With the emperor's kindness in promoting him, he would definitely not be bribed by just a few Prime Minister Liu.
Sometimes high officials and generous salaries are useless, but a woman's tears and charm can make his steel soften.
After thinking about it for a moment, Su Mo came to a conclusion.
When Liu Xiang saw that Su Mo had exposed them, he immediately became angry and said, "Gu Zhao, why are you so nagging? When the new king comes to the throne, you will be the Minister of War. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he raised his knife to put it on Su Mo's neck.
Just as Su Mo was about to take action, there was a sudden "buzz" and a crisp "ding-dong" sound. Gu Zhao suddenly stepped back. The knife in his hand fell out of his hands. The blade and handle broke and fell to the ground. The arrow went out. The momentum was so strong that it was nailed to the ground all of a sudden, and Gu Zhao almost fell to the ground.
The emperor looked at Liu Xiang coldly, "A bunch of idiots, do you think that my palace guards are so weak and incompetent that they can take control of the Qianqing Palace and put me under house arrest by just bribing a commander of the imperial guards?"
Yue Shaochen's men have been secretly protecting him, especially in such troubled times, and he is now his most trusted general.
Liu Xiang looked at Zuo Shangshu and said anxiously: "Master Zuo, what are you waiting for?"
He cupped his hands towards the emperor. Although he was scared, he straightened his back and said: "Please don't be anxious, Your Majesty. I know that the guards of Qianqing Palace will not be so weak, but General Yue, who has never been defeated in a hundred battles, is probably the one your Majesty relies on." Just rely on it.”
He chuckled and waved his hand proudly, "Now that General Yue has won over Mr. Zuo, he also feels that His Majesty is old and suitable to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor to take care of his old age."
Su Mo looked at the trembling blade on the ground, then glanced at Zuo Shangshu and Liu Xiang, and finally focused on the emperor. This change seemed a bit fast, and the emperor did not expect it. He promoted Zuo Mingrui and Liu Xiang again and again. Yue Shaochen just wanted to build an unbreakable barrier for himself, with both civil and military skills that he could rely on.
The emperor's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, "Zuo Mingrui?"
Zuo Shangshu knelt down slowly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am here."
The emperor sneered, but he was not completely panicked. He remained sober and calm, "Tell me if it is true."
Zuo Mingrui was promoted by him single-handedly. It turned out to be just a small move, but he became a prime minister. In the past twenty years, the emperor and his ministers shared weal and woe, and the emperor always regarded him as a confidant.
