In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

"it is good."

As the two of them returned home in the moonlight, Xu Qingyin thought about it and felt that their current situation was both good and bad.

Now they have caught Lu Wei, the Crown Prince has also been tainted, and the Queen Mother was killed by the Imperial Concubine herself. Regardless of whether the Emperor has made a decision or not, in the minds of the ministers, the Queen Mother was indeed killed by the Imperial Concubine.

Although some upright old ministers in the court had long been dissatisfied with the empress dowager's behavior, in their hearts, the empress dowager was still the empress dowager after all, and those filial piety and etiquette must never be abandoned. Being able to murder the empress dowager was an unprecedented and unparalleled act of disrespect!

As for the people under the empress dowager, there is no need to say much. Although the imperial concubine is from the Western Regions with them, the imperial concubine and the empress dowager had many arguments about these ministers before, so they are determined to follow the empress dowager.

Now that they knew that the imperial concubine had murdered the empress dowager, they were terrified. After all, this was a poisonous insect. If the empress dowager was controlled by the poisonous insect, what if Lu Qian was controlled now?

Although they are very greedy and can gain many benefits by following the Queen Mother, so as to keep their families safe, if they really follow the Imperial Concubine from the Western Regions, then the entire country will be destroyed, and where can they survive?

So after the Empress Dowager was overthrown by the Imperial Concubine in such a shameful way, they had no intention of following the Imperial Concubine.

It has to be said that this time it was indeed a heavy blow to the imperial concubine's camp.

But Xu Qingyin couldn't be happy.

Because Lu Qian had always been under the control of the Empress Dowager, and now that the Empress Dowager has fallen, those ministers naturally have no one else to obey, so they have to listen to Lu Qian.

But Lu Qian was now controlled by the imperial concubine's poisonous insect, biting randomly like a mad dog. If they really angered Lu Qian, what would they do?

If the Imperial Concubine killed Lu Qian and pushed Lu Zhou to the throne, what would Yun Jin do? After all, the Gu worm could even make Lu Qian die for the Imperial Concubine.

Xu Qingyin now seems to have obtained armor and weapons through his own efforts, but now he is walking on a dangerous bridge.

She has the courage and confidence to face future enemies, but now she is walking on thin ice, fearing that if she is not careful she will fall into an irretrievable situation.

As for Xu Qingyin, his grandfather and uncle were worried that his mother had gone back after just greeting him, so they ran around looking for people, determined to make sure his mother had a better life in prison.

After my grandfather and uncle passed away, things became much more peaceful here.

Xu Qingyin looked at the flickering light in front of her, reached out to touch it, and felt the scorching heat, and her heart couldn't help but tremble again and again.

What is waiting for you ahead?

Can I really shoulder the responsibility of the entire Yunjin?

However, Xu Qingyin knew that no matter what happened, she would do her best.

But it was quite lively over there at Lu Yan's place.

Li Changzhong, the left prime minister and palace architect, and Zhou Xuliang, the minister of war, brought some people to visit Yuemanlou at night. They had a tacit understanding and did not show their appearance obviously.

Logically speaking, forming a clique for personal gain is a serious crime in the court. Even if Lu Qian didn't care about it before, the empress dowager would always be watching over it.

But now that the Queen Mother has fallen, the Imperial Concubine's plan was realized ahead of schedule due to Xu Luohan's catalysis. She cannot convince the people, and now everything is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents have long been surging.

So it is not surprising that they come here now. Even if someone wants to report it, there are not many people in the court who can take care of this matter.

When they first entered Yueman Tower, they saw from afar His Royal Highness Prince Jing quietly looking at the table of food in front of him behind the curtain.

When they lifted the curtain, they were about to ask, "How is His Royal Highness Prince Jing?" but were stopped by Lu Yan:

"There's no His Royal Highness Prince Jing here. Just call me Master Xu."

The people in front of me understood.

"Greetings, Mr. Xu. I'm visiting you late this evening. I wonder if I'm disturbing you."

Li Changzhong had a faint smile on his face when he said this. Although he had been the Queen Mother's man a long time ago, now because of his sensitivity to the political turmoil in the court, he suddenly turned to Lu Yan.

"Of course I didn't bother you. Even if you didn't come to visit, I would have invited you personally. I'm so happy that you're here today."

When all the people were seated, Minister of War Zhou Xuliang spoke:

"I thought Master Xu would have us come here with a lot of fanfare. After all, things like this aren't strictly controlled these days. If we come here with a lot of fanfare, it will make the people on the Imperial Concubine's side think that we have switched sides to you. Wouldn't that be an added layer of security?"

What he said was indeed true. If he could make the Crown Prince believe that these old ministers had followed him, then they would be tied to the same rope. If Prince Jing fell from power, they would have no way of returning to the Crown Prince.

Zhou Xuliang said this because of himself, but he has always been an old minister in the court and most of the time he is neutral, so if Prince Jing falls, the impact on him will definitely not be as great as others, so he can say such sarcastic words.

No matter how you look at it this way, Lu Yan is the one who is getting the upper hand, but why doesn't he do that?

Although the people around him were somewhat disgusted with Zhou Xuliang for saying such things, he held a high position in the court after all, and others did not dare to say anything.

Moreover, the question he asked also confused others, and they were waiting for Lu Yan's answer.

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't want to waste time on these things, he answered very quickly. He looked indifferent on the surface, but the words he said made everyone feel very warm in their hearts.

"Why do this? As long as your heart desires, you will come back sooner or later. If I can't satisfy your heart's desire, I am not qualified, so why should I tie you to my side?"

What he said was true, and it also proved that he intended to use his strength to retain them.

Although this is true, most people will still threaten these old ministers for the sake of insurance, in order to feel at ease and have a better chance of winning.

Even though His Royal Highness Prince Jing said that they had to use strength, they knew in their hearts that he was leaving them a way out.

"it is good."

Finally getting to the point, those who had already been worried about the Gu worms in the court hurriedly asked:

"Your Highness, Prince Jing, are those poisonous insects in the court real? If they are, then our Yunjin will be destroyed."

At this time, the door was already closed. Lu Yan no longer addressed him, but simply said:

"Now, nine out of ten times it is."
