Zhao Qinglan finally showed her first smile and said, “This palace believes that together with all of you officials, we will surely overcome the current difficulties. When the Crown Prince returns, this palace will reward all of you.”

"But before that, I urge all of you loyal subjects to diligently perform your duties. Securing the stability of the state and reassuring the hearts of the people are the most crucial tasks at hand. If there is nothing else, court is adjourned."

One sudden dispersal of the court, signifying that this session had ended with an outcome none had anticipated.

All the ministers looked at each other in astonishment, but under the lead of Zhao Xuanji and Su Zhen'ting, they knelt down again and shouted "Your Majesty".

After the shout of "Long live!", people successively withdrew from the Taihe Hall.

When the officials left the Taihe Palace, they saw a large number of Imperial Forest Army guarding it. Each soldier held weapons and looked expressionless.

Only then did the officials come to their senses, realizing that the current outcome was already the best possible.

If anything had happened in the Taihe Hall just now, I'm afraid this batch of Imperial Guards would rush in and carry out a bloody purge.

The ministers, regaining their composure, all felt a chill down their spines. They were deeply afraid and grateful that no bloodshed had occurred today.

Zhao Xuanji hurried out of the palace, and Fu Yuzhi rushed after him, whispering, "Grand Tutor..."

Zhaoxuanji suddenly stopped and turned to Yu Zhi, saying, "Something is fishy about today's events."

"Fu Yuzhi gritted her teeth and said, "First it was the Crown Princess, then the Empress. They entered the Taihe Hall one after another, laying the groundwork step by step. Now looking back, I feel like I've been carefully designed."

With a cold smile, Zhao Xuanji said, “Since we failed to seize power at the court meeting, then there's no need for us to go through the court meeting for our next move.”

Fu Yuzhi's expression tightened, and she unconsciously lowered her voice and said, "What do you mean, Elder"

Zhao Xuanji said coldly, “Right now the East Palace is definitely watching us closely. It’s not a good idea to go after those obvious targets directly, so we should start from the periphery first. The faster the speed, the more decisive the methods.”

"The prince is still out on campaign, spending money like water every day. If we cut off his financial sources first, he'll be in a bind. There's no way to fight a war without spending money."

As far as I know, the national bonds issued by the Hu Department's money house are the foundation of this prince's military operation, and these bonds rely on a woman named Liu Sichun and her family to operate.

"First, find someone to eliminate the entire Liu family. Then, figure out a way to blame Liu's affairs on Xu Changqing, who is the Minister of Finance. The two frequently interact, and there must be some clues between them. As long as Xu Changqing is brought down, the Donggong faction will inevitably be in chaos."

At that time, if we went about it slowly and carefully, there would always be a way to make them disrupt their own ranks.

Fu Yuzhi, upon hearing this, suddenly understood and then chuckled lightly: “As expected, Elder Ge is truly insightful.”

"Go ahead and take care of that. I still have some things to deal with. Let me know the results as soon as you have them."

Zhao Xuanji finished speaking, patted Fu YuZhi's shoulder, then turned and got into the carriage, leaving directly.

Watching Zhao Xuanji's departing carriage, Fu Yuzhi didn't hesitate and immediately went back to prepare for the next steps.
