Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 57 Showdown (2)
Sidon's words immediately quietened the Qingluo Pavilion. The interrogating gazes, uncertain expressions, and whispering exchanges seemed to be waiting for something.
The heart constricted violently. Wufeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down as much as possible. His steady gaze swept across everyone's faces from left to right. But he couldn't hide his astonishment. It seems that he didn't know about this plan, but Jilin's face was a little embarrassed and uneasy. He should have known about this plan, but it seemed a bit unexpected to bring it up suddenly, maybe because he thought it was the right time. No, but Lu Wenfu is calm and calm. He should be a participant in this plan, but the performance of these people is not important. They only represent the important officials of the central government, and the real strength in their hands is quite limited. Wufeng's eyes fell on Situ Biao's face. Since the other party dared to propose this plan suddenly, he was sure to get support. Needless to say, Situ Yuan would never support this plan, but his strength was too weak to be ignored. Regardless, it was Situ Biao who could really make a difference. What did Situ Tai trade for that made him willing to cooperate with the other party?
There was hardly any change in Situ Biao's expression, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he picked up the teacup with both hands and sipped it carefully, as if he was carefully considering the plan proposed by Sidon. With a thought in his heart, it seemed that the two of them really had a tacit understanding. This kind of behavior could not be concealed from others. It seemed that he had a little high opinion of Situ Biao's wisdom. Wu Feng thought coldly, since the other party really wanted to join forces to deal with him, Then there is no need for me to make peace with the other party blindly, and lose the value of mutual use, and maybe the next thing to do is to meet with swords and guns.
At this time, Situ Biao's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the outside. He didn't even dare to pick up the teacup, because he found that his hands couldn't help shaking when he picked up the teacup. The subsequent changes were too complicated. Even in the past few days in Beijing, his mind changed several times overnight. Until now, he is still thinking about whether it is still too late if he regrets it. The regent plus five lakes and one county and the discretion of Huzhou and Jinhua prefectures only need to obey the empire in name. If he has the ability to win Quanzhou, then Quanzhou is also his own. Of course, all this is not given to him for nothing. You need the support of your own strength, and secondly, you need Situ Tai's support, but these all come at a price, that is, your full support for Situ Tai's ascension to the throne!
It sounds like you only need to express an attitude, a verbal name, but Situ Biao knows the importance of this name. Li Wufeng has clearly stated his attitude in the letter to him, and Situ Taideng will never be tolerated. As for the position of the emperor of the Shang Empire, his attitude is very clear, that is to continue to maintain the rule of the puppet emperor Lao Jiu, and keep everything else as it is, so that the western border can naturally rest easy, but he has to face Situ Tai from the east. Threat, even Cheng Dayou has joined Situ Tai, can he resist attacks from the east and north? Xijiang's help is unreliable. It is impossible for him to use the other party's strength to resist attacks from the east and north. Otherwise, he will be a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door. Situ Biao knows this very well.
But can an alliance with Situ Tai and the central elders of the empire be able to compete with Xijiang? This is what Situ Biao is most worried about. Although Situ Tai said that he will put pressure on Xijiang from the north, the reality before him is that Li Wufeng's First Army of Xijiang is in Kansai, and they can enter the five lakes across the border. However, it is impossible for Li Wufeng to let such a tiger rest in Kansai under such circumstances. The meaning he revealed is very clear, that is to force himself to form an alliance with him.
"Hahahaha, it's ridiculous! Sidon, what are you, you dare to talk about abolition?! I think you are getting impatient, don't cause trouble for your family!" A burst of orders After the suffocating silence, Li Wufeng laughed wildly and broke the oppressive atmosphere in the Qingluo Pavilion, "Your Majesty has worked hard since he ascended the throne, and is deeply loved by the people of the empire. What kind of immoral act does His Majesty have today, so that you treat it as a thorn in the flesh, and you, a small interior minister in Sidon, dare to forge the imperial edict, and do this as an act of punishing the nine clans?!"
"Li Wufeng, you are simply too presumptuous. It is obvious that His Majesty is not qualified for the important task of the throne because of his health, so he took the initiative to give up the virtuous. How could this become a forgery by Sir Sidon?" Lu Wenfu couldn't hold back any longer. The anger in his chest retorted angrily, this Li Wufeng is really a great thief of the country, as long as it is not in line with his wishes, he will arrogantly veto and slander him, he regards nothing in the center of the empire, he has never taken His Majesty's wishes seriously, but now he is Here we talk a lot about His Majesty's current ruling behavior, as if how much he respects His Majesty, such extremely hypocritical behavior is simply outrageous.
"Really? I can't imagine how His Majesty the Emperor would ask for the throne of Zen for no reason. This is clearly because some important officials in the court failed the emperor's kindness, colluded with people outside the clan, and attempted to carry out the journey of candle shadow and ax sound. I, Li Wufeng, only need If you are alive, you can never agree to such a retrograde move!" Regarding Lu Wenfu's defense, Li Wufeng ignored it at all, and directly expressed his attitude, "If someone dares to agree to this retrograde move, the people of the empire will regard him as a bandit against the people and punish him It!"
Li Wufeng's decisive and clear attitude made almost everyone at a loss. If he supported this proposal, he would openly oppose His Highness King Qin, but if he opposed it, it would be against the government that already held the most important power in the capital. His Majesty's Highness in his hands rebelled against him, and the consequences would be even more unimaginable. The strong smell of blood from the civil war has already permeated the Qingluo Pavilion. The attitude almost influences the development of the whole situation.
Li Wufeng glared coldly at His Royal Highness King Xiang, and he had clearly stated his position to the other party. Although the conditions were not too generous, they were quite practical, but it seemed that His Highness King Xiang was more inclined towards Situ The illusory but seemingly more magnificent promises of the nobles and important officials of the Taihe Imperial Capital, otherwise he would not have acted so abnormally again.
Situ Tai also looked at Situ Biao with a nervous mood. This guy's reaction seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with the agreed action, especially the other party's expression that did not dare to raise his head, which made Situ Tai believe that the other party was retreating. As long as Situ Biao supports him, and if he has the support of the important officials in the central government of the empire, then his ascension to the throne can be accomplished. Even if Li Wufeng firmly opposes it, but in He can't stop his progress to the throne in the imperial capital.
"His Royal Highness, what do you think?" The words of the Minister of State Administration fell on Situ Biao's heart like a heavy hammer, and it was finally time for a showdown. Your attitude determines the fate of the entire empire. Everything is going according to the original plan. If Li Wufeng's attitude remains the same, then it is almost certain that Situ Tai and the elders of the empire will deal with him with all their strength. This is really a difficult choice.
"Uh, this king went to see His Majesty the day before yesterday. His Majesty's health is indeed difficult to support the heavy state affairs as Lord Sidon said. Of course, the abdication is definitely not what His Highness King Qin imagined. It's just that this kind of abolishment is just like His Royal Highness King Qin said, a decision must be made immediately, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people of the empire to accept it. In my king's opinion, this is a big matter, and it is necessary to further convene all parties to discuss and communicate. A decision can only be made with the support and understanding of all parties, and a hasty decision will only lead to turmoil in the empire, and it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the empire, please calm down and think carefully." Almost squeezed out every word from between teeth~IndoMTL .com~Situ Biao felt that the pressure of these few words was almost to crush him, his underwear was already soaked on his back, it was so wet that he felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but he managed to hold on, and now the ball has been kicked After returning to the feet of both parties, I can breathe a sigh of relief and let these people go to make trouble.
Tall, indeed tall, Wufeng loosened his body, narrowed his eyes, and carefully re-sized the unremarkable His Royal Highness King Xiang in front of him. Opposed to Situ Tai's idea, and did not support his own opinion, but on the other hand, he neither agreed with Sidon's proposal, nor held him back, and the reason was so reasonable, Wufeng was sure that Situ Biao would definitely There was some kind of deal with Situ Tai, but for some unknown reason, he did not fully accept Situ Tai's conditions. This kind of limited support was like scratching the itch for Situ Tai, making it even more uncomfortable, but I can't say anything, just like what Situ Biao said, discuss, communicate, understand, consider, and act like the world is for the public. In short, it's just two words. , he happened to be winking at both sides, and he was playing a good idea.
Situ Tai was a little angry, what exactly does this guy want to do? To actually come to such a move, do you really think that he has become a rare commodity and can sit in the middle impartially and let himself and Li Wufeng compete? If you want to be a fisherman, you have to see if you have the capital and strength. Don't be ungrateful and seek your own death. Although you think so in your heart, Situ Tai, who has gradually calmed down, still has to admit that his sixth younger brother is playing like this at this time. One hand is indeed beautiful, just look at the expressions of approval on the faces of Tian Yi and Ji Lin, you can tell that this guy has scored another point in this respect.
Recommendation ticket!
