Chapter 53: Little Cannon Fodder, Big Dreams (6)

Li Lian never dreamed that one day he would become the candidate for the crown prince.

He learned about the relationship between men and women from his governess when he was 13 years old, and he was hooked from then on.

His biggest wish in this life is to have money and beautiful women.

God is so good to him, he has everything when he is born.

Unexpectedly, God was even better to him and wanted to make him the crown prince.

Li Lian was kneeling beside Emperor Wu's bed at this moment, with an expression on his face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Emperor Wu was lying on the bed. Seeing him like this, he frowned in disgust. If the master had not said that he had extraordinary luck and was a person with the same dragon luck as him, he would not have considered him as a candidate for the crown prince.

Now that he is not feeling well, it is a good opportunity to see if he is really a person with dragon luck as the master said.

"If you don't understand something, go ask the Grand Tutor. Never act on your own. Do you understand?" Emperor Wu had reminded him of the same thing several times, but he still couldn't rest assured.

Li Lian didn't know that he was so despised by his own father, so he kowtowed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely ask the Grand Tutor for more advice."

Seeing his stunned look, Emperor Wu closed his eyes, waved his hand in disgust, and asked him to leave.

"Father, please have a good rest. I will take my leave."

Li Lian quietly retreated from the Yangju Palace, trotted all the way to the palace gate, and rode his horse at full speed back to the prince's mansion.

He hasn't taken today's antidote yet. The time set by Mu Yan is almost here. If he misses the time, everything will be gone.

He is going to be the crown prince soon, so he has to live well.

Keep your life and become the emperor, and skin the little bitch who fed him poison.

Mu Yan was lying on the chaise longue with her eyes closed, resting. Li Lian's flattering voice came into the room through the doors and windows.

"Ma'am, may I come in?"

"Come in," Mu Yan said lightly.

Li Lian pushed open the door and walked in respectfully. Seeing the pills on the table, he picked them up and swallowed them skillfully.

Muyan raised her eyelids and glanced at him lazily. In the past, after Li Lian got the medicine, he wished he could put hot wheels on his feet and fly out of her room.

Today, it was strange enough that he didn't leave in a hurry. He also had a sense of awkwardness all over his body, which made Mu Yan frown.

"Just tell me if you have something to say."

Li Lian smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not a big deal. Today, my father asked me to enter the palace and supervise the government. I might become the crown prince."

Mu Yan's eyes were fixed on Li Lian, and her tone was casual, "So, you think that since you are the crown prince, you can rebel against me. If you really become the emperor in the future, will the first thing you do after taking the throne be to kill me?"

Li Lian's worries were exposed, and his face turned pale.

"No, no, I just wanted to tell Madam the good news. Now that Madam knows, I'll leave first."

After saying this, Li Lian wanted to slip away quickly.

But before he could move his feet, he felt a numbness in his neck, his whole body became weak, and he fell to the ground.

Mu Yan raised her foot and kicked the man who had just fainted on the ground, "You useless thing, if you were to be the emperor, the enemy would attack, and if you can't defeat them within a month, you would have to surrender to the enemy with the imperial seal."

Maruzai: "If the enemy army is made up of only beauties, there's no need to fight, just surrender."

Li Lian: ...

The next day, at dawn,

Mu Yan appeared in the court with a face that resembled Li Lian's. "From today on, I will temporarily take over the government affairs on behalf of my father."

As soon as the words were spoken, Mu Yan could imagine the expressions on the faces of the old men in the hall without even looking.

"Why would the Emperor let him take over government affairs temporarily? He's lost the First Prince and the Fourth Prince, and at worst, there's still the Eighth Prince."

"Yes, an eight-year-old knows more than him."

"It can't be that he has put the emperor under house arrest,"

"this……"

"He doesn't have the guts to do that!"...

The old tutor, who was silent in the crowd, frowned when he heard what these people were talking about. It was not because their words were disrespectful, but because he never expected that the emperor would call him over yesterday to ask him to tutor Li Lian.

Everyone in the Jin Dynasty knew what kind of person Li Lian was.

Asking him to handle government affairs is tantamount to forcing a child who can't even speak to recite the Three Character Classic.

absurd.

It's ridiculous.

"quiet,"

The eunuch saw the unhappy look on the face of the person next to him and shouted in a shrill voice.

He had been serving Emperor Wu since he was a child, and he understood the emperor's heart better than anyone else.

If the third prince fights a little harder, the position of crown prince will be his.

To put it further, his next master is the one who will show his ability. If he doesn't show his ability now, when will he show his ability?

Sure enough, the hall quieted down, and the eunuch saw Muyan's frown relax, and then he heard her ask,

"Is there any latest news on the disaster in Wuyi County today?"

"My Lord, Wuyi County suffered a severe drought last autumn, and the people's harvest was nearly 70% less than in previous years. This year, we've been hit by floods. As of today, Wuyi County has been experiencing heavy rain for half a month, and there's no sign of it stopping."

After the Minister of Revenue finished speaking, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He was afraid that the people above him would not understand what he said and would give him a hundred strokes of the cane. Then he would be even more wronged than Dou E.

Mu Yan was silent for a while, then looked up and saw the Minister of Revenue looking like he was about to piss himself with fear, and sneered secretly.

"The people of Wuyi County have suffered this year. Your Majesty is the most compassionate person to the people's suffering and certainly cannot bear to see them suffer like this."

"Today, I will make the decision on behalf of my father and exempt Wuyi County from taxes for three years. What do you think?"

After these words were spoken, the hall was silent for a long time, until the old master exclaimed,

"Your Majesty is merciful,"

The court officials then joined in the shouting.

"Your Majesty is merciful."

In the morning courts for the next few days, Muyan dealt with several serious issues one by one.

After half a month, the old tutor saw that Mu Yan was no longer as cold and sarcastic as before, and he regarded him as a promising talent.

Seeing that he had come to his senses and turned back, she had a vague idea of ​​marrying her daughter to him.

Emperor Wu was in Yangju Palace, but he knew every move of Mu Yan clearly.

At this point, he had completely regarded the master's words as the will of God.

He never imagined that this idiot Li Lian would one day do something like this.

After Mu Yan dealt with the disaster in Wuyi County, he was enthroned as the crown prince the next day.

The old emperor's health is getting worse day by day, and all the affairs of the court are now completely handled by Mu Yan.

The purpose of Mu Yan doing all this is not to make that loser Li Lian the emperor, she wants to be the one in power herself.

As soon as the old emperor passed away, Muyan sat on the throne in front of Li Lian's face.

As the queen, she would also appear in the court when the emperor was occasionally unwell, and would openly convey the emperor's will and also express her own opinions truthfully.
