Chapter 2 Summoning the Royal Guards and Lying in Secret



"I obey your order!" Ji Yuan bowed respectfully and then left the bedroom.

Li Yun slept very soundly that night.

On the second day, still no one came to take care of Li Yun's daily life.

Li Yun sent out his spiritual sense to detect and found that there was still no servant around the bedroom.

And inside the Golden Palace, the morning court session had already begun.

This was the first time in the history of the Dagan Kingdom that there was no emperor's morning court.

Even if the emperor was busy and had no time to attend the morning court, he would order people to cancel the morning court.

But today, there was no one sitting on the dragon throne.

Behind the dragon throne, a curtain fell, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen sitting on the phoenix chair, looking down on all officials.

His Majesty did not come out, and the Empress Dowager was behind the curtain, which caused some uproar among the officials.

"Eunuch Zhao, the time for the morning court session has arrived. May I ask where His Majesty is?" An old man in a red official robe, the third seat from the left, walked out and asked.

Chief Censor, Ding Yu.

At the side of the dragon throne, the chief eunuch Zhao Gao, holding a whisk, glanced behind him, then took a step forward and read out.

"Your Majesty is so happy to have ascended to the throne that he is seriously ill and cannot get up. He is recuperating in his bedroom and cannot attend the morning court for three days. However, Your Majesty feels that the government affairs are complicated and cannot be ignored. He has ordered that the Queen Mother govern the country from behind the curtain, with Prime Minister Li as his assistant. The two of them can discuss state affairs!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials began to whisper to each other in an uproar.

Ding Yu snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Dagan has been established for more than a thousand years, and there has never been a woman in charge of government. If your majesty is unwell, you can rest for a few days and suspend the court meetings. I am afraid that some people will take advantage of your young age and do something disobedient!"

The Golden Palace suddenly fell silent.

Several officials who had a close personal relationship with Ding Yu looked worried.

This old man is so brave.

The late emperor passed away yesterday, and Old Ding wanted to go to the palace to meet him, but was carried back by the imperial guards.

Today he is even more blunt, isn't this accusing the Queen Mother and Li Xiang of conspiracy?

Sure enough, Li Linfu, who was at the top of all officials, glanced at Ding Yu, and then looked behind him.

Immediately an official came out.

"I, the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Zheng, have something to report!"

"I report under my real name that the Chief Censor Ding Yu formed a clique to run private businesses, accepted bribes, and framed loyal officials. I hope the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Li will investigate!"

Ding Yu was furious. He glared at Zhang Zheng and shouted, "Zhang Zheng, you are framing me. Everyone knows that you are a student of Prime Minister Li. How can His Majesty listen to you alone?"

"I, Yang Niu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, report the Imperial Censor under my real name..."

"I, Wu Ma, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, report the Imperial Censor under my real name..."

"......" More than ten people stood up in a row.

This scene made Ding Yu’s eyes go dark and he almost fell down.

Li Linfu sneered and walked out.

"Imperial Censor Ding, one person was framed, but were all these high-ranking officials of mine framed against you?"

"Empress Dowager, I suggest that the Imperial Censor be detained first and dealt with later when Your Majesty is able to handle state affairs!"

"Yes!" A faint voice came from behind the curtain.

Li Yun, who was living in the palace, saw this farce clearly.
