On the nine dragon steps of the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, there is the emperor's throne high in the middle. As the supreme person in the world who dominates the power of the entire world, it is here to guide the common people to decide life and death.

However, there is no one in this seat now. The somewhat thin crown prince Liu Ju stood on the left side, although he barely suppressed the emotions in his heart, he did not show any fluctuations on his face. But he pinched the corners of his clothes with his fingers a little unnaturally, and it still fell into the eyes of some people. Let people know that his heart is not at peace.

Most of the people standing in the court today may not have expected that there will be a crucial choice that will be placed in front of everyone immediately.

In the past few years, the power of the Queen Mother and her relatives' family also had a huge influence. In the era of Prime Minister Wu'an Hou Tian Jue, the Tian family leaned towards the government and the opposition, and dominated Chang'an, and many people from the government and the opposition were once attached to his disciples. Although it has since declined, there are still many forces involved in the shadows.

Therefore, when the figure of the queen mother appeared behind the beaded curtain and jade curtain, it still caused a little commotion on the spot. If you look closely, you can see the faint excitement and excitement on the faces of many ministers.

However, Yuan Zhao did not give the queen mother a chance to stand up and perform immediately. In today's court, it must be done according to his steps. This is especially crucial.

"His Majesty the Emperor's illness requires recuperation. During this period of time, someone must temporarily act as His Majesty to take care of the affairs of the court...... Since just now, the Imperial Doctor, the Imperial Lieutenant, and those of you have been saying that they want to invite the Empress Dowager to preside over government affairs, then well, the Empress Dowager is here now...... ”

Yuan Zhao stood in the center of the main hall, looking at the hateful gazes on the other side with an expressionless face. No one knew that in his gentle words, a sharp sword was gradually taking shape in his chest!

Among the nine swords of the Spring and Autumn Period, the most powerful is not actually the sharp and invincible Red Fire Sword, nor is it dyed ink, nor is it fish intestines...... Heaven and earth are rushing, the big blade has no edge, and the evil is killed, it is for the cadres!

For a long time, in fact, he didn't have much time and effort to spend on court battles and mutual attacks. Although he knows some of the dark side of history, he can only pretend to turn a blind eye. In this era of supremacy of imperial power, the emperor will deliberately nurture the struggle between these different forces in many cases for the sake of balancing power and magic. However, this method, which played the most important role in the stability of imperial power, also played an extremely harmful role in hindering the development of the general trend of the world.

Yuan Zhao had considered many ways to solve these various troubles by bloodless means as much as possible. But he has been hiding it all this time because the time has not yet come.

Now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has finally arrived. His Majesty the Emperor's illness will not really come to his senses without three or five days. This huge power vacuum can already do a lot of things.

On the way from the Yang Palace, deep in Yuan Zhao's heart, he was already secretly grateful to God for leaving such an excellent opportunity for himself. What a love!

Liu Che, the fifth son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, as a famous emperor in history, his skills and scheming must not be underestimated. It is very difficult to realize the true thoughts in his heart day by day under his nose. Over the years, one of the main reasons why Yuan Zhao has been cautious and does not dare to take too many steps in many aspects is that he is afraid that the emperor's sharp eyes will detect the depths of his heart in advance.

With the continuous expansion of the territory of the Han Dynasty, the comprehensive national strength increased dramatically. The world continues to prosper, and the people are increasingly rich. Up to now, the transition from decline caused by the wars has been completely avoided. Whenever he thought of this, Yuan Zhao would feel extremely relieved in his heart. The huge wheel of history has been completely reversed by him, and the rise and fall of a great dynasty is in the palm of his hand.

But on the other hand, Yuan Zhao has also been aware. The so-called country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change. The emperor's actions can already clearly show his indulgence in luxury, great joy, and endless pursuit of beauty, immortality, and enjoyment...... The essence of these things has not changed in the slightest, but has become even more intense and crazy!

Except for some predictable suspicions and precautions, if one day in the future, when you really show your hole cards, you will start to draw the grand blueprint in your heart on this land. The emperor would never allow it. Fierce conflict and bloodshed, perhaps inevitable, were unavoidable, and this was what he did not want to see...... If there is really no suitable opportunity, Yuan Zhao will not dare to launch it easily.

God finally favors him! The opportunity was given to him, and it was up to him to see if he could catch it.

The cadre will be hairy, and there is a man! Yuan Zhao has always been a person who makes decisions on the spot. The sharp edge of the sword sweeping everything is his favorite style. Whether it's on the battlefield or in the court, .......

Prime Minister Sun Hong was standing beside Yuan Zhao, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Even he didn't expect that the Yuan Church would allow the Empress Dowager to come to the Hanyuan Palace. How can this be? Could it be that he has really calculated everything, with everything in his chest and under control? You must know that the war in the court is not lost at all to the smoke on the killing field. If you make a situation out of control, it will be a big trouble!

However, Yuan Zhao's breezy expression still didn't make him easily express the doubts in his heart. Now that he is in the same boat, there is nothing else to say. In today's battle, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven!

Prime Minister Sun Hong's heart is actually a little apprehensive. But he didn't have to wait long for him to realize that what he had thought about was a little redundant. Yuan Zhao's shot is always clean and neat, and it is difficult for the opponent to fight back!

Those ministers with different identities led by Zhang Tang and Wei Ji finally waited for the arrival of the Empress Dowager. After calming down a little, Zhang Tang faced Yuan Zhao coldly, and his voice was stern.

"Now that the Queen Mother has come, what else is there to say! In this regard, the ministers respectfully asked the Queen Mother to listen to the government and first determine the major matters, and then discuss other matters. ”

Although seeing the smile on Yuan Zhao's face was intriguing, Zhang Tang didn't think much about it. Now that we have reached this situation, some polite words will be waived. The knife has been unsheathed, there is no need to keep your hands, today on this Hanyuan Palace, face to face the gong and the drum score to understand.

A large chorus of approval followed from below. The queen mother, who was sitting behind the bead curtain on the right side, had a sallow and sallow face, and there were so many ministers in the court who supported her, so what was she afraid of? After Yuan Zhao is defeated for a while, he will definitely be punished well, and he will not be spared!

The crown prince is on the left, and the queen mother is on the right. After Yuan Zhao bowed to the top, he turned around, less than three feet away from the political enemy opposite. He took a serious look at Zhang Tang, this old guy who had been embarrassing him since he appeared, was obviously old. But the ferociousness on his face is old and strong, and he does not change his true colors.

"The crown prince is here, and the queen mother is also here. Since His Majesty the Emperor does not have any verbal entrustment, how can we, the ministers in power, do nothing in the current important situation in Chang'an...... What does the prime minister think? ”

Yuan Zhao's gaze turned to Gongsun Hong. The other party nodded heavily, the light in the corner of his eye flickering faintly.

"National events are not child's play! As the head of the three princes, the old man should have done more at the moment...... It's just a pity that I can't do it anymore! In order not to delay the important event, all the resolutions today will be based on the Lord Shangshu Yuanhou! ”

Prime Minister Sun Hong deliberately bit the words "Lord Shangshu" very hard. In order to remind everyone that although Yuan Zhao is young, his identity is extremely important. As soon as his voice fell, Yuan Zhao had not yet spoken, and Zhang Tang had already responded sharply.

"Where did the prime minister say it! Since you don't want to do something, someone can do it...... Where to get this young brat in turn! Hum! Shang Shuling is just a fictitious position, how can he preside over the affairs of the imperial court?"

At this time, Zhang Tang is no longer polite. As the leader of this large group of people, he must have a tough attitude and fight with reason in order to achieve the goal he wants. In his eyes, Gongsun is old and old, Yuan Zhao is young, and he is not afraid of the real competition!

"The post of the Great Han Shangshu Order was set up by His Majesty the Emperor himself, how can it be a false position? As a doctor of the imperial history, it is really ridiculous for Lord Zhang Tang to say such a thing. ”

The person below, hearing this, couldn't bear it anymore. The one who stood up and said loudly was the regular attendant Dongfang Shuo in front of the palace!

Dongfang Shuo once accompanied the prince on the expedition, and in the eyes of outsiders, he had already been labeled as a prince. Now that he has started the battle between swords and real guns, he will naturally not remain silent. What's more, Dongfang Shuo has a great relationship with Yuan Zhao, and he will definitely give his full support today.

As he spoke out, more and more ministers began to stand up and express their sympathy to the two forces.

Zhang Tang was furious and was about to shout a loud scold. Yuan Zhao waved his hand vigorously, and the voice below gradually subsided. In the eyes of everyone, they only heard him say without any emotion.

"Today's matter should be decided by the palace! Those who agree with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's approaching government, please stand on the left. If you want the Queen Mother to take care of it, stand on the right...... Now, it's up to you to choose! ”

After finishing speaking, the Han Shangshu ordered Yuan Zhao to take three steps to the left, and the prince Liu Ju stood in front of him, standing in the hall, not squinting, and waiting for the ending.

In the hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there have been several crucial decisions in this hall. Today's scene, in comparison, may not be as shocking as the previous few swords. But in all the later history books, the role is incomparably important......!
