The news once again spread from the mouths of the hundreds of officials.
The entire world was shocked!
The people were discussing this matter, the common people almost unable to believe this matter.
Was this still the incapable ruler who had ignored the affairs of the court for eight years?
Had he been possessed by a ghost?
A new crop that could produce forty stone per mu, they did not even dare to think about it!
But no matter what, Xu Que had still done a good deed this time.
The common people sang praises for Xu Que.
What the common people saw was only that Xu Que had developed a new crop that could fill the common people's stomachs.
As for those in high positions, they saw even more.
In an official residence, several middle-aged men were sitting around a stone table, their expressions serious.
"What does everyone think of this matter?" The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table raised his teacup, speaking slowly.
He was Xuanyuan Wanrong's paternal uncle, Xuanyuan Qifa, similarly one of the important officials of the court.
As for the others, they were loyal supporters of the relatives.
"Let's not talk about whether or not these things were really the work of the Emperor, but that old Minister of Works actually reported this matter in public. This means that he is already standing on the Emperor's side."
The middle-aged man at the head of the table pondered for a moment before speaking, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the Emperor already has the intention to seize power. This matter is only a test."
"Actually, in my opinion, the Emperor's sudden awakening this time may not be a bad thing. If he can focus on the affairs of the court in the future, it is not necessarily a bad thing for our Eastern Tang." Someone defended Xu Que.
"Fool!"
The middle-aged man at the head slammed the table, saying harshly, "These years, in order to support Her Majesty, have you all forgotten how many things we have done? If the Emperor regains power, how long do you think it will take for His Majesty to investigate these matters? "
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
A change in ruler, a change in officials. This was a principle that everyone present understood.
If there was no Xuanyuan Wanrong, even if Xu Que didn't care about court affairs, the power would still be in his hands, and the officials would still serve Xu Que.
However, Xuanyuan Wanrong just had to appear, and Xuanyuan Wanrong just had to show astonishing ambition the moment she entered the palace.
Thinking of all sorts of methods, using all sorts of methods, roping in the officials of the court, appointing people through favouritism, he forcibly made Xu Que a mere figurehead, controlling the authority of the Eastern Tang.
Even before the two of them had entered this world, the entire Eastern Tang Kingdom had already reached the point where they only knew Empress Xuanyuan, and had forgotten about the Emperor, Xu Que.
Now, whether it was opening a restaurant or developing crops, it all represented one thing.
The previous emperor was announcing to the world that he was back!
"In everyone's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?" Someone asked.
Everyone was silent. Their gazes met, and they all saw through each other's thoughts.
They could not allow their emperor to regain his power!
…
Within the palace, Xu Que was once again negotiating with Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"How about it, can you hand over the jade seal to me this time?" Xu Que said proudly, "To be able to easily obtain a million taels of military expenditure, who in the world is more suitable to be the emperor than me?"
Hehe, when I get the jade seal, the first thing I'll do is to abolish you, the Empress, and demote you to a commoner!
When you're wandering the streets, all alone and without anyone to rely on, I'll go out on a grand tour, and let this woman have a taste of my Emperor's ceremonial army!
Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy …
"No." Xuanyuan Wanrong said blandly.
"Ai, that's more like it. The two of us are grasshoppers on the same rope … wait, what did you just say? No? "
Xu Que was instantly enraged, "You woman, you're not trustworthy! Didn't you say that you'll hand over the jade seal after I solve the problem? "
The jade seal was the Emperor's order, without it, Xu Que's imperial edict was basically useless.
The reason why he was able to mobilize the Ministry of War's Minister was because of the transfer order given by Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Xuanyuan Wanrong said lightly, "Everything you've done can't be considered a strategy to govern a country. Combined with your reputation in the World of Cultivators, all of this may be some petty tricks to deceive and deceive. How can I trust you?"
F * ck!
This woman is actually acting shamelessly!
Xu Que was so angry that he almost laughed, "Xuanyuan Wanrong! You can't play like this! "
"What I said is the truth, moreover … when did I say that as long as you solve the problem, I'll hand over the jade seal to you?"
"You clearly promised … uh, this …"
Xu Que was startled.
That's right, this woman didn't seem to promise me …
"Fine! You win! "
Xu Que couldn't say anything for a long time, so he could only stiffen his neck and leave.
Damn it, I have to think of a way to make this woman spit out the jade seal.
She's just relying on the fact that the court officials listen to her, when I prove my ability later, I'll have a way to get the jade seal back!
He had investigated the current power in the court, there were roughly three groups.
The first group was led by Xuanyuan Wanrong, this group of people was the most powerful in the court, firmly holding the power.
The second group was led by the previous emperor's old officials, who swore to defend the dignity of the royal family.
The last group was the important officials who were loyal to the court, such as Gong Qiwei and the other young officials.
To put it nicely, this third group was like a fine bird choosing a tree to rest in, to put it bluntly, they were fence-sitters.
They would stand on the side of whoever had the most power!
"Hmph, Xuanyuan Wanrong, since you're so heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust!"
Xu Que's face revealed a smile, if he wanted to deal with Xuanyuan Wanrong, he had to first deal with this group of relatives.
Otherwise, any decision he made would be obstructed.
"Damn it, it's not easy to become good, but isn't it easy to ruin it?"
It's time to let you see what it means to be an internet troll who has experienced the information explosion era!
The next day, in the court.
Xu Que had just sat on the dragon throne, and before his butt even warmed up, someone came up to present a memorial.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"
It was Xuanyuan Qifa!
Xu Que narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a long time.
I was just thinking of messing with you, and you actually came to me yourself?
Xu Que snickered in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Speak."
"Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty, and the people have no way to live. I'm afraid it's caused by the wrath of the heavens. I hope Your Majesty can issue an edict to ask for forgiveness from the heavens, to send down heavy rain to alleviate the suffering of the people."
An edict to issue an edict!
The officials immediately burst into an uproar!
Xuanyuan Qifa's move was equivalent to directly roasting the emperor on a fire.
An edict to issue an edict to tell the people what wrong they had done, and to ask for forgiveness from the heavens.
If it were a wise emperor, it wouldn't matter if he issued an edict to issue an edict, but if it was Xu Que …
He had done a lot of stupid things over the years. If he issued an edict to issue an edict to issue an edict, it would be equivalent to announcing to the world what he had done over the years.
In this way, Xu Que's actions and the prestige he had just built up would instantly fall to the bottom of the valley among the people.
At that time, Xuanyuan Qifa could continue to let Xuanyuan Wanrong control the court with the excuse that the emperor was temporarily not suitable to manage the court.
As long as Xuanyuan Wanrong did not fall, the relatives would live forever!
