Legend of the Holy God of Douluo

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tianshu, the Minister of Rites, walked out slowly from the line of civil servants. His expression was a little hesitant, but he soon seemed to have made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, I am telling you that this humble minister is old and unable to handle government affairs. May your Majesty give me his bones and return them to the army."

As soon as these words came out, there was an explosion among the civil servants. Except for the six ministers who were headed by him, who looked normal, the other officials were shocked. At this time, they looked at their boss standing in front of them, who was under the pressure of Xue Qinghe. , Xu Ping, the Minister of Rites, had mixed feelings in his heart.

He lowered his head and murmured softly.

"It's finally here."

At this moment, Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Tianshu, who was bowing in the audience, and Dai Yuan had a playful smile on his face.

But soon, the expressions on the faces of all the officials returned to their original state. The people who could stand here were all people who had been in the officialdom for many years. Regarding Zhao Tianshu's behavior, and by observing the expressions on the faces of the other five ministers, They can guess the clues with just a little thought.

Although Zhao Tianshu said this, in fact, this is a way of retreating in order to advance.

Regarding Dai Yuan, the regent who landed in the air, all the officials knew that the current King Wu was still friendly with them. When Tuoba Xi and others entered the city, it would not be long before they and all the humerus ministers would be replaced one by one. Maybe by then The best outcome for their Majesty is to end up in name only, and he will most likely be belittled or even secretly eliminated.

And when the time comes, these "veterans of the former dynasty" will 100% be on the list to be dealt with.

They wanted to use this period of time to find a way out for themselves, and Zhao Tianshu's move today was to test the hearts of Xue Qinghe and Dai Yuan. Once they agreed to let him step down and return to their fields, the other five Shangshu would resign without hesitation.And if they take the lead, most other officials will choose to follow.

By then, the entire country will be paralyzed, and this political instability is likely to breed many social conflicts. Even if Wuhundian takes over the country by then, the problems they face will definitely cause headaches for those in power. extremely.

This may seem like an ordinary resignation, but behind it is the entire bureaucracy playing a game with Xue Qinghe and Dai Yuan.

The entire hall fell into a subtle silence, and everyone was waiting for what decision the two people on the stage would make.

This is a silent struggle without smoke.

Soon, a chuckle broke the silence, Xue Qinghe said softly.

"What are you talking about, Zhao Aiqing? Although you are more than sixty years old, your strength is still at the level of the Soul Sect. At this time, it is too early to talk about resigning and cultivating yourself."

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die for my crime, but this stubborn disease in my body has been tormenting me for many years. Now I am more than willing but not strong enough. Please agree to it, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Tianshu was obviously still dissatisfied with Xue Qinghe's somewhat ambiguous words before, and immediately spoke more firmly.

After saying this, he felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. His eyes glanced at Wang Yuanji, who was calm and composed beside him. Only he knew the feeling in his heart.

"Okay, the empire still needs you, don't say this again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Yuan chuckled and raised his hand to interrupt.

"Brother Xue is wrong. Since Mr. Zhao is old and frail, it is better to let him retire and return to his hometown. I believe this is also his long-cherished wish."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at Dai Yuan in disbelief. The confusion in their eyes undoubtedly did not reflect the shock in his heart. Their Majesty had just spoken. When they originally thought that their black gauze hats had been temporarily saved, but this young man's behavior These words undoubtedly knocked them down into the abyss.

At this moment, Zhao Tianshu, who was about to stand up and thank the Holy Lord for his kindness, also looked at Dai Yuan on the stage with trembling eyes. At this time, he really couldn't say anything and could only look for help at Wang Yuanji who was not far away. .

"Brother Dai, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Zhao Aiqing has worked diligently for the empire for so many years and is my loyal minister of Heaven. Such treatment may chill the hearts of all the officials and the people of the world."

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be on his side, Wang Yuanji took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the line of ministers, came to Zhao Tianshu and knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, now that Zhao Tianshu, the Minister of Rites, has made this representation, I am too embarrassed to continue in this position shamelessly. We should make way for the younger generation and give our Tiandou a brand new look. !”

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining five ministers walked out of the queue, followed closely by the ministers and officials at all levels. They all knelt down to resign. The grand scene was unprecedented.

Seeing the officials acting in such a unified manner, Xue Qinghe was briefly shocked and then became furious.

"You, what on earth do you want to do! Do you still have a country in your eyes, do you have the hundreds of millions of people in Tiandou!"

Xue Qinghe's scolding echoed in their hearts like a constant stream of alarm bells, but at this moment, the powerful officials had condensed into an unmoving mountain. They faced Xue Qinghe's thunderous anger without saying a word, their faces etched with anger. Determined.

At this time, Xue Qinghe looked at Dai Yuan aside, and then said in a humble tone.

"Brother Dai, can you take back your life? They are all capable ministers who have made great contributions to our Tiandou. They should not be dealt with so hastily in any case. Moreover, each of them holds great power. Once they agree, the consequences will be unimaginable. Then the world will be in chaos."

At this time, Xue Qinghe revealed what the ministers below were thinking. They were moved and strengthened their thoughts.

Dai Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised the corners of his mouth. Looking at the sincere expression on Xue Qinghe's face opposite him, he couldn't help but sigh again at the other party's superb acting skills.

Then, he smiled and waved his hand.

"In that case, let's keep them all as Brother Xue said."

When all the ministers heard this, they were all happy. In their hearts, even Dai Yuan, who was so powerful at this time, had to compromise under the pressure of all parties. This was the result they wanted to see most.

However, the next second, Dai Yuan'e's words directly knocked them to the bottom.

"Come here, take them all into the palace prison. No one can be released without my order!"

Wang Yuanji and others suddenly looked up at Dai Yuan. Their eyes were full of shock. They never expected that the other party would do this.

"Why, we respect etiquette and abide by the law, and have never done anything harmful to nature. Why are we put in prison? King Wu, please give me an explanation!"

At this moment, everyone had lost their skin. Dai Yuan had already decided to put them in prison, and the knife was already placed on their necks. At this time, it was no longer necessary to be friendly with each other.

"Explain, does collaborating with Xuexing's enemy count?"
