My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 610: Yu Fu’s Changes

Being asked by his imperial mother, Yu Fu was stunned for a few seconds, having no idea how to deal with the urgent military matter.

Seeing this, Wen Qiaolun looked at her son in disgust. ’Useless thing! How could I give birth to this kind of son? He is as useless as his father!’

Before Yu Fu could notice her disgust, Wen Qiaolun looked away. Scanning the generals and ministers, she calmly asked, "Beloved subjects, what do you all think about this matter?"

Now that it was Wen Qiaolun who was asking, the ministers and generals working for the Wen Clan had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After exchanging glances, one of the ministers stepped out and bowed at Wen Qiaolun.

Straightening his waist, he said, "Empress Dowager Wen, this subject thinks that what Grand Chancellor Qu said was right. We can’t let the western border remain unguarded for a long time."

Nodding in agreement, Wen Qiaolun asked, "Then, do you have any candidate to replace Feng Xiyan guarding the western border?"

The minister glanced at the generals there, pondered for a moment, then chose the strongest amongst them. "Answering the Empress Dowager, we can send General Wen to the western border."

When Wen Qiaolun heard this, she frowned slightly.

Noticing the change in her expression, the minister hurriedly explained, "Empress Dowager Wen, General Wen is Prime Minister Wen’s eldest son."

"Although Prime Minister Wen’s current status is as a prisoner, his case has a lot of doubtful points. Before the Minister of Justice and Dali Si finish the investigation, we shouldn’t make our own judgment."

Lowering her eyes, Wen Qiaolun thought, ’If I want to be the female emperor, I need the Wen Clan’s support. Since these ministers and generals are loyal to the Wen Clan, it’s not impossible for me to make them work for me using Wen Xuanjin.’

Sitting on the dragon throne, Yu Fu observed his imperial mother’s expression. Noticing that she might let his maternal cousin take over the position, Yu Fu clenched his hands as cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

’Imperial Mother is always like this. She only cares about her Wen Clan. Very well. Since you didn’t take Zhen as your son, then don’t blame Zhen for not treating you as my imperial mother!’

After thinking for a while, Wen Qiaolun raised her eyes to look at the minister. "What you said is right. Since there is no one else willing to take on this position, then—"

Before Wen Qiaolun could finish her words, Yu Fu suddenly said, "Zhen thinks that this is inappropriate. There are so many generals in my Great Yu Empire. Why would we use a prisoner’s son as our general?"

Hearing this, Wen Qiaolun frowned and shot a warning gaze at Yu Fu.

Pretending that he didn’t see it, Yu Fu ignored Wen Qiaolun and continued, "Since Wen Kang is guilty of rebellion and corruption, he will be stripped of his prime minister’s position and the commander of the imperial army."

Looking at the entrance of the Hall of Righteousness, Yu Fu ordered, "Someone, come!"

Wen Qiaolun suddenly had a bad premonition when she looked at her son’s cold expression.

Clenching her teeth, she asked in a warning voice, "Your Majesty, what do you think you are doing? Are you rebelling right now?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Turning to look at her, Yu Fu replied with a cold smile, "Imperial Mother, you might have forgotten something."

Not understanding what he was saying, Wen Qiaolun said confusedly, "Aijia didn’t forget anything. Your Majesty, don’t try to change the subject!"

Chuckling coldly, Yu Fu leaned closer to her, then whispered, "Imperial Mother, you are wrong."

"Zhen thinks that you have forgotten that the world belongs to my Yu Clan, and not your Wen Clan. Just because you controlled Zhen for over ten years, you think you are the master of the Yu Empire?"

He scoffed, then sneered, and added, "It’s time for your Wen Clan to learn your real position."

Startled to see the murderous intent flash in her son’s eyes, Wen Qiaolun froze in her place, too shocked to react.

Before she could react, an imperial guard walked into the Hall of Righteousness, then knelt before Yu Fu. Clasping his fists, he said with a lowered head, "This subordinate is here. Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

Looking away from his mother, Yu Fu ordered, "Send a few people to Heaven Prison to retrieve the tiger talisman from Wen Kang."

"This subordinate accepts the order!" Receiving the order, the imperial guard left the Hall of Righteousness and went to Heaven Prison with more than a dozen imperial guards.

After the imperial guard left, Yu Fu looked at the minister and said, "Beloved subject, do you have any opinion?"

The minister was startled by Yu Fu’s question and realized that he was no longer the weak emperor that they could easily control in the past.

Clasping his hands, the minister hurriedly replied with a hint of fear and anxiety in his voice, "This subject has nothing to say. Your Majesty is wise."

While he returned to his position and tried his best to erase his presence, Yu Fu looked at everyone present and said, "Zhen will decide who will replace Great General Feng to guard the western border after Zhen gets the tiger talisman."

Standing up from the dragon throne, he ordered, "Adjourn the court."

Leaving those words behind, Yu Fu left the Hall of Righteousness without sparing even a glance at Wen Qiaolun.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch hurriedly announced, "The morning court is adjourned."

As his shrill voice echoed in the Hall of Righteousness, the ministers and generals knelt on the cold floor and said in unison, "Long live the Emperor for tens of thousands of years!"

Coming back to her senses, Wen Qiaolun realized that her son, who always listened to her obediently, had now rebelled against her.

Shocked and angered by this realization, she clenched her hands. As her long nails pierced into her palms, blood seeped out and dripped to the floor.
