Looking at the young man in front of him who smiled like a fox, Wang En's expression changed several times.
Gao Qiang was in charge of the Longxiao Army. He had the power to monitor hundreds of officials, set up private prisons, and kill them first before reporting them. This kind of decentralization will eventually snowball and turn into a violent power monster institution that is difficult to contend with and very terrifying as long as time accumulates.
This is a big threat to Wang En. Especially after Gao Qiang started to target him consciously.
Therefore, Wang Encai used the power of hundreds of officials to directly bully the emperor, hoping to take back Feng Linwen's life. As long as the Longxiao Army exists, its name is not legitimate, and its words are not true, then Wang En has a hundred ways to make Gaojiang's newly formed force collapse.
"Your Majesty wants me to support Dongchang to check and balance Longxiao's army?" Wang En understood Feng Lin's true intention in an instant.
No matter how nice Gao Jian's words are, the Long Xiao Army will only become a tool for Gao Jian to use power for personal gain, rather than a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor Feng Lin.
However, using the threat posed by Gao Qiang to coerce ministers such as Wang En and Cheng Penghai, who were basically in the civil service system, and forcing them to support the establishment of Dongchang, this was the real purpose of Feng Linhui.
"The purpose of the Taibao is to implement virtuous government, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the world peaceful. I share this with you...!" Feng Linhui said righteously with his back to Wang En.
Wang En just sneered.
How could a person like him, with a hard mind and an iron temperament, be persuaded by Feng Lin's casual words?
If the world is to be peaceful and healthy, it must be through his hands. How can he hand it over to others and place his hopes on others' keeping their promises?
Sima Liang stood up, faced the sneering Wang En directly, and said with a smile: "Are the Taibao worried that our Dongchang will be too powerful in the future due to the expansion of power? So the Taibao can rest assured that, except for some peripheral soldiers, the rest of the Dongchang Everyone is in charge of the eunuchs in the palace."
"Those who will be sold into the palace to be eunuchs are all poor people, or even those who are alone when their families are broken up. There are not many people who can read Chinese characters, and it is even more difficult to form a party with the outer court for personal gain. That is to say, one day they will be successful. It eliminates trouble and is very convenient to clean up.”
"On the other hand, Prime Minister Gao... is not easy to handle and control. Now Wang Taibao is asking His Majesty to change the order overnight and abolish Prime Minister Gao's Longxiao Army. Have you ever thought that Prime Minister Gao can come with the same momentum and force you again? His Majesty has changed his mind."
Shaking his fan, Sima Liang stared at Wang En and said: "The Taibao can disrespect the Emperor and have no regard for the king's laws, allowing His Majesty's face to be damaged and become a capricious person. However, if the Emperor loses his authority, all evil spirits in the world will be wiped out. If you don't respect his laws, then the world will be in chaos and smoke will rise everywhere... But it's all thanks to Taibao's majestic power and his ability to 'speak for justice'."
Everyone has their weaknesses.
Wang En's weakness is that he is loyal to the people of the world. For the sake of peace in his heart, he can coerce the emperor, humiliate the young emperor, and even kill the emperor and imprison the emperor.
But equally, threatening him with the peace of the world will inevitably make him fearful and hesitant.
The five ministers who care about life, on the surface, look like five big bosses, waiting for Feng Linwen to defeat them one by one.
But management rights and political skills are not about playing games, it is not about beating a BOSS, upgrading and picking up equipment, and then going to fight the next BOSS.
The so-called rights sometimes mean weighing the interests of all parties, and then finding a balance point and acting as that balance point.
"Hmph! What a mean man with sharp teeth and a playful tongue. Your Majesty, since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizong, we have followed the teachings of saints. All the emperors in the past generations have always been close to the virtuous and far away from the villain. Such a person with ulterior motives, please Your Majesty. Kill him!"
"As for the matter of Dongchang... I have someone I can recommend to Your Majesty. Although he is informal, he has outstanding abilities and is loyal to the country. He is the most suitable person." Wang En no longer opposed Dongchang or even the Longxiao Army, but To take Dongchang directly into his own possession is straightforward and extremely domineering.
"Haha! Loyal? Is that person loyal to the country, loyal to the king, or loyal to your king's favor and the king's Taibao?" Sima Liang's voice suddenly rose two degrees.
"Wang En! You are so courageous. Your Majesty is the king and you are the minister. If the subordinates suppress the superiors, it is treason. Now you are even more thinking about forming a party for personal gain and gathering party members. Is it possible that you want to rebel?" Sima Liang's voice came directly from the main hall. It was spread out so that many people could hear it.
Several senior officials following Wang En lowered their heads deeply at the same time, wishing they could bury their heads in the soil.
The so-called scholar rebellion failed in three years.
Although Wang En held a high and powerful position, he had no actual military power in his hands. It is reasonable to say that he used his power to coerce the king and evade the emperor's rights.
But rebellion... that's another thing.
There is no doubt that this hat is also huge.
Even Wang En couldn't bear it. If he didn't get rid of this hat today, then other ministers who cared about their lives...especially Gao Qiang would attack him.
Gao Qiang did intend to cooperate with Wang En at some stage.
However, if there is a chance, he can swallow up Wang En's power in one go and increase his own size.
Then Gao Qiang would do it without hesitation.
Wang En's eyes flashed with blue light, as if there was some kind of terrifying power that could burst out of his body at any time.
He stared at Situ Liang: "You dare to frame me for rebellion?"
Sima Liang straightened his back and said without fear: "What are you afraid of? Don't you let others talk about what you do? Is this the morality and righteousness you pursue? In this way, you, Wang Taibao, are different from those who regard deer as horses and are corrupt. What's the difference between a giant rat and a worm? How dare you claim to be moral in the world?"
Wang En made no excuses, but the killing intent in his body almost condensed into an entity and pressed towards Situ Liang.
Sima Liang's denial could not shake Wang En's mind at all, but he did not allow anyone to slander him.
"That's enough! They are all important ministers of the country and set examples for the world. How can they be like the shrews on the street, scolding each other in the bustling city, and causing trouble and tearing up in my Heavenly Palace?"
"That's it for today, Taibao Wang! I know you are loyal to the country, but there are too many things in this world for you to control. Let Sima Liang help you share your worries. Everything he does will be controlled and monitored by you. That's all." The emperor Feng Linwen stepped in as a peacemaker and clarified the matter, and the time was just right.
This is tantamount to a step of compromise with him.
If Wang En still doesn't know what's wrong and presses forward step by step, then he is in line with Sima Liang's previous accusation. That is not a slander, but a fact.
The cooperation between Feng Linwen and Sima Liang created a double act.
From the moment Wang Enda entered Tianqian Palace, as long as he did not want to directly fall out with Feng Linwen and become a regicide and rebel, he had to follow the direction they led.
Wang En fully understood what was going on, snorted coldly, and walked away, accepting the outcome of today.
Seeing all the people brought by Wang En exit the Tianqian Palace, Sima Liang's expression became a little more meaningful.
On the contrary, the expression of the 'Crazy Emperor' Zhao Mingxuan was a little stiff, without any significant changes. Fortunately... his hair covered most of his face, so others couldn't see clearly and couldn't find out what was going on.
The facts are obvious.
Whether it is Zhao Mingxuan or Sima Liang, they are actually Feng Linwen.
Although he did not have the ability to clone himself, he used a low-intelligent robot to temporarily disguise himself as the emperor who had a smaller role. And he wore a new vest and transformed into Sima Liang.
This is tantamount to Feng Lin's double opening. Operating two vests at the same time.
