Chapter XVII: Minister, seconded

"This ......"

Nan Xunchao and the others looked at each other, and they all saw the panic in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that Su Chen would be able to launch a counterattack so quickly under such a big formation of hundreds of officials.

His Majesty's abilities are beyond their imagination.

Su Chen's face was expressionless, just calmly staring at the hundred officials standing under the steps, although there were many of them, but at this moment there was a strange feeling of loneliness and exclusion in his heart.

The emperor's gaze seemed to be looking at a group of dead people.

Majestic, elusive, and high, this is what an emperor should look like.

No matter how stormy the current Great Xia Dynasty is and how low the imperial power is, Su Chen, as an emperor, will never be an existence that courtiers can offend!

This is the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Ahem. ”

Guo Sikong coughed, and the old man stood up, breaking the silence of the court.

Lord Sikong is about to make a move!

The eyes of the Southern Patrol Dynasty and others lit up, and the hundred officials turned around and looked at Guo Sikong, their eyes full of expectation.

Situ and Master Sima are really clever, the ministers of the three princes have already discussed, Guo Sikong will pull them at the most critical time, and then help them suppress the imperial power.

The faction officials behind Guo Sikong also looked at Guo Sikong, and they were all waiting for Guo Sikong's next move.

"Aiqing, what's wrong?"

Su Chen looked at Guo Sikong and spoke lightly.

"Emperor Qiyu, old minister, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Guo Sikong is still so sleek, his voice is calm and slow, as if he is an old man who is about to die.

But such an old minister will become a powerful help for us!

The officials were very excited and looking forward to it.

"Aiqing is an important minister in the court, and he is my right-hand man, if you have something in your heart, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Su Chen was slightly silent and waved his hand.

The Southern Patrol Dynasty and others were very excited, and they all felt that success was just around the corner.

Your Majesty is really too young to know that Guo Sikong is actually our person!

In the hearts of the Southern Patrol Dynasty and others, they were about to shout out happily, and there were many people with eyebrows flying and dancing among the hundred officials.

"Wow. ”

Guo Sikong took a deep breath and said lightly: "The old minister thinks that what His Majesty said is extremely true. ”

"Since the old ministers have watched hundreds of officials such as the Taihe Palace, they have been loud and aggressive; although the matter of hundreds of officials asking for orders is important, no matter how important things are, we must distinguish between the superior and the inferior. ”

Guo Sikong saluted, lowered his head, and spoke lightly.

His voice was soft, but full of determination.

Finished!

Baiguan's face turned pale, and he sighed in his heart.

This Guo Sikong, how can he help His Majesty speak?

Aren't you supposed to be talking for us?

"Guo Sikong, this statement is inevitably a little inappropriate!"

The Southern Patrol Dynasty couldn't help it, and hurriedly stood up to refute, if he didn't speak again, I was afraid that the rhythm of the entire court would be distorted.

We are obviously co-authoring the emperor of the palace today, why did we get around the issue of etiquette?

"What's wrong?"

Guo Sikong turned around, looked at the Southern Patrol Dynasty, and said lightly: "I want to ask Lord Nan, who are the hundred officials asking for their lives?"

"Of course, I ask Your Majesty for my life!"

The Southern Patrol Dynasty did not hesitate and saluted Su Chen respectfully.

"It seems that Lord Nan also knows, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he knows that the hundred officials are asking for orders from His Majesty, in order to seek the stability of the Great Xia Dynasty. ”

"In this case, why don't the hundred officials kneel when they see Your Majesty? Lord Nan needs to know that no matter how important the hundred officials' request for life is, no matter how loud and powerful it is, they should not forget Your Majesty's respect. ”

"If there is no Majesty in your eyes, is it still necessary for you to ask for your life?

Guo Sikong put his hands behind his back, smiled faintly, and said: "Therefore, the old man thinks that when the hundred officials ask for their lives, they should have His Majesty in their eyes." ”

"This kneeling should be done on your knees. ”

Guo Sikong's voice was indifferent, but it clearly echoed in the court, countless people were silent, and the people in the Southern Patrol Dynasty trembled, and they were at a loss for fear in their hearts.

Guo Sikong was reasonable, but what made the Southern Patrol Dynasty most desperate was that he never thought that things were not at all as Situ and Sima said.

Guo Sikong is not our person at all, but His Majesty's person!

Nan Xunchao was short of breath, and he stared at Guo Sikong deadly, wanting to see a flaw in Guo Sikong's calm old face.

But it's a pity that Guo Sikong's eyes are lowered and he doesn't bother to look at him.

In Guo Sikong's opinion, this group of beam-jumping clowns is really not His Majesty's opponent, and even he has to be controlled by His Majesty in the overall situation.

Those who underestimate the emperor will definitely regret it.

Guo Sikong has always been a sleek person in the court, and it was a very difficult period for him to take a clear stand; but the Southern Patrol Dynasty and others also knew deeply that in the early days of the emperor's accession to the throne, Guo Sikong was also the most talented minister in the court and the right-hand man of the emperor.

His power is different from the hereditary of Situ and Sima, he relied on merit, political achievements, and reforms again and again step by step to kill the position of Dasikong!

If it weren't for the old age and mediocrity of the first emperor, the grand duke would strive to seize the power, and the miasma inside and outside the court would cool Guo Sikong's great ambition;

And such a strong and vigilant figure broke away from the camp of the Three Princes and switched to the emperor!

When did Your Majesty use his means to subdue Guo Sikong?

Such doubts filled the hearts of the hundred officials, and even the hundred officials of Guo Sikong's own faction were deeply confused.

"What, what is Nan-sama doing when he looks at the old man?"

Guo Sikong raised his head, his old eyes were cloudy, and he chuckled: "Don't you kneel yet?

If you don't kneel in the face of the saint, how different is it from rebellion!

"The minister thinks that the words are reasonable, and the hundred officials ask for their lives, enter the temple and face the saint, and kneel first!"

One of the ministers of the Taihe Hall stood up, knelt down and kowtowed.

This is someone from Guo Sikong's faction.

"Minister, seconded. ”

Another man stood up, swept his sleeves and knelt down.

"Minister, seconded. ”

"Minister, seconded. ”

"Minister, seconded. ”

......

A group of officials under Guo Sikong's faction came out one after another, knelt down to second, and expressed their opinions, which was also a pressure on hundreds of officials to ask for their lives.

No matter what Guo Sikong thinks, anyway, let's just second.

For decades, the court has always been dominated by the ministers of the Three Dukes, and Su Chen's main purpose in subduing Guo Sikong is also to use the power of officials of this faction to act as a counterbalance.

Before he fully grasped the power of the court, checks and balances were a necessary thing, and they were also the exclusive art of the emperor.

The good officials asked for their lives, but under Guo Sikong's words, it seemed to have become an internal entanglement of the court's power, and they completely lost the meaning and momentum of the hundreds of officials' requests.

I have to say that Guo Sikong's hand took advantage of the situation, and he was really skilled in using the technique of four or two thousand catties.

With His Majesty's attitude, he took advantage of the situation and pressed hundreds of officials to ask for their lives.

There are also many officials under Guo Sikong's faction, kneeling down mightily, and the invisible oppressive force is full of hundreds of officials such as the Southern Patrol Dynasty.

This is forcing them to kneel, forcing them to self-destruct, forcing them to bow to the imperial power!

On the silent Taihe Palace, under the calm gaze of the emperor, Guo Sikong, and the remaining officials, the Southern Patrol Dynasty gritted its teeth and supported it, trying to find a way to break the situation.

But as a six-part scholar, he can still support the pressure, but others can't!

Finally, after a few breaths, a trembling voice came from the hundred officials: "Old minister...... Yao Chan, the head of the household, has seen Your Majesty, please forgive your Majesty for the sins of the old ministers, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

An old minister shouted with a face full of anxiety and fear, kneeling down and kowtowing, and his trembling voice clearly echoed in the court.

"Lao Yao, you ......"

The Southern Patrol Dynasty and the others were shocked, why did you run out and kneel! Isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall?

Nan Xunchao had a feeling in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head and saw Guo Sikong's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Lao Yao ..... It's Guo Sikong's people!

The Southern Patrol Dynasty suddenly woke up and was desperate in his heart.

It has long been rumored in the court that the three dukes compete for power with each other, and they have to install traitors in each other's faction camps, but Guo Sikong is low-key and gentle, and rarely exposes his hole cards.

Obviously, Yao Chan is Guo Sikong's person, and at the most fatal moment, he jumped out to bring the rhythm!

That's it......

The Southern Patrol sighed faintly.

Situ and Sima worked hard, but they really did useless work, who would have expected that Guo Sikong, who originally said that he would join forces with them, would actually fight back!

"Minister, Southern Tour, I've seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

In despair in his heart, Nanxun slowly knelt down and kowtowed, his voice trembling extraordinarily.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

"The minister has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

......

As the Southern Patrol Dynasty knelt down, all the officials knelt down in turn, the mountain shouted and saluted, bowed to the emperor, and the momentum of the hundred officials asking for their lives was gone, and there was no longer the aggressiveness before coming, and the insistence on the spot was to die.

This time there was a brief clash of power in the court, and the imperial power won a big victory.

But Su Chen did not relax, his eyes were still deep, and he looked at the Southern Patrol Dynasty and the others lightly.

This is just a pathfinder sent by Chen Situ and Wang Sima, Su Chen doesn't believe it, the two grand dukes have been in the court for a long time, and they are old and sophisticated, so they are just such a means to fight back.
