The Nine Gates Inspector's subordinates could cover the sky with one hand and could be considered the strongest in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was impossible for Bai Yu's subordinates to be the only ones working in the Great Tang.
As long as he didn't deliberately stop them, Li Shiming's personal guards wouldn't be weak in controlling the news in the capital. Just like last night, when the Four Uniques gathered together, and even when the Sui Dynasty's remnants suddenly appeared, he was very clear about it. However, he didn't say it now, and wanted to see how the ministers reacted.
Chu Suiliang took a step forward and bowed."Reporting to the emperor, it is said that the four absolute figures gathered last night and had a lot of fun. It is said that the admiral, who is as stingy with words as gold, even wrote an inscription for viewing!”
After saying that, he looked at Bai Yu gloatingly.
Most people didn't know what had happened last night and thought that the Emperor was more interested in the excitement of last night.
"Oh?" Li Shi Min was confused. He looked at Bai Yu and smiled,""Brother Yu, is there such a thing?"
Bai Yu bowed and crossed his arms.""Emperor, there is such a time. This subject has sent people to collect the works in the fu. If the emperor is interested, this subject will bring it to the emperor to look over.”
These words sounded extremely respectful, but it made the others feel extremely arrogant. As an official, did he need the emperor to personally say it before doing it? However, everyone was used to White Feather's arrogance. After all, he had contributed the most and was the strongest.
Just as Li Shi Min was about to speak, he saw someone standing up. Seeing the position of this person, he confirmed that he was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Qiu Xingyan."Emperor, do you know the content and reason of that piece of calligraphy last night?”
Li Shi Min smiled and placed his hands on the table. He didn't say anything, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He seemed to be waiting for an answer.
Bai Yu looked at him calmly and didn't interrupt. It was as if he was watching a performance.
Qiu Xingyan saw that the Emperor was seated and continued to speak calmly,"Your Majesty, yesterday, one of the Four Uniques, He Zhizhang, Mr. He, came up with a couplet,'Spring Breeze Langyuan Three Thousand Guests.' The admiral immediately responded with 'Bright Moon Capital's First Pavilion.' The words 'Capital's First Pavilion' contains too much information, please examine it carefully, Your Majesty!”
As soon as he said this, the ministers immediately began to discuss. Zhangsun Wuji, Du Rumei, Fang Xuanling, and other important ministers also frowned at Bai Yu.
Li Shi Min waved his hand, and the court immediately quieted down."Minister Qiu, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be too taboo!”
"Yes, sir!" Qiu Xingyan looked up at Bai Yu and said,""In the capital, you say that Chongren Lane is the first floor. May I ask what your intentions are, Admiral? And as far as I know, Chongren Square was built at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, and its praise is greater than that of the Imperial Palace. Could it be that the Admiral has the intention to rebel?”
The others were stunned by his words, but Bai Yu did not react at all. It seemed that he was too lazy to explain. It was only when Li Shimin asked him if he had any opinions that he turned his head to look at Qiu Xingyan.
Bai Yu's eyes were murderous. They were not heavy, but light and sharp like blades, making the atmosphere in the hall a little oppressive. Cold sweat broke out on Qiu Xingyan's forehead, but he looked very patient and his expression was a little tense.
"Assistant Minister Qiu, are you complaining about the bad guy first?”
Qiu Xingyan's footsteps moved slightly and he quickly explained,"What do you mean? Although I, Qiu Xingyan, am far from being an admiral, I have been loyal to the Great Tang all these years. Everything I do is for the sake of the Great Tang and the emperor.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands and bowed to Li Shimin. Bai Yu felt a wave of helplessness in his heart. These words were quite official. If he went to the modern world to be a diplomatic administrator, he would definitely be very popular.
Zhangsun Wuji and the other three chancellors were watching this verbal battle as if they were watching a show. One of these two was definitely problematic, and no matter who was problematic, it would only benefit them and the Great Tang.
However, if they lost Bai Yu, the admiral, they would always feel a little regretful. Although he was arrogant and untamed, he had never done anything bad to the Tang Empire or the emperor. If they lost him, they would lose a pillar of support.
Everyone's emotions were complicated, except for Li Shi Min, who smiled as he watched the scene unfold, as if victory was in his hands.
" If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. If I'm not wrong, you should be an old minister of the previous dynasty. Of course, I don't mean anything else. A minister who is willing to do something will naturally be put in an important position. I think everyone knows that the Emperor recruits talents regardless of their background, but it's impossible for you to use this as a shield. Don't you know Yang Tian's Three Unique Swordsmen?”
Qiu Xingyan's expression did not change slightly. He instantly adjusted himself. This small action was too brutal for the others, but it could not be hidden from Bai Yu.
The others were stunned when they heard Yang Tian's name. It seemed like things were more complicated than they thought!
"I don't know what Admiral means!”Qiu Xingyan was still stubborn!
Li Shiming was also confused by the name Yang Tian. Before Bai Yu could continue, he asked,""Brother Yu, who is this Yang Tian?”
"Emperor, this Yang Tian is Yang Su's godson!”
The entire court was instantly shocked!
