A confusing little system for newbie bosses

Since the emperor came to power, he has deliberately reduced the power of the Xie family, and promoted and demoted his two legitimate sons openly and covertly. On the surface, they seemed to have been promoted, but in fact they were idle officials with no real power.

Although his daughter is a queen, she has been married for six years but does not even have a prince.

Xie Ting understood that these were all planned secretly by the emperor. The Zuo Xiang's palace was powerful and aroused the suspicion of the Tian family. The Queen Mother was also involved, which caused the emperor to be extremely distrustful of the Zuo Xiang.

After all, those who supported the Queen Mother's rise to power were all from the left-wing prime minister's lineage.

The reason for this plan was that the Queen Mother hated Anping and her relatives for marrying far away, and the Prime Minister was not willing to just watch the power he had worked so hard to disintegrate.

Both brothers and sisters knew that the emperor had been wary of them for a long time, and had reached the point where he would not stop fighting.

Only by giving it a try can we have a chance of survival.

This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is their opportunity, success or failure depends on this.

At dusk, the lanterns were turned on, and the imperial garden was a grand scene that never turned dark.

"Master, all the guards around the Royal Garden have been replaced by the Queen Mother's people. Only thirty people are left on the Royal Platform."

"How many of them are there?"

"Five hundred inside the palace and two thousand outside the palace."

"Two thousand and five thousand? The Queen Mother is out of her mind! More than two thousand people dare to rebel." The Forbidden Army is more than that.

"The maid next to the Queen Mother is a guest of Zuo Xiangfu. They plan to capture the emperor first."

It is not a bad idea to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.

"Master! The left prime minister is about to propose a toast. This is their signal for action."

"Your Majesty, I would like to propose a toast to you on behalf of the people. On this Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to express my gratitude to your majesty for being a wise king for all ages. He has quelled civil strife, established borders, exempted from taxes, focused on agriculture and mulberry trees. He is in a high position but has no regard for his subordinates. I sincerely wish your majesty good health and good fortune for the country. prosperity."

Yunhuang rolled his eyes at Zuo Xiang's words. He was indeed a mature old fox, capable of slapping a dragon's ass and plotting rebellion at the same time.

"It all depends on your support."

The emperor said something symbolically perfunctory, but did not drink the wine in front of him, or in other words, he did not eat anything during the entire dinner.

Fortunately, it was the same in the past. The Prime Minister raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, then threw the glass to the ground.

Coming!

The surrounding guards rushed out with swords drawn. A small group controlled the princes, ministers and their families present, but most of them rushed towards the emperor.

It's not because Prime Minister Zuo is kind-hearted, but because most of these ministers come from aristocratic families, and he doesn't want to cause trouble when he has no ability to compete.

"Hurry and escort! Hurry!" Eunuch Laifu shouted loudly.

There were only thirty guards left surrounding the emperor. Yunhuang immediately entered the protective circle because he was not far from the emperor's position.

"Queen Mother, are you okay?" Then she cleverly stood between the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

It can not only stop the female assassin, but also use the Queen Mother as a hostage if necessary.

However, the Queen Mother was obviously disgusted with her. She threw away her hand and stood aside, not even bothering to act.

That's fine, Yunhuang doesn't like her either.

"Xie Ting, do you want to rebel?"

Looking at the left prime minister Xie Ting who was standing in front of the rebels, the emperor shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to ask more questions? The result is already before you."

"Xie Ting, the Holy Father has treated you with great kindness, how dare you do such a rebellious thing!" The right minister pointed at his nose and cursed.

After all, he is a civil servant, so he cannot use harsh words when reprimanding.

"What a great kindness from heaven and earth? Right Prime Minister, are you an old fool? Where does this kindness come from?"

"Your Majesty is very kind to you. All the real power that has been taken away from me over the years has been given to you!"

"You, you... are officials..." The right minister was so angry that he wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Xie Ting.

"Alright, Lord Right Minister, wait until I sit on that dragon chair to listen to what you say slowly!"

After quarreling with the right minister, Xie Ting turned to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, you'd better just surrender!"

"The Prime Minister is so confident that he can kill me."

Xie Ting sneered and looked at the emperor with contempt.

"Your Majesty, are you waiting for the imperial army? They can't come. Since I dare to do something, I will definitely leave no hidden dangers."

Yunhuang couldn't stand it any longer. Is Xie Ting kidding when he looks like he's about to become emperor?

She pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head and pressed it against the artery on the Queen Mother's neck. "Does Mr. Zuo Xiang not care about the lives of his sister and daughter?"

After saying this, the left prime minister was obviously stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.

Yunhuang was confused. Is it so funny?

"The eldest princess is really good at joking. She has already disregarded her own life and death by openly rebelling. How can she care about the lives of others? When I succeed, I will definitely let them enjoy the temple and enjoy the incense."

What surprised Yunhuang was the attitude of the Queen Mother and the Queen. Hearing Xie Ting say this, she didn't even have any trouble, as if she didn't care about life or death.

This is a bit difficult to handle. Yunhuang cannot expose his own strength, and hostages are useless. The emperor's people don't know how long it will take to rescue him. Xie Ting obviously doesn't want to waste any more, and the situation is not optimistic.

"Since the eldest princess can't bear to take action, I will help you, take action!"

Xie Ting gave an order, and the rebel army besieging the emperor began to attack.

Those ministers Xie Ting were still afraid of the forces behind them, but they obviously had no worries when facing these relatives of the emperor, and they soon saw blood.

Although these thirty guards are disguised as shadow guards, they cannot take care of everyone. Their main purpose is to protect the emperor.

The two sides faced off for a quarter of an hour. Xie Ting was obviously not as confident as before, and sweat began to appear on his forehead. The longer the stalemate lasted, the worse it would be for him.

"Xie Ting, are you still confident that everything is safe now? If you stop here, I can avoid harming your family."

The emperor knows how to control people's hearts. Once Xie Ting starts to waver, failure is not far away, although he is destined to fail.

An emperor who has been a puppet for six years but can still fight back is not a kind person. Underestimating him is Xie Ting's biggest failure.

People! One will not give up until the last minute, especially an ambitious person.

"What are you still doing? Take action!"

Xie Ting said such words without thinking, and then the palace maid who had been standing next to the Queen Mother with her head lowered suddenly became angry and stabbed the Queen Mother with a dagger.

Yunhuang hurriedly put away the phoenix hairpin and pushed the Queen Mother hard. She managed to avoid the blade, but her arm was scratched.

The female assassin rushed towards the emperor regardless, and both the Queen Mother and Yunhuang who stood in front of her took action without hesitation, obviously under Xie Ting's orders.

Ruyan stood in front of Yunhuang and fought with the female assassin in a few moves but was defeated. Although she had some martial arts talent, she was still a few years too late. She could block a few moves and give the shadow guard a good chance to react.

The shadow guard who could protect the emperor was obviously not incompetent. The female assassin was quickly injured by the shadow guard and fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight back.
