Chapter 105: The Imperial Council
In the palace, Sima Long, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, sat on the throne, and the ministers below were arguing about how to deal with Yunye's affairs.
Now Yun Ye has been arrested, and he is locked in the prison, directly guarded by the royal forbidden army, and in the prison, the masters are like clouds, so Sima Long will not worry about any mistakes in Yun Ye.
However, this group of courtiers above the court gave Sima Long a headache, and due to the defeat of the emperor's army, the army under the direct control of the royal family was greatly reduced. Moreover, the former emperor was too accustomed to the Ye family, which caused the dissatisfaction of several other major families in the country, and they also began to intentionally or unintentionally support the royal family of the academy, but instead supported those nobles who held some real power.
When he succeeded to the throne, the power of the royal family was not even comparable to those big nobles in the court, so he could only rely on a few trusted families and use his own means to win over the support of some nobles, which stabilized his throne.
But the actual situation of the Great Jin has not changed much, Sima Long admitted that he is not an eloquent emperor, he can only be regarded as a mediocre monarch, but he is reluctant to his throne, he is reluctant to get down from this dragon chair, so he tries his best to keep his current position and maintain the current situation.
Now the Great Jin Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, but he can only watch that he has almost no power to make any decisions, and is completely controlled by those big nobles and ministers. Although a prime minister died before, there were other ministers and nobles, and the newly appointed prime minister was as good as his predecessor.
If you can't control the court, the troops that are accumulating on the border will naturally slowly lose control, and eventually become warlords on one side.
Sima Long lowered his head gloomily, listening to the chatter and quarrel of the ministers below, he knew that even if they quarreled for another three days and three nights, they would not be able to get a result, and then they would have to see who was stronger, and then pressure other people to come to him to ask for the holy decree.
When the emperor is angry, the blood will flow thousands of miles? Sima Long sometimes wanted to break the jar and break it, and directly mobilized the dead soldiers under his command and the army that he could control, kill all these ministers and nobles who controlled the government, and beheaded them all over the house. But, difficult! Let's see how long this great Jin Jiangshan will be toyed with by these people!
"Yun Ye is a great disaster for the country, no matter whether he has merit or demerits, he doesn't care what the people say, one thing we have to know is that he, Yun Ye, has the ability to turn all of us into prisoners!"
Liu Kai, the prime minister who had just taken office, kept silent, letting these ministers and nobles fight for each other, and waited until they were all tired before Liu Kai spoke.
As soon as Liu Kai spoke, everyone quieted down, because they knew that as long as Liu Kai spoke, then the final outcome would be what he said, even if the emperor was unhappy, there was nothing he could do.
Behind Liu Kai are several big families of the Great Jin Dynasty, as well as the Southern Xinjiang Army of the Great Jin Kingdom. If the Northern Mirror Legion had not suffered that defeat, they might still be able to balance Liu Kai, now the Western Legion has almost been wiped out, the Northern Mirror Legion has also suffered heavy losses, the Eastern Legion is mostly a water army, and the most powerful army system in the entire Great Jin Kingdom is the Southern Xinjiang Legion, Liu Kai, as the spokesperson of the South, naturally got the strong support of the Southern Xinjiang Legion.
"Lord Liu is very right, Yunye is a great disaster for the country, and it must be eradicated, and it cannot be kept!"
The minister, who originally advocated killing Yunye to prevent future troubles, heard Liu Kai's words and immediately echoed proudly, while those who were afraid of the Western Army coming and advocated a long-term plan closed their lips tightly and did not dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, Yunye is a bane and a cancer, and it must not be left behind, so Weichen implores the emperor to order the execution of this chaotic minister and thief!"
Liu Kai turned around and faced the emperor, and he didn't look down, he stared straight at the emperor, he was not afraid of the cowardly man sitting on that stool, he felt that he was just an ornament, perhaps, more like a tool.
"Well, Yun Ye really can't stay, since he openly rebelled against the imperial court, then he will be dealt with as treason, and he will be beheaded in three days!"
Sima Long held his head, squinted his eyes, and looked tired, he was deliberately avoiding Liu Kai's eyes, because he was afraid that he would not be able to hide the killing intent in his eyes.
"Is there anything else to discuss today? If not, retreat! ”
Sima Long was irritable in his heart, and waved his sleeves to signal that the ministers could retreat.
The ministers all retreated after shouting long live, but the great division and a few ministers stayed, and the early dynasty was only ready to begin for them.
The big master finally opened his eyes after closing all morning, and at the same time stretched his waist, and his feelings were only awakened, it turned out that the quarrel in the morning did not affect his sleep, but everyone was no longer surprised.
These people are all the emperor's henchmen, and they have a good relationship with the emperor, so they are naturally more casual.
"What do you think of the decision to dispose of Yunye?"
After a safe gesture came from the henchmen at the door, Sima Long dared to ask his henchmen.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what you do with him, as long as you don't let him go, and I dare to guarantee that these people will not be able to kill Yunye."
The Great Master took the lead in speaking after moving his body, he was the person Sima Long relied on the most, and it was precisely because of his support all the way that Sima Long was able to sit firmly on the throne of the Great Jin.
"Why do they say they can't kill Yunye? Now that he is locked in the prison, it is impossible to escape, and I can't think of the force that dares to break into the prison in the entire Great Jin. ”
A royal nobleman said with some confusion that he was one of the few remaining royal families in the Great Jin Dynasty, and he was friendly with Sima Long, and over time, the relationship between them became similar to an alliance.
"Because there is a mysterious force behind Yunye, that force, even I don't dare to provoke easily, once I annoy them, it's not a joke, there are a bunch of crazy people."
The great master remembered that when he broke through the barrier of enlightenment and entered the transcendent realm, he was talented at that time, and he was even known as the first in the world when he was young and vigorous. Until one time I went out on a trip and met that person, I only lasted two and a half moves under his men and lost, and I lost completely.
"I haven't spoken this morning, so I let them go and quarrel, the purpose of my arrest of Yunye is not because of how much he has brought disaster to the country and the people, but to use his power to help us get rid of these arrogant and arrogant rebels and thieves in the court."
The eyes of the great master shot a fine light, these are all things it has planned for a long time.
Sometimes, the constraints around us are much more terrible than the worries outside, and only by clearing the obstacles around us can we accumulate strength and do things according to our own will.
