In this world, even the emperor does not have the personal protection of the six first-class masters of the rivers and lakes, but the prince has done it.

Emperor Qing, who stood at the pinnacle of power, did not have this kind of treatment, so why did the crown prince have this kind of treatment? Moreover, according to rumors, the six major attendants were respectful to him, giving people the feeling that even if Shangguan let them go to death, they would agree.

Can cultivate such an attendant, can the prince who stays in the East Palace all day long live in seclusion?

The crown prince, in the past, everyone just regarded the prince as a pustule who only knew how to have fun, but he occupied a good background and naturally became the heir of the Zhao State.

If Emperor Qing had other sons, the title of the prince would definitely not fall on Shangguan Xiaoyao.

But now that the court officials learned about the strength of the attendants around the prince, they no longer dared to look at the prince with the same eyes as before, and some people even felt that the prince was a hidden dragon, and now he was showing his edge and was about to soar.

A prince who can endure may have been secretly observing those people who are dissatisfied with him for a long time, right? Those who are dissatisfied with him have probably already been remembered by him, as long as he ascends the throne, I am afraid that those people will usher in a reckoning!

For a while, those ministers who had suggested abolishing the crown prince were all panicked at this time. Even if the people standing on this temple are all big people on the powerful side, every decision they make can affect the future direction of Zhao Guo, but it can't hide the fact that they are afraid in their hearts.

Above the Daxiong Treasure Hall, a middle-aged man wearing a first-class official uniform glanced at the imperial history opposite him, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said: "Lord Wang, you have been suggesting the abolition of the crown prince in recent days, and you have to talk about it almost every time the court meeting, I wonder if you still want to mention this suggestion today?"

When the imperial historian Dongyang heard this, he frowned and said, "There are other things today, and the matter of abolishing the prince is naturally not mentioned." ”

The middle-aged man mocked Wang Dongyang and said, "Haha, Lord Wang, are you afraid, right?" I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince's attendant would be a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, so you are afraid, right?"

When Wang Dongyang heard this, he said, "Captain Chen, I'm afraid of this matter, this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. I've always wanted to see you deflated, and I'm naturally overjoyed to see you down. ”

Captain Chen, the official residence of the first product, the main responsibility of the school is to supervise and report the illegal acts of the hundred officials of the Beijing division and the royal family.

It stands to reason that there should be no conflict between him and Wang Dongyang, the imperial historian who is second only to the prime minister in this position, and is in charge of impeachment and picketing official negligence, but between the two, no one can look down on anyone, so that now there is an opportunity to make Wang Dongyang deflated, and he naturally will not let it go.

Wang Dongyang simply ignored Chen Linfeng, closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Not long after, a young man dressed in a golden four-clawed python robe walked in at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, as soon as he appeared, all the chattering in the court immediately stopped, and everyone also looked at him, some people looked jealous, some people Gu Jing did not wave, and some people had fear in their eyes.

The prince came, and he came to the court only the day after he returned to the capital, which made everyone guess the purpose of his coming to the court.

In the past, the number of times the prince went to the early dynasty could be counted with one hand, but this time when he returned from the trip, he went directly to the early dynasty, which made everyone guess what his purpose was.

Shangguan Xiaoyao walked straight to his own position above the court hall and stood, not talking to others, just like a wooden stake.

No one took the initiative to talk to the prince, in the eyes of everyone, the prince's personality is withdrawn, usually except for staying in his own east palace, rarely go outside, and it is precisely for this reason that some people in the court suggested abolishing the prince and setting up a new prince.

Not long after the arrival of the crown prince, a shrill and long voice came: "The emperor has arrived!"

When everyone in the court heard this, they lowered their heads and bowed.

Emperor Qing stepped into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, immediately moved his eyes to Shangguan Xiaoyao's body, looked at Shangguan Xiaoyao in a four-clawed python robe, nodded, and then made his own dragon chair, and said to everyone: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

Emperor Qing's voice fell, and he stopped talking.

At this moment, the chief manager of Ouchi said according to the procedure: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat!"

Prime Minister Wen Fengqing took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that there is chaos in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, all the members of the Jianghu Sect of the Heavenly Cicada Sect have launched a large-scale acceptance of believers among the people, if it continues like this, this Heavenly Cicada Sect is afraid that it will become a country within a country!

The governor of Yongzhou also said at this time: "Your Majesty, the same is true of the land of Yongzhou, although there is no interference of the Heavenly Cicada Sect forces, but because of the vision from the sky, the Yongzhou cult has risen everywhere, and the cult doctrine is propagated everywhere, and the people are not happy!"

Jizhou Prefecture Mu also said: "Your Majesty, the Jizhou Snow Mountain Sword Sect sent its subordinates to preach in Jizhou, although the Snow Mountain Sword Sect did not participate in the surface, but the Snow God Sect that accepted believers in Jizhou was made by the Snow Mountain Sword Sect. These Jianghu sects have already rebelled on the occasion of this heavenly vision, and I ask Your Majesty to decide!"

The governor of Yongzhou and the governor of Jizhou all came to the capital to ask the emperor for help because of this vision from the sky, and there was an irresistible chaos in their own jurisdiction.

When Emperor Qing heard these reports, his eyes moved to Shangguan Xiaoyao's body, and said, "What does the prince think of this heavenly vision?"

He threw the question to the crown prince, which was a test for him.

But when the officials above the court heard this, they all looked sideways, and no one thought that the emperor would directly test the crown prince.

Could it be that Emperor Qing is going to focus on cultivating the crown prince? If this is the case, I am afraid that in the near future, the prince will become a figure of power leaning towards the government and the opposition.

Shangguan Xiaoyao actually didn't want to pay attention to these things, for him, the rebellion could be quelled with a backhand. He can't pose any threat to him, and if he really has power to the point where he can plot a position, he won't mind making a move at that time.

And now, the chaos in various places is a problem for the imperial court, but he doesn't take it to heart.

So he didn't even bother to answer this question, but since it was the emperor's father in his life who asked, he couldn't answer it, so he immediately said casually: "The state pastors, county guards, and county orders of all states are mobilized, but all the forces that spread the cult will be destroyed." ”

His words made the civil and military officials above the court look at each other after hearing it.

Is it as simple as you say?

If those chaotic forces can be suppressed, the state ministers who have chaos will not come all the way to report to this court.

Emperor Qing was also not satisfied with Shangguan Xiaoyao's answer, he was the future emperor of Zhao State, and he should think from all aspects. It is very easy to exterminate those cult forces, but how fast is the cult spreading? If a sect is exterminated, will it also destroy all the people who join that sect? If this is really done, the entire Zhao Kingdom will surely be ruined!

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you said it easily, if you destroy it, do you know how many people have participated in the cults? How many cults are there? If you really want to destroy those cults, I'm afraid there won't be much population left in the entire Zhao Kingdom!"

Yongzhou Prefecture was the first to stand up and accuse Shangguan of being carefree.

Glancing at the governor of Yongzhou, Shangguan said freely: "How did you deal with those cults in Yongzhou?"

The governor of Yongzhou replied: "Catch and kill! Catch a group, kill a group." ”

When Shangguan heard this, he said: "There are many sects, how many cults have been established in your Yongzhou? I'm afraid that the forces you have arrested are relatively weak, and the forces you have killed are relatively weak, right?"

Yongzhou Mu frowned, Shangguan Xiaoyao said that he was in the middle of his way of doing things, but he still nodded and said: "If you don't take these weak forces, will it be difficult to directly arrest those big forces?" His Royal Highness the Prince, my Yongzhou Shepherd is nervous, but I don't have the ability to start a war with those powerful cults in Yongzhou." ”

Shangguan said casually: "Then why don't you stand idly by? Since it is a cult, it will inevitably continue to spread its teachings." There will also be many conflicts between cults, so let them kill each other and wait to clean up the mess. ”

Shangguan's carefree answer made Yongzhou Mu dumbfounded. Is this still the crown prince of Zhao State? Doesn't he know that those cults are allowed to kill each other, and it is only ordinary people who are harmed!

As a state pastor, he naturally has the obligation to protect the people under his rule, even if they take the wrong path, but to correct them is, if they are really allowed to kill each other because of the problem of doctrinal disputes, then how many people will survive if the entire Yongzhou is killed?

And didn't you say before that you would directly exterminate those cult forces? Now, when you hear me say that I don't have enough manpower in Yongzhou, you say that you will let the cult forces kill each other? You are the crown prince and the future master of this country, how can you not take the lives of the common people seriously!

Above the court, the civil and military officials felt inappropriate about the prince's words, and those who wanted Emperor Qing to set up another prince really wanted to jump out and make a loud accusation.

Emperor Qing on the dragon chair was even more dissatisfied with Shangguan Xiaoyao's words, if he didn't have only this one son, he really wanted to abolish this prince and set up another prince.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, most of the people who join the cult are poor people, and they have only been bewitched for a while. ”

After a long time, the governor of Yongzhou spoke again, but his face was full of bitterness, and he was really shocked by the prince's words.

Shangguan Xiaoyao heard this and said, "Then dilute these things." As long as the people can maintain basic farming and act according to the rules of the law, it doesn't matter what denomination they believe. ”
