Chapter 68 Qian Min's Violence
When Mo Zizai's name was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room became silent for a moment.
As the Six Ministers, they can be said to be the most powerful part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even the emperors faced them with three points of respect.
But Mo Zizai is different. This person does not follow the common sense at all. He said he wanted to rebel and directly cut off the heads of twenty important officials, making it clear that he wanted to overturn the table.
Such a person has no scruples at all. He doesn't think about the country and the overall situation at all. If you dare to say no, he will dare to cut off your head.
Even if both jade and stone were burned and ruined the eight hundred years of foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would do whatever he wanted.
"Your Majesty is also confused. He actually lets such a madman take power."
Yin Qishan, the Minister of Rites, spoke in a somewhat indignant tone, "If this continues, the Great Zhou Dynasty will sooner or later be destroyed by him."
"Confused?"
Wang Fucheng, the Minister of War, had no respect for the empress in his words, "Do you think these things are related to her? How could he have such great courage and insight just by relying on that wasteful man Mo Zizai?"
Yin Qishan was silent for a moment, then slapped the table suddenly, "It's better not to wait for the court!"
"I will resign from Your Majesty tomorrow and return home!"
"Retire and return home?"
Wang Fucheng stared at Yin Qishan with a very strange look, as if he was looking at a fool, "Okay, then you go and write your resignation. At that time, I will definitely prepare a good set of coffins for you."
"Wang Fucheng, what do you mean!" Yin Qishan glared at Wang Fucheng, "Are you cursing me to die?"
"I just think you are naive." Wang Fucheng resisted the word "silly". Although he knew that Yin Qishan, the Minister of Rites, had achieved his qualifications, Wang Fucheng still felt a little incredible about him being so stupid. "Where is you in the officialdom? If you want to come, you can leave?"
"What, is it okay for me to retire and return home?"
Yin Qishan didn't think anything was wrong at all. "Former Minister of Rites Sun Chao, so resisting the empress's ascension to the throne, did the late emperor not make any trouble for him and let him retire and return home."
"He can leave, why can't I leave?"
"Can the late emperor be the same as Mo Zizai?"
Wang Fucheng was really angry by Yin Qishan's stupidity, "I can guarantee that you will submit your resignation tomorrow morning, and Mo Zi dared to copy your home in the afternoon!"
"I want to get out of here, okay, hand over all your property, and then look at Mo Zizai's mood. He may not kill you if he is in a good mood."
Yin Qishan suddenly became anxious and stood up and said loudly: "Why? Why should I conquer my house after I retire and return home?"
"Why? It's up to you to have money."
Wang Fucheng snorted coldly, "How much is your annual salary? How much is your family's property now? Do you really think Yuzhishi doesn't know that you are accepting bribes everywhere?"
"It's too late to run away after greeting for money!"
"I...I..."
Yin Qishan's face turned pale when she was said, and she couldn't say a word.
"Okay, let's say less."
Qian Min glanced at Yin Qishan who was in a daze. Although he was a little disappointed with him, he was from the same faction as him, so Qian Min spoke up and said, "Everyone's butts are not clean, so no one can say anything about anyone."
"Mr. Wang, your Ministry of War has been greedy for millions of taels just by paying empty wages over the years, let alone reselling weapons."
"If it weren't for my Ministry of Revenue's secret cover-up, those soldiers in the county would have almost become decorations, do you think you could have kept it from Your Majesty?"
After hearing Qian Min say this, Wang Fucheng snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else. If it weren't for these things, he wouldn't have come here at all today.
Seeing that Wang Fucheng stopped talking, Qian Min continued: "Now, the most important thing is not to complain to each other, the most important thing is to abolish Mo Zizai's authority, otherwise we would not have a good life."
"How to get rid of it?"
Wang Fucheng frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The authority of Yuzhiji is given directly by the empress. Unless she speaks, no one can do anything to Mo Zizai."
"And the empress is now in conjunction with Mo Zizai, and she will not take back the authority of Yuzhiji at all."
"Then she will be ruined!"
Qian Min's eyes were fierce and said fiercely: "Don't you support King Bei'an? Just ask him to send troops and clear the emperor's side!"
Wang Fucheng and Yin Qishan were both shocked by Qian Min's ruthlessness. They said that they were clearing the king's side, but in fact they were to let King Bei'an rebel directly.
"Old Master Qian is really decisive in his work!"
Wang Fucheng, who came to his senses, took a deep breath and glanced at Qian Min with a little fear. Qian Min, the old master, really didn't give it to him for nothing. He actually said that he would rebel. He had never thought about such a thing.
But after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "The time is not ripe and it will not be done."
"Although King Bei'an has an army of 300,000, it is the army of the court, not the army of the King Bei'an."
"In the past three years, the empress has planted many officials in the Bei'an King's army. If the Bei'an King uprising, half of the 300,000 troops would probably turn against each other in an instant."
"If the time is not right, create the opportunity."
Qian Min's face was as deep as water, and his tone was extremely cold: "If there are disaster victims who rebel or the northern border is lost, then the time will be ripe?"
Wang Fucheng gasped and looked at Qian Min with some horror. This time he was really scared, "Gemaster Qian, what do you mean?"
"Nothing, I just want to protect myself."
Although Qian Min's tone was plain, his words were extremely cold, "I will notify Jiangnan to take action against the East. After all, it will be of no benefit to anyone with a lunatic like Mo Zizai in power. Jiangnan must not want to see this situation."
"With them taking action, there will be no problem in the East Realm. After all, even Tang Shuyu and the others can solve it, let alone Zhang Yuan."
"As for the victims, you can just keep stolen food. As long as the imperial court cannot buy food, those victims will rebel sooner or later."
The indifference and cruelty in Qian Min's words made Wang Fucheng feel chilling. No matter which side there was a problem, it was not a trivial matter.
Once these two sides are in turmoil, they will have to lose at least tens of thousands of lives. However, in Qian Min's words, it is indeed so light-hearted, as if those lives are as insignificant as grass in Qian Min's eyes.
"Gemaster Qian." Seeing Qian Min's indifferent expression, Wang Fucheng couldn't help but think of a question that had been bothering him, "I heard that Mo Zizai was assassinated when he was about to leave the imperial tomb. Is this also yours?"
"It's not done by me."
Qian Min shook her head, feeling a little confused. He originally thought it was done by someone from Wang Fucheng, but now he heard his question, it was obviously not his.
