Mo Yi sat on a small chair in front of the dragon throne. Because the chair was not placed on the steps, after he sat down, he was shorter than the standing ministers.

When he looked at everyone, he had to look up, which made him look even weaker since he did not have the aura of a prince.

The other ministers looked at the prince in front of them, some frowned, while others looked at him inquiringly.

The prince still looks the same as before, but there’s something a little different about him.

Duke Su stood aside, glanced at the prince, and said nothing.

He was still waiting for news. As for any arguments in the court today, he had no intention of participating.

He had already informed the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works and asked them not to say too much today.

Even if you think that thing is weird, don't talk nonsense. This person in the palace is the best at fishing.

The Crown Princess, whose mind is as vicious as a honeycomb, has no idea what she is thinking, so it’s better not to be the first to get involved.

Duke Su has become completely obedient since the incident with the Second Prince.

Because of the Second Prince, he also lost a lot. In the past, he tried to win over the Second Prince and secretly supported him, but he caused him to lose a lot of land. Those were all mature fields!

Now all of them have been collected by the Crown Princess. It is almost autumn harvest, and the crops in the fields have been taken over by the Crown Princess's people.

The steward below came back to report that those damn eunuchs were truly omnipresent.

Zuo Pushe and other ministers could not lower their heads to look at the prince, so they led the officials to take a few steps back.

Mo Yi felt a little more comfortable now. "All the officials from the six ministries and nine departments in the court are here."

This small court meeting was organized temporarily and was not so formal.

Zuo Pushe turned his head and looked, then said, "Replying to the Crown Prince, the new Minister of War Xiao Jingrui and the Right Vice Minister of Rites Xie Yu'an have not arrived yet."

When Zuo Pushe said this, he looked at the prince with some grievance.

He had tried so hard to please the prince, but he was like a stone that could not be warmed up.

There was such a big personnel reshuffle in the Secretariat, but he, the Zuo Pushe, didn't even know about it.

It's a pity that he is still running around among the ministers for the prince.

This was the first time Mo Yi had heard of these two appointments. Because of the information monopoly, he was hearing about them for the first time. "What appointments? Who issued the imperial decree?"

Ministers: "........."

Mo Yi stood up angrily and glared at the ministers, "Tell me, when was the imperial decree issued?"

Mo Yi was really angry. He had been feeling uneasy since Xiao Jingrui came back.

Now, it is Xiao Jingrui who took over the Ministry of War?

What does he want to do?

Suddenly, Mo Yi's heart became flustered.

In the hearts of the Zhenbei Army, Xiao Jingrui's status is not much weaker than Zhao Zhen.

The Xiao family and the Zhao family have always had a close relationship.

The "Xiao" in Zhao Nanxiao's name is taken from his mother's surname.

The other ministers were completely confused when they saw the prince so furious.

These two people were the prince's former confidants. No wonder the prince was dissatisfied with this arrangement.

If you are not satisfied, why did you issue these two imperial edicts?

Could it be?

Wasn’t the imperial edict issued by the crown prince?

Suddenly, the ministers smelled a conspiracy.

There were also those ministers who loved to watch the show. They suddenly felt that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were about to fight!

I don't know why it's so stimulating. What's going on?

Fight, fight!

The Crown Princess deserves a good beating.

Those ministers who had previously looked down upon the Crown Princess all hoped that the Crown Prince would be able to show his power this time and suppress the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess is just a woman, and she has been arrogant for too long.

The Right Servant spoke up at this time, "Your Highness, last night, before the palace was locked, two imperial edicts were sent out, one to the Xiao family and one to the Xie family. Could it be that these two imperial edicts were not issued by Your Highness?"

You Pushe had long guessed that the imperial edict was made by the Crown Princess, as could be seen from the Crown Prince's surprised expression just now.

Now he was going to add fuel to the fire and expose the fact that the Crown Princess had secretly withheld the imperial seal.

The ministers who used to like to pretend to be ignorant should no longer continue to act deaf and dumb.

Mo Yi said in a deep voice: "I have never issued these two imperial decrees. Although Xiao Hou is my cousin, he has little experience and cannot be given such a high position just because he is a relative of this prince.

The position of Minister of War is so important, how can it be treated so lightly! "

"Besides, Xie Yu'an is disabled and his face is disfigured. It is already a great mercy for me to let him be a secretary. How can he be admitted into the six ministries?"

Everyone could hear the disdain in Mo Yi's voice.

All the ministers looked at the prince in front of them, and no matter whether they wanted to support him or not, they all felt unhappy in their hearts.

The people who once assisted you so much are now despised by you. If we turn to them, what will happen to us?

For a moment, those who had originally agreed to join the chain began to hesitate.

Zuo Pushe, who was standing by, was so anxious that he wondered if the prince was stupid.

Why bother talking about these details?

The topic has already involved the Crown Princess, so just continue with this point.

At this time, he had no choice but to continue: "Your Highness, the imperial edict has the seal of the Jade Seal. If it is not issued by the Crown Prince, then it must be issued by the Crown Princess."

At this time, Zuo Pushe turned around and looked at the other ministers, "My dear ministers, the crown prince has now returned to the capital. When the previous emperor passed away and the crown prince was still young, it was understandable that the crown princess was in charge of government affairs."

"But now that the Crown Prince has returned to the capital, the Imperial Seal should be returned to him."

"Besides, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. It is better for the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible to reassure the people."

Other ministers: “………”

The other ministers remained silent, which made Zuo Pushe very embarrassed.

It was clearly agreed upon, so why don't these old foxes come out to support him?

Is there any integrity left?

After Zuo Pushe finished speaking, he saw that only a few people nodded, but did not speak a word, and he was so angry that he fell backwards.

At this time, he could only name the person, "Master Yuan, do you think what I said is right?"

Zuo Pushe remembered that this old fellow was the one who had confronted the Crown Princess and proposed to establish a crown prince.

Grand Tutor Yuan stood up and said, "Master Gong is right!"

Grand Tutor Yuan also did not advocate women being in power. Although he felt that the crown prince had changed a little, he still believed that the crown prince could ascend the throne.

With the support of Grand Tutor Yuan, many other ministers who were waiting on the sidelines stood up and seconded the motion.

You Pushe looked at Li Chun and asked, "What do you think, Zhongshu Ling?"

Li Chun also stood up and said, "The Crown Prince is the heir to a country and the future ruler of the world, but I think the most urgent task now is to hold the funeral of the late emperor. After the funeral, it would be best for Your Highness to ascend the throne."

Mo Yi already knew who Li Chun belonged to. He sneered, "Minister of the Central Secretariat, you are really a good dog of the Crown Princess!"

"I am the crown prince, but you don't take me seriously. Do you only recognize the crown princess as your master?"

"Humph, Qin is just the daughter of a blacksmith. I was able to establish her in the past, but I can also depose her now!"

At this time, a female voice sounded, "Really?"

"I want to see who wants to depose me?"
