Two, he could use the underhand technique and change the story into the fact that the demon and barbarian race had destroyed the Chu Prefecture city and the North guarding King had died defending the city.

All the Dukes had to do was to rectify the name of a dead Prince. Not only could he save the face of the Imperial court, but he could also go one step further and establish the prestige and strength of the Imperial court.

At this moment, a miserable laugh rang out in the hall.

Zheng xinghuai looked around at the silent Dukes, then at the faces of Emperor yuanjing and high Duke Cao. This scholar was both mournful and angry.

“Your Majesty, High Duke Cao, have you forgotten that I was not the only one who witnessed all of this? There were also the members of the diplomatic mission and the 20000 soldiers of Chu Zhou. The millions of common people in the capital who know of this matter, as well as the young students of the Imperial College.” Zheng xinghuai suddenly sneered, ”

“Can you guys stop these people from talking?”

Emperor Yuan jing looked down at him with deep mockery in his eyes. He said lightly, ‘”Withdraw the court, we’ll discuss this tomorrow!”

Huaiqing Manor.

In the pavilion in the back garden, huaiqing and Xu Qi ‘an were playing chess by the stone table.

“The day before yesterday, one heard that Lin ‘an went to look for Imperial father to question the truth and was blocked outside the Imperial study. She had a stubborn character and refused to leave, so she was fined two months of her allowance. I originally thought she would go again, but the next day, the

Crown Prince was assassinated.”

Huaiqing’s fair and slender fingers twirled a white chess piece as he chatted with a cold expression.

“The Crown Prince should still be alive, right?” Xu Qi ‘an stared at the go board for a long time without placing a piece.

“I’m just slightly injured.” Huaiqing said indifferently.

The two of them played chess for a while. She seemed to find it boring to play chess with Xu yinluo, so she found another topic.”Have you heard of what happened in the court today?”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded with a gloomy face,”the Lords were defeated, but His Majesty didn’t get any benefits either.” It will probably be a long tug of war.”

Huaiqing raised his beautiful and refined face. His black and bright eyes were like a clear pool after autumn. He stared at him and actually laughed. “You truly aren’t suitable for the Imperial court.”

Did I say something wrong? why must you attack me like this … Xu Qi ‘an frowned.

“This chess game is also boring. Bengong has no interest, so it is better to review today’s court matters with you.” Princess huaiqing gently threw the chess piece into the bamboo Chess Box.

Xu Qi ‘an’s spirit was lifted.

today, the court was discussing how to deal with the Chuzhou case. The Lords asked father to confirm King Huai’s crime, demote him to a commoner, and hang his head in the city for three days … Imperial father was so mournful that he lost control of his emotions and raised a big case, berating the officials.” Huaiqing laughed. what a good trick. First, you shut yourself in the palace for a revv aays to avoid tne snarp eage, ana let tne angry civil ana military ornclals hit cotton.

“When they calm down and stabilize their emotions, they will lose their unstoppable drive. Not only did he destroy the last of the Lords “courage, but he even turned the tables on them, making them wary and cautious …” This was like two people fighting. One of them suddenly went crazy and grabbed a brick to hit his own head. The other person would definitely be instinctively afraid and cautious, thinking that he was crazy. It wasn’t a smart trick, but it was very useful … Xu Qi ‘an had to admit that Emperor Yuan jing had some skills.

“Then, the Ministry of Rites accused chief advisor Wang of being a beggar. This was his father’s plan to kill two birds with one stone. First, he would defeat chief advisor Wang, and then he would have one less enemy in this court session. It can also intimidate the officials and serve as an example to others.” Huaiqing took a sip of tea and said,

“Fortunately, Lord Wei acted in time. Didn’t you want to punish Chief Assistant Wang? Then don’t leave any room for negotiation. However, this was contrary to his father’s original intention. He didn’t really want to get rid of chief advisor Wang, as this would allow the Duke of Wei’s family to monopolize the power. Heh, to Lord Wei, it’s a wonderful thing to take this opportunity to get rid of chief advisor Wang.”

Xu Qi ‘an swallowed his saliva and unconsciously straightened his posture.

“The plan of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys failed. Father immediately asked the left imperial censor Yuan Xiong to take action and bring out the face of the imperial family … You have to know that since ancient times, the dignity of the royal family has been second only to the dignity of the Imperial court. It has a natural pressure on the Dukes.” Princess huaiqing said in a deep voice.

As a subject, he wanted to make the royal family lose face. This would undoubtedly give the Lords psychological pressure … Xu Qi ‘an nodded slowly.

The battle between people was nothing more than a battle of strength and psychological games.

It was just like a phrase he had often heard before he transmigrated:pua

“This is to pave the way for King Li’s subsequent appearance. Yuan Xiong is not a member of the imperial family, and father is not suitable to be the one cursing. The highly respected King Li was the best character. Even though Lord Wei broke this move.”

As huaiqing tidied up the chess pieces, he said,”But King Li’s actions have some effect. And all of this was to pave the way for the appearance of Duke Cao.

“I’ll use the face of the Imperial court and the imperial family to move them with emotion. They could use the outcome of killing the barbarians and demons to explain. Even though the Chu Prefecture city was gone, it was all the work of the monster and barbarian races.

“The people have long been used to the savagery of the monsters and barbarians, so they can easily accept this ending. However, the monster race and the Barbarian race didn’t gain any advantage because North vanquishing Lord killed the leader of the Barbarian race’s Qingyan tribe and severely injured the leader of the monster race’s North, Zhu Jiu.

“Let me ask you, if the people hear this news and are willing to accept it, what will happen?”

Xu Qi ‘an said bitterly, “the fall of the Chu Prefecture city is not that unacceptable.” Because all the blame was on the demons and barbarians, and on the war.

“The North vanquishing Prince has also turned from a murderer to a hero who guards the gate of the country for the great Minister. Moreover, he also killed a third-grade barbarian expert, which is a great contribution.”

Princess huaiqing nodded. Her voice was clear and beautiful, but the topic she asked was particularly heart-wrenching.” If you were one of the Dukes, what would you choose?”

Xu Qi ‘an did not answer.

The North-guarding King was simply a dead man. If he was still alive, the Lords would do everything they could to bring him down.

But he was dead now. What threat could a dead man pose? This way, the core motivation of the Lords would be reduced by half.

If it was really as High Duke Cao had said, that he could reverse the truth of the Chuzhou City massacre case and turn this matter from a scandal to a great victory worthy of praise …

Then why not?

“Father’s next plan is to promise benefits,” Huai Qing said.”ln the Imperial court, benefits are eternal. If his father wanted to change the outcome, in addition to the above strategy, he had to make enough concessions. The Dukes will think that if the scandal can really be turned into a good thing, and there are benefits to be gained, will they still be so insistent?”

Xu Qi ‘an’s face darkened.

“Once the majority of people change their minds, Lord Wei and chief advisor Wang will become the ones to face the rolling trend. However, they can’t close the palace gates and can’t stop the surging momentum.” Huaiqing’s cold smile carried a hint of mockery.

Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t tell if she was mocking Emperor Yuan jing, the Lords, or Wei

Yuan and chief advisor Wang.

Perhaps both, or perhaps, she was also mocking herself.

“No, this matter is so big that it can’t be solved by a mere announcement from the court. The rumors in the capital are like fire, and if you want to reverse the rumors, you need a good reason. He can block the mouths of the officials in court, but he can’t block the mouths of the people of the world.” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.

“Father still has. backup plan …” “I don’t know, but I’ve never underestimated him,” huaiqing sighed.

The two of them didn’t say anything else. After a moment of silence, huaiqing said in a low voice, ‘”‘This matter has nothing to do with you. Don’t do anything stupid.”

She didn’t think that I could play any role in this matter. I’m just a small Viscount, a small silver Gong. I can’t even enter the throne room. How can I fight with the king of a country?

I’m still too young to fight. and even huaiqing doesn’t think I’m good enough . Xu Qi ‘an grinned, revealing an ugly smile.

However, I’m the hero who killed Ji Li and Zhi Gu.

Yamen, noble spirit building.

After lunch, Wei Yuan took a short nap and was woken up by an official who came in.

“Duke Wei, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace.” The clerk bowed.

……. Wei Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then said in a gentle voice,

“”Prepare the car..”
