Lu Qian sat upright with no expression on his face.
But I was secretly chilled inside.
He is different from Tong Guanyue. To some extent, he is Cui Cen's true disciple.
Cui Cen was also very kind to him.
He came from a poor family, and it was Cui Cen who discovered him and cultivated and promoted him all the way to where he is today.
Now he holds the position of Shaofuling, in charge of royal property and palace affairs, which to some extent makes him a powerful figure.
He also knew that Cui Cen had arranged this position for him in order to suppress the emperor in terms of internal affairs and finances, and also to absorb royal wealth for the Cui family's use.
Of course, it also has the function of monitoring the emperor.
Entrusting him with such an important position shows Cui Cen's trust in him.
However, even though he trusted him, Cui Cen might not necessarily listen to him.
When the emperor suddenly took action to remove Wang Jin and placed the empress dowager under house arrest, he had given advice to Cui Cen.
The emperor must be stopped at all costs, such as mobilizing the Qingliu to impeach the emperor in the name of filial piety. Even if necessary, even if it means death, the emperor must not be allowed to imprison the empress dowager.
Otherwise, the Cui family will be in danger!
Because what did the Cui family rely on to control the government? Was it their disciples and former officials, or was it the Cui party that was spread throughout the court?
No, neither.
The key to Cui's control over the government lies in the dual suppression from both inside and outside, which prevented the emperor from having direct contact with the ministers outside the court.
Only in this way can the court officials completely know only the Cui family and not the emperor.
Once the emperor takes control of the inner court and has the opportunity to rule the country, no matter how powerful the Cui family is, they will not be able to completely control the overall situation.
Because it is impossible for Cui to control everyone in the outer court.
Not only he said so at that time, Liu Zhi and Liu Wenshan also held this view.
pity……
Lu Qian felt a little depressed and sighed, "Perhaps as the Prime Minister, you have too many things to consider...
But when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the braver one wins.
Isn't the power struggle in the court sometimes just a competition of who is more willing to take risks and who compromises first?
After all, the world is still under the rule of the Qin Dynasty. The Emperor is not afraid of further chaos, so what are you afraid of?"
But no matter what, Cui Cen hesitated at that time, and the time for hesitation had passed.
He even gave up his only armed force.
When he heard the news, he was shocked.
As a powerful official, he actually gave the only knife in his hand to someone else. It's simply...
Sure enough, the emperor then began to press forward unscrupulously.
Even the properties under his control were transferred out one after another, either openly or secretly.
As the Minister of the Imperial Household, he could do nothing but watch the Imperial Household become an empty shell.
What can I do?
check?
How to check?
The Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Eastern Depot, and the newly established Western Depot are all the emperor's people. Who will investigate?
At this point, why ask him what he thinks?
Lu Qian had a blank expression on his face, and said calmly, "I am a foolish person, so I will rely on the teacher for everything. The teacher has only one order, and I will obey you until I die."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire meeting hall fell silent.
Lu Qian's words sounded fine on the surface, but they revealed a chilling sense of despair.
Everyone's heart tightened slightly.
Has Cui Dang reached this point?
Just as everyone was silent, Tong Guanyue flew into a rage upon hearing Lu Qian's words. He couldn't help but slam the table again, his face flushed, and he angrily said, "Brother, how can you say such discouraging words?"
Both of them are Cui Cen's disciples. Although Tong Guanyue's status as a disciple is a bit shallow, he usually doesn't dare to call him "teacher" directly in front of others, but calls him Prime Minister like everyone else.
But he addressed Lu Qian as his brother.
This was because he was still quite convinced of Lu Qian, but at this time he was very angry about Lu Qian's words.
Lu Qian said nothing, but Han Zhuowu smiled and nodded, saying, "Guanyue Jun is right. Although what Lu Shaofu said was a loyal and righteous statement, it lacked a bit of sharpness."
Then he asked with a smile: "But I wonder if Guanyue Jun has any good ideas."
Tong Guanyue saw that he was the one questioning this person, but this person cleared himself out and turned to question his fellow disciples. He couldn't help but grit his teeth.
But after getting angry for a while, he still couldn't come up with any good idea.
There are very few means of fighting back now, except for submitting petitions for protest and impeachment.
But this kind of thing can be said to be useful, but it is also really useless if you say it is useless.
The emperor didn't have to do anything else, just ignore it and they would be helpless.
As for the rest, what else can Cui Dang do?
No, I should say there are.
After all, as the core of Cui Party, he knew some of Cui Cen's secrets.
He knew Cui Cen still had a card in his hand.
But once that card is used, regardless of victory or defeat, the Cui family and their followers will inevitably be ruined and even exterminated.
That's a real fight to the death.
And that card must never be revealed lightly.
He thought for a long time, and finally said in a cold voice: "Why not knock on the gate?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned horrified.
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
After a while, someone whispered.
The others also nodded slightly.
However, there were also people who remained silent, their expressions changing constantly.
This includes Lu Qian and Han Zhuowu.
The two looked at Tong Guanyue at this time, feeling a little surprised.
They didn't expect that Tong Guanyue would be so courageous.
Of course, it is also possible that this guy just blurted it out without considering the consequences at all.
