When Prime Minister Zuo heard what he said, he immediately made a gesture to silence him.
After looking left and right and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he spoke to the Minister of Rites again.
"Are you desperate for your life? How dare you say such nonsense? Be careful that the walls have ears. Just these words are enough to hang your family's heads on the city wall!"
he reminded.
Their emperor is not a vegetarian. If something goes wrong for him, he will find a reason to kill the ministers.
That is to say, Prince Zhan Yun is like this. The emperor has nothing to do with him. Otherwise, there would be no Prince Zhan Yun. He would have been killed by the old emperor long ago.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the emperor, people like them are dispensable, and it would not be a pity to die.
However, it is precisely because they are dispensable and can occasionally do things for the emperor that they can survive. If they were replaced by someone smarter, they could help the emperor do everything he wanted to do. Look,
Would the old emperor be as afraid of them as he was of Qian Jiyun, Prince Zhanyun?
"I'm just talking."
The Minister of Rites was reminded and was frightened. He looked around like Prime Minister Zuo and then murmured softly.
"We, as we have no role to speak, can only watch certain people show their faces in front of the Emperor." Prime Minister Zuo raised his eyes and looked forward faintly.
Directly in front of him was the Prime Minister You, who was walking with several ministers, discussing where to start in order to catch the Third Prince and the people in the Zhanyun County Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.
"What's so good about showing your face?"
Although the Minister of Rites is timid, he is not stupid either.
For them, what good is this kind of appearance? The old emperor is getting old and becoming more and more cruel and unkind.
How long can such an emperor sit on the throne? One year, two years, or ten years?
He thought, impossible.
It would have been possible, if he had not charged the Third Prince with brother-killing.
But now everything is too late. The Third Prince's Northern Shu army has not been captured. Although the east side is in chaos, it is still controlled by the people of Prince Zhanyun.
And the southern border...
"Brother Zhou, do you really think that King De has taken control of the southern border?" He asked the doubt that had always existed in his heart.
Upon hearing the question from the Minister of Rites, Prime Minister Zhou raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Although King De is a bit smart, he is still too young compared to Prince Zhan Yun. He is not even as good as the Third Prince. If he can control the southern border...
"Haha, what do you think?"
"The Eighteen Villages on the border, how can the subordinates of King Anyang be so easily controlled by outsiders?" The Minister of Rites shook his head and continued to keep his voice low.
If it were really so easy to control, then the Eighteen Villages on the border would have been taken over by Prince Zhanyun over the years, so why wait until now?
Besides, he also believed that King De did not have that kind of ability.
"Your Majesty, I'm too anxious." He shook his head, then shook his head.
"Why."
Prime Minister Zhou also sighed.
They can see this clearly, and I believe other people have some idea of it.
Just like the Right Prime Minister, doesn't he have any ambition in his heart? It's just that in order to agree with the old emperor, he can say anything and do anything.
"Don't say anything anymore, don't say anything anymore."
