"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following the eunuch singing, Emperor Qing slowly walked out of the back hall.
Seeing the emperor's figure, all the ministers immediately kowtowed.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Emperor Qing sat on the dragon chair, scanning the ministers with his eyes, exuding unparalleled pressure.
"Everyone, get up."
"It's been five days and I haven't gone to court. Ministers, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
First, Jia Siming, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up. He talked about the need for disaster relief in the north.
Immediately afterwards, other ministers also began to report to the emperor one after another, and there were some things happening in various places that urgently needed to be resolved by the court.
It boils down to two words: money!
After listening to what these people said, Emperor Qing showed no expression, but in his heart he had scolded them countless times.
There are many problems mentioned, but no solutions are available.
The national treasury is in short supply now. If it has to be solved by the court, what use are you ministers?
"Laifu, submit all their memorials. I will give you a solution later."
As soon as the memorial fell on the emperor's case, the Minister of War stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"explain."
"In recent days, the female empire has often deployed troops at the border. Although it has not invaded Daqing, its momentum must be guarded against. I hope your majesty will make preparations in advance."
"In addition, the country of Yin in the north harassed our border villages in Daqing, killing and injuring nearly a hundred people, and plundering countless properties."
Hearing this, Emperor Qing became furious.
"The small country of Seal dares to disturb my Daqing. Don't they want to live?"
The Minister of War bowed.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. According to my judgment, it is because there is civil strife in the country of India, so there are no strict restrictions on some troops."
"In addition, this is also related to the Xiongnu Fanjing some days ago."
"Prince Saruman of the Kingdom of Seal has a good relationship with the Huns. This invasion of the country is most likely caused by the Huns, so that he can test Daqing's attitude."
After speaking, Emperor Qing thought for a moment.
"What do you think, ministers, at this time?"
A civil servant saluted and came out.
"Your Majesty, I believe that we should still maintain good relations with the Xiongnu according to our ancestral system and never engage in war with them."
"Otherwise, if the Xiongnu and the Kingdom of India unite, and the female empire is in danger, we in Daqing may not be able to cope with it."
As soon as these words came out, several ministers came forward to second the proposal, hoping that Emperor Qing could make peace with the Huns.
Emperor Qing took a deep breath.
"Let's take a long-term view at this time. Is there anything else?"
This time, after a few seconds of silence, Yang Wenyuan suddenly walked out.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"speak!"
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is related to the plot to assassinate His Majesty. Now the Tingwei Mansion has obtained some evidence, which can prove that the Crown Prince is the mastermind behind this incident."
"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty, in addition to thoroughly investigating this matter, to immediately remove His Highness from the position of Crown Prince, withdraw his troops, and make peace with the Huns."
Emperor Qing still showed no change in his expression and looked at everything in the audience quietly.
Sure enough, just as he expected, as Yang Wenyuan started, someone jumped out immediately.
"Your Majesty, ever since the prince threatened to fight against the Xiongnu, the outside world has not been quiet. First it was the State of Qin, and now it is the Empress. Even the small Kingdom of Seal has begun to become restless."
"The reason for this is that the prince wanted to quarrel with the Xiongnu, so it gave other countries an opportunity to take advantage of him."
"In order to ensure the long-term peace of our Daqing, we should immediately cancel the prince's plan to confront the enemy and make peace with him immediately. In this way, our court can be distracted from dealing with the worries brought by Qin and the female empire."
Immediately afterwards, another minister echoed.
"Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince has done a lot during these days, he first discovered evidence of Wang Zhen's collusion with the Huns, and then found out about Ma Benliu's smuggling of salt."
"However, many innocent ministers were involved in the process of handling the two matters. Now people are panicking. I don't know if one day, the prince will be accused of an unfounded crime."
"Therefore, I strongly agree with Master Yang's proposal. We should immediately remove him from the position of crown prince and replace him with a new crown prince!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers stepped forward.
"I second the proposal!"
"I beg your Majesty to abolish the crown prince and replace him with a new crown prince!"
From this look, it seemed that they had been discussed, from the inside, to the outside, to Liu Qi's body, one link after another.
It's like all the bad things happening now happened because of Liu Qicai.
When the hall fell silent, Emperor Qing nodded and suddenly laughed.
"It just so happens that Zhang Shi came to see me last night and told me a lot about the prince, Ang, including this assassination attempt."
"Since all the ministers feel that Liu Qi's crime is unpardonable, let him give you an explanation in front of everyone."
As soon as Emperor Qing finished speaking, Laifu beside him sang loudly.
"Xuan! Prince Liu Qi enters the palace!"
It can be seen that everyone's expressions changed instantly.
Everyone looked around, but no one thought that Liu Qi, who was imprisoned in the sky prison, would come to attend the court meeting today?
"What's going on? Didn't you say he can't come?"
"Yes, I heard from Tingwei's people yesterday that his matter is particularly complicated."
With the sound of footsteps outside the door, everyone turned around.
Under the golden light, he saw a dark figure standing outside the door. If it wasn't Liu Qi, who could it be?
Facing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the eldest prince and the fourth prince, Liu Qi walked towards the stairs with his head held high.
He knew that this time would be a hundred times more dangerous than the first court meeting he had experienced. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of being shattered to pieces.
But Liu Qi didn't care.
Even if it is all difficulties, I will give it a try!
If you can't even get over this predicament, why talk about dominating the world in the future?
Today, I will see what tricks you have. Since you want to play, let this storm come more violently!
Because he was still in a guilty state, Liu Qi stopped at the foot of the stairs.
"My son, please see your father!"
Before Emperor Qing could say anything, the court had already become restless.
First came Liu Yin, who shouted loudly.
"Liu Qi, you are still a human being. My father has not treated you well enough. You actually intend to assassinate me!"
Liu Xuan also had an angry expression on his face.
"Third brother, it's useless for me to think so highly of you. It turns out that you have hidden ambitions. Liu Qi, are you too anxious?"
Following the words of the two princes. The ministers also became restless.
"How can a person like this be worthy of being the crown prince of Daqing?"
"What a shame. Daqing has a prince who kills his father. This is a big joke."
"Go to hell with the prince, you are all taking advantage of him. The emperor has violated the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. According to my Daqing law, he should be punished!"
Amidst the accusations from everyone, Liu Qi not only did not show any panic, but instead looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.
"Hahaha, yes, everything you said is right!"
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Are you admitting it?
Not only the ministers and princes, but also Emperor Qing could not help but show a look of astonishment...
