Li Xu's words are extremely bold!
dead? Can people in the royal ancestral hall be called dead?
In the past, Li Xu's words alone could have punished him.
However, things are different now. The power of the Taolin Party is so great that even Emperor Liang had to put a ban on it, so he could only pretend not to hear.
Tian Yuanshou was speechless by Li Xu, his face turned red and white, and he tried to accuse Li Xu of being disrespectful several times.
But when he felt the eager eyes of the Taolin Party ministers beside Li Xu and the dissuasion from the Imperial Party officials around him, he had no choice but to give up.
"Sir Li, as a national master, I am in charge of the religious and legal affairs of the ancestral hall. Everything is done to protect Daliang, the country, the country, and the people."
"I naturally have the power to make suggestions on government affairs."
The Minister of Taichang Temple immediately snorted: "Master Tian can naturally make suggestions. You have already made them and have not adopted them. What else do you have to say?"
Tian Yuanshou's face darkened: "Don't accept it? The saint hasn't spoken yet, so it's too early for you to say it!"
After hearing this, the Minister of Taichang Temple did not hesitate and saluted directly to Emperor Liang: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Liang felt forced by his ministers for the first time since he ascended the throne. Although he couldn't adapt, he could only force himself to adapt.
Three of them, namely, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the officials of the Liubu Hall, were the backbone of the Taolin Party.
Behind him are the ministers of Taichang Temple, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, and the commander-in-chief of the Dragon and Tiger Army.
Further on, there are the Marquis of Yong'an and Duke Ning...
Behind them are Qin Feng and the soldiers and horses of the entire northern border.
Military, finance, official appointment, politics, ethics, titles, and even popular reputation... are all in the hands of the Taolin Party.
These ministers and generals had already become one, and Emperor Liang could not attack anyone.
Emperor Liang slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and compromised: "Master Tian is interested, but it will take more than half a year to recommend the Taiwei and Taibao. It is really too long."
Of course Tian Yuanshou knew that Emperor Liang had to choose to compromise under pressure.
Now Emperor Liang was unable to directly reject the Taolin Party's remonstrance, at least lacking a reasonable reason.
Tian Yuanshou quickly winked at Ma Mo behind him.
Ma Mo understood, stepped forward, and saluted with clasped fists: "Your Majesty, I think that the position of Taiwei and Taibao does not mean that it cannot be canonized."
"But it must not fall on the Taolin Party."
"Today, the power of the Taolin Party is overwhelming. If there are more blessings from the Taiwei and Taibao, wouldn't it mean that no one in the entire court can check and balance them?"
"If the Taolin Party strives for any position among the Taiwei and Taibao, they must exchange it for the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon and Tiger Army!"
Ma Mo has shown no mercy, directly cut his face, put aside the gorgeous disguise of the so-called "Jiangshan Sheji", and completely turned the appointment of positions into a struggle for power.
Since the Imperial Party no longer cares about face, the Taolin Party is naturally no ambiguity either.
Zhao Li yelled loudly: "You want to depose this general from his military power? You are really ambitious!"
"This general only gives you four words, wishful thinking!"
Qin Tianhu's eyes were firm. The military power in Zhao Li's hands was not much less valuable than the position of Taiwei and Taibao.
Although the soldiers in Qin Feng's hands were elite, they were too few in number.
The trump card that really made Emperor Liang fearful was Zhao Li's Dragon and Tiger Army.
As the elite garrison in Gyeonggi Province, its scale is so large. Once a fight breaks out, relying on the number of the Dragon and Tiger Army, it can force Emperor Liang to never achieve the strategic intention of 'quick strangulation', and can respond to the troops in the northern border. Create opportunities.
Once the protection of the Dragon and Tiger Army is lost, Qin Feng's small number of troops deployed in Kyoto will most likely be surrounded by the Gyeonggi garrison and quickly bulldozed.
With the overwhelming numerical advantage of the Gyeonggi garrison, even if three were exchanged for one, Qin Feng would not be able to bear it.
Besides...
War is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
One-on-one, the winning rate is half and half, two against one, the winning rate can reach 70%, five against three, the winning rate may reach 90%, once an absolute advantage of ten against five is formed, the attacking side may not even lose a single pawn. Destroy the opponent completely.
Two fists are no match for four feet. This cliché applies no matter where you put it.
Qin Tianhu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Wu Mian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, immediately stepped forward and shouted.
"General Ma, do you want to depose General Zhao from military power? Who gave you the power!"
"Zhao Li's position as the commander-in-chief of the Dragon and Tiger Army was conferred by the late emperor. General Zhao has made countless contributions on the front line. Unless General Zhao is suspected of rebellion, no one can shake General Zhao in the slightest!"
"General Ma, as the general of Dongying, you should avoid suspicion in political affairs, but you are interfering in the government affairs again and again in the court."
"You hold military power in your hands and covet political power. Do you want the military and political power to seize you? I think you are the one who has the intention to rebel!"
Ma Mo's face turned pale. Wu Mian's words hit home!
As a general, with military power in his hands, he could no longer interfere in the affairs of the court. Ma Mo could obey orders, but he could never stand out in the court.
If the civil servants and officials of the Imperial Party were not too weak to compete with the Taolin Party, how would Ma Mo have taken the risk of being charged with rebellion and come forward?
Seeing that Ma Mo was guilty, Wu Mian took advantage of the victory and pursued him. He pointed his sword at Ma Mo and shouted: "General Ma, if you dare to interfere in political affairs again, I will impeach you immediately!"
"I would like to see whose military power is deposed first!"
Ma Mo said nothing and quickly retreated. The military power in his hands must not be lost, otherwise the imperial party's strength in Kyoto would only suffer a fatal blow.
and……
Once they are found guilty of interfering in government affairs, the Taolin Party will definitely make a fuss and force Ma Mo to hand over military power.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ma Mo to submit. In this case, Qin Feng, the demon king hiding behind Taolin Dang, would definitely dare to directly lead his troops to attack the Dongying garrison.
As for Xiying, they can't rush to help. After all... the Taolin Party is counterinsurgency and has a reputation for being a master. If Xiying forces a rescue, wouldn't it mean that it is aiding the evil and turning it into a rebel party?
How can you say that the imperialist party started its own rebellion?
Emperor Liang, who had witnessed the entire incident, no longer had any illusions. The imperial party's strength in the court was simply unable to compete with the Taolin party.
If Li Yong and Taifu also join this party struggle, they may still have a chance of winning.
It's a pity that Li Yong and Taifu hid too quickly and refused to get involved life or death.
Just when Emperor Liang was about to give up, a low drink sounded that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I believe that the appointment of Taiwei and Taibao must be based on merit, rather than who can be appointed arbitrarily based on who is more powerful and has a higher official position!"
"If so, is this Daliang's surname Li or Qin?!"
Emperor Liang looked at the middle-aged man in the crowd, his eyes lit up, Qingliu Zhengchen was finally over!
