...
"I, Zhao Wujiang, have always respected the prince and thought of the prince, so I said this and thought it was inappropriate." Zhao Wujiang said lightly:
"And what you are doing is disrespectful to the prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, the kneeling ministers retorted with sarcasm.
"Zhao Wujiang, don't talk nonsense! Our feelings for the prince can be learned from heaven and earth!"
"Hmph, you keep saying you think it's inappropriate, is this showing respect?"
"I think you are just messing around. Do you think this court matter is child's play?"
"Clown, I think you just want to attract our attention..."
"..."
"The prince's name is Xiaoyao, and the word "xiaoyao" means freedom. The prince clearly knows ancient history, understands current affairs, and is generous, benevolent, and considerate of the people. Why have you been traveling around the mountains and rivers and ignoring the government's affairs all these years?" Zhao Wujiang glanced at the kneeling courtiers and said with a smile. :
"Because the prince has a happy heart and longs to travel around the world...
And you, if you want to forcefully recommend the prince to join the court, wouldn't it violate the prince's original intention of being free?
Tell me, who is thinking about the prince?
Is it your compulsion or is it my own doing? "
The ministers were speechless as they knelt down. When Zhao Wujiang spoke, it sounded like he was really considering the prince's thoughts.
But many of them understood that the prince was actually ambitious.
However, the prince had a good reputation and was known as "Xiaoyao". They could not refute Zhao Wujiang's words at all.
Zhongshu Ling Liu Zhe had a smile in his eyes, folded his hands in his sleeves, and looked at Zhao Wujiang with admiration.
Zhao Wujiang's sharp words and his rhetorical battles with the scholars made him sigh in his heart that if Zhao Wujiang had been born decades earlier, he would have been the prime minister.
Dugu Yihe laughed heartily, patted the shoulder of Honglu Temple Minister beside him, looked at Zhao Wujiang and nodded frequently.
The empress breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry knelt on the ground, his old eyes trembling as he looked at the floor. His thoughts turned tactfully, and he shook his head slightly and made eye contact with his colleagues beside him, thinking about how to defeat Zhao Wujiang with his sharp words.
Zhao Wujiang's momentum must not be allowed to gain the upper hand.
Now some ministers are sighing, thinking that they made a mistake in recommending King Xiaoyao to the court.
The Minister of Industry secretly scolded the idiots. These courtiers were impressed by the prince's courage and character, and they were the most pedantic. Unlike him and several colleagues, who were either forced or induced and had no way out, they could naturally clearly understand where they stood. On which side.
And Zhao Wujiang's eyes were deep, and his heart was like a dense spider web, criss-crossed and intricate, and every spider thread was a countermeasure.
With this... Minister of the Ministry of Industry had a plan in his mind, and he suddenly felt very comfortable. He quickly communicated with his colleagues, decided to make a dangerous move, and spoke again:
"Recently there are rumors in the world that the Qianlong Sect of the Jianghu sect is behind the scenes by the prince, and there is a person behind the scenes called the Faceless Man. This person has unparalleled martial arts skills and has practiced some martial arts that are not tolerated by everyone in the world...
This matter has become a hot topic and has spread throughout Kyoto. I think all of my colleagues must have heard about it. "
The empress narrowed her eyes slightly, she did not expect Yan Anshen to take the initiative to mention this matter.
Liu Zhe's eyes trembled, and he had already roughly guessed how the Minister of Industry would deal with it next. He could just change the conflict and change the concept.
Just listen to the Minister of Industry and Industry continue to say:
"But there is no evidence for this matter. Based on the one-sided words of people in the world, everyone here is a smart person in the court, so naturally they will not believe this matter.
The people in the world and the people in our temple have always been hostile and have no harmonious relationship. Why do they want to frame the prince? Is it still arranged in a decent way?
They must have been afraid of the prince, so they made major changes based on the circumstances.
What kind of wind are you catching? What shadow to catch?
The old minister has reason to believe that the prince must have seen Daxia's weakness in recent years, and in order to prevent the chaos of the rivers and lakes from endangering the court, he established gangs in the rivers and lakes to suppress and deter these gangsters!
Therefore, the prince became a threat in the eyes of many people in the world, so they made plans to trap him!
But we can also feel the prince's constant concern and protection for the situation of the Xia Dynasty through this incident.
This is the prince's original intention. When the times are prosperous and peaceful, he is free and at ease. When he has been weak for a long time, he is willing to give up himself and contribute his strength to Daxia's plans!
In this case, we should allow the prince to re-enter the court situation. With his ability, he will definitely be able to assist the emperor and lead us to the prosperity of Great Xia! "
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was salivating, his face full of excitement, and the ministers who were kneeling on the ground were shaken and their eyes filled with tears.
"As expected of King Xiaoyao, no matter where he is in the temple or in the world, he always considers Daxia!"
"Daxia has a prince and an emperor, so why worry about not being able to stand proudly among all the nations!"
"I sincerely ask your Majesty to agree to Your Majesty's entry into the court!"
"Your Majesty's heart can be seen in heaven and earth. It is as clear as a flower. We must not live up to this heart..."
"Sacrificing one's ego to become a big one. These people in the world are the most abominable. They are obviously afraid of the prince and are trying their best to frame him. Don't listen to their slander!"
"..."
Seeing the kneeling courtiers speaking like chicken blood, Zhao Wujiang's lips raised an inexplicable smile.
Many ministers consider themselves smart, and smart people believe in the methods they have deduced the most. They are even more convinced by the dangerous tactics they come up with when they don't know how to deal with them.
As for Zhao Wujiang, he had been waiting for them to take the initiative to mention it.
