Chapter 456: Stuck in a predicament

"What? Can't sit still and want to come to me for cooperation? As soon as Baili Moqian entered the room, he looked like he was bound to win, and he didn't need to say anything, so he sat on the chair and knocked on the table, "What?" Don't even have a cup of tea? ”

Ling Xi glanced at Baili Moqian, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and waved his hand to signal the maid to bring a cup of tea.

"That's the attitude of finding someone to negotiate! There is not even a basic treatment, how can we talk about it? Baili Moqian smiled and took the tea cup from the maidservant's hand, in a good mood.

"Mingren doesn't say secret words, the rumors about Lan Zhichu were spread by you, right?" Ling Xi looked at Baili Moqian like this, and no longer had the heart to deal with him, so he went straight to the point.

Baili Moqian's action of drinking tea paused for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "I did it, what?" Distressed? ”

"Yes. Let's talk about how you can get your people to clarify public opinion. ”

"Let my people clarify public opinion, Lingxi, are you crazy or am I crazy. If I do this, then why am I spreading rumors, so much more? Baili Moqian put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ling Xi with a slight mockery.

"Say, on what terms?" Ling Xi knew that it would not be so easy to get Baili Moqian to stop, so he was also ready to pay a certain amount of land compensation.

"Well, it's very simple. How about I ask you to trade yourself for the reputation of your sweetheart? ”

Ling Xi secretly scolded Baili Mo for being humble and despicable, but now he had to deal with him: "Your Majesty King Jinyang, don't be joking, let's say, what conditions!" ”

"Why am I kidding? I really can't think of anything more than you that makes Lan Zhichu ruined. ”

"You...... Vile! I won't let you succeed, neither Lan Zhichu's reputation nor me! Ling Xi looked at Baili Moqian's ugly face and finally couldn't help it, and stopped dealing with him.

"Then we'll see." Seeing that things didn't go according to his own thoughts, Baili Moqian became angry for a while, threw the tea cup in his hand on the ground, and turned to leave.

The next day, Baili Moqian saw that the rumors on the market had taken shape, and he had suffered a setback in Lingxi yesterday, so he raised the rumors in the early court.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report."

The little emperor looked at Baili Moqian below and frowned, he really didn't know what tricks he was going to play: "Say it." ”

"The emperor doesn't know that he is in the palace, and recently there have been rumors in Beijing, all of which say that the regent has bad intentions and intends to seek power and usurp the throne. The minister thinks that no matter whether the regent has the intention or not, there is a way to cause trouble, and the rumors about the regent have become more and more serious recently, and I hope that the emperor can deal with it carefully. ”

"Oh? Really? I don't know about it. ”

Ling Xi silently clenched her fists, although she knew Baili Moqian's plan, but the time was too tight, and there was no time for her to make any measures.

Baili Moqian looked at the obviously nervous Ling Xi, and continued: "Yes, the minister thinks that the emperor is no longer a child who once did not understand the world, and can already take charge of himself, plus now it is rumored everywhere that the regent has bad intentions. The minister implores to abolish the position of the regent of Lan Zhichu and demote him to the common people! ”

"This ......"

Many ministers in the DPRK and China only knew about this matter after Baili Moqian said it, and Baili Moqian said it sincerely, and for a while, many ministers expressed the same meaning as Baili Moqian.

The little emperor looked at the reaction of the ministers below, and secretly said that it was not good, Baili Moqian was too cunning, and now he took the lead, and most of the ministers in the court believed it.

He coughed his throat and asked the courtiers to turn their attention back to him: "I think it's too arbitrary to demote a regent to a commoner based on just a few rumors?" In this way, does it not chill the hearts of those who have not yet entered the ranks? ”

"Your Majesty, having said that, the regent is now ambitious, and everyone knows it, so it can't be compared with the past."

"What did Aiqing say about this? Just because rumors are spreading now, will all the regent's past exploits be wiped out without a trace? Isn't that ridiculous? Is this how Zhong Aiqing's books have been read for so many years? All of a sudden, the little emperor's anger also came up. He never thought that his courtiers would be so ridiculous, that they would be provoked by someone in a few words.

The little emperor was furious in the court, and the courtiers below all knew what he meant to protect Lan Zhichu, and for a while, no one dared to touch his scales.

He looked at the obviously dissatisfied ministers below, and didn't want to listen to them talk about Lan Zhichu anymore, so he waved his hand: "Okay, let's stop here today." I'm tired, so stand down. ”

Although the ministers of the court did not say anything on the surface, most of them were dissatisfied with the performance of the little emperor today, thinking that he ignored the overall situation and paid too much attention to personal feelings. Some ministers who had been neutral also began to waver, and some even secretly took refuge in Baili Moqian after the early dynasty.

"Lord, another minister secretly sent a letter, expressing his willingness to take refuge."

"Good, good!" Baili Moqian lay on the rocking chair, listening to the report of his subordinates, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was in a good mood.

Because of her pregnancy, Xie Ruanchun had to go out for a walk sometimes. Baili Moqian looked at Xie Ruanchun, and suddenly remembered Lingxi. The woman who was capable and wise, but unwilling to submit to him.

The strength of Baili Moqian's hand on the rocking chair couldn't help but increase a lot, and his eyes no longer squinted, but radiated a sharp gaze.

If you can't get it, then destroy it!

After Baili Moqian had that idea, he asked his subordinates to tell the ministers who had defected to his camp about the idea of impeaching Ling Xi in the court tomorrow.

The new minister needs to prove his resolve, and the former minister needs to secure his position. Baili Moqian looked at the direction of the palace and smiled, tomorrow's court will definitely be very exciting!

Sure enough, the next day, only a quarter of an hour after the court began, a minister who had just defected to Baili Moqian yesterday stood up: "Your Majesty, yesterday you thought that the regent had no dissenting intentions, and the rumors on the market were all made up, and it was not allowed to degrade the regent as a commoner." But if there is no wind and no waves, in this case, should we be more prepared? Moreover, as the wife of the regent who has not yet passed the door, Ling Xi is also a woman, so it may not be appropriate to participate in court politics in this way. ”

As soon as the words fell, another minister stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! Before, we thought that the regent was thinking about His Majesty, so we had no problem with letting Ling Xi replace the regent to assist the government. But now that the situation has changed, should we deal with it differently? ”

"Lingxi has the material to govern the country, and besides, the regent guards the land on the frontier, and she will temporarily take the regent's throne, why not?" The little emperor thought that after yesterday, no one should mention this matter again, but he didn't expect that they would use this to impeach Ling Xi.

"Your Majesty, Ling Xi is a female streamer, and there has been no female stream participating in politics since ancient times, which is unreasonable."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ling Xi is a woman, and she is the wife of the regent who has not passed the door, and you also know the regent's evaluation now, I am afraid that this is ......" Baili Moqian saw that the situation was almost the same, so he came out and added a fire.

The little emperor sat on it, staring at Baili Moqian who pretended to be distressed, Ling Xi can now be said to be his right-hand man, and the reason why he did this, he could figure it out with his toes.

But now, the little emperor looked at the ministers below who bowed down one by one, and he really had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger. Suddenly, an idea came to his head, and the little emperor's eyes narrowed, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Your Majesty! Come on! The emperor fainted! The father-in-law, who was behind the little emperor, caught him in time. The emperor's fainting was a big deal, and for a while, the court was in chaos, and the ministers could only disperse unhappily. Baili Moqian was below, looking at the little emperor, his face was so dark that it was indescribable.

When he returned to the imperial study, the little emperor dismissed everyone and asked them to wait outside the imperial study, and then came to Lingxi, who thought he was really dizzy at first, raised his head, and looked like he was begging for praise: "How is it?" I didn't have a good move today, if I hadn't come up with this trick, I would have really been able to ride a tiger today. ”

Ling Xi touched his head, and the child was still a child: "It's good, but have you thought about it?" Just because you dodge today doesn't mean you can dodge tomorrow. ”

"Then I will call myself sick, and if I don't see anyone, I won't believe it, and they will have nothing else to do but this matter."

Ling Xi touched his head, although the little emperor's current thinking is still a little childish, but this is not a bad way for them now. "That's fine."

"You think you can do it, so let's do it."

The little emperor was a child after all, and for the next few days, he said that he was sick and did not go to the early court, nor did he receive any ministers, and he used his illness to excuse himself for any reason. Hiding in the imperial study all day long, I want to play with him.

Ling Xi remembered that he was still young, and there was no major event in the court recently, so he went with him.

But Baili Moqian on the other side waited for a few days, and found that the little emperor couldn't sit down after adopting a policy of evasion, so he summoned the ministers overnight, and discussed with them to go to the door of the imperial study the next day to kneel, forcing the little emperor to depose Lingxi.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Oh no! The ministers of the court are now kneeling outside the door, and they say that if you do not agree to depose Lingxi, they will not rise. The father-in-law brought breakfast in for the little emperor to come out, and he was startled by the battle at the door, and hurriedly ran back to report to the little emperor.

How did the little emperor not know that Baili Moqian's move was to make the minister force him to compromise, so he could only wave his hand irritably and signal his father-in-law to go down: "I know, don't bother with them, let them kneel if they like to kneel!" ”

"Yes!"

After the father-in-law retreated, the little emperor looked anxiously in the direction of the frontier, and he didn't know when Lan Zhichu would come back, and if he continued like this, one day, he would not be able to hold on.
