After hearing Wang Wan's words, the courtiers were all in high spirits.
They suddenly felt that what Wang Wan said was very likely and might actually succeed.
The most critical point is that now that the world is peaceful, Your Majesty no longer needs Huaiguzi.
And Huaiguzi's contribution is too great, His Majesty will definitely not be relieved.
If everyone works together at this time, we can impeach Huai Guzi together.
Your Majesty will definitely be delighted, scold Huaiguzi harshly, and even use the topic as an excuse to kill him.
It doesn't matter whether Huai Guzi is really guilty.
The important thing is that His Majesty feels that he is guilty.
However, although His Majesty may have the idea of executing Huaiguzi, he will definitely not actually execute him.
Because His Majesty needs sophora millet to refine the elixir of immortality.
At this time, everyone just pretended to plead for Huaiguzi and pretend to be good people. Just leave him alive and just keep refining the elixir in the alchemy room.
In this way, Huaiguzi's authority is gone, and everyone has achieved a good reputation of forgetting the past and repaying evil with kindness.
Perfect, perfect.
As a result, the courtiers all looked at the political hall with confidence and couldn't wait to go in to slander.
Li Si glanced at Wang Wan with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
Wang Wan smiled at him, and this smile was somewhat meaningful.
Li Si understood instantly that Wang Wan did not really want to bring down Huaiguzi.
Now the person directly threatening Wang Wan in the court was not Huaiguzi but Feng Quli.
Feng Quli's status as a censor doctor was like a sword hanging over Wang Wan's head.
So, Wang Wan instigating the courtiers to impeach Huaiguzi... was actually causing Feng Quli to have an illusion?
Let his self-confidence inflate, and then have a life-and-death fight with Huaiguzi?
In that way, whether Feng Quli wins or Huaiguzi wins, Wang Wan can reap the benefits.
When Li Si thought of this, he glanced at Wang Wan with admiration: He is indeed the prime minister, he is indeed wily and resourceful.
At this time, Feng Quli came from afar.
The courtiers gathered around and said warmly: "Master Yushi, how are you doing recently?"
Feng Quili smiled and said, "Not bad."
The courtiers then said: "If we can clear out the traitors on this day, we, the Qin Dynasty, will be able to clear the clouds and see the blue sky."
Feng Quili smiled slightly and said, "Of course."
At this time, he also saw that these courtiers wanted to get closer to him.
Feng Quili was not surprised. After all, he believed that his poem on Innocence was a rare and good article that shocked the past and the present.
After reading this article, the courtiers probably understood their own feelings.
At this time, I choose to stand on my own side and find a way to bring down Huaiguzi. Isn't this the right thing to do?
Then, Feng Quli thought again, Huaiguzi has been entrenched in the court for a long time and is harmful to one side. If this harm can be eliminated this time, wouldn't his prestige in the court be at its peak?
By that time, can I take advantage of the opportunity to kill Wang Wan and become an extremely popular minister?
Feng Quili suddenly realized that he and Huaiguzi had made the right move.
When Feng Quli and Li Shui fought before, it was just a matter of chasing a duck, and he had no choice but to do so step by step.
But now he suddenly realized that it was a blessing in disguise. If you don't take this risk, how can you be a great minister?
And he also discovered that this risk was the right one. Isn’t the current result pretty good?
When Feng Quili was thinking about his bright future, Li Shui and Li Xin came from afar.
Li Shui and Li Xin walked at the front, still walking with their trademark arrogant steps.
Following behind were a group of sycophants such as Zhou Qingchen.
When the courtiers saw Li Shui, they all greeted him with smiles.
When they greeted Li Shui, they didn't really want to make friends with him. But I feel... Li Shui will probably be kicked out soon.
Everyone should be kind to those who are leaving...
Li Shui said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, I find that all the adults are much more enthusiastic towards me today."
Li Xin hummed: "It shows that Brother Huai's character has finally been recognized by everyone."
Li Shui nodded and said happily: "That seems to be the case. Maybe I should write a character poem recently."
courtier:"……"
This shameless person has once again refreshed everyone’s awareness and is offline.
Some courtiers asked maliciously: "Exiled Immortal, what do you think of the Imperial Censor's Innocence Gift?"
Banished Immortal nodded and said: "The literary talent is outstanding, very good."
Li Xin added next to him: "It's indeed good. We are discussing whether we can nominate the Censor for this year's Immortal Literature Award."
courtier:"……"
Okay, you two win.
At this time, Chunyu Yue came over, coughed dryly, and said to Li Shui and Li Xin, "Come here."
The two men looked at each other and then walked over.
Chunyu Yue whispered: "Are you two pretending not to know, or are you pretending to be calm?"
Li Shui asked in confusion: "What?"
Chunyu Yue said: "The courtiers have united with Feng Quli and are preparing to impeach you. Aren't you panicked at all?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "Why panic? Hasn't this kind of thing happened many times?"
Chunyu Yue shook his head: "This time is different. This time is very different. The courtiers couldn't bring you down before, of course because you were shameless..."
Li Shui: "..."
Chunyu Yue paused awkwardly and then changed his words: "Of course it's because you are eloquent. But the most important thing is that His Majesty values you and believes in you. That's why your eloquence can work. But now and before It’s different.”
Li Shui said, "Really?"
Chunyu Yue said: "Now that we have discovered all the places that we have discovered, they all belong to us, Great Qin. Most of these places were conquered by you, and your prestige in the army is at its peak. Can Your Majesty rest assured?"
"A cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by a lackey, while a flying bird hides its good bow. Don't you understand this truth? There is no threat outside, but you two have won the respect of the soldiers. Can Your Majesty rest assured?"
"This time, no matter whether you can defeat Feng Quli or not, His Majesty will not let you win."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin: "Is that so?"
Li Xin coughed dryly: "That's not true, is it? Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages, and he carries the arrogance of the emperor of the ages. He will not kill the heroes."
Li Shui nodded in agreement.
Chunyu Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "What you two said makes sense. But... it may not be wrong to plan for a rainy day."
Li Shui asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, do you have any good ideas?"
Chunyu Yue said: "I have been thinking about it day and night, but I have come up with a way for you. Don't you two have a gold medal to avoid death?"
"The most important thing now is to retreat bravely. When you get to the court, admit your mistake first and find an excuse that is not too big or too small."
"For example, a slave at home accidentally beats someone to death, or a family member accepts money and then says something that deserves death. Then he takes out the death-free gold medal, offers it with both hands, and shamelessly begs for mercy from His Majesty."
"If this happens, Your Majesty will definitely be very happy and will definitely let you become a rich man."
Chunyu Yue persuaded with sincerity: "You have already achieved success and fame at a young age, and then you can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, die a good death, and leave a mark in the history books. It is not bad."
Li Shui and Li Xin said, "Let's think about it."
Chunyu Yue sighed and said, "Being young and vigorous is the most important thing."
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, we understand."
At this time, a young eunuch came over and said, "All officials have entered the palace."
The door opened and the courtiers walked in slowly.
At this time, Li Shui and Li Xin were walking behind.
Li Xin whispered: "Brother Huai, you don't really want to retire and return home, do you?"
Li Shui said: "That's nonsense, I won't leave. Brother Li, what about you?"
Li Xin chuckled: "I'm not leaving either."
Li Xin said: "However, my sister-in-law's worries are indeed a problem. How do you solve it?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said, "This is actually my brother-in-law's over-worry. The army is firmly in your Majesty's hands. Although the two of us have a growing reputation, the army is under your Majesty's orders. Why should your Majesty be afraid of us?"
Li Xin said: "Are you talking about the scholars placed among the soldiers?"
Li Shui hummed: "These scholars control the thoughts of the soldiers. And these scholars, level by level, directly obey your Majesty's orders."
"With them, Your Majesty can absolutely control the army. As long as you control the army, Your Majesty will not have to worry about any great achievements."
"The two of us are very prestigious now, but if we raise our arms and really rebel, the soldiers will definitely not obey orders. They respect us, not only for our force, but also for our loyalty."
Li Xin nodded: "It makes sense. No wonder the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the most popular among the army."
Soon, everyone had arrived at the political hall and sat down in order.
However, everyone waited for a long time and never saw His Majesty.
Wang Wan asked the young eunuch with some confusion: "Where is your Majesty?"
The little eunuch was also a little stunned.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Perhaps... we will be here soon. Sirs, please be patient."
…………
In Ying Zheng's dormitory, he was looking at Fu Yao helplessly.
Fu Yao stopped at the door and said with a pleading look on his face: "Father, do you really want to do something to my master?"
Ying Zheng said: "Where did you hear this?"
Fu Yao said: "This is what I suddenly figured out. Now that master has helped my father to pacify the world, should my father kill him?"
Ying Zheng's eyes shrank and he said coldly: "Who taught you these words? Is it Huaiguzi?"
Fu Yao shook his head: "No, it's because I was reading history books recently. I saw Gou Jian and Wen Zhong. Since ancient times, where heroes have great talents and strategies, they can always share adversity but not wealth. The world is more important than friendship."
Ying Zheng stared at Fu Yao for a while, and he suddenly smiled: "If you can think of this, I feel relieved to leave this world to you and become an immortal."
Fu Yao: "..."
Ying Zheng continued to say to Fu Yao: "However, you only thought about the first level and did not think about the second level."
"A strong monarch must indeed put the world first and friendship first. But such a monarch is not just a traitor. In my opinion, he is just a clown."
"A truly wise monarch is one who makes clear rewards and punishments, appoints people on their merits and does not avoid relatives."
"Ordinary people know the value of friendship, but do they have to be cold-blooded and ruthless to become an emperor?"
Fu Yao was a little sluggish.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Do you think that the emperor who places too much emphasis on friendship may be too benevolent and weak and easily manipulated by others?"
Fu Yao nodded.
Ying Zheng said: "This is the second level I want to talk about. A truly wise king can control the world. He can have friendship, but he will not be dragged down by friendship."
"Such an emperor has such self-confidence. He knows that the people he trusts are loyal people, and he knows that the people he trusts will not lie to him."
Fu Yao said: "So, my father is such an emperor?"
Ying Zheng said calmly: "What? Do you think I am not?"
Fu Yao added: "So... my father thinks that although the master is very talented and as resourceful as Sun Wukong, he will not be able to escape from the palm of my father's hand?"
Ying Zheng smiled and did not answer the question. He just said lightly: "I am going to court. If you dare to stop me at this time in the future, you will be punished."
Ying Zheng left.
Fu Yao stood in Ying Zheng's palace sluggishly, and said with some confusion: "It's strange, why does my father have such confidence?"
At this time, eunuch Xiaoyi came over.
He coughed dryly and said cautiously: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Fu Yao glanced at him and hummed lightly.
Xiao Yi said: "I see that His Highness is frowning. I wonder if there is something on your mind? Maybe I can help His Highness clear up his doubts."
Fu Yao looked at him in confusion: "You?"
Xiao Yi laughed dryly: "I heard the conversation between the Crown Prince and His Majesty just now. I often go in and out of Shangjun's villa, so I have some understanding of it."
Fu Yao knew that Xiao Yi was from Li Shui, so he nodded and said, "Come and listen."
Xiao Yi whispered: "Actually, the military power has always been in your Majesty's hands. If your Majesty controls the army, you don't have to worry about anything."
Fu Yao suddenly realized: "I remembered, this is what Master often said, whoever masters the sword and gun has the right to speak."
Xiao Yi added: "Your Majesty can completely control the army. One is His Majesty's prestige. The other is the scholar system."
Fu Yao said: "This scholar system is the master's suggestion. Place scholars in the army, and the rank of the scholars will be equivalent to that of the generals who lead the troops."
"And these scholars are all responsible to the emperor. In this way..."
Fu Yao suddenly realized: "Did master think of this at that time? He built the world's army into an army that is completely loyal to his father."
"In this way, my father will naturally feel relieved about him, and he will naturally have the confidence to control the entire world."
Fu Yao suddenly realized that his master was really powerful, much more powerful than he imagined.
