"Well, where is the thief? Take me to see him!" He Chengyun stood up.
After a while, the side hall of the palace appeared.
The disheveled Liu Cheng's face changed when he saw several people walking in from outside.
"Congratulations?"
"Prime Minister, it's been a long time!" He Chengyun laughed.
Liu Cheng had a cold face and did not answer.
"Prime Minister Liu, you have been shrewd all your life, how could you do something rebellious?" He Chengyun had a playful smile on his face, "I think there may be a misunderstanding about this matter, and I will definitely find out for you!"
Hearing the sarcasm in this tone, Liu Cheng smiled coldly.
Wei Qing said coldly from the side: "Grandpa, the fact that this guy is a rebel is basically confirmed, there is no need to investigate further. Tonight, I will hand over the position of prime minister to you."
"Hahahahaha." Liu Cheng suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"Little emperor, do you really think he came back to help you? We people have been fighting for our whole lives, and we are not good, but you can only be played in the palm of our hands!"
"You are so presumptuous!" Wei Qing waved his hand, "Twenty canes!"
The imperial guards rushed in and dragged Liu Cheng out. After a while, screams started to sound.
"Wei Qing! Now that you have someone to rely on, you are a lot more arrogant than before, but you are still a puppet that can be played with, hahahahahaha!" Liu Cheng screamed and cursed.
He Chengyun took Wei Qing away from the side hall and whispered: "Qing'er, don't believe what that traitor says."
"Don't worry, grandpa, I won't be deceived by him!" Wei Qing nodded.
If she can't even trust her own relatives, then who can she trust? This time He Chengyun comes back is an opportunity for her!
Perhaps, she would never have to look at the faces of Xu Kailin, Cao Shan and Shen Yunfan again!
Therefore, that night she issued an imperial edict, naming Liu Cheng as a traitor, and officially gave the position of prime minister to He Chengyun.
Duke Dingguo, who had been driven out of the country during political strife, was given the title of prime minister as soon as he returned.
Several eunuchs came out of the palace and reported the matter to the civil and military officials.
After this matter was reported to the Xu family, Xu Yan's expression changed and he said, "Father, Liu Cheng finally fell, so why is there a new prime minister? My son thought that he could not be allowed to take office!"
Xu Kailin glanced at Xu Yan and sneered: "Yan'er, is this your opinion?"
Xu Yan said awkwardly: "Didn't you say last time that you will never let the second Liu Cheng ride on your head? I feel that Duke Ding has just come back and his foundation is not stable, so it is easy to deal with him."
"Yan'er, what you said is right. Duke Dingguo has been away for many years, and his foundation is indeed unstable." Xu Kailin muttered, "But don't forget, Duke Ding came back this time with an army of 10,000 troops!"
"These 10,000 troops are the greatest threat! You and I have no military power. Once someone finds an excuse, we can only be slaughtered by others. Therefore, we need to be extremely careful in this matter!"
Xu Yan's eyes flickered, and after a while he handed over his hands and said, "I was negligent."
"In this case, you can enter the palace tonight and send gifts to express your congratulations." Xu Kailin instructed again.
"Yes." Xu Yan agreed and went to prepare gifts.
On the other side, Cao Shan looked extremely gloomy after receiving the news.
"Ding Guogong's army is currently outside the city, stationed next to the Royal Forest Army. Letting such a person lead troops to the capital and promote him as prime minister is tantamount to having a knife put to his own neck. Your Majesty is really stupid.
Can!"
Cao Zhi, the son of the Cao family, asked: "Father, should we ask the imperial guards to take some precautions?"
"Of course we have to be on guard, but tonight you bring the congratulatory gifts and go to the palace to see Duke Ding first."
"As you command!"
Xu Kailin and Cao Shan unexpectedly coincided with each other and wanted to show their goodwill to He Chengyun first!
After all, in officialdom, the fewer enemies, the better.
At the medical clinic in Dongcheng, Eunuch Zhao personally came to inform Shen Yunfan: "Shen Shizi, His Majesty ordered,
With the congratulations of the Duke of Ding, Chengyun is appointed as the prime minister of the dynasty. From tomorrow on, you will no longer have to enter the palace."
It had only been six days since Shen Yunfan got this position. Unexpectedly, after the quarrel yesterday, he would lose his power in the blink of an eye.
Upon hearing the news, he stood up and walked out.
"Where is Prince Shen going?"
"Enter the palace to meet the saint."
"Your Majesty asked you not to enter the palace again!"
"I didn't accept the order, so I can naturally enter the palace."
"Sir Shen, this is an imperial edict, you have to accept it!" Eunuch Zhao scratched his head anxiously, but Shen Yunfan ignored him at all and went straight to the palace.
On the streets of Beijing, Shen Yunfan walked very fast.
At the same time, under the night, many dark shadows followed silently on the eaves.
Liu Meiniang, dressed in black, whispered: "After entering the palace, as long as we see the master's code, we will take action."
The killers in Hongchen Pavilion all nodded with solemn eyes. This was their first time to do such a big thing as rebellion.
Tonight, the Southern Wei Dynasty is likely to change!
Shen Yunfan made it all the way to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, but was stopped here by the Imperial Guards.
"Shizi Shen, His Majesty has decreed that you are not allowed to enter the palace."
"I'm just going into the palace to see His Majesty, please get out of the way."
"No!" The Praetorian Guards shook their heads.
It happened that at this time, Xu Yan and Cao Zhi also came. When they saw Shen Yunfan, they didn't say anything and walked towards the palace.
But halfway through, Xu Yan suddenly stopped when he heard the imperial guards blocking Shen Yunfan, turned back with a proud face, and asked with gloating:
"Hey, isn't Brother Shen a celebrity around the emperor? What's going on? Why can't you suddenly enter the palace?"
Shen Yunfan glanced at Xu Yan and said casually: "Eunuch Zhao, it seems that not every eunuch is like you - obey the rules and don't talk nonsense."
Eunuch Zhao naturally heard that this was a mockery of Xu Yan and did not dare to answer the question for a while.
Xu Yan's face turned green, and he simply cursed: "Shen Yunfan, you have repeatedly called me a eunuch, you are really bullying me! Your adoptive father is dead now, and you are not at home waiting for death, how can you still Dare you come to invade the palace?"
Now that He Chengyun has come to power, the Prime Minister has been completely labeled as a rebel, so Xu Yan no longer has to worry about anything!
Cao Zhi scratched his head beside him and advised: "Brother Shen, I know your family has had some problems recently, but I advise you not to act recklessly, otherwise you will get into trouble."
Shen Yunfan raised his brows, thinking that Cao Zhi had a good character and was not as scornful as Xu Yan.
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao advised him: "Yes, Prince Shen, let's go back first. Don't be angry!"
"No, I want to see His Majesty today!" Shen Yunfan said firmly.
"Your Majesty, if you can step through this door today, I will kneel down and kowtow to you." Xu Yan crossed his arms and leaned against the gatehouse, pretending to be watching a show.
