Beheaded, Black Tortoise Sect!
If these five words were said alone or at other times, it would not be a big deal.
But here, in Taiji Palace, in front of all the officials and Li Shimin, this was Cui Zhengdao's provocation. He was not representing himself, but the five surnames and seven Wangs.
He took over the losing game from Cui Qingyuan and turned the tables with just five words.
The matter of the Black Tortoise Sect was a taboo in the Great Tang. Even if the entire court knew about it, no one dared to speak of it in front of Li Shiming.
Qin Huaiyu stood there and finally understood why he felt a sense of danger from Cui Zhengdao. A dog that bites doesn't bark. Such a person would say such a thing.
Li Shi Min couldn't be dealt with?
Angry?
Wouldn't that mean that he had killed his brother during the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect?
No matter how he dealt with it, as long as Li Shiming opened his mouth, he would lose this round. The Black Tortoise Sect had a bloody coup, and Li Shiming had killed his eldest brother and fourth brother. No matter what, Cui Zhengdao had the upper hand. Once the news spread, Li Shiming's reputation as a benevolent ruler would no longer exist.
The common people were ignorant and could not even read a few words. They believed that the imperial court had let them see it. Therefore, even in Chang 'an, many people did not know about the Xuanwu Sect. They only knew that Li Shimin had ascended the throne and they had to address him as the emperor.
Qin Huaiyu recalled when he saw this scene.
According to the historical records, the incident at Xuanwu Gate was only spread at the end of Zhenguan.
At that time, Li Shiming was already terminally ill, so some people had spread the news to suppress his prestige. If Cui Zhengdao's scheme had succeeded, it would have been a blow to the morale of the Great Tang.
The Great Tang might not be united against the Turks harassing the border.
The atmosphere in Taiji Palace turned cold because of Cui Zhengdao's words. No one dared to speak or even breathe loudly.
Although Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others were civil officials, their eyes were filled with killing intent.
However, Cui Zhengdao was asking the Emperor, so they didn't dare to do anything for him. They could only stand there.
Li Shi Min's face was as cold as ice, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu broke the silence with a smile and said,""Your Majesty, in my opinion, there's no need for the beheading matter to be placed in Xuanwu Sect.”
"It's just outside Taiji Palace. It's also to let some of the scums found in the court experience it. Your Majesty, is the sword in your hand still sharp?”
Qin Huaiyu's words directly resolved the crisis before him.
One sentence, whether the sword in his hand was sharp or not.
Cui Zhengdao felt a chill on his neck." That's right, Li Shimin could even kill his own brother for the throne. What is he? How dare he threaten Li Shimin?"
This was truly courting death.
Qin Huaiyu said that killing people in front of Taiji Palace was more presumptuous and fearless, but it was a reason that Cui Zhengdao could not refute. Black Tortoise Sect was very suitable for beheading, but how could it compare to killing people outside Taiji Palace?
This scene would probably be recorded in the history books forever.
He nailed the five surnames and seven Wangs to the pillar of shame.
Of course, Cui Zhengdao didn't want to see this. If that happened, he would become the sinner of the Five Families and Seven Wangs.
He turned to look at Qin Huaiyu.
There was no longer the relaxed look in his eyes, nor was there any confidence in his heart.
Cui Zhengdao thought that if the people of Cui Clan were really beheaded in front of Taiji Palace, he would not be any better than these people. His eyes changed.
He understood the saying that civil officials killed without using a knife, but the sword of their tongue could defeat thousands of troops.
However, Qin Huaiyu was proficient in both literature and martial arts. He hated why such a person was not in his Cui family.
Li Shi Min was still standing there, as if he had never heard of anything before. The Emperor's Heart was like the abyss of hell, unfathomable. He seemed to be watching coldly from the side.
However, the gaze he looked at Qin Huaiyu with became even gentler.
Li Shi Min could keep quiet, but Cui Zheng Dao couldn't.
He said," Your Majesty, I feel that Imperial Censor Qin's actions are too murderous. Taiji Palace is Your Majesty's court hall, and the square in front of Taiji Palace is a place where all civil and military officials must go every day.”
"If the killing here is too heavy, won't the officials bring blood to the palace every day? Over time, it will definitely damage the country's fate.”
"Haha." Li Shi Min's face was like the spring breeze melting into water. A smile appeared on his face as he turned around and walked away. From the day he ascended the throne, he had never forgotten that he was once a general.
On the day of going to the palace, there must be guards holding swords on both sides.
Clang--
Li Shi Min waved his hand and pulled out his sword. A cold light flashed in front of him. All the officials in Taiji Palace could feel his killing intent.
"Ever since I ascended the throne, I've been thinking day and night whether my sword is still sharp or not, whether I can cut off a person's head with one strike."”
Li Shi Min seemed to be looking at the sword in his hand as he swung the sword in the air.
Suddenly, the sword pointed at Cui Zhengdao.
A pair of eyes landed on him. Her body leaned forward slightly, as if Mount Tai was about to fall, and she smiled as she spoke.
"Minister Cui, do you think I am old?”
