The ninth day of the first lunar month came as scheduled, although the sky was gloomy in the early morning, but the mood of the prince Liu Yan was particularly comfortable, he had already calculated every step to take next, when the sky was still gray, Liu Yan had already taken a sedan chair to the Xuanzheng Palace.

When Liu Yan came to the Xuanzheng Palace, the civil and military officials had also gathered, and the time of the early dynasty was almost up, but the eunuchs of the general department were never seen to come to Xuanzheng, and the officials in the palace began to whisper. Everyone waited for a long time, and still didn't see the emperor come forward, so the bottom exploded, today is the first day of the New Year's court meeting, every year today the emperor will come as scheduled to preside over the court meeting, listen to the officials' debriefing, dispatch civil and military, plan how the country will act in the new year, but I don't know why the emperor is always not seen today?

Liu Xun, the king of Ning, was also a little anxious at the moment, he took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention and raised his eyes to look at Liu Yan who was standing not far away, but found that his expression was a little strange, his expression and demeanor were not indifferent, but he was not anxious or nervous, could it be that something really happened to his father? Or did Liu Yan already know about his father's situation? But there is no news from the palace that there is something wrong with my father! As soon as he remembered the twists and turns of preparing to impeach Li Shizhi in the past few days, he began to become more and more impatient, and looked back at several of his henchmen, and saw that they were also looking at him blankly, as if they were also asking if something had happened to his emperor, Liu Xun had to frown and twist his face to say that he did not know.

Just when everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, the emperor's personal eunuch Zhang Chen walked out from behind the screen, and then preached in a spiky voice: "The emperor's edict: My dragon is not safe, and the power of the court affairs has been handed over to the prince in the early days, and the power of the country is exercised, and all matters big and small are subject to the actions of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After His Royal Highness's military officials were in an uproar, they remembered to bow and salute. Just when the ministers shouted long live, Liu Xun, the king of Ning, and others were already at a loss, as if they were on the edge of the abyss, on the other hand, the crown prince Liu Yan looked like he was confident and the villain was ambitious, Liu Xun couldn't help but grit his teeth and hated in his heart, why did his father get sick when he was so good? Once the crown prince is allowed to take power, won't the efforts of the past few days be in vain? Could it be that all this is Liu Yan's kid secretly playing ghosts? Thinking of this, a trace of resentment flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, and there was also a trace of fear.

After Zhang Cen finished pronouncing the message, he bowed to the prince standing in His Royal Highness and motioned for the prince to preside over the palace. Liu Yan also nodded, then looked back at the civil and military officials behind him in a pretentious gesture, and muttered, "This ...... This palace is shallow in learning, and his qualifications are still shallow, and it should be ...... to preside over national affairs" Liu Yan's eyes searched, and then fell on Liu Xun, Uncle Ning Wang, who was not far away, "It should be presided over by Uncle Wang!" Then he made a gesture of please.

Everyone was a little at a loss when they saw the prince's humility, and everyone knew that Liu Yan's move was killing three birds with one stone, one was to test King Ning's mind, and the other was to see who would support King Ning among the courtiers around him, and the third was to show that the prince was humble and courteous and respected his elders.

Liu Xun saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, today's situation did not develop according to his own thoughts, he originally wanted to take advantage of today's New Year's court meeting to use the evidence he collected to report Prime Minister Li Shizhi, but he didn't expect his father to fall ill, and he didn't expect that he would hand over the matter of supervising the country to Liu Yan, Liu Yan pushed himself to supervise the country, and his intention was also obvious, and now he is in charge of the overall situation of the imperial court, so it is useless for Li Shi to submit the case to him to deal with, If you don't get it right, you will burn yourself. Liu Xun looked at everyone's strange gazes, and said unhurriedly: "Since the emperor is not safe in the dragon body, and he also entrusts the prince's major affairs to the prince, of course the king will obey his father's decree and do his best to assist the prince." ”

Liu Yan was quite satisfied with this answer and nodded slightly to Uncle Wang. Liu Yan's henchmen were even more overjoyed, and immediately agreed one after another: "The prince is presiding over major affairs, and we will do our best to assist." ”

"Good!" Liu Yan saluted to the officials around him, "Since you are so loving, it is better to be respectful." ”

Liu Yan was tired after a hard day, he could finally take off his court clothes and have a good rest, and when he returned to the mansion, the first thing Liu Yan did was to come to his study first. The study of the Prince's Mansion is extremely large, and it has always been one of his favorite places, usually when he receives his confidants or has confidential matters to discuss, he will let people come to the study. It was already evening, Liu Yan couldn't have dinner, so he immediately summoned Xu Bingde, Xun Mou, Du Zongting, and Deng Zhuo to discuss tomorrow's plan. Just as Xu Bingde and the others walked out of the courtyard gate, Liu Yan sent someone to call Deng Zhuo back to the study.

Deng Zhuo suddenly felt inexplicable, and after coming to the study, he quickly closed the door and saw the prince with his hands behind his back, admiring a landscape painting in the middle of the study. Deng Zhuo didn't dare to disturb, but asked with a low smile: "Your Highness summoned the little one, I don't know if there are other things to order?" ”

Liu Yan was indifferent for a moment, and then sneered: "Are you ready?" ”

Deng Zhuo reacted for a moment, and then replied affirmatively: "Everything is ready!" ”

Liu Yan nodded confidently, "Very good!" How did the people at the bottom react? ”

"Yes!" Deng Zhuo bowed again, "In the afternoon, the subordinates also mobilized Jin Wuwei again, and everyone reacted unanimously, and they all resolutely supported His Royal Highness the Prince, and no abnormal people were found. ”

Liu Yan's expression froze, "Very good!" Now there is your Jin Wuwei again, and this palace is like a tiger with wings! ”

Deng Zhuo hurriedly knelt down on one knee to show his loyalty, "Your Highness's words are serious, Jin Wuwei is originally your Highness, and the small one is also your Highness." ”

"Haha......" Liu Yan looked up to the sky and roared, "Deng Zhuo! You don't have to panic, you are the general of this palace, and you trust you more than others, you don't want to live up to the painstaking cultivation of this palace! ”

"Your Highness, the little ones are toothless and unforgettable, and the small ones must have been cleaned up?"

Deng Zhuowei repaid with death. ”

Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm!" Now Jin Wuwei bowed slightly, "It has been cleaned up, all Gao Yun's henchmen have been sent away, and now Jin Wuwei can be described as a new look, as if it is Your Highness's team of cronies, as long as you give an order, everyone will never dare to disobey." ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Liu Yan's cold eyes, he couldn't help but applaud, and then slowly turned around and applauded Deng Zhuo again and again, "Okay, good!" Now it's time for a big deal! God really helps me......" Liu Yan smiled, and suddenly his smile was closed, his expression was awe-inspiring, and his eyes shot out a cold light, "Deng Zhuo, now we have to kill one more person, and we will be half done!" ”
