Su Guogong believed that Nangong Wuming had eliminated his informants in the palace a while ago, and now deliberately sent people to assassinate Xuanyuan Xinglie, and then took this opportunity to install Nangong Wuming's own people as ministers - in this way, the power would be
Expand it several times, and then cooperate internally and externally to seize the throne.
Nangong Wuming also had the same idea as Su Guogong, but the person he suspected became Su Guogong. He believed that Su Guogong and the eldest prince Xuanyuan Aoyi wanted to take the palace into their own hands, so he arranged for someone to assassinate Xuanyuan Xinglie.
Su Guogong and Nangong Wuming, the two most powerful ministers of the Qinglong Empire, pointed their fingers at each other, vowing to entrust the position of minister to their own people and never give the other side a chance to take advantage of them.
After listening to Su Guogong, Nangong Wuming persuaded Xuanyuan Xinglie to appoint the minister of internal affairs as the internal minister, saying: "Your Majesty, I cannot escape the blame for my crimes. I thought that I could manage the palace guards and protect your majesty on my own.
However, it was my ignorance and arrogance that almost got His Majesty injured. Duke Su, General Nangong’s words are very reasonable, and please Your Majesty not to leave the post of Minister of Internal Affairs vacant..."
The ministers also persuaded Xuanyuan Xinglie to appoint a new internal minister.
After pondering for a while, Xuanyuan Xinglie said: "After the assassination just now, I really deserve to be an internal minister."
After listening to Xuanyuan Xinglie's words, Su Guogong and Nangong Wuming were about to recommend their own people, but Xuanyuan Xinglie suddenly said: "The position of internal minister should be filled by Nangong guards!"
Nangong guard? Who is it?... Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening, and then stared at Ye Xue in a daze.
Ye Xue also looked surprised, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you talking about me?"
"Yes, I'm talking about you." Xuanyuan Xinglie said: "Today I will grant you the title of first-class internal minister, assisting the internal minister of the bodyguard in managing the palace guards..."
"Your Majesty, no!" It was Nangong Wuming who exclaimed.
Su Guogong, Xuanyuan was so proud that he didn't say anything - Ye Xue was not from Nangong Wuming's group, and they were fawning over Ye Xue now, so of course they couldn't speak out against it.
"What's wrong with Nangong Aiqing?" Xuanyuan Xinglie frowned and asked.
Nangong Wuming Guozi said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the position of minister is not the same as the position of imperial guard. It is of great importance. How can it be handed over to a woman who is only thirteen years old..."
"My Highness does not agree with what General Nangong said." To the surprise of Su Guogong and Xuanyuan Aoyi, it was the second prince Xuanyuan Aochu who spoke for Ye Xue.
Hearing that Xuanyuan Xinglie was going to appoint Ye Xue as a first-rank internal minister, Xuanyuan Aochu almost flew up with joy.
Xuanyuan Aochu still remembers his confession to Ye Xue just an hour ago, and also remembers Ye Xue looking at him with bright eyes, and then reaching out to take his flowers (this was a beautiful misunderstanding), if...
...If Xuanyuan Xinglie had not been assassinated, Xuanyuan Aochu thought that he would have been with Ye Xue under the moonlight, expressing their affection to each other.
In Xuanyuan Aochu's eyes now, Ye Xue and he are already part of the same family. Ye Xue's things are his things, and Ye Xue's promotion means that he is promoted.
Xuanyuan Aochu looked at Nangong Wuming coldly, how could he tolerate Nangong Wuming taking away Ye Xue's chance of promotion.
"General Nangong may have forgotten!" Xuanyuan Aochu sneered somewhat proudly.
