Chapter 86 Coercion
Jin Yuanjun is just a civil servant, not a general, and the million-dollar army in her hands was snatched from the fifth prince when she seized the palace.

However, now, they can use this point to pinch Jin Yuanjun's seven inches.

Jin Yuanjun was too eager for quick success, so she never felt that it was inappropriate for her to hold a large number of troops. Military power was always in the hands of generals or handed over to the emperor. There was never a saying that she was a civilian holding military power.

But Jin Yuanjun just made this small oversight, which allowed someone with serious intentions to take advantage of the loophole.

On the morning of the next day, the prime minister held the jade wat in his hand, and respectfully said to the little emperor who had just turned one year old sitting on the dragon chair: "I report to the emperor, I have something to announce."

"The female Prime Minister initially led an army of one million people to defeat the forces of Longchuan and regained Longchuan. It was really gratifying. However, now that the female Prime Minister is a civil servant, since the founding of the Great Xi Dynasty, there has never been a civil servant in charge of the Tiger Talisman. Please order the emperor to take back the tiger talisman!" After speaking, the prime minister returned to his original position without looking sideways.

The little emperor couldn't understand what the prime minister was saying. He was wearing a bright yellow little dragon robe, and the dragon crown on his head was crooked. Looking at the many people below, he was giggling and drooling.

Mr. Jin Yuan was caught off guard by the prime minister's hands like this. She stood behind the prime minister, raised her head, and gave the prime minister a dark look. Don't think she doesn't know about this old thing. These people are just afraid of the military power in her hands.

However, now that Jin Yuanjun has just tasted the sweetness of power, how can he be willing to let it go so easily?

Just when she came out to defend herself, other officials in the court spoke up.

The prime minister's disciples were all over the court, so the officials belonging to the prime minister's faction stood up one after another, echoing the prime minister's words.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister's words are justified, and the minister seconded his proposal."

"Your Majesty, there has been no such precedent since the founding of our country, the Great Xi Dynasty. The rules left by our ancestors must not be abolished!"

"Your Majesty, I and others all feel that the rules set by our ancestors should still be abided by. We would also like to ask Your Majesty to order the Tiger Talisman to be taken back."

Now that the little emperor is young and doesn't understand anything, the Queen Mother listens behind the curtain, which means that the imperial power is in the hands of the Prime Minister's Office. It seems that the Prime Minister's Office is going to dominate the court...

People with a discerning eye can see the current situation in the court at a glance, so most of them remain neutral and silent, and they don't want to offend the prime minister's office for the sake of Jin Yuanjun.

Jin Yuanjun naturally has staff, and there are still a few people who speak for her.

"Your majesty, I think that the previous battle in Longchuan has already seen the strength of the female minister, and the female minister is fully capable of leading the army to fight!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, worked so hard for the Great Xi Dynasty. First, you saved the people in Wancheng, and then assisted the Emperor in recovering Longchuan. Your Majesty's contribution is indisputable! Don't let your Majesty feel cold! "

"Your Majesty, I think..."

"emperor……"

In the court hall, officials who were divided into two factions of approval and opposition, began to quarrel with one another.

In the end, the Queen Mother scolded and said: "Everyone be silent! The Ai family has already understood what you mean. The female prime minister is now a minister of the Great Xi Dynasty. Naturally, I don't want to chill the hearts of loyal ministers. Now let the female minister make this decision on her own, thinking about it, the female minister is not the kind of traitor who conspires."

The Queen Mother's voice came from behind the curtain. When Jin Yuanjun heard this, he stiffened slightly and immediately gritted his teeth. She knew that once the military power was in her hands, these people would look at her with eager eyes. peaceful.

However, now that she is alone and weak, she still has more than enough strength to face the entire prime minister's mansion. It seems that even if she is not willing to hand in the tiger talisman today, she has to hand it in.

If she is unwilling to hand over, others will have reason to pour a basin of dirty water on her, saying that she conspires against the emperor, that she has no imperial power and despises the monarch.As a result, all the reputation she had accumulated in the past was ruined. She was truly worthy of being a prime minister who had dominated the officialdom for decades, and made Lord Jin Yuan bleed with one move.

Jun Jin Yuan took a step forward, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he raised his voice and said calmly: "Of course I am willing to seal the tiger talisman, the emperor is at ease, when I go back, I will return the tiger talisman with both hands."

No one expected Jin Yuan-jun to compromise so easily, so when Jin Yuan-jun opened his mouth, there were voices of discussion in the court to varying degrees.

Hearing Mr. Jin Yuan's compromise, the queen mother who was sitting behind the curtain raised her eyes, and looked at the prime minister among the officials across the curtain. The queen mother nodded secretly in her heart. What her father said was really useful. To hand over the military power, Jin Yuanjun had no choice but to hold his nose and hand in the military power even if he didn't want to.

The queen mother was very satisfied with the comparison, so the matter was brought up in one stroke, but after the court, the queen mother sent people to follow Jin Yuanjun all the time, for what, it goes without saying.

"My lord, the empress dowager is sympathetic to your tiredness, so let the servants come and get the tiger talisman, so I don't bother you to go there by yourself." The eunuch said it nicely, but no one knew that the queen mother was clearly here. Staring at Jin Yuanjun gave her no chance to deny it.

When Jin Yuanjun heard the words, his eyes darkened, and he looked at the eunuch, his fists hidden under his wide sleeves were clenched tightly.

She knew that she couldn't just compromise so easily, otherwise, she would only put herself in a more passive situation, which was definitely not what Jin Yuanjun wanted to see.

It's just, what is she going to do...

Jin Yuanjun returned to Yuewang Mansion, and took the eunuch to his study, but halfway there, Jin Yuanjun suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Seeing Jin Yuanjun stop suddenly, the eunuch immediately asked: "Sir, what's wrong?"

The eunuch asked and looked at Jin Yuanjun inquiringly. When he came, he had been entrusted by the Queen Mother to bring the tiger talisman back. He was the Queen Mother's confidant eunuch and was extremely loyal to the Queen Mother, so there was no need to worry about him rebelling.

Now Jin Yuanjun suddenly stopped in the middle of the walk, which inevitably made the eunuch suspicious of her. Could it be that the female prime minister was unwilling to return the tiger amulet, so she deliberately played tricks?

Just when the eunuch had this idea in his mind, Jin Yuanjun seemed to remember it suddenly, and said to him: "Oh father-in-law, I'm really sorry, I suddenly remembered that my tiger talisman, when I was in Wancheng, Because the prince of Hexi wanted to dispatch troops, so for convenience, I handed over the Tiger Talisman to him for safekeeping, but I didn't expect to forget about it when I returned to Beijing!"

"What?!" The eunuch screamed in disbelief, his eyes as big as bells.

Jin Yuanjun seemed to be frightened by him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he said to the eunuch very apologetically: "Father-in-law, I'm really sorry that I made your trip in vain. I also asked my father-in-law to return to the palace and replace me." Please explain it to the Queen Mother carefully, but don’t let her misunderstand..."
