Chapter 457: Master of Water Stirring
The ever-bright lanterns were lit in the hall of nourishing the heart, and the four corners of the hall had begun to arrange ice cubes to block the summer heat, and the cool air flow blew into the face along the wind that came in from the entrance of the hall, which was very comfortable.
Shangguan Li narrowed his eyes quite comfortably.
However, the people standing beside her were not as leisurely as her, Feng Sibei's always calm and unhurried temperament was a little more restrained, revealing some hidden edges.
At this moment, there is no Manchu Dynasty civil and military in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and there are only five people counting the emperor, two princes, Shangguan Li and Gao Yong.
Originally, the emperor only called Shangguan Li and Gao Yong, and those two came with a dead face.
However, in Shangguan Li's view, it is understandable.
"Shao Yang, do you know what His Highness said, I can cure your sins today?"
The emperor took a sip of the tea that Gao brought up and said slowly.
Shangguan Li saluted.
"Shao Yang knows that His Majesty will not do this."
"Oh?"
The emperor's voice sank.
"Is it that I have indulged you too much in recent days to make you so presumptuous!"
Shangguan Li was not frightened, and said lightly.
"Your Majesty forgives you, but Shao Yang said this for a reason. Because Shao Yang knew what His Majesty really wanted, he said this. ”
After a pause, seeing that the emperor had no intention of stopping her from continuing, she continued.
"Just now in the Zichen Palace, His Royal Highness King Yu once said that His Majesty has paid the most attention to practical matters since he ascended the throne. Shao Yang felt that what His Royal Highness said was right, there is no second law in the court, and the current laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are personally controlled by His Majesty, and Lord Gao acts according to the laws, but he has to be criticized, doesn't he take His Majesty in his eyes? ”
Feng Sichen, who came to watch the play and made trouble by the way, didn't expect to hear more positive words about himself from Shangguan Li's mouth, and raised his eyes in surprise.
But Shangguan Li looked ahead, and didn't mean to look at him at all, but by the way, he made eye contact with Feng Sibei.
The two rivals both sent each other a smirk, but they didn't know how many times Ling Chi had been late.
"Heh, as Shao Yang said, it's really for my sake."
The emperor chuckled lightly and did not comment much on her words.
"Gao Qing, I see that you are extremely silent today, what's wrong?"
Gao Yong's back was straight, and the expression on his face did not change.
"What the minister wants to say has been said in the palace, and the minister has a clear conscience. And since His Majesty has handed over this matter to the minister, he believes in the minister, and of course the minister has nothing to say. ”
"Hmph, if you say that, it seems that I can't believe you anymore."
Although there was blame in the emperor's tone, there was not much anger on his face.
Seeing that if it continued like this, this time it might really leave Shangguan Xun a chance to breathe, Feng Sibei couldn't help but speak.
"Father's ......"
"Alright."
The emperor interrupted him lightly.
"I have my own decision on this matter, so go down first. Shao Yang stayed. ”
Feng Sibei was stunned, although he was annoyed in his heart, he still tried his best to suppress it, and bowed with grievances.
"Yes, Father."
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Shangguan Li, whose eyes were clear and clear, fearless and fearless. As if she wasn't the one who temporarily changed the hexagram.
Soon, the three of them left, and only the emperor and Shangguan Li were left in the Heart Cultivation Palace, plus a high father-in-law who had no sense of existence.
"Your Majesty left Shaoyang, but you still have something to say?"
The emperor raised his hand, and a small note appeared in his hand.
"Isn't it Shaoyang, do you have something you want to tell me?"
That was the news that Shangguan Li sent to the palace yesterday.
Shangguan Li smiled.
"Your Majesty can give Shao Yang this opportunity, Shao Yang is very grateful."
"Don't be flamboyant, say, what do you want to say to me?"
Shangguan Li did not hesitate and said straight.
"Shangguan Xun can't have an accident now."
The emperor didn't react when he heard this, and the father-in-law Gao, who was waiting, had already changed his face. This county lord is inevitably too bold.
"Shaoyang, half of the reason why I have indulged you so far is because of your mother's life-saving grace back then, and the other half is because you have contributed to my detoxification......"
The emperor's voice was faint, but with a full sense of oppression.
"But if you think you can rely on these two favors to do whatever you want in front of me, then you are very wrong."
"Shao Yang doesn't dare."
Shangguan Li lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes brushed across her snow-white eyelids, casting a faint shadow.
"Shao Yang wants to ask Your Majesty a question, do you trust Lord Gao?"
"I naturally trust Gao Yong, but even so, Shangguan Xun's charge of contempt for the emperor's authority can't be avoided, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the position of the prime minister should be changed."
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"Your Majesty, this is what Shao Yang said. Shangguan Xun's position as prime minister cannot be lost. ”
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Shao Yang knows."
Shangguan Li looked serious and said word by word.
Shao Yang watched the court situation from the sidelines, and roughly knew what kind of situation His Majesty wanted. Checks and balances and confrontation are the best choices for Your Majesty. ”
The emperor's expression was dark, but it did not stop her from continuing.
"Then Your Majesty should know that Shangguan Xun is the person from His Royal Highness King Yu, once Shangguan Xun is gone, His Royal Highness King An is powerful, and now that the King of Zhenbei has died of illness, the critical time of instability in the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil. When His Majesty wants to control it again, it will take a lot more effort than it does now. ”
"Bold, are you trying to ignore the facts and take sides?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Li smiled lightly in his heart.
If she really had the heart to refute it, what would be the foothold of ignoring the facts, she would have been charged with arbitrarily discussing the government and politics.
"How can Your Majesty be sure that what Lord Gao said is the truth?"
Hearing this, the emperor frowned, and he didn't understand what Shangguan Li meant.
"Shao Yang means that you lied above the court?"
Shao Yang was terrified.
Shangguan Li hurriedly lowered his head, but there was no trace of panic in his drooping eyes.
"Your Majesty is above, how dare Shao Yang lie."
"And what do you mean by that?"
She said leisurely.
"Is there a possibility that Shao Yang and Master Gao are indeed not lying, but what we think is correct is not necessarily true, for example, those evidences are actually intentionally discovered by Lord Gao."
The emperor frowned deeply.
"You can't tell if the evidence is real or fake?"
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"Although Shao Yang has experienced it personally, what Master Mu said is right, Shao Yang was still young at that time, and his memory of many things was blurred, and it was just a last resort to say so firmly in the court."
"I had to ...... How so? ”
