The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Mo Qi shook his head and said, "I don't mean that! It's just that the Second Prince himself doesn't seem to be very interested in being the crown prince. Plus, if the Emperor touches the Cao family, those accomplices will definitely deliberately oppose the Second Prince in order to avoid suspicion. By then, the Second Prince will be alone and powerless. I'm afraid that even if the Emperor passes the throne to the Second Prince, it will be difficult for him to sit firmly..."

The emperor sighed worriedly and remained silent.

Mo Qi's concerns are indeed not unreasonable.

Once they really touch the Cao family, those accomplices will definitely be eager to cut ties with them. Passing the throne to Wuhen would then be harming him!

The kingdom that the Miao family had fought so hard to build might very well be defeated by him in the end...

So should we consider passing it to no one?

The emperor frowned and said nothing...

Mo Qi comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Everything will work out when the time comes. It's too early to draw conclusions now. Why don't you wait and see?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "No! We must make a quick decision now, otherwise if we delay any further, the Cao family will have an opportunity to take advantage of us!"

Mo Qi asked cautiously: "So what do you mean?"

The emperor said in a very firm tone: "We must get rid of the Cao family as soon as possible! The tail is too big to be eliminated. I can't leave this mess to the next generation. I will go back and find someone to discuss it..."

The next day.

Early in the morning, when the palace maid Du Juan had just opened the door, she saw a young eunuch hurried over and thrust a note into her hand, saying, "Aunt, this is for the queen!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Du Juan did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly turned around and came into the palace and said, "Madam, this is something a young eunuch brought to you. I want to give it to you."

Concubine Jia took the note and opened it. It said: "Come to the study room immediately!"

Concubine Jia was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Jinse, follow me to the Imperial Study Room right now!"

"Yes!"

The master and servant didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and immediately left in a hurry...

Royal study room.

The emperor, who hadn't slept all night, leaned on the couch, looking worriedly at the other ministers in the study...

The five people in front of him all had their own opinions. Some agreed to depose Concubine Cao immediately, some suggested waiting and seeing, and some even suggested turning a blind eye... The reasons all sounded reasonable, and two of them even started arguing...

The Minister of War said in a loud voice, "Although the Cao family once led troops to fight, they have already transformed themselves many years ago. If you want to get rid of them, you only need to depose Concubine Cao first, and then imprison the Second Prince. Those members of the Cao Party will immediately take the initiative to sever ties with the Cao family! Then pick a few important officials to start with, and make a ritual, and the rest will be obedient!"

The Minister of Personnel objected, "Maybe Lord Liu doesn't know? During the most glorious period of the Cao family, they recommended thirty or forty officials above the fourth rank! If these people unite to fight against the court at the same time, or if those who hold military power are desperate and attack the capital, it will be very difficult to deal with!"

The emperor listened silently, then looked at the King of Huainan and said, "Tong Kai, what do you think?"

King Huainan said, "Your Majesty, I think both of you have a point. We can do it step by step! We will start with Sun Dongfang, the biggest leader of the Cao Party. This will not only successfully strike the Cao family, but also test the waters and see what the Cao family thinks! If the father and son of the Cao family remain silent, then we can take action against them next!

First, find a reason to reduce Cao Bangwei's title and title, from Duke to Earl, and then promote their rival Wu Ziming to Marquis, so that they will think that it is the Wu family behind the scenes, so that Your Majesty can wait and see what happens. No matter who loses in the fight between the two tigers, the one who benefits in the end is the emperor! And if they dare to resist, you can just suppress them with good reason!"

Everyone was shocked after hearing this! They never expected that the usually suave King Huainan could be so cruel!

Even the emperor was shocked, and secretly said in his heart: "Old Five's method is feasible! But it is a bit too cruel... I really didn't expect that he usually seems to be on good terms with the Cao family, but he is so ruthless when he takes action! However, this is the decision that an emperor should make. Alas, if Wuhen had half the talent and scheming of his uncle, it would be great!

However, this also shows from the side that if I really hand over the throne to Wuhen, I am afraid he will not be able to control these old ministers at that time..."

At this time, Qin Ruihai suddenly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jia and the Third Prince are here to pay their respects to you!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at the emperor...

The emperor said, "I am in a meeting now. Please ask them to go back first!"

Qin Ruihai bowed and said, "Yes!"

As he was about to turn around and walk out, the King of Huainan suddenly said, "Your Majesty has been in a meeting all night, you must be tired now! Why don't you take a break, have some breakfast, and talk tomorrow?"

Several other ministers also echoed: "That's right, the emperor's health is the most important!"

The emperor had no choice but to say, "Let's stop here today and discuss it tomorrow!"

Several ministers took their leave.

When the Prince of Huainan came out, he met Concubine Jia and her son at the door. Just as he was about to walk over, he heard a voice behind him calling out, "Your Majesty, please stay!"

Prince Huainan turned around, looked at Concubine Jia calmly and said, "What's the matter, Madam?"

Concubine Jia walked over slowly, bowed deeply to him, then raised her head and said gently: "The prince has not been at home recently, there are some things I want to explain to the prince..."

King Huainan said coldly: "No need!"

After hearing this, Concubine Jia was stunned and said with an embarrassed look: "Your Highness, are you not going to forgive me? Actually, I have my own reasons..."

"Hardship?" King Huainan sneered, "Are you joking, Madam? What kind of hardship can make you suddenly not listen to my words! Do you attack Qing He again and again, or do you plan to get rid of her and continue your relationship with Jiang Yaonian?"

"No! That's not the case! Your Majesty, please listen to me..." Concubine Jia explained anxiously: "This is related to the eldest princess. She said that if I can..."

Not far away, Qin Ruihai walked out of the study and shouted to Concubine Jia: "Your Majesty, His Majesty wants you to come in!"

Concubine Jia had to stop talking immediately, hurriedly bowed to King Huainan, then turned and left.

The King of Huainan also left with a gloomy face...

This ambitious girl is becoming increasingly difficult to control!

She actually dared to play smart with him, really thinking that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her!

Concubine Jia came to the door and explained to Qin Ruihai with a smile: "I haven't seen the prince for a long time. I just chatted with him for a while..."

Qin Ruihai also smiled and nodded respectfully, "Your Majesty, please go in! His Majesty is waiting inside!"
