Chapter 1669 Joint Suppression

Before General Qin Mu finished speaking, Prime Minister Situ Wenzhong spoke immediately.

"General Qin is right. Si Tianjian is indeed responsible for enshrining and protecting the Holy Tree of Heaven. But now, under the protection of Si Tianjian, the Holy Tree of Heaven has been destroyed. Imperial Master, this is an unforgivable crime for you. "

Situ Wenzhong looked at the Imperial Master calmly.

The Imperial Preceptor's expression was ugly: "Situ Wenzhong, you must be responsible for what you say. The one who destroyed the Holy Tree of Heaven is the master. How can I, Si Tianjian, be able to protect it?"

Situ Wenzhong did not speak, but King Kang interrupted.

He sneered and said: "National Master, that's not what you said. The master's strength is indeed powerful, but it does not mean that you can do nothing."

"When His Majesty fought with that Lord and the Holy Tree of Heaven was destroyed, did you stand up to stop it?"

"Have you made any effort to protect the Holy Tree of Heaven?"

"No, no!"

"You just stood aside and allowed the Holy Tree of Heaven to be destroyed by that Lord. This is your dereliction of duty and your sin cannot be forgiven."

"So you must be responsible for reshaping the Holy Tree of Heaven, otherwise I would not mind impeaching you and arresting you for questioning."

"I believe that none of the adults will object to this, right?"

Prime Minister Situ Wenzhong and General Qin Mu did not speak, but their eyes told everyone that they supported King Kang.

In the entire political hall, only the officials under the Imperial Preceptor seemed to be hesitant.

But what is the saying?

When the time comes and your friend chooses to be neutral, he is essentially siding with the enemy.

So at this moment, the Imperial Master is, to a certain extent, isolated by everyone.

Shi Xuanji was sitting above, teasing the prince in her arms carelessly, turning a blind eye to the dispute she had provoked.

"you……"

The Imperial Master was furious, but he didn't know how to refute.

In fact, the fact that Si Tianjian did not take action to protect the Holy Tree of Heaven was an ambiguous issue.

After all, as the master, the other party is too powerful. Let alone their Si Tianjian, even if all the masters in the court rush forward together, they may not be enough to fill their teeth.

Therefore, if no one pursues this matter, no one will say anything about Si Tianjian.

But now someone has suggested that he, the Imperial Master Si Tianjian, is directly responsible for the destruction of the Holy Tree of Heaven, just like the Holy Tree Longchang.

The Holy Tree Longchang was already in a coma. When he woke up, he didn't know it was the Year of the Monkey, so he was punished for the destruction of the Holy Tree of Heaven.

But what about your national teacher?

Not only did you not suffer any punishment, but you also became one of the four auxiliary ministers.

In the past, your people supported you, but we couldn't do anything to you.

But now everyone under your command is shaken, and everyone is short of someone to take charge of the task. If not you, who can they look for?

Of course, it is impossible for the people under the Imperial Master to betray him so quickly.

Everyone's interests are tied together. If the national master suddenly loses power, the fate of those under him will not be much better.

So after another argument, the courtiers dispersed and went back.

But that doesn't mean it's over.

Reshaping the Holy Tree of Heaven is related to the interests of every courtier, and also to the interests of other ministers across the country.

Therefore, even if General Qin Mu, Prime Minister Situ Wenzhong and Kang Wang Shengshu Longyu did not want to take care of this matter, they would be

A silent protest, of course.

They will express their loyalty to you as always, and they will be more loyal than before, but they can only let you see that they want the Holy Fruit of Heaven.

Faced with this situation, the three auxiliary ministers did not dare to turn a blind eye.

They must show their drive to spare no effort for the benefit of their subordinates so that they can win over people's hearts and avoid losing the position of auxiliary minister they just occupied in the blink of an eye.

So in the next few days, the three auxiliary ministers were in the court every day, constantly pressuring the Imperial Master step by step, making him responsible for the destruction of the Holy Tree of Heaven.

At the same time, various unfavorable rumors began to spread among the people, making the situation of the Imperial Master more and more passive.

What makes the Imperial Preceptor even more distressed is that the three auxiliary ministers have begun to secretly contact his subordinates these days, apparently trying to win over them.

This made the situation of the Imperial Master even worse.

royal palace.

The chaos outside could not disturb the tranquility in the palace.

In the palace of Shengshu Longchang, Shi Xuanji was busy playing with a pot of flowers and asked casually: "Si Shang Palace, how is the situation outside?"

Zhao Mu smiled slightly: "Reporting to your Majesty, the other three auxiliary ministers are working together to suppress the Imperial Preceptor, and many of the people under the Imperial Preceptor are becoming more and more shaken."

"If the situation is allowed to continue like this, the power of the National Master will probably shrink significantly, if not collapse."

"In that case, his status as Assistant Minister would be somewhat unworthy of his name."

"But Madam, do the other three assistant ministers really want to ignore this matter and beat up the drowned dog?"

"Aren't they afraid that the Imperial Master will really be knocked down and the task of rebuilding the Holy Tree of Heaven will fall on them?"

"No."

Shi Xuanji smiled and said: "The three of them know the Imperial Preceptor very well, and they know very well that the Imperial Preceptor will never accept his fate and wait for death."

"The final result of this matter is that the national master agreed to send people to the land of the demon clan in the northern region, but you also know that this is to go to other major regions."

"The people who were sent did not dare to go through the endless wasteland, so naturally they had to take the sea route."

"But even if they keep using the Great Teleportation Talisman, it will take decades to get to the Northern Territory. A hundred years may pass in one trip and back."

"If we waste time negotiating with the Northern Territory Mingzun, it will take many years for the people we sent to come back."

"During this period, the Imperial Master can still sit in the position of the Regent Minister under the name of having sent people to the Northern Territory."

"Tsk tsk, the word delay is sometimes very useful."

This woman really expected everything.

Zhao Mu smiled: "Although the word delay is useful, I think the Queen will not give the Imperial Master a chance to delay time, right?"

"Of course, my plan is to defeat the four regent ministers one by one. Now that I have started with the Imperial Master, I naturally cannot end it in vain."

Shi Xuanji smiled and said: "But I don't just want the Imperial Master to die. What's more important is to find a way to gather his people, so that I can strengthen my power."

"The Queen wants to gather the Imperial Master's people?" Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

His tone was a little different, but Shi Xuanji hadn't noticed it yet. She just nodded and said, "Yes, conquering other people's subordinates and using them for your own benefit is the fastest way for me to strengthen myself at present."

"In that case, why don't I help the queen directly and regain the imperial teacher?" Zhao Mu said in a deep voice.
