Chapter 81:

Chang Tingzhao's words caused an uproar in the audience. The ministers were discussing, Chang Tingzhao was a military commander but not a reckless man, why would he say that? Although the Sixth Prince has not yet inherited the throne or even become the Crown Prince, he can see the Emperor's attitude as the Regent. The Sixth Prince's faction's influence in the court and the country is obvious to all. Although Chang Tingzhao holds military power, his arrogance makes people think deeply.

The Sixth Prince's eyes were grim. "Chang Tingzhao, you are so bold! What do you mean by that?"

Chang Tingzhao was not afraid at all. His eyes were scorching. "The Emperor has been in seclusion for a long time. It is rare to see the ministers and concubines in the harem. Although the Sixth Prince is the regent, it is not legitimate. Now we have defeated the Western Rong. This is a great event. If the Emperor still does not show up, it will make the ministers and the people feel uneasy."

Minister of Rites Li Zhongqing said, "General Chang's words are really inappropriate. It is a well-known fact that the Emperor is in seclusion to practice the elixir. Now that the Immortal Palace has not been completed, it will be a big problem if we disturb the Emperor at this time. Who will bear the consequences of the emperor's immortal cultivation plan? The emperor will surely come out of retreat at the right time, so why rush it now. "

The Thirteenth Prince, who had been resting with his eyes closed, spoke slowly at this time, "What a joke, the emperor can even take care of trivial matters such as granting marriages while cultivating immortals, how could he bother the emperor about such a major matter as meeting with all the ministers? Could it be that the immortal who led the emperor to cultivate is the Yue Lao immortal? This is impossible. Who is the emperor? He must hold an important position in the fairy palace

after he ascends to heaven. Being Yue Lao is not a burial. This immortal must be cultivated again." Li Zhongqing's eyes widened directly. How could this be justified in the world? But the Thirteenth Prince has always acted absurdly and talked nonsense. He must not be offended, otherwise there might be poisonous snakes and scorpions hidden in the sedan chair when he returns. The Thirteenth Prince has a gold medal of immunity from death granted by the previous emperor. Although the Thirteenth Prince is almost an idle prince and only manages horses in the Imperial Household Department, he is not someone that people like him can mess with.

Although the Thirteenth Prince's words were unreliable, they made sense. He was in charge of such trivial matters as granting marriages, so why couldn't he come out to meet everyone? Besides, why did the emperor want to cultivate immortality? He wanted to live forever, not because he didn't want to be the emperor. On the contrary, it was because he wanted to be the emperor forever that he went to cultivate immortality. How could he not be seen for half a year? The power in his hands was slowly divided by the Sixth Prince's faction. Now the Sixth Prince's faction is the only one in power in the court. If this continues, I'm afraid that the emperor will not be able to become the emperor if he comes out again.

Everyone knows this, but they are usually suppressed by the Sixth Prince's faction and can't see the emperor, so they can only give up. But now that someone has taken the lead, they all agree.

Although the Sixth Prince's faction is now arrogant in the court, in fact, its foundation is still shallow. The He family used to be just a small family, and their ancestors were just small landlords. It was not until the father-in-law of the emperor took a seventh-rank official position that they became related to this official family. It was not until the Empress He became the Empress that the He family slowly began to cultivate power and became a famous family.
