Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 333 How can the court be handed over to these people?
When Changsun Tao stepped into the court, everyone looked at him a little strangely. Without squinting, he walked straight to the throne, knelt down on one knee towards the supreme position of the lord of ten thousand chariots, and said, "I pay homage to your majesty."

Seeing Changsun Tao's respectful look, Emperor Jiayou showed a happy expression.

This is the benefit of power. No matter how high King Qi's prestige is in the army and how respected he is by others, no matter how straight King Qi stands in front of thousands of troops and how he raises his arms and calls for submission from the world, in front of him as the emperor, he still has no power. You have to bend your knees and be a groveling dog.

Emperor Jiayou got to the point directly: "I know you are recuperating from your injuries, and I didn't want to disturb you, but the censors insist on saying that you are treasonous. How do you explain it?"

Duke Cheng'en said with his sleeves: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you are His Majesty's brother. If you rebel against your brother, you will be punished by God."

The Duke of Jin said lukewarmly: "Mr. Cheng'en, you are too proud, right? Before His Highness King Qi said anything, he was labeled as a rebel. I understand that you are here for His Majesty." For the sake of this, those who don’t know may think that you are seeking revenge and deliberately targeting His Highness Prince Qi.”

It was rare that Duke Cheng'en didn't immediately become furious: "Duke Jin, it is said that hundreds of birds are facing the phoenix. Duke Jin thinks that hundreds of birds should be facing the real phoenix or the fake phoenix, ah?"

Duke Jin squinted and said, "Oh, from what Duke Chengen said, it sounds like he has seen a real phoenix?"

Duke Chengen retorted: "I don't know whether it is a real phoenix or a fake phoenix, but yesterday hundreds of birds came to pay homage to Princess Qi's 'phoenix', and the meaning is somewhat intriguing. You said this is not an attempt to rebel, let Princess Qi's mother Yi What is the world?”

The Duke of Jin sneered: "It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty. Is there still such a thing as ideological rebellion? Why don't I know about it?"

Duke Cheng'en said with a mocking look on his face: "Everything happens for the first time. His Highness King Qi holds the military power in the southwest and is deeply respected by the soldiers. It is not impossible for him to be willing to replace His Majesty. The Duke of Jin has always been King Qi. Your Highness is talking, could it be that the Duke of Jin thinks what happened yesterday is normal?"

Not to be outdone, Duke Guo of Jin said: "First of all, "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" is just a familiar tune. Although Princess Qi changed her past and presented "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" in a way that attracted hundreds of birds to come to court, how could this happen? Can you say that King Qi has the intention to rebel? Let me ask you, did King Qi secretly manufacture weapons for rebellion, or did he station troops? Did you see it, Duke Chengen? Who would rebel without any preparation and publicize it everywhere? Chengen My benefactor, have you thought about it with your brain? So, you are just chewing words, making things up out of nothing, deliberately fabricating things, mistaking a deer for a horse, and confusing the public!"

Most of the people in the court were intellectuals with a wealth of knowledge, talents, and rich knowledge. When they quarreled, they quoted scriptures and could kill people with their mouths.

Duke Cheng'en pointed at Duke Jin. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and could not speak for a long time.

At this time, Emperor Jiayou turned his attention to Lu Yushi. Lu Yushi suddenly woke up from a dream and came out with his sleeves rolled up: "Duke Jin, you can't say that, regardless of whether Prince Qi's palace means that. But I can’t stand the speculations of the people in the world. Do you think that if the people know about it, will they make any assumptions? What’s more, if something is spread that should not be spread, the people will be shaken and the world will be in chaos. Duke Jin, please tell me, something like this Is the result similar to what Duke Chengen said?"

Yu Qian, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyelids and opened his mouth: "I don't really agree with what these people said. What happened yesterday has already happened. It doesn't make much sense to talk about right or wrong now. The most important thing at the moment is To find out why Princess Qi can make hundreds of birds come to court, the unknown is the deepest fear as a human being. As long as this matter can be explained and people know the cause and effect, then the worries mentioned by Lu Yushi will no longer exist."

Changsun Tao looked calmly at the red-faced people. He could see clearly what they were thinking.Because of the Queen's dethronement, Duke Chengen wanted to get rid of him quickly.

The Duke of Jin deliberately spoke for him. He probably didn't want his carefully raised granddaughter to become a concubine, so he worked hard to help him in front of the emperor's brother. In this way, the emperor's brother would be worried about his growing power, and maybe he wouldn't treat Xiao Meiruo. He was given the title of concubine, but if the imperial brother still insisted on the marriage, the Duke of Jin would be considered to have sold her in advance in front of his future grandson-in-law.

A low-level official like Lu Yushi who relies on his mouth has no power at all and can only follow orders!

Yu Qian's methods are more clever. Although he has the same thoughts as Cheng'en Gong, his words are completely incomprehensible. He is the villain hiding the needle.

As for the people on the throne, they obviously want him to die the most, but they are most afraid of others knowing their dirty thoughts, so they use some unsavory tricks to trap him all day long, like now, looking down on him The way other people deal with him is disgusting.

That’s why the court occupied by these people is boring!

They are fighting over the so-called "hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix" phenomenon. Do they know that the harvest in the north will not be good this year and how many people will have difficulty surviving the winter?
Do they know that some state capitals have received rare heavy rains when winter is approaching and are currently suffering from famine?
Do they know that the soldiers guarding the border have not received a raise in military pay or changed into winter cotton-padded clothes for many years?
If the court, as a place, does not serve the people and is constantly quarreling for its own interests, then is it still necessary for it to exist?

The superiors regard the world as a chess game and the people as pawns. From this perspective, the people are just cold numbers.

But when a king or an official governs the world, every common person is precious. When can the focus of the court be used on the common people?

Changsun Tao sighed and was about to say something when Duke Chengen spoke: "Xiang Yu, Princess Qi is your granddaughter. When you say this, are you worried that Princess Qi will implicate her?"

"Yuan Ling, who are you talking to?" Yu Qian cupped his hands and said, "I am the prime minister of a country. Every word and deed is for the country, the country, the country, the country, and the world. Everything I say and do is considered. , are all the result of careful consideration, rather than personal subjective likes and dislikes like you. Since you are so good, let me tell you, which sentence of the truth was wrong? Everything must be based on evidence. If the truth cannot be proved, The original intention of the prime minister is not to talk nonsense, oh, yes, don’t even think about it, lest you damage your brain, which is not very good at all!"

Duke Cheng'en was furious: "You!"

Yu Qian smiled contemptuously: "Mr. Cheng'en, although you have the title of duke, you cannot hold the position of Minister of Honglu Temple. When you talk to me, you must pay attention to your attitude. You are so disrespectful. I am committing the same crime as above." , an uneducated person has no right to speak so loudly!"
