Section 40: The Battle of the Buddha Capital (3)

When Li Guangdi left the Buddha capital and went to Dalin Temple, at the same time, another meritorious person in the Buddha capital also ushered in Aoba, that is, Shi Lang, the marshal of the Buddha Kingdom, the legendary figure of the entire Buddha Kingdom and Li Guangdi. It is also a figure who failed to resist the Great Song Dynasty for two hundred years after the defeat of the Song Dynasty, and the King of Qi of the Great Song Dynasty once spoke highly of Shi Lang and admitted that he was the only military genius who could confront him.

Shi Lang sat in the hall of the Marshal's Mansion and looked at Aoba in the center of the hall without speaking, and the expression on his face that he was not angry and arrogant in the battlefield made Aoba have the illusion of being alone on the battlefield.

The two looked at each other like this, and after a long time, Shi Lang sighed, and his eyebrows were full of vicissitudes.

"It was Dalin Temple that single-handedly created the Buddha country, and it controlled the entire Buddha country for hundreds of years, and now Dalin Temple has made such a decision, if it fails, what can Dalin Temple bear?" Shi Lang said with a sigh.

Aoba was silent, just turned the Buddha bead in his hand, and looked at Shi Lang without any expression in his eyes.

Shi Lang got up and turned around to leave the hall, and after a while, he reappeared in the hall, but instead of a shirt on his body, he turned around and left the hall with a slight smile when Aoba saw it, and then Shi Lang followed Aoba and left the Marshal's Mansion.

On the second day of the court meeting, the emperor looked at the civil and military officials who were arguing with the low, and then looked at a resignation letter in front of him, his face was expressionless, but his heart was extremely angry, if Li Guangdi's departure was acceptable, then Shi Lang's departure made the emperor completely angry, and the anger was silent, like the calm before the storm.

In the court, because of Li Guangdi's departure, now the two parties of the emperor and queen are fighting hoarsely for the position of prime minister, and the hundred officials do not look at the emperor on the throne at this time, the whole court is as noisy as the market.

The emperor looked coldly at the hundreds of officials arguing in the court, and thought with a sneer in his heart: "If the news of Shi Lang's departure is announced, I don't know what it will look like."

After a while, maybe the hundred officials suddenly found that this was the court hall, and there was also the emperor, all of whom were silent in an instant, and they all looked at the people on the dragon chair.

The emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in an extremely cold tone, "Why don't you say it, it's so lively just now, it's like a market."

When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard the emperor's words, they all knelt on the ground in surprise, and all the imperial party trembled and knelt on the ground in great panic, and then the party looked scared, but the eyes were full of Mo Ran.

The emperor did not react to the ministers underground, but handed a note to a chamberlain beside him, who took the note and saw that the face on it was first startled and then instantly calmed down.

The chamberlain walked to the dragon case, looked at the face of the note in his hand, and then said loudly: "Shi Lang resigns as marshal"

The civil and military officials in the hall had surprised expressions on their faces after hearing the words of the chamberlain, and the civil and military officials of both the imperial party and the rear party had already begun to feel that there was something strange in this. If Li Guangdi's resignation as prime minister is because of the dispute between the emperor and the queen, then Shi Lang will not be for this reason, because Shi Lang is the queen mother's person, and he is the one who supports it.

The emperor on the dragon chair looked at the hundred officials kneeling on the ground, his eyes were so cold, the originally hot temperature was not the slightest heat in this hall, and the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground felt extremely cold, and they didn't dare to look at the person on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, whether it is the position of prime minister or marshal, please make a quick decision," said an older minister tremblingly.

After hearing this, the emperor thought that Wenchen sneered in his heart, that old minister was a person from the Ministry of Shangshu Wenzhen, and he was a person in the line of the Queen Mother.

And the people of the Queen Mother's line saw Wen Zhen's voice, and there were countless Wenwuchen of the Queen Mother's lineage who responded, because the Queen Mother thought that Wenchen was headed by Wenzhen and Wuchen was mainly Shi Lang. And now that Shi Lang has resigned as the marshal, only Wen Zhen can call the shots in the line of the Queen Mother, and although the other two Shangshu seem to be in the line of the Queen Mother, they are not a stable factor.

On the other side, the people of the imperial party just watched coldly and did not speak, if Li Guangdi's departure had some impact on the imperial party, then Shi Lang's departure was even more powerful for the imperial party.

The leader of the imperial party, Wenchen, was Yuan Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Lin Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but there were only a small number of military generals.

The emperor looked at the people of the Queen Mother's lineage below, and wrote a joint letter without any expression, and then stood up and said, "Retreat from the dynasty, six departments and nine Qings come to the Buddha Language Palace", and the ministers below left the hall without paying attention.

When the emperor left the main hall for a while, the hundred officials reacted, and then the three Jiuqing hurriedly went to the Buddha Language Hall.

The Buddha Hall is the place where the emperor receives his courtiers, and it is also the place where the emperor approves the folds.

At this time, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and drank the refreshments served by the chamberlain, and then looked at the six departments and Jiuqing in the main hall, and his face no longer had the cold expression at this time.

Among the six ministries and nine secretaries, the Wenchen who belonged to the emperor's lineage was obviously much more relaxed, and many people looked at the Wenchen of the Queen Mother's lineage with a sneer in their hearts.

The emperor took a sip of tea, then said with a smile: "Ministers, I don't know what suggestions you have for the candidates for the positions of prime minister and marshal."

At this time, the emperor did not have the coldness above the court meeting, and then he was like a spring breeze, giving people infinite gentleness.

The ministers of the six ministries and nine qing all looked at each other after hearing the emperor's words and did not speak, whether it was the emperor's line or the queen mother's line, they actually wanted to recommend their own people. But at this time, only these few people, plus the emperor, can't be like at the court meeting, and the queen mother is even more like a needle felt, and she feels inexplicably uneasy in her heart.

Although the emperor has a plan for the position of prime minister and marshal, the departure of Li Guangdi and Shi Lang also caught the emperor off guard, and now if he promotes himself to the top of his lineage, it will make the people of the Queen Mother's line rebound fiercely, because even if he has worked hard for more than ten years to let the Queen Mother eliminate some military power in the army, the Queen Mother's line still has absolute control of military power in the army, because the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.

"In this case, I will give you the position of candidate for three days, and I will give you the position of candidate for me in three days' meeting, and I will give you the opinion of the hundred officials on my candidate," the emperor said.

After hearing this, the officials of the six ministries and nine qing breathed a sigh of relief, while the people of the emperor's line showed doubts in their hearts, but then Yuan Shu and Lin Xiu understood the smile on their faces.

The emperor looked at everyone's reactions, smiled slightly, and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's go and discuss."

After hearing this, the Shangshu and Chang Qing of the six departments and Jiuqing saluted and retreated to the Buddha Language Hall.

The emperor looked at the six departments and Jiuqing and withdrew from the Buddha Language Hall, and then sneered in his heart, then put down the teacup in his hand and said to the attendant next to him, "Go to the Buddha Mother Hall"

At this time, the Queen Mother in the Buddha Mother Hall looked at the news of Shi Lang's departure in her hand, and her face was cold.
