"...Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life, thank you Your Majesty..." Mr. Hong stepped back with great gratitude for saving his life, not daring to say another word, and the people around him became even quieter because of this farce.
Si Junyan frowned when he saw that no one came forward from below. They were all a bunch of cowardly rats!
Seeing that no one came forward, Gu Xi looked at Si Junyan's gloomy face again, pondered in his heart, stood up and stepped forward, "Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Gu Xi, the biological father of the current queen and Si Junyan's father-in-law, faced the tyrannical Si Junyan at this moment. Compared with those timid officials, he seemed as calm as before.
When Gu Xi came out of the queue, Si Junyan relaxed his brows and looked at the old man with sharp eyes like an eagle for a long time. Finally, he slowly looked back, picked up the slightly cold tea in front of him, and took a sip.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is not the same as in the past. On the surface, all countries are calm, but in fact, they are turbulent. The old minister guessed that the appearance of the ghost palace was accidental. It is most likely that it was deliberately done by other countries in order to break the peace between the four countries.
If something arises, we must not be able to alert the enemy!"
Gu Xi was indeed thinking more than ordinary people. It was not that no one had thought about what he said, but even if they had thought about it, no one dared to say it rashly, for fear of what the unstable emperor would do to them!
"Yes, I have thought about this matter, but...the Prime Minister thinks that I should sit back and wait for death, or should I strike first?" After saying this, Si Junyan deliberately glanced at Master Hong's place, and was very surprised.
It was obvious that the opponent bent down and was shocked again.
"This..." Gu Xi was somewhat prepared, lowering his head to cover up the shrewdness flashing in his turbid eyes, "I feel that neither is possible!"
"Huh?" Si Junyan's dark eyes looked unfathomable, and his originally casual gaze also showed interest.
Seeing that Si Junyan didn't say anything, Gu Xi continued: "We don't know which country the Ghost Palace is made by, and this is just our guess. If you believe it, you may fall into the other party's trick. If you don't believe it,
If you want to be hostile to the four countries, you might as well have a Hongmen Banquet!"
Si Junyan's deep eyes flashed inexplicably, but his face showed no emotion. He glanced at the ministers who were looking up and said, "Prime Minister, please obey!"
"Old minister, please obey!" Gu Xi's face straightened and he knelt down.
"It is indeed a blessing for the people of the world that the four countries have had good relations for two years. Today I will appoint you as the envoy of the four countries to invite the kings of the four countries to come to our Tianqi to gather together! ...Retreat from the imperial court!"
"Old minister...obey the order!"
Gu Xi looked at the bright yellow figure who was far away, and the expression on his already old face changed in an instant, making it impossible to guess what he meant!
