Chapter 529: Opposition from the Ministers
When the ministers heard that the emperor had appointed Yue Fuli as regent and asked her to lead the court officials to handle government affairs, they were all dumbfounded.
Especially the minister who had just stood up and asked the emperor to punish Yue Fuli, he thought he was dreaming.
What did he hear?
The emperor actually wanted to appoint a teenage girl as regent. This girl hadn't even grown all her hair yet, and she was supposed to be the regent and command all the court officials.
Are you kidding me?
I don’t know what the emperor was thinking. Why would he let a young girl be the regent?
Compared to the others, Luo Ming thought more. He thought about Prime Minister Ye's death, so he was very suspicious of Yue Fuli's actions. Otherwise, the emperor was not stupid, so why would he give up his power?
As for Yue Fuli's ability, it was indeed good, but that didn't mean she was qualified for the position of regent. The ministers in the court were all old foxes, and if she wasn't careful, Yue Fuli would be eaten by them without a trace left.
However, he did not remind Yue Fuli. He wanted to see how he would deal with these old foxes in the court.
As for the other ministers, after being shocked, they all looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
Those inquiring looks made the emperor very unhappy.
Don't think he doesn't know. These old foxes all think he is a fool. They actually delegated such power to a teenage girl.
Did they think he wanted to? Wasn't he helpless? His life was in Yue Fuli's hands, what could he do?
To be honest, these ministers and his subordinates are useless, otherwise how could he be controlled by Yue Fuli?
He's not really stupid. Wouldn't it be nice to hold power in his own hands? Why give it to others? Isn't that the only way?
Therefore, facing the questioning gazes of the ministers, the emperor asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!" One of the ministers knelt down first, looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, how can a little girl like Yue Fuli be the regent? Please reconsider."
With one person taking the lead, the others immediately started to speak up, "Your Majesty, Lord Wen is right. Even if Your Majesty wants to delegate power, you can't give it to a little girl. With so many ministers in the court, who can Your Majesty give power to?"
"Your Majesty, you must not be so foolish. Yue Fuli knows nothing. This is going to harm our dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
All the civil and military officials in the court, except Yue Fuli, knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to revoke his decision.
The emperor looked at the ministers in the hall, then at Yue Fuli, the only one standing, and said, "Lord Yue, all the ministers disagree. What do you have to say?"
"Kill him!" Yue Fuli uttered these two words lightly, which immediately made all the civil and military officials in the court extremely angry.
They all turned their heads and glared at Yue Fuli fiercely, saying, "You are so cruel and always want to kill. How can you be worthy of the position of Regent?"
"If I'm not worthy, then who is? Could it be you? It's not that I look down on you, but you're all good-for-nothings. Besides talking nonsense and scheming against each other all day long, what else can you be capable of?"
"Have you seen the people being displaced? Have you seen the soldiers at the border starving? No! You are all blind and can't see anything. You only know how to fight for power and profit, framing one today and plotting against another tomorrow."
