Chapter 30 Prime Minister Wood Forces the Palace
But the next night in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of officials looked at Prime Minister Mu, and the entire living room was eerily quiet.
Not long after, a man who looked like a military attaché said: "Prime Minister, have you already thought about it? This matter is a major U-turn and cannot be taken lightly."
"Yes, Prime Minister, although the emperor has shortcomings, he is a rare wise king. Do we really want to do this?" As soon as he finished speaking, another official continued.
"Don't talk. Let's see what the Prime Minister says. We are all promoted by the Prime Minister. We are what we are today because of the Prime Minister. No matter what the Prime Minister decides, we will just follow him." A man with a majestic face swept his finger.
Everyone looked at it and said calmly.
His words were quite majestic, and other officials nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the Prime Minister gives you an order, we will follow him to the death."
Looking at the officials present with his cloudy eyes, Prime Minister Mu slowly said: "Now they are using Ling'er's life to force me to compromise. I...sigh...the mastermind behind this teamed up with Concubine Lan to force me to make a decision.
…”
Everyone in the imperial court knew that Prime Minister Mu loved his daughter as much as she loved her, so they naturally understood his current state of mind and all offered words of advice.
"But, Prime Minister, even if we do this, what should we do with General Weiyuan? Although he is stationed at the border, he is quite prestigious in the army. If the time comes, he..." After sitting in silence for a long time, someone suddenly raised the question
solved this problem.
Someone immediately said: "General Weiyuan, he will turn to Prince Rui when the time comes. After all, his sister is Prince Rui's concubine..."
"Since everyone has decided to follow me, let's agree that at this time tomorrow..." Prime Minister Mu slowly looked at everyone, took a long breath, closed his eyes and said, "Rebellion!"
Everyone in the living room stood up together and knelt on the ground, "I will follow the Prime Minister to the death, and I will never waver!"
Prime Minister Mu slowly knelt on the ground, and a line of turbid tears flowed from his closed eyes, "Your Majesty, I deserve death!"
Prime Minister Mu followed the late emperor to conquer the world, and promised him before his death that he would assist the current emperor Mo Zhengxuan. However, he did not expect that he would be forced to rebel for the sake of his daughter!
"Prime Minister, now that you have made up your mind, there is no way out. If you give it a try, you may succeed." Seeing the guilty look on Prime Minister Mu's face, someone said firmly.
"Yes, Prime Minister, now that we have come to this point, we must make up our minds."
"Prime Minister, don't worry, as long as you give the order, we will definitely follow you to the death."
…
Prime Minister Mu wiped the tears from his face, with a firm look in his eyes, and looked around everyone, his voice was extremely heavy, "Okay, then we will act according to the plan just now, everyone go down and arrange it, everything is safe!"
The night is getting heavier and heavier.
After the housekeeper saw off the officials, he looked at Prime Minister Mu with a worried look and said, "Prime Minister, we have no way to turn back now."
"For Ling'er, I risked my life." Shen Chen sat on the seat, Prime Minister Mu's face was numb.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
But in the palace, Shangguan Youlan was nestling in Mo Zhengxuan's arms with a charming and shy look on her face, her voice was as soft as water, "I frightened the emperor, I feel very sorry."
"Lan Fei, as long as you are fine, I am very happy to see you wake up." Mo Zhengxuan's eyes were always as gentle as water.
Shangguan Youlan had been in coma for three whole days, and he stayed with her for several days without sleep, with his heart still hanging. Now that Shangguan Youlan unexpectedly woke up, Mo Zhengxuan was naturally very happy.
"By the way, Your Majesty, where is Princess Rui? This hairpin was given by her, so she must be suspicious of her..." The two of them were tender for a moment, and Shangguan Youlan raised her eyes to look at Mo Zhengxuan, with worry in her eyes.
Mo Zhengxuan was stunned, "Concubine Lan, you were poisoned because you were wearing the hairpin given by Princess Rui. The princess has been detained in the prison..."
"Your Majesty, the princess has been misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with her at all. Please ask the emperor to order the princess to be released." Shangguan Youlan's eyes were anxious, "Your Majesty, it may be that I accidentally ate something.
, then the hairpin is always worn on the princess’s head, how can it quench the poison?”
Mo Zhengxuan's eyes tightened, and there was doubt in his voice, "Concubine Lan, are you telling the truth? Are you sure this matter has nothing to do with Princess Rui?"
"Your Majesty, please quickly order the princess to be released. The princess is so fragile, how can she bear the pain of that day in prison?" Shangguan Youlan had a charming face and gently shook Mo Zhengxuan's arm.
Mo Zhengxuan was still filled with doubts, "But..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, Prime Minister Mu and a large group of people have surrounded the palace gate..." Before Mo Zhengxuan could finish his words, he saw his personal eunuch running in in a hurry.
He said breathlessly.
"What?" Mo Zhengxuan suddenly stood up from the bed, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
The eunuch rarely saw such a stern Mo Zhengxuan, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the guards at the city gate have come to report that Prime Minister Mu has led a large group of people to surround the palace gate. It must be, it must be, forcing the palace!"
Shangguan Youlan's face turned pale, and she lost her voice and said: "Forced into the palace? Do you mean that Prime Minister Mu is going to rebel?"
"Yes...yes..." The eunuch carefully glanced at Mo Zhengxuan, who had a gloomy look on his face, and replied stutteringly.
"Your Majesty..." Shangguan Youlan struggled to get up from the bed, threw herself into Mo Zhengxuan's arms, and cried: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."
Mo Zhengxuan slowly pushed her away and said to her as usual: "Stay well in the palace and don't run around. I'll come just to see you. You don't have to be afraid. I'll be there for you in everything."
After saying that, Mo Zhengxuan hurriedly walked out. The eunuch who reported the news hurriedly saluted Shangguan Youlan and followed him hurriedly.
Seeing Mo Zhengxuan's figure gradually disappearing, Shangguan Youlan's frail expression gradually faded away, and she coldly ordered the maid next to her, "Go out and inquire politely. Once there is any news about Prince Rui, come and tell us immediately."
I!"
After giving the instructions, a cruel smile gradually appeared on Shangguan Youlan's face, and the fun was about to begin.
But he said that Prime Minister Mu led a large group of troops to surround the palace, but he could not make up his mind to attack the city gate. After all, he had been loyal all his life, but now he wanted to do such a rebellious thing, and he still couldn't bear it.
"Prime Minister, if you don't give the order, the emperor will mobilize the guards of the nine cities. By then, our power may not be able to resist." Seeing that Prime Minister Mu was still hesitating, someone immediately reminded him.
This person's words were immediately echoed by several officials behind him.
Now that they suddenly rebelled, they originally wanted to catch the palace off guard. If they hesitated any longer, Mo Zhengxuan would use fireworks to summon the guards of the Nine Cities, and then the chance of winning would be very slim.
Prime Minister Mu's eyes gradually became firm, and he waved his hand, "Okay, now follow my orders and attack the city gate!"
As soon as Prime Minister Mu gave the order, dozens of soldiers carried huge wooden stakes and hit the city gate again and again.
The ancient city gate made a dull sound under the impact of wooden piles, as if it could be breached at any time.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the struck city gate, and they waited with bated breath.
Time after time, the sound of wooden piles hitting the city gate seemed to ring in everyone's heart.
Just when everyone was expecting the wooden stakes to knock the city gate open, the city gate suddenly opened slowly. The soldier who hit the city gate obviously did not expect such a change. He actually froze on the spot while carrying the wooden stakes.
It was not reflected.
All the officials were immediately on alert and stared at the city gate intently. Prime Minister Mu's heart skipped a beat as he stared at the city gate closely.
Mo Zhengxuan's figure suddenly appeared at the city gate, still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his face was still gentle and elegant.
"Prime Minister Mu." After standing still, Mo Zhengxuan called out to Prime Minister Mu steadily.
Prime Minister Mu was shocked, and he quickly got off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, old minister..."
He didn't want to rebel, but after all, he couldn't bear to see his daughter killed.
"Prime Minister Mu, I came out this time just to tell the Prime Minister that Princess Rui has been released from the prison a long time ago. If the Prime Minister wants to see her, you can come with me to see her." Mo Zhengxuan's voice was as usual, without any hint of anything.
Strange.
Prime Minister Mu suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: "Ling'er has been released a long time ago?"
"Prime Minister, you must never believe the emperor's words. Once you enter the palace, you will be detained. Our rebellion will be meaningless." Seeing that Prime Minister Mu seemed to have been shaken by Mo Zhengxuan's words, someone immediately came to see him.
Said softly from behind.
Prime Minister Mu was shocked, and the surprise that originally rose in his eyes slowly subsided, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, and forgive me for not believing the Emperor's words for a while. If Linger is really released, then please forgive her, Your Majesty."
Let it out."
"Okay, since the Prime Minister refuses to believe what I say, I will ask someone to ask Princess Rui to come out now. The Prime Minister can rest assured now." Understanding Prime Minister Mu's worries, Mo Zhengxuan smiled lightly and said.
His eyes slowly scanned the people not far away, and a faint sense of loss and helplessness arose in his heart. These originally loyal ministers suddenly turned against him and came to force him to marry him.
If he didn't obey, it would probably cost him his life, right?
Suddenly, Mo Zhengxuan felt very lonely, and a faint chill rose in his heart.
After a moment of confrontation, the eunuch who had just hurried into the palace hurried out again and whispered something to Mo Zhengxuan. Mo Zhengxuan's face gradually turned pale, "What did you say?"
