Faced with the sudden forced palace, Emperor Liang was naturally caught off guard.
But fortunately, he has controlled the government for decades and will never cause chaos so easily.
As long as Zhao Li is still a prince, he will definitely support Emperor Liang.
The reason is simple. Once Emperor Liang abdicates, it will inevitably mean the end of the Northern Expedition. By then, the Zhao family will definitely be liquidated.
Zhao Yulong of the Northern Territory truly betrayed the Northern Territory.
Even if Qin Feng would let him go, those ferocious ligers in the north would never forgive Zhao Yulong easily.
Emperor Liang knew that Zhao Li did not want to be an enemy of the Qin family, but he was deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself. Emperor Liang caught Zhao Li's mentality.
Faced with the pressure from the officials, Emperor Liang remained silent and just sat on the throne, waiting for Zhao Li to act as his shield.
The facts proved that Emperor Liang's guess was correct, as Zhao Li stepped forward and interrupted the sound at the scene.
"Ministers, if you are so eager to ask His Majesty to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, you are nothing more than a desperate hope that the war will stop."
"But have you ever thought about it? What will happen after my army retreats?"
"Is it true that Daliang will usher in the peace you imagine? I don't think so."
"Now everyone knows that the frontline troops have entered the Northern Territory, and many people in the Northern Territory have been killed. With the style of the Northern Territory, how can they just give up?"
"Taking a step back, even if Your Majesty really gives way, who can replace Your Majesty?"
"Is it Li Yong?"
Zhao Li, as the former commander-in-chief of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and today's Taiwei, naturally knew the secrets in Kyoto very well.
Li Yong has been under house arrest so far, and his only value is to replace Emperor Liang. But the problem is that Li Yong is too similar to Emperor Liang.
Chen Zheng's goal was to support Li Yong and replace Emperor Liang.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zheng immediately asked, "What's wrong with the Seventh Prince?"
Zhao Li shook his head and said with firm eyes: "If it were a prosperous age, there would be nothing wrong with the seventh prince inheriting the throne."
"But now that the country of Liang is weak and has enmity with the Northern Territory, the seventh prince is the most inappropriate candidate."
"Because based on my understanding of Qin Feng, Qin Feng will never allow the seventh prince to inherit the throne."
This conclusion was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Emperor Liang was caught off guard.
Isn't it that Li Yong has been under house arrest for so long just to inherit the throne in the near future? If the person who succeeded the throne was not Li Yong, who could it be?
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Zhao Li had nothing to hide and immediately explained.
"Qin Feng has said more than once that Li Yong is very much like His Majesty, both in terms of personality and the way he does things."
"If the Seventh Prince inherits the throne, wouldn't it be equivalent to ushering in a younger and stronger His Majesty? This will naturally be harmful to the Northern Territory."
"So, Li Yong is just a cover. There is someone else who Qin Feng really hopes to inherit the throne."
As soon as this statement came out, the entire court was in an uproar.
Even Chen Zheng was stunned. Although he was unwilling to talk about these treacherous remarks in the court, he was forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to do so.
Just when he finally accepted Qin Feng's prediction and was about to push Li Yong to the throne, Zhao Li's remarks completely overturned Chen Zheng's cognition.
Did Qin Feng fool everyone?
Emperor Liang was also quite impatient and asked directly: "Liu Taiwei, who is this candidate you are talking about?"
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If nothing else happens, this person is probably... the son of Prince Ming, Li Zhang."
Li Zhang......
The whole court fell into silence.
Everyone showed an expression of disbelief.
Emperor Liang naturally could not accept this result. No matter which prince the throne fell on, he could reluctantly accept it, except Li Zhang. After all, Li Zhang was just a prince.
Even Chen Zheng, who desperately wanted the war to end, firmly opposed Li Zhang's succession to the throne at this moment.
Your Majesty still has so many heirs, no matter who's turn it is, it won't be Li Zhang's turn.
Li Zhang is just the son of a prince. Unless all the princes are dead, if he inherits the throne, wouldn't it be a disorder of seniority and youth?
As an official of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Zheng naturally could not let this happen.
And just when everyone thought that today's forced palace would end without any problem, a voice sounded again in the court.
The voice this time actually came from the mouth of the Minister of Household Affairs.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Minister of Hubu bowed his hands and said: "Although the prince is here, the throne cannot fall on the prince in any case, but for the current plan, if we want to end the war, in addition to the prince succeeding to the throne, we have already There is no choice."
"Because whether His Majesty is on the throne or the Seventh Prince is on the throne, this war will continue to be fought."
"The cavalry in the north has begun to approach Kyoto. It is only a matter of time before they reach Kyoto."
"Although the Southern Expedition has ended, a large number of troops are still needed to garrison to prevent the resurgence of the wealthy families in the south."
"And all the troops that can be mobilized have been sent to fight in the northern border, and they have been trapped on the front line."
"As long as Qin Feng reaches out to Kyoto, it will be a fierce battle to defend Kyoto."
"When we get to that point, even if Qin Feng has no intention of climbing to the top, the survival of the entire Li family will be in Qin Feng's hands."
In fact, what this said is very clear. If we don’t withdraw our troops now, we will have no chance in the future.
When Qin Feng breaks through the gate of Kyoto, who will be the emperor is not a matter of Qin Feng's words?
Since Li Zhang is not qualified to be emperor now, then if he kills all the princes, wouldn't Li Zhang be qualified?
Emperor Liang frowned and said in a deep voice: "It is not easy for Qin Feng to shake our capital!"
Although the northern border has strong troops and horses, it still needs to face frontline battles. The troops that can be sent to the territory are actually very limited, only the 20,000 cavalry.
Even if Daliang's current strength is stretched thin, it is still not difficult to defeat the 20,000 cavalry in the hinterland.
Therefore, in the view of Emperor Liang, the remarks made by the Minister of Hubu were nothing but bluff.
However, the Minister of Household Affairs had already expected that Emperor Liang would say this, and immediately added: "Now there are 20,000 cavalry, what about the future?"
Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows: "What does the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance mean? Why go around in such a roundabout way?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue no longer concealed anything and blurted out: "Those who do not agree with the Northern Expedition are not just in the court, but also in the whole world."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liang couldn't help but take a breath.
The 20,000 cavalrymen may not be heading for Kyoto, but they will recruit troops along the way and start countless uprisings.
And with Qin Feng's prestige, responders must be like mushrooms after a rain.
By then, Kyoto will fall into an extremely passive situation.
