Su Qing estimated that Chunming would soon enter the foundation building stage. He had been in the Qi refining stage for more than ten years, and he had accumulated a lot of experience. With the concentration of spiritual energy in the Imperial City Star, he should have advanced a long time ago. Now he has a correct understanding of the techniques. There will definitely be a qualitative leap in cultivation.
After Su Qing and Yang Wei finished dinner, Chun Ming was still practicing. They didn't disturb him and went back to their rooms to rest.
Su Qing asked Yang Wei to rest early. There will be a tough battle tomorrow. Whether he can leave safely depends on the conditions of the emperor tomorrow.
Yan Zexi sat in silence in the study. Manager Liu tried to persuade him several times that it was time for dinner, but he ignored it.
Thinking of the meeting with the ministers, he became upset and angry. It was too much. Is the empire still the empire of their Yan family?
It's so hateful that several major families have joined forces to gradually evade the imperial power. Fortunately, the royal family has been preparing for many years and has never allowed them to completely succeed. As long as the apparent military power is still in their hands, he has nothing to fear.
Even so, as an emperor, he could not act arbitrarily and often compromised with ministers on some state affairs.
Regarding the affairs of the Imperial Preceptor, after hearing the whole story, all the ministers implicitly accused the emperor of neglecting the management of the Imperial Preceptor's Office. A small matter could have such a big impact.
Many people secretly cursed in their hearts, Cheng Lang was really useless, he wanted to do something bad but he was so merciful, he used some tricks to get the secret out and then silenced him. Such a simple thing, people came to visit him, and everyone knew about it. Now There is a lot of buzz outside, how to explain it to the public.
But when Yan Zexi showed everyone part of the surveillance video, everyone was shocked. Their mouths opened wide and their expressions were blank for a while before someone asked: "Your Majesty, is Guang Lingzi really that powerful?"
Yan Zexi: "You have also seen the surveillance video. Ordinary thermal weapons are completely ineffective against Guang Lingzi. He must have other means. Otherwise, how could he cross the entire palace and enter the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion? You all know the legends about the monks, no need to I'll say more.
How do you think you should deal with the two conditions proposed by Guang Lingzi? I have already given one of the compensation items. How do you think the punishment of the imperial master should be announced to the public? "
As soon as the emperor said this, all the ministers became silent.
Someone dared to make trouble in the palace, and they just happened to see the emperor laughing. However, the scandal of the imperial master was different. It was spread by Guang Lingzi. In fact, it was easy to explain to the outside world. You can just find an excuse. But Guang Lingzi was powerful and he asked Publicly punishing the national master, no one dared to refuse but could not agree. No one wanted to open their mouth and take the responsibility.
The impact of punishing the imperial master would be too great, and no one from the emperor to the ministers would agree.
Su Qing also understood that the emperor would not agree. He said that at that time just to deal with her. At most, Cheng Lang would not be able to become a national teacher.
Yan Zexi glanced at everyone, "You can't defeat Guang Lingzi, and you can't punish the imperial master. Don't you know what to do?"
The Minister of Finance said sarcastically: "Your Majesty has made up his mind a long time ago and will not let Guang Lingzi leave. He just took the opportunity to win over a high-level monk."
Yan Zexi did not deny it, and said calmly: "I would like to keep Guanglingzi, but it is a pity that he is an outsider and doesn't like the position of national master. I just said a few conditions, but he actually lost his temper. The head is about to leave. If the entire fleet had not blocked the palace and saw that the situation was not good for him, Guang Lingzi would not have stayed. Now that you are here, for the mysterious Guang Lingzi,
What do you think? "
The ministers below had different thoughts and were all deep in thought.
Will the emergence of a high-level monk break the existing balance. Originally, several alliances could compete with the imperial family. Once the Imperial Preceptor's Office suddenly emerges and a top master succeeds the Imperial Preceptor, the emperor's strength will be greatly increased. This can be Not what they wanted to see.
Now that the emperor used the fleet to stop Guang Lingzi from leaving, Guang Lingzi had some scruples. Instead of falling out, he was waiting to see what the emperor was planning?
What the ministers are concerned about is whether the emperor can keep Guang Lingzi to succeed the imperial counselor. That may not be a good thing for them.
If the two sides fought, they would be able to reap the benefits, but with the emperor's evil intentions, he probably wouldn't force it.
"Your Majesty, if Guang Lingzi agrees to take up the position of Imperial Preceptor, you will really remove Cheng Lang. In that case, what will happen to the entire Imperial Preceptor's Office?"
This minister is right to ask. If Cheng Lang is not the Imperial Master, what will happen to his disciples? The entire Imperial Master's Office is made of Cheng Lang's people. Guanglingzi is a parachute with no power at all. The people the royal family has worked so hard to cultivate cannot be wasted. , wouldn’t it be very troublesome if the two parties don’t want to be together?
Yan Zexi sneered and said: "When you really face Guang Lingzi, you will know that such a senior master is simply uncontrollable and will not obey anyone's control. It is absolutely impossible to make him loyal. I think we can only cooperate with him. , as for the national master’s matter, now that it has happened, let’s simply let his best disciple succeed him.”
The ministers suddenly guessed the emperor's plan.
Although Cheng Lang is no longer the Imperial Preceptor, the emperor can still ask him to make predictions. There is no loss to the royal family. It is just a matter of replacing someone as the Imperial Preceptor. Anyway, they are all from the Imperial Preceptor's Office. It will be the same no matter who becomes the Imperial Preceptor. The meat will be as rotten as the soup pot. Here, he is still his.
Many people sneered in their hearts after hearing this. The emperor had his own plan and wanted to seduce Guang Lingzi to stay. He also decided to deal with the Imperial Preceptor's Office. It is estimated that the promise that Guang Lingzi would publicly punish the Imperial Preceptor was also a lie. If His Majesty had not been arrested at that time. Guanglingzi was frightened by the collapse of the main hall and was still circling.
No matter what agreement Guang Lingzi reaches with His Majesty, it will not be beneficial to them. It would be best if Guang Lingzi fights with the emperor and both sides suffer losses.
If the emperor's conditions cannot impress Guang Lingzi, it is estimated that they will have little chance to make a move. However, before the matter comes to an end, they still have a chance. It depends on their own abilities. Everyone has their own minds in mind, and no one wants to increase the number of the royal family. strength.
Sometimes a peerless strong man is the key to victory. No matter how many troops you have, you can't do what a master can do. The army can play a role in large-scale battlefields, but in the hands of politicians, a supreme master can not do what uu reading can do. There is so much to do.
Yan Zexi looked at the ministers who had their own evil intentions, and sneered in his heart. They were all making crooked ideas. As soon as something happened in the palace, he came to see his joke. How could he not be so active in handling state affairs? Since everyone is here, some We will discuss important state affairs together so that they can be implemented as soon as possible.
After hearing the emperor's remarks on several state affairs, the ministers cheered up and began to argue with each other. They thought it was the aunt at the vegetable market who was haggling over the price.
Finally, the incident of the disappearance of the Zerg was discussed, which immediately attracted everyone's attention and no longer ignored it.
Imperial Marshal He Cangming said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Zerg affairs are the most important now. Everything else can be put aside first. All manpower must be mobilized to search inaccessible places. We must find new insect nests in time and let the army Be prepared, otherwise if a war breaks out, there will be no way to stop it."
Everyone looked heavy. The Zerg were like a huge boulder pressing down on the empire. They might kill everyone at some point. Even though they were biting each other, they were still united in dealing with the Zerg, and they all understood the principle of being united in dealing with the outside world.
A minister suddenly said: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the Zerg, why don't you let the National Advisor make predictions? If the intelligence is accurate, the National Advisor will abdicate because of his contribution to the country, and there is no need to publicly punish him. This will just save the face of the empire."
After saying this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. He was worthy of being a royalist and could speak according to his own wishes. This was what he planned to do.
