Chapter 336 My lord, second the motion!
Such a minister would never have any selfish motives and would only consider Great Qin.
However, Emperor Qin turned a blind eye to this and said coldly: "Oh? How do you think we can resist the Taoist sect, my dear? Now that my country, the Qin Dynasty, is in the same position as the Taoist sect, should I let you go?"
"This..." The minister hesitated for a while. He was just a civil servant. From the perspective of Da Qin, he felt that this matter was inappropriate. The reason was just mentioned. It can be said that he had no selfish motives.
It's not a joke to ask him to resist Daomen!
For a moment, he was a little speechless.
"Hmph!" Emperor Qin snorted coldly and said lightly: "My dear friends, do you have any other opinions?"
The eyes of all the ministers fell on Xun Yu, but Xun Yu acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him and showed no intention to persuade Emperor Qin, as if he acquiesced.
However, Xun Yu does not object, which does not mean that others do not object.
"My lord, I have this report!" I saw one person walking out from among the hundreds of officials. This person was none other than Cui Yan, the Minister of War.
Emperor Qin was a little surprised, because he felt a little guilty towards Ji Chuan after acquitting him and reinstating him.
As soon as Cui Yan stood up, Emperor Qin said with a smile: "It's accurate!"
Xun Yu turned around slowly and glanced at Cui Yan unexpectedly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, I think that establishing Shaolin as the state religion of the Qin Dynasty is actually a recipe for disaster. You must not do it." Cui Yan bowed and said in a high-pitched voice, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Wow!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were in an uproar. Cui Shangshu, who had always been His Majesty's right-hand man, today, uncharacteristically opposed His Majesty, and openly opposed it in full view of the public.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of discussion suddenly sounded and became more and more intense. Even though the emperor frowned, it still did not calm down.
Among them, there are several ministers with flashing eyes, ready to make a move.
Xun Yu glanced at Cui Yan again, his expression indifferent, but if you look carefully, you can definitely see the subtle changes in his eyes.
"What does Cui Shangshu mean by this?" Emperor Qin's face immediately turned cold. It was obvious that Emperor Qin was holding back his anger. If Cui Yan didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would definitely be punished by thunderous wrath.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. Shaolin has always regarded itself as the supreme martial arts master, and is extremely arrogant. The rumors in the world are not good. Your Majesty can see clearly.
As Mr. Chen said before, once Shaolin is established as the state religion, Shaolin builds temples and preaches everywhere, its power will expand rapidly.
At that time, it will be even more terrifying than the Three Avenue Gate. Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee that Shaolin will use its power to interfere in political affairs.
I hope Your Majesty will think twice. "
Cui Yan's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he talked eloquently and analyzed the shortcomings. No one would think that he deliberately wanted to be defeated by the Qin Emperor, but that he was loyal to the emperor and the country.
Only Emperor Qin knew that Cui Yan must be resentful and therefore acted against him at this time.
Unfortunately, what Cui Yan didn't know was that Emperor Qin wanted all the ministers to oppose him, but he couldn't show it on the surface.
Emperor Qin had a cold face and remained silent for a long time. Cui Yan stood there with his body bowed, waiting.
Emperor Qin is also waiting...
Hold each other in a stalemate.
After a long time, Emperor Qin said: "I have already promised Master Abbot Shaolin about this matter, and I have kept my promise. Are you going to make me lose my word?"
Cui Yan said bluntly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Without His Majesty's imperial edict and without announcing it to the world, Shaolin has nothing to do. Shaolin must not be allowed to become the state religion of the Qin Dynasty."
"How outrageous, Cui Aiqing made me lose my words. I didn't expect such heart-breaking words to come from Aiqing." Emperor Qin narrowed his eyes. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. This Cui Yan was a bit ridiculously brave.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
He couldn't help but look thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I have no selfish motives. Everything is considered from the perspective of Da Qin and Your Majesty." Cui Yan was not afraid at all. He looked at Emperor Qin and immediately lowered his head, saying in a deep voice.
Emperor Qin didn't even look at him. He turned to look at the other ministers and said calmly: "What do you all think?"
"I agree with what Cui Shangshu said. What Master Cui said is by no means alarmist. Shaolin is very ambitious and must be guarded against."
This is the Minister of Rites!
"My lord, second the motion!"
This is the Minister of Justice!
"My lord, second the motion!"
"My lord, second the motion!"
"My lord, second the motion!"
…
…
…
In just a short moment, dozens of court officials walked out of the two columns and expressed their agreement with Cui Yan's point of view.
The rest of the ministers had dull faces. They had not yet reacted to the 'secondary proposals' just now. When they came back to their senses, everyone looked shocked.
How long? ..
How long has it been!
How long has it been since there was such a one-sided situation? The last time, it was Mr. Xun Yu who initiated it, and all the officials worked together to force His Majesty.
But Cui Yan is so virtuous and capable, he can command hundreds of officials and has a large number of followers.
No need to say much, just two words of second opinion can explain the point of view and lift Cui Yan to the top.
At this moment, Cui Yan was shining brightly, even more brilliantly than Xun Yu, who was standing alone and alone.
Cui Yan didn't expect so many ministers to follow him. He originally thought that the Taoist sect would persuade at most a dozen ministers, or maybe even just a few.
Who would have expected that Dao Sect spent a lot of money to convince dozens of ministers, occupying almost half of the entire court.
Even though His Majesty was once extremely powerful, at that time, he did not dare to ignore the opposition of so many ministers and insist on making Shaolin the state religion of the Qin Dynasty.
Cui Yan had to sigh with emotion as Dao Sect succeeded. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
At this time, Cui Yan was extremely confident and had the support of many ministers, many of whom were hostile forces. They seemed to be closely related to fight against the Qin Emperor together.
These will be his future team.
Cui Yan began to think about the future, wondering if what Men promised would come true?
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xun Yu.
Xun Yu seemed to feel something. He turned around and looked into Cui Yan's eyes. Cui Yan was not afraid or gave in. He nodded and smiled slightly.
Xun Yu took it indifferently, turned his head, lowered his head slightly, and his face became ugly.
I don't know why, Cui Yan is particularly sharp today. With whose influence, he dared to refute His Majesty like this in the court. Even though he was very tactful back then, he was not as sharp as he is today. Xun Yu lowered his head and pondered.
"Do you all think so?" Emperor Qin's face was cold, without any anger showing up. Because of this, it was even more terrifying.
But Cui Yan is not afraid. If he dares to stand up today, there will no longer be any possibility of giving in.
When Emperor Qin finished speaking, no one spoke. Cui Yan was so sharp, who dared to speak.
Support the emperor and offend Cui Yan!
Supporting Cui Yan offends His Majesty!
Why ask for trouble? If you say more, you will make more mistakes. Otherwise, stay silent!
"What do Xun Aiqing think?" Emperor Qin's eyes fell on Xun Yu, hoping to use him to suppress Cui Yan's arrogance.
Xun Yu bowed and said in a deep voice: "My lord, second my opinion!"
"boom!"
The scene suddenly became a sensation. As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, it meant that the matter was finalized and the establishment of Shaolin as the state religion was aborted.
