"My dear Cui, why not?"
Li Shimin looked at Cui Renshi who stood up.
He knew that these people would not just sit there and wait for death.
However, the trend has already been set, so he will not be afraid of anything.
"Your Majesty, I do not think that it is wrong to establish the Ghost Controlling Bureau. I also support the establishment of the Ghost Controlling Bureau. This move is to deal with catastrophes and for the sake of all people in the world." Cui Renshi had a righteous look on his face.
This caused many officials to exclaim in surprise.
He looked at Cui Renshi in disbelief.
Some people even wondered whether this leader of the Cui family had been bribed by the emperor.
However, Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and others all looked gloomy.
They knew very well that there was no reason for Cui Renshi to speak for them, so there must be something wrong.
"Then why do you say no, my dear Cui?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, I am not against the establishment of the Ghost Control Department, but I am against such a big fuss." Cui Renshi said with a folded hand. "Now, the immortals have been known to the people, but the evil ghosts and catastrophes are too horrifying. Even in the court, many officials are frightened by them, let alone the common people. If it is as I said before, it will surely cause panic among the people. Therefore, I suggest that the Ghost Control Department should be classified as confidential, and investigated and dealt with secretly to ensure that the world is not in chaos and is stable and peaceful."
Everyone then understood what Cui Renshi meant.
The establishment of the Ghost Controlling Bureau has become difficult to stop.
Then reduce the power of the Ghost Control Bureau.
In this way, the influence and deterrence on all officials, especially the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats, will be greatly reduced.
There is no need to worry that the emperor will use this as an excuse to gather imperial power and then use it to deal with the five surnames and seven families.
For a moment.
I don't know how many people in the court spoke up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Censor Cui said is absolutely right!"
"Your Majesty, if the news of ghosts spreads widely, the whole world will be in panic, and there may even be another chaos caused by the demon sect."
"We are well-versed in the classics, but we are still afraid, let alone the common people. Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, responding to the catastrophe is for the sake of the people of the world. You must not sacrifice the fundamentals for the sake of the trivial."
“.”
In a short period of time, the voices in the court seemed to have suddenly reversed.
Li Shimin's face looked very ugly.
He looked at Cui Renshi deeply.
As expected of the leader of the second branch of the Cui family, after these words, he not only found a reason to stop him from gathering the imperial power, but also explained to those officials who were just frightened by the ghost, and gained a lot of favors.
And we were able to find such a breakthrough in such a short time.
Also has quick wit.
The world's talents are really mostly from aristocratic families! Li Shimin glanced at Zhangsun Wuji again.
Zhang Sun Wuji knew what he meant. After thinking for a while, he stepped out and said:
"You are wrong, Imperial Censor Cui. How can we conceal the catastrophe that has befallen the world?"
Not only Changsun Wuji, but also Fang Xuanling, all of them spoke out and expressed their opinions one by one.
And Cui Renshi was not willing to be outdone.
He quoted from classics and refuted each point one by one.
Even the other officials from the Five Surnames and Seven Ancestral Clans who had spoken out calmed down after someone took the lead, as if they were just sharp-tongued swordsmen, without mercy.
The situation, which was originally one-sided, was gradually turned around by these officials.
The entire court was like a fierce dialectic.
And above their heads.
Shen Yi and his group were also listening.
Gu Yan and the others were all stunned.
"How is it?" Shen Yi looked at the others.
"I really underestimated the wisdom of these ancients." Gu Yan took a deep breath and said in amazement, "They are obviously all for the benefit of their own camp, but when they open their mouths, they always talk about the people of the world. When they close their mouths, they are righteous and awe-inspiring, and they are also quick-witted."
Catherine also nodded slightly and said, "At this time, the whole world is similar. This is the characteristic of this period."
This is indeed the characteristic of this period.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, the common people had a very low status.
It will gradually change later, but at this moment, it remains the same.
Even Li Shimin, who said "The king is like a boat and the people are like water. Water can carry the boat but can also capsize it", was not the Li Shimin of today. He would have to be emperor for more than ten years before he could have such thoughts.
Seeing that the officials below were still arguing.
Shen Yi's brows also wrinkled slightly.
As if she had seen through his dissatisfaction, Ding Xiang suddenly whispered:
"Captain, in this case, even if the Ghost Control Division is established, the noble families will not strongly support it, and there will not be any high efficiency. Ding Xiang suggests that we intervene."
"Oh?" Shen Yi looked at Ding Xiang.
Under normal circumstances, Shen Yi would not forcibly interfere with the self-rescue management of civilization.
Because it generally doesn't make much sense.
Sooner or later the association will leave.
Too much intervention will only leave hidden dangers for the world after the association leaves.
However, Shen Yi understood what Ding Xiang meant.
Dingxiang has said before that she believes that the association should have more responsibility for such primitive civilizations with low levels of awareness and insufficient capabilities, so it can carry out deeper intervention.
And in this process, guide the development of civilization.
now.
Shen Yi just thought about it for a moment and then nodded.
"Neither the emperor nor these officials can truly represent the human civilization of this world. Guiding civilizations with certain potential is also one of the jobs of the special envoys."
Shen Yi did not mention the association's responsibilities.
Rather, it refers to the work of the special envoy.
In fact, he had already been doing something similar in the previous world.
For example, in the world of natural disasters, he was controlling the entire Western network because at that time, he believed that some people in the West still had the qualifications and potential to save themselves and survive, so he intervened and guided.
And now——
The people of the entire Tang Dynasty should not be abandoned because of the ignorance of the ruling class.
At this time, Shen Yi looked at the four people behind him again.
The decision has been made.
"Gu Yan, I'll give you a task in my name."
After Shen Yi gave some instructions for a while, Gu Yan's eyes lit up slightly.
Reed and Catherine also showed envious expressions.
This task gave Gu Yan a lot of autonomy.
If you can do it well, it's an achievement.
"Gu Yanding will not fail in his mission!"
Gu Yan said respectfully, his eyes sparkling, and it was obvious that he was also motivated.
"Go ahead." Shen Yi chuckled, "Just do it, I'll watch you."
Then, he waved his hand gently.
Gu Yan's figure slowly flew down from the stands.
At this time in the hall, many officials were blushing.
The debate has clearly reached a fever pitch.
I should be able to write another chapter_(`」∠)__ (End of this chapter)
