The news spread again and again from the mouths of hundreds of officials.
The whole world was shocked!
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the people could hardly believe this.
Is this still their foolish king who ignored government affairs for eight years?
Is the ghost possessed?
I can’t even imagine a new type of food that can produce forty shi per mu!
But no matter what, Xu Que did something good this time.
The people praised Xu Que one after another.
What ordinary people see is that Xu Que has developed a new type of crops that can feed the people.
As for those in high positions, they see more.
In an official residence, several middle-aged people were sitting around a stone table with solemn expressions.
"What do you think about this incident?" The middle-aged man sitting at the front of the table picked up the teacup and said slowly.
He is Xuanyuan Wanrong's cousin Xuanyuan Qiqi, and he is also one of the important ministers in the court.
As for the others, they are loyal supporters of the foreign relatives' party.
"Irrespective of whether these things were really created by the emperor, the fact that the old man, Minister of Industry, actually reported this matter in public shows that he has already sided with the emperor."
The middle-aged man at the head pondered for a moment and then said, "If my guess is correct, I am afraid that the emperor has already begun to seize power. This incident is just a test."
"In fact, in my opinion, it may not be a good thing for the emperor to suddenly wake up this time. If he can concentrate on government affairs in the future, it will not be a good thing for us in the Eastern Tang Dynasty." Someone defended Xu Que.
"madness!"
The middle-aged man at the head slammed the table and said sternly, "Have you forgotten how many things we have done to support the Queen over the years? If the Emperor is allowed to return to power, how long do you think it will take His Majesty to find out these things?"
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
Once the emperor is the same as the courtier, everyone here understands this truth.
If it were not for Xuanyuan Wanrong, even if Xu Que continued to ignore government affairs, the power would still be in his hands, and the courtiers would still serve Xu Que.
But Xuanyuan Wanrong happened to appear, and Xuanyuan Wanrong showed amazing ambition as soon as she entered the palace.
He tried every possible means and used all means to win over the courtiers and favored nepotism. He forced Xu Que to be sidelined and took control of the power of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Even before the two of them entered this world, the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty had reached the point where they only knew about Queen Xuanyuan and forgot about Emperor Xu Que.
Nowadays, whether it is opening a restaurant or researching and developing crops, it all represents the same thing.
The emperor once announced to the world that he was back!
"So according to what you see, how should this matter be handled?" someone asked.
Everyone was silent, their eyes met, and they all saw what the other person was thinking.
Their Emperor must never be allowed to return to power!
…
In the palace, Xu Que once again negotiated with Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"How about this, can you hand over the jade seal to me this time?" Xu Que said proudly, "I can easily earn a million taels of military expenses. Is there anyone in the world who is more suitable to be emperor than me?"
Hehe, when I get the jade seal, I will immediately depose you as the queen and demote you to a commoner!
When you are living on the street, lonely and helpless, I will go on a luxurious tour to show this woman my guard of honor as emperor!
Just thinking about it makes me feel happy...
"No." Xuanyuan Wanrong said lightly.
"Hey, this is right. We are two grasshoppers on the same rope now...wait what did you just say? No?"
Xu Que suddenly became angry: "You are such a dishonest woman! Did you promise to hand over the jade seal to me when you solve the problem?"
The jade seal is the emperor's order. Without the jade seal, Xu Que's imperial edict is completely useless.
He was able to mobilize the Minister of War only because of the Six-Ministry Order given by Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Xuanyuan Wanrong said calmly: "What you have done is not a plan for governing the country. Combined with your reputation in the world of immortality, all of this may be some deception. How can I trust you?"
Gan!
This woman is actually cheating!
Xu Que was so angry that he almost laughed: "Xuanyuan Wanrong! I didn't let you play like this!"
"What I said is the truth, not to mention... when did I say that as long as you solve the problem, I will give the jade seal to you?"
"Obviously I promised...well, this..."
Xu Que was suddenly startled.
Yes, this woman seems to have never promised herself at all...
"Okay! I'll blame you!"
Xu Que couldn't say anything for a long time, so he could only turn around and leave with his neck twisted.
Damn it, I have to find a way to make this woman spit out the jade seal.
Isn't it just because the courtiers listen to her? When I turn around and prove my ability, there are many ways to take the jade seal back!
He has investigated the current forces in the court and found that they are roughly divided into three groups.
A group of relatives headed by Xuanyuan Wanrong were the largest force in the court and firmly held power.
A group of people gathered around the old ministers of the former emperor, led by them, and vowed to defend the dignity of the royal family to the death.
The last group are the important ministers who are loyal to the court, such as Gong Qiwei and other young ministers.
This third group of people, to put it nicely, call good birds to choose trees to rest in; to put it worse, they call them grass on the wall.
Whoever is more powerful will side with you!
"Hmph, Xuanyuan Wanrong, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"
A smile appeared on Xu Que's face. If he wanted to deal with Xuanyuan Wanrong, he had to deal with these foreign relatives first.
Otherwise, any decision you make will be blocked.
"Damn, it's hard to change, but isn't it easy to make a stink?"
It’s time for you to see what it means to be an Internet troll who has experienced the era of information explosion!
On the second day, in the court hall.
Xu Que had just sat on the dragon chair, and before his butt was even hot from sitting, someone started to play.
"Your Majesty, I have this report!"
It’s Xuanyuan inspired!
Xu Que squinted his eyes and stared at him for a long time.
I was just trying to fuck you, but you actually came to my door yourself?
Xu Que secretly laughed in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Say."
"Your Majesty, there has been a severe drought for many years, the treasury is empty, and the people are in dire straits. This is probably due to divine punishment. I would also like to ask the emperor to issue an edict for sin, and ask God to forgive me and send heavy rain to alleviate the suffering of the people."
Sin yourself edict!
The officials immediately exploded!
Xuanyuan Qi's move was equivalent to directly putting the emperor on the fire.
The Sinner's Edict is equivalent to a letter of repentance, telling the people what mistakes they have made and praying to God for forgiveness.
If it were a wise king, it wouldn't matter if he issued an edict against himself, but if it were Xu Que...
He has done quite a lot of stupid things over the years. If he were to issue a criminal edict, it would be equivalent to exposing to the world what he has done over the years.
As a result, Xu Que's actions and newly established prestige will instantly fall to the bottom among the people.
At that time, Xuanyuan Qifa can continue to let Xuanyuan Wanrong control the government on the grounds that the emperor is temporarily unfit to preside over the government.
Xuanyuan Wanrong will not fall, and her relatives will live forever!
