I Have Awakened The Deduction System - Chapter 173 - Murdering the Grand Tutor

The Great Zhou Dynasty.

The court officials stood in the throne room, bitterly waiting for Emperor Cheng’an.

“What time is it already? In my opinion, we have been waiting bitterly for another day. His Majesty will not come.” An important official said disappointedly.

“Sigh, when will it end? The government has been abandoned!”

“This official will go see the Empress Dowager in a moment!”

!!

“You’re crazy. A while ago, a colleague went to find Empress Dowager. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Daoist temple, he was captured and charged with the crime of murdering the Empress Dowager. He was a barbarian!”

“Great Zhou is finished!”

The officials in the court were discussing spiritedly. The Emperor had not attended court for several days in a row.

Even if he occasionally came twice, he had no interest in politics. If someone dared to say that there was an existence in the harem that could bring disaster to the country and the people, they would be executed in two days for groundless crimes.

The key was that all the important officials who could handle significant matters were forcefully dismissed and replaced by a new batch of direct officials.

This group of new officials fought for power all day long, fawning over the upper class and being corrupt.

If this continued, the Great Zhou Dynasty would completely collapse.

A loyal official might lose his life, but a treacherous official could rise step by step and earn a lot of money.

I’m afraid everyone has a scale in their hearts on how to choose!

“The time has come, disperse!” The blue-robed eunuch in charge of the rites waved his horsetail whisk and left the throne room.

The eunuchs and palace maids were even more helpless because they didn’t even have the right to manage the Emperor.

Among the ministers, some were happy, some shook their heads helplessly, some were angry at him for not competing, and a few had nothing to do with it.

The officials on Cheng’an’s side wished for this to happen every day.

Because they had the most power now. They could have beautiful women and money if they wanted, and they didn’t have to do anything.

It was simply like a god’s life.

The Governing Hall!

The place that symbolized the Emperor’s diligence had been completely transformed into a place of pleasure by Cheng’an.

He simply didn’t wear any clothes, grabbed a Western beauty at random, and began to do dirty things in public.

Western region’s singer, Lana, brought a glass of fine wine to Cheng’an’s mouth considerately.

“Your Majesty, yesterday I came up with some new tricks. Tonight, I’ll have them play with your Majesty.” Lana said with a smile.

“Alright, if beloved consort has any new tricks, bring them out. This Emperor will take them all.” After Cheng’an finished drinking the wine, he pressed down on the Western beauty under him again and continued his unfinished exercise.

“When will this concubine become the Empress? His Majesty has promised!” Lana pressed her face against Cheng’an’s chest as she spoke in a highly aggrieved voice.

“This Emperor has the final say after the dethronement, but some ministers don’t agree to the appointment of an Empress. The main thing is that Grand Tutor Liu has never relented.” Cheng’an said helplessly.

The Empress played the role of “Half the Sky” in a country, so the selection of the Empress also had a stringent system.

Moreover, the Empress was a role model for all the women in the world. She also had to manage the concubines and palace servants in the harem. She had the power to reward and punish, as well as to kill and maintain order in the harem.

At the same time, the Empress was also responsible for persuading the Emperor and supervising the actions of the Emperor’s harem.

Liu Qing did an excellent job in this aspect.

As for Lana, not only did Tutor Liu constantly mention her as a devilish woman, but he also declared that if Cheng’an dared to make her his Empress, he would immediately kill himself in the throne room.

One had to know that Grand Tutor Liu had once been a great scholar, and his students could be found all over the world.

If he committed suicide in the throne room because of this matter, then Cheng’an would be condemned by all the scholars in the world, forever nailed to the pillar of shame.

“That old thing asks for death every day, and he’s still alive for so long. Your Majesty, why don’t you go along with his wishes?” Lana’s long, narrow eyes flashed with killing intent.

Those who dared to stop her from controlling the world must all die!

As long as Grand Tutor Liu was still alive, she would be a concubine. She would not become the mother of the country and the Empress, and she would not have the right to touch government affairs.

“What? No! Everyone says that heaven and earth are masters and teachers. If I kill my own teacher, isn’t that against heaven’s will?” Cheng’an was shocked by Lana’s words, and his lower body almost went soft.

There was no difference between killing his master and killing his father. At that time, not to mention the world, even Princess Changning, would not let him go.

He was fascinated with beauty, but he was not completely confused.

“If this concubine can become the Empress, I’ll immediately help His Majesty choose a concubine from the entire country. We sisters will personally train you. By then, the entire harem will be a place for you to enjoy yourself.” Lana tried to tempt him again.

She had already grasped Cheng’an’s weakness.

“This…” Cheng’an was indeed a little moved.

The few beauties had indeed given him a Nirvana of enjoyment. The beauties that Lana had trained would definitely not be bad. Just the thought of it made Cheng’an feel tempted.

However, he still didn’t dare to kill Tutor Liu.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. When I was in the Western regions, I obtained a colorless and tasteless medicine. As long as it’s taken, even the coroner won’t be able to find the cause of death. Grand Tutor Liu is so old, and it’s normal for him to die of old age.” Lana’s demonic murmurs continued to assault Cheng’an’s defensive line.

“Alright, let my Beloved Consort handle this matter. Make sure it’s clean and neat. We can’t be found to be related to anything!” In the end, Cheng’an couldn’t resist the temptation and was completely immersed in her beauty.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I’ll make you the tiger bone soup, and I guarantee you’ll be in a great mood tonight.” Lana put on a thin veil before turning around and leaving the Governing Hall.

After she ordered the kitchen to prepare the tiger bone soup, she did not return to the Governing Hall but returned to her own sleeping quarters.

The two of them appeared in the palace. They were dressed like palace maids, but they were actually people Lana had arranged.

It was for convenience.

“What’s going on on Changning’s side?” Lana asked.

“Reporting to Master, Noble Consort Qin went to make a scene again today. The Eldest Princess was a little impatient and reached out to give Noble Consort Qin two slaps.” The palace maid respectfully replied.

“And then? What was Noble Consort Qin’s reaction?” Lana was an expert in conspiracies, so of course, she wouldn’t believe them so easily.

What if Princess Changning and Noble Consort Qin were acting?

“Then, Noble Consort Qin hung herself with a three-foot white silk banner. However, she was saved by the palace maid who delivered the meal. Now, she’s making a fuss about leaving the palace!” The palace maid continued to answer.

Lana immediately broke out into a smile. This Noble Consort Qin was seeking her own death. Now, she could only rely on Princess Changning, yet she still had to make her unhappy every two or three days.

That way, she would have one less threat.

Whether it was Noble Consort Qin or Fang Liuqing, she would find an opportunity to get rid of them, including Princess Changning.

As long as all the obstacles were removed, it would the day she would become the Empress.

“Find an opportunity to kill Grand Tutor Liu with poison. Be quick, and don’t make any mistakes!” Lana still had a chance to make a move on Noble Consort Qin and Fang Liuqing.

Moreover, the two of them had moved next door to Princess Changning. With the protection of a saint cultivator, it would be difficult to find an opportunity.

It was better to ascend to the position of Empress first.

One of the palace maids received the order and left.

“The Xiongnu people have sent news, asking Master to depose the Emperor as soon as possible!” The rest of the palace maids delivered the order.

“Tell them, Cheng’an is still in consciousness. I will try my best to deal with him as soon as possible!” Lana wouldn’t let anything happen to Cheng’an before she had complete control over the Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise, she would not have the chance to become the Empress.

For now, it was better to stall for time. When everything was ready, she would lead her troops to destroy the Xiongnu Tribe!
