After hearing what the emperor said, several people fell silent.
After he finished speaking, Liu Muzhi saluted the emperor and the empress.
Liu Muzhi then chuckled softly and said, "I originally thought that today's Jiahe Banquet was aimed at Cui Cen, but now it seems that Cui Cen is just taking advantage of Your Majesty. Your Majesty's real target is probably those celebrities themselves, no, it should be said that the families behind those celebrities are the real targets.
Your Majesty is indeed a man of foresight."

But then he thought of what Zhao Xin had just said about the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, and he couldn't help but bite his teeth lightly, secretly worried.
The other two people present, Li Yunqing and the temple secretary, were shocked.
However, compared with Li Yunqing's relative innocence, the temple secretary was even more shocked and doubtful.
Is Prime Minister Cui really that easy to deal with?
Prime Minister Cui now has great power in the court!
Moreover, the emperor said that the purpose of today's Jiahe Banquet is the aristocratic families behind the so-called celebrities. What is going on?
