Ying Kong on the dragon chair squinted his eyes and looked at Li Tai, but he didn't expect that Li Tai's forces had touched the business world, and it seemed that a large number of people in the business world had already thrown themselves into Li Tai.

This is not good news for Win-Void.

Not to mention what Li Tai will do with this large amount of funds, the business community alone controls the economic lifeline of the empire is enough to make Yingkong jealous.

If Li Tai gave an order, and merchants from all over the country raised prices and disrupted the empire's economy, then the empire would really be difficult to handle.

Ying Kongli's face was gloomy again, Wu Li hung high, and he looked like he didn't say anything; Gongsun Tinglei wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute and couldn't speak.

The situation in the empire has also undergone earth-shaking changes under Li Tai's words today, and some neutral people may choose to throw themselves into Li Tai.

Because Li Tai's influence in the court is incomparable, coupled with the people in the business world of the empire, even the emperor does not dare to move it easily.

Even though Yingkong Li controls the absolute military power of the empire, under the prosperous era, the military power can only be used for self-preservation, but it cannot increase the bargaining chips in political disputes.

With the military power in hand, Li Tai naturally did not dare to move to win the void, but above the court, Li Tai could counter the emperor with his control over the court.

Unless the current emperor dares to be like the first emperor, he will transfer troops into the court to boost the imperial power.

But does the emperor dare?

The First Emperor dared to do it because he had enough control over the empire, and no one dared to disobey him, but what if the current emperor won the void?

The court is almost controlled by Li Tai, and there is no world-class achievement of the first emperor sweeping the eight wildernesses, if the troops are transferred to the court, who will dare to enter the court as an official in the future?

What's more, if Yingkong Li wants to do this, how can the army generals let it go?

Once the next order is given, it means that he will hold absolute imperial power like the first emperor, will these generals agree?

The oppression of these officials by the absolute imperial power is too great, and no one wants to endure the words of the First Emperor a thousand years ago!

Therefore, now that the situation in the court has changed dramatically, Li Tai has the absolute upper hand, even if he wants to move Li Tai, I am afraid that it will cause constant disputes within the empire, especially now at the time when the major immortal sects and demon sects were born, Li Tai is even more fearless!

There was silence in the court for a while, only a few ministers were discussing in whispers, there were a large number of officials who were already optimistic about such a approach, which could not only increase their reputation, but also not damage their own interests, why not?

Ying Kongli swept away the expressions of the hundred officials below, and there was a plan in his heart, and now it was time for him to make a choice, either he agreed or he disagreed, and then argued with Li Tai.

But obviously now he can only agree, now the hundred officials are basically moved, it will be useless if he doesn't agree, and in the face of the general trend of the court, he can only give in!

Yingkong moved in the centrifugation, looked at Li Tai, and said: "Since the prime minister has already dealt with everything, there is no need to say more, but I think that fourteen days is still too rushed, and there is no such precedent before." Therefore, I thought that I could postpone the time to twenty days, I wonder what Zhu Aiqing thinks?"

The hundred officials quieted down again, in fact, this has nothing to do with them, anyway, there is no loss of their interests, this is just that the emperor said that he does not want to let it go, and it has nothing to do with them.

Gongsun Tinglei stood up and arched his hand: "The minister thinks that what His Majesty said is extremely true, so it is the best!"

It is also impossible to help Gongsun Tinglei, now he is a loyal supporter of the emperor on the surface, if he does not agree, I am afraid that no one will stand up first.

Immediately afterwards, all the people from the imperial lineage rushed up and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

And Wu Li still looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him at the moment.

Li Tai looked pensive, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of this matter, and asked the emperor to take a concubine earlier in order to attack the imperial lineage, so that everyone in the world could guess that the first emperor and the second emperor were both more than 30 days, why did they shrink when they came to Your Majesty?

Although there will be a statement from the imperial court, the treasury is abundant, so the matter of accepting concubines will be carried out in advance.

But how can the speculation of the people of the world be reduced like this?

There is no shortage of people in the world who are good at guessing people's hearts, once there is a guess, then the discussion in private is inevitable, at that time, all kinds of speculation are flying all over the sky, and he will do a little more behind the back, then the emperor's reputation will inevitably be shaken!

This is to let the emperor get in touch with the affairs of the harem in advance, so that the emperor will be anxious early, so that his attention to the court will definitely be weakened, which will help him further control the court.

And the delay of the win to twenty days does not seem to have a great impact on itself.

Fourteen days and twenty days are essentially no different, both are shorter than the previous two emperors, and do not affect his guidance of public opinion.

As for postponing the emperor's contact with the harem, to be honest, the second purpose is just incidental, and the first purpose is what he really wants to do.

And for the second purpose, fourteen days, twenty days, and thirty days, there is no difference.

What's the use of being a few days early?

Li Tai naturally guessed the intention of winning the void, but he just wanted to send a signal that the emperor would not let Li Tai go unchecked, and used it to appease the hearts of the emperor's people.

Li Tai is now also in a decision, whether to agree or keep his opinion.

If he agrees, there will definitely be people who say that he listens to the emperor, which is not good for his own department, and may cause people to be restless, and his prestige may also be weakened because of this!

But if he kept his own thoughts, the emperor would definitely not agree, he knew this emperor too well, and this emperor would not let the phrase "the emperor listen to his ministers" come out of him.

Then if the opinions of the two sides cannot reach a unity, the emperor can logically suppress this matter, which is probably what the emperor wants to see!

Then Li Tai's previous running around for this matter was in vain, you know, in order to get people in the business world to agree, he paid a lot of price!

So the most difficult person to choose now turned from the emperor to Li Tai.

Li Tai took a deep look at the young emperor on the high platform, this emperor was about to use his Legalist spells to the extreme, and now he, the authentic Legalist heir, had no way to use the Legalist doctrine to refute, the emperor had forced him to death, no, it should be Li Tai himself who had forced himself to death!

The emperor only used Li Tai's momentum to use techniques, making it difficult for Li Tai to choose.

Now the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are looking at Li Tai, and now it depends on Li Tai's choice, Li Tai is now in a dilemma, once he makes a choice, he will inevitably lose.

But if you think about it carefully, whether it is the emperor or Li Tai, in this matter, there will inevitably be profits and losses, but how much profit and how much loss, it depends on the operation of these two parties in the later period.

Li Tai weighed it in his heart for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, and the ministers have no objections!"

Immediately afterwards, a large number of people poured out, all of whom said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers have no objections!"

This time the people are not as deafening as a large number of people just now, just like a few people just now.

This can also let people know why Yingkong has to get rid of Li Tai, with such a powerful minister in the court, I am afraid that any emperor will be uneasy!

Then Wu Li also stood up and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

A few more people came out and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

Now, the imperial line headed by Gongsun Tinglei, the Li family headed by Li Tai, and the neutral line headed by Wu Li have all reached a consensus and have all chosen to agree.

Immediately won the empty order, and said: "Order, the daughter of the world who has the ambition to enter the palace can take a short rest, and at the latest twenty days, all must arrive at the imperial capital." All the travel expenses in the middle will be paid by my Great Qin Imperial Court!"

The civil and military officials all leaned over and said, "The ministers obey the order!"

Immediately afterwards, Ying Kongli asked again: "What else is there to do with you Aiqing?"

Then a small official stood up and said a trivial matter, and then there was a debate, and the emperor, Gongsun Tinglei, Wu Li and Li Tai remained unmoved, allowing a few small birds in the rear to quarrel.

This is the practice of the court, they have long been familiar with it, and these bad things do not have much impact on the three of them, so they only need to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Sure enough, the emperor was angry as usual, slapped the handle of the chair, and said: "This is the Great Qin Dynasty, not a folk vegetable market, look at you, where is the image of the minister of the court!"

You really make my heart ache! Is this how my Great Qin officials are?"

The ministers who were arguing in the rear hurriedly leaned over and said, "The ministers are guilty!"

Ying Kong flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Wait until you go back and reflect on it, and take a good look at my Daqin's way of being an official!"

The minister leaned over again and said, "Your Majesty, please condemn you!"

Ying Kong stood up and said angrily: "You guys go and reflect on yourself! If all my Great Qin officials only know about quarrels, then my Great Qin should have been abolished a long time ago!"

After speaking, Ying Kong Li left angrily, Zhao Ling hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" and then chased after Ying Kong Li!

There are only those helpless ministers left, and acting every day is not so simple! The key is that they are still playing the side that is scolded.

They couldn't help but slander in their hearts, this emperor was afraid that he didn't take all the anger he had suffered from Li Tai on them!

But they also think about it, how dare they say it!

The ministers walked out of the main hall one after another, and several ministers entered the side hall with Li Tai, including those of the imperial family, those of the neutral line, and those of the Li family.

Li Tai, as the prime minister, the head of the civil and military officials, he also has to personally supervise such major events as the emperor's concubine's decree, and the people in charge of these are naturally all three forces, which is also what the emperor is happy to see.

Not only that, although the Li family is in the court, the emperor still tries his best to insert people from the three forces in various departments, so that he can rest assured.

As for Gongsun Tinglei and Wu Li, it was not their turn to ask about this kind of thing, they looked at each other and left one after another!

......

In another place in the imperial capital, Ying Kongchen waited for the decision from the court with a worried face, and didn't even dare to go out.

Knock knock

A knock on the door interrupted Ying Kongchen's thoughts, and the door of Ying Kongchen opened, and the person who came was Zhao Ling, who had just followed Ying Kong and left the next dynasty.

Ying Kongchen looked at Zhao Ling with a nervous face and asked, "Zhao Fu Ling, I don't know how the imperial court handles it?"

Zhao Ling looked at Ying Kongchen with a smile, waved the golden holy decree in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, little prince, our family is here to announce the decree." ”

Hearing this, Ying Kongchen looked at the holy decree with a respectful face, and Zhao Ling also put away his smile, his face was full of seriousness, and said: "Emperor Edict, said: Zhenbei Wang Shizi Ying Kongchen used his spiritual power in the bazaar yesterday to violate my Great Qin law, but because he was moved by his lover, he was dealt with as appropriate!"

Receive a one-year royal allowance and confine him for three days after proposing, as a respectful example!"

After a few breaths, Zhao Ling asked with some doubts: "Little prince, why don't you accept the order?"

Ying Kongchen asked with a puzzled expression: "Zhao Fuling, this is gone?"

Zhao Ling nodded and said, "It's gone!" As he spoke, he carefully checked the holy decree to make sure that he had not missed it, and then said, "There is indeed no more!"

Win Kongchen looked incredulous, and the punishment was here?

Zhao Ling coughed lightly and reminded: "Ahem, little prince, it's time to take the order!"

Only then did Ying Kongchen come back to his senses, and he hurriedly took the holy decree respectfully with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Ying Kongchen received the holy decree, Zhao Ling no longer had a serious face, looked at Ying Kongchen with a smile on his face, and said, "Little prince, our family's affairs have been done, so we will retire first!"

Ying Kongchen hurriedly said: "It's really troublesome Zhao Fuling!"

Zhao Ling responded: "Don't bother, don't bother, our family will go back first, Your Majesty still has a lot of things to deal with." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ying Kongchen looked at the back of Zhao Ling leaving, and then looked at the holy decree in his hand, it was really excited on his face, he didn't expect the punishment to be this, he knew that it was so simple, did he need to worry about it all morning?

However, then Ying Kongchen's face was a little bad, presumably in order to make himself less punished, the imperial brother Ying Kongli must have made a lot of efforts, and he may even have paid a price that he didn't know.

Ying Kongchen walked back to the room, put the holy decree away, and secretly pinched the patrol envoy summoning order in his hand, a little helpless.

I owe too much to my brother, so I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to push off this errand when my father comes!

Thinking of this, Ying Kongchen couldn't wait to cut off his hands, why was he so impulsive yesterday, but now it's okay, this patrol envoy is a must for him!

Win Kongchen felt more and more that he was crazy yesterday, and originally thought that after his hob father came to the imperial capital, let him enter the palace and tell the imperial brother to push off this errand!

Not anymore!

Although I don't know how much the imperial brother has paid for this almost nothing-than-nothing punishment, but it is bound to be a lot if I think about it, and I don't know yet, when the time comes, it will not be what the imperial brother says.

owes so much to the imperial brother, so when his father comes to the imperial capital, I'm afraid he will be embarrassed to enter the palace to push it away!

Ying Kongchen sighed deeply, he hadn't told Ying Yuanming about it yet, because the inspection was too important, he didn't dare to say such news by means of interrogation, if it was intercepted by some people, then his head was afraid that it would not be taken off by his imperial brother!

If my father knew that he had served as an inspector, I don't know if he would have slaughtered himself!

Ying Kongchen sighed deeply, everyone in the world said that the most honorable person in Great Qin besides the emperor was the king of Zhenbei. But how did they know the panic in the hearts of the kings of Zhenbei in the past?

The emperor will not believe the king of Zhenbei, the court will not believe the king of Zhenbei, they are all using and beware of the king of Zhenbei, and the same is true of the king of Zhenbei in the past dynasties, I can't believe the court, I can't believe the emperor, only in their own fiefdom, with the confidence of 100,000 private troops, can they have a little peace of mind!

But even so, they didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction with the emperor's intentions and dissatisfaction with the imperial court, because in addition to their 100,000 private troops in Liaozhou, there were also 300,000 imperial army that went north to resist the demon clan!

You must know that the original 300,000 troops were all on the border between Liaozhou and the Demon Domain, but during the time of the Second Emperor, the Second Emperor transferred the 150,000 troops into Liaozhou on the grounds that the northern frontier was slightly stable, and it was very close to the 100,000 private army of the King of Zhenbei.

Such a move is self-evident!

Anyone can see that the second emperor is on guard against the Zhenbei king's lineage, if the Zhenbei king wants to rebel, he must also consider the 300,000 troops stationed in Liaozhou, or the 150,000 troops next to the private army camp!

In fact, Ying Kongchen can also understand the second emperor, the first emperor didn't know why, left a testament, first let the eldest son inherit the throne and named his most beloved youngest son as the king of Zhenbei, and also sealed a huge fiefdom.

This naturally made the second emperor vigilant, because before the first emperor died, there were rumors that the first emperor might be interested in his youngest son inheriting the throne, because at that time, the first emperor would take his younger son with him wherever he went, and more importantly, his youngest son was also very outstanding in military affairs, which made the first emperor very loved.

Therefore, the throne was not stable after the second emperor ascended the throne, and the main reason was that the half-brother of the second emperor, King Zhenbei, that is, Ying Kongchen's grandfather Ying Hai.

It is said that in the imperial capital at that time, a large number of people said that the second emperor was unauthorized to change the edict, but in fact, it was Zhenbei Wang Yinghai who really deserved to ascend the throne!

Even at that time, a large number of officials demanded to welcome back Zhenbei Wang Yinghai and let the second emperor abdicate!

I have to say that these heads are really iron, and I dare to say this, I don't know that the emperor has always been ruthless?

Therefore, after the second emperor ascended the throne, he killed a large number of officials who secretly advocated that Zhenbei Wang Yinghai return to the imperial capital and ascend the throne as the emperor.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the second emperor was jealous of the king of Zhenbei, and after the birth of the prince of Zhenbei, he asked to come to the imperial capital to accompany the prince.

Then the 150,000 army was also stationed not far from the private army camp of the king of Zhenbei.

With this experience, the kings of Zhenbei in all dynasties began to be jealous of the emperor and the court, for fear of the court, the emperor gave an order, and an army of 150,000 rushed into the palace and cut off all the heads of the Zhenbei kings!
