Chapter 446: Rebirth from the Flames (5)
The people on the ground trembled, and one of them stepped forward, "I don't know what is important for the emperor and the others to be gathered here?" ”
"I'm curious, who are your allegiances?" Dongfang Che's hand knocked on the table rhythmically, and it made people feel like they were knocking on the heart, stirring up a thousand waves.
"Allegiance is naturally to the country of the East." The person standing in front of him was already oozing sweat from his forehead, and he didn't dare to wipe it, so he replied in a low voice.
"Taiwei Li, how has the development of the Eastern Kingdom been in the past five years?" Dongfang Che asked. 、
The person who spoke just now should be the emperor's Taiwei Li, he thought about it and replied truthfully: "The wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe." ”
"Is there a war?" Dongfang Che continued to ask.
"No, our country has abundant troops, and foreign enemy forces do not dare to be presumptuous." Mrs. Li replied proudly without thinking about it. He's in charge of the military, so he's very confident about that.
"What do you think of me?"
Listening to Dongfang Che's words, Taiwei Li looked up in some surprise, but found that Dongfang Che's eyes were looking at him, and he hurriedly lowered his head, "The emperor governs the country in a good way......
Dongfang Che suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "Even so, why are you following Prime Minister Sun Cheng in an embarrassing way!" ”
Taiwei Li knelt down in a panic, and the officials behind him also knelt down together: "The minister is panicked, the minister is loyal to the emperor, please enlighten the emperor!" ”
"The emperor is ......"
The people behind him also kowtowed and said the same thing as Captain Li.
"A piece of loyalty? Do you really think I don't know what you're doing? Following Prime Minister Sun Cheng and several of my royal brothers, I secretly discussed many times. Taiwei Li, you are a veteran of the previous dynasty, and I didn't want to embarrass you too much, but unfortunately you have intensified your efforts and regarded my tolerance as weakness. Do you think of me as a random kneading persimmon? ”
The cup slammed to the ground and split in an instant.
The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
On the ground, Taiwei Li and others did not make a sound. They didn't expect that the emperor, who had been silent, had secretly known so much, and even knew about their conspiracy with the prince.
Taiwei Li is a veteran of the previous dynasty, and he has seen the world in the end, so he said: "What the emperor is talking about, the minister doesn't understand." ”
Now is an extraordinary period, the plot to overthrow Dongfang Che has reached a critical moment in the later stage, if it is exposed, the previous efforts will be wasted, and it is wisest to pretend to be confused now
Dongfang Che naturally knew what he was thinking, and his voice suddenly became a little ethereal, "Taiwei Li, what do you think of your father's rule of the country?" ”
Taiwei Li was stunned, and didn't understand why Dongfang Che suddenly changed so quickly, but he still replied very firmly: "The first emperor is the most admired by the ministers. ”
He was an official in two dynasties, and the emperors' efforts were all in their eyes, the first emperor was Bole who discovered himself, and Dongfang Che also had a bit of the style of the first emperor ruling the country. It's just a pity that Dongfang Che's throne is not justified.
"Do you think it's unjustifiable for me to be the emperor?" Dongfang Che's voice was not loud, but the words clearly reached Taiwei Li's ears.
Taiwei Li, who was over fifty years old, did not say any more polite and hypocritical words this time, and bowed his head and did not answer.
The death of the former emperor five years ago was without warning, and according to the law of the Eastern Kingdom, it should be the crown prince who inherited the throne. But the queen, no, it's time to be the queen mother.
