Lin Yushu sat on the dragon throne with the curtains on both sides drawn. She looked at the hazy faces of the ministers below, which were unclear under the golden curtains.
Mu Chenyi knelt in front of her and looked up at her. He was the only one who was qualified to be here.
But there was a seat reserved for him on one side, but he was Lin Yushu's slave, how dare he sit there and slap Lin Yushu in the face?
So he knelt on the footstool beside Lin Yushu's dragon throne, holding the teacup high for his master.
Lin Yushu picked up the teacup and took a sip. Su Wuzheng called out from the side, "I have something to report. I will be dismissing the court at fifty."
He looked at the two people's condition and didn't dare to look up. He knew that what he saw today was enough to threaten his life. If he didn't obey Lin Yushu, he was afraid that in a few days, he, the leader of the Jinyiwei, would be thrown into a mass grave.
He lowered his head and knelt on the ground to show his submission to Lin Yushu.
A smile flashed in Lin Yushu's eyes, and he glanced at Mu Chenyi, who was kneeling respectfully beside him. "Look, my Lord Prime Minister, Wu Zheng knows the current situation much better than you do. Tell me, should I also give you a blow here?"
Mu Chenyi knew that Lin Yushu disliked him for being dirty.
He lowered his head. In fact, he had never touched that woman, but Ayu would not believe him.
A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"I have something to report."
Su Wuzheng took a look and said, "Minister of Rites Qi Zhao has submitted a petition to Your Majesty. Please approve it..."
Lin Yushu said indifferently: "Yes!"
When Qi Zhao heard Lin Yushu's voice, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. In his eyes, a woman like Lin Yushu who had come from such a dirty place should commit suicide to atone for her sins.
Not only did Lin Yushu refuse to apologize, he also stirred up trouble in the harem. Now he even sat in the solemn court, which was really an eyesore to him.
His brow furrowed even more tightly. "I have a memorial to make. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Your Majesty has recently passed away, and your will has ordered the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne. It is the Ministry of Rites that should prepare for the coronation ceremony. Please grant your approval, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister."
Lin Yushu kicked Mu Chenyi: "Answer."
Mu Chenyi still has to answer this kind of thing, otherwise, Lin Yushu will probably be criticized by thousands of people.
Mu Chenyi sneered, "Your Majesty's body is still warm. According to the etiquette of this dynasty, the emperor's body can be kept in the palace for seven days after his death. After seven days, months will be used instead of years. Preparations can only be made three months later. Sir Qi is so anxious. Is there some secret that he cannot reveal?"
His voice was full of energy, and Lin Yushu knew that this was a manifestation of his profound skills. She knew clearly that Mu Chenyi's identity was not simple, and he was not even a poor scholar.
But so what?
With her current strength, she can still control him.
A hint of coldness flashed in Qi Zhao's eyes. His Majesty was still young, so he naturally wanted His Majesty to have a good impression of them. After all, the young emperor would eventually rule the country himself when he was old enough. Once he did, neither of the two people above would have a good ending.
He awaited their end.
Lin Yushu gently lifted Mu Chenyi's chin with the tip of her toes, and then slid slowly. The pearl tassels on the tip of her toes rubbed against his neck, and Mu Chenyi felt a little difficult to breathe.
But he still tilted his head back and let Lin Yushu do what he wanted.
Lin Yushu chuckled lightly: "The country has its own etiquette system, so we should follow it. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the etiquette system of the world, but they actually did something so contrary to the etiquette system. I don't know what the Ministry of Rites thinks of etiquette."
Qi Zhao didn't expect Lin Yushu to interrupt him as soon as he opened his mouth. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
Women should stay in the harem peacefully. A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Showing herself in public like this is simply a disgrace to her.
What's more, she had been exiled to that place and should have spent the rest of her life in the royal temple with the Buddha and the green lamp. But she was willing to stay in the harem. If we talk about violating the etiquette, she was the one who really violated the greatest etiquette.
If Lin Yushu knew what he was thinking, he would sneer and tell him that it was the old emperor himself who wanted to do this back then, and he didn't ask for anything. It was disgusting that he could still blame everything on himself.
The Minister of Rites glared at Qi Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, it was Lord Qi who was reckless. The Ministry of Rites naturally abides by the rules of etiquette and will not violate them. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
He knelt in the center and said, "It's just that the coronation ceremony should usually be prepared three months in advance. Please allow me, Your Majesty."
Lin Yushu chuckled: "Sure!"
Since they want to prepare, Lin Yushu will naturally let them prepare.
The Minister of Rites heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they were allowed to prepare, it would be fine. This showed that Mu Chenyi had no other thoughts in mind.
Since he was the Minister of Rites, he naturally had to uphold the ritual system, so being loyal to the emperor was his duty.
Otherwise, how can we convince the people?
However, only the Queen Mother spoke, and the other regent did not respond at all. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Did Mu Chenyi not want to speak, or...
Will the relationship between Mu Chenyi and the Empress Dowager affect the Emperor?
If they join hands, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to defeat them, so what should they do?
Plan early or...
Su Wuzheng looked at the person sitting on the dragon throne and the one kneeling, and shouted resignedly: "If you have something to say, please stand up and report. If not, please leave the court——"
No one stood up to speak. Lin Yushu waved at Su Wuzheng, who immediately understood: "Withdraw from the court——"
All the court officials, including Su Wuzheng, retreated. Mu Chenyi looked up at Lin Yushu and said, "Master, do you want to be the emperor?"
Lin Yushu glanced at him, sneered, and pinched his chin: "Gu Yun, did you say anything?"
Mu Chenyi lowered his eyes: "It is my fault for being too talkative, please punish me, Master."
Lin Yushu chuckled and said, "Go to Su Wuzheng and get fifty lashes yourself."
Mu Chenyi and Su Wuzheng do not get along. Mu Chenyi has always looked down on eunuchs like Su Wuzheng. Su Wuzheng is so smart that he has long seen through his thoughts.
So the two people actually don't get along.
What Lin Yushu wanted was for them to be at odds with each other.
If they don't get along, Lin Yushu will be able to deal with it.
After she conquered Su Wuzheng, she also had to balance the relationship between the two, and also figure out how to deal with the little emperor.
The little emperor is not very capable, unlike her brother the crown prince, who is actually a good person except for his impatience.
As a prince, he is considered to be above average.
The little emperor, who was overambitious but incompetent, still had the nerve to blame her.
It seemed as if the abdication edict was not written by him.
