The First Empress - Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Checks And Balances
“You are all against me. How presumptuous are you? Do you want to deprive me of the wisdom of my Holy Judgment or do you want to reject me?” Huiqi knocked over the Golden Boshan Incense Cauldron beside him. Immediately, the entire Divine Advancement Hall went silent. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people shiver. Everyone kneeling in the hall looked at each other for a moment. Lan Zhenglin continued to kowtow, “Your Majesty, you must think twice before you act. Your Majesty, your courtesy cannot be crippled. Our dynasty ruled the world with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom. Since the founding of the Saint Ancestor Emperor, Zihua Palace has never had a concubine to do anything. Your Majesty, you must not open the first river!”

Lan Zhenglin, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears, giving off a look of loyalty. The Seven Kings Huiye clenched his fists and walked out of the class, but he still managed to hold back.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. On the other hand, Linglong also heard the exact same thing. “The Sacred Ancestor Emperor has not messed up his politics so far. If this lowly official is ill, I won’t be able to send her off too far away.” Wang Ruquan was truly unselfish. After giving the expulsion order, he had no intention of following Linglong to the previous dynasty to restrain Lan Zhenglin.

Linglong was furious, but today, she had no choice but to say, “Come, bring Lord Zaifu to Zihua City.”

Wang Ruquan opened his shining eyes and looked at Linglong, “What’s wrong with Empress Jieyu?”

“As an elder of the three dynasties, you can watch Mount Tai collapse in front of your eyes. This palace is just a woman of the Deep Palace and is much shorter-sighted than you. Although this palace’s knowledge is shallow, this palace understands that behind this matter is not the Impeachment Empress and this palace’s chaos, but-” Linglong grabbed Wang Ruquan’s chest. ‘”But, in order to bring down the son of heaven, Lord Wang Zaifu saw why he didn’t do anything to save his life! Although I am a woman, I do not avoid axes and axes. I want to know how wise the emperor was to grant such power to Lord Zaifu. Could it be that Lord wang Zaifu is also empty-handed! Watching these unruly officials and thieves run wild?”

After Linglong finished speaking, she still refused to let go. “Your Excellency knows how to be an official. For your own safety, you completely disregarded the chaotic politics of the previous dynasty. First, you are unfilial. Second, you are unjust. Third, you are unfaithful. It would be better for such an unfaithful and unfilial rascal to die of illness. However, you pretend to be in poor health. Someone came and arrest Your Excellency Wang Fu.”

“You, you!” Wang Ruquan suddenly stood up and pulled Linglong’s hand down from his chest. “I didn’t expect such a concubine with divine eyes like lightning to be beside the Emperor. Today, I promise you that I won’t let Lan Zhenglin disrupt politics! Even if I risk my life, I will still go and remonstrate.”

Linglong burst into tears of delight. “Has Sir agreed?”

Wang Ruquan said coldly, “The life and death of Gouli Country is not a good thing to avoid. This lowly official will accompany Your Highness to the front. This lowly official will definitely do my best to do this matter. Your Highness can rest assured.”

Linglong nodded her head, “Your Excellency, you will know what Lan Zhenglin means when you arrive at the previous dynasty. Elder Ge and Lan Zhenglin are the same people. Only Ge can always restrain Lan Zhenglin. I thank you here.”

As Wang Ruquan tidied up his clothes, he asked the servants in the mansion to prepare sedans before arriving at Zi Hua City.

Linglong was slightly shocked. Finally, Tang Ju had lived up to her mission. It was good that she had completed it. The danger just now was akin to trembling from the flames. However, regardless of whether it was fighting with a tiger or something else, the important thing was that Linglong had already succeeded.

Thus, Linglong and Zhu Qing tried to find a way to enter Zi Hua City. The Empress of Kun De Palace was sitting upright. Seeing Linglong’s eyebrows, she already knew the outcome of the matter. “It’s good that we’re here. I’ve also sent a message. Now that we’re not weak, it’s good to be at ease.”

Hearing this, Linglong was naturally relieved.

Ji Zhuhua said, “What did the king-assistant minister say?”

“Your Excellency said that he will do his best. It can be seen that your Excellency is a loyal and good official.” Ji Zhuhua faintly smiled after Linglong explained how she had shaken Wang-Fu-Chen earlier. “There’s no need to be afraid now. There should probably be no problem.”

The previous dynasty.

“I’ve already said it. Lan Zaifu, you’re worrying too much. I haven’t listened to a single slander since I came to power. Whether it’s the previous dynasty or the harem, I’ve never heard of you …”

Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Ruquan had already entered the Golden Royal Palace. “I beg Your Majesty to excuse me,” he said.

“It’s Lord King-Assistant Minister. Is Lord Assistant Minister feeling better? Get up and reply.” Hui Qi hurriedly asked Wang Ruquan to stand up when he saw the person. Wang Ruquan looked at Lan Zhenglin and could clearly see that the corner of Lan Zhenglin’s mouth twitched. “You and I are the saviors. You actually watched as the concubines of the harem messed up politics?”

Wang Ruquan was out of breath as he said, “Which one of your eyes saw the harem concubine messing up the politics? Why don’t you say it out loud? The nobles can also help the emperor and the prime minister to go through the details, right?” Lan Zhenglin didn’t know what to say, so he stammered and couldn’t say it.

Just now, Hui Ye was still filled with anger, but now his mood was much more relaxed. He scoffed and said, “That’s right, Lord Assistant Minister said that the harem concubine messed up politics. What kind of politics did he messed up?”

“Could it be that we still have to wait for the chaos to settle? Wouldn’t the chaos be a mess at that time?” Lan Zhenglin flicked his eyes at Wang Ruquan. Wang Ruquan kowtowed on the ground and said, “Anyone who supports this lowly official, stand behind this lowly official.”

After a while, a group of people heard that Suo Suo stood behind Wang-Fu Chen. Wang-Fu Chen coughed and said, “Your Majesty, take a look at the number of people. The minority obeys the majority. What do you think?” Hui Qilian hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed, his slightly curved fingers trembling slightly. After all, there were one or two more people standing behind Lan Zhenglin.

At this time, Huang Quan once again arrived at Kun De Palace. Ji Zhu Hua asked, “How is it now?” Huang Quan said the words of the minority obeying the majority. After that, Ji Zhuhua sighed repeatedly, “What are you saying? What a fool!”

Linglong frowned and asked, “What is the result now?”

“There are now two or three fewer people supporting Wang Zaifu than there are supporting Lan Zaifu,” Huang Quan said. “It looks like this time–”

“Let’s go take another look.” Linglong waved her hand and Huang Quan returned to the previous dynasty without stopping. Sure enough, it had already reached a white-hot stage. Lan Zhenglin sneered, “Right now, it is Zaifu Wang who said it himself. The minority obeys the majority. The Emperor counts. How many people are there on Zaifu Wang’s side? What about me?”

Hui Qi looked at it. Except for the two people behind him, There were still some people who were neutral. This was a very strong army. There were both their own people and Hui Ye’s people inside. Hui Qi had grasped a basic information about what happened today. Which of them belonged to Lan Zhenglin? On the surface, there were both civil servants and generals among these people. Moreover, the good and bad were mixed. They looked like a group of miscellaneous armies.

After the emperor finished counting, he was about to open his mouth, but Lan Zhenglin had already said, “There are 45 people behind me, and the emperor, take a look at how many people are behind me. There are only 43 behind me, and I have already made a judgement. The emperor, I said that the harem cannot be in chaos!” “Last time, I saw a concubine, a Jieyu named Bu Linglong. Afterwards, I heard from many sources that Bu Jieyu was a trusted aide of the Empress. Could it be that the Emperor really asked the Empress to put her trusted aide in the study room?”

Hearing this, Hui Qi’s hand tightened for no reason. His gaze coldly locked onto Lan Zhenglin’s tall body and he said with a heavy nasal voice, “Lord Zaifu has worked hard and accomplished a lot. He actually knew about these things with ease. I don’t know what to say.”

“Your Majesty, if anyone doesn’t know that they can’t do anything about it,” It seemed that Lan Zhenglin was reluctant to let go. Huiqi looked at Lan Zhenglin with a good grace and said, “Since you also said that if no one knows what to do, the harem will be in chaos. The question just now has come again. What kind of chaos did the harem have?”

Hui Ye also stared coldly at Lan Zhenglin. He had always thought that the Imperial Court was a war between him and Huiqi. He had never expected that there would be another Lan Zhenglin who could recover his strength. Furthermore, he could tell that Lan Zhenglin already had his own armed forces, which made Hui Ye even more angry.

Hui Ye held his hand tightly, wanting to echo the Emperor’s derogatory words, but after thinking for a while, it was fine. He could not show that he was too close to the Empress.

Lan Zhenglin didn’t know what to say anymore, but he stammered and stammered like that as he began to prevaricate.

“We can’t do anything at the last moment, can we? The harem has long been in a mess. Your Majesty, don’t let me down.”

Lan Zhenglin kowtowed repeatedly, as if he had done his best and died. Huiqi said coldly, “Whether it was good intentions or evil intentions, I will see it clearly. Now this matter has reached an impasse …”

“There is no impasse, Prime Minister Wang had just said, Your Majesty, don’t forget, His number is forty-three, The number of subordinates is forty-five, This lowly official is already far ahead, Then the emperor should do as I said. The empress and the concubine are in chaos. We need to capture them all. Your Majesty-“Lan Zhenglin’s eyes were filled with hope. Huiqi knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger, but Wang Prime Minister only smiled slightly.” Could it be that Prime minister doesn’t know how to count? ” Who said forty-five and forty-three? This lowly official has counted them and divided them equally. The two of us are exactly the same. What do you mean we’re far ahead of each other? ”

“Didn’t you, didn’t you just open your eyes and tell lies?” Lan Zhenglin’s chest heaved violently and his beard trembled on his lips. However, Wang Ruquan only smiled dramatically and said, “The Emperor and the Seven Kings also support me. Do you still want the Emperor and the Seven Kings to stand behind me?”

Hearing this, Lan Zhenglin’s expression suddenly changed. “Since that’s the case, then it’s Wang Fuchen who won. Actually, it’s nothing to talk about chaos.”

Hui Qi’s expression changed as he said, “Has Lan Zaifu figured it out now?”

Lan Zhenglin patted his head and said, ‘”It’s just that I was prepared for a rainy day. I remember that the Empress hasn’t been in a state of chaos since she created the Golden Book. I only hope that the Empress can continue like this. That’s also very wise. The Empress has come to the harem in an orderly manner over the years. As for the previous dynasty, it’s better not to interfere.”

Hui Qi smiled and said calmly, “Thank you, Zaifu Lan, for your concern. As well as the 44 people behind Zaifu Lan, I will remember them all. I will definitely reward Zaifu Lan properly. As long as Lord Zaifu is at ease.”

Lan Zhenglin smiled faintly and said, “When it comes to rewards, I don’t dare to ask for them. The ministers behind me all have their own opinions. The Emperor should not reward them.”

Huiqi looked at Lan Zhenglin and said, “I know what to do.”

At this time, Huang Quan was relieved and retreated to Kun De Palace. Linglong looked at Huang Quan anxiously and asked, “Eunuch, what’s going on now?”

After Huang Quan finished speaking, Ji Zhuhua slightly opened his eyes. A faint smile appeared in his beautiful eyes. “This is all thanks to Linglong. If it weren’t for Sister Jieyu’s haste, I’m afraid that I and Sister Jieyu would be prisoners now.” Hearing this, Linglong did not dare to claim credit, but she was already very happy that she did not receive the implication.
