Chapter 328: Taking Back the Authority
At this time, Wang Jin suddenly realized that since Li Qing dared to let Yang Yuhuan appear here, he must be prepared.
"An Lushan's rebellion is of course his own intention, but His Majesty was also a witness in the Tianbao period. If she hadn't caused trouble to the First Emperor, and the First Emperor almost never came to the court to handle government affairs in his later years, it wouldn't have been like this! So she must have been responsible for this matter!"
When Wang Jin said this, his face was already filled with blue veins and cold sweats. What was he doing? He was calling an emperor. If Li Ren did not surrender in the end, he would almost certainly lose his virginity.
After hearing Wang Jin's words, a sneer immediately appeared on Li Qing's face. Anyone could feel that smile after seeing it. This matter seemed to have been in Li Qing's heart for a long time. What Wang Jin said did not put any pressure on Li Qing.
Yang Yuhuan, who has been under the attack of these court officials, remembered what Li Yan had brought to her before, that is, no matter what vicious words these court officials used to attack her, she would not have to put any pressure on them, let alone hit them back, because Li Yan would do this for her.
"If you talked to me about the responsibility, I was at least a witness in Chang'an City before and after the An Lushan rebellion. Then I would ask you, when the old emperor and the imperial concubine were having fun in Xingqing Palace, what were you doing? Did you try every means to accompany my grandfather and the imperial concubine to have fun, or did you persuade me with your heart? There is one of you who had persuaded me before, and you can stand up for me now, and I will definitely be rewarded!"
Just one sentence made almost all the old ministers in the court lower their heads. The reason here was quite simple, that is, these old guys didn't persuade Li Longji at all, and most of them were able to enjoy life quite a bit, and they followed Li Longji to enjoy the banquet in the palace.
They had long forgotten the persuasion. They did not realize that they had to find a scapegoat until the emperor was in trouble.
They said this idea so much that they despised themselves, but now Li Qing said it directly in the court, and he didn't give them any face.
Under such circumstances, most people naturally dare not refute Li Yan. Wang Jin originally wanted to say something, but the previous sentence seemed to have exhausted all his energy. At this time, he no longer knew what else to say.
Yuan Zai looked at the situation in the court and knew that all his previous plans were lost at the moment when Yang Yuhuan showed his true face.
He never expected that Yang Yuhuan would survive the Mawei Post Office, and he did not expect that Li Neng would dare to take Yang Yuhuan to Xingqing Palace after he ascended the throne and raised him openly.
Yuan Zai didn't know why Li Yong did this in this situation, but now it is obvious that everything is not developing as he imagined.
If he didn't say anything now, Yang Yuhuan's previous sins would have been resolved in this court. Later, the rumors in Xingqing Palace would be destroyed by Yang Yuhuan's appearance.
Not only that, the people may also love Li Yan more than before. After all, when Yang Yuhuan died, there were more people in the Tang Dynasty who complained about him. Everyone did not want Yang Yuhuan to take the blame for this disaster.
Under such circumstances, if Li Qing made Yang Yuhuan's name so easy, it would be even more difficult for Yuan Zai to take back the initiative in the court. Moreover, Yuan Zai had a premonition that Li Qing invited Yang Yuhuan to the court might not be a whim. He might have to take action against his confidants.
So, Yuanzai knew that he had to stand up at this time, otherwise today would be the time for his majesty to be wiped out.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate for Your Majesty to say this. Although we have not played the role of persuading Your Majesty, if it weren't for Your Majesty's enjoyment with the original concubine every day, the Tang Dynasty would definitely not have been like this. So even if you have to take responsibility, the old ministers are secondary, mainly because of the original concubine!"
Obviously, Yuan Zai wanted to be with Li Nenggang all at once, and this is exactly what Li Neng wants to happen now.
"If Yuan Xiang said so, the culprit in this matter is nothing else, but my grandfather?"
Li Neng asked without any intention of giving in and smiled.
Yuan Zai has been standing in the court for so many years. It is definitely not something that Li Neng can give in with this simple sentence, so he replied to Li Neng at that time.
"The reason why the old minister said this is because Chen Xuanli, who had been following the Supreme Emperor to the death, and tens of thousands of imperial guards, agreed that the responsibility for this matter was Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan. The Supreme Emperor also admitted this matter in public, but for some reason, she will still be alive."
Yuan Zai obviously put the blame on Chen Xuanli and Li Longji and others, and his implication was very obvious, that is, Yang Yuhuan should not be alive now, and her death was the result of tens of thousands of imperial guards who were very loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Since these people were so loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they naturally would not have any problems.
"Isn't this the tradition of our ministers in the Tang Dynasty? When they want to gain power, they will use the method of forcing the palace to make the emperor submit. The situation at that time has nothing to do with whether Chen Xuanli was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. When he brought the so-called military advice to the Emperor at Mawei Post with the imperial guards who only listened to his orders but did not listen to the orders of the Emperor, his loyalty to the Emperor had actually disappeared. If the Emperor insisted on not giving the imperial concubine to death, they would probably have a scene of killing the monarch as a minister. Do these Yuan prime ministers also think it was justified?"
Eloquence is actually not something Li Qing is good at, but now that things have come to this point, it is useless to let anyone say it to him if he is involved in the royal family.
