Tang Yu leaned on the soft pillow. He had already changed his undershirt that was stained by the vomiting blood. However, the new white undershirt was not as white as the snow-white color exposed on the side of his neck.
The flaws do not outweigh the merits. Even though Liu Ziqing was dissatisfied with Tang Yu, he had to admit that this sickly emperor had some ability to bewitch people.
Although Tang Yu was not wearing imperial attire and even his black hair was loosely hanging in front of him, the nobility in his every move made it difficult for people to look down on him.
After hearing what he said, the sickly emperor suddenly smiled and looked at him intently and asked:
"Is it... Huo Cenji who let you in?"
"Of course." Liu Ziqing frowned, feeling that the emperor did not seem angry, but rather seemed to be questioning him.
But before he could think about it, he heard the sickly emperor muttering sarcastically:
"Heh...why did Huo Cenji let people in?"
"This is my place, why should he let others in?"
As he listened, Liu Ziqing felt like he had suddenly become a show-off who had stolen something from someone else.
wrong!
This is not right!
What on earth is he thinking about!
Liu Ziqing couldn't help but glance at Tang Yu. He saw that under the warm light, the young and frail emperor looked like a piece of exquisite but fragile porcelain. He lowered his head as if in deep thought, but a sense of brokenness and sadness emanated from his body.
Is he mourning the impending loss of imperial power, or is he sad about something else?
Liu Ziqing hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and after realizing that a trace of pity had arisen in his heart, he hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out.
After he left, the slender silver needle on the table felt a little lonely.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Tang Yu slowly raised his head. Seeing the rows of silver needles spread out on the table, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh, luckily I scared this guy away."
Otherwise, Tang Yu would have no way of imagining himself being pricked like a hedgehog.
The system also came out to flatter the host at the right time:
"Yes, yes, host, you are amazing."
However, Tang Yu was not so easily dazzled by a few words of praise. He looked at the system carefully and asked sharply:
"Tong, you...what's wrong with you lately?"
Is it possible that there is a problem with some program in the system?
Otherwise, why would the system keep praising itself? According to the normal reaction, it would take every opportunity to criticize itself a few times!
This is not right, this is totally wrong.
"Hehe..." The system laughed guiltily twice and quickly excused itself: "I just realized that we should form a united front."
Tang Yu said "Oh" half-believingly, and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he asked the system where Huo Cenji was and what he was doing, with the mentality of not wasting his time.
Sure enough, not only did the system not refuse, it also diligently called up the real-time footage of Huo Cenji—
The bright imperial study was crowded with many of Huo Cenji's confidants, who were now reporting to Huo Cenji on the current developments in the capital.
"Your Highness, although the left and right prime ministers have stayed indoors, they have quietly sent someone to deliver the letter." The tall general respectfully reported the latest news to Huo Cenji, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. This proved that the news passed by the left and right prime ministers was quite useful to them.
Huo Cenji sat on a white jade chair. He had changed out of the silver armor he had worn before and was now wearing a black robe with rolling cloud patterns embroidered on the chest and sleeves. Compared with the previous silver armor, the black robe now made Huo Cenji look even more mysterious and strategic.
He raised his eyes to look at the general and asked in a low voice:
"Will you surrender to me, or will you condemn me for treason?"
The general quickly shook his head, denying it with a smile, "How dare they speak of Your Highness in that way? Both parties came here willingly to serve Your Highness."
Now that the situation is settled, His Highness has brought 100,000 elite troops to surround the capital, so how could those cowardly civil servants come to die at this critical moment?
If they really dared to accuse Your Highness of treason, they would probably bring people to your house to question you without Your Highness giving any orders.
In his early years, the prince had quelled dozens of foreign invasions for the Daqi Dynasty. After the previous emperor's sudden death, he wholeheartedly assisted the young emperor, saving the Daqi Dynasty from decline. If the young emperor had not later been ungrateful and murdered him, how could the prince have ended up in such a state?
Therefore, no one would dare to easily put the words "treason" on the prince.
Seeing that the prince did not speak, the remaining confidants thought that the prince must be very satisfied with the attitude of the court ministers, so they said:
"Your Highness! The ministers of the six ministries are also willing to obey your orders."
"Your Highness! The same is true for the Hanlin Academy!"
…
Haha, Huo Cenji was not surprised at all when he heard this.
Now he is essentially putting an invisible blade to the necks of these people. Who would easily refuse the chance of life?
Now they don’t even know whether the little emperor is dead or alive, how dare they resist him?
Not to mention that many of them wanted to support him to the throne when the previous emperor passed away, so that they could easily gain the credit of being the emperor's successor.
So for those people, it's just a matter of time.
Perhaps because he was not surprised by the result at all, he had some time to think about Tang Yu.
Did Tang Yu know that the ministers he had tried so hard to alienate would so easily surrender to him?
