers were pressuring each other, and they were so anxious. In addition, after the effect of the medicine passed, the emperor's body was actually weaker than before. ”
But Emperor Qing smiled slightly and pushed himself up.
"It's okay, uncle, it's okay with me."
"Thanks to you for what happened to Qi'er this time."
Prince Su frowned slightly, not sure whether it was because he was worried about the emperor's health or because of what he just said.
"The veteran has not participated in government affairs for many years. I really didn't expect that Yang Wenyuan would control the court officials to this extent."
"I know the prince's character. He will never do anything that goes against the court. It is also my responsibility to protect the royal family members."
"Forehead..."
When he said this, Emperor Qing suddenly raised his arms and held Prince Su's right hand tightly.
"Uncle Huang is loyal to our royal family, and you will be in charge of it. I can rest assured."
"But you have also seen that the current situation in the court is very complicated, and my health is getting worse every day."
"Uncle Emperor, can I ask you something today?"
Prince Su's eyes widened and he suddenly froze.
beg?
The majestic emperor actually said the word "beg" to his minister? This made Prince Su very shocked.
"Your Majesty, I've said it before. Just follow your orders and I will spare no effort!!"
Emperor Qing nodded happily.
"I don't know if my body can survive until the prince returns. Now all the important affairs of the court are in the hands of Yang Wenyuan."
"Even if I can hold on, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to court to govern. Therefore, I hope that your uncle, Emperor, can take my place, take good care of those ministers, and protect my Liu family!!"
"Also, the most important thing is that we must definitely keep Liu Qi's position as crown prince!"
Upon hearing these words, Prince Su's body trembled suddenly.
Instead of me? How could the emperor say such a thing unless it was a last resort?
Is it a test?
To be honest, Prince Su's heart is very complicated, with fear, worry, and a faint expectation...
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I give up my life, I will keep my Liu family safe and sound."
"Even if his body is shattered, he will definitely ensure that Qi'er returns to Qingdu safely..."
However, Liu Qi today is not at all at ease.
Just because it was written in Lu Liang's letter to him.
Saruman has already negotiated with Hatir. As long as it is the day of the rebellion, the Huns will send 50,000 troops to support Saruman!
Fifty thousand, plus Saruman's soldiers, that's 110,000.
On my side, there are only nearly 30,000 people. Whoever Najir belongs to has only 80,000 people.
Just in terms of quantity, the superiority and inferiority are judged. How can we fight this battle?
