Today's court situation is definitely extremely difficult for Qingliu to accept.
this will.
The Qingliu people, headed by Xu Juzheng, are gathering in the Xu Mansion to discuss the next strategy for dealing with the new emperor!
"The new emperor is far more dandy than previously rumored. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to live in the court for the next three months."
"Who says it's not the case? He was thrown into jail just because he contradicted Mu Qizhang? This guy really has the consciousness to be a puppet."
"Everyone, please be careful!"
Seeing that the ministers were all filled with righteous indignation, they became more and more excessive.
Xu Juzheng, who had been silent until now, stopped everyone.
At this moment, Xu Juzheng looked gloomy.
He had just received the news from the housekeeper.
After everyone stopped discussing, he sighed slightly:
"This new emperor is not only more dandy than we imagined, but also more cruel."
"Then Yang Qingde and Pei Shiji were both beheaded!"
? ? ?
As soon as these words came out.
The air in the entire lobby seemed to freeze.
Everyone fell silent and stared at Xu Juzheng in astonishment.
I still can’t believe the truth of this sentence!
"What? That guy actually gave an old minister like Mr. Pei?"
"What's this? I think this guy really can't sit on this throne."
"I see, you and I will enter the palace soon..."
After a while, the crowd was boiling.
Xu Juzheng shook his head slightly after hearing this:
"Now is not the time. Mu Qizhang has the support of the Hexi Army, and with Xiao Ning inheriting the throne, it is justifiable!"
"Even if you want to resist, it's not time now."
"What's more, even if we replace Xiao Ning now, there is no other suitable prince who can take over the throne."
"In terms of the military, the feudal lords in various places have their own plans, and not many people support us. If we really break up with the Muslim Party, we may have no chance of winning."
"At that time, apart from letting Dayao ignite the flames of war, destroying lives, and separatist regimes in various places, I am afraid it will not benefit us at all, and the court situation will not change at all."
"Now, although this Xiao Ning is unbearable, he is still sitting on the throne, and Mu Qizhang is bringing the emperor with him to command the princes, relying on his power."
"At present, whether it is Dayao's court situation or the relationship between our capital and local governments, we can maintain a delicate balance."
"Now is not the best time to break the balance."
"Over at the prison of the Criminal Department, Yan Qing will be back soon. Let's listen to what he has to say."
"In short, we may not have any hope for our new emperor."
Next, there is a long wait.
About half an hour later.
Di Yanqing came to Xu Mansion after some questioning and investigation from the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.
"About the execution of Pei Shiji and Yang Qingde, what are the specific circumstances?"
Seeing Di Yanqing, Xu Juzheng got straight to the point and asked about the topic that everyone was most concerned about.
"But as the outside world said, the two of them have been beheaded in public."
"When I went to the prison of the Criminal Department, those two people had already been killed!"
"Looking at the scene, I didn't find any other clues."
"It's just that, through the descriptions of the jailers, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems."
Di Yanqing held his chin and murmured.
"It's not as simple as it seems? What do you mean?"
"I can't explain clearly. I just feel that this matter, or our new emperor, is a bit fishy."
"This is just my intuition. I can't tell you the specifics."
Di Yanqing explained.
Then he sat aside and said no more.
In fact.
There was an inference in his mind.
However, seeing the attitude of his colleagues towards the new emperor, he did not say anything.
He currently has no conclusive evidence to confirm his suspicion.
In this case, if you tell this group of people your guess, they may think that you are crazy.
"However, I heard another thing on the way here. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
"Huh? Another thing? What is it?"
Regarding these words, the ministers were once again curious and looked at Di Yanqing.
"I heard that the new emperor seemed to be heading to the Guo Mansion after he came out of the Criminal Department."
"Guo Mansion? I remember that Prime Minister Guo followed the Xiao family. Isn't it because of some old grudges? The new emperor has just ascended the throne, why is he visiting Mr. Guo?"
"Gift!"
"A gift? What gift? This new emperor doesn't look like someone who repays evil with kindness."
"I heard they are two wooden sculptures. One is a rat and the other is a wolf!"
"Rat and wolf?"
Upon hearing these two animals, the ministers present came to their senses on the spot.
"Looking at it this way, the new emperor is really vindictive and will retaliate."
"I still remember that after the feud between the Xiao family and the Guo family happened, the young prince of the Xiao family often scolded Prime Minister Guo for being as cowardly and ungrateful as a mouse."
"Who says otherwise? Now, this is sending a rat and a wolf at the same time. Isn't it just to bring up the old things again and scold Prime Minister Guo for being as timid as a mouse and a wolf with white eyes?"
"Our new emperor's mind seems to be equally impressive, and I don't dare to compliment him."
After learning the news.
The ministers present even frowned.
"There are even more extreme ones."
After Di Yanqing said this, he sighed again.
"Our new emperor, in addition to sending this gift, also attached an imperial edict."
"Imperial decree? May I ask, what is it?"
"This man stated in the imperial edict: Prime Minister Guo has always regarded himself as a good minister of the country. He has taught me many times that as a prince, I have no regard for the people and the country of Yao."
"In ancient times, there was an allusion about Bigan betraying his heart to prove his loyalty. Today, I would also like to see if you, Prime Minister Guo, are also loyal to Bigan, and if you also have the heart of a loyal minister!"
Wait until Di Yanqing finished narrating the contents of the imperial edict.
At this moment, it can be said.
The hatred of the Qingliu people present towards the new emperor has reached its peak!
"What? Is he trying to imitate King Zhou of Shang?"
"You want Mr. Guo to imitate Bigan? Wouldn't that force Mr. Guo to die?"
"Although there were conflicts between the Guo and Xiao families at the beginning, they wouldn't directly force Prime Minister Guo to death!"
"In the past few years, Prime Minister Guo has been physically weak due to his own chronic illness. Not to mention having a heart attack, even if he is slightly injured, Prime Minister Guo's body may not be able to bear it!"
"He wants to take revenge on Guo Daxiang for terminating his contract with the Xiao family last year. He wants Guo Daxiang to die!"
"This new emperor is really cruel."
"It seems that if we don't find a solution quickly and oust the new emperor from the throne, there will be no peace in Luoling City."
"I can kill Mr. Pei today, and I can force Prime Minister Guo to kill. Who knows what ridiculous things this guy will do in the future!"
In the Xu Mansion.
Complaints abounded among the ministers.
For Xiao Ning, everyone's resistance has reached the extreme.
I no longer have any illusions about it!
