Chapter 38: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
"Well, where's the thief? Take me to him!" He got up.
A moment later, the palace was sideways.
Liu Cheng, who was wearing a cloak, saw a few people walking in outside, and his face changed.
"Congratulations?"
"Prime Minister, we haven't seen you for a long time!" He Chengyun laughed.
Liu Cheng did not answer with a cold face.
"Prime Minister Liu, you have been shrewd all your life, how can you do something rebellious?" He Chengyun had a playful smile on his face, "I think there may be a misunderstanding in this matter, I will definitely find out for you!"
Hearing the sarcasm in this tone, Liu Cheng smiled coldly.
Wei Qing said coldly beside him, "Grandpa, the fact that this guy is an anti-thief is basically confirmed, there is no need to investigate it again. Tonight, I will hand over the post of Prime Minister to you."
"Hahahahaha." Liu Cheng suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Little Emperor, do you really think he came back to help you? We've been fighting all our lives, and it's not a good thing, and you can only be pinched and toyed with by us!"
"You're so presumptuous!" Wei Qing waved his hand, "Twenty cane punishments!"
The Praetorian Guards rushed in and dragged Liu Cheng out. After a while, the screams rang out.
"Wei Qing! You're a lot more arrogant than before, but you're still a puppet to be played with, hahahahaha!" Liu Cheng screamed and scolded.
He Chengyun took Wei Qing out of the side hall and whispered, "Qing'er, don't believe the words of that thief."
"Don't worry, grandpa, I won't be fooled by him!" Wei Qing nodded.
If she can't even trust her own relatives, then who else can she trust? This time He was transported back, which was an opportunity for her!
Perhaps, she no longer has to look at the faces of Xu Kailin, Cao Shan and that Shen Yunfan!
Therefore, that night, she issued a holy decree, set the name of Liu Cheng's anti-thief, and officially gave the position of prime minister to He Chengyun.
Dingguo Gong, who was once driven out of the country in the political struggle, had just returned with the title of prime minister.
Several eunuchs left the palace and reported the matter to the civil and military officials.
After this matter reached the Xu family, Xu Yan's face changed and he said, "Father, then Liu Cheng finally fell, why did he come to a new prime minister? The retainers thought that they couldn't let him take the throne!"
Xu Kailin glanced at Xu Yan and sneered, "Yan'er, you have this opinion?"
Xu Yan said embarrassedly, "Didn't you say last time that you must not let the second Liu Cheng ride on your head? I feel that this Dingguo Gong has just returned, and his foundation is unstable, and it is the right time to deal with it."
"Yan'er, what you said is right, Dingguo Gong has been away for many years, and his foundation is indeed unstable." Xu Kailin muttered, "But don't forget, Dingguo Gong came back this time and brought 10,000 troops!"
"This 10,000 army is the place that poses the greatest threat! You and I don't have military power in our hands, and once someone finds an excuse, we can only be slaughtered. So, you need to be very careful in this matter!"
Xu Yan's eyes flickered, and he arched his hand for a while, "It's me who has neglected to think about it."
"In this case, you will enter the palace tonight and send a congratulatory gift to congratulate you." Xu Kailin instructed again.
"Yes." Xu Yan agreed, and then prepared a congratulatory gift.
On the other side, after Cao Shan got the news, his expression was extremely gloomy.
"Dingguo Gong's army is currently outside the city, stationed on the edge of the Imperial Forest Army. Let this kind of person bring troops to the capital, and also promote him to the prime minister, this is equivalent to letting people put a knife on their neck, Your Majesty is really stupid!"
Cao Zhi, the son of the Cao family, asked, "Father, should we let the Imperial Forest Army take some precautions?"
"Naturally, you must have precautions, but you bring a congratulatory gift tonight and enter the palace first to see the Duke of Dingguo."
"Yes!"
Xu Kailin and Cao Shan are unanimous, and they both want to show goodwill to He Chengyun first!
After all, in officialdom, the fewer enemies the better.
In the medical hall in Dongcheng, Gonggong Zhao personally came to inform Shen Yunfan: "Shen Shizi, Your Majesty's warrant,
Fengding Guogong congratulates you as the prime minister of the dynasty, and from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to enter the palace again."
Shen Yunfan has only been in this position for six days, but he didn't expect that after yesterday's quarrel, he would lose his power in a blink of an eye.
Hearing this, he got up and walked out.
"Where is Shen Shizi?"
"Enter the palace and face the saint."
"Your Majesty told you not to enter the palace again in the future!"
"I didn't accept the order, so I can naturally enter the palace."
"Shen Shizi, this is a holy decree, you can't help but accept it!" Gonggong Zhao scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, but Shen Yunfan ignored him at all, but went straight to the palace.
On the streets of the capital, Shen Yunfan walked very fast.
At the same time, under the darkness of night, many dark shadows followed silently on the eaves.
Liu Meiniang, who was dressed in black, whispered: "After entering the palace, as long as we see the master's code, we will do it."
The killers of the Red Dust Pavilion all nodded, their eyes solemn. This is the first time they have done such a big thing as a rebellion.
Tonight, the Southern Wei Dynasty is likely to change the sky!
Shen Yunfan went all the way to Taihe Gate, but was stopped by the Praetorian Guards here.
"Shen Shizi, Your Majesty has decreed that you are not allowed to enter the palace."
"I'm just going to the palace to see Your Majesty, get out of the way."
"No!" The Janissaries shook their heads.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Yan and Cao Zhi also came. Seeing that Shen Yunfan didn't say anything, they walked towards the palace.
But halfway through, hearing the sound of the Praetorian Guards blocking Shen Yunfan, Xu Yan suddenly stopped, turned back with a smug face, and asked gloatingly:
"Yo, isn't Brother Shen a celebrity next to the emperor? What's going on? Why can't you enter the palace all of a sudden?"
Shen Yunfan glanced at Xu Yan and said casually, "Gonggong Zhao, it seems that not every eunuch is like you - obey the rules and don't talk nonsense."
Father-in-law Zhao naturally heard that this was ridiculing Xu Yan, and he didn't dare to answer for a while.
Xu Yan's face turned green, and he simply tore his face and scolded: "Shen Yunfan, you have repeatedly scolded me for being a eunuch, you are really too deceitful! Your stepfather is now dead, and you dare to break into the palace even if you are not at home and wait for death?"
Now that He is in power, the prime minister has been completely beaten into a thief, so Xu Yan doesn't have to have any fears!
Cao Zhi scratched his head beside him and persuaded, "Brother Shen, I know that something has gone wrong in your family recently, but I advise you not to come nonsense, otherwise you will get into trouble."
Shen Yunfan raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this Cao Zhi's temperament is not bad, and he is not as low as Xu Yan.
Hearing this, Gonggong Zhao followed and persuaded: "Yes, Shen Shizi, let's go back first, don't be angry!"
"No, I want to see Your Majesty today!" Shen Yunfan said firmly.
"See Your Majesty, if you can step through this door today, I will kneel down and kowtow to you." Xu Yan clasped his hands on his chest, leaned against the edge of the gatehouse, and posed as if he was watching a play.
