Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 142 Yang Xiu: I think this official should be executed and his entire clan should be exterminated!

As soon as Yang Xiu said this, the court fell into silence.

Although some people had guessed that Yang Xiu was planning to take action against the Queen Mother today, no one expected that Yang Xiu would bring it up so directly.

Behind the curtain.

The Queen Mother began to exert force on the hand that was pressed on the armrest.

Veins popped out on the back of his hand.

She didn't expect that Yang Xiu would bring up this matter so soon, although she had guessed that this day would come.

But I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

A group of officials set their sights on several veteran officials.

These old ministers are all from the Queen Mother's lineage.

Yang Xiu was not in a hurry and was waiting for these old ministers to jump out.

It’s not that easy to overthrow the Queen Mother.

After all, the Queen Mother has been rooted in the court for a long time.

Especially now in the Northern Qi court, Yang Xiu has basically become the one who has the final say.

Naturally, these old ministers also want to seek breakthroughs.

Yang Xiu really squeezed out their living space.

They really have no other choice but to retire and return home.

It can be said that the Queen Mother and they share a common interest.

So they would not watch Yang Xiu drive the Queen Mother out of the court.
If that’s the case, how will these old ministers survive?
Soon, an old minister walked out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty! I think this is inappropriate! The Queen Mother is not that old now! Your Majesty is still young after all! Although you have the potential to be a wise ruler, there are some things that can only be solved by the Queen Mother! Therefore, I think it is better to let the Queen Mother assist in the administration first!"

Several other veteran officials also jumped out.

"I, your honor, appeal for your reconsideration!"

Zhan Doudou frowned.

In fact, she had long since stopped wanting to have someone sitting behind her every day.

It's really uncomfortable.

Especially what these old ministers said made Zhan Doudou even more unhappy.

What does it mean that she has the potential to be a wise ruler?

In other words, doesn't that mean she is not a wise ruler yet?
Only the Queen Mother could solve the problem more perfectly, doesn't that mean she wasn't thoughtful enough in handling the matter?
Zhan Doudou himself is ambitious, and how could an ambitious emperor tolerate such words?

Zhan Doudou glanced at Yang Xiu calmly.

Yang Xiu understood immediately.

Even if Zhan Doudou hadn't existed, he wouldn't have let such an old minister off easily.

His purpose today was very clear, which was to target Taihou.

Yang Xiu said coldly, "Oh? According to what Lord Lu said, could it be that His Majesty is not good at doing things? Are you denying His Majesty? His Majesty is the monarch, and you are the minister! What qualifications do you have to say that His Majesty is not good? A monarch should focus on governing his subjects! If His Majesty can take care of everything, why would he need ministers like you and me? What? Lord Lu is planning to just take the salary and not work? Let His Majesty and the Queen Mother do the work? If Lord Lu holds this idea, he might as well return home as soon as possible! It is because of ministers like you that the Queen Mother has never been able to have free time! You are a person who only cares about your position and does nothing, you are not worthy of being an official!"

Lord Lu's face suddenly turned ugly.

"You, you, you Yang Xiu, you are slandering me!"

Yang Xiu ignored him.

He turned around and saluted Zhan Doudou.

"Your Majesty! I want to impeach this old man. He is not doing his job. This is the first one! He is a minister who disregards the Queen Mother's health! He finds those twisted ideas and his heart should be killed! This is the second one! He has no respect for the superior and calls me by my name. This is the third one! For all three crimes, I ask Your Majesty to execute this official! And exterminate his three clans! To serve as a warning to others!"

All the civil and military officials were stunned.

He just said two sentences.

Yang Xiu came up and wanted to kill him directly, and even exterminate his entire clan.

This is simply too outrageous.

Yang Xiu came here to kill people.

There was no intention of giving face to anyone.

Lord Lu was also shocked.

No, he just launched a normal attack!
Did you just go big?

Is he going to kill me? Lord Lu was terrified.

Kneel down quickly.

"Your Majesty! I, your humble servant, never meant that! I just said something out of turn! I never meant that! Your Majesty, please understand!"

As he said this, he kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Yang Xiu snorted coldly.

Zhan Doudou waved his hands: "Forget it! Lord Lu! Get up! Of course I know you didn't mean it! King Qi, Lord Lu is old after all! It's understandable that he speaks without thinking! How about letting him go this time?"

Yang Xiu said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I will certainly agree. However, I think that since Lord Lu can speak nonsense in the court, he must be really old! Why don't Your Majesty show some grace and let Lord Lu retire to his hometown to enjoy his remaining years! This will also prevent Lord Lu from doing something like this again next time! It will hurt others and himself! We can't always ask Your Majesty for grace!"

Zhan Doudou nodded: "King Qi does have a point! It was I who neglected it! I only thought about Lord Lu's hard work and contributions. I and Da Qi can't do without Lord Lu, but I forgot to consider Lord Lu's age. This is my fault! Lord Lu, you are so unreal! I allow you to retire and return to your hometown to spend your old age in seclusion! Don't worry, after you return home, Da Qi will not forget you and will still pay you according to your current official position! Da Qi will not forget all those who have made contributions to Da Qi!"

No one present reacted yet.

Yang Xiu and Zhan Doudou worked together to send the man named Lu back home.

Everyone was confused.

They didn't know what happened.

Why did he just retire and return home?
Lord Lu didn't react either.

After a while.

Lord Lu looked at Zhan Doudou and then at Yang Xiu who was watching him eagerly.

A wry smile appeared on his face.

He was wrong.

He overestimated the Queen Mother, and also overestimated himself

Now in the court, Yang Xiu has long had the final say.

In fact, Yang Xiu's control over the court was deeper and stronger than he imagined.

Generally, such powerful ministers are placed in the hands of other emperors.

We have to be on guard against all of this. No matter how capable the emperor is, he will find a balance.

For example, find someone to restrain you.

However, when it comes to Zhan Doudou, she doesn't need any of this at all.

If Yang Xiu was willing, Zhan Doudou could even give the throne directly to Yang Xiu.

This is Zhan Doudou’s trust in Yang Xiu.

Therefore, Yang Xiu's family was the only one in power.

There is simply nothing that can check and balance Yang Xiu.

The so-called imperial balance.

It doesn't exist at all for Yang Xiu.

In other words, Yang Xiu had the final say in the court.

Zhan Doudou and Yang Xiu wear the same pants.

Whatever Yang Xiu says is what it is.

How can we fight when we have different starting points?

These old ministers thought they came to the Empress Dowager's lineage to check and balance Yang Xiu.

Little did they know that their existence was only because Yang Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to them before.

As long as Yang Xiu made a move, they would not be able to fight back at all.

Just like now.

Yang Xiu only made a slight move.

They had no chance to fight back at all.

This is the gap.

This is the difference.

Fight, what shall we fight with?
It's all a joke!
