Puppet emperor? Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 735 Military Remonstrance

Listened to what he said.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes.

He had already guessed what the other party was going to say.

"Prime Minister, all the gentlemen, Wei Yufeng, Lord Wei, was convicted of corruption by the Prime Minister some time ago. I'm sure everyone still remembers this incident."

Everyone looked at him. Of course they knew this person.

Wei Yufeng was guilty of corruption and had embezzled a large amount of money. Moreover, the matter had become a foregone conclusion and even the owner didn't know why he was bringing this up, because in their opinion it was totally unnecessary.

It can't be that he is trying to turn the tables on this person.

This person's sin is unforgivable.

After discovering the other party's crime of corruption, he seized a large amount of gold, silver and treasures from his home. This was definitely not something he could do as a fifth-rank official.

Not to mention a fifth-rank official, even a third-rank official might not have as much wealth as him.

Not to mention that a lot of other evidence was found in his home.

Such irrefutable evidence is enough to make him accept the most severe punishment from the Great Qian Kingdom forever.

Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Of course I remember. I personally handled that matter and detained the person myself. After all, this is the biggest corruption case since my Great Qian Kingdom became an upper country."

"Master Zhou, if you have anything to say, please say it now."

Someone spoke.

Recently, because the Holy King left the Great Qian Kingdom, the internal affairs of the Great Qian Kingdom have become a lot busier.

They don't have time to listen to this nonsense.

Although they don't know why Mr. Zhou said these things, in their opinion, the person mentioned now is the most corrupt official who is not as good as Banyan Tree.

Even among those who are loyal there is still some corruption.

After all, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate corruption, as there will be selfishness as long as there are people.

They could even see it.

In the past, corruption actually had a certain bottom line. As long as one could grasp that bottom line, the crime would not be too serious.

But Wei Yufeng's problem has far exceeded this bottom line.

According to the laws of the Great Qian Kingdom, once you cross the bottom line, you will face the most severe punishment.

So Wei Yufeng died, and not only died, but it could even be said that his entire family was exiled.

All have been affected.

This situation made them feel a little scared and they dared not to imitate it.

After all, in this world, some civil officials have very powerful interrogation skills.

For example, Mr. Bao Zheng.

His ability enables him to solve cases like a god.

Once a problem occurs, it is difficult to escape.

So now they don't want to mention this person at all, because this person makes them feel unlucky.

There was some dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts.

Then Lord Zhou immediately continued:

“After Wei Yufeng was executed, Prime Minister Zhuge immediately arranged his happiness in his position. Although Wei Yufeng was only a fifth-rank official, his duties were very important.

Similar situations have happened more than once.

A large number of officials were dismissed by Prime Minister Zhuge, but in the end, the prime minister's own people came to power.

Is the Prime Minister trying to cover up everything?"

He spoke with a stern expression.

After hearing his words, many ministers looked at each other, and there was a hint of deep meaning in their eyes.

Is this like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger?

Or was he coerced?

Everyone knows that if you say something like this at this time, the end result will inevitably be death.

So there is absolutely no way that he came up with this idea himself.

Someone must have used various means to make him say such words.

He didn't even have the chance to refuse.

I just don't know who is behind him.

And we don’t know what the other party is planning to do. Could it be that he wants to challenge Zhuge Liang?

This is no easy task.

What's more, the Holy Lord is not here now.

Even if something goes wrong, there is no protection from the Holy Lord.

Zhuge Liang held the power of life and death and was in charge of government affairs.

Once discovered, it is possible that the person will be beheaded the next day.

Hearing his words, Zhuge Liang chuckled and then said:

“This official, all appointments and selections are based on their talents.

If you think there is any problem, you can speak out, but you should know that this kind of slander is very serious.

Slandering the prime minister of the dynasty is a crime that should be punished by death."

His voice was grim.

The man's eyebrows twitched and there was a hint of fear in his pupils.

But his expression remained firm.

Then he continued:

"Mr. Prime Minister, although you have great power in my Great Qian Kingdom, this is not a reason for you to act recklessly.

Although I am only a minor official of the sixth rank and cannot be compared with you, a senior official of the first rank, I am still a member of the emperor's salary.

It is naturally impossible for you to do such a thing as covering the sky with one hand!

So even if I die today, I will stand up and ask you, what on earth are you doing this for!"

His voice became more and more excited.

One could even hear the endless anger in it.

There was a hint of secret joy in many people's eyes. Finally, someone came to cause trouble for Zhuge Liang.

"Does anyone else have this idea?"

Zhuge Liang spoke directly.

He did not look at the puppet in front of him, but at the other people in the court.

After a moment of silence, a man stood up and said:

"Prime Minister, although I don't want to go against you, I have no choice but to stand up for the sake of my country.

I believe that you are not the kind of person who wants to cover up everything in my Great Qian Kingdom, but your current actions are indeed a little hard for me to understand.

Now the Holy King has left our Great Qian Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, the Great Qian Kingdom was prone to unrest.

If the Prime Minister continues to do this, I will have to remind him that there are some things that cannot be done.

Once you do it, there will be no chance to regret it.”

"That's right!"

"Mr. Prime Minister, you really went too far.

For the sake of the Great Qian Kingdom, we cannot allow you to continue making mistakes."

"Prime Minister, the court is now full of your followers. Your actions are putting the Holy Emperor in a different position!"

"Master Zhuge, you should restrain yourself a little."

Immediately, many people stood up and accused Zhuge Liang one by one.

It almost formed a tsunami.

Those who did not stand up saw this situation and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

This is not a simple accountability at all.

This is an attempt to use force to suppress others and seize power!

Once something like this happens, peaceful evolution will be absolutely impossible.

Many people have begun to feel a little worried, because they have guessed that if this continues, it will sooner or later turn into a fight.

After all, they have seen it very clearly that most of the people who stand up now are actually surrendered ministers from other dynasties.

Because of the power they bring, or the forces they previously belonged to, or the contributions they made in previous wars, they are qualified to stand in the court.

But now the situation is very clear. They are no longer willing to be dominated by Zhuge Liang of Daqian.

They want to gain greater power and become the oar that dominates the Great Qian Kingdom.

Rather than like now.

He seemed to have some power, but in fact he was just following Zhuge Liang.

They could only follow Zhuge Liang's orders, but they had no means of resistance.

"It really gave them a good opportunity."

A minister who also surrendered from other dynasties but did not participate thought.

He doesn't have that much ambition.

And he also knows his own situation very well.

The most important thing is that he understood the cruelty of the ruler of Daqian State.

So under this circumstance, he did not join any faction at all.

Therefore, when these people were discussing forcing the emperor to abdicate, they naturally did not look for him.

He had already guessed what these people were thinking.

They wanted to take advantage of the Holy Emperor's absence from the dynasty to launch a coup.

Treason is impossible.

As long as the ruler is still alive, and as long as there is a semi-saint strongman in charge of the Great Qian Kingdom, there will always be only one person who can have the final say in this dynasty.

But killing Zhuge Liang is possible.

As long as they kill Zhuge Liang, they will be able to expand their own party and power to the extreme.

It might even allow them to replicate the possibility of aristocratic families and the monarch ruling the dynasty together as they did in their own dynasty.

At the same time, some people sighed secretly.

He looked at Zhuge Liang with a bit of pity in his heart.

The law does not punish everyone, which seems simple, but in fact it is the most terrifying weapon.

As long as Zhuge Liang dies before the Holy King returns, even the Holy King will be unable to do anything to them.

Only Bao Zheng and others looked at the criticism in the court but said nothing.

It was as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Zhuge Liang's expression did not change.

"It seems that you are dissatisfied with the current power?"

"Prime Minister, your jokes are all for the sake of the Great Qian Kingdom."

One person stood up.

His expression was calm, and even when facing Zhuge Liang there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from him.

Although he is just a literati, he is also a literati and a national scholar. He entered the national scholar level through his literary virtues. Now, he has reached the level of a ninth-rank national scholar.

It is only a thin line away from the ninth rank.

But this thin line of separation seemed like an insurmountable chasm to him, and he saw no hope of crossing it.

So he chose another way.

That is the fight for luck.

The method of luck is especially important for civil officials.

With enough luck, he would be able to quickly improve his cultivation.

If he could replace Zhuge Liang.

It won't take long before he will be able to reach a realm above the ninth level.

By that time, even if you are a saint king, what good will it be if you come back?

Not only does he carry great power, but he is also above the ninth rank and can play a sufficient role in the Great Qian Kingdom.

Just Zhuge Liang and his followers.

How can we compare with them?

This is value!

"Prime Minister Zhuge, you are unscrupulous and have no interest in pursuing your own interests. You have devoted all your energy to developing your own island, so much so that the entire Great Qian Kingdom has suffered considerable damage because of your actions.

Now, the decision to send troops to various countries has been made when the Holy King is away, which will inevitably be a waste of money and manpower.

Moreover, each country is quite powerful, and if the generals leave, problems will arise.

By then, the entire Daqian Kingdom will have to pay the price for your decision.

Although I am old, I cannot bear to see you act so recklessly.

So now, Prime Minister, if you abdicate on your own accord, I can show leniency to you.

But if you don't know what's good for you, you will still consolidate the interests of the Great Qian Kingdom.

Then I have no choice but to take action against you!"

After saying this, he looked at Bao Zheng and others.

"Everyone, I know that you have a close relationship with Zhuge Liang, but I am only targeting Zhuge Liang's faction.

His actions have been proven beyond doubt, so please do not make the mistake."

"How brave!"

Yu Qian stood up, looking unhappy.

With a somewhat questioning tone.

"Prime Minister Zhuge, under the command of the Holy Lord, all decisions regarding the leadership of the Great Qian State are made by Prime Minister Zhuge.

What you are doing now is rebellion."

Hearing his words, the ninth-rank scholar suddenly laughed.

“Master Yu, you have to see the situation clearly.

What Zhuge Liang did now was not at all for the sake of the holy monarch or the great country of Daqian. All the people he supported were trained by him.

In the eyes of these people, apart from him, Prime Minister Zhuge, there is no one else who is a sage monarch.

This officer knows that you have a good relationship with this Zhuge Liang, but I guess you have to stand up.

That means being an enemy of our Great Qian Kingdom and aiding and abetting the tyrant.

Please think twice!"

As he said this, he suddenly looked at Shi Tiandao who was standing aside with a calm look.

"General Shi Tiandao, isn't it time for you to stand up and say something?"

Hearing that he was suddenly mentioned, Shi Tiandao showed a look of helplessness on his face.

He just wanted to watch the show, but didn't want to get involved.

But now that he has been mentioned, he naturally can't refuse.

"Master Yu, you really should think about this matter carefully."

At the same time, he also exuded an aura above the ninth rank, which was terrifying.

There was no change in Yu Qian's expression.

"This is the capital of the Great Qian Kingdom. You traitors are not the ones who have the final say. Your behavior today is like rebellion. The imperial guards are outside and will never let you do this."

Tensions were high among the crowd.

But the situation was very clear. Even with Shi Tiandao's help, Zhuge Liang's side had fallen into a huge disadvantage.

"Force?"

Someone laughed.

"How could we possibly attack Lord Zhuge? As long as he is willing to hand over the power in his hands, we will naturally be able to let him leave alive.

But if you are unwilling to hand it over, all you righteous men are outside the palace now!"

He looked at Zhuge Liang.

This guy wouldn't think that they are just causing trouble today.

Today, they are going to do it.

It's a military remonstrance!

As long as they kill Zhuge Liang, they will be doing nothing wrong!
