Chapter 1568 Angry Ministers and Princes

Xiufeng Country, Fengliang City, and the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the Imperial Palace was full of people. Fully armed soldiers almost filled the entire Imperial Palace. Soldiers could be seen everywhere, even in the most remote corners. The eunuchs and maids in the palace walked in fear, as if walking on thin ice, with their heads down, not daring to breathe.

The reason why the Imperial Palace of Xiufeng Country was in this situation was that the owner of the palace had fallen down and was still in a coma after being assassinated by an assassin. Guan Fei, the emperor's close minister and the most trusted minister of the emperor, had taken over the guarding of the entire Imperial Palace.

In fact, before today, many ministers of Xiufeng Country knew of Guan Fei's existence, but not many had actually seen Guan Fei. Guan Fei did not even have a position in public. He was responsible for some things that were not presentable. Of course, monitoring whether the ministers violated discipline was also included.

The ministers of Xiufeng State are well aware of the existence of this emperor's minions, and they are also afraid of his power and means. Those who are targeted by him usually have no good end.

However, everyone also understands that their majesty Zhao Qian will not give Guan Fei an official position, because Guan Fei already has a great deterrent power among the courtiers of Xiufeng State. If he is allowed to hold a high position again, it is obviously inappropriate.

Therefore, now that the emperor is seriously injured and unconscious, Guan Fei is not qualified to take over the defense of the palace. He is just a person living in the shadows and is not suitable to be on the stage, but the reality is that the entire palace defense system is now under the control of Guan Fei.

Everything is because of a power that Zhao Qian gave Guan Fei before he was assassinated:

Lead the palace guards to search for the princess of Yanfeng State.

In other words, the most elite guards in the palace of Xiufeng State are now under the control of Guan Fei. Together with his previous subordinates, Guan Fei now has extremely powerful power. Not to mention other places, all military forces in this palace belong to his subordinates.

Before Zhao Qian removed Guan Fei's power, Guan Fei was the most powerful person in the palace.

But after Zhao Qian was stabbed, he fell into a coma, and his body became weaker and weaker. Even though the imperial doctors in the palace were trying their best to treat him, his injuries not only did not improve, but showed signs of worsening.

In this way, it was naturally impossible for anyone to remove Guan Fei's power.

"Damn it! A villain in the dark actually got this power!"

"Who said it wasn't? Just now I wanted to see His Majesty, but he actually stopped me, saying that His Majesty was seriously ill and no one was allowed to see His Majesty, so as not to disturb His Majesty's treatment. Humph, I think he just doesn't want all of us to see His Majesty, and wants to monopolize power!"

"What's more infuriating is that he didn't come out directly, but just let his lackeys stop us. It's too much. This is simply not taking us seriously!"

......

The ministers of Xiufeng State complained endlessly.

After learning that Zhao Qian was stabbed, the ministers in Fengliang City rushed to the palace to meet Zhao Qian. First, they wanted to see how Zhao Qian was injured, and second, they wanted to show their faces in front of Zhao Qian, show their loyalty, and let Zhao Qian know that they all care about him.

However, after these ministers entered the palace, they were stopped by Guan Fei's people. No one could see Zhao Qian, and no one knew what Zhao Qian's current situation was. This naturally made the ministers of Xiufeng State quite dissatisfied.

On weekdays, because of Guan Fei's style of doing things and his surveillance of them, the ministers of Xiufeng State were already quite dissatisfied. After all, no one would like someone who was secretly monitoring them all the time. However, at that time, due to Zhao Qian's order, the ministers did not dare to complain much, but now, Guan Fei's behavior was even more excessive. He actually prevented them from seeing Zhao Qian, which made everyone vent all the resentment accumulated in their hearts in the past.

However, the way they vented their grievances was just to complain a few words. There was no better way. After all, Guan Fei was directly responsible for Zhao Qian on weekdays. Other ministers had no right to control Guan Fei. Zhao Qian was seriously injured and fell into a coma. At the same time, they could not even see Zhao Qian, so naturally no one could control Zhao Qian.

"Just now I saw several princes wanting to go in to see His Majesty, but they were all stopped by Guan Fei."

"Really? Isn't this Guan Fei too bold? What is he going to do?"

"This Guan Fei is lawless. It's okay to stop us, but he even stopped several princes. Is he trying to rebel?"

......

The ministers' complaints did not stop. They really couldn't understand Guan Fei's series of practices, and at the same time, they hated him.

Now, in the entire palace, except Guan Fei himself, only the imperial doctors and a small number of palace maids and eunuchs can see Zhao Qian. All others can't even see him once.

The ministers were angry, and the princes were even angrier. They were the princes of Xiufeng State, but now they couldn't even see their father. They were stopped by one of their father's lackeys. This was really infuriating.

However, even though they were princes, they couldn't order Guan Fei. This was their father's previous rule, in order to prevent the princes from forming cliques and engaging in private interests. Especially for people with special identities like Guan Fei, the princes couldn't contact and give orders casually. In the entire palace, only Zhao Qian could order Guan Fei to do things.

This was originally Zhao Qian's cautious intention, but now it has become a constraint for the princes.

In the Yangxin Palace of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Qian closed his eyes and lay on the bed. A group of imperial doctors surrounded him. They were thinking hard about how to treat Zhao Qian. However, it had been a long time since they came here, but they still couldn't think of a solution.

Not far from Zhao Qian, Guan Fei sat there alone, drinking tea and looking at Zhao Qian who was unconscious on the bed. His expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about something.

Refusing everyone to visit Zhao Qian was an order issued by Guan Fei. At the beginning, he really cared about Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian's condition was very critical and he needed the imperial doctors to treat him with peace of mind. If a room full of people came into the hall, the imperial doctors would not be able to concentrate on treating Zhao Qian, which was obviously not good for Zhao Qian's injury. Therefore, in order to prevent that from happening, Guan Fei simply ordered to stop anyone from visiting Zhao Qian.

But as time went by, Guan Fei's mind slowly changed, especially when he saw that even the princes had no way to go against his orders and come to visit Zhao Qian, which made Guan Fei feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
