Chapter 791
The one who walked in was Wan Xu who had been sent out by the emperor before, but after the empress dowager returned, the emperor called Wan Xu back and kept him by his side, and then sent Liang Shulin out.
Wan Xu is arrogant and arrogant. An arrogant person, of course, has some real skills. Wan Xu learned from the top martial arts master, Changhong Sword, and was appointed by the emperor after years of inaction.
He was beaten up by the Night King that day, which was the first setback in his life regarding martial arts.
In order to get rid of the previous humiliation, he has to redouble his efforts.
Therefore, the emperor mobilized him to surround the East Pavilion and not let the Empress Dowager go out. He actually felt that he was overqualified, because the Empress Dowager didn't bring anyone back. Two old women, do you want him to bring so many people?
However, the imperial decree was like this, so he had to follow the decree.
However, after staying in the palace for many days, he also witnessed the resolute methods of the empress dowager. She faced all the officials without any timidity. He can make a decision with his eyes. He feels that this is pure recklessness. She hasn't touched political affairs for a long time, so how does she know the current situation? To make a random decision, how many people have to be busy.
However, she seemed to ignore it, and those officials did not dare to speak out even though they complained.
Thinking of this, he planned to give the emperor a sigh of relief, entered the palace, and said arrogantly: "My minister greets the empress dowager, the emperor has a decree, the empress dowager is old, and it is appropriate to spend the rest of her life in the palace. If nothing happens, I ask the Empress Dowager not to go out."
The Empress Dowager had just prepared a decree, when she saw him coming in, she listened to his words quietly, her lips curled slightly, "If Ai's family wants to go out?"
"I also ask the Empress Dowager not to embarrass the humble minister, the humble minister is also acting according to the order." Wan Xu said.
Aunt A Snake glanced at the door, and said, "Your majesty is really generous. He dispatched dozens of forbidden troops to us two old ladies. No, the East Pavilion is tightly surrounded. Don't say it." People are dead, but even half a fly can’t fly out.”
Seeing that she seemed to be stepping out, Wan Xu said, "Auntie, please go back to the hall."
Aunt A Snake yelled, "Take care of yourself? This is clearly house arrest."
Saying this, she felt inappropriate again, "It's not house arrest, it's imprisoned."
She looked back at the Empress Dowager, "Why? Am I right? You don't have to go to court tomorrow."
"It's time to go!" The Empress Dowager said lightly, ignoring Wan Xu, and went straight into the inner hall.
Aunt Ah Snake chased her in, "Did you draw up a decree?"
Wan Xu backed out coldly, should he go? She can go out and talk.
Wan Xu led people and personally guarded outside the East Pavilion of Xiwei Palace all night. He wanted to see how she would go to the Jinluan Hall for the morning court.
In the East Pavilion, there was no movement. It seemed that the lights in the hall had been turned off very early, and no one had been seen coming in or out.
Early the next morning, Eunuch Lu got up very early to wait for the emperor to put on the dragon robe.
It was not what he wanted to challenge the Empress Dowager so openly, but he had no choice.
The old courtiers in the court still supported her.
He wants to announce at the Golden Luan Hall that from now on, the Empress Dowager will not care about government affairs.
Nowadays, there is no rule in Dazhou that the harem should not be involved in politics. However, when the ancestors opened the dynasty, they had established it. However, since Long Zhanyan established Huizu, this ancestor's rule has been invalidated. Now, he wants to invite it out again. The ancestor's decree suppresses the dragon's appearance.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, it is equivalent to breaking with the Empress Dowager." Eunuch Lu straightened his crown for him and reminded him softly.
"She forced me. Is it plausible that she came back to interfere in the government before I was dead? Is there no one in my Murong family?" the emperor said coldly.
Eunuch Lu sighed softly in his heart, didn't you force her to come back? How could the empress dowager be threatened so easily?
"Tell Wanxu!" The emperor said coldly.
"Yes!" Eunuch Lu bowed and went out.
After a while, Wan Xu strode into the hall, "I see the emperor!"
"Did there be any movement in the East Pavilion last night?" the emperor asked.
Wan Xu said: "If you go back to the emperor, there is no movement from the empress dowager's side, and she hasn't gotten up yet."
The emperor frowned, "Didn't get up? She said she would go to court early today, why didn't she get up?"
Wan Xu smiled, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager probably knew that she would not be able to go to the early court today, so she simply didn't get up to avoid embarrassment."
The emperor's eyes shot over coldly, "Bold!"
Wan Xu's expression straightened, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, but I don't mean that. I just think that the Empress Dowager retreated in spite of the difficulties."
"She will never retreat in spite of difficulties, so watch closely, no matter what tricks she plays, don't let her out!" the emperor warned.
"Yes, I know!" Wan Xu replied.
"Get out!"
Wan Xu bowed his hands and went out.
The emperor looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror, and felt that the red spots on his face seemed to have faded a bit, but they were still very obvious.
He called Mr. Lu, "Help me cover the red spots on my face, it won't be too obvious."
He can't let the officials know that his condition is getting worse, and he has taken the elixir, and he is more energetic. He wants to take advantage of today to finish all the things he has to do.
Eunuch Lu smeared some powder on him, but it couldn't cover the red spots, it just lightened the color a little.
"Your Majesty, you may be able to find the Regent Princess. Don't worry about conflicting with the Empress Dowager." Eunuch Lu couldn't help but said again.
The emperor glanced at him with a cold face, "You think I can't control her, do you?"
"No, this servant doesn't mean that. I just think that if the empress dowager is really offended, what should I do with the emperor's dragon body?" Eunuch Lu said worriedly.
The emperor looked sad, "There is no other way, her heart is cold, no matter what I do, she will not save me, it's ridiculous that I thought that after she came back, even if she was angry with me, she would not refuse to save her after all, she Now I don't even care about Lao Qi's life, if I don't give orders for the affairs behind me, I'm afraid this country..."
He said this, but he didn't feel happy. What's the point of doing this?
He is dead, no matter whose hands the throne falls into, what does it matter to him? Anyway, it will not be a person with a foreign surname, and this country is not left alone.
"Your Majesty, how about..." Eunuch Lu has been with him for many years, and he knows that he has wavered, "Why don't you admit your mistake to the Empress Dowager, and then... Didn't the Empress Dowager reveal it before, and she also did the same when the third prince ascended the throne?" Do you agree? After the Third Prince ascended the throne, you are still the Supreme Emperor, and nothing has changed."
He didn't dare to say the word abdicate.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly: "No, I will not abdicate."
San'er ascended the throne, he is indeed the Supreme Emperor, but don't forget that Murong Jie is still the regent, he forgot this before.
He shook the dragon robe on his body. Now, it was not just about the throne, he just wanted to tell her that she was no longer the empress dowager, and she could not cover the sky with her hands.
He strode out, and Eunuch Lu yelled, "The emperor drives!"
