Chapter 324: Forcing the Emperor
"Your Majesty, let alone the Uighurs are sincerely trying to reconcile with our Tang Dynasty, and have already agreed to give me one hundred war horses every year as tribute. Even when An Lushan rebelled, they lost their troops and generals for our Tang Dynasty, which is worth a business journey!"
Li Li was already very upset when he heard these old guys. Everyone looked at it with great thoughts, but in fact they were full of evil intentions.
However, Li Lei had already prepared such a situation. Of course, he had to look down patiently. After all, the first one to stand out was not his main goal. In today's court, whether Yuan Zai and the others wanted to do something big, Li Lei wanted to do something bigger.
"I say he is worth it. If I say he is not worth it, he is naturally not worth it. Don't mention this matter to me in the court. I will never agree to this matter no matter what. I have some other things to deal with these days. Let's stop here today!"
After throwing this sentence, Li Qing waved his hand impatiently, and looked like he was very bored and wanted to go back.
Li Yan was quite energetic before, but why did it suddenly become like this today? Others don’t know, but Yuan Zai and Wang Jin both knew about it. They looked at each other and felt that the opportunity today might be a bit ripe.
So Wang Jin turned his head slightly and looked behind him.
After seeing this, another old minister behind him seemed to have been suddenly loaded with a battery robot, and rushed to the middle of the court in one bolt.
"Your Majesty! I risk my life to ask Your Majesty. Your Majesty's thoughts are obviously not above this court. Have you learned the rumor of Your Majesty that is circulating in Chang'an City now? Is Your Majesty unwilling to deal with the affairs in the court because of these rumors?"
Although this hometown said that he was risking his life, his words were all heading towards Li Qing. According to Li Qing's thoughts, such a courtier could really be regarded as a devastating person.
But no matter how you think in your heart, Li Qing has to act according to the script he had already designed.
"Oh? You seem to be very concerned about me. Even the rumors in Chang'an City can help me find out so clearly. Since you mentioned this, I will let you talk to me and tell the court officials in our Tang Dynasty. What do the people in Chang'an City say about me?"
Li Neng's reaction was really something they had never thought about, but at this point, he had already told this fact, so of course he could not retreat at this time. In that case, even if the matter that Yuan Zai and Wang Jin were not completed, he would definitely know what the consequences would be.
"Your Majesty! Now, in the inns and taverns in Chang'an City, many people are talking about it, saying that for some reason, a woman's whereabouts appeared in Xingqing Palace in Chang'an City. That was the palace of the Emperor of the previous dynasty. It has been abandoned for a long time, how can a woman appear?"
Although this old guy's words sounded like an exclamation, in this court where everyone looked at him, he actually questioned Li Qing.
Obviously, if Li Qing did not explain this matter clearly, he would not be able to explain his absent-mindedness in the court during this period. In that case, Li Qing would only fall into a more unfavorable situation in the court.
"Hey! I thought you guys didn't know about this. Since you mentioned it in this court today, I would like to ask you, how did these people spread in Chang'an City? Is it said that I am extremely debauchery, or is it that I ignore the government?"
What the old minister who asked the question below did not expect was that Li Neng not only did not explain this matter, but instead asked him a question, saying that many of his previous thoughts were different.
But since things have reached this point, he naturally cannot retreat at this time. After all, he had promised Yuan Zai before. Since he had already taken care of this matter, he had to achieve Yuan Zai's goal.
"Your Majesty! Since the people in Chang'an City have been rumored to be rumored, we who are standing in the court have heard of it. In fact, what they say is not important, but Your Majesty must let us know what is going on in Xingqing Palace. After our court officials learned about it, they will naturally find ways to erase these rumors for Your Majesty."
As soon as this person finished speaking, before Li Yan could react, many people came from behind, all of whom supported the old minister.
The meaning in their words was also very simple, and it was nothing more than asking Li to explain the things in Xingqing Palace well.
Although none of them said it directly, the implication was that the fact that the woman was hidden in Xingqing Palace was a fact. If Li Qing explained it, he would basically tell these court officials that the women were indeed hidden by himself. If he asked these court officials to find ways to resolve the rumors for him, the matter would be over.
However, the consequence of doing so is that Li Qing's reputation in the court will basically fall to the bottom. Even such a thing must be solved by his court officials, and of course, other things will be counted on them in the future.
In this way, Yuan Zai and Wang Jin will inevitably once again control all the power in the Tang Dynasty.
"So? You all know the fact that there is a woman hidden in Xingqing Palace?"
When Li Qing asked this, several people who had already stood up nodded, obviously not wanting to give the emperor in front of him so much face.
"After this matter, I am not afraid. Tell you that I have indeed placed a woman in Xingqing Palace. It has been a month or two, but it is a bit inconvenient for me to talk about this woman's identity."
When everyone saw it, they thought that there was something that could not be said. Isn’t it just to raise a woman in Xingqing Palace to keep her playing with her? This must be told. What Yuan Zai is waiting for was Li Qing who was convinced of this. Once Li Qing confessed this matter himself, it would be easier to surrender to Yuan Zai and the old people in the Tang Dynasty.
