A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1970 Standing in line, I hate to express my opinion in public

The emperor was unprepared and launched the attack hastily. Apart from being unexpected, he did not have any advantage at all. Under such circumstances, how could the emperor be a match for Wang Jinling, who had been on guard for a long time?

At least Fu Lin didn't think that the emperor could defeat Wang Jinling, especially after Wang Jinling had already guessed the emperor's moves.

A multifaceted spy like Fu Lin was most afraid of expressing his stance, but the current situation forced him to do so. That day, Wang Jinling's words to him were not just casual remarks, but each sentence had a deep meaning.

The military power is in the hands of the Ninth Prince. Even if the Emperor is now on the throne, he won't be able to stay on for many days. Wang Jinling didn't say this directly, but the meaning of what he said that day was this.

Fu Lin sighed softly and looked at the emperor silently, thinking about what to say.

Before Fu Lin could speak, the emperor realized something was wrong. His expression turned stern and he asked sternly, "Master Fu, do you also think I'm sick?"

The emperor was not as calm as he appeared. Fu Lin's betrayal gave him a bad feeling. As Fu Lin thought, the emperor knew that this was not the right time, but he had no choice.

Without any preparation, he suddenly launched an attack. Although the risk was great, he still had a 50% chance of winning. Of course, this 50% chance required Fu Lin's support. As an emperor, all the ministers in the court did not listen to him. He could only let anyone do things for him.

The retired emperor never thought that Fu Lin would betray him. He had already labeled Fu Lin, and if he fell, Fu Lin would not have a good ending either. He didn't expect Fu Lin to go against him at this critical juncture.

Without control over state affairs, the retired emperor would not be able to sit on the throne, let alone adjust the military and consolidate power before the Ninth Prince arrives.

The support of Fu Lin and other ministers for the retired emperor is particularly important.

The emperor stared at Fu Lin, waiting for his answer. All the civil and military officials in the court also stared at Fu Lin, waiting for his answer.

Although there are many factions in the court, they can be generally divided into three factions. The first is the Ninth Prince faction headed by Wang Jinling, the second is the neutral old ministers headed by the Prime Minister, and the last is the Emperor’s faction headed by Fu Lin.

Wang Jinling was powerful, but Fu Lin and the prime minister could also compete with Wang Jinling in the court. The officials of the prime minister's faction were always neutral, and they would work for whoever sat on the throne.

No matter what, the emperor needs people to do things, no matter who is the emperor, they can be used. The people of this faction have considerable power in the court. However, no one has ever touched them, and even the emperor has never thought of taking action against the people of the neutral faction, because the people of this faction will not get involved.

The emperor's greatest reliance in the court is Fu Lin. He has supported Fu Lin a lot over the years, but what is the result?

Fu Lin's performance disappointed the retired emperor, and he felt cold in his heart. Even his most loyal ministers did not believe in him. Could he still control the government?

“Hahaha…” The Emperor sneered: “Well, well, well, what a good Lord Fu, I finally understand today.”

Fu Lin looked helpless. He didn't want to answer or to break up, but no one was willing to let him go. He knew that no matter what, he had to make a statement today. Otherwise, not only would the emperor not let him go, but the ninth uncle would not let him go either.

"The Emperor." Fu Lin knelt down slowly and kowtowed three times respectfully to the Emperor. All the ministers in the hall looked up at Fu Lin, but no one dared to speak. They all looked at Fu Lin quietly to see what he would say.

Fu Lin did not keep everyone waiting for long this time. After he kowtowed, he said, "I will never forget the love and support that the Retired Emperor has shown me. Without the Retired Emperor's trust in me, I would not be where I am today. Everything I have today was given to me by the Retired Emperor."

The words of gratitude made the retired emperor look a little better. He was a grateful person. If Fu Lin betrayed him, he would be criticized by the world, but...

Fu Lin changed the subject: "I am loyal to Dongling and to Your Majesty. I am willing to expand the territory for Dongling, and I am willing to fight for Your Majesty in the north and south to unify the country, but... Your Majesty, you are old."

Fu Lin spoke the last three words in an extremely heavy voice, his voice even choked with sobs. He bowed his head to the ground and refused to lift it up for a long time.

"You... are so bold." The retired emperor felt as if he was stabbed by a sword. His right hand was pressed tightly against his heart and his left hand was tremblingly pointing at Fu Lin. His face, which was gradually showing signs of aging, had bulging veins and was completely bloodless. He seemed like he would fall on the dragon throne at any time.

Inside the hall, hundreds of people gasped, their faces turning pale with fear. They couldn't believe that Fu Lin had the guts to say such words.

The emperor is old, so he has no ambition or aspirations.

The emperor was old. So Dongling was in his hands for decades, and the territory did not expand at all.

The emperor is old. Even if Dongling is the leader of the four countries, the other three countries dare to provoke.

The emperor is old. So... as soon as the Ninth Prince took over, he pointed his sword at Ye Ye and destroyed Chu City and Tai City. Looking around the world, no one dared to challenge the national prestige of Dongling.

The emperor is old. He doesn't have many years left to live. Even if he is reinstated, how many years can he be emperor? These ministers support the emperor's reinstatement now, but what about five or ten years later?

When the new emperor ascends the throne, they will be the ones to be slaughtered and liquidated. The heads that fell to the ground in the vegetable market two years ago are the best proof of this.

The Ninth Prince was never a soft-hearted person. Even if the Emperor was restored to the throne, he could not do anything to the Ninth Prince who held the military power.

The Ninth Prince was younger than the Emperor. Even if the Ninth Prince outlasted the Emperor, he could outlast him.

Your Majesty, you are old.

These six words were like a basin of cold water, which sobered up those who were originally wavering and wanted to go with the flow and support the emperor emeritus; and made those officials who were labeled as the emperor emeritus party understand that they could not be confused anymore. If they continued to be confused, not only would they be in trouble, but their families would also suffer.

The officials kneeling on the ground couldn't stand up or stand up, and they were all sweating profusely. What else should they do?

Wang Jinling had seen enough of the show. He moved slightly, took a step forward, looked at the pale face of the retired emperor, and smiled faintly, "Retired emperor, the emperor is young and cannot stand the sight of blood. Please ask the retired emperor to return to the palace first."

After saying that, without waiting for the emperor to speak, he clapped his hands lightly, and a group of black-armored guards rushed in from outside the palace: "Come here, escort the emperor back to the palace."

The appearance of the Black-Armored Guards means that Wang Jinling is fully capable of regaining control of the Forbidden Palace.

At this time, strength is paramount.

The black-armored guards ignored the emperor who was sitting on the throne and took the little emperor from the eunuch. The little eunuch refused, but as soon as he started, he was caught by the black-armored guards. The old eunuchs beside the emperor wanted to protect him, so they didn't dare to move at all. They could only watch the black-armored guards carry the little emperor away...

The hostage is gone!
