"My lord, pay homage to your majesty!" Chang Hong was dressed in bright light armor. After the ups and downs, his face in his thirties showed perseverance and sophistication.
"Give me a seat for Master Chang." Qin Yun waved his hand.
Chang Hong looked frightened and only dared to sit down after saluting repeatedly.
"How did you go about the things I assigned you?" Qin Yun said straight to the point.
Chang Hong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have already finished it."
"He Xiu, deputy commander of the right camp, asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
Qin Yun grinned. It felt really good. The enemy camp had its own people.
Not long ago, the Shadow Guards reported a piece of information, saying that there was a serious disagreement between General Han Qinhu of the right camp and He Xiu, the deputy commander-in-chief. It seemed that it was due to military matters and also because of a fight for a brothel girl.
Han Qinhu was Wang Wei's confidant and could not instigate rebellion, so Qin Yun simply asked Chang Hong to instigate He Xiu.
"Your Majesty, He Xiu said that he can mobilize only 3,000 soldiers. The other junior generals are loyal to Han Qinhu. He dare not act rashly."
Qin Yun chuckled and said, "That's enough, that's enough. Three thousand people are enough to take us by surprise."
"Besides, we may not necessarily use soldiers. It depends on what Wang Wei and the others want to do while I'm sick."
Chang Hong nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I have replaced all nine gates of the palace with reliable subordinates. Including all the forbidden troops, there are still 12,000 people."
"As long as the treacherous minister dares to plot rebellion, I will fight to the death!"
"As long as we delay the time, the Qinwang's masters from all over the country will surely rise suddenly!"
Qin Yun waved his hand and said: "Chang Hong, Chang Hong, you don't understand this Wang Wei very well."
Chang Hong showed hesitation, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a clear explanation."
"It's impossible for this old fox to take risks. Having power over the government and the opposition is not the same thing as treason. I don't think he will use troops."
Chang Hong asked again: "Then what does he want?"
Qin Yun was about to speak when Eunuch Xi's anxious voice sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"Outside the palace, the ministers are clamoring to see you. They also say that there are many important things for you to decide. If they don't see you, they won't leave."
"Your Majesty Wang also... also said that he suspected that someone in the palace had hijacked His Majesty and prevented the monarch and his ministers from seeing each other."
Qin Yun sneered and looked at Chang Hong: "You heard it, Wang Wei started to take action."
"Go out immediately and tell me that you are not feeling well and will not be seen!"
Although Chang Hong didn't understand, he immediately went out and followed the instructions.
After a while, Chang Hong led a group of forbidden troops to the palace gate.
In front of them, a group of ministers were stopped by the Imperial Guards, and they were already making a big fuss.
When they saw Chang Hong coming, they shouted indignantly.
"Mr. Chang, what do you mean? You have sealed the nine gates, deployed so many troops, and haven't allowed us to see His Majesty. Do you want to rebel?!"
A third-rank minister scolded him, which directly labeled him as a rebel.
"presumptuous!"
Chang Hong looked ugly and replied: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to put the palace under martial law to prevent anyone from misbehaving while His Majesty is ill."
"Really? Then why don't you let me go in to meet His Majesty? Could it be that Master Chang thinks that our ministers are plotting rebellion?"
Chang Hong's expression remained as usual: "I am not an official, but I am under the emperor's orders. Please understand, sir."
The crowd yelled and cursed again, and slapped their hats on each other angrily.
After a while, everyone separated, and Lin Changshu, dressed in a purple robe, walked to the front.
He is the prime minister, the apparent head of a hundred officials, and has great say.
"Mr. Chang." He slightly arched his hands, looking very calm.
Chang Hong returned the favor.
"His Majesty has been ill for many days and has not attended the morning court for several days in a row. Even the ministers and I have not even seen His Majesty in person. How can we rest assured?"
"Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that Your Majesty is seriously ill and may not be able to govern the country. From officials to the people, everyone is worried. If this continues, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Chang Hong's expression did not change, but he did not speak.
Lin Changshu continued: "The Prime Minister must meet with His Majesty today. If Mr. Chang insists on having his own way, then the Prime Minister will have no choice but to open a cabinet meeting and remove you from your post!"
As he spoke, his eyes showed a cold look, with a strong threat.
According to the law, if an accident occurs to the emperor, the cabinet meeting can indeed decide many appointments and dismissals.
Chang Hong's whole body trembled. Hearing this tone, he was trying to force his way into the palace in disguise!
Immediately afterwards, all the ministers began to speak out in unison, with a very loud voice.
"The Prime Minister is right!"
"We want to know about your majesty's safety! To prevent traitors and traitors from causing trouble!"
"If you don't see your Majesty, we will jointly report to the cabinet and depose you Chang Hong!"
“…”
Normally, Chang Hong would have retreated and asked Qin Yun for instructions.
But today, he could not retreat no matter what. Qin Yun gave him a death order and would not let anyone into the palace no matter what.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more panicked and the ministers were in high spirits, Chang Hong had no choice but to take drastic measures.
He drew out his long knife with one hand.
Immediately afterwards, all the forbidden troops drew their swords at the same time, and the roar of the long swords sounded extremely crisp and chilling!
Chang Hong roared angrily: "If you dare to advance again, according to His Majesty's decree, you will be killed without mercy!"
His eyes revealed a murderous look, extremely powerful!
The ministers were so frightened that they backed away and almost fell down.
Lin Changshu's expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed, and he looked sharply at Chang Hong: "Chang Hong, what do you want to do?!"
Chang Hong's expression remained unchanged, like an ice cube, and he said in a low voice: "This official is doing things according to orders. I hope the Prime Minister will understand and step down!"
"Otherwise, I'll be rude to you!"
"You!" Lin Changshu was so angry that his face turned livid, but he soon endured it again, with a flash of green light in his eyes!
With such high-intensity martial law in the palace, I'm afraid the emperor is really dying!
"snort!"
"Chang Hong, just wait for me!" He walked away in a hurry.
Seeing Chang Hong's tough attitude, Lin Changshu also left, and the ministers quickly dispersed like a mob.
Seeing this, Chang Hong ordered a strict defense, and then he immediately went to the imperial study to report the news.
Who would have thought that there was a fierce argument in front of the palace just now.
Everyone thought that Qin Yun was dying, but that was not the case. He took Yan'er, a charming little palace maid, and started exercising behind the screen in the imperial study room.
There was so much movement that Yan'er scratched the screen.
After Chang Hong arrived, he was stopped by Eunuch Xi, and it took him a long time to let him in.
"Your Majesty, Master Lin and others have retreated."
Qin Yun's face turned red and he drank a big sip of tea to quench his thirst. The difficult moves with Yan'er just now made his legs a little numb.
"Oh? Did you withdraw?"
"Where's Wang Wei?"
Chang Hong frowned and shook his head: "I didn't see him when I went there. It was Prime Minister Lin Changshu who was taking the lead in making trouble. He also accused me of treason and imprisoned your majesty."
"Old fox!" Qin Yun cursed, saying that he pushed such a puppet prime minister out instead of coming out.
"Okay, I understand, please step back."
Chang Hong stopped talking, frowned and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, look at this formation, someone... wants to force the palace!"
Qin Yun smiled mysteriously: "I'm still afraid that he won't come to force me to marry him!"
Chang Hong was shocked and immediately understood that His Majesty was fishing on purpose!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" He bowed and bowed, then slowly withdrew.
After he left, Qin Yun lay on the dragon chair and shouted: "Yan'er, come out and touch me."
Yan'er, neatly dressed and with the blush still on her face, walked out. Her skin was dripping with water and she looked so beautiful.
She was trembling slightly as she walked, slowly climbed onto the dragon chair, and gently massaged Qin Yun's head.
"Your Majesty, are you comfortable?"
Qin Yun smiled slyly: "Yan'er, are you comfortable?"
Yan'er blushed and said shyly: "Your Majesty Long Wei just now, Yan'er... I like it very much."
