Chapter 262 Everyone’s thoughts
"Your Majesty, if you only want to discuss the imperial examination, why don't you pass the Minister of Rites? After all, all these things were the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites in the past."
After hesitating for a while, Wei Zheng still explained his confusion in his heart, invited all of them, such important officials, and then just to discuss such a small matter, wouldn't it be a killing knife?
"If I only want to do the scientific examination, I will not just send you. The reason why I asked you to come here is that the matter discussed today will not be heard by others."
Li Er naturally knew what these ministers were thinking. For their doubts, he just shook his head slightly and gave an ambiguous answer.
After hearing this explanation, the ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly guessing it. It seemed that what His Majesty was going to say today was not as simple as they thought.
The more this happens, the more uneasy the ministers are. The Minister of Rites is also an important minister. Although they are not their old brother, they have also made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
And now, His Majesty's actions obviously did not trust him, which made them think deeply again.
At this time, silence is the best manifestation. It is better to wait for Your Majesty to speak up, and then they will discuss whether the matter can be executed well, so as not to misunderstand and inadvertently punish Your Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I believe that it is safer to pass the Minister of Rites on the Imperial Examination."
Wei Zheng suggested again, after all, it is obviously unlikely that today's matter will be absolutely confidential. If it is heard by the other party, it may very likely make the old minister feel disappointed.
"Xuancheng, are you questioning my decision? If I don't ask him to come, I will naturally have my intention. After all, there is a shadow of a noble family in the Minister of Rites."
After questioning himself again and again, Li Er couldn't bear the good temper, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he looked like he was going crazy at any time.
A few words made the ministers' eyes widen.
The amount of information is really too large. Is Your Majesty planning to attack the aristocratic family?
Otherwise, I would never do this. For a moment, the ministers were having some difficulty breathing, and I was quietly waiting for the following.
The affairs of the five surnames and seven hopes and aristocratic families were really too sensitive in the court. They have always been a cancer in the Tang Dynasty, and they have always restrained the Tang Dynasty and made them dare not act rashly.
Changsun Wuji, who was standing in front, suddenly realized in his heart. No wonder when he saw these guys outside the imperial study room, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, and now all of them can be explained.
All the officials who can come here today are His Majesty’s true confidants. They must not let go of any rumors when dealing with the aristocratic family.
"Your Majesty, even so, we can see the contributions made by the Minister of Rites to the Tang Dynasty over the years..."
Fang Xuanling believed that Wei Zheng had no problem with his previous words. Although the Minister of Rites had a little relationship with the aristocratic family, he had always kept a certain distance from the other party for so many years and had never done anything out of the ordinary.
"I know better than any of you, but this matter is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty. Today's negotiations are even more important."
"I believe you know the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the aristocratic families. Although we have always kept the water from wells, we all know that no one wants each other to have a good life."
"Although the Minister of Rites has a subtle relationship with the aristocratic family, he always has the same blood in his bones. Once the news is leaked, the Tang Dynasty will perish, so I dare not gamble, nor can I gamble."
The ministers had been talking to the Minister of Rites, and Li Er knew very well, but the matter was right in front of him, so he had to make such a choice.
The ministers took a breath again, and they really couldn't figure out what was going on with the aristocratic family that was angry and resentful. Judging from the current situation, His Majesty was determined to destroy the other party.
But they didn't feel any secret joy in their hearts, but instead they were filled with a strong sense of worry. The Tang Dynasty had just been peaceful for a few years and was about to send troops to the Turks again. If a civil war broke out again at this time, it is conceivable that the people would be in the middle of the day.
What kind of state?
Now is not the time when heroes are separating and occupying the mountains and becoming kings, the Tang Dynasty has long been unified in the world. If it develops slowly, it will inevitably be as solid as a god.
If this battle is won, it may be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty. Once it fails, the current good situation will be gone, and even the entire Tang Dynasty will fall apart.
Therefore, the ministers did not want to start this battle, and the Tang Dynasty could not afford this tragic price.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be thought twice before it can be done."
The national troll Wei Zheng jumped out again. His Majesty really shouldn't have such a dangerous idea.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the opportunity for this matter to start a war with a noble family is not yet ripe, and forcing the conquest by force is really not worth the loss. Therefore, I suggest that it is safer and that it should be done slowly."
"You must know that these aristocratic families control the main economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, and will affect the whole body with one blow, which is likely to cause turmoil in the country."
Changsun Wuji spoke with a serious expression, and even forced some words to his heart, for fear that he would anger His Majesty and be more determined to destroy the aristocratic family.
"The auxiliary saying is reasonable. The family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation. We don't know how many connections and arrangements they have in secret. If the war starts rashly, it is still unknown whether we will have the upper hand."
Regarding Changsun Wuji's suggestion, Du Ruhui nodded deeply and expressed his concerns.
Immediately afterwards, other ministers also spoke one after another, without exception, all of which were admonishment to Your Majesty and thought twice. There was no minister who supported Your Majesty in the entire imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, if you insist on fighting, I am willing to be the pioneer of the Tang Dynasty, concentrate troops and defeat them one by one, which may increase your chances of victory."
The ministers said everything, but they never saw His Majesty speak. It was obvious that His Majesty disagreed with their suggestions. Wei Zheng took a deep breath and then volunteered.
Anyway, he said everything he should say. Since Your Majesty disagreed, he had no move. He adhered to the principle that the king asked his minister to die and the minister had to die, and he directly used one move to advance as a retreat.
"Xuan Cheng's words are reasonable, and I am willing to act as the pioneer and directly destroy Cui."
Du Ruhui nodded slowly. As the Minister of War, he believed that Wei Trolls' suggestions this time finally had a little meaning.
Li Er was speechless and looked at the ministers and couldn't help laughing and crying. Is this what he meant?
But just now, these guys began to think about it. As for the truth, these guys didn't listen to them at all.
Can't they think of these issues they have considered?
After all, I was the one who led countless troops to fight. If I didn’t even understand such simple principles, wouldn’t I be a joke?
