Chapter 57



No white hair allowed in the world

Anyone who has some understanding of the current situation in the world will understand that Yue Lingxi's enthronement as king is just a means for Yue Chengqiu to win over and appease the forces in Youzhou.

Strictly speaking, these three reasons why he "cannot be crowned" are indeed correct, and he does not meet the conditions for being crowned king!

All the civil and military officials in the court, including Yue Lingxi himself, were well aware of this, otherwise they would not have reacted in disbelief after receiving the letter from the capital!

The court's attempt to win over local forces was not something that could be brought to the surface. Everyone knew it, so they just had to find a plausible excuse.

But the Left Prime Minister's "three no-enfeoffments" disrupted all of this, putting Yue Chengqiu in an extremely passive position.

So immediately, officials from the Tian Ce Mansion stood up to refute it, but unexpectedly, the right prime minister and some officials seconded the left prime minister's proposal.

The court was suddenly filled with tension, with dozens of officials arguing with each other, their faces red and ears red!

But it's clear that Tian Ce Mansion can't gain the upper hand! Using something that can't be brought to the table to refute the reasons that can be brought to the table, any explanation will become pale and powerless!

Liu Buqi pulled Yue Lingxi beside him, and the two of them could only stay out of it at this time and place and must not be involved. This obviously involved the struggle between imperial power and regent power!

Moreover, through observation, it can be seen that the officials in the Taiyue court can be roughly divided into three camps.

The first is the Tian Ce Mansion officials. The second is the court officials loyal to the emperor. The third is the neutral faction who do not support either side.

The imperial power, which had been suppressed to the extreme by the former crown prince Yue Beiqiu, unexpectedly gained a lot of support in the court without anyone noticing!

It seems that Yue Lingxi’s coronation as king is now in jeopardy!

Yue Hua sat on the high platform, looking at the officials arguing with each other below, and slammed the desk in front of him!

"I'm tired. Since I still can't make any sense out of this argument, let's end the court session here today and discuss it again next time!"

Just as the Crown Prince Yue Chengqiu was about to say something, the eunuchs beside the emperor had already shouted "Return to the palace", and all the officials could only kneel down and shout "Long live the emperor".

Yue Chengqiu, whose plan was completely disrupted, looked at Yue Lingxi with a very apologetic look. After their eyes met, Yue Lingxi gave him a look that made him feel "reassured".

He immediately followed the direction Yue Hua left in! The emperor's sudden appearance disrupted all his plans!

Now he must try every possible means to get the emperor to agree to the proposal of making him king!

This is no longer about winning over Yue Lingxi and the Youzhou forces, but about his own prestige in the court!

Yue Lingxi came here in response to his own imperial edict. The entire court, including civil and military officials, knew about his enthronement as king. If he could not fulfill his promise!

How would the officials of the Tian Ce Mansion view him? How would the other officials view him? How would the people of the world view him?

As Yue Chengqiu left, Yue Lingxi, who was also lost in thought, grabbed the wife beside him and walked out of the hall first!

Regardless of whether they were pro-emperor officials, officials from the Tiance Palace, or neutral officials, they all turned their attention to the two of them.

To be precise, Liu Buqi received more attention!

On the one hand, it is because of her unique clothes and unique temperament.

On the other hand, the incomplete poem written by Liu Buqi in Wansheng Tower to comment on the two lists has spread throughout the capital, and no one has been able to complete the poem yet!

Many of the officials present here considered themselves to be scholars and scholars, so they had to do some research on it!

Judging from the current situation, unless Yue Chengqiu and Yue Hua completely fall out and use the imperial guards under their control to force the emperor to abdicate, there is little possibility of expecting the emperor to give in!

It seems that it is still unknown whether this suddenly emerging Youzhou Commander-in-Chief is powerful enough to change the "rules" in the court.

But the final outcome of this matter is most likely to be in line with a line in Liu Buqican's poem.

No gray hair is allowed to appear in this world!

On the issue of suppressing the feudal lords, both Yue Chengqiu and Yue Hua could easily reach a consensus!

Looking back at the fragment of "The Fox of Youzhou", it is hard to say that Yue Lingxi had no idea about this beforehand, if the Youzhou side had already made preparations for "when the birds are all gone, the dogs will be cooked"!

I'm afraid...

The chaos in the world is not just a dispute between the imperial court and the Marquis of Guannei!

No matter how the officials discussed what happened in the court today, Yue Lingxi just took Liu Buqi and left the imperial city without looking back!

It wasn't until Zhang Xiruo appeared before them with her guards that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief!

It would definitely not be that easy to crown a king, and there was no way the imperial court would crown him so early and let Yue Lingxi go back!

But unexpectedly, the person who popped up in the end was His Majesty the Emperor! This was far beyond Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi's expectations!

The reason why he left in a hurry after the court session ended without even bothering to get to know all the officials was because he was worried that the two of them would be detained in the imperial city!

"Buqi, it seems that the situation in the capital is far beyond our previous expectations. The plan must be adjusted. Don't return to the mansion for a while, leave the city and return to Youzhou to take charge!"

In the carriage, Yue Lingxi held Liu Buqi's hand and spoke calmly.

Looking at the man in front of him with burning eyes, staying in the capital now means unlimited risks!

"Lingxi, let's go together! We are weak in the capital, and the court is treacherous and changeable. Let's return to Youzhou and avoid this quagmire. We will work hard for a few more years and wait for the situation to change!"

Liu Buqi was reluctant to leave Yue Lingxi from the bottom of his heart! Although he knew that Yue Lingxi's suggestion was indeed the best way to maximize the benefits at the moment!

Before they entered Beijing, they had actually made preparations to be placed under house arrest in the capital, and had also made some backup plans, but these were all set up in preparation for Yue Chengqiu's sudden betrayal!

But no one expected that Emperor Taiyue Yue Hua would suddenly show up regardless of anything, bringing about earth-shaking changes!

At this time, someone must return to Youzhou, readjust the layout, and firmly grasp Yue Lingxi's foundation!

Otherwise, if there is any disturbance in the capital, Wang Changling will be caught off guard and someone will take advantage of him. Yue Lingxi will then become meat on the chopping board and can only be manipulated by others!

"Haha! If I don't stay in the capital and behave myself, I might be accused of leaving the capital without permission in a minute! Don't worry, as long as Youzhou is in our hands, I will be as stable as a rock in the capital!"

Yue Lingxi certainly knew that Liu Buqi was not unable to understand the situation, but was simply concerned about him.

So I hugged the person who had been with me for many years and was inseparable from me, and enjoyed a moment of warmth.

Tears suddenly welled up in Liu Buqi's eyes, "I'm scared... I'm really scared..."

The rest of the words were blocked by Yue Lingxi's gentle kiss!

"Lingxi, live! If you die, I will massacre the Taiyue royal family and then die with you!"

I don’t know how long it took.

Liu Buqi in the carriage had changed into the clothes of a Beijing woman. She quickly got off the carriage at a remote corner and walked towards the city gate alone.

She needs to walk the rest of the way by herself!
