On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"tell me the story?"

The smile on Lu Mingfeng's face did not fade away, but became even brighter.

"I don't care whether I'm the queen or not. I only care about my official position." Shen Wantang turned around and slowly walked towards the stone table in the yard.

Then he sat down, looked at Lu Mingfeng, raised his eyebrows and said: "My dynasty does not allow women to serve as officials. I have a passion for serving the country, but I have nowhere to display it."

Lu Mingfeng raised his eyebrows, followed with his crutches, sat down, took out a cup and poured a cup of hot tea.

"Of course. When the time comes, I will give you whatever position you want."

Anyone can do such things as talking nonsense without any evidence.

Shen Wantang naturally didn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to hold the cup that Lu Mingfeng handed over: "Prime Minister, you have made a promise now, but if I help you and you go back on your word, who can I go to for justice?"

Lu Mingfeng paused, and the smile on his face froze: "Then tell me, what should I do if I want to see my true identity?"

Shen Wantang smiled calmly, but the ambition in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what: "I want to be a first-class general, second only to the first and above all others among the military officers."

Lu Mingfeng put on a sinister smile and slammed the cup in his hand on the stone table.

"Shen Wantang, now you have learned to open your mouth like a lion."

Shen Wantang lowered her eyes to look at the tea spilled on the edge of her skirt and snorted coldly: "Why do you say that, Lord Prime Minister? It's just that each of us takes what we need."

"If the Prime Minister cannot satisfy me, then I will have no choice but to surrender to His Majesty."

Having said that, Shen Wantang stood up, flicked his sleeves, and was about to leave.

"Do you think you can get out?" Lu Mingfeng sneered, and fierceness slowly emerged in his eyes.

Shen Wantang was not in a hurry. He took three quick steps and turned around three times, and the short blade in his sleeve was already placed on Lu Mingfeng's neck.

"Now, Lord Xiang, do you think I can go out?"

Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Lu Mingfeng stood still, and then he began to tremble.

"Prime Minister, you are a smart man. You must know what win-win cooperation means. Now that I am helping you, I am also helping myself find a way out. Aren't we just short of some troops that can compete with the imperial guards to force the emperor to abdicate? Don't worry, I am enough."

Shen Wantang slowly put away the short blade in his hand and told him in detail what he was thinking.

It is unheard of that a woman is appointed as a first-class general!

But now, the dagger was at his neck, and Lu Mingfeng had to give in even if he didn't want to.

He watched Shen Wantang retract the dagger before he let out a long breath.

"Someone come! Bring some paper and pen!" Lu Mingfeng frowned and spoke in a cold voice.

After writing down the promise to Shen Wantang on the paper, Shen Wantang finally smiled and put the paper in his arms: "In this case, Shen Wantang will serve you wholeheartedly."

into the night.

Above the Prime Minister's residence, a black shadow merged into the night. Its shape could not be seen clearly, but a gust of cold wind could be felt blowing past.

A crow-like shadow fell into Shen Wantang's garden and then knocked on Shen Wantang's door.

"In the past few days, the Marquis of Zhenbei has been attracting attention in the court. All eyes in the court are on him, and no one has noticed the eldest prince's affairs yet."

Bai Ge spoke softly and reported the current situation of the Cen family to Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang nodded with satisfaction.

"Go tell Cen Xiao that it's time to get ready to protect the king." Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows, suggesting something.

The white dove understood instantly, nodded, and then disappeared into the endless night.

The next day.

The first half of the morning was calm, but after noon, the whole capital was in chaos.

"The emperor is critically ill!"

The news spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Ordinary civilians were of course not in a hurry. They just lived their lives as usual, no matter who would be the emperor. However, the court was in chaos.

"Your Majesty has no heirs now. If you can't survive this, who will inherit this country?"

In the side hall, all the ministers were in chaos, feeling melancholy.

"Several princes of the previous emperor have passed away, and even the descendants of the royal family have no successors. What should we do now..."

There was chaos in the side hall.

Suddenly, there was a silence in the hall and everyone turned around.

I saw several eunuchs carrying the dragon throne and slowly coming forward. Ji Xunchuan, who was lying on the couch, looked pale and started coughing violently with a handkerchief in his hand. Although he tried his best to resist, the blood on the handkerchief still flowed down.

"See Your Majesty!"

All the court officials knelt on the ground.

Behind the dragon throne, Lu Mingfeng slowly appeared.

"Everyone, please stand up!" Lu Mingfeng spoke slowly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, some of the court officials kneeling below the stage became reluctant.

"Lu Mingfeng, who do you think you are? How dare you speak on behalf of the emperor!"

The leader among them was the Minister of Justice. Although he was Cen Xiao's man, he had been at odds with Lu Mingfeng for a long time.

Lu Mingfeng had a subtle smile on his face: "Your Majesty has allowed me to announce the decree on your behalf, Minister Liu, even if you are dissatisfied with me, I am the one who announces the decree on behalf of His Majesty."

An official at the side slowly stepped forward and displayed the imperial edict in his hand in front of everyone.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have been bedridden and have delayed state affairs for a long time. From today on, Prime Minister Lu Mingfeng will serve as regent. If I die in the future, the throne will be handed over to Prime Minister Lu Mingfeng. I decree this!"

When the words fell, everyone was shocked.

"This, this is impossible!"

"How could His Majesty abdicate the throne to Lu Mingfeng? He is already in his seventies and half of his body is already buried in the ground. Why would he do this?"

The court was crowded with people, but only the father and son of Zhenbei Marquis remained calm and composed.

Cen Xiao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Mingfeng nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the people's angry expressions without any reaction. He just smiled calmly: "I know that my colleagues are dissatisfied, but this is an imperial decree with the imperial seal."

As he spoke, the eunuch beside him came down with the imperial edict and showed it to everyone.

"Lu Mingfeng, you must have forced His Majesty to sign this imperial edict!" Minister Liu pointed directly at Lu Mingfeng and cursed him, "Lu Mingfeng, you old fool who doesn't know how to live or die, be careful of your grandfather, I will chop off your dog head and hang it on the city wall!"

In response to this, Lu Mingfeng just sneered, then clapped his hands. The master in the dark suddenly appeared, rushed forward and took Minister Liu hostage.

"I have His Majesty's decree, who dares not obey!"

Lu Mingfeng roared in a low voice.

The master wielded the whip to perfection. The whip was tightly around Minister Liu's neck, and his face turned crimson purple in an instant.

Minister Liu, who was usually very strong, suddenly fainted on the ground.
