Chapter 766 Engaging with Power 1
He deliberately did not ask Ye Jin to get up, and Jiu Qing pretended not to know, and just stood quietly beside Ye Jin. When he finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Xiang and Grand Tutor Zhan, with gentle eyes and a faint smile on his lips.
However, her eyes were too clear, as if she could see through all the thoughts in others' minds, making people unable to hide. Even the three old ministers who had been in the court for decades felt an indescribable pressure under her eyes at this time.
He stood up with his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude."
Jiuqing smiled softly: "The Prime Minister doesn't have to be nervous. If you have something to say, it's okay."
Su Xiang's eyes turned slightly and looked at Ye Jin: "This prince of Xiling, I heard that he had publicly announced his relationship with His Highness in the palace today. Is this clear about your Highness?"
"Gu is clear." Jiuqing nodded, "Gu can also tell the Prime Minister that what Ye Jin said is the fact, and Gu has already made a promise."
"His Your Highness promised him?" Su Xiang was surprised, "Your Highness wants to include him in the harem too?"
Jiu Qingweimo, if she told these three cabinet masters at this time that she had already planned to depose the emperor, would it be a blow to them?
Thinking of Zhan Qi and the other two who were severely punished today, Jiuqing gave up his thoughts and said slowly: "I do have this plan."
Maybe in a few days...it can be revealed to them slowly after the New Year.
"If this is true, the old minister has no right to interfere with His Highness's feelings." Su Xiang said respectfully, "But as the Prime Minister of the Southern Clan, I still want to say that since His Highness has decided to accept him into the palace, he should tell him the rules in the palace, rather than letting the prince of Xiling ignore the palace rules and not saying anything in the palace, but also speak in front of so many imperial guards, and openly expressing his love like a prodigal son in the martial arts world."
Jiuqing raised his eyebrows.
She knew very well that at this time, Su Xiang, Zhan Taifu, and Wen Jingshi had definitely known the whole story, and knew that Ye Jin was allowed to ride a horse in the palace, but he still mentioned this matter at this time, in fact, it was just for the little unfairness in his heart.
Regardless of whether Ye Jin was wrong or not, it was because of his appearance that the hostility and murderous intent of the three of them, which led to their attacks on him in the palace, and then a series of things happened later. It was also because of this that Zhan Qi, Su Muchen and Wen Suiyuan were punished and had to go back to the house to reflect behind closed doors.
Whether for the three of them or for their fathers, this incident will make them feel uneasy.
There are too many variables in the court, and now it is the critical moment of the alternation of power. The emperor is delegating power, and political affairs are slowly being handed over to Jiuqing's hands. This is the matter that everyone in the court is aware of.
During this period, Jiuqing has been cultivating and promoting some young upstarts. Zhan Qi, Su Muchen and Wen Suiyuan were originally people who were highly valued in front of Jiuqing, and they were also her appointed royal husband, so they had to be closer.
By taking advantage of the time before ascending the throne, they can also cultivate tacit understanding and feelings between each other.
