When Empress Dowager Lu Zhi heard the voices of the ministers, she stood there in a daze with an embarrassed look on her face.
Didn’t they discuss this with Lao Ai last night?
Let us attack the emperor together today.
Why did everyone suddenly change their minds?
He also pointed the finger directly at himself.
Can she speak out about the national crisis and Zhao Feiyan?
She can't.
Because once she spoke, she did not get any effective response from the ministers.
Eventually you will fall into a passive position.
By then, he would really be Ying Yuan's scapegoat.
If those things were first said by the ministers, and her ruling the country from behind the curtain was also proposed by the ministers.
Then its political significance is different.
In fact, it was not only Lu Zhi who felt depressed.
Even Ying Yuan was speechless.
Just now, he was very excited.
I am ready to face the spit of my ministers.
However, no one dared to stand up and accuse him of wrongdoing.
Is it because of his status as emperor that they are afraid?
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan had no choice but to speak out, "Your Majesty, you have come at just the right time. I have something to discuss with all of you ministers.
Recently, I personally appointed a woman from the mortal world as my concubine. This matter caused an uproar both in the court and among the people.
You may speak freely about this matter in this palace, and I am all ears."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers turned pale and looked a little at a loss.
No one expected that His Majesty would take the initiative to speak about this matter.
If I object, I am afraid that His Majesty will remember it the next moment, and if I make a mistake in the future, I will lose my head.
But if I don't speak out, since His Majesty said it himself...
It's really a dilemma.
At this time, Lu Zhi's face looked extremely ugly.
She sat on a chair next to the dragon throne.
Looking at the actions of the ministers, he already understood what was going on.
These ministers in the court obviously do not want to go against the emperor.
Aren’t they very much in favor of me ruling the country from behind the scenes?
Why did it become like this?
How did Lao Ai do things?
And that emperor really has a cruel heart.
He actually chose to speak out about that matter first.
In this way, even if there are mistakes, it will not be a big deal in the eyes of the officials.
This move of cutting off the source of the problem is truly ruthless.
Cai Jing was the first to speak up, "This is the emperor's private matter. As his subjects, we have no right to interfere."
This is a standard answer.
If he still stood on the opposite side of Ying Yuan, he might have said, "The emperor has no private affairs."
As Cai Jing finished speaking.
Many ministers did not dare to oppose this matter.
Some even agreed.
This made Ying Yuan confused.
I am speechless.
He glared at Cai Jing fiercely and muttered, "This old man, doesn't he always like to oppose me? Why is he speaking for me this time? Why is he speaking for me?"
The latter also noticed the gaze he was giving him, stroked his beard and smiled slightly.
What he meant seemed to be, Your Majesty, I think you should still be able to accept my answer, right?
Please rest assured that I, an old minister, will stand firmly with you.
Please just work hard.
Ying Yuan looked at the other person's face, which was indifferent yet somewhat arrogant.
I was immediately furious.
he...
What does this mean?
Is it intentional?
Could it be that he guessed what I was thinking?
So you insist on making things difficult for me?
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan clenched his fists tightly.
On the first day of traveling through this world, I felt that this old man was not a good person!
Now it seems that I really guessed it!
So infuriating!
In the end, Zhao Feiyan's affair remained unresolved.
Because no one dared to run into the emperor's gun.
If the ministers in the court knew Ying Yuan’s true thoughts.
I guess he would have been fulfilled long ago.
But they did not know that the emperor, who was usually high and mighty, actually only wanted to be a tyrant.
......
The meeting dispersed.
Empress Dowager Lu Zhi left the court with a sullen face.
Needless to say, she lost today's battle.
afterwards.
Lu Zhi invited Cai Jing and Qin Hui to the harem.
Through a gauze curtain, the former asked them, "As far as I know, you have always been reluctant to let Your Majesty take power. Why, in recent days, have you been so obedient to Your Majesty's wishes?"
She knew very well that if she wanted to compete with Ying Yuan in the future.
It is necessary to understand the thoughts of both the left and right ministers.
They were all shrewd people who had been in the court for many years, so they could naturally understand the empress dowager's hidden meaning.
After a pause, Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Queen Dowager, it's time to learn to let go of some things. Only by leaving the Great Qin in Your Majesty's hands can the Great Qin become strong."
Hearing this, Lü Zhi snorted coldly, "Rely on him? If he really had the ability, half of our Great Qin would not have been swallowed up by the enemy."
Cai Jing sighed.
He knew that no matter what he said, the Queen Mother would stick to her own opinion.
At this time, Qin Hui said, "Empress Dowager, it's not that you don't have the opportunity to rule the country from behind the curtain. You just need to wait for the right time. At the very least, during this period of national crisis, it's best not to mention this matter again."
After a long time, Lu Zhi's voice was heard, "Forget it, we will discuss it later."
"The Queen Mother is wise."
After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom.
