Chapter 149 Usurping the Throne
Unexpectedly, this matter went so smoothly. When they all agreed and promised, they left together.
But for these old ministers, this night was destined to be a sleepless night.
After all, Lu Yan had mentally anticipated that these old ministers would defect to him.
Now he has a high voice among the people, and what happened to the imperial concubine and the queen mother is all thanks to Xu Luohan's heavy blow to them, but these ministers must have had a sleepless night.
They had never imagined that there would be such a turbulent situation in the court, but compared to the possibility that the emperor might be poisoned, they really did not expect that there really was a witch in this world!
If there really was a witch, then all their worries, whether the emperor was infected with a poisonous insect or anything else, would no longer exist.
Normally, they did not take these women seriously, but they had to admit that the important affairs of the court had always been in the hands of Master Xu. Even gaining the trust of the emperor was Master Xu's ability.
Moreover, if Master Xu had not exposed this matter, they would probably still be kept in the dark. Then when the imperial concubine's man becomes the crown prince, or when the imperial concubine once again controls Yunjin, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Now, no one would have thought that the witch who was famous throughout the ages was actually Xu Qingyin. Although they were very reluctant to let women attend court, even now, they had to admit that without them, all these things would develop in a worse or even devastating direction.
The next day, when Lu Yan told Xu Qingyin that she might go to court to become the imperial teacher, she was indeed very happy.
"I didn't expect you to actually fight for me! Then it will definitely be easier for us to do this in the future. Alas, if it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't want to be in this position either."
Indeed, His Royal Highness Prince Jing could understand Qingyin's thoughts. After all, this was her mother's position over there, and now he was occupying her mother's position. No matter what, it was understandable that she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't think so. Your mother would definitely be willing to let you take this position. Besides, coming here is better for both you and your mother. Besides, your mother has already sentenced him, but he was sent to prison and no further punishment was given. With me here to help watch over you, she probably won't suffer in there."
When talking about this, Lu Yan thought of the thrilling scenes in court today.
These ministers were reluctant to let Xu Qingyin go to court that night. When they learned that Xu Qingyin was also a witch, they tacitly did not report this matter, but they all tried their best to let Xu Qingyin take this position.
Although it was obvious that the imperial concubine did not want Xu Qingyin to take the throne, the emperor was really superstitious. When it came to the imperial teacher, he only trusted Xu Luohan.
Now that Xu Luohan was in prison, he had no way of letting her continue to serve as the Imperial Master. Even though she was Xu Luohan's daughter, it was a peace of mind for him. So although it took some time to talk, in the end, there was no big difficulty.
"What you said is true. I just don't know what we will face in the future. Will our lives become even more difficult..."
Seeing Xu Qingyin's somewhat sad eyes, Lu Yan didn't know how to comfort her, so he just changed the subject:
"Witch, don't be sad, and don't dwell on these things. All our worries have been resolved. What I'm thinking now is that since we already have our own plan, why not give Lu Zhou one last, hard blow?"
"What does all this mean?"
However, she felt that this was indeed the best time to give Lu Zhou a final, heavy blow.
After all, the emperor is now under the control of the imperial concubine. If you want to test whether he is completely under his control, just put the evidence in front of him and see how he reacts.
If he really has the poisonous insect, the effect of the insect will probably become stronger and stronger, and it will become more disadvantageous later.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that Lu Wei had just raped and killed a noble lady from the capital some time ago, and Lu Zhou had committed the same crime again. The imperial concubine had even murdered the empress dowager. Although the emperor had not made a direct judgment, the facts were already before us.
If they could deal them a heavy blow by exploiting some of Lu Zhou's mistakes, their future would definitely be smoother.
"Most of these ministers in the court had worked for the Empress Dowager before, so they had heard a lot about the Imperial Concubine. After all, those people were the Empress Dowager's grandchildren.
"At this point, they've all turned against us, so naturally, we have evidence against them. Lu Zhou's corruption, bribery, clique-building, and even disregard for human life are rife. It's enough to kill him 1 times."
"Okay, let me go first."
Regardless, this is indeed the best solution at the moment.
The next day, when Xu Qingyin went to court, he was just like Xu Guoshi as usual. He did not seem to have changed at all. He still asked Xu Qingyin very devoutly:
"Your mother has committed a crime, but I believe your abilities are definitely as great as hers. What big thing is going to happen now?"
I didn't expect that I always made a lot of psychological assumptions for myself on weekdays, but when I stood here, Xu Qingyin was actually very nervous inside, but it was completely invisible on her face.
She forced herself to remain calm and said something according to her plan that even Lu Yan was a little shocked.
"I wonder if my mother ever told me before I came here that something big might happen in the future, or maybe even something not so good?"
"That's why I want to ask you today."
"My mother's magical powers weren't strong enough a few days ago, and her health wasn't good enough either. Now I see clearly that this bad thing is really endangering you, Your Majesty!"
"How dare you! You can just say whatever you want!"
Seeing that he had angered His Majesty, Lu Yan quickly knelt down:
"Father, please calm down. Please listen to Master Xu's words first. If this is true, then the loss will outweigh the gain."
Seeing that His Majesty's temper had indeed calmed down a bit, His Majesty continued:
"Now I can see that there are people in our court who want to usurp the throne. Doesn't this have a direct bearing on His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhou was shocked!
Now the Queen Mother has passed away, his mother is in extreme danger, and his brother has been imprisoned. He didn't expect that this trick would be directed at him!
