Chapter 1025 The position of the right prime minister
Da Ting Dynasty, Tian Ting Domain, Imperial City.
Sima Hongyi originally wanted to lead the Invalid Army to help the young emperor regain control of the government as soon as possible, but he did not expect that the young emperor Mo Canglue had already taken complete control of everything in just a few days.
In the study room, looking at Mo Canglue, who had a completely different aura and demeanor, Sima Hongyi felt a little sad.
Today, Mo Canglue is wearing a black dragon robe, and he is full of powerful aura, making people subconsciously ignore his somewhat immature face.
"Mr. Sima, thanks to your strategy, we were able to eliminate the two most rebellious officials in the court one by one."
Sima Hong moved and bowed: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. The right time and place are indispensable. It is only with the blessing of Dragon Luck that the Emperor can solve all this smoothly.
In addition, I have something to say, if the emperor wants to use his old ministers, he must hold the military power in his own hands."
Mo Cang nodded slightly and said: "I will naturally adopt Mr. Sima's opinion, but it is thanks to these old ministers that I can completely control the Imperial City and even the six cities of Tianting Domain in the shortest time.
The deal with Tangmen and Supreme Blood Red Square has been completed. Although I feel a little reluctant to cede the four cities, I think it is worth it.
There is something more important now. Now that the position is empty, I would like to ask Mr. Sima to take up the post of prime minister. Is it okay?"
"This is my honor."
Then Mo Canglue took out the imperial edict and token and handed them to Sima Hongyi: "I dare not forget Mr. Sima's kindness, and there is no need for the extra courtesy. I only hope that Prime Minister Sima can assist me in the coming days."
The glory of the Ting Dynasty has returned."
Sima Hongyi took the imperial edict and the token, glanced at the words on the token, and frowned slightly.
Because the token he got was engraved with the three characters "Prime Minister Zuo".
Although Sima Hongyi's expression changed only for a moment, Mo Cang slightly noticed it: "Ouyang Xing's incident has also had a big impact on me, so after thinking about it, I think that the position of prime minister can be used to control the situation, and it can also be avoided.
It’s the same situation again.”
Sima Hongyi looked as usual: "That's the case, the emperor's consideration is correct, but I don't know who will hold the post of right minister."
Immediately, Mo Canglue arranged for the guards in the palace to summon someone, and soon a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe entered the study.
"This is the right prime minister I selected and the former aide of King Lei Kong, Lu Zhi."
Lu Zhi's expression at this time had undergone a huge change from before. There seemed to be an unforgettable hatred between his brows, and even his face had changed from the original gentleness to a somewhat sad one.
"Mr. Sima, I'm here in Luzhi, please take care of me."
Sima Hongyi nodded, immediately returned the salute, and then said briefly to Mo Cang: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to arrange the destruction of the Rong Army, and the Qi Ting Domain of King Lei Rong."
Mo Canglue did not answer, but looked at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi said: "I want to bring it under the control of the emperor as soon as possible. King Lei Rong's sons have nothing to worry about. Without military power in their hands, even if they want to continue to separate the Qi Ting Territory, it is just a wishful thinking."
Sima Hongyi frowned slightly, that's what he said, but King Lei Rong died in order to protect Mo Canglue, and you took over the Qi Ting Domain where he was. It can't be justified.
Lu Zhi seemed to have seen Sima Hongyi's doubts and continued: "Reporting to the emperor, after the death of King Lei Rong, none of his sons had great talents. In terms of martial arts and wisdom, they were all mediocre.
I am confident that I can provoke them to kill each other within three days, and then I can blame their deaths on King Lei Ying and King Lei Cheng. The emperor has great righteousness, so he can kill these two kings one by one on the pretext of avenging King Lei Rong.
By then, it will be everyone's expectation to occupy the Qi Ting Realm again.
And at this time, all the forces' attention is on King Lei Lian, and I believe no one will interfere in the internal affairs of the Da Ting Dynasty.
Even King Lei Rong’s former ally, Haoran Villa, will not stop our army from entering the Qi Ting Territory.”
Mo Cang slightly nodded, even though he saw that Sima Hongyi was a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhi's plan, he said directly: "In that case, I will leave this matter to you, Right Minister.
Prime Minister Zuo, please calm down your emotions in destroying the Rongjun these days."
Sima Hongyi sighed deeply, but did not object.
But after the two left the study, Sima Hongyi looked at Lu Zhi: "Prime Minister Lu, I know what happened to King Lei Kong at that time, but I just hope that you are not joining the emperor's service for pure revenge.
Your plan is good, but it is too poisonous and too aggressive. This may give you an early advantage, but the accumulated hidden dangers will become more and more."
Lu Zhi looked back at Sima Hongyi, his eyes not letting go at all: "But nowadays, opportunities are hard to find. King Lei Lian has the dragon vein and has transferred all the Lian-destroying troops away from the Jin Ting Domain. Looking at the direction of their advance, it is the location of the Dugu Demon Sect.
The water area.
Everyone was curious about what King Lei Lian wanted to do, and wanted to know what the dragon veins in the coffin looked like.
Only in these few days when the focus is all on King Lei Lian can we have this opportunity.
Da Ting is very chaotic right now, and it’s not easy to gain an early advantage, isn’t it?”
Sima Hongyi was silent for a moment without saying anything, but Lu Zhi continued: "Prime Minister Sima, since the emperor has appointed the positions of left and right prime ministers, you and I should not communicate too much.
You are a smart person, so you should understand what I mean."
Sima Hongyi sighed, and then the two of them did not exchange a word along the way. After leaving the palace, they separated directly, one to the left and the other to the right.
Mo Canglue, who was in the study, was reviewing the memorials accumulated over the years while listening to a soldier in armor in front of him report to the two prime ministers on the situation along the way.
After the soldier left, Mo Canglue's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Sima Hongyi walked on the street with some melancholy. His destination was the newly cleared and emptied mansion of the former Prime Minister Ouyang Xing. Now the plaque has been changed to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.
He was naturally very clear about Mo Canglie's intention in setting up the left and right ministers, which was nothing more than checks and balances.
But he didn't expect that Lu Zhi would be the right prime minister. Lu Zhi came to the Creation Villa to report the news, but because Leng Chuluo refused to send help, he fainted from excitement.
The next day, Lu Zhi left without saying goodbye, probably because he felt that the Righteous Alliance had no hope.
Leng Chuluo didn't take this seriously. After all, according to Ouyang Chili, the dead King Lei Kong would be more beneficial to the human world.
Sima Hongyi naturally knew about this, but he never imagined that Lu Zhi would get involved with the little emperor at some point, and judging from his behavior, he would do anything to achieve his goals.
There are many ways to occupy the Qi Ting Territory. Although the plan proposed by Lu Zhi is most effective, once this matter is exposed, it may not only cause riots in the Qi Ting Territory, but also greatly reduce Mo Canglue's reputation.
Just when he was lost in thought, he suddenly frowned slightly because he discovered that at some point, there was a pale pink apricot petal on his shoulder.
