Great Zhou Dynasty, Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the throne, thinking of what had just happened in the court, her face turned frosty, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart.

Below the main hall, dozens of the Queen Mother's followers gathered together, looking at each other in silence.

Of course they knew why the Queen Mother was angry!

Today in the court.

The new emperor, Gu Changsheng, was very scheming and strategizing, and he plotted against the Queen Mother.

Even Li Yang, the Minister of Household Affairs, was executed by the new emperor.

This court game.

The Queen Mother was a complete failure

"It seems that this queen has always underestimated the new emperor."

"Do you think the new emperor can be controlled by the queen?"

After a while, the Queen Mother's face returned to calm, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, she glanced at the dozens of ministers present, and said in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, a middle-aged official with a gloomy expression and wearing a black robe stood up. He came out and said coldly:

"The Ninth Prince, in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the former emperor, has always been a useless prince with no sense of existence."

"However, today, the Ninth Prince ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his performance in the court, and the revealed Jin Yiwei"

"The old minister can be sure that the new emperor is very scheming. In the past eighteen years, he has been keeping a low profile and hiding his clumsiness from the civil and military officials of the dynasty. After a pause, the middle-aged official in black robe looked cold and said with murderous intent:

"The new emperor's scheming is unfathomable. He is a tycoon and will never be willing to be manipulated."

"The old minister suggested that for the sake of long nights and many dreams,"

"Strike first to gain the upper hand and get rid of the new emperor to avoid future troubles."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of dozens of ministers present suddenly changed, and they looked at the middle-aged officials in black robes with horror.

The right minister was too courageous!

He actually planned to get rid of the emperor directly.

The black man in front of him who spoke The middle-aged official in the robe is none other than Liu Wu, the Right Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His cultivation is unfathomable. His disciples and old officials are all over the government and the public.

The Queen Mother has power in the court and the public, covering the sky with one hand.

This person, You Xiang, has made indispensable contributions.

I heard that You The Prime Minister’s proposal.

The Queen Mother thought for a while and shook her head:

"The late emperor passed away and left a legacy to pass the throne to the ninth prince of Zhou Dynasty."

"The new emperor dares to be so arrogant when he ascends the throne. To get rid of the Minister of Household Affairs in the court, he must have the trump card left by the previous emperor."

"We must not act rashly until we have figured out the new emperor's trump card."

As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, dozens of ministers present suddenly looked solemn and thought secretly in their hearts.

During his lifetime, the late Emperor Gu Qiangu had unfathomable cultivation and was so wise.

If he were to pass the throne to Gu Changsheng, he would definitely do something for him. He left behind his trump card to control the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Today, the four great imperial guards commanders who appeared in the court were all powerful men at the peak of the princes.

These powerful men came from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had never heard of them.

Come to think of it, this Jin Yiwei is the trump card left by the late emperor for Gu Changsheng.

The most important thing is that they have no idea how many trump cards the late emperor has left for Gu Changsheng?

They want to kill Gu Changsheng.

Who knows what the opponent is behind? There is no strong person to protect you.

Get rid of the emperor.

It is not that simple to complete this matter.

"Queen Mother, what should we do now?"

A minister looked a little scared and couldn't help but stand up and whispered.

"What a waste! Why are you panicking?"

The Queen Mother looked warm and angry. She couldn't help but snorted coldly. She looked at the minister and said confidently:

"Although the new emperor’s methods are good,"

"But based on the power revealed by the other party, the strongest one is only at the peak of a prince, so I won't take it seriously."

As soon as these words came out, the minister was relieved in his heart, and his face quickly returned to calm.

It is true.

The imperial guards in the hands of the new emperor are not qualified to compete with the Queen Mother.

And they are so afraid of Gu Changsheng.

That is also true. Worried that the late emperor had left a trump card for Gu Changsheng, she did not dare to act rashly.

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened slightly, and she did not know what she was thinking in her heart.

Get rid of Gu Changsheng.

This would not be conducive to her control of the Zhou Dynasty.

She needed a puppet emperor to show the bright future. Faced with this, the ancestor of the Great Zhou royal family would not take action.

Therefore, now is not the time to get rid of Gu Changsheng.

Suddenly, at this moment, a middle-aged eunuch wearing a blue robe with an anxious expression came to the Queen Mother In front of him, he said in a panic:

"No, Queen Mother!"

"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict to kill the entire Li family, and now he has sent out guards to carry it out."

"So brave."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression became furious, a cold light bloomed in her eyes, and she said in a cold voice.

The moment the words fell, there was a dead silence in the hall. Dozens of ministers present, including the right minister, did not expect the new emperor. The method is so ruthless. Li Yang, the Minister of Household Affairs, has been eradicated in the court! The entire Li family is also to be executed.

"The Empress Dowager and the Minister of Household Affairs, Li Yang, committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the nine clans must be implicated and the whole family must be executed."

"There is absolutely no reason for us to get involved in this matter. It is a bit troublesome."

Right Prime Minister Liu Wu frowned slightly, with an ugly face, and said seriously.

If they want to intervene to save the Li family, they will violate the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.

This matter.

They cannot stand and have no reason to go against the new emperor.

"I must intervene in this matter later"

"Right Prime Minister, you should understand."

The Queen Mother's face was livid, and her cold voice resounded throughout the hall.

Right Prime Minister Liu Wu was thoughtful and immediately understood the seriousness of this matter.

Although Li Yang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, is dead, the Queen Mother must protect the family behind him.

If not, the new emperor's eradication of the Li family will cause a serious blow to the Queen Mother's prestige.

Spread the word.

What do the civil and military councils of the Manchu Dynasty think?

The Queen Mother cannot even protect her close ministers and their families.

Doesn't it mean that the Queen Mother is not the new emperor? Opponent.

The civil and military officials of the dynasty will inevitably have their own thoughts.

"If the Queen Mother wanted to take action, she would use all her strength to force the new emperor to surrender."

Right Minister Liu Wu pondered for a while, and then he made a calculation in his mind. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said sarcastically:

"The most powerful of the imperial guards in the hands of the new emperor is no more than a prince."

"Then we will send powerful people to stop the Jin Yiwei, and even use this to find out whether there is any hidden card behind the new emperor."

After a pause, Liu Wu looked contemptuous and said with a joking smile:

"If the new emperor is facing a powerful person and still has the means to deal with it, then we should treat it with caution in the future.

"If the new emperor is unable to deal with the powerful, then the new emperor has nothing to worry about"

"Very calculating, You quite resourceful."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother revealed a meaningful sneer on her charming face, which made her heart palpitate.

At this moment, she was really looking forward to it.

After all, there was no hidden card behind Gu Changsheng.

If she could use this to find out the details of Gu Changsheng.

Even if the entire Li family was executed, it would still be worth it to the Queen Mother.
