Everything the queen says is right

Chapter 187 187, at stake

If you slow down for a moment, your life will be more in danger.

He would never allow Song Yunan to really leak the imperial city's defense plan.

The prince was a little flustered after receiving the news.

"Zhang Ming, why do you think my father suddenly summoned me to the palace this night?"

"Is it possible that your father found out about your secret search for the goddess and wanted to hold me accountable?"

Thinking of this, the prince stared at Zhang Ming with his eyes like an eagle, wishing to see a few holes in him.

Zhang Ming was also shocked.

He had just had a secret conversation with the goddess, and the prince found out about it and was about to question him, but why did the emperor suddenly summon the prince?

Still in the middle of the night.

So it’s not like the prince suspected that the emperor wanted to be held accountable for meeting the goddess in private, right?

However, this idea was rejected by him as soon as it came out.

The emperor was fatuous, and all he cared about was immortality. The fact that he, as the prince's staff, would meet with the goddess was not a big deal, but it would definitely not lead to the emperor summoning the prince into the palace in the middle of the night.

This means that the emperor summoned the prince for something else.

"Your Highness, His Majesty summoned you because he may have other things to arrange. Don't mess up your position."

As Zhang Ming finished speaking, the prince's bodyguard came to convey the message.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty also summoned the Left and Right Prime Ministers at the same time, asking them to enter the palace immediately."

With these words, Zhang Ming became even more convinced of the correctness of his conjecture.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty should have just called you to discuss important matters. He certainly did not want to blame you."

The prince's mood finally calmed down.

However, he had no intention of letting Zhang Ming go, and still glared at him viciously.

"Zhang Ming, no matter why my father suddenly summoned me today, I will never let you go!"

His staff actually dared to go so close to the goddess behind his back.

This is simply treating him as nothing.

The goddess and the eldest princess worked together to win over the ministers in the court, just to go against themselves.

Their purpose was to get rid of the goddess, and now he absolutely could not tolerate having such an aide beside him who was talking secretly with the goddess.

Zhang Ming naturally knew what the prince could think of.

But what he knows better is that if he doesn't cooperate with the goddess, and the goddess agrees to Uncle Jiang's cooperation, he will be the one who suffers.

The goddesses on the left and right are just a generation of women, and they can't make any waves.

As long as he leaves Uncle Jiang first and establishes a unique position in front of the prince, then there is no need to worry that his future will not be prosperous.

With this in mind, Zhang Ming spoke respectfully, "Your Highness, I am not meeting the goddess for my own selfish reasons. Your Highness has been summoned by His Majesty, so please do not delay. When Your Highness returns home, I will tell you the truth."

It has to be said that Zhang Ming's attitude and rhetoric barely made the prince's anger dissipate a little, and the eyes he looked at him softened.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'll kill you!"

This made it clear that if Zhang Ming couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would abandon him.

The prince has always been like this, treating all his staff as tools.

If anyone is useful to him and can be used well and smoothly by him, then he will be kind to him.

But if anyone threatens his great cause, no matter how great his achievements have been, he will go out without hesitation.

"Yes, when His Majesty comes back, I will definitely give him an explanation."

But now, he would take this opportunity to think of some more reasons and excuses.

The conversation between them actually made Uncle Jiang listen, and it caused ripples in his heart.

Now, he has changed from the closest aide to the prince to the last one, the most inconspicuous aide staying in the corner.

It's exactly where Zhang Ming was in the past.

But this is not a long-term solution. He must find an opportunity to get out of Zhang Ming and regain the prince's favor.

For a time, everyone on the Prince's side was harboring evil intentions.

The Zuo Xiangfu seemed much more harmonious.

The left prime minister's sons are all very old, and he also wants to let them participate in political affairs, so whenever there is news of the emperor's summons, he will inform them and let them analyze it.

This time is no exception.

The difference from the past is that they are now on the side of the eldest princess and are the subordinates of the goddess.

"Father, since Your Majesty is anxious to see you so late, he must have other urgent matters to discuss with you."

"Yes, and both the prince and the right minister were summoned at the same time. Something big must have happened to your majesty."

The prince is the crown prince, and the left and right prime ministers are the emperor's right-hand men.

For the emperor to summon them at the same time, something extremely important must have happened.

Zuo still agrees with their analysis, "So how do you think a father should behave?"

If the emperor comes to discuss important matters with them, he will inevitably have to express his views and opinions.

If you say the wrong thing at this time, it will be a serious crime that will harm the nine tribes.

The left prime minister's question made the seven young masters stunned. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

It was the eldest son who had the idea first.

"Father, now we are on the same side as the goddess. No matter what His Majesty says or asks, we must ensure that the interests of the goddess will not be harmed."

The goddess is their current master.

And only the goddess can lead them to create that new world.

"What you said makes some sense, but aren't you going to reveal your identity for your father?"

The emperor currently does not know that he has joined the eldest princess's camp and become a goddess.

Although the prince knew about it, he had a tacit understanding and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to mention this matter to the emperor.

The emperor was suspicious, and was disgusted with this kind of clique in the court, and could even be called disgusted.

If they just admit that the forces of the leftist faction have surrendered to the eldest princess camp, wouldn't there be a big problem?

This is also the point that the left prime minister is most worried about.

The seven young masters could not think of any good ideas for the moment, so they could only remain silent.

The air fell into silence for a moment.

But the emperor called him urgently, and if he didn't enter the palace, he might be blamed by the emperor, so the left prime minister had no choice but to prepare to enter the palace.

Just when he was about to step out of the front hall, An Qingge hurried over, breathing heavily.

"Who said that the only way for father to reveal his identity in front of the emperor is?"

When the left minister saw that it was her, he didn't care about what she said, so he asked doubtfully: "Qingge, why are you here?"

"Father, don't worry about why I'm here, first think about the principles of how to act in the palace."

An Qingge didn't bother to reply, so he spoke out his thoughts completely.

"Father, the prince has also been summoned to the palace by the emperor tonight, and he has always liked to be the enemy of Sister Acha, and he also knows your identity."

"So you only need to give the emperor advice on things that are beneficial to Sister Acha and let him punish Sister Acha severely. Then the prince will definitely think that you have some secret plan and prepare to target him."

"When the time comes, there will be no need for you, father, to advise the emperor. The prince himself will choose the side that is beneficial to Sister Acha."

"If the matter proposed by the emperor is not good for Sister Acha, then father should follow the prince's point of view. I guarantee that he will choose another aspect in the end out of worry."

An Qingge knew the prince's nature very well.

On weekdays, the prince has a lot of staff to make plans, and he is quite smart in his actions.

But once these staff are gone, the prince's mind will not know where to forget.

If you use a little bit of his suspicion as a raft, Sister Acha will be fine.

Sure enough, after Zuo Xiang silently pondered this idea in his mind, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Qing Ge, you are worthy of being my father's daughter. This kind of mental strategy is far beyond ordinary people!"

An Qingge was not modest either, so he saluted gracefully.

"Daughter, thank you very much for your father's compliment."

"Okay, it's getting late. My father will go to the palace first. I will reward you well after my father returns home."

Prime Minister Zuo went out with a heart of relief, while the seven young masters in Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion all looked at their little sister with pride.

"Little sister, your method is really wonderful!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that my little sister is already smart and beautiful at the same time!"

"That's right, our little sister is naturally determined!"

An Qingge couldn't help but blush as she listened to the waves of rainbow farts.

She knew she was great, but the compliments from her brothers really made her a little embarrassed.

It was the eldest son who noticed her embarrassment first and took the initiative to help her out.

"Little sister, don't you have something else to do? Why don't you hurry up and don't delay?"

As the eldest son spoke, he kept winking at An Qingge.

Almost instantly, An Qingge understood what he meant.

"Yes, brothers, I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

Only then did the young masters let her go.

After escaping from his brothers, An Qingge finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

If her eldest brother hadn't sent someone to notify her just now, she might have really missed her father.

And if her father entered the palace like that, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Sister Acha.

It seems that I really need to find a chance to have a good talk with my father.

She is no longer a child and can take care of her father's worries.

Of course, she does have more important things to do now.

An Qingge quickly wrote a letter and handed it to his maid.

"Hurry up and take this letter to Tingyuyuan. It must be delivered to Sister Acha."

In the letter, she told sister Acha that the emperor had urgently summoned her tonight.

She was worried that if Sister Acha didn't receive the news in time, there would be no way to deal with it in time, and something bad would happen.

Unlike her worries here, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion seemed much duller.

The right minister is a newly promoted middle-aged man. He is not too old, but his background is very profound.

It seems that no one except the emperor knows his origins.

However, he also won the emperor's trust and entrusted him with important tasks.

"Let's go. Since His Majesty has urgently summoned us, let's enter the palace quickly."

The attendants following him were hesitant.

"Master, your Majesty..." The right minister raised his eyes and looked at him deeply, "There is nothing more to do. I am your Majesty's minister, and I will be your Majesty's horse and horse."

When the emperor was waiting impatiently in the palace, the prince, left prime minister and right prime minister all arrived together.

"My son has seen his father."

"The old minister sees His Majesty."

"The old minister sees His Majesty."

When three voices sounded together in front of the emperor, the emperor suddenly came back from his anxiety.

"You are finally here. I have something to discuss with you."

The emperor was anxious, and even his tone of voice was a little anxious.

"Then Song Yunan insists that I remove him from his post as commander of the imperial army and send him back to the border. In your opinion, what should I do?"

The emperor's unusual appearance was noticed by the left prime minister, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Father, I think that since Song Yunan is willing to take the initiative to remove him from the post of commander of the imperial army, then just remove him, and he will be nothing more than an ordinary general when he returns to the border."

The prince had other plans in mind.

For so many years, he had been trying to win over Song Yunan, but he was always rejected.

But now he finally had a chance. As long as he sent Song Yunan to the border, he could place his own manpower in the position of commander of the Forbidden Army.

Then it will be easier for him to do things.

The emperor did not express his position, but looked at the left and right prime ministers who had remained silent.

"What do you two dear ladies think I should do?"

With everything being pointed out, the left prime minister naturally had to stand up and explain his point of view.

"I believe that Commander Song has served as the commander of the Forbidden Army for many years. He has handled matters cautiously and never made any omissions. There is no general more suitable than him to continue to hold this position."

The current Zuo Xiang still doesn't know whether this matter is beneficial or detrimental to the goddess. He can only express his views from the opposite direction to the prince.

When it was the turn of the Right Prime Minister, he seemed a little different.

"I feel that a general like Commander Song can't do anything practical even if he goes to the border. Why don't you allow him to take up an official position and retire and return to his hometown in advance?"

After listening to their respective opinions, the emperor finally said the most important point.

"Then Song Yunan wants me to send him back to the border, but he threatens me with the imperial city's defense map!"

"He keeps saying that if I don't send him back to the border, he will spread the news about the Imperial City's defense situation!"

When they heard the defense plan of the imperial city, the expressions of the prince, left prime minister, and right prime minister all changed drastically.

This is the defense plan of the imperial city, and it is related to the safety of everyone in the palace.

Once it was leaked, the consequences would be far beyond what any of them could bear.

But just to return to the border, Song Yunan did not hesitate to threaten the emperor with defense plans.

That would be too bold.

But the prince was a little lucky.

Song Yunan's move was tantamount to completely irritating the emperor. He would definitely not be able to sit firmly as the commander of the imperial army.

You can arrange your manpower by yourself.

The prince suppressed his excitement and excitement and pretended to be a little worried: "Father, I think it is better to just comply with Commander Song's wishes. This is worse than if he really leaked the defense plan."

By this time, Prime Minister Zuo also guessed Song Yunan's intention.

Song Yunan did not hesitate to use his biggest trump card to threaten the emperor, which meant that he must have the intention of returning to the border.

Others may not know it clearly, but Prime Minister Zuo, who has been an official in the court for many years, knows best about Song Yunan's heart that is far away from the border.

He was forced by the imperial decree to become the commander of the forbidden army. He was not suitable for this capital at all.

Now that he can regain his desire to return to the border, it must have something to do with going to listen to Yuyuan's decree tonight.

This must be part of the goddess's arrangement.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial City's defense plan is of great importance and must not be leaked out like this."

The left prime minister's face was sad, and he said with a bit of sincerity, "Old minister, I beg your majesty, for the sake of safety, please comply with his request first, and then proceed slowly."

Hearing that both the prince and the left prime minister supported letting Song Yunan go back to the border, the emperor was a little shaken.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Right Sumo, who had been silent all this time, fell to his knees in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Song Yunan already has evil intentions. If he is sent back to the border at this time, he will undoubtedly be raising trouble!"

The emperor suddenly woke up.

Yes, he was originally worried that Song Yunan would strengthen his power after returning to the border and pose a threat to him.

Seeing that the emperor was about to be convinced by his right minister, the prince quickly scolded him.

"Right Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense!"

"Father, he is wise and powerful, and there are so many outstanding ministers in the court, but he just sent Song Yunan to a bitter and cold place, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, what kind of trouble can he cause!"

"Your Highness, Song Yunan may not be able to make any waves, but we must at least make preparations first!"

The right minister's words made it clear that he didn't want to give the prince face, and insisted on persuading the emperor to keep Song Yunan in the capital.

The prince will never tolerate a duck that is about to reach his mouth and fly away.

"Right Chancellor, is it really feasible for you to prepare with such nonsense speculation?"

"Song Yunan is just a person. What kind of storm can he stir up to make you so afraid? You might as well tell your right minister and let your father hear it, so that we can make some preparations for you earlier."

Two rhetorical questions in a row made the right minister choke, and he didn't know what to reply for a long time.

The emperor was already irritable enough, but he became even more irritable after listening to the argument between the two of them.

"That's enough! You all shut up! Let the Prime Minister tell me your opinion!"

The left prime minister, who originally had a mentality of watching the excitement and eating melons, was suddenly called out, and he was still a little confused.

He did guess the goddess's arrangement and Song Yunan's intention, but he had no intention of saying it out loud.

He thought that he could just sit on Tiger Mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then reap the benefits himself.

But now that the emperor had pointed it out, he had to express his opinion.

"I think what the prince said makes sense."

"The imperial city's defense map can be said to control the lifeblood of the entire imperial city. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Commander Song is now exchanging the defense map of the imperial city with His Majesty."

"As long as His Majesty sends him back to the border as he wishes, he will definitely not leak the defense plan."

"As for Commander Song going to the border, I think the right prime minister is overly worried."

"Even if the general at the border has military power, his power is limited after all. He can't deploy many people. If he dares to expand his power, he will definitely be discovered."

"In this way, the dangers caused by raising tigers mentioned by the right minister will no longer exist."

The left minister analyzed everything point by point very well, and the emperor finally made a decision in his heart.

"Father, I think what Zuo Xiang said is very reasonable. Song Yunan dares to threaten you with a defense plan. He must not stay in the position of commander of the Forbidden Army for any longer."

The prince's timely supplement made the emperor firmer in his decision.

"Okay, then I will send Song Yunan back to the border as you said!"

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

The right minister knew that he would never be able to successfully convince the emperor again, so he could only shout along with the left minister.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The emperor had been irritable for a day, finally made a decision, and wanted to take a rest.

"You all should go back to your home. I'm a little tired."

The prince and left prime minister were eager to leave as soon as possible and immediately resigned.

The right minister seemed to have not heard the emperor's words and still stood where he was.

Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, the emperor asked with a bit of impatience.

"Right Prime Minister, why are you still here?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

With that said, the right minister knelt down straight in front of the emperor.

The emperor calmly took two steps back.

"If you have anything to say, dear, just say it. I'm here to listen."

"I believe that Your Majesty will never let the Thirteenth Prince leave the capital, let alone make him king."

As soon as the right minister's words came out, the emperor's eyes changed when he looked at him.

This was obviously an imperial edict that he had not spread for a long time, so how could he know about it?
There is definitely no collusion between Song Yunan and the Right Prime Minister.

That means that the right minister has also placed some helpers around him.

As an emperor, he must not allow such risks to exist around him.

But obviously the right minister was not aware of the emperor's suspicion and kept talking about his own views.

"Your Majesty, the thirteenth prince has just broken off his engagement with the goddess. If you give him such great power, I'm afraid he will have other ideas and threaten your throne."

The emperor was speechless.

Nonsense, if he doesn't send Tuoba Jun out of the capital, let alone threaten the throne, his own life will be almost gone.

If he dies, then what's the use of having more thrones.

"I know it well, so you don't have to worry."

It's okay if the emperor doesn't say it, but he becomes even more anxious when he mentions it to the right minister.

"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Prince now has so much power. If he loses his connection with the goddess Lotus, it will be a serious problem."

"The goddess is too mysterious. She has mysterious power that I don't know where it comes from. If she joins forces with the Thirteenth Prince, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid of nothing!"

The emperor's patience was completely exhausted, and he roared in anger.

"Am I the emperor or you are the emperor?"

"Do I still need a minister like you to point out my decree?"

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more!"

"It's getting late, you step back."

The emperor didn't want to see him again at all.

He was still able to accept suggestions given to him not to let Tuoba Jun leave the capital.

But if Acha and Tuoba Jun would unite, the emperor would never believe it.

Now Ah Cha is the only person who can make him immortal, and it is his own choice to transfer Tuoba Jun to leave the capital.

Moreover, comparing Ah Cha and Tuoba Jun, it is clear that this right minister is the one with ulterior motives.

How daring to put people around him!
