Seeing that the princes were so aggressive and seemed to be trying to force the emperor to abdicate, Wei Yu's eyes gradually turned cold.

"How dare you! Even though you are princes, you are not yet the crown prince of Xiayang. It is not your turn to question me."

At this moment, Wei Yu was like a dying lion, and his remaining power swept across the Taiji Hall.

Wei Yu's cold eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then he slowly said: "I really don't know where the emperor is in seclusion. Even the five guardians who serve the emperor don't know. We can prove this to each other."

"Everyone, although you are all my juniors, you have lived with me for several years or even decades. When have I ever told a lie? I guarantee with my character that I have absolutely no selfish motives towards Xia Yang."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, because everyone had witnessed Prime Minister Wei Yu's contribution to Xiayang, and no one present was qualified to question what Wei Yu said at this moment.

The eldest prince Tang Chengqian also realized that he had spoken out of turn, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Old Wei, I did not mean to offend you, but I was too worried about what my father said and was a little anxious. Please forgive me, Old Wei."

Wei Yu, leaning on a cane, snorted coldly at Tang Chengqian, not giving him a good look at all.

As for the other princes who had agreed before, they no longer dared to say anything at this moment. After all, with Wei Yu's influence in the court, it would really bring difficulties to their fight for the throne.

Wei Yu did not think too much about it, but turned to look in the direction of the civil and military officials and said slowly:

"Everyone, you are all the pillars of the Xiayang Dynasty. Xiayang is now in crisis. The most urgent task is to find a solution to the current situation. If this matter is not handled with care, it may lead to the collapse of the dynasty."

"I wonder if you have any solution at this moment. If you have any, please share it with me."

As Wei Yu asked this question, the scene suddenly fell into silence, so quiet that one could almost hear a pin drop.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yu seemed to be amused by the anger, and said in a cold and calm voice: "Haha, there are ministers in the whole hall, including some provincial governors, but no one dares to come forward to propose it."

"Humph, if that's the case, then you should just follow the emperor's arrangements."

As soon as he finished speaking, several princes and civil and military officials were stunned, and they all looked in the direction of Wei Yu in horror.

Prime Minister Wei Yu walked towards the jade steps with his back to the crowd. At this moment, the eunuch Wu Bao came out from behind the screen holding a tray.

The two stood on the jade steps. Wei Yu reached out and picked up an imperial edict and said, "Everyone, this was written by His Majesty during his retreat. His Majesty had long expected that someone would rebel during this period, so he issued these imperial edicts."

"These imperial edicts are not only the solution left by His Majesty to solve the current situation, but also a test."

After saying that, he looked at the eldest prince Tang Chengqian who was standing in the front.

Tang Chengqian felt the burning gaze of Prime Minister Wei Yu, and lowered his head in shame and guilt.

Wei Yu did not stay on the eldest prince Tang Chengqian for too long, although he glanced at the other princes.

The civil and military officials in the rear all showed curious expressions. They all wanted to know what kind of strategy their secluded Majesty had left behind and how he resolved this crisis.

In the crowd, Wei Zheng, Yan Yonghe and others had a hint of deep meaning in their eyes. They were also very curious about what was written on the imperial edict.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Prime Minister Wei Yu finally slowly opened the imperial edict, glanced at everyone, and then slowly read out:

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

In recent days, I have felt very tired in handling government affairs, and I feel quite powerless. I have also realized that someone seems to be targeting Xia Yang in secret. They have high cultivation and are very hidden. Therefore, I will take this opportunity to retreat for a period of time. On the one hand, I can have a good rest, and on the other hand, I can take this opportunity to hide behind the scenes and lure the enemy out of its hole.

Prime Minister, if the Xiayang Dynasty is already in turmoil, you can proceed according to the plan I discussed with you, and at the same time, read another imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials."

Prime Minister Wei Yu read it out slowly in one breath, swallowed his saliva and said: "Everyone, the imperial edict just now has already explained your majesty's plan very clearly. I believe there is no need for me to read it again."

After hearing the imperial edict just now, all the civil and military officials were covered in cold sweats. They had not expected that His Majesty was so scheming. He used the excuse of recuperating his health to lure out the snake.

Was the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole successful?

Of course it succeeded.

Don’t you see, under the rumor that the emperor was in a coma, two of the three princes of the Xiayang Dynasty had already rebelled and launched a rebellion, causing several states to fall into war;

If you don't see it, the East Sea monster seems to have also received the news, and can't help but launch an attack on Yunzhou, as if to occupy Xiayang's land. The only prince who didn't rebel has to guard Yunzhou and suppress the monster;

If you don't watch, the states are gradually in turmoil, the aristocratic families are ready to make a move, and the underworld forces are gaining fame. They are conquering each other, competing for territory and resources;

Don't you see that these princes who were crowned as kings and intended to compete for the throne could no longer suppress their wildly growing ambitions and wanted to sit on the throne;

If you don't see it, the civil and military officials in the court are scheming against each other, taking sides and excluding outsiders, making the court full of smoke;

The most important thing, and what everyone feared the most, was that the development of the situation really happened as His Majesty had predicted, and not only did their Majesty foresee it in advance, he also came up with a decision to deal with it.

Inside the Taiji Hall, the moment the imperial edict was heard, everyone showed all kinds of expressions.

The eldest prince Tang Chengqian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he listened to Tian Feng's words and did not force his father to abdicate. If he accidentally ruined his father's plan, he dared not imagine what kind of anger he would face.

The same was true for several other princes, and their faces did not look good.

Among the civil and military officials, those who came from aristocratic families, those who harbored secrets or had unclean families all tried their best to conceal their fear and tried their utmost to reduce their presence.

There were also Wei Zheng, Yan Yonghe, Lai Buyi and others, their faces showed a hint of shock, as if they were in deep thought.

Wei Zheng and his colleagues worked diligently in the court without taking sides randomly. They climbed to such a position relying on their own political ability and strength.

In the eyes of Prime Minister Wei Yu, they were just like himself, loyal to Xia Yang and loyal to Tang Tiansheng, so he couldn't help but favor them.

This is why they can remain safe and sound in the court where they form their own factions. This is not only due to their abilities, but also due to the secret attention and care of Prime Minister Wei Yu.

Prime Minister Wei Yu's cloudy eyes swept across the entire court, taking in everyone's expressions.

Then a sneer emerged in his heart. He knew that during the time he was in power, when the dynasty was in turmoil, some people had already begun to become dishonest.

Although the unconscious emperor was hidden by himself and Wubao, this trick could temporarily scare them, giving them the illusion that the emperor was always paying attention to the court and the dynasty, making most people restrain themselves.

It can also temporarily suppress the doubts in everyone's hearts.
