The king behind the empress

Chapter 68 Qian Min's Violence

At the mention of Mo Zizai's name, the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.

As the six ministers, they can be said to be the most powerful people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even the emperor has to pay three points of respect when facing them.

But Mo Zizai was different. This person did not follow common sense at all. When he came up, he said that he would rebel, and he directly chopped off the heads of twenty important officials, making it clear that he wanted to overturn the table.

This kind of person has no scruples at all. He doesn't even think about what the country is like, or what the overall situation is. If you dare to say no, he will dare to chop off your head with a knife.

Even if he burns jade and stone together and ruins Dazhou's 800-year foundation, he will not hesitate.

"Your Majesty is also confused, to let such a lunatic take power."

The tone of Yin Qishan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was somewhat indignant, "If this continues, Da Zhou will be destroyed by him sooner or later."

"Confused?"

Wang Fucheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, didn't show any respect to the empress, "You think these things can be separated from her? How can you have such courage and insight just by relying on that trash?"

Yin Qishan was silent for a moment, then slapped the table violently, "It's so courteous, don't wait!"

"I will resign from His Majesty tomorrow, and return home!"

"Returning home?"

Wang Fucheng stared at Yin Qishan with a very strange look, as if he was looking at a fool, "Okay, then go write your resignation letter, and I will definitely prepare a good coffin for you by then. "

"Wang Fucheng, what do you mean!" Yin Qishan glared at Wang Fucheng, "Are you cursing me to death?"

"I just think you're naive." Wang Fucheng tried his best not to say the word stupid. Although he knew that Yin Qishan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted by his seniority, Wang Fucheng still felt that he was so stupid. Somewhat unbelievable, "Where are you in the officialdom, you can come and go whenever you want?"

"Why, isn't it okay for me to resign from my old age and return to my hometown?"

Yin Qishan didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, "Sun Chao, the former minister of rites, resisted the empress's ascension to the throne. In the end, the late emperor didn't make things difficult for him, and asked him to retire and return home."

"He can go, so why can't I go?"

"Can the first emperor be the same as Mo Zizai?"

Wang Fucheng was really annoyed by Yin Qishan's stupidity, "I can guarantee that if you hand in your resignation tomorrow morning, Mo Zizai will dare to raid your home in the afternoon!"

"If you want to get out completely, that's fine. Hand over all your property, and then see how Mo Zizai feels. Maybe he won't kill you when he's in a better mood."

Yin Qishan suddenly became anxious, stood up and said loudly: "Why? Why should the official resign and return home and copy my house!"

"Why? Just because you have money."

Wang Fucheng snorted coldly, "How much is your annual salary, and how much is your current family property? Do you really think Yu Zhisi doesn't know that you accept bribes everywhere?"

"It's too late to run away after greedy for money!"

"me……"

Yin Qishan's face turned pale when he was told, and he couldn't say a word.

"Okay, let's talk less."

Qian Min glanced at the distraught Yin Qishan, although he was a little disappointed with him, but he belonged to the same faction as himself, so Qian Min defended: "Everyone's buttocks are not clean, so don't criticize anyone. "

"Master Wang, your Ministry of War has been greedy for millions of taels just by eating empty pay all these years, let alone reselling ordnance."

"If it wasn't for my household department's cover-up, the government soldiers in those counties would have almost become a display. Do you think you can hide it from His Majesty?"

Hearing what Qian Min said, Wang Fucheng snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else. If it wasn't for these things, he wouldn't be here today.

Seeing that Wang Fucheng stopped talking, Qian Min continued: "Now, the most important thing is not to complain to each other, the most important thing is to abolish Mo Zizai's authority, otherwise we will not have a good life."

"How waste?"

Wang Fucheng frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The authority of Yu Zhisi is directly given by the empress, unless she speaks, no one can do anything to Mo Zizai."

"And now that the Empress is colluding with Mo Zizai, she will never take back Yu Zhisi's authority."

"Then even her is useless!"

Qian Min's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said fiercely: "Master Wang, don't you support the King of Bei'an? Just let him send troops, Qing Jun side!"

Both Wang Fucheng and Yin Qishan were taken aback by Qian Min's sternness, and they said that they were on the side of the Qing emperor, in fact, they wanted the king of Bei'an to directly rebel.

"Old Qian Ge is really decisive in doing things!"

Wang Fucheng, who came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and looked at Qian Min with a little apprehension. Qian Min, the elder of the court, really did not pay for nothing. He actually rebelled when he said rebellion. He never thought about such a thing.

But after pondering for a moment, he still shook his head and said: "The timing is not ripe, nothing can be done."

"Although King Bei'an has an army of 30, it is the army of the imperial court, not the army of King Bei'an."

"In the past three years, the Empress has placed many officials in King Bei'an's army. If King Bei'an revolts, half of the 30 troops will turn against him in an instant."

"If the time is not ripe, make it."

Qian Min's face sank like water, and he said in an extremely cold tone: "If there are disaster victims rebelling or the northern border falls, isn't the time ripe?"

Wang Fucheng gasped, and looked at Qian Min in horror, this time he was really frightened, "Old Qian Ge, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, I just want to protect myself."

Although Qian Min's tone was flat, the words he said were extremely cold, "I will inform Jiangnan to attack the East Territory. After all, having a lunatic like Mo Zizai in power is not good for anyone, and Jiangnan definitely doesn't want to see it. This situation."

"With them taking action, there will probably be no problems in the East Realm. After all, even Tang Shuyu and the others can solve it, let alone Zhang Yuan."

"As for the victims, it's fine to keep getting stuck in food. As long as the imperial court can't buy food, those victims will rebel sooner or later."

The indifference and harshness in Qian Min's words made Wang Fucheng feel shuddering. No matter which side has a problem with the East Territory and the disaster victims, it is not a trivial matter.

Once the two parties were in turmoil, at least tens of thousands of lives would have to be lost, but in Qian Min's mouth, it was indeed such an understatement, as if those lives were insignificant in Qian Min's eyes.

"Old Qian Ge." Seeing Qian Min's indifferent expression, Wang Fucheng couldn't help but think of a question that has been bothering him, "I heard that Mo Zizai was assassinated when he was about to leave the imperial mausoleum, and this matter is also yours. Why?"

"I didn't do it."

Qian Min shook his head, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. At first he thought it was someone from Wang Fucheng's side who did it, but now that he asked this question, it was obviously not him.

"Mo Zizai's leaving the imperial mausoleum, we thought it was a good thing. After all, we still belong to the first emperor's party in name. At that time, we had already decided to support him to fight against the empress. How could we send someone to kill him?"
