Chapter 335 Objection
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xun Yu said in official words, then stepped aside.
Winning over the demon sect is undoubtedly the best option. The demon sect is weak and can help after wooing them, but they don't have to worry about losing their tail.
Unfortunately, Emperor Qin obviously did not mean this.
Emperor Qin certainly didn't believe this kind of official talk, but he was still very satisfied with Xun Yu's knowledge.
Then, Emperor Qin said with a smile: "Xun Aiqing's proposal coincides with mine. This is the truth.
However, the Demon Sect is weak and is indeed not a suitable target to win over. "
For a time, His Highness was talking a lot, but of course a lot of people remained silent.
This sentence makes it obvious that Emperor Qin has a target to win over, but it is not the Demon Sect.
In other words, Emperor Qin looked down upon the Demon Sect's strength.
Emperor Qin was very satisfied that no one objected. He had to make some decisions back then, which were opposed by many ministers.
Today, I'm afraid it will be the same.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared.
"In recent years, I have heard that the Taoist sect's power has expanded rapidly and once reached an unstoppable situation. I wonder if this is the case?"
Emperor Qin looked down at the officials and asked lightly.
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other in confusion. At this time, a minister walked out of the line of officials and bowed: "Reporting to your Majesty, this is indeed the case.
It's all because foreign races have repeatedly invaded our borders in Great Qin, always waiting for an opportunity to set foot in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Most of the Jinyiwei, Liumen and other Jianghu supervision departments were sent to the North to guard against the alien Jianghu forces.
Therefore, the hinterland of the Central Plains was often neglected, and the Central Plains arena took advantage of this opportunity to develop vigorously.
Not only the Taoist sect, but also the Demonic sect has regained some of its vitality. If this continues for a long time, it will definitely lose its tail. "
Emperor Qin frowned, showing displeasure, and said in a deep voice: "Why has this matter been concealed and not reported, leading to this situation?"
All the ministers murmured in their hearts, if you hadn't gone to court, how could you not have reported it? Moreover, Liu Xiang was responsible for everything in the world, how could they dare to interfere.
Even the Cangxing Dynasty didn't care about Jianghu affairs. They would not meddle in other people's affairs to avoid attracting Liu Xiang's attention. They would have to go to the imperial prison. Whether they could get out was another matter.
I only dare to think about these in my heart, but I dare not say them directly.
Emperor Qin was angry, and all the officials were silent in response.
"You keep talking..."
Emperor Qin restrained his anger and said in a deep voice.
No one knew that Emperor Qin was pretending everything.
The minister was frightened and wanted to show off, but he shot himself in the foot.
But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to shoot, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, although the Taoist sect is powerful, fortunately, your majesty is wise and powerful. He had predicted it earlier and ordered the Jin Yiwei to destroy several Taoist branches in a row, causing the Taoist sect to lose its arrogance. It’s really gratifying that it’s subsided.”
Emperor Qin's face was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, and he was not overjoyed by his words.
"As a civil servant, Aiqing knows so much about Jianghu affairs. You must have put a lot of effort into it, and it's hard for Aiqing."
After a moment of silence, Emperor Qin said approvingly. ..
"I am scared. This is all due to His Majesty's grace. How can I dare to say that it was hard work." The minister felt happy, thinking that His Majesty would remember him. Then, he slowly returned to his place, lowered his head and remained silent.
Who doesn't want to be remembered by His Majesty as a member of the imperial class?
"But as Chen Aiqing said, I ordered the Jinyi Guards to encircle and suppress the Taoist sect before. Unfortunately, the Taoist sect is too strong. A head-on fight with the Taoist sect will probably severely damage the vitality of our great Qin Dynasty, and it will even be unable to resist the aliens..."
Having said this, Emperor Qin showed an ugly look on his face, which was seen by all the ministers.
They could tell that today's court meeting might be a one-man show by Emperor Qin, and they were all spectators.
So just watch.
We haven't waited for them to speak yet. When the time comes, just express their stance.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qin suddenly became tough, "However, if the Taoist sect does not impose more restrictions, it will definitely pose a threat to the imperial court. Therefore, I have roped in helpers to deal with the Taoist sect together."
Xun Yu suddenly said: "I wonder who your Majesty has won over?"
"Buddhism, Buddhism and Taoism have always been at odds with each other, and their strength is as good as that of Taoism. The imperial court and Buddhism joining forces are enough to suppress Taoism." A smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Qin's mouth, quietly waiting for the reaction of the ministers. .
Sure enough, Xun Yu immediately frowned and bowed: "Your Majesty, although Buddhism is called a monk, compared with Taoism, it is far inferior. Buddhism is good at deceiving people, while Taoism advocates purity and nature."
At this point, Xun Yu immediately paused. There was another sentence that he didn't dare to say.
Cooperating with Shaolin is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!
It's just that as a minister and the head of hundreds of officials, he has been in the officialdom for decades, and he knows exactly what to say and what not to say.
In this way, Your Majesty can understand, and there is no need to say it explicitly to embarrass him and prevent him from stepping down.
It was only at this moment that Xun Yu suddenly realized that this was what His Majesty had in mind when he refuted him earlier and refused to cooperate with the Demon Sect.
It's just Buddhism, he really doesn't agree with it.
Emperor Qin had known this for a long time and said with a smile: "Xun Aiqing, don't worry. If Shaolin hadn't blocked the Dao Sect's offensive for us, Da Qin, we, Da Qin, would have fought to the death with the Dao Sect."
Xun Yu realized that it was not good. How could Shaolin be willing to block the way for the imperial court without any reason?
Among them, there must be interests that they don't know about.
"I wonder what benefit your Majesty has promised?" Xun Yu bowed and read a book www.uukanshu. netｔI have a bad feeling in my heart. It is very possible that this morning's meeting was for this matter, and His Majesty has never discussed it with him.
In the past, His Majesty would always discuss matters with him before going to court.
Xun Yu couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the days when His Majesty was a powerful and powerful man. At that time, he was a well-deserved prime minister.
With one word, all officials bowed their heads.
Nowadays, he is just an empty show, almost ignored by King Yan. Even His Majesty can't help himself, let alone a minister?
"Haha, as expected of Xun Aiqing, he really guessed my thoughts. This morning I discussed this matter with you all. In order to express my gratitude to Shaolin, I decided to establish Shaolin as the national religion of the Qin Dynasty and allow it to teach teachings in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. I don't know, my dear friends. What do you think?"
Emperor Qin was sitting on the Dragon Throne, and one could imagine the scene of His Highness after speaking. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, many ministers looked shocked, forgetting even the most basic etiquette.
The low-pitched discussion gradually became louder.
"Absolutely not, Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
At this time, some ministers bowed to His Majesty with a look of sincerity and fear, and then prostrated themselves on the ground, completely remonstrating, which made Emperor Qin frown.
"Why do you say this, my dear? Shaolin defends the Taoist sects for the Qin Dynasty, and resists the foreign martial arts people for the Qin Dynasty. Aren't these enough?" Emperor Qin snorted coldly and asked the ministers below.
"Your Majesty does not know. Once Shaolin is established as the state religion, the Shaolin abbot will inevitably become the national teacher. If things continue like this, Shaolin may interfere in politics and be detrimental to national affairs. I hope your Majesty will think twice."
The minister was prostrate on the ground, looking concerned about the country and the people. What he said was completely reasonable and thoughtful.
