A few days later!
The royal capital of the Mauryan Dynasty!
The Peacock King Shi Jingzhong was sitting on the throne, his face extremely gloomy.
On the table in front of him, a stack of chorus books was piled up in front of him like a hill.
What is written in these memorials is exactly about the defeat of the Maurya Dynasty on the front line.
Although he tried his best to prevent the spread of the news, there is no airtight wall in the world!
What's more, in this court, there is also a person who is not weaker than him who is secretly controlling it.
Click, click, click!
Shi Jingzhong clenched his fists and looked coldly at the high priest in the class.
On this occasion, a royal doctor walked out quickly, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this time our Maurya Dynasty was defeated with troops!"
"As a result, all the people in the world are in panic and are in danger. If we continue to use troops against Qin, the people of the world will surely fall into the flames of war again!"
"I sincerely request your Majesty to stop the troops and punish the frontline commander severely!"
When Shi Jingzhong heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
The imperial censor is a member of the old Brahmin noble family!
Today's words must have been directed by the high priest.
Before Shi Jingzhong could speak, no less than a dozen courtiers walked out of the court one after another and worshiped in unison: "I beg the king to stop his troops and severely punish the frontline generals!"
Hearing this, Shi Jingzhong's eyes showed cold murderous intent, and he said solemnly: "This matter is my king's order. Do I also need to be punished severely?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court were stunned.
The courtiers of the old Brahmin aristocracy all looked at the high priest who had not spoken from the beginning to the end.
A few breaths have passed.
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the court hall.
"Hahaha!"
The high priest smiled loudly, slowly walked out of the courtroom, bowed his hands and said, "The king is joking."
"As the old saying goes, the law is not respected!"
"Your Majesty is the king of the Maurya Dynasty. Even if he has any faults, it is still a slander offered by the people below."
"That's why the king made the wrong decision."
"Therefore, I sincerely request the king to severely punish the slanderous officials in order to restore peace to our Mauryan Dynasty!"
After the words fell, the high priest looked at Mo Cangli beside him.
Seeing this, Mo Cangli walked out slowly, met the high priest's gaze, and said with a smile: "From what the high priest said, it seems that the slanderous official in the court is here?"
The high priest smiled slightly and saluted: "The state master's words are serious! I'm just talking about the matter!"
"Of course, if the National Preceptor can point out who was deceived this time, the National Preceptor can naturally clear his grievances."
boom!
Shi Jingzhong's palm fell heavily on the table and shouted angrily: "Do you still have this king in your eyes?"
Upon hearing this, the high priest bowed his head and silently retreated to the court.
But his eyes stayed on Shi Jingzhong from beginning to end, waiting for his answer.
"This is what the people want!"
"The Maurya Dynasty has been conquering the world since the beginning of our ancestors, and only today can we have such a foundation as this king!"
"Does the high priest want me to live in peace and forget the teachings of past kings?"
The high priest bowed his hands and said: "I don't dare, I just..."
"Then what do you mean? Or are you tired of the position of high priest!"
"Then do you want me to give up the throne to you?"
After the words fell, all the Chinese, civil and military officials knelt down one after another and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"snort!"
"Retreat!"
Shi Jingzhong shouted angrily, turned around and left the palace.
After a few breaths, the courtiers stood up one after another and left tremblingly.
But before the high priest left, his steps suddenly stopped beside Mo Cangli.
"The Imperial Master had better advise the king. After all, if the people of the Mauryan Dynasty are in chaos and the Qin invades, the foundation of the Mauryan Dynasty will be affected."
Hearing this, Mo Cangli looked at the high priest coldly and said, "Ha! I also have something to advise the high priest, don't stumble in such a state!"
"Otherwise, it will be too late to regret!"
"oh?!"
Faced with Mo Cangli's threat, the high priest remained unmoved and said with great interest: "We'll have to wait and see about the sacrifice!"
After saying this, the high priest left the court with a smile.
On this occasion, the eunuch slowly walked to Mo Cangli's side and said respectfully: "National Preceptor, according to the king's decree, please invite the National Preceptor to come and spy."
Hearing this, Mo Cangli nodded slightly and followed the eunuch towards the inner hall.
…
Inner Temple!
Before Mo Cangli could step in, he heard a clanging sound coming from the palace.
The moment Mo Cangli stepped into the palace, bamboo slips and treasures were scattered everywhere.
The Peacock King Shi Jingzhong said angrily: "It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
"Do you really think that this king can do nothing to them?"
"Chop it off! I will chop them all off!!!"
Seeing this, Mo Cangli slowly walked forward, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think that the more you are at this time, the more you need to calm down!"
Shi Jingzhong looked at Mo Cangli with red eyes and said angrily: "Calm down! How can you tell me to calm down!"
"Didn't the teacher see what happened in the court just now? Or does the teacher hope that the king will hand you over!!!"
Mo Cangli shook his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the purpose of what they are doing now is to anger Your Majesty."
"If the king takes this opportunity to get rid of the old Brahmin noble lineage, the entire dynasty will definitely be at the forefront!"
"Once there is civil strife in the Mauryan Dynasty, the only one who will be proud in the end will be Great Qin!"
After Mo Cangli's persuasion, Shi Jingzhong's anger calmed down a little, and he said coldly: "Then what should we do according to the teacher's wishes?"
"Your Majesty, do you remember the Six High Priests?" Mo Cangli whispered.
Shi Jingzhong looked slightly shocked and said in a deep voice: "Why don't I remember this? It's just a pity that the ghost hiding in the court has not been found for so many years!"
Mo Cangli nodded slightly and said, "That's right! The person responsible for the folk rumors this time is none other than Ying, one of the six movies!"
"If you want to quell this matter, you must start from this matter! If you want to bring down the high priest, you must start from the demon!"
"Your Majesty, this matter should be taken slowly and gradually. Don't let the high priest find an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
When Shi Jingzhong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "What does the teacher mean...?"
Mo Cangli's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a cold voice: "Abolish its foundation, then start with the demon!"
"I sincerely request the king to issue an edict to seal off the romantic places in the dynasty."
"Since the high priest doesn't want people to know about the six divisions, then he has no reason to stop the king from taking action in these places!"
"At the same time, the king can also take this opportunity to pass on the defeat in the frontier to the old Brahmin noble lineage."
"Some of the ministers in the court talked nonsense while drunk, so that the military information of the dynasty was leaked!"
"color!"
"color!"
"color!"
"Hahaha!"
After Shi Jingzhong heard Mo Cangli's plan, he was overjoyed and nodded: "Okay, okay! Everything will follow the teacher's wishes!"
"I will immediately issue an order to seal the land of romance and beauty!"
Mo Cangli bowed his hands and slowly retreated from the palace.
