Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 447 Good show (4)

Zhuo Heng trembled unknowingly, he was already extremely terrified, but he still refused to give up, struggling desperately, "You treat uncle...to me like this, my brother will not let you go...my brother..."

Zhuo Yuan didn't know what he was doing outside, and he didn't dare to bring this matter up in front of Zhuo Yuan, and his threatening voice became weaker and weaker, until finally he couldn't continue.

And the emperor's eyes were as cold as ice, like a heavy knife hanging above Zhuo Heng's head, which would fall down at any time and kill him on the spot.

Finally, the emperor's tightly pursed lips moved, "You are so bold, you kill someone in the street, you stab the court official, come here, and put this person in death row! Take me to the Five Princes' Mansion and send Zhuo Yuan along with me, I would like to see how capable these two dogs are, how dare they disregard Gangji and regard me as nothing!"

As soon as the words fell, the common people came back from the shock, scrambling to kneel down on the mountain and shouting long live, Zhuo Heng was so frightened that his face was ashen, and he was directly dragged away by the guards lurking in the crowd.

Seeing this, Wu Danqing struggled forward and saluted, "Your Majesty is wise."

An exuberant private visit in micro-service ended in the emperor's fury. Wu Danqing was taken into the palace again to recuperate because of his injury.

Zhuo Yuan was also taken away by the imperial guards on the same day and put into death row.

Ning Yuyao figured out what happened on the street that day after a lot of research, and repeatedly went to the palace to ask the emperor to express his love, but was ruthlessly rejected, and even finally angered the emperor, saying that if he pleaded again, he would kill Zhuo immediately. Far away, Ning Yuyao had no choice but to give up and find another way.

A few days later, the emperor carried out a series of dismissals and promotions of officials.

A group of officials who were dismissed lost their positions one after another because of various trivial matters.There are various reasons for their loss of office, but one thing they have in common is that they are all officials from the faction that supported Ning Yuyao as the prince.

Most of the officials transferred by the emperor later were students of the old Prime Minister Pei Zhaohe.

Furthermore, the more eye-catching promotion was Wu Danqing's promotion from the Minister of rites to Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but what really shocked people was that Lu Boqi directly surpassed the position of Taifu and was promoted to Prime Minister in an extraordinary way.

The emperor's move caused an uproar in the court. Officials who had been keeping a wait-and-see attitude towards who would get the crown prince began to join the ranks of supporting the fifteenth prince. Even those who originally supported Ning Yuyao also began to turn against each other.

After all, from Pei Xiang's protégé to the promotion of Lu Boqi and Wu Danqing, this series of actions is enough to prove that the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's mind has been selected as the fifteenth prince.

In the face of a series of sudden changes, Ning Yuyao did not show any dissatisfaction, but secretly sent a reliable person to tell the officials who still supported him to be more careful and not to fall into Lu Boqi's hands.

The officials had to do as they were ordered, and they all put away their edge to hide their strengths and bide their time. However, new officials were dismissed every few days, and the whole court was panicked.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve is approaching, and Yujing ushered in the first heavy snowfall in history.

People love to talk about the auspicious snow year, and the strong festivities inside and outside the palace slightly dilute the tension in the court situation. Even the queen, who has always been respectful to the Buddha and does not care about world affairs, personally wrote a decree to congratulate the people.

The emperor was overjoyed and invited the queen to host the New Year's Eve dinner, but she was flatly rejected, and the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner fell on Concubine Yugui.
