Chapter 156 The fish is dead and the net is broken, everyone is confused

A month later.

a new Year.

Tiandou Palace, Shangchao Hall.

'Xue Qinghe' has eyes like stars and stands elegantly in front of the throne.

She held one hand in front of her and the other behind her, with a faint smile on her lips.

Facing the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty, she showed no signs of timidity.

The ministers' eyes focused on her, and they heard her say loudly: "Father, the dragon body is ill and needs to rest for a while."

"All affairs of the empire are currently being handled by this palace. Do you have any objections?"

As time went by, the signs of Xue Ye's poisoning became more and more obvious, and various adverse symptoms began to appear in his old body.

Not one of the famous healing soul masters or the doctors present could figure out Xue Ye's true situation.

The news of Xue Ye's illness, spread by caring people, was like a breeze, blowing into everyone's ears naturally.

Therefore, most of them were not surprised by the words spoken by 'Xue Qinghe'.

And in order to completely control the Tiandou Empire.

It's not just about getting rid of a sick old man.

Those real powers must be tightly held in hand!

At present, Xue Ye trusts him, and he has gradually corrupted most of the people present...

The smile on the corner of 'Xue Qinghe's mouth became even stronger.

"Little pervert..."

"Your hegemonic territory is almost half finished..."

"Wait a moment..."

In the depths of her eyes, a flash of deep-seated love flashed away.

But she was still waiting for the civil servants and military officials who had come to her side to raise their hands in agreement.

An inappropriate voice suddenly resounded through the hall.

"I have objections!"

"His Royal Highness is young and promising. It is undeniable that he has indeed done a lot of practical things for our empire."

"But..."

"His Royal Highness is still not fit to be in charge of the affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

In an instant, 'Xue Qinghe's' smile gradually disappeared like an iceberg melting.

She turned her attention to the man.

"Haha~ you really can't help but jump out?"

"The commander of the Tiandou Royal Knights, Roxen."

Roxon has a stern face and a tall body.

His body seemed to reveal a touch of oppression inadvertently, which put a lot of pressure on the ministers standing around him.

When he lifted his steps and left the side, the old guys breathed a sigh of relief.

He was covered in golden armor and walked to the red carpet in the center of the hall with a calm expression.

He slightly raised his sharp eyes and looked at 'Xue Qinghe'.

At such a critical moment, there will indeed still be some restless elements that jump out to cause trouble.

Roxon is the most restless one among them!

As for why he would risk offending her, the future emperor, and most likely being liquidated in the future, to resist her?

This is because some time ago, she continued to deny Roxon's power and spread various rumors about Roxon.

He was so young that he wandered back to the land of smoke and willows, addicted to wine and sex and unable to extricate himself.

It's as big as trying to kill the king and seek the throne.

As a result, even his close associates are alienating him intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, whether these rumors are true or false, they will definitely have a great impact on Roxon, and it is not impossible that they may even endanger his life.

Those cronies knew this well and did not want to waste their future and lives with him in vain.

Either voluntarily withdraw from the Royal Knights, or join the men of 'Xue Qinghe'.

And someone who can do all this and has real benefits for himself.

Even without using his brain, Luoxen knew that it was 'Xue Qinghe' who did it.

That's why he acted like "losing a thousand to himself and hurting the enemy unknown".

And faced with this unexpected situation.

As smart as she is, how could she be unprepared?

She kept her expression low and asked casually: "Does Commander Eroxen mean that there is someone more suitable to manage the government than this prince?"

Roxon came out with the idea of ​​​​"a fish is dead and a net is broken".

So of course he won't hesitate any longer!

His true purpose was also revealed.

He did not answer the question of 'Xue Qinghe' immediately.

Instead, he turned around and faced the ministers.

"Everyone, the current situation in the mainland is unclear. Any slight negligence or omission will lead to our empire going to a place of no return!"

"In order to avoid this situation, during the period when the emperor is ill, a person with absolute governing ability is needed to maintain the operation of the empire."

"I, Luoxen, am not talented. I have been working for the empire since I was five years old. I have been with the emperor for many years. I dare not say that I have made any great achievements. However, I have been influenced by the emperor's ideas. I believe that I am the best person to temporarily control the government. Choose!"

These words caused quite a commotion among the ministers, but no one dared to refute him face to face.

Then, he didn't even turn around, he just turned his head sideways and glanced at the 'Xueqing River' with his peripheral vision.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, you seem to have a close relationship with the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace, right?"

After hearing this, the discussion among the officials became louder and louder.

'Xue Qinghe' had already expected what he was going to say and just looked at him calmly.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Roxon smiled wildly, like a winner.

However, due to being in front of everyone, he quickly corrected his expression: "Now that the mainland is in turmoil, I believe that everyone present is aware of the 'role' played by Wuhun Palace in this turmoil, right?"

"And your Royal Highness, you..."

He did not continue.

But everyone understood what he meant.

It's nothing more than 'Xue Qinghe' hooking up with Wuhundian.

This kind of thing should not happen to Prince Tiandou.

If she is allowed to take charge of the government, what's the point?

Are you afraid that even the Great Emperor will be ignored?

In fact, many people understand this.

The hearts of these old guys who were forced to submit to her were as clear as a mirror.

But no one dared to mention it.

Dare to mention, or want to mention.

Either you will die before you finish speaking, or you will be destroyed before you finish speaking.

Seeing that these people who had received a lot of benefits from me were submissive and didn't want to say a word for themselves.

'Xue Qinghe' sneered and said to himself: "They are really a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves..."

"It seems that we will have to clear out another group by then so that they can remember it for a long time."

However, in the next moment.

In the eyes of everyone's astonishment, Mr. Cao stood up.

He faced Roxon's murderous look and shouted loudly: "Roxon, you are just a general, but you dare to criticize His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"What's the point of 'serving the empire at the age of five'? Now that you are one step into the coffin, you can only be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and you are not worthy of being humiliated by His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"What's even more ridiculous is, do you think that as the Emperor's own son, His Highness the Crown Prince, is not influenced by the Emperor's ideals?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's political achievements in the past few years have been witnessed by all of us."

"What about you?"

"Staying in a brothel every day, hugging each other, and letting those prostitutes call you 'Commander Luo~', does this count as a political achievement?"

"You say so many high-sounding words and threaten us weak civil servants with your eyes from time to time. What do you mean and what are your intentions?!"

Roxon's face turned the color of pig liver with anger.

"Ha~"

"I think you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to control the government so that you can replace the emperor while he is ill!"

This wave of relentless output directly tipped the situation to one side.

But everyone inside was confused.

'Xue Qinghe' was also confused.

this...

It doesn't seem like she had prepared something in advance, right?
