Although Lord Shangshu Ge of the Ministry of Officials is a person of the Virtuous King, it is the first time that he has blatantly counterattacked the decision of the pro-emperor faction, and his attitude is even more suspicious. King Xian's party is unusual, so that the pro-emperor faction is cautious, for fear that King Xian will raise the banner of rebellion today.
When Gu Xiang heard this, he was furious in his heart, with his prestige in the court, he couldn't imagine that someone would openly contradict him, and his official was one level higher than that of Lord Ge, and Lord Ge did not have a clear word, which was already a serious contempt for the imperial power. At that moment, Gu Xiangshi said sharply: "Ge Shangshu, what a great official, above the court hall of the Jinluan Palace, in front of the saint, I didn't know that Lu Dao said the words first, but bluntly refuted it, do you still have the saint in your eyes, and the old man?
Then, Gu Xiang turned around, looked at Zhao Qi, and asked about the decision, but Zhao Qi did not say anything, obviously acquiescing to Gu Xiang's approach, although it is impossible to punish Lord Ge, but Lord Ge is a person of King Xian, and if he wants to punish his important members in front of King Xian, then King Xian's face will inevitably be swept away.
Gu Xiang got the approval of the saint, his heart was stirred, he was loyal to the imperial power, he had long hated King Xian, in his eyes, King Xian had already been a heinous thief, he could cut out King Xian's wings, and there was nothing happier than this.
At that moment, Gu Xiangshi said in a deep voice: "Come on, Ge Qiong, the official secretary of the ministry, openly despises the saint, he has committed a capital crime, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and his official position is extremely high, and he has contributed to the court over the years, so he will be exempted from the major crime of the Nine Clans, and only one person will be beheaded, and he will be dragged out of the noon gate and beheaded!"
"Yes!" The tall guards outside the hall responded to the call, but Master Ge was not in a hurry, and looked at the Xianwang who had not spoken, and the Xianwang shook his head lightly, still standing to the side.
Seeing that King Xian shook his head, Lord Ge knew what he meant, took a step forward, changed his previous arrogance, knelt in the hall, and said respectfully: "Holy Lord, please forgive your subordinates for their recklessness, but I just think that Gu Xiang's request to take back the military power of the royal family is not considered, which is related to the stability of the country, so the subordinates are reckless, please punish the saint." ”
Zhao Qi's face was calm, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow, but the sharp eyes he shot let people know that he was not as calm as he appeared, it can be seen that the action of looking at King Xian before Lord Ge said these words was already in the eyes of the saint, although Zhao Qi was angry in his heart, but he couldn't vent it on Lord Ge, because Lord Ge had already admitted his mistake, and the reason was more related to the stability of the country, and his identity was also a member of the first rank in the court, this situation made Zhao Qi unable to deal with him, and now, Zhao Qi's face was finally a little gloomy.
Seeing Zhao Qi's uncertain complexion, King Xian was secretly happy in his heart, and leisurely stroked the jade wat in his hand, as if he didn't care about the changes in the hall.
After a while, Zhao Qi finally said majestically: "It is understandable to remember Lord Ge's hard work and dedication to the country, but I still ask Ge Aiqing to tell the reason, if you can't say it, you can commit a living crime." ”
"Obey!" Lord Ge still lowered his head and said respectfully, "Just now Gu Xiang proposed to take back the military power of all the royal family, and then put it in charge of the Holy Lord, and the subordinates think it is not feasible for three reasons: First, if it is forbidden for the royal family to keep their family soldiers privately, then what should the people of the royal family who live outside the inner courtyard of the palace do, if they encounter a bad person, there is no soldier to save them, and if the royal family dies, it will definitely cause damage to the monarchy!"
Zhao Qi's face sank, and he had to admit in his heart that the first reason for Master Ge was the biggest problem, and such incisive words made Zhao Qi also have some expectations, that is, he said: "What about after that?"
"Second, the saint's physical strength is limited, and his energy is limited, if the saint withdraws his military power, he must practice and fight on the front line of the war, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and if there is a war, the generals are still needed. Lord Ge talked eloquently, his eyes were full of deep meaning, "Third, for a long time, the Praetorian Guard has been led by King Xian, and many of the backbone generals in the court are from King Xian's disciples. ”
The royalist party has long been impatient, and Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, retorted: " Lord Ge's words are wrong, the first point is that the saint also instructed that if you build a house in the capital and gather all the people of the royal family here, you can avoid the scourge of the evildoers, and secondly, it is not that the general cannot lead troops, but you can't bring troops privately, everything is based on the saint, and the third point is that my dynasty has always been a state of etiquette, admired by all nations, and congratulated from all over the world, how can there be a sudden war, and the army is to serve the king, I don't know if what I said is feasible?"
As soon as Lord Liu's voice fell, Lord Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, leaned out, bowed to the saint, and said, "Your lordship, the subordinates dare not agree with Lord Liu's statement. ”
"Oh? Although Zhao Qi was disgusted with King Xian's party, he had to let Master Li tell him.
Lord Li straightened up, tilted his head slightly, bowed slightly to King Xian, and waited for King Xian to respond, then said: "It is true that my dynasty is a state of etiquette, but so it is complacent, and there is no sense of precaution against the outside world, it is a mistake, and the heart of the barbarians is sinister and must not be guarded against, and King Xian has lived in the military camp for a long time, and he is very prestigious in the military camp. The subordinate is still the secretary of the military department, and I dare to ask the saint to take back his order!"
After speaking, Lord Li knelt on the ground sincerely, and Zhao Qi hesitated a little, and after listening to the advice of Lord Li and Master Ge, he pondered in his heart.
And just as the Holy Lord and several royalists were thinking about how to refute Lord Li's words, King Xian was using his internal strength and chanting in his mouth: "This is the time for you to act!"
Such a voice exploded in the ears of all the ministers at the same time, which made everyone suspicious, but when everyone came back to their senses and knew that it was the virtuous queen, they admired the virtuous king even more, how could the virtuous king with such skills be subservient to others, and everyone was really sure that the virtuous king would definitely take his place.
Suddenly, all the ministers of His Royal Highness seemed to have discussed it, and they knelt down on the ground together, shouting: "Please take back the order of the Holy Lord!" In addition to the royalist faction, all the ministers in the palace actually knelt on the ground, and the momentum was huge, such a change surprised Zhao Qi and the royalist faction, and they did not expect that King Xian had already received the support of so many important ministers of the court.
Zhao Qi turned his head, looked at Gu Xiang, and asked for help, Gu Xiang was also sad at this time, but just when the Holy Lord and the royalist faction were at a loss, the virtuous king, who had been silent, issued a word.
"Please depose my throne and take back my military power!" said King Xian in a deep voice.
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a thunderbolt in the temple.
