Chapter 1682: Zhang Ronghua’s Killing Move (5) Chapter 1682: Zhang Ronghua’s Killing Move (5) ” Of course!” The Crown Prince nodded and said,” Just this alone is not enough to kill the Zhao family!”
” Zhao Huan has been in a high position for many years,” Zhang Ronghua said.” He must have some enemies.
The city is in chaos now.
Anything can happen.”
The Crown Prince understood and issued an edict.” Order all officials to rush to the Purple Extreme Hall within fifteen minutes to discuss the court affairs.”
“Yes, sir!” Wei Shang went out to pass down the order.
“Is there anything wrong with Grand Preceptor and Grand Protector?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
The Crown Prince shook his head.” The outer palace is sealed.
Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Before you return, they won’t be able to leave the office hall.”
Their cooperation was very tacit, and they played them to death.
…
The following matters were carried out according to the plan.
The emperor and his subjects cooperated to put on a show in the court.
As expected, the Grand Preceptor and the Grand Protector knew that this was inappropriate and could very well get themselves into trouble.
They had no choice but to stand up and protect Zhao Huanyi’s family.
In the end, just as he had guessed, there was insufficient evidence.
After the court meeting ended, the three dukes and the four elders of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets were called to the royal study.
When discussing the vacant positions in the Sui Family, no matter which position was involved, even if it was a small one, it would be divided among the Crown Prince and the new faction.
Grand Secretary Cui and the other two also drank some of the soup.
In the first round of voting, the three chancellors lost to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The subsequent discussion process was even skipped.
The Crown Prince did not say a word from beginning to end.
The three dukes knew that even if they resisted, it would be useless.
Including the Grand Tutor, they only had three votes, and they couldn’t even defeat Zhang Ronghua and the others.
Throughout the entire process, his face was black as he watched them eat until their mouths were full of oil.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were in the wrong place, they would have exploded long ago.
When the discussion was over, the three dukes immediately left.
They did not want to stay here any longer.
It was so disgusting!
After Grand Secretary Cui and the other two left, Zhang Ronghua stayed behind to discuss the next step.
The Crown Prince said seriously,” They have recognized the current situation.
The power in their hands has already been taken away.
Even if the three of them join forces, the cabinet discussion won’t be able to win against the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, let alone the court.
With their character, they won’t let this matter rest.”
Zhang Ronghua said confidently,” We can let the Grand Tutor go for now.
The most important thing now is to deal with the Grand Tutor and the Grand Protector.
As long as we take them down, we can wipe out the darkness.
After we get rid of them, we can deal with the Grand Tutor and the Su family.”
The Crown Prince had guessed it.
He took advantage of his victory and pushed his advantage of numbers to the limit.
He directly discussed with the cabinet, and without going through the court, he appointed and dismissed officials from the Grand Preceptor and Grand Protector’s faction.
He arrested and froze them, forcing them to make a move.
The methods that could be used on the surface had been blocked.
As long as he did not go to court, the two of them would not be able to raise it in the court.
The only method was to discuss with the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
Back to the beginning, the three dukes only had three votes, while Qing Lin and the others had four votes.
They would lose every time they fought.
Other than that, there were only other tricks left.
Once the Grand Preceptor and the Grand Guardian made a move, it would be their doomsday.
“Where’s Jiang Tian?” he asked solemnly.
“He’s out doing some work.
He should be on his way back,” Zhang Ronghua said.
“You want me to send someone to protect you?”
Zhang Ronghua shook his head.” I already have enough power.
If you send more people over, it will break the balance.
Do they still dare to attack?”
The Crown Prince’s expression was solemn,”If you are injured as the price, I would rather not do it.”
“Don’t worry, I will take note.”
The Crown Prince nodded and issued an edict.” From now on, the morning court session will be canceled for half a month.
If there is an emergency, report it to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”
“Yes, sir!” Wei Shang replied.
Grand Secretary Zhang’s power had increased once again.
Apart from the six ministers and the three dukes, the other officials could only go through the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
With his influence, it wouldn’t be too much for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to say that he had the final say.
From the Xia Emperor’s point of view, this matter was very disadvantageous.
However, from His Highness ‘point of view, all the problems could be solved easily.
Now, he had to pay more attention to his words than before.
He went down from the imperial platform and left the imperial study to pass down the decree.
The Crown Prince’s tensed face relaxed.” I’m getting married the day after tomorrow.
Come over tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, sir!” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
He sighed in his heart.
Their relationship was coming to an end.
After tomorrow, it would be the time for them to break up.
“Go!” The Crown Prince said.
“I will take my leave!” Zhang Ronghua bowed and left.
After a long time.
“Do you think I’m too good to Qinglin?”asked the Crown Prince.
Wei Shang lowered his head and tacitly agreed.
“You don’t understand!” The Crown Prince shook his head.
Father was wrong too.
He shouldn’t have fallen out with Qinglin.
Fortunately, it wasn’t to the point where it couldn’t be adjusted.
There was still time.”
He took the initiative to explain.
” No one else can reconcile the power of the emperor and the power of the subjects, but I can guarantee that no matter how powerful Qing Lin is, he will never betray us, and his descendants will never betray us.
They will only be loyal to Xia!”
Wei Shang couldn’t figure it out.
He thought about it and asked,” Are you sure?”
” I’m 120% sure!” The Crown Prince revealed a confident expression as if everything was within his grasp.
There was an extra 20%.
Wei Shang didn’t get to the bottom of it.
Even if he did, no one would dare to force His Highness to say it if he didn’t want to.
However, His Highness had already said it to this extent.
It was obvious that he had a plan in mind.
“Have you prepared everything related to my wedding?”asked the Crown Prince.
The Ministry of Rites and Guanglu Temple had been preparing for this, and it was almost done.
With His Highness managing the country, there were signs of him becoming the Human Emperor.
After discussion, the original standards were raised by half a level.
