Chapter 278 Prince Rui Acts as the Official
Li Wuyang took out an imperial edict and read it aloud.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that if I am unable to manage affairs, Prince Rui Li Wuyang will act as the governor. I decree this."
Everyone present changed their expressions. Acting as the governor? Isn't this a regent?
This ruined their whole plan.
The people in the cabinet wanted to fight for the right to speak, and the scholars shared the world with the royal family.
The court officials wanted to compete for the merit of following the emperor, assisting the next emperor to ascend the throne, and taking their families to a higher level.
The fourth prince was the most anxious. He had finally come to this point and it became his only choice. How could he let others ruin his good fortune?
"Impossible, I don't believe it!"
Li Wuyang looked at him coldly, "Fourth Prince, do you mean this is a forged imperial decree?"
He turned the imperial edict around and held it high. "Take a good look at it. Is this fake?"
The emperor is in his bedroom, who dares to falsely convey the imperial edict?
Everyone knows this truth, but they are unwilling to see power fall into the hands of others.
The Fourth Prince looked at it several times and found it to be true, but he was very unwilling to accept it.
Regent, truly the one with all the power in the world.
"Uncle Nine, don't overthink it. I just feel that according to the rules, since Father is unable to manage matters, the Cabinet should take charge."
He clearly wanted it in his heart, but instead of saying it, he threw the cabinet out.
Li Wuyang had a stern face, was as cold as ice, and had a strong aura.
"The rules of Da Qi are all determined by the Emperor. If you have any opinions, you can report them to the Emperor."
Discount? What discount? The emperor is the greatest in the world.
Everyone was silent. The Fourth Prince rolled his eyes and was the first to stand up and support.
"Ninth Uncle, I fully support you and am happy to help you. Just let me know if you need anything."
He is flexible and knows how to adapt to the times.
Li Wuyang looked at him deeply and said, "There is one thing."
The Fourth Prince was shocked. "You say."
Li Wuyang said calmly, "The situation is chaotic now, and people are in panic. It's very easy for something to happen. I'll leave the Sixth Prince to your care."
The Fourth Prince's expression changed slightly. What did he mean?
"Ninth Uncle, I don't know how to take care of children."
Li Wuyang gave orders instead of discussing, and his attitude was firm.
"I'm asking you to look after and ensure the safety of the Sixth Prince's land. This is the most important thing right now. I'm placing such an important responsibility in your hands, and I hope you won't let me down."
The Fourth Prince's mind was racing. Was his uncle suspecting him?
Could he refuse? No, instead he had to keep an eye on the Sixth Prince at all times to ensure his safety.
This can be considered a test from the Ninth Prince.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoliu."
Xiaoliu is still a baby and can't compete with him, so there is no need to kill him.
He has no opinion, and others dare not express their opinions even if they have them.
After all, it is not the place for these court officials to complain about the emperor's decision.
Li Wuyang's gaze swept across everyone. Wherever his gaze fell, that person would feel pressured and a chill on their back.
He began to call out names, "Lord Yu."
"I am here."
Li Wuyang ordered, "You are responsible for fighting the epidemic, taking care of those infected with the epidemic, and bringing the epidemic under control as soon as possible."
An idea flashed through Yu Ge Lao's mind, and he immediately responded, "Yes."
Li Wuyang looked at his direct subordinates and said, "Li Qiu, you take the Imperial Hospital to assist Lord Yu."
"yes."
Lord Yu was startled and suppressed his thoughts. He couldn't let the Ninth Prince catch him.
Jiu Qiansui said he would kill people, and he did so without any scruples.
Li Wuyang looked at the other person, "Minister of War."
The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "I am here."
Li Wuyang said, "You are responsible for clearing out the thieves. You must check inside and outside the city and make sure they are clean."
"Yes." The Minister of War was very straightforward. This was within his scope of responsibility.
"Guyu, you go and assist the Minister of War."
"yes."
Li Wuyang then ordered, "Minister of Revenue."
The Minister of Revenue cupped his hands and said, "I am here."
"You are responsible for counting the casualties and handling the aftermath."
"yes."
"Lidong, go and lend a hand."
"yes."
…
Li Wuyang gave orders, one after another, in an orderly manner.
He had clearly arranged all the healthy court officials and dignitaries, and no one was idle.
No one dared to raise any objection.
The fourth prince looked on eagerly, filled with envy.
One day, he will command the world and make everyone submit to him.
Finally, Li Wuyang ordered, "Go and carry the Third Prince over here and place him in the side hall. The Chief Physician and the Ghost Doctor will be in charge."
The emperor doesn't have to worry. Even if he is infected with the plague, he has an antidote in his hand.
The Fourth Prince suddenly spoke up, "Uncle Ninth, I volunteered to take care of Father."
Li Wuyang raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise on his face. "You want to go in and serve the emperor personally? Fine, I'll take you in."
People are most vulnerable and sensitive when they are sick, and it is also the time when they are most likely to gain favor, and the emperor is no exception.
The Fourth Prince nearly choked on his own saliva. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm helping take care of Father's food and daily life."
He didn't want to risk infection, but he also wanted to cultivate a relationship with his father. He just wanted to increase his favorability outside the palace so that his father in the inner palace would know his filial piety.
Even if we find out something, we won't be willing to touch him.
Li Wuyang saw through his thoughts at a glance. He wanted it all but was unwilling to give anything.
"Don't worry about that."
He turned his head, his eyes softening instantly, "Yun Zheng, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are now in your care. Lichun will assist you."
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
I just got out of the palace turmoil and no one can be trusted.
"Okay, leave it to me."
The Fourth Prince was unhappy, "Uncle Ninth, why can Yun Zheng do this but I can't? She is a woman, and it's not legitimate."
Li Wuyang said meaningfully, "Yun Zheng's loyalty to the emperor is known to everyone."
"And you are the prince."
The only thing he didn't say was that he was afraid that the Fourth Prince, who was determined to seize the throne, would harm the seriously ill Emperor.
The Fourth Prince's face turned green, damn it!
Everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
Only the Fourth Prince stood in the yard, reluctant to leave.
Li Wuyang had too many things to do, so he placed his office in the first hall so that the court officials coming in and out would not disturb the emperor and the third prince who were recuperating in the second hall.
There are so many things to do, big and small, that he needs to control them.
The most urgent task is to deal with the rebels and prevent all future troubles.
Yun Zheng reorganized the Yangxin Palace and sent away those who needed to be sent away to ensure the emperor's safety.
Arrangements also had to be made for the seriously injured Third Prince, who had been stabbed in the chest, his heart veins were damaged, and he was still unconscious.
She was busy running around, and every time she went in and out, she could see the Fourth Prince sitting leisurely in the yard, which was really an eyesore.
This bastard does nothing but try to please others.
"Princess Jinyun, what's with that expression on your face? You seem very dissatisfied with this prince."
He was fearless because he was the only intact adult prince.
Yun Zheng was not intimidated and retorted, "Yes, if you are too idle, just find a place to sleep. Standing here is too much of a nuisance."
The Fourth Prince immediately said, "That won't work. I have to be with my father at all times."
Yun Zheng chuckled, "Then go in and guard it."
The Fourth Prince’s expression froze. No, he was afraid of being infected!
Yun Zheng shook her head. This kind of guy wanted to be the emperor. What a dream.
After an unknown amount of time, the ghost doctor's joyful voice was heard from the hall.
"The Emperor has awakened."
The fourth prince in the courtyard rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
The opportunity has come, he wants to put on eye drops!
