"But how can we survive this?" Huang Qianshan was still worried. "We can't stop the emperor's request. We can't afford to be accused of isolating the inside and the outside. When the time comes, we don't need the emperor at all. The imperial scholars and censors can send us to Qiongzhou Island."

"That's a straightforward matter." Kang Lu said solemnly. "First, we need to let the emperor know that most of the civil and military officials in the imperial court will still go to Yangzhou. For example, the rebels in the Loyalty Team are just a few barbarians from Liao, and they cannot represent people's hearts. Secondly, we need to let the emperor remember and think clearly that people like Li Gang and Zong Ze are far less caring than you and me..."

"The first one is easy to deal with. After the emperor was injured, he rarely asked about government affairs. Most of the memorials were handled by you and me. This time the emperor wants to open up the channels for people to speak freely. We should take the trouble to warn those who may be talking nonsense and then check them carefully in the Privy Council." Huang Qianshan also became serious. "But the second one..."

"The latter Mr. Huang doesn't understand?" Kang Lu sneered. "How did you kill Chen Dong in Nanjing more than a month ago? And chased Li Gang away? The emperor has forgotten the past, and you have forgotten it too?"

Huang Qianshan was speechless for a moment, but he understood.

It is said that no one is perfect except saints; it is also said that three people make a tiger, and Zeng Shen killed someone.

Since ancient times, villains at the center of power have taken advantage of their control over the information channels around the monarch. After figuring out the monarch's character, they would present some of the things that the monarch cares about and hates the most. Then some people would naturally be in trouble... This kind of thing has happened in the past and will inevitably happen in the future.

Of course, as prime ministers and key figures in the inner court, and given the emperor's apparent impatience with the five people in this room recently, there are some things they definitely cannot do in person.

"Pick a good candidate!"

Kang Lu reminded the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty in the room again, then clasped his hands and turned to leave. Yang Yi Zhong did not dare to be negligent, and actually followed him out. As a noble attendant, he personally held up a paper umbrella to protect the chief escort of the Great Song Dynasty's Ministry of Internal Affairs from wind and rain.

The remaining three people in the room looked at each other and said nothing.

PS: Thanks to the new leader, "See a Doctor If You Are Sick", "I'll Move the Train Station Here", "Sky Mirror 1900", "Weird 0930", "Eat Gaba Vegetables", "No More You", "Drunk Sword", "Wei Xiaowang", "A Bowl of Instant Noodles", "Qing, Wei" and so on and so forth... All of them are from the old book friends of Fu Han who came to support, and I am very grateful.

In the middle of the night, I pressed Xiaojiu's head and kowtowed in front of the screen. One kowtow for each reward, no less.
