Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Li Yu knelt on the ground, his face more solemn than ever before. He had been in the imperial study room for half an hour. During this period, except for saluting and saying "see your majesty", he never made a sound.
The King of Beidi reviewed the memorials sent from various places and ignored Li Yu's plan.
At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the battle in Qingshan County has subsided, Qin Feng has turned danger into danger, and Lu Zhuguo... has been beheaded."
After hearing this, King Beidi finally put down the memorial and glanced at Li Yu coldly.
"Li Aiqing, are you just going to keep kneeling like this? Don't you want to say something to me?"
Li Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My crime deserves death. Even if Your Majesty directly pushes me out and chops me up, I will have no complaints."
Li Yu knew very well that he was not exempt from the blame for Qin Feng's attack. After all, Ye Xiao was involved and helped Lu Li block the news. Otherwise, Qin Feng's situation would not be so dangerous. Even if Qin Feng turned the danger into safety and did not cause an irreversible disaster, Ye Xiao, as the eyes and ears of the Beidi King, actually colluded with the courtiers without authorization, which was already a taboo.
As the person in charge of Night Owl, except for this matter, Li Yu can be accused of neglecting his duties at the least, or he can be directly accused of bullying and neglecting his superiors.
How this matter ends depends entirely on the attitude of King Beidi.
To kill or not to kill is all at the discretion of King Beidi.
If it were left to the past and the domestic political situation was stable, the King of Beidi would naturally be free to take care of Li Yu. Even if he did not kill him, he should first remove Li Yu from his official position and let him go home and reflect. As for whether to re-enable him in the future, it depends on Whether it is necessary for government affairs.
But now, the country is in a critical moment, and it is even more of a time to employ people, and Li Yu's position is extremely special, and it cannot be filled by just promoting someone.
Moreover, the King of Beidi knew very well that Li Yu's loyalty to him was beyond doubt.
The connection between Ye Xiao and Lu Li was beyond Li Yu's expectation. For Li Yu, even describing it as an "unexpected disaster" is not an exaggeration at all.
The King of Beidi is naturally unwilling to punish Li Yu, but the current problem is very difficult.
Ye Xiao is involved. Even if King Beidi can trust Li Yu, the question is, what does Qin Feng think? If Qin Feng mistakenly believes that the Beidi King is deliberately shielding Li Yu, it will cause even greater trouble.
The King of Beidi was thoughtful and considered it secretly, without rushing to express his position.
As the "spy chief" of Beidi, Li Yu was so smart. He immediately realized that even if the emperor did not express his position, he had already expressed his position, which was to let Li Yu decide how the matter would end.
Li Yu said in a deep voice: "I am grateful for your majesty's favor and trust in me, but this matter is very important. If you are not careful, all the previous efforts may be in vain."
"But even in such a sensitive period, you still can't be complacent. Even if you want to make up for it, you can't be too aggressive. If you play all the cards, how will you deal with Qin Feng again in the future?"
The meaning of Li Yu's words is also very clear.
Qin Feng would naturally be very happy to kill Li Yu. After all, Li Yu was one of Beidi's die-hard imperialists. He not only had the ability, but also the prestige and connections. Li Yu's death was equivalent to pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth, and it would do great harm to the King of Beidi.
It was so easy to get rid of a serious problem. Qin Feng would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
But the problem is that Li Yu's position in this incident is actually large or small.
If he didn't kill Li Yu, Qin Feng wouldn't be able to fault him. Killing Li Yu would just be the icing on the cake for Qin Feng.
Moreover, the person Qin Feng really cares about at the moment is definitely not the "relatively neutral" Li Yu, but Lu Li's party members. As the saying goes, if you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will bring new growth.
Moreover, once Lu Li dies, the remaining members of the Eagle Party will definitely be in danger, and there will inevitably be a series of actions to protect themselves and even defeat the net. At this time, it is obvious that these members can attract Qin Feng's attention even more.
King Beidi nodded, sighed, and said seriously: "Since Qin Feng came to the capital, he has spent a lot of effort to deal with the Eagle Party. Unfortunately, he must be a foreign minister, even in Sangzhou and the northern border of Liang Kingdom. , covering the sky with one hand, but in the hinterland of Dadi, I can only do as I please. As long as I don’t allow it, Qin Feng will have nothing to do.”
"As long as the Eagle Party still exists, it can deal with Qin Feng, and Qin Feng has to be distracted to deal with this difficult opponent."
"It's a pity that God is not as good as man. I never expected that Lu Li would go crazy and take the initiative to give Qin Feng such a big gift."
"Haha, it really goes with the old saying, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."
"Now, even if I don't want to, in order to appease Qin Feng, I have to give up the Eagle Party card."
Li Yu knew very well that his life had been saved, so he was no longer cautious and let go: "Your Majesty, I have two things to report."
"The first is the purge of Night Owl."
Although King Beidi didn't show much on the surface, in his heart, he already hated Ye Xiao.
As the emperor's confidant and spy organization with countless privileges, he actually dared to collude with the court officials privately. This undoubtedly touched the back of King Beidi.
The reason why the Beidi King remained silent was because he was waiting for Li Yu to express his stance.
"Punting the Night Owls? Tell me, how to punish them?"
Li Yu did not answer in a hurry, but asked instead: "Has your Majesty ever heard about Qin Feng's attack on Jin Yiwei?"
King Beidi nodded. He had already heard Ye Xiao mention this matter. Not long ago, Qin Feng killed his most trusted Jin Yiwei and eliminated a large number of key members. Even the Jin Yiwei envoy Mo Li was under Qin Feng's command. Under the order, he voluntarily resigned. Not only that, Qin Feng also arranged for the Tianji Camp guards to supervise the Jin Yiwei. As long as the Jin Yiwei crosses the line in the slightest, the Tianji Camp guards will kill them without hesitation.
At first, King Beidi thought it was incredible.
You know, there are three major espionage organizations in the world, Liang Guohei Weisi, Beixi County Jinyiwei, and Dadi Yexiao.
The strongest one at the beginning was Dadi Ye Xiao, but after a long period of fighting openly and secretly with the Jin Yiwei, Ye Xiao's strength began to decline.
The idiots of Heiweisi assisted Li Yong in forcing the palace, but they were purged and their strength plummeted.
Now, Jinyiwei has become truly the number one spy organization in the world.
Such an extremely capable and extremely loyal spy organization was actually cleaned up by Qin Feng himself. It was tantamount to abandoning martial arts. Is there such a stupid behavior in the world?
But now, the Beidi King suddenly woke up.
