Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time
Chapter 238 Forced into the Palace
Two men in palace robes walked in. When everyone saw their faces, they were shocked, because one of the two men was Ren Qishan, the most elegant scholar in the Great Chu, and the other was the Fifth Prince who was demoted to a commoner.
The two of them bowed, and the emperor smiled: "It's indeed been a while since I last saw you two."
Ren Qishan glared at the high and mighty emperor, the emperor whom he had personally promoted to the throne, but who, after growing stronger, actually wanted to kill him. He was not a man who would sit and wait for death. I can help you to the sky, but I can also pull you down.
Prime Minister Ye looked at Ren Qishan and asked, "Sir, what is your intention in suddenly appearing in the court?"
Ren Qishan looked at Prime Minister Ye with some regret: "Ye Chengming, you are the first Prime Minister to come out of my Jinghua Academy. Don't you know what I want to do?"
"Pooh." Prime Minister Ye staggered due to excitement. Minister Li quickly supported him and told him to calm down.
Ren Qishan's expression was haughty. He laughed heartily, then his expression suddenly turned cold. "This land of Great Chu has always been protected by my Ren family. The current emperor is unworthy of his position. Today, I will restore the government and return this land to its rightful owner, the Fifth Prince Li Wei."
Everyone exclaimed, "This is treasonous. Ren Qishan, you must think carefully about the consequences."
"I've thought it through long ago. I'm just returning it to its rightful owner. Ten years ago, before the late emperor fell ill, he had already passed the throne to the Fifth Prince. However, to protect our family's interests, our Ren family hid the late emperor's decree and passed it to the Third Prince, the current emperor, through his oral order."
And this thing?
Yeah, why haven’t we heard about it?
......
The emperor did not refute, and everyone thought that the emperor agreed with Ren Qishan's words, and some people's expressions began to become complicated.
Minister Chen asked, "Where is the late emperor's will?"
"Here at my house."
An old woman's voice was heard. Everyone looked and saw the Queen Mother being supported by someone. The palace maids quickly brought a chair for the Queen Mother.
The palace maid opened the will, walked among the ministers and asked them to take a closer look.
"Yes, it does say that the throne will be passed on to the Fifth Prince."
Prime Minister Ye took a look and found that there was indeed no problem with the will. Then the tricky question came. Everyone looked at Prime Minister Ye and the Grand Tutor. Their attitude was very important.
"The current emperor has been on the throne for ten years and has always been diligent and hardworking, loving the people. He is a wise ruler rarely seen in a century. Ren Qishan, you have manipulated the royal family for your own selfish interests. Your intentions are sinister. I, Ye Chengming, have been taught by you and I am grateful for your teachings. However, when it comes to the greater good of our country, there is no selfishness. From today on, we no longer have a teacher-student relationship. I, Ye Chengming, will be loyal only to the current emperor. Those who support me, please stand by me."
Prime Minister Ye stepped forward and walked to the right side of the emperor. Minister Chen, Minister Li, and others followed. Qiao Luochuan also wanted to follow. Li Zong gently pulled his belt, but he pretended not to see it and stood firmly beside Minister Chen. Minister Chen was very pleased.
Song Wen hesitated for a moment, then came over and stood next to Qiao Luochuan.
General Liu looked around. The ministers in the court were standing in two rows, with about the same number of people on each side. He smiled and said, "I'll say a few words, and then you'll make another choice. The military power of Chunan and Chubei is in our hands, as are the Imperial Guards in the capital. We've also replaced the Imperial Guards with our own men. And Ye Qingchen and the Seventh Prince, who you rely on, are still searching for Ye Youlan in the mountains!"
After hearing what he said, some people retreated from Prime Minister Ye's side.
Li Zong looked up at the emperor and saw that he looked calm and didn't seem anxious at all. He remembered the military tactics that Qin Yurou had mentioned to him every day. He decided to take a gamble, so he walked towards the prime minister.
Those who were usually on good terms with Li Zong were dumbfounded and winked at him, asking him to come over. Li Zong pretended not to see it, but in his heart he was praying for the emperor's blessing.
General Liu looked at Li Zong and said, "Interesting, really interesting. I never thought that coward Li Da had such a good son."
Li Zong's face turned pale when he heard this, and his hands trembled in his sleeves. Prime Minister Ye glared at him and said, "Stand still. The worst that can happen is death. What's there to be afraid of?"
Ren Qishan looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and smiled sinisterly: "Your Majesty, isn't it time for you to come down?"
The emperor stood up, a smile on his face, his aura undiminished. "I am tired of sitting in this position. I can give up this position, but I don't like others forcing me to give up this position. Ren Qishan, I want to see if you have the ability to pull me down from this position."
The Emperor turned his gaze to his silent fifth brother. "Li Wei, ten years ago, the late Emperor fell ill, my eldest brother was ill, you were demoted to a commoner, and my sixth brother became a monk. The Queen Mother and Ren Qishan were the masterminds behind all of this. I was pushed into this position because I have the ability and because I have a good mother and uncle who are good at planning. They can support you today, but they can always replace you if you disobey them. For the sake of our brotherhood, if you give up this idea, I will ensure that you have a worry-free life."
The Fifth Prince looked at the Emperor whom he had not seen for many years, and he felt very emotional. After he was demoted to a commoner, his life was very difficult. The gap between him and an ordinary citizen from a high and mighty prince was too big for him to accept, and he had been looking for an opportunity to come back.
Five years ago, Ren Qishan found him, gave him a house, money, and helped him get married. His wife also gave birth to a smart and lovely son.
For the sake of his son, he had to take a gamble. Even being a puppet emperor was better than living among the people.
"This kingdom originally belonged to me. I just want to take back everything that belongs to me."
The Queen Mother looked at her coldly. Ten years had passed like a cloud of smoke. She was no longer herself since she entered the palace. She was a pawn of the Ren family and she had to live for the interests of the Ren family.
Watching their verbal battle, she felt like a joke. One was her son, the other was her brother, they were fighting to the death, but they didn't care how much pain she was feeling.
Ren Qishan clapped his hands and said, "Come here, help the new emperor change his clothes."
General Liu drew a soft sword from his waist and pointed it at the emperor: "Come down."
Prime Minister Ye was about to rush forward to protect the emperor, but the emperor gave him a prohibiting look.
"Don't worry, my dear Liu. It won't be too late to wait until my fifth brother changes his clothes."
The emperor's indifference made the people on Prime Minister Ye's side feel at ease, but made the people on General Liu's side a little flustered. At this time, several more people stood up, including Concubine Ren's father, Ren Qishan's younger brother Ren Qicheng.
Someone came with new clothes, but it was not a dragon robe, but a prison uniform. Everyone looked at it with a complicated expression, but after seeing who was holding the new clothes, everyone immediately understood.
Because the person holding the new clothes was the missing Seventh Princess, who was wearing the clothes of a palace maid and looked like a thin eunuch.
Seeing that his daughter was not dead and had returned safely, Prime Minister Ye burst into tears and said without caring about his manners, "Youlan, you are still alive. It's so great."
