The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman
Chapter 403: Betting on a Bet
Xie Lingxiao glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, then looked up at Xie Zihan and chuckled.
"I didn't expect that the Crown Prince, as regent, couldn't even decide to meet the Emperor. If that's the case, you should leave the palace."
The ministers all looked up at Xie Lingxiao. Seeing that he was staring at them intently, the Minister of Justice said, "Okay, Your Highness, please report as soon as possible so that we can see the emperor soon."
Xie Zihan breathed a sigh of relief: "You can leave without worry. I will report to my father after the court is dismissed."
He glanced at the young eunuch beside him, who said in a hurry: "Dismiss..."
The minister who had not been involved in this matter just now shook his head slightly and turned to walk out of the hall.
After the Minister of Justice and his entourage stood up, they glanced at Xie Lingxiao. Although they felt helpless, they had to leave.
After this incident, they have been exposed, and Xie Zihan will not let them go easily.
Just like the Minister of War? I'm afraid it will be even more serious than his.
Thinking of this, the Minister of Justice and others quickly walked out of the hall.
It's time to arrange a retreat for the people in the mansion.
Xie Lingxiao glanced at Xie Zihan nonchalantly, then left with the minister.
He walked out of the palace gate together with all the civil and military officials in the court.
Xie Lingxiao glanced at the Minister of Justice. After noticing this, the Minister of Justice paused slightly as he walked towards the carriage.
Their eyes met, Xie Lingxiao glanced at him, and got on the carriage of the Regent's Palace.
"Have the eldest and second princes arrived?"
"Here I am. I have been waiting for a long time."
After Ling Feng finished speaking, Xie Lingxiao lifted the curtain and looked towards the palace gate, only to see the Minister of Justice staring at his carriage.
Xie Lingxiao nodded slightly at him.
The Minister of Justice frowned. What happened to the Regent today? Why did he behave strangely from time to time?
The Minister of Finance stood beside him. Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, he asked in confusion, "What are you thinking about? Are you scared silly by the Regent?"
The Minister of Justice suddenly looked at him, and the corners of his lips gradually curled up: "Old man, do you dare to take a gamble?"
"Bet? Do we still need to bet now? In any case, after what happened in the morning court, we have been exposed. Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan will not let us go easily."
The Minister of Revenue looked in the direction of Xie Lingxiao. The carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace had not left yet, so he continued, "It would be better to go back and dismiss the people in the palace."
The Minister of Justice said with a smile: "Just let the servant go back and let them know. Old man, you are not as courageous as before."
After saying this, she turned around and knelt down towards the palace gate, ignoring his wide eyes.
The Regent looked at him frequently, which made him think of the timing mentioned by the Emperor.
Since he had not been successful during the morning court session, the carriage from the Regent's Palace was not in a hurry to leave. I wonder if this was what the Regent had in mind.
The Minister of Justice looked towards the carriage of the Regent's Palace, and when he saw Xie Lingxiao nodding at him again, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
He guessed correctly.
The moment the Minister of Revenue saw him kneeling, he knew what he was thinking.
It was just as he said, and the matter of disbanding the family could be resolved by letting the servant go back and inform them.
Nowadays, if you stick your head out, you will get hurt. If you hide your head, you will get hurt too.
He took a gamble.
The Minister of Revenue stepped forward and knelt beside the Minister of Justice. The two smiled at each other and made the same decision, just as they had decided to follow the emperor back then.
"Have you thought it through, old man? If not, you and I might die on the spot."
"Humph, you and I were not afraid of the battle for the throne back then, so what are you afraid of now?"
The Minister of Revenue continued, "The passion of our youth brought us to our current positions. Now we are just old bones. What else do we have to worry about?"
After saying this, the two of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand and kowtowed towards the city gate: "Your Highness, we wish to see you..."
As the two shouted, the people who had already boarded the carriage lifted the curtains one after another.
When he saw the two men's behavior, there was nothing but shock on his face.
After the two shouted for the third time, the people who had been kneeling beside them during the morning court quickly got off the carriage and knelt behind them one by one.
As time went by, more and more people got involved, and Xie Zian and Xie Ziling came to them.
The two men bowed to them, then turned and knelt right in front of them.
"Your son wishes to see your father..." The two men knelt straight in front, looking in the direction of the palace gate.
As soon as Xie Zian and Xie Ziling finished speaking, the ministers, led by the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Justice, continued to kowtow and shout.
For a moment, the entire front of the palace was filled with endless shouts.
Xie Zihan had just arrived at the Queen's bedroom and hadn't even seen Lu Zhong and the Queen when he heard the guards guarding the palace gate coming in panic to report.
He said unhappily, "What's the use of you when you are so flustered when things happen?"
The guard stopped and knelt on the ground with a plop. He pursed his lips, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Your Highness, the ministers have not left..."
Xie Zihan interrupted him: "If he didn't leave, then he didn't leave. Why did he make you so flustered?"
"But they... but they won't leave the palace gate..."
Xie Zihan slammed the table: "If they don't leave, let them wait there. I want to see how long they can wait there."
The guard looked at Xie Zihan in shock, not understanding why he didn't let him finish his words before making such a conclusion.
"Go to the palace gate and continue guarding. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
The guard stood up and walked out of the hall. After taking a few steps, he turned around and glanced at Xie Zihan.
When Lu Zhong walked out of the inner hall, he saw the guards and asked, "What happened?"
When Xie Zihan saw him, he became even more furious: "Do you know what you are doing? You don't even go to the morning court. Do you want to stop being the prime minister?"
Lu Zhong frowned and said, "With you in the court, what difference does it make whether I go or not?"
Xie Zihan stood up suddenly: "What's the difference? Now that the emperor is under house arrest, the queen mother and the imperial concubine are under strict guard, it is already known to everyone."
"In the morning court today, Xie Lingxiao and a group of ministers asked whether this matter was true, and some people even wanted to see the emperor."
"I want to ask you, what's the difference between you going and not going?"
Lu Zhong suddenly looked at Xie Zihan: "What did you say? Where are those ministers now?"
He knew those ministers well. No matter what happened, they would not embarrass Xie Zihan at the morning court.
Now that they dare to do this, it might be the work of Xie Lingxiao?
Seeing the two people arguing, the guard didn't know whether he should leave. After hearing Lu Zhong's words, he didn't know whether he should answer first.
He looked at Xie Zihan, and seeing that he looked unhappy, he stood there obediently and kept silent about the matter.
Xie Zihan taunted, "It's rare that the Prime Minister still cares about this matter, but it doesn't hurt to tell you that they didn't leave at the palace gate."
Lu Zhong's heart skipped a beat. Didn't he leave?
Seeing Xie Zihan's nonchalant look, Lu Zhong suddenly felt that this matter was unusual.
Lu Zhong looked at the guards: "What are they doing in front of the palace gate?"
The guard answered truthfully: "Kneel down and ask to see the emperor."
After thinking for a while, he continued, "The eldest prince and the second prince also want to see the emperor."
After hearing what the guard said, Lu Zhong felt his forehead throbbing. He glared at Xie Zihan: "You are so stupid."
After saying this, he quickly ran out of the hall without caring whether Xie Zihan was angry or not.
