Chapter 117: King Song Loses Power!

"call!"

A gust of wind swept by, and the sky was dark with dark clouds. King Song's mood was as low as the dark clouds above his head.

"Recovering at home" is only four simple words, but it is a gap between him and Chaotang Zhijian. This was not an order, nor did it say that he had done anything wrong, it was just a piece of well-intentioned "concern" advice that excluded him from the court.

"The king's order must not be violated", no matter how many preparations and plans he had before, they all disappeared at this moment.

"Unexpected..."

King Song clenched his fists and closed his eyes slowly, feeling cold in his heart.

In the court for more than 20 years, the monarch and his ministers know each other. But this is the first time King Song has encountered such an imperial decree. The content of the imperial decree is simple, without even superfluous embellishments.

From this edict, Song Wang felt a cold taste. The Holy Emperor has clearly expressed his attitude in this way.

"King Song, accept the order!"

Eunuch Yu held up the imperial decree, looked at King Song and said coldly.

"Yes, there is Mrs. Lao!"

King Song respectfully took over the imperial decree from Eunuch Yu.

Holding the imperial decree in his hands, King Song sat in the hall for a whole day in a daze.

"King Song, accept the order!"

Eunuch Yu sneered, and handed over the imperial decree in his hand. It was already the second day that King Song received such an imperial edict. Not a single word of the content has changed!

Day three, day four! ...

At the very beginning, the King of Song was still ambitious and wanted to contact his ministers to make a big difference in the court and stop the Holy Emperor.

But after several days in succession, King Song's heart became cold.

"Your Highness, this is not good!"

Lu Ting stood on the left and right, worried:

"It's already the fifth day, and His Majesty seems determined not to let you go to the court. The Ministry of Punishment, the Court and the Ministry of War are not presided over by you, and the situation is very bad now.

"

"It's okay in the court, with King Wang Gen responding. But there are a lot of trivial matters in the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War every day, and someone must take charge of them. If His Highness is not around, someone will automatically take over His Highness's original responsibilities. Now, King Qi There is already a lot of action over there, sending someone to take over His Highness's duties. If this continues, His Highness will gradually be rejected by King Qi."

Although King Song could not go to court, Lu Ting could. However, he is only a bachelor and has no real power at all in the court.

In this regard, we can only watch and worry.

"I know……"

Song Wang sat alone in the hall, looking absent-minded. The real situation is far worse than what Lu Ting said. King Song knew deeply that His Majesty was slowly pushing him out of the court in this way.

It was different from any previous time, this time, King Song felt a cold and hard heart.

After more than 20 years in politics, King Song lost his power for the first time in the court.

"The decree has arrived!"

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, Mr. Yu walked with his head held high, with a signature sarcasm hanging from the corner of his mouth, and arrived again as promised.

"Following the heavens, the emperor said: The King of Song is worried about the affairs of the country, and he is overworked. The special decree is to rest at home. If there is no decree, he will not be allowed to go to court! This is my honor."

Boom!

As soon as the voice fell, King Song and Lu Ting's expressions changed drastically. This imperial edict is almost exactly the same as before, only a few more words have been added, "If there is no edict, you will not be allowed to go to court"!

A few simple words, but the meaning is completely different from before.

"how so?"

Lu Ting opened his eyes wide and looked at Eunuch Yu in surprise.

"It's true, it's true, I knew it would be like this, I knew it would be like this!..."

King Song's heart was cold, and he seemed to have received a huge blow.

"If you don't have an edict, you can't go to court", these simple words are the most severe blow to King Song. Although he didn't point out the fault of King Song, nor did he deprive him of his official rank, but these simple words were equivalent to substantially excluding King Song from the court.

From then on, if there was no order from the Holy Emperor, King Song would not be allowed to participate in the early dynasty at all. Let alone participating in government affairs.

"Your Highness, accept the order!"

With a pale face, Yu Gonggong held the imperial decree in one hand and handed it over, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The eunuchs in the palace dared to laugh at the prince of the royal family. This is more than audacity. If they hadn't received the sacred order from the Holy Emperor, how could they dare to do so?

"Thank you, Eunuch."

King Song's face was ashen, and he took the imperial decree from Eunuch Yu respectfully.

"His Royal Highness King Song, forgive our family for talking too much, about the matter of Concubine Taizhen, please take care of yourself!"

After saying this with a sneer, Eunuch Yu turned around and left.

If the master is unhappy, the slave will not be happy either. Everyone in the palace now knows that the number one person who opposes the Holy Emperor and Concubine Taizhen being together is Song Wang Li Chengqi.

The eunuchs in the palace are all fighting against each other, and Eunuch Yu will naturally not have a good face towards King Song.

After Eunuch Yu left, the hall fell into a long silence.

Looking at the imperial decree in the hands of King Song, everyone felt heavy.

Everyone knew that from now on, the most noble "Hall of Supreme Harmony" in the Shenzhou of China would become out of reach for King Song.

Unless he got the Holy Emperor's decree, he no longer has the right to step into it.

Lu Ting looked at King Song beside him, feeling worried.

No one could have expected the evolution of the Concubine Taizhen incident to such an extent. Originally thought that everyone's biggest enemies were the Yao family and King Qi who supported Concubine Taizhen, as long as they were defeated in the court battle, His Majesty would be able to change his mind.

But at this moment, everyone discovered that their real "opponent" has only one person from beginning to end, and that is His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

The Yao family and King Qi were just following the emperor's will.

"I can't think of it, I can't think of it!..."

Song Wangtui sat in the main hall, his expression seemed to have received a huge blow. Being ostracized in the court and losing his rights was not what hit King Song the most.

What hit King Song the most was that in his heart he had always been wise and powerful, and he could be said to be the wisest king since the entire Tang Dynasty was famous. He actually wanted to exclude him from the court for a woman.

This is what makes King Song unacceptable.

Although losing power in the court makes people feel uncomfortable, but it is difficult to make him turn to support Concubine Taizhen. It's about the righteousness of the emperor and ministers, and the reputation of the ministers. It is absolutely impossible for the King of Song to turn around and support Concubine Taizhen!

"...It seems that the kid really guessed it right!"

Suddenly there was a long sigh, and Lu Ting's familiar voice came from King Song's ear.

"Bachelor Lu, what do you mean?"

King Song raised his head and said in surprise.

Lu Ting's rewording was inexplicable, sudden, and endless, so people didn't know what it meant.

"Does your Highness still remember Wang Chong, the upright third son of King Yan Wang?"

Lu Ting shook his head, feeling indescribable.

"Remember, didn't you see him in the Sifang Pavilion? Why did Bachelor Lu mention this?"

King Song was surprised. I don't understand why Lu Ting mentioned that child at such a time.

"When I left that time, I looked back at him especially. I always had a feeling that the kid seemed to know that we would fail."

Lutin said frankly.

"how can that be?"

Song Wang straightened up abruptly, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Things in the court were turbulent and turbulent, involving all aspects. Until the last moment, even their ministers who have been immersed in politics for decades may not know the result.

How could he, a teenager, know with such certainty.

Lu Ting just smiled and didn't say much.

Lu Ting's character likes to support those talented juniors very much. And Wang Chong's ability is not just that simple.

As for Wang Yan's heir, perhaps even Wang Chong himself didn't know about it. Lu Ting observed and paid attention to him far more than he imagined.

"Your Highness still remembers when he asked about Concubine Taizhen. Looking back now, that child actually wanted to dissuade us. It was only later that he knew that he was doomed to fail. So he changed his approach."

Luting said.

King Song was startled, and finally a solemn look appeared on his face. If the child was really what Luting said, it would be really extraordinary.

Echoing carefully, Wang Chong seemed to really want to dissuade himself when he spoke.

It's just that under the circumstances at that time, neither he nor Lu Ting could listen to it.

"Bachelor Lu, what do you mean? Do you want me to turn around and support Concubine Taizhen?"

Song Wang's face was a little ugly.

"Your Highness, I don't want you to change your attitude and support Concubine Taizhen instead. But don't you think there was something in that child's words back then? He kept hinting at us back then and wanted us to meet the birthday king Li Mao."

"I always feel that he seems to know something. This time, His Majesty's attitude towards Concubine Taizhen is too strange. It is completely different from the past. I think, maybe we should really look for King Shou. Maybe we can know something wrong Same thing."

Lutin said.

King Song remained silent, with a serious look in his eyes.

If in the past, Lu Ting turned on him, he wouldn't even think about it. But so many things happened one after another, and after receiving the five edicts, King Song's mentality has changed a lot.

The attitude of the Holy Emperor is too strange. Song Wang never thought that he would reach this point for a woman. King Song didn't know much about Concubine Taizhen before.

All I know is that she is the wife of Shou Wang Li Mao.

In the past, he would never have looked at this woman more than once. But now, King Song suddenly felt a strong desire.

He really wanted to know what kind of woman could make such a change in the Holy Emperor.

Time passed slowly, and there was silence in the hall.

Lu Ting didn't urge him either, but just stood aside, silently waiting for King Song's opinion.

Eh! ——

After an unknown amount of time, a long sigh came from the hall.

"Help me prepare. I'll go to Shouwang Mansion to meet Mao'er!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Lu Ting smiled knowingly, got up quickly, and walked outside.

After about a while, King Song left the mansion, took a carriage, and headed all the way to Shou Wang's mansion.
