In the cell, Zhao Xiaole took off his mask and looked at Lu Qingbai in front of him.
"Lu Qingbai, you should be aware of your situation. Even if I don't kill you, sooner or later you will be treated as an abandoned child by the queen and others."
"Think about what you should say and what you shouldn't say. This is the only way to save your life."
"You don't want me to put you to death, do you?"
Lu Qingbai smiled bitterly. Even though he had known that Zhao Xiaole was the owner of the West Factory for a long time, now that he actually saw him, he was still shocked.
"My senior brother Ren Xiaoyao's crimes are all in the hands of the Marquis. What can I do if I don't admit it?"
"Now what the Marquis wants is nothing more than phase. I will write a confession right now, and the position of the Right Prime Minister will be stable. However, I want to warn the Marquis that the Third Prince and the Empress still control all officials.
."
"It's not enough for you to just bring me down."
Zhao Xiaole played with the mask in his hand and said calmly: "I know this matter well. You should write the confession first."
Paper, pen and inkstone were brought from the tray to Lu Qingbai. Lu Qingbai was silent for a while, then finally sighed, picked up the pen, and wrote down all his crimes.
Then, another pledge was drawn.
After submitting it, Zhao Xiaole looked at it and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Then he looked at Lu Qingbai and said, "Very good. Get ready to go to court later!"
…
I don’t know where Lu Qingbai went?
I don’t know where Ren Xiaoyao went?
After learning about this incident, the third prince didn't pay much attention at first.
In the past two days, he has been playing a little crazy.
My head still hurts because I have a bad hangover.
He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I'm probably going to look for flowers in some nook and cranny. Don't worry about this kind of thing."
The third prince is not worried, these two people are loyal.
He held their lives in his hand, and they couldn't help but refuse to surrender.
"However, the Jinyiwei have always only listened to their orders. Now the East Factory can't find anyone and it's already in chaos."
The eunuch reported.
Jin Yiwei has been controlled by this senior brother for too long.
Now, without them, there is no one left to issue orders.
The third prince frowned at first, then thought of something, and immediately said: "You, tell Wang Yuan immediately, let him take over the Jin Yiwei, and take advantage of the two people's absence to get the real power of the Jin Yiwei back to me!"
"yes!"
After hearing this, the eunuch hesitated for a moment and hurriedly ran to inform Wang Yuan.
The third prince thought for a while and was secretly proud of his plan.
I was so smart that I came up with this trick. Even though I was hungover for two days, once I switched to think tank mode, my senses became even sharper.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Lu Qingbai and Lu Qingbai can be used, they must not be reused.
On the one hand, it was because of trust, and on the other hand, it was because the two of them were so outstanding that the third prince felt jealous.
In fact, the third prince vaguely knew that he could not control these two people at all.
The best way is to deprive them of their real power and only use their brains, but not let them hold weapons.
On the contrary, it was a money-hungry and lustful person like Wang Yuan who could make the third prince feel trustful.
This feeling was very strange, and he didn't know the reason. He just felt that it would be very comfortable to be with this kind of person.
In fact, birds of a feather flock together, but the third prince didn't want to think about it.
…
Five o'clock in the morning.
The prince held another court meeting.
It's not that she wants to go to court, it's that she can't do it if she doesn't.
The March period for the prime minister's election has arrived.
Although she wanted to delay it for another two days, the officials would not allow this to happen.
Why?
The March period is here, do you still need to hand over the next work to the prime minister? Who should you hand over to?
Is it left phase or right phase?
Or should we follow the previous rules and continue to use two ministers to manage the cabinet?
If this is the case, then the prince should inform everyone in advance.
But at this time, the problem arises.
Under the pressure of hundreds of officials, they will force the prince to choose one person as prime minister, and this person is Lu Qingbai.
The reason why all the officials were in high spirits today was to go to the court and have a good quarrel with the prince.
Don't say that you are not Emperor Jingyang, so what if you are Emperor Jingyang? Can you still convince everyone in the court on your own?
After knowing that the third prince and the queen were behind them, everyone was still afraid, especially at the last court meeting, the prince was so choked that everyone couldn't speak. Everyone imagined that scene.
Because officials rarely have the opportunity to force those in power to make concessions.
This is a great victory.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the officials of the court arrived at the main hall one after another. After arriving here, although the prince had not arrived yet.
The officials did not dare to speak casually, but kept discussing in low voices.
Zhao Xiaole and Qin Sining stood at the front. They did not speak, but they could feel a lot of mocking eyes.
After his death, the ministers of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War were very angry.
Both of them looked extremely ugly and ignored the comments.
Even if you don't listen, you know what they are saying.
It's nothing more than some Lu Qingbai as Prime Minister. If these two people still don't understand current affairs, they will have no choice but to be made things difficult for them every day.
Now, the two of them know the situation they are facing.
Everyone in the cabinet and the entire court will be their enemies. Thinking about it, this thing is scary.
Before coming, both of them asked Zhao Xiaole, how is the election going? Has Mr. Hou thought of any solution?
Zhao Xiaole didn't reveal too much, he just said that it had basically been solved and let them wait and see.
The two of them wanted to ask more questions, but Qin Sining shook his head and said, "Two adults, don't ask anymore. When it's time to explain, Xiaole will naturally explain."
"All right!"
The two had no choice but to nod in agreement.
At the same time, Qin Sining also asked Princess Loulan to see the prince and told her that things were going very smoothly and that she didn't need to worry.
But she didn't say what happened specifically.
It's not that she doesn't talk about it, it's that she doesn't know it either.
If you don’t know clearly, you can’t talk nonsense. You can only pretend to be profound and tell others. When that time comes, you will naturally know.
Lu Qingbai walked into the main hall, still wearing the official uniform of the left prime minister, standing at the forefront of the civil servants, saying nothing, silently waiting for the court meeting to begin.
Some officials wanted to say hello to him, but Lu Qingbai ignored them.
He didn't want to pay attention to it, and there was no need to pay attention to it.
If he is about to be imprisoned, why should he care what they do?
In addition to the bitterness in Lu Qingbai's heart, he also secretly felt a sense of relief, that is, he could finally get rid of the fate of the chess pieces.
From some aspects, even entering the West Factory may not be a bad thing.
While he was thinking, the eunuch shouted loudly, and the prince slowly walked up to the main hall.
