Chapter 67: The Court Controversy
In a blink of an eye, three days have passed, and Ying Kongchen entered the palace again, waiting for the court to win Kong and end the early dynasty.
In the court, Ying Kongli was full of solemnity, and said: "Presumably all of you Aiqing know that the Heavenly Sword Sect will open the mountain tomorrow to accept disciples, although it is not as high-profile as the Qingdao Sect, but it has also come to inform the imperial court, how should the imperial court deal with it?"
Most of the people in the hall nodded, in fact, no one knew the news of the Heavenly Sword Sect's entry into the WTO except for the three dukes and the emperor, but fortunately, before the court this morning, Li Tai first released the news, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about it.
Li Tai's eyes lit up, and an official stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this matter only needs to be like the Qing Dao Sect, and send an imperial envoy to watch the ceremony." ”
Ying Kongli smiled coldly, and then said, "Oh, another assassination of the imperial envoy? and then another slap in the face of my Great Qin Imperial Family?"
The official's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister did not mean this! This time we need to increase the protective measures for the imperial envoy!"
The official wiped the cold sweat on his face, glanced at Li Tai secretly, and was even more frightened in his heart.
Who doesn't know that the last time the imperial envoy was assassinated, the final responsibility was Li Tai, and this time he brought it up, what would Li Tai think of him? Did he deliberately give the emperor an excuse to suppress Li Tai?
Sure enough, as he expected, the emperor ignored him, but brought up the old matter again, and said: "Prime Minister, what do you think? The last time the Qing Daozong Emperor assassinated him, it was you who said that the strong people in the imperial capital could not be mobilized, which led to this incident. This time, does the prime minister think that the masters of the imperial capital can be transferred?"
Li Tai's face sank, glanced at the official, and said secretly, waste!
Then he raised his feet and walked out, arching his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this time there will definitely not be such a thing as last time, last time Your Majesty used strength and quickly washed the assassin and his backstage in blood, the world has woken up, and others dare not make any more moves!"
The Manchu Dynasty was shocked, this was still against the emperor? Isn't it obvious what happened last time? If Your Majesty assassinates again, how can you sit firmly in the position of prime minister?
In fact, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are not fools, they have already thought about the last time, the Qing Daozong stood by and watched, the appearance of Baili Tenghai, if it was not the emperor's means, the emperor could be assassinated so easily?
Ying Kongli was not annoyed, but asked rhetorically: "Oh? What does the prime minister mean, the master of the imperial capital still can't be called?"
Li Tai bowed his hand again, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the masters above the Divine Soul Realm of the Imperial Capital are all performing their duties, if they are rashly called, the major affairs of the Imperial Capital will inevitably pile up! The affairs of the Imperial Capital cannot be handled, and all departments will be in chaos!"
Ying Kongli smiled coldly and said, "I really don't know that I can cause such a big consequence by doing this, is it because I didn't think about it?"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to respond, only Li Tai continued: "Of course, Your Majesty is not thoughtless, I think that the last assassination was quite impressive in Your Majesty's heart, so Your Majesty can not forget it, so I didn't think about it in a hurry. ”
Li Tai looked indifferent, but there were already a few drops of cold sweat on the faces of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, even Gongsun Tinglei and Wu Li.
Li Tai was so bold today, and he had a direct confrontation with the emperor to win Kongli, and he didn't give face at all.
You know, is this young emperor the lord who is being bullied?
Sure enough, Ying Kongli's face had sunk, and he said, "Hehe, the prime minister will answer, I just asked, can this person be adjusted!"
Li Tai's face was still indifferent, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just said that all the powerhouses above the Divine Soul Realm are all performing their duties and cannot be called, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"
Although Li Tai's face is calm now, in fact, he is also a little apprehensive in his heart, he is so against the emperor, if the emperor is angry, I am afraid that he will have to kneel on this hall!
But Li Tai didn't have a choice, the transfer of the imperial capital masters involved too widely, although only one person was transferred, but if the emperor called it once, then it would be called a second time, Qin Fa made it clear that except for the royal family, all the other imperial capital masters had to go through the court and the prime minister!
Once Yingkong is called this time, then it is tacitly accepted to let the emperor intervene in the matter of the master of the imperial capital, you know, the power of this matter has always been in his hands, once the emperor really intervenes, then the consequences can be imagined.
There is no doubt about this matter, so whether it was last time or this time, he couldn't agree to the transfer of the imperial capital's masters, as for the reason he said, it was just a matter of saying it to prevaricate the emperor!
Moreover, the master of the imperial capital is a guarantee in the imperial capital, once the emperor has bad intentions, then this master of the imperial capital will be a talisman for him!
Therefore, he resolutely must not let the emperor intervene in it, otherwise, he may not even be able to guarantee his own life!
Li Tai knows better than anyone that in this world, nothing is more important than strength, not even power, if you don't have your own strength, how can you keep this power?
Li Tai's eyes were firm, and the call of the masters of the imperial capital must not allow Ying Kongli to intervene in it.
Yingkong looked coldly, and sneered in his heart, whether it was last time or this time, he was just tempting, but Li Tai did not let go, sure enough, in Li Tai's heart, what is the emperor of himself?
Ying Kongli looked at Li Tai coldly and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't call it." ”
Ying Kongli's words made everyone in the court puzzled, including Li Tai, shouldn't he take the opportunity to tell the assassination of the imperial envoy last time, take the opportunity to lose his temper, and then seize the power of some imperial capital masters by the way?
It's just that the words of Ying Kong Li Youyou made their hearts tighten, and Ying Kong Li Youyou said: "I originally wanted to call the imperial capital master Yu as the imperial envoy to protect the face of my royal family and my Great Qin, but what can I do, the prime minister is not allowed, I am the emperor naturally have to listen to the prime minister." However, since the prime minister is not allowed to call the masters of the imperial capital, then I will call my cuiting guards, I don't know if you Aiqing, can you?"
As soon as Ying Kongli's words fell, a sentence of voice sounded in the court.
"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing, how can you put Your Majesty's safety out of the way?"
"Your Majesty, the Second Emperor has decreed that once you become the guardian of the Cui Ting and the palace, then you will defend the Emperor forever, and you must not step out of the palace and the Cui Ting for half a step!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, those guards even met their parents in the palace in private, how can they let them leave the palace and Cuiting, or even leave the imperial capital?"
"Your Majesty, the ancestral system cannot be abolished!"
"Your Majesty, there must be no precedent for this matter!"
......
Gongsun Tinglei and Li Tai were silent about this matter, on the contrary, Wu Li, who had always stood neutral, led a pair of imperial historians to oppose winning the void.
However, Li Tai's face was not happy, but his face was ugly, which seemed to be Wu Li helping him oppose the emperor, but in fact, Wu Li helped the emperor win the void.
However, Li Tai did not blame Wu Li for the idea, because Li Tai knew that this was Wu Li's duty, and Wu Li could only become a pawn in the emperor's hands.
It seems that Wu Li is helping Li Tai, but Li Tai knows that all this is just the emperor's calculation to win the void!
Now Ying Kongli is forcing him to make a choice, either agree to win Kong Li to call the imperial capital master and intervene in the matter of the imperial capital master's call, or agree to win Kong Li to call Cui Ting and the palace guards.
Neither of these Li Tai wanted to agree.
But there was no way, and now he was faced with a choice.
Naturally, he didn't want Ying Kong Li to get involved in the call of the imperial capital master, but the guards of the Cuiting Palace, he didn't want Ying Kong to be called either!
You must know that there are many masters in Cuiting and the Imperial Palace, and even he suspects that there is still the existence of the Nine Realms Ascending Immortal Realm!
On weekdays, these masters are imprisoned by the words of the second emperor, as long as they don't send someone to the palace to die, then it's fine.
But once he agrees to let the emperor call these palace and cuiting's guards to leave the palace and cuiting, then it means that the emperor will have a large number of masters at his disposal, and they are still in the imperial capital, how can he be at peace in his heart!
Don't think that the emperor said this call, then only once, Li Tai knows deeply that once the call is successful this time, then in the future, the emperor will show the second emperor's words as nothing, this kind of rule, as long as it is broken, there is no possibility of recovery!
And Wu Li also had a wry smile on his face, he also knew these things, but there was no way, this was his duty, if he didn't do it, then it would be a crime of negligence!
Of course, the emperor will not say it, but what about the others? They will not let go of this good opportunity, the people of the emperor and the Li family will use this matter as an excuse to attack him, so Wu Li has to stand up!
Wu Li sighed deeply in his heart, there is no way, in this matter, he can only be a chess piece, and then it depends on how Li Tai chooses.
Although Wu Li thought a lot in his heart, he didn't stop, and still wailed with the imperial histories behind him: "Your Majesty, take back your life!"
"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
......
Ying Kongli's face was full of anger, and he roared angrily: "What do you mean? The prime minister does not allow me to call the masters of the imperial capital, so I don't even have the right to call the guards of the Imperial Palace and the Cuiting?"
Wu Li could only bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the ancestral rules cannot be abolished!"
Ying Kong snorted coldly and roared angrily: "Can't you abolish it?"
The ministers hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare!"
Ying Kongli waved his hand and said, "I have decided, this time to escort the imperial envoy, I will hand it over to my guards, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?"
This time, Wu Li didn't stop it again, and he didn't dare to support the matter of slapping the emperor in the face and Da Qin's face.
The eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at Li Tai, the play between Wu Li and the emperor had been performed, and the next thing was Li Tai's choice.
Li Tai sighed deeply, stood up, and said, "What Your Majesty said, the minister has no objection!"
