The temperature in the private room instantly dropped to its lowest point.
There were ice cubes to cool down.
However, at this time, both Xiao Yi and Li Linfu had cold eyes.
One is Da Qian, the powerful prime minister who now covers the sky with his hands in the court, and the other is the prince who has just gained the power to supervise the country.
The two soon became tit for tat, and there seemed to be no room for relaxation.
Xiao Yi's eyes were cold, without any emotion at all, and his voice was also cold, like an arrow of ice, cold and hurtful.
"What if I say no?"
Li Linfu said in a calm tone but with murderous intent: "Since His Highness insists on going his own way and continues to kill innocent people indiscriminately, the humble ministers can only remonstrate with him. However, His Highness's quick knives to cut through the mess these days have already offended the public, and the ministers are panicked, so why continue to comfort them?" How can the common people and disaster relief Shaanxi roads govern the place and revive the great cadres?"
"Some ministers have already found Wei Chen and asked him to come forward to persuade His Highness."
"Your Highness is unwilling to listen to the humble ministers' heartfelt words. However, the civil and military ministers cannot sit back and watch His Highness act indiscriminately, and the common people in the world cannot allow His Highness to act indiscriminately. They will go to Ganlu Palace to petition Your Majesty to take back the Crown Prince's power to supervise the country and choose a virtuous one. The prince oversees the affairs of the country."
At the beginning, Li Linfu planned to have a calm talk with Xiao Yi, not to talk about forcing the palace, but at the very least, to let Xiao Yi supervise the country within the original rules.
He might as well continue to control the court.
As his prince, Xiao Yi only needs to have the same enjoyment as his previous Majesty every day.
And he continued to be his prime minister, leading hundreds of officials to assist the prince in governing the world.
However, when he really faced the prince who no longer hid his clumsiness, Li Linfu felt that the prince would not give up the power of supervising the country and become a hedonistic prince.
In this case, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so he can only force the palace immediately to prevent him from losing more men later, so that he will not be able to completely control the court, and may actually be destroyed by Xiao Yi.
Although Li Linfu is alone, he has the confidence to stand here and force the palace.
If only he could obey Xiao Yi.
In other words, he doesn't care at all whether Xiao Yi will obey, because even if Xiao Yi relents now, maybe he leaves the East Palace, and the two of them will still be in conflict.
Li Linfu no longer cares about Xiao Yi's attitude.
What he wants is to force him into a palace.
Take back the power to supervise the country.
Xiao Yi looked at Li Linfu, who had white hair on his temples and bowed slightly. He also knew in his heart that after five years as prime minister, especially in the last year or so when Emperor Daqian gradually became seriously ill, Li Linfu would definitely have many opportunities to control the Gyeonggi region. military power.
No matter how great the power of the prime minister is, it is only the power of the prime minister.
If he wanted to push Xiao Ce to the throne above the five vassal princes, the border guard princes, and several ambitious eunuchs, he would continue to control the court under Da Gan alone.
Then we must control military power.
With military power, his power will be more stable.
The reason why Li Linfu came here alone and forced the palace with just a few words should be that he held the greatest military power in Gyeonggi Road.
The military power of the Palace Front Division is in the hands of Lu Ming, and it is possible that some of them will be Li Linfu's people.
As for the three yamen of the bodyguard and army, they should be in the hands of Li Linfu.
Then there are the Imperial Guards on Gyeonggi Road.
The person who controls the so-called 800,000 forbidden troops is Gao Song, the Taiwei of Daqian Dynasty. This person... must also be one of Li Linfu's people.
However, Xiao Yi is not afraid.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. No matter how Li Linfu covers the sky with one hand, he is still the prime minister of Daqian, not the prince of Daqian.
If he is timid now, the momentum he has developed in the past few days will be in vain.
Xiao Yi stared at Li Linfu and said leisurely: "My father personally gave me the power to supervise the country. How can you take it back just as you say?"
"Does the Prime Minister want to rebel?"
"You said that Gu is cruel and murderous. Let me ask you."
"Zhang Hong is a mere imperial doctor who has witnessed with his own eyes that the emperor personally granted him the power to supervise the country, but he still dares to speak wildly, saying that the emperor is seriously ill and delirious, and that the power to supervise the country personally is not true."
"At that time, Duke Jiuling, you, and Commander Lu were all present and witnessed it with their own eyes."
"With such a major matter related to national affairs, what qualifications does he, an imperial physician, have to stand up and bully the superiors, make false accusations against the father and the crown prince, and make false accusations against the crown prince?"
"His thoughts are vicious. He wants to prevent his father from granting him the power to supervise the country. He wants to cause turmoil in the Daqian court, cause a fight for the right to inherit the throne, and make the internal troubles in Daqian more serious."
"Such a person shouldn't be killed?"
Li Linfu frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Yang Shenxun, the governor of the palace, Yuhou, broke into the East Palace at night when Gu was going to Ganlu Palace. After seeing Gu, he barked and insulted the prince of the Grand Supervisor State with words. Such a madman who has no regard for the king's law should be punished. Should I kill?"
When Li Linfu wanted to speak, Xiao Yi's tone became heavier and his voice became louder.
"As for Wang Hao, the Minister of Household Affairs, he is a third-rank minister in the court, so he should do his best to assist the prince in charge of the country."
"But he did not obey orders. Not only that, when Shaanxi Road was hit by drought, he enriched his own pockets and corrupted the law. As a minister, he embezzled more than 10 million yuan in money."
"More than 10 million yuan, how much people's taxes, how much people's support. How many people can support the victims of the Shaanxi Road disaster?"
"Should such a corrupt official deserve to be killed?"
The rhetorical questions and stern shouts were like the sound of thunder, leaving Li Linfu speechless.
Because of these people, His Highness the Crown Prince killed them unjustly.
However, none of the ministers in the court were clean, and His Highness the Crown Prince was so hateful and evil, so they became even more panicked and frightened.
However, what I didn't expect was that even though I had taken the first step to force him into the palace, the prince would counterattack him to such an extent.
The more Xiao Yi acted like this, the more Li Linfu felt afraid.
A slight chill went straight to my heart.
Now that His Majesty has given His Majesty the power to supervise the country, His Majesty has gained the throne. If he does not have a good excuse to take back the power of supervising the country, it will be forced into the palace.
If word spreads, I'm afraid it will also give the five vassal kings, the border guard princes, and a few prefects an excuse to lead troops to serve the king.
By then, he would have to face the eighteen vassal kings and princes coming to Beijing to serve as kings.
With the little defense of the capital, it is impossible to defeat or stop it, and the result can be imagined.
But one step forward is death, and one step back may also be death.
In order to avoid death, Li Linfu could only cut through the mess quickly and planned to use any means necessary.
"The imperial doctor's arrogant words had a reason, and he meant to remonstrate directly. His Highness did not listen and directly killed him."
"Wang Haonai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was a third-rank official in the current dynasty. Over the years, he has worked hard to improve governance, performed disaster relief on Shaanxi Road, and collected taxes for the country. He has worked hard even without merit."
"His Highness had a disagreement, so he directly killed the third rank of the current dynasty. There was no impeachment by the Yushitai, no investigation by the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials, and no conviction by the Ministry of Punishment."
"This is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people!"
"Your Highness no longer needs to quibble. Today, if Your Highness does not give up the power to supervise the country, I am afraid that the humble ministers will no longer be able to suppress the ministers and suppress the imperial guards who are cruel and murderous to Your Highness in the capital."
This is a clear threat.
Xiao Yi felt cruel and threw the tea cup on the table.
Yes, breaking the cup is the number.
The last resort was to kill Li Linfu.
However, once this is done, the capital will be transformed.
Those people raised by Li Linfu will definitely be in danger of themselves, and then swarm them regardless.
Especially the Taiwei Gao Song, who holds the power of the imperial army, is difficult to deal with.
This is also the situation Xiao Yi least wants to face.
However, Li Linfu had begun to force the palace, and he had to do so.
"call……."
Lu Chong, who was guarding outside, led the two of them in directly.
When Li Linfu saw this, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly boiled like a dark cloud.
How dare he do this? !
