Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 149, Emperor Qing stands on the platform and goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion

When the princess heard Liu Hong's comment, she chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"That's absolutely true, but why don't you say that the Prime Minister is a loyal minister?"

Li Yunrui didn't have much feeling for Lin Ruofu.

I sacrificed my body before in order to control the Prime Minister, this is fair.

And since I accidentally killed Lin Gong, it is fair that Lin Ruofu cut ties with me.

All this is just for the emperor's brother's grand ambitions.

So what if she acts as a black glove?
"I understand! But I am alone, and I am afraid that I am unable to do what I want."

Liu Hong pretended to be hesitant before speaking.

The eldest princess shook her head and said nothing more.

Emperor Qing will secretly help Liu Hong, and Liu Hong only needs to fire the first shot against Lin Ruofu.

"You and the prince should spend more time together. It's good for young people to have common topics."

This time the prince finally understood why the eldest princess had called him over today.

Ever since Fan Xian revealed that the eldest princess actually supported the second prince, the prince's situation has become very embarrassing, like a clown.

The already shaky position of the crown prince became even more shaky.

He had to join forces with Fan Xian, expose his own character, and tell those who supported him that he was not weak.

The eldest princess's move was tantamount to hinting to the prince that Liu Hong should be a member of your camp and you have to win him over.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hong did not give the two of them any face at all. After hearing what the princess said, he hurriedly clasped his fists and left on the pretext of having something to do.

"It seems that you have been getting close to Fan Xian these days and neglecting Pei Bo, so he is starting to get angry."

The princess looked at Liu Hong's hurriedly leaving figure and chuckled.

He had the deputy garrison commander of Kyoto and the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice in his hands, plus Pei Bo, a powerful general of the frontier army.

It's normal to raise the price!
The prince smiled bitterly and did not hide his regret in front of the eldest princess.

"I made a wrong judgment. I thought that Liu Hong would have no choice but to rely on me after he offended my second brother in the Baoyue Tower incident. I didn't expect that he would rather ease the relationship with my second brother than rely on me so easily."

"So it's normal for others to have a bad temper! Besides, they didn't get any help from you, so it's not surprising that they only obey orders and not instructions."

Li Yunrui laughed and looked at Liu Hong with eyes full of admiration.

It was a good opportunity to play both sides between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

However, Liu Hong will have to bear the consequences himself.

After Liu Hong left Guangxin Palace, Eunuch Hou had been waiting outside for a long time with a frown on his face.

"Lord Liu, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time and wants to hear about how the Spring Examination went this time."

It seems that Emperor Qing is still a little worried. Liu Hong ignores the eldest princess and does what he wants!
He was unwilling to deal with Lin Ruofu, so he summoned Liu Hong again to cheer him up.

Liu Hong came to the imperial study.

Emperor Qing rarely lay on the couch. Instead, he kept using a bow and arrow to shoot at the armor.

An arrow passed between Liu Hong and Eunuch Hou, almost touching their ears.

Eunuch Hou's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly checked his body to see if there was any missing piece again.

Liu Hong's expression remained unchanged, as if he was used to it, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I, Liu Hong, pay my respects to you!"

The corner of Emperor Qing's mouth curled up slightly. As expected of an earl who had fought his way out of a pile of dead bodies, he was not frightened by Liu Hong.

Of course, if Liu Hong was so easily frightened, Emperor Qing would not be able to let Liu Hong take the lead in the matter of deposing the prime minister.

"How is the investigation into the imperial examination fraud going? If there are some ministers involved, don't worry. I support you behind the scenes."

Emperor Qing dropped the longbow in his hand and patted Liu Hong on the shoulder earnestly.

It was obvious in his eyes that he had high hopes.

Between the lines, this minister blatantly hinted at the three words "Lin Ruofu".

"Your Majesty! If this person is in a high position and has great power, if it affects him, it may cause unrest in the court."

Liu Hong also did not use Lin Ruofu's name, but he still climbed up the pole.
Emperor Qing looked at Liu Hong for a while and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Little fox! You used the mission I gave you as a tool to frame your political enemies.

But if Liu Hong can drag Lin Ruofu into the water, what does it matter if he throws a few officials in? Emperor Qing thought for a moment and spoke decisively.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me. Even if it involves a member of the royal family, I will never let him go."

"According to the order!"

Liu Hong waved his sleeves, and Emperor Qing tacitly agreed to his move of taking this opportunity to attack his political enemies.

After all, as long as Lin Ruofu steps down and Emperor Qing abolishes the prime minister system, the sacrifice of some officials is inevitable.

Liu Hong left the palace and took a deep look at the imperial study.

Emperor Qing was anxious after all! He wanted to accomplish too many things in his lifetime.

Unify the world and leave a good reputation behind. Train the prince to become the heir apparent and build the supreme imperial power.

It is also necessary to appease the remaining forces of Ye Qingmei, including Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and others, and pretend to carry out some reforms.

Newspaper offices and post stations were born as a result, allowing many officials to take advantage of the opportunity to manipulate the situation and arrange for all their relatives to eat royal meals.

"Sir, where are we going now?"

Ji Xin led the war horse and glanced at the sky. It was almost dusk.

"The Prime Minister's residence!"

Liu Hong hesitated and spoke slowly.

He secretly eliminated future troubles for Lin Ruofu and also had to cheer up the prime minister.

Ji Xin nodded and escorted Liu Hong to the Prime Minister's residence.

The eyes of many interested people were focused on the Prime Minister's Mansion. They were very curious about why Liu Hong first entered the palace and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.

Is this your Majesty's idea or the eldest princess' idea?

The visiting card was delivered to the servant in the Prime Minister's residence.

The servant was originally lazy and looked at the group of guys riding war horses with contempt.

When he saw that Liu Hong was appointed as the deputy garrison commander of Kyoto and the right vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, his expression changed.

He did not care about the dignity of a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister and hurried into the mansion to report.

Yuan Hongdao, the prime minister's confidant, with a kind face, like Maitreya Buddha, walked out of the mansion and greeted Liu Hong happily.

"Master Liu, please come in! Minister Lin has been waiting for you for a long time."

The Prime Minister's residence is comparable to Prince Jing's residence, with pavilions, towers, rockery and green lakes. The two walked in a winding way.

Yuan Hongdao suddenly spoke while leading the way.

"Master Liu, it was originally a simple matter of deposing the prime minister. Why did you make it so troublesome? Since there is already a woman who has redressed her husband's injustice, why did you kill him?"

"Whether this matter is true or false, you know it very well in your heart, Master Yuan, I hope you will behave yourself recently."

Liu Hong smiled faintly and spoke.

Yuan Hongdao is a double agent who jumps back and forth between Chen Pingping and the eldest princess.

While being good at protecting himself, he is also good at using the opponent's force to his advantage so as not to expose himself.

But Liu Hong didn't want to.

The prime minister of a country had to resign because of a false accusation.

Finally, he returned to his hometown in Jiangbei in a carriage in disgrace, without any honor at all.

This was too harsh. Even Zhu Yuanzhang did not treat his prime minister like this.

Hu Weiyong was indeed courting death by forming cliques and factions and angering others. At least Zhu Yuanzhang was doing things in an upright manner.

When Liu Hong came to the officialdom, what he hated most was the various assassinations in the novel "Joy of Life".

It looks decent and the loss is small.

In fact, it was a mad effort to crush the stable system of bureaucracy and imperial power that had existed for thousands of years in the feudal dynasty.

For example, in the novel, Fan Xian was able to assassinate the admiral of the Jiaozhou Navy and put the blame on the deputy admiral.

The people behind him are not capable of dealing with Fan Xian, who is at the peak of the ninth rank.

My grandmother is far away in Danzhou, and the Fan family and others can be assassinated as long as we are patient.

Yuan Hongdao saw Liu Hong's deep gaze, shook his head and said nothing more.
