I want to ruin the country

Qi Ying's words were very blunt, and the person who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble was Du Shoutian.

Du Shoutian was so angry that his beard stood up.

"Master Qiying, are you saying that Du is taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble?"

Qiying laughed and said,

"You are the Imperial Preceptor. The Emperor has just ascended the throne. It is the time when you, Lord Du, are in high spirits and ready to make great plans.

Now that the Emperor has passed away, you are the one who is most reluctant, right? But the Emperor has already passed away, so what if you don't want to admit it?"

This is the situation, but it’s meaningless to talk about it. The officialdom’s emphasis is on seeing through things but not speaking them out loud!

Now Qi Ying is a murderous guy. If he takes a step towards Du Shoutian, his saliva will almost spray on Du Shoutian's face. He has no scruples at all!

Du Shoutian was so anxious that his face flushed. Just as he was about to argue, another voice rang out.

"The Emperor's life or death is uncertain, yet you're forcing him. What will you say if the Emperor wakes up?"

This is the emperor's nephew, Prince Heshuo Yi, and the Imperial Minister and Grand Councilor Zaiyuan. It is obvious that he supports Du Shoutian.

When Du Shoutian saw someone joining in, he became even more arrogant and angrily shouted,

"Well, you're so anxious to appoint a new emperor now. If the emperor wakes up in a while, how will you face him and how will it end?"

At this time, another voice was heard. It was Wen Qing, the commander of the infantry and the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, who spoke.

"Master Du is right. If the Emperor Hongfu Qitian wakes up and you announce Prince Gong's succession early, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Before Wen Qing finished speaking, another person said,

"What's there to hesitate about? The Emperor has already passed away, so he should have announced Prince Gong as the new emperor. Is there a second person to choose from?"

This was Senglinqin, the Commander-in-Chief of the Bordered Yellow Banner Mongolians, the Grand Councilor and Minister of War. He also meant that a new monarch should be appointed as soon as possible.

Sai Shang'a, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, the Grand Councilor, and the Minister of Revenue, said,

"What's the harm in waiting a little longer? If the Emperor truly ascends to heaven, only Prince Gong can succeed him. If the Emperor hasn't woken up after Prince Gong arrives, it won't be too late to make the announcement!"

He also supports Du Shoutian.

Yining understood that Mu Zhang'a, Qi Ying and Seng Linqin advocated that Prince Gong Yi Xin should succeed to the throne immediately.

It seems that Du Shoutian was really unwilling to accept that his disciple as the emperor died just after ascending the throne, so he tried his best to delay time and wait for a miracle to happen.

Zaiyuan, Wenqing and Saishang'a supported Du Shoutian.

Yining felt even more confused. Was this a dream or had he really traveled through time?

He tried hard to open his eyes, but they seemed to be covered with a layer of super glue and he couldn't open them no matter what!

He thought that he must be dreaming, and not being able to open his eyes was a sign of being trapped in a dream.

If it was a dream, this dream was too real!

He was anxious. Damn it, he was forced to travel through time and space to become the emperor, but why couldn't he even open his eyes?

Seeing that the throne of emperor was about to be snatched away by others and he was about to be buried in a grave as a dead man, was he going to be the emperor in the underworld?

There was no way. I couldn’t open my eyes, speak with my mouth, or move my body. I could only listen.

Mu Zhang'a saw that most of the important figures had expressed their opinions, but there were only Qi Ying, Seng Linqin and three others on his side, and he felt a little alone and weak. He was about to speak.

A man with a duck voice said,

"My Lords, the Emperor is blessed with great fortune and will surely recover. Let's have the Imperial Physician take another look!"

The person who spoke was Li Baoquan, the eunuch who served the emperor personally. He was really worried because the emperor couldn't wake up.

When Mu Zhang'a heard the eunuch interrupt, he was annoyed and said angrily,

"Get out of here! This is a matter of state. When is it your turn as a eunuch to make decisions?"

Eunuchs are incomplete people and are nothing in the eyes of these elders. However, Li Baoquan understands that if the emperor does not wake up, he will have no good days in the future.

For the sake of the emperor and himself, he was willing to risk it all. He frowned and glared and said,

"Master Mu, it is certainly not my place to interfere in national affairs, nor do I dare to do so.

But this concerns the safety of the Emperor. If anyone harms the Emperor, it is not wrong for me, as a servant, to protect my master!"

No matter how high Mu Zhang'a's official position was, he did not hold the position of Imperial Household Department concurrently, so he had no control over Li Baoquan.

Mu Zhang'a laughed in anger.

"Haha, you, a person with incomplete six senses, dare to be so arrogant. Lord Wen, is this the rule of your Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Wenqing was the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, so Mu Zhang'a asked this question.

Wen Qing was about to scold Li Baoquan, but Li Baoquan, who had already made up his mind, spoke first. Since the relationship had already been torn, there was nothing to be afraid of. The worst that could happen was that they could just be together.

"Master Mu, it's not our turn to speak on state affairs, but I, a lowly person, also serve the emperor.

The imperial physician said the emperor's gaze hadn't faded, and you're so anxious to say the emperor is gone now, is that the way of a minister?

How could Mu Zhang'a not be angry when a eunuch dared to contradict and question him in person? He flew into a rage and shouted,

"Rebellion, rebellion, explain to me clearly, what exactly does it mean?"

Li Baoquan said,

"Isn't it very clear? Lord Du and the others have said that the emperor still has a chance of waking up. Aren't you anxious to appoint a new emperor just hoping that the emperor won't wake up?

Anyone who wants to harm the emperor, this servant has also learned a few tricks of martial arts, I dare not say more, but I can still do it if I fight to the end!"

Being told what was on his mind, Mu Zhang'a flew into a rage.

"You are committing treason, you dog slave! Who gave you the guts? Someone, drag this slave out and feed him to the dogs!"

Li Baoquan became more and more brave, and he knelt before Yining's couch, kowtowed three times, tears streaming down his face, and he sobbed,

"Your Majesty, I can no longer serve you!"

He turned around and cursed at Mu Zhang'a,

"Traitor, even though I have flaws, I still have a heart full of passion to serve the Emperor. I will fight you to the death!"

After saying that, he stood up and rushed towards Mu Zhang'a.

Mu Zhang'a seemed to know that Li Baoquan was skilled in martial arts and did not dare to underestimate him. He dodged backwards and shouted,

"Someone, come quickly, drag this pickled dog out!"

A loud shout was heard,

"stop!"

But it was Du Shoutian who stood in front of Li Baoquan.

"Master Li, please step aside. The Emperor's fate is uncertain, yet you are making a scene. How disgraceful!"

Li Baoquan had to stop because he had to give Du Shoutian face. He knew in his heart that Du Shoutian was saving him. No matter what, this was a crime worthy of death a hundred times!

Du Shoutian questioned,

"Master Mu, what's wrong with what Li Zongguan said? Why are you so persistent?"

Mu Zhang, a chief military minister, was naturally unwilling to be humiliated by a fifth-rank eunuch. He said angrily,

"Master Du, how can I allow this eunuch to insult me? I will not let him off today!"
