Chapter 473 108 My wife and concubine, my body can’t take it!
"What? The King of Zhenguo wants to usurp the throne?"
Zhao Qiuyan, who was sitting cross-legged, was so surprised that she almost couldn't help but rush out and throw Tan Zijian out of the palace.
If Ye Feng was willing to usurp the throne, with the large number of troops under his command, he could directly ascend the throne and become emperor after defeating King Nanyu, King Pingxi, and exterminating Zhao Changlin.
The most important thing is that even if you give this emperor to Ye Feng, he is unwilling to be the emperor. If Ye Feng is unhappy, he will just quit and not even be the king. Where can I find such a capable and wise minister?
"Your Majesty! It is absolutely true. She is the ruler of Fenghuaxueyue. She saw with her own eyes that Ye Feng and the general of the Nanyuan Wang family of the Great Xia Dynasty had a very enjoyable chat for several hours."
Tan Zijian swore solemnly and did not forget to point to the old woman next to him, saying that she was the witness.
"Ling'er, please ask Lord Tan to leave immediately and don't disturb me while I am practicing. If you still don't listen, go find Xue Gui. As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, can't he control an old man?"
Zhao Qiuyan was too lazy to listen any further.
"Master Tan, please!"
Ling'er also had an unhappy look on her face. She didn't expect that Tan Zijian would make a fuss to see Zhao Qiuyan late at night just to report Ye Feng's plot to usurp the throne.
If she had known that the other party came for this reason, she would not have allowed Tan Zijian to meet Zhao Qiuyan.
"His Majesty……"
Tan Zijian still wanted to give some advice.
But Ling'er said coldly: "Master Tan, people should have dignity and trees should have bark. If you are really thrown out of the palace by the imperial guards, it will be so embarrassing if the news spreads tomorrow."
"Uh……"
Tan Zijian felt Ling'er's unfriendly gaze and did not dare to stay any longer. He could only walk out of the palace with the old woman in embarrassment.
"These old guys are so hateful that they keep thinking about getting rid of my king all day long." Zhao Qiuyan couldn't help but mutter when she heard Tan Zijian leaving outside.
If it weren't for Ye Feng, the guardian of the country, how could she be at ease to practice all day and all night. She didn't need to worry about the affairs of the entire Song Dynasty. She only wanted to break through the shackles, pursue the realm of immortals on land, and how to keep Ye Feng so that he would not be snatched away by other dynasties.
"Ling'er, from now on, when these old guys come to see me, I will not see them. Don't you think this will save me some trouble?" Zhao Qiuyan instructed Ling'er outside.
"According to the order."
Ling'er responded.
……
early morning.
Ye Feng arrived at the court early, sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Go up!"
As Wei Xian's long and sharp voice sounded, the civil and military officials waiting outside the court lined up on both sides and began to walk into the court.
"Greetings to the King of Zhenguo!"
Civil and military officials bowed to Ye Feng.
Li Linpu and Li Xun stood there, and they couldn't help but look at Tan Zijian behind them.
Tan Zijian had a worried look on his face and shook his head at the two of them.
The two of them immediately understood that it seemed that Tan Zijian's personal meeting with His Majesty last night did not have much effect, and they felt regretful in their hearts.
"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."
Wei Xian stood not far from Ye Feng.
"Your Excellency, I have something to report."
Yu Shouren is still the Minister of Personnel. He issued Ban Chao's appointment document yesterday, but he doesn't know how Tan Zijian will deal with it.
If Ban Chao were to come to court, it would be like having two Ministers of Rites. Such a thing has never happened since ancient times.
"Master Yu, please speak."
Ye Feng had already guessed what Yu Shouren was going to say.
"Your Majesty, I appoint Ban Chao as the Minister of Rites. What should Lord Tan do with him?" When Yu Shouren's words rang out, Tan Zijian in the court was stunned. He stared at Yu Shouren with eyes wide open, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"Lord Tan has made great contributions, but unfortunately he is old and weak. I heard that he has nearly 108 wives and concubines."
"For the sake of Lord Tan's health, he will remain the Minister of Rites, but from now on, all matters concerning the Ministry of Rites will be handled by Ban Chao."
Ye Feng was sitting there, and his words were all about consideration for Tan Zijian's health. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Zhenguo Jun was about to make a move.
"Thank you for your consideration, Lord Zhenguo. However, I am still full of energy and do not need retirement. I hope you will revoke your order." Tan Zijian was suddenly a little panicked. What a joke! According to Ye Feng's opinion, he, the Minister of Rites, would be just a decoration in the future. An official without real power would completely lose his value.
Li Lipu, Li Xun and others had flickering eyes.
Qu Xuan was the Minister of Works. Both he and Tan Zijian were promoted by Li Linpu. When he heard that Tan Zijian was being sidelined, he began to panic.
"Oh? Lord Tan, I gave you a way out, but you stepped down. Why do you insist that I make things clear?" Ye Feng frowned. He wanted to give Tan Zijian a decent exit, but he didn't expect that the other party would not be willing to accept it. "You have 108 wives and concubines in your family. Lord Tan is almost 80 years old. You revel every night, and your official duties are so busy that your body can't bear it."
Hua Hua Hua...
"I've heard that Master Tan is getting more powerful as he gets older. You can't judge a person by his appearance. He's so old, and he still has so many wives and concubines."
"No wonder Lord Tan has not been seen in the Ministry of Rites after the morning court session recently. It turns out he has gone home to 'take care' of his wives and concubines."
"I wonder how big Master Tan's courtyard is. It can actually accommodate 108 wives and concubines. I can't help but want to take a look."
Some officials in the Ministry of Rites who disliked Tan Zijian were deliberately whispering to each other. Seeing that Tan Zijian was completely crushed by Zhenguojun, they didn't mind giving him a push.
"Humph! Ye Feng, Ye Feng, I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded." Tan Zijian felt that he must have seen His Majesty report Ye Feng last night, and the other party knew about it, so he openly took away his power as the Minister of Rites in the court today: "I have 108 wives and concubines at home, so what? I have never violated any laws, they are all willing to be my wife and concubine."
When Ye Feng heard what Tan Zijian said, he couldn't help but sigh that this old man was really thick-skinned.
You are over eighty years old. Even if you are strong and healthy, you can't take care of so many women. If you are not the Minister of Rites, who would be willing to do that?
"But, I heard that the Lord of the State openly met with the general of the Nanyuan Iron Blade Wang family of the Great Xia Dynasty in a brothel."
"Seeing that he has great power in his hands, is the King planning to usurp the throne and collude with the enemy country?" Seeing that things were about to fall out, Tan Zijian no longer cared about anything else and almost roared.
Ye Feng was stunned at first, but then he understood. It must be that he was chatting with Wang Meng in Fenghuaxueyue that day, and the old woman who was the shopkeeper of Fenghuaxueyue overheard it inadvertently.
"You have no evidence and you slander me. Do you know what crime you are committing?"
Ye Feng looked at Tan Zijian with a playful smile in his eyes.
"Who said I don't have evidence? The shopkeeper of Fenghuaxueyue saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to call her to the court and confront her openly."
Tan Zijian's words rang out.
Li Linpu, who was not far away, had a livid face and was filled with anger. This guy was sidelined, but he still wanted to involve Fenghuaxueyue. Everyone knew that Fenghuaxueyue was his son Li Xun's property. He was really ruthless. He immediately scolded, "You are so mean, Tan Zijian, you are still ruthless and slander the king. I suggest that you directly dismiss Tan Zijian from the position of Minister of Rites and hand him over to Lord Tang of the Ministry of Justice for trial."
