Chapter 629: In place of the emperor
The emperor did not do his job properly, and soon after the crowd was excited, and there began to be protests from the people in various places, and the ministers were even more opinionated, but because the emperor did not go to court, they had no chance to see the emperor at all.
So they simply thought of a way, that is, to gather everyone to kneel in front of the emperor's bedroom, just to force the emperor to come out to see them.
But the emperor was quiet inside, ignoring everything that happened outside. So after kneeling for a long time, the ministers behind them never responded, and couldn't help but mourn.
At this time, Liu Qingluan and Baili Yunzheng naturally got the news, and when Baili Yunzheng was thinking of a way in the house, Liu Qingluan suddenly walked in and said, "The ministers outside are waiting to see the emperor, why are you still here?" ”
"I know that it is definitely useless to ask to see the emperor at this time, the emperor will not see us, this is just in vain." Baili Yunzheng said very calmly, he made such a judgment after calmly analyzing the current situation.
Seeing Baili Yunzheng so rational, Liu Qingluan was overjoyed all of a sudden, sure enough, she was not mistaken, Baili Yunzheng was really the material of that big material, so she deliberately said: "Now that the emperor is so mediocre, the ministers are gone, if it continues like this, the country will definitely perish, we must think of a solution." ”
"You're right, we really need to find a good way to solve this problem. The emperor has now provoked the anger of the heavens and the resentment, and all places are about to rebel, but he is indifferent. "Baili Yunzheng doesn't look like he hates iron but not steel.
"It seems that the current emperor is unreliable, we have to find our own way." Liu Qingluan deliberately said tentatively like this, just to see if Baili Yunzheng had this thought.
Baili Yunzheng observed his words and looks, and naturally knew what Liu Qingluan was thinking, so he simply nodded according to her meaning and said: "I think you are right, the current emperor is no longer reliable, we can't count on him anymore, we should choose another emperor again." ”
But if you want to choose another emperor again, how can it be so easy?
Baili Yunzheng deliberately made a contemplative look, and analyzed: "Now the emperor has no heirs under his knees, and his brothers and sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps, if they inherit the throne, the country may also have turmoil in the future, so it seems that there are not many people who want to take over the emperor's position after all." ”
"We may be able to start with the courtiers, which minister do you think is the right person?" Liu Qingluan said this deliberately, and at the same time kept looking at him.
Baili Yunzheng pretended not to know and continued: "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, I don't know very well, I look at the ministers in the court who seem to be about the same, there are sages and capable people, but I am afraid it is not easy to provoke the big beam." ”
Liu Qingluan nodded, obviously agreeing with Baili Yunzheng's words, so he deliberately said: "Actually, looking at the entire government and the opposition, I think there is probably no better person than you in this world." ”
This sentence had long been expected by Baili Yunzheng, but he still showed a look of surprise, "Do you really think so?" But I don't think I'm able to take on such a heavy responsibility, not to mention that I'm just a national teacher now, and there are already many people eyeing this position in just a few months. In addition, I am not a relative of the emperor, and if I take over the emperor's position, it will be impossible at all. ”
"Don't worry, I'll help you, as long as you want, I can help you sit on this dragon chair." Liu Qingluan said very firmly, it seemed that she was very sure.
From this, Baili Yunzheng could also guess that Liu Qingluan was probably really controlling the emperor.
So Baili Yunzheng followed Liu Qingluan's meaning, nodded and said, "Since you have said so, then of course I am disrespectful." In front of this trend, I am afraid that only I can be the emperor. ”
"Hmm." Liu Qingluan nodded.
"However......" Baili Yunzheng was still a little worried, and asked with some uncertainty: "This emperor is not so easy to control after all, even if you are his favorite concubine, I'm afraid he won't listen to you easily, what are you going to do now?" ”
Liu Qingluan looked at him and smiled: "I knew a wizard before, he can teach me how to temporarily confuse the emperor, if you are willing to ascend the throne, I will definitely help you." But when the time comes, you'll have to remember me. ”
What she values is Baili Yunzheng's benevolence and righteousness, if she can help him sit on the throne, maybe he should remember himself, then next, then when Baili Yunzheng becomes the emperor, she should also have a credit in it.
Hearing Liu Qingluan say this, Baili Yunzheng naturally nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, if you can help me become the emperor, I will definitely be grateful to you." ”
Liu Qingluan shook his head, "You know I don't want your gratitude, in fact, I help you because I really like you, and I don't need much in return at all." ”
Saying this, she came over a little cautiously and gently pulled Baili Yunzheng's hand, she was afraid that Baili Yunzheng would be cold to herself, so she let go of her hand at once.
However, at this time, Baili Yunzheng was unexpectedly abnormal, he actually took the initiative to take Liu Qingluan's hand and said: "Don't worry, I used to think that you were just a woman, and you couldn't help much, and I didn't care much, but now you see, it turns out that you are not what I imagined at all, but better." ”
Liu Qingluan was also very happy, "It's good that you know, and it's not in vain that my efforts for so many days have been in vain." ”
When he said this, he was about to rush up and hug Baili Yunzheng, but at this time, he suddenly moved away slightly, and said: "Now is not the time, I think we should consider this matter in the long run, now the emperor is still a good person in the eyes of outsiders, if we control it easily, it will definitely be suspected." ”
"And what do you mean we should do?" Listening to Baili Yunzheng's words, Liu Qingluan asked a little strangely.
Baili Yunzheng calmed down and said: "We should spread it out now, the emperor is sick now, find someone to come and heal, so that we can successfully get rid of the emperor who is in the way, and if I succeed in ascending the throne of God at that time, these ministers may have nothing to say." ”
Hearing this, Liu Qingluan laughed very happily, "You're right, we should do this, I'll go and plan." ”
Now Liu Qingluan has been carried away by the joy of success, in her eyes, as long as Baili Yunzheng agrees to match, then things will definitely succeed, for her, everything else is not important, and it can't affect them.
So no matter what Baili Yunzheng said, she was obedient, so she immediately reported the news of the emperor's serious illness according to Baili Yunzheng's instructions, and posted notices everywhere, inviting those miracle doctors on the rivers and lakes to come and see.
This news soon spread out of the palace, and when it reached the ears of the ministers, they could not help but panic and become confused.
After all, at this time, there have been a lot of government affairs that have not been dealt with, and internal and external troubles have not yet been determined.
They panicked for a moment.
Prime Minister Tokh stood up at this time, "I think there must be something strange about this matter, our emperor was originally a good person, how could he suddenly say that he was seriously ill?" I think there must be something wrong with this. ”
After all, Tokhtar was still very authoritative to them, and now that he stood up, everyone followed his thoughts, and felt that there was some truth in what he said.
"You're right, there must be something strange in this matter, I think it's probably the emperor's new favorite concubine, I don't look like a good person at all."
"That's not it, isn't it because of her father's treason with the enemy, causing our entire city to almost fall into the hands of the enemy, I think their family is here to harm our dynasty."
Sure enough, all of a sudden, all the ministers in the court had a lot of opinions about Liu Qingluan, and they couldn't help but be happy when they looked at them, but they still couldn't show it too obviously on the surface, so they pretended to be in charge of the overall situation and said: "Okay, okay, this matter, if it is really as we guessed, it is controlled by Liu Qingluan, we must bring our emperor back." ”
"That's right, we must not let that demon girl ruin the country we have worked so hard to run!" The crowd was excited, and it seemed that they did have a lot of opinions about Liu Qingluan.
Because in the days when Liu Qingluan became a favorite concubine, there was no one in his eyes at all, and he didn't take them seriously, but also because of Baili Yunzheng's sowing discord, their contradictions against Liu Qingluan became bigger and bigger.
"But now that the emperor is in her hands, we can't act rashly, if we want to solve this matter, I'm afraid we have to think of a new way." Tokhtar was still a little rational in the end, and after analyzing the situation a little, he felt that he still couldn't act rashly.
Suddenly, a minister proposed: "We might as well send someone to assassinate her, as long as she is dead, the emperor will not be framed." ”
The others also felt that this proposal was very reasonable, so they nodded and became excited, "That's right, we should kill Liu Qingluan!" ”
Totoku looked at everyone like this, fixed his mind, and nodded and said: "Since you all said so, then let's do this, find an assassin, even if you can't kill Liu Qingluan, you must be able to teach her a lesson and warning." ”
And so the killer set off.
