Yun Li had a headache.
Xu Shifu also had a headache.
Now, it’s not a question of whether Emperor Wen abdicates or not!
Emperor Wen closed all the doors of the palace, obviously wanting them to discuss and come up with a result!
How should they deal with the difficult problem that Yun Zheng threw at them?
If we can’t come to an agreement, we’ll all just starve here!
At the moment, fighting is definitely impossible.
They are currently attacking those clans and powerful families. If they go to war with the Northern Army at this time, those clans and powerful families will jump up and stab them!
If we don't fight, we have to find a way to appease the Northern Army.
The best way, of course, is to push someone to take the blame.
...
...
But now, who should be pushed out?
It is definitely impossible to push Yun Li out.
Or, throwing dirty water on other princes?
That’s a solution!
It can not only allow Yun Li to escape unscathed, but also eliminate the threat posed to Yun Li by other princes.
But the biggest problem at the moment is that no matter how they discuss it, the matter will ultimately have to be decided by Emperor Wen!
Moreover, Yun Zheng would most likely not buy it if other princes were pushed out to take the blame!
How deep is the grudge between Yun Zheng and Yun Li? How could he not know?
Today, Yun Zheng is in the limelight, and if they don’t push someone else to take the blame, Yun Zheng will definitely take the blame!
If Yun Zheng doesn't buy it, the matter will still be blamed on Yun Li.
Headache, a terrible headache.
Even though Xu Shifu prided himself on his intelligence, he now didn't know what to do.
"If you ask me, we should just ignore it! I don't believe that the Sixth Prince would dare to lead his troops south in defiance of the world!"
"Why wouldn't you dare, Sixth Prince? Send your two sons to Fuzhou first, then tell me if you dare or not!"
"That's right! When someone wants to kill you, would you still consider so much?"
"The Sixth Prince has not yet officially sent troops south. He is just waiting for the court to give him an explanation! If the court does not give an explanation, who can guarantee that the Sixth Prince will not send troops south?"
"Why should we give him an explanation? Traitors should be killed by everyone!"
"Why don't you go to the streets and tell them? Do you think the people in the world will say that you are a traitor or that the Sixth Prince is a traitor?"
"You are slandering me! You are the traitor..."
Soon, there was an uproar in the court.
Emperor Wen is not here anyway, so they can argue as much as they want.
Yun Li was dizzy from the noise and felt both aggrieved and angry.
In the past, court officials also quarreled.
But no matter how much they argued, in the end it was Emperor Wen who made the final decision.
But now, it's his turn to make the decision.
Those who remain in this hall are all important officials in the court.
He did not have the prestige of Emperor Wen, so it was impossible for him to scold all these important ministers.
If he doesn't make the right decision, he will offend people and make them think that he, the prince, is incompetent.
At this moment, Yun Li truly understood the feelings of Emperor Wen when he was facing the quarrels in the court.
"That's enough! Stop arguing!"
Yun Li finally couldn't help but speak up, "Can you expect anything to come of this quarrel? If everyone were locked up in this hall and starved for two days, I don't think you would have the energy to quarrel!"
As Yun Li finished speaking, the arguing among the crowd gradually subsided.
Although some people were dissatisfied with Prince Yun Li, Yun Li's words still touched their hearts.
If we starve everyone for two days, who will have the energy to quarrel?
No matter how much we argue, we still have to come up with a solution to this matter.
Otherwise, everyone will be hungry here!
For a moment, everyone kept silent, only a few old ministers kept sighing.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yun Zheng will not send troops south now.
But if the court does not give Yun Zheng an explanation, then it is hard to say what will happen.
Not to mention that Yun Zheng directly sent troops south, even if Yun Zheng sent troops to approach Fuzhou from time to time, everyone here could not live in peace. They would probably be called to the palace for meetings in the middle of the night.
"Duke Jingguo, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Yun Li took the initiative to ask Xu Shifu.
"At this time, the imperial court should focus on appeasing the Northern Army."
Xu Shifu stroked his beard lightly. "In my humble opinion, we should first clarify the matter and find out who is sending people to assassinate the Sixth Prince and to sow discord between the imperial court and the Northern Army! Then, we can talk about how to appease the Northern Army..."
Xu Shifu carefully analyzed the current situation.
Yun Li heard this and couldn't help but want to curse.
Who is sending people to assassinate that bastard Lao Liu? Doesn’t Xu Shifu know?
He said a lot, wasn't it all nonsense?
Seeing Yun Li secretly winking at him, Xu Shifu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
madness!
Disassociate yourself from this first, understand?
Only after we have cleared up our relationship with Yun Li’s party can we talk about the rest!
Otherwise, everyone would think that Yun Li was sending people to assassinate Yun Zheng, so wouldn't the blame be directed at them?
Xu Shifu ignored Yun Li and pretended not to see Yun Li's expression and continued his analysis.
Anyway, in the final analysis, someone wants to sow discord between the imperial court and the Northern Army.
The underlying meaning is also very clear. Yun Li is the crown prince, and it is definitely impossible for him to sow discord between the court and Yun Zheng at this time.
The Northern Army and the Imperial Court were in conflict, and whoever benefited would become the object of suspicion.
When the time comes, if you need to find someone to take the blame, don’t look for Prince Yun Li.
If Yun Li offered benefits to appease the Northern Army, it was not because he was guilty, but because he was thinking about the court.
They discussed as they pleased.
But Emperor Wen had not yet abdicated.
The final decision-making power still lies with Emperor Wen!
After Xu Shifu finished his analysis, he let everyone continue the discussion. He pulled Yun Li aside and whispered to him the interests involved, so that Yun Li would not be confused and not know what was going on.
Yun Li finally understood Xu Shifu's intention and cast an approving look at him.
On the other side, the ministers continued their discussion.
"At this time, we should first appease the Northern Army and not give them a chance to cause trouble."
"That's true! However, if you want to appease the Northern Army, it will probably cost a lot of money!"
"You can appease them, but you can't appease them with money! The Northern Army's move is tantamount to threatening the court! If the court compromises this time, they will do the same thing next time! In the long run, what will the court become?"
"Lord Li is right. The imperial court must not use money to appease the Northern Army just because of the slightest movement..."
Under the threat of being starved if they couldn't come to a conclusion, everyone finally began to discuss seriously.
However, no matter how much they discussed, they still split into two factions.
No one had any objection to appeasing the Northern Army.
But there are huge differences on how to appease.
Anyway, what everyone says makes sense.
Yun Li listened to it, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Of course, he didn't want to use money to appease the Northern Army!
Isn't giving money to the Northern Army the same as aiding the enemy?
But if he didn't use silver to appease them, he didn't know how to appease the Northern Palace Army.
The main thing is that he doesn't know how to appease that bastard Lao Liu.
This bastard is so sinister and cunning, and the most important thing is that he only cares about money!
Without substantial benefits, there is no way to appease this bastard!
Headache!
A terrible headache.
Just when Yun Li was having a headache, Mu Shun suddenly turned back.
Mu Shun trotted over to Yun Li and said, "This is a letter from the Sixth Prince to His Majesty. His Majesty ordered me to give it to His Majesty the Crown Prince..."
After handing the letter to Yun Li, Mu Shun immediately withdrew.
Yun Li opened the letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Li's face twitched suddenly...
