The First Empress - Chapter 253

Chapter 253 The Road To Empress

“The Emperor needs to get rid of Lan Zhenglin. It has not been a day or two. Your concubines are willing to help the Emperor, but it doesn’t seem that easy. Do you still remember what these gold medals look like?” Linglong said.

Huiqi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “I remember–”

Linglong gracefully smiled and said, “Your Majesty just remembers. When the time comes, the Emperor will ask Empress Han Xiuyi of the Shanggong Bureau to make five identical ones. Just say that they were left behind by the previous emperor and destroy them in public. From now on, the rumors will stop at the wise. Your Majesty will naturally rest easy. What do you think?” After Linglong finished speaking, she smiled gently. Huiqi had also thought of such a method.

However, he felt that there was one thing that was not easy to implement.

Linglong sighed, “Your Majesty is the True Dragon Son of Heaven. Your Majesty must be familiar with the matter of calling a deer a horse, isn’t it? As long as you say that no one dares to say no, the world will still belong to your Majesty. Everything will belong to your Majesty.” After Linglong finished speaking, she looked at Huiqi and said, “You mean to give Lan Zhenglin a head start? Now that we have Huiqi’s remnants, we only need an unfounded reason to kill Lan Zhenglin?”

Linglong smiled. “Your Majesty, I heard Han Qi say that Lan Zhenglin is not Hui Ye, and Seventh Prince is fearless. Naturally, his army is more tired and lazy, but Lan Zhenglin knows that he doesn’t have many chances, so the army in his hand is even more overwhelming, so …”

Linglong looked at Huiqi and calmly said, “Your Majesty, you can test it out first. You can’t be impatient about it.”

With Bai Yunqi and Moonshine Flower Shadow, the black shadow landed on Linglong’s body. Huiqi said, “What should I do?”

“Your Majesty, the best way now is to drink a cup of wine to release the military power. First, we need the Emperor’s men back, leaving them to a group of old and weak soldiers. Then, we will continue to replace Elder Lan’s men with old and weak soldiers. At the end of the day, the only way to win is to fight each other head-on. What does the Emperor think?” After Ling Long finished speaking, she lowered her head. Huiqi said, “Lan Zhenglin is not a general, and there is not a single general under him. These people were secretly nurtured. Even a cup of wine to release the military power is only to let Lan Zhenglin return to his hometown. Moreover, Lan Zhenglin is old and strong, so he naturally will not let this matter rest. Therefore, this method is not feasible.”

‘”Your Majesty, can you let me give it a try?” Linglong’s eyes were filled with demonic intent. “Leave these matters to me. I won’t have to pay a single soldier. Is that alright?” Linglong prayed a little. Huiqi caught the Green Ant Wine and pondered for a while. She knew that Linglong had never failed, but facing this old fox was her true enemy. She reminded him, “This person is extraordinary. He is smarter and wiser than the others. I’m afraid you will suffer.”

“This concubine naturally knows how to adapt to the situation in the woods. It’s good that the Emperor is at ease. When did this concubine do something that I’m not confident about?” Linglong did not show any charm in her movements, and she was extremely graceful.

Huiqi looked at Linglong and smiled, “You can give it a try. I will let Lan Zhenglin come to school for the Emperor’s son today. You can do it as you please.”

Linglong nodded. While talking and laughing, it was already time to eat. After Huiqi finished eating, she arrived in school for the Emperor’s son. Linglong arrived after a while. Lan Zhenglin had indeed arrived at this time. However, he did not expect that Lan Zhenglin had already anticipated it. Furthermore, he had already begun to prepare for the enemy’s side rate. All of this was almost unexpected to Linglong.

Lan Zhenglin walked in from afar and then knelt on the ground. Huiqi said, “Elder Lan, just get up. It’s just an ordinary meeting. There’s no need to greet Mian Jun.” Although Linglong felt that Lan Zhenglin was weird, she didn’t see what was weird. Lan Zhenglin walked in and said, “I have something to ask you for today. Please let me have your permission.”

“Elder Lan is a man of great virtue. If there is anything, just say it. I will not allow it.” Huiqi glanced at Linglong and asked for her opinion. Seeing that Linglong was also in school for the Emperor’s son, Lan Zhenglin couldn’t help but bow a little. Linglong smiled and returned a bow.

‘”How can this old minister be so virtuous? It’s just that the Emperor has picked up the flesh of a coffin. This old minister’s health has not been very healthy recently, so this old minister wants to step down, but I wonder if the Emperor will allow this old minister to do so.” Lan Zhenglin said “old minister” one by one. Actually, Lan Zhenglin was not old, but only by claiming to be like this could he make his words resounding.

Huiqi was puzzled, could such a good thing really fall from the sky? Huiqi didn’t know what kind of medicine Lan Zhenglin was selling in his gourd, Just as she was about to express her stance, Linglong used her eyes to warn Huiqi not to fall for the trap. Huiqi immediately understood and said, “Lianpo is old, but the country and temple still need old ministers. Even if it is a vacant post, there should still be a pavilion official. Besides you, there are only two pavilion officials in this dynasty. You can’t leave your post.”

Huiqi refused. Lan Zhenglin did not expect Huiqi to refuse him. His body trembled slightly as he looked at Huiqi and said, “The Emperor often sympathizes with the poor and compassionate with the elderly. Is this not the case now?” She looked at Linglong and said in a frightened tone, “Is there still someone who is trying to interfere with her? Is it against the Holy Judgment?” Hearing this, Linglong couldn’t help but be angry. Her pair of bright eyes also became even deeper. “Elder, you can go ahead. This matter needs to be considered for a long time.” Since she had already said that Linglong wasn’t good, Linglong didn’t care anymore. Her clear and clear eyes stared coldly at Lan Zhenglin in front of her.

Lan Zhenglin stood up from the ground and slowly retreated.

When Linglong saw that Lan Sou Yu had left, she looked at Huiqi with her starry eyes. “Does Your Majesty know why your concubine told Your Majesty not to do this?”

“I’m not sure,” said Huiqi. “But it’s a bit faster than a glass of wine. If he doesn’t have a job, it’ll probably be hard for him to make a comeback, won’t it?” Hearing this, Linglong smiled and looked at Huiqi. Her peerless appearance made Huiqi know that Linglong’s heart was full of thoughts. As expected, Linglong said, “If the Emperor agreed to him today, did the Emperor ever think about the consequences?”

Only then did Huiqi realize, “Could it be that he has a request?”

Only then did Linglong nod her head, and the corner of her eyebrows became slightly colder. She said, “What does the Emperor think his request is?”

Huiqi said, “Could it be that you want Lan Sou Yu to be the Queen in good faith?”

Linglong nodded, “Your Majesty, this can be considered a gift to us. When the time comes, we naturally cannot refuse. This is a courtesy. There will naturally be soldiers tomorrow. I don’t believe that Your Majesty will be able to wait and see.” Lan Zhenglin was much more difficult to deal with than ordinary people. He begged the Emperor to step down first. If the Emperor agreed, he would not be able to reject Lan Sou Yu’s wish to be the Empress, would he? ”

Huiqi patted the table heavily and said, “What he thought was very beautiful.”

“Whether it’s beautiful or not, you still need the Emperor to nod. The Emperor just doesn’t nod,” Linglong said. “His position is originally insignificant. Lan Zhenglin’s hidden influence is much smaller and more numerous than the few people in the court. The Emperor knows better than anyone else, doesn’t he?” Linglong sighed, “That’s why this concubine warned the Emperor not to agree. We can also properly investigate him like this. If he agrees to become a self-entertaining farmer, even if he rebelled at that time, the Emperor would not be able to get him wrong, right?”

Hearing this, Huiqi became even more furious and said, “Then, what exactly can we do?”

‘”Your Majesty, don’t worry too much. Let’s just look at the future. He is the first to be courteous and the last to be courteous. He naturally needs a soldier.” Linglong said. She glanced at Huiqi and said, “Actually, the Emperor should give her a high position. It’s just that Guan Wulu told her to be a complete puppet. This is the real way to stand.”

“Isn’t it too desperate? I’m not going to fight an unprepared battle.” Huiqi said, “Let’s take another look.”

Linglong nodded. As expected, on the second day, there was already a group of people lined up outside the Golden Royal Palace. Looking at them like long dragons, there were all six of them. Some of them came for Lan Zhenglin’s sake, some for Lan Suiyu’s kindness, and some for some money. These people claimed that Lan Suiyu had to be the Empress, and they felt threatened.

Huiqi was furious. He pointed at the people outside the Golden Royal Palace and said, “Are you rebelling? Lord Li of the Ministry of Justice, take these people away. These people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos!”

Lord Li had already rushed over. The officials suddenly knelt down. It was Lan Sou Yu’s father, Lan Zheng Lin, and Wang Ru Quan who were leading the way. The one speaking was Wang Ru Quan. “This old official pleaded with the Emperor to draw up a golden register and confer Lan Zhaoyuan the title of Empress. This is a great blessing for the common people.”

Huiqi just couldn’t understand why the upright Wang Ruquan would defect like this. Moreover, it made his heart uncomfortable to say such words. “Wang Elder, please rise. I will consider it. The harem is not impossible for the previous dynasty to make a mistake.”

“This subject is only for the sake of life. Why wouldn’t Your Majesty do anything to benefit the world by pulling out twelve cents?” Wang Ruquan asked.

Only then did Huiqi understand, He was merely asking for his name. This was clearly a threat. Huiqi’s dragon eyes moved slightly and he couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “All of you, stand up. I’m just joking with all the beloved ministers. The matter of the Empress needs to be considered for a long time. No one should make a ruckus. The morning court is over today. If you have anything to say, then continue tomorrow.”

Eunuch Lu’s duck voice had already shouted out the cut to retreat. Everyone looked at Huiqi with embarrassment. Lan Zhenglin waited until Huiqi was far away before saying, “Send Your Majesty respectfully-” Wang Ruquan had already walked over after he finished speaking. “I’ve helped you. If you continue to act recklessly, I will definitely risk my life to protect the people of the Realm.”

Lan Zhenglin nodded and said, “Please kneel down and beg again tomorrow. This is sending Buddha to the West.” Wang Ruquan coldly pointed at his face and said, “A knight can be killed but not humiliated. Help is only a point. The emperor already has a candidate in mind. Could it be that you really want to go against the heavens?”

“Heaven-defying, not heaven-defying. Let’s talk about it at that time. It’s still a bit early to talk about it now.”
