"What a joke. The matter of the Crown Prince is of course a big matter that can't be messed with!”
"But the one messing around isn't anyone else, it's you, Grand Empress Dowager!”
"The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. He was made Crown Prince by the previous Emperor half a year after he was born. Now that the previous Emperor has passed away, the Crown Prince, as the heir apparent, should naturally inherit the throne. You can have objections to me assisting the government, but what right do you have to object to the Crown Prince ascending the throne?”
Gu Fengming laughed coldly.
It was inevitable that there would be conflict between him and Lu Zhi.
The courtiers and Lu Zhi both wanted to control the government. Gu Fengming wanted to protect Gu Changming, so he could only choose the courtiers to be Lu Zhi's enemies. Presumably, all the crafty old foxes in the court wouldn't want to see this old woman come out and listen to politics behind the curtain.
"Great General, don't you agree?”
Gu Fengming asked Sima Yi after he finished speaking.
This Sima Yi was a wolf in sheep's clothing. In history, he was the one who had tortured Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui to death before taking control of the Cao Clan. If someone said that this guy wanted Lu Zhi to take over the throne, he would be the first to not believe it.
"Your Highness the King of Qin is right. Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country. Now that His Majesty has passed away, the Crown Prince should inherit the throne.”
"Your subject, Wang Mang, agrees. I implore the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people!”
"I, An Lushan, agree!"
"I, Qin Hui seconded!"
……………………
Seeing that Gu Fengming and Sima Yi had started to take the lead, the officials immediately echoed.
No one was stupid. They knew clearly whether it was easy to deal with two children or an old witch who had assisted two generations of emperors. If they did not speak up for Gu Fengming and Gu Changge now, they would be looking for big trouble.
"You, you…"
Lu Zhi saw that everyone was standing beside Gu Fengming, and his eyes were filled with anger. He pointed at everyone and his voice trembled so much that he could not say a complete sentence.
"Good, good, this widow can see that you want to bully me because my son is dead and I have no backing.”
Seeing that everyone was against him, Lu Zhi immediately began to act out a bitter scene and sobbed.
"That's not right, Grand Empress Dowager. You're clearly the one who wants to bully the widow and child. It is true that your son is dead, but you still have many sons. There are as many as ten vassal kings outside, and they are all your sons. This king is also your son. No matter how you look at it, you are not too miserable.”
"Compared to Imperial Sister-in-law, she married into the Imperial family and was exceptionally loving with her Imperial Brother. The two of them helped each other through thick and thin, and their love was stronger than gold. Now that Imperial Brother has passed away, you want to abolish his son and make another emperor before his bones are even cold.”
"Is it the widow who lost her husband and father who is pitiful, or is it the old lady who lost a son who is pitiful?”
Gu Fengming shot a glance at Lu Zhi. He could not tell what she was sad about. It was simply laughable to shout that she was bullied here.
Hearing this, all the officials in the court looked at Gu Fengming and secretly exclaimed in their hearts,"Great!"
Indeed, what this Lu Zhi wanted to do, everyone did not want to see. Seeing Lu Zhi suffer a loss, all of them clapped their hands in joy.
"No wonder His Majesty likes this younger brother. The King of Qin is so eloquent at such a young age, and his mind is also extraordinary!”
While everyone was secretly happy, they had to be wary of Gu Fengming. It was not a coincidence that Gu Fengming could become the regent. However, Gu Fengming's age was there. Even if he matured early, he was still a child in everyone's eyes. He was much easier to deal with than Lu Zhi.
"You…"
"Qin Wang, good. You haven't even become regent and you're already starting to look down on this widow. If you really gain power, won't this widow die without a burial place?”
Lu Zhi was not stupid. He looked at Gu Fengming. In the past, Gu Fengming's sharp tongue was annoying. However, because Gu Longming doted on him and he was only a nine-year-old child, Lu Zhi did not take Gu Fengming seriously. However, now that he saw Gu Fengming targeting him in every way, before the officials could oppose him, Gu Fengming jumped out first.
Instantly, Lu Zhi gnashed his teeth in hatred. He secretly regretted not dealing with this vile creature earlier. Now, he was somewhat raising a tiger to invite disaster.
At the thought of this, Lu Zhi's gaze was fierce, determined to kill Gu Fengming first.
"Grand Empress Dowager's words are too serious. Your son is only a nine year old child, what can threaten you? Could it be that mother is afraid of a nine year old child?”
Gu Fengming looked at Lu Zhi and replied with a smile.
"Hmph, you already know that you are a nine-year-old child. Since you know this, you should know that a nine-year-old child like you is unable to shoulder the great cause of regent. I think the emperor must have been muddle-headed before he died, so he entrusted his son to you.”
Lu Zhi sneered and said to Gu Fengming. He wanted to use these words to remove Gu Fengming's regime.
"I, Wang Mang, feel that the Empress Dowager's words are reasonable. The reason why His Majesty asked His Highness the King of Qin to act as regent is probably because of his illness, which has caused him to be delirious.”
"I, Qin Hui, also think that this is a serious matter. Since ancient times, I have never heard of a nine-year-old regent. His Majesty must have been muddle-headed at that time and mistook the King of Qin for a prince who was outside the vassal state.”
"Lord Qin's words are reasonable. I also think that the matter of the King of Qin being the regent of the country is still open to discussion!”
……………………
When a group of old foxes saw Lu Zhi and Gu Fengming fighting, they took advantage of the situation and wanted to take down both sides. This way, they could assist Gu Changge without the imperial family's restraint.
A moment ago, he was still supporting Gu Fengming, but in the next second, he was supporting Lu Zhi.
"Damn it, a bunch of crafty sycophants.”
Hearing this, Gu Fengming was instantly speechless. He had not expected that this group of people would have no bottom line. Although he knew that they were a group of treacherous officials, he did not expect them to do such a two-faced thing.
"Hmph, since the ministers have agreed, then…"
"Wait!"
Just as Lu Zhi was about to join forces with the ministers to remove Gu Fengming's regent, Yu Qinghe stood up and looked at the ministers and Lu Zhi.
"You don't have to fight anymore. The previous emperor left behind a decree for the Crown Prince to succeed the throne and for the King of Qin to supervise the country.”
As he spoke, he took out a photo and slowly stood up to look at the officials.
Upon hearing that there was a photo, everyone was shocked. When they saw that there was really an edict in Yu Qinghe's hand, everyone's expression changed and they knelt down again.
"There's a photo?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
The new book was asking for everything, and the evaluation votes!
