Chapter 155: Victory and defeat, under the court

, no pop-up windows, fast updates, free!

When he saw that the last paragraph of the strategy of reducing the power of the vassal was missing in his hand, Chao Cuo had already understood the thoughts of the vast majority of officials in the court.

At this point, the ministers in the court have already compromised with him about the policy of reducing the vassals, but the ministers still have great controversy about the content of the policy of reducing the vassals.

As long as he reports truthfully according to the content of the policy of reducing the vassals in his hand, most officials in the court are willing to agree with his report.

"But how is this possible!" Chao Cuo closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes full of unwillingness.

The most important and most essential part of his strategy of reducing the vassals is the missing last paragraph.

The court report is not reported by the officials themselves, but by the officials handing over the bamboo slips to the waiter and read aloud in court. The content read by the waiter will naturally only be the content on the bamboo slips.

As for the part that has differences in the report, the officials themselves need to debate in court, so that the officials themselves will report in court.

Chao Cuo had no doubt that after his incomplete report was read out by the waiter, civil and military officials would definitely express their support for his report without any objection, so that the matter of reducing the power of the vassal was only above the proposal, and in the entanglement of the future, the strategy of reducing the power of the vassal gradually fell on the edge.

All these officials are good at this method.

But if there is the last sentence, it will be different!

"Now, if it is cut, it will be reversed, if it is not cut, it will be reversed.

If you cut it down, the consequences will be small;

If it is not cut off, it will be too late and the disaster will be great." This sentence directly puts the contradiction between the various vassal kings and the imperial court to the point of view, and directly raises the speculation that "the vassal kings must rebel" and plans to rebel against each other. For an empire, no matter when it is, it is an issue that cannot be compromised.

Therefore, as long as the strategy of reducing the vassals is mentioned in the strategy of rebellion, the ministers in the court, whether they want or not, must implement the strategy of reducing the vassals, and all the vassal kings must also go to Chang'an City to defend themselves.

This is the original intention of Chao Cuo and the original intention of the emperor in this strategy of reducing the vassals.

——If it was just a simple proposal to reduce the vassal state, why would Chao Cuo, a two-thousand-stone official, need to take action?

Only when this involves major matters related to rebellion is worth the 2,000-stone censor’s personal report.

"Chao Qing!" In the Xuanshi Hall, Emperor Qi's eyes fell on Chao Cuo, and then passed by the civil and military officials in the hall. The civil and military officials all lowered their heads and hid the expressions on their faces in the shadows.

"Do you think you'll win?" Chao Cuo gritted his teeth and whispered to the officials beside him. Usually, if there were such whispers in the court, the censors in the court would have already set aside to accuse the official, and then drove the official out of this court meeting with their posture. But this time, no one of the censors in the court pretended not to hear Chao Cuo's unwilling voice.

"Why haven't Doctor Chao submitted the report yet?"

"Do you have to wait for the censors to drive you, the censor, out of today's court meeting?"

"Even so, Doctor Chao, you can't wait for the next chance." Beside Chao Cuo, the prime minister, one of the three dukes, lowered his voice and spoke to Chao Cuo. At the same time, the waiter who was reading also walked to Chao Cuo step by step.

"Doctor!" The waiter bent down in front of Chao Cuo, raised his hands high, and signaled Chao Cuo to hand over the report in his hand.

The emperor Qi Sen's cold eyes also fell on the waiter, causing the waiter's back to be completely soaked in cold sweat.

The waiter knew very well that after today, there would inevitably be an extremely cruel purge in the inner court, and he was undoubtedly in this purge.

"Just..." The waiter thought about the promise they had given him, and gritted his teeth again and continued to speak.

"Doctor!" With the humble voice of the waiter, the coldness in the Xuanshi Hall was getting more and more immersed in the bone marrow.

Chao Cuo raised his head and looked at Emperor Qi's eyes. Then, he inserted the tablet between his waist, rolled up the bamboo slips bit by bit with both hands, and put them in his arms.

"What does the Censor want to do?"

"There has never been a precedent for taking back the report in this court!" Almost at the same time, one of the officials, a Censor, had already stood up and accused him, and took two steps forward to grab the bamboo slips from Chao Cuo.

"He Zhongcheng is waiting for a moment. The Censor is one of the three dukes. He is familiar with the court's laws and regulations. There may be no one in the court. The Censor's report is not reported. It makes sense. How can it be your turn in this Xuanshi Hall? If you are in the Xuanshi Hall, you will be just slandering!" The Censor's Chief Just stood up, and the person next to him also stopped him and said at the same time.

It seems that while defending Chao Cuo, in fact, he wants to completely knock Chao Cuo to the ground and drive him out of the Xuanshi Hall.

"He Zhongcheng, Xu Jingshi, how could he ever say that he would not report this report?" At this time, Chao Cuo had completely taken the bamboo slip into his arms.

"Is there no mistake? This report is this bamboo slip." Chao Cuo said calmly, and at the same time gave the emperor a look of peace of mind.

Chao Cuo's words were neither fast nor slow, neither angry nor sad, neither happy nor sad, and stable, as if the various things that had been born in the court had never had any impact on him.

While Chao Cuo's voice sounded, the cold atmosphere in the Xuanshi Hall dissipated, but the chill that enveloped the hearts of civil and military officials was even more fierce, almost frozen in the Xuanshi Hall.

Over the past thirty years, in the battle with the emperor again and again, the civil and military officials in the court have appeared for the first time. With the unity of civil and military officials, the development of the situation will even come out of their predictions and controls.

"Chao Qing, where is the report?" On the imperial throne, the ring of Emperor Qi's body shook slightly. At this moment of victory and defeat reversal, the emperor who had been in charge of the empire for hundreds of years once again felt the surging feeling of his heart.

"Here!" Chao Cuo bowed and raised the tablet in his hand. The sunlight came in from the gate of Xuanshi Hall, penetrating the tablet made of ivory, full of mottled marks.

In the sun, dense handwriting appeared on the tablet.

"Remember!" When the waiter took the tablet in Chao Cuo's hand, the emperor's majestic voice sounded in the Xuanshi Hall, with layers of echoes, magnificent, vast and breathtaking.

"Emperor Gao..." Even though the waiter was reluctant, he could only recite it honestly at this time. The mellow and vast sound that had been practiced over the years of recitation echoed in the Xuanshi Hall, and it was so beautiful that it was so beautiful.

But at this time, no one in the court, except Emperor Qi, would pay attention to the sound of the waiter's recitation.

"The scepter... how is this possible!" At this moment, there was only such a thought in the minds of these civil and military officials. Outside the Censor's Mansion, there were so many practitioners who had almost never left Chao Cuo for a moment, but no one had ever seen it. Chao Cuo carved a report on this scepter. Similarly, no one appeared, even if anyone had reported the report to Chao Cuo.

"When did he do it?" At this time, this question lingers in the hearts of all civil and military officials.

Of course, if Taipan was again, he might be able to think about when Chao Cuo did this. Last night, when Chao Cuo carved the plan of shaving the vassal in front of him, this tablet was just under the bamboo slip, and there were gaps on the bamboo slip.

This means that from some point on, after Chao Cuo found out that it was impossible to bring the bamboo slips into the court, he consciously placed the tablet under the bamboo slips while carving the bamboo slips. Then, through the gaps of the bamboo slips, while carving the bamboo slips, it also quietly left the content of the strategy of reducing the vassals on this tablet.

This process took several years, or more than ten years, until Taipan stepped into the residence of the Censor, that Chao Cuo completed the seal carving of the vassal structure on the tablet, and then it was Chao Cuo's seemingly decisive last try!

"Now, if it is cut, it will be reversed, if it is not cut, it will be reversed.

If you cut it down, the consequences will be small;

If you don't cut it down, it will be too late and it will be a big disaster." When the last sentence of the strategy of reducing the vassal state came out of the mouth of the waiter, the laws in the entire Chang'an City were all swept by one. The unparalleled aura of war and killing suddenly arose. Although it was not attracted, it made every practitioner in Chang'an City get goose bumps.

"The war is about to arise!" Such an enlightenment emerged in everyone's heart.

"The Eye of a Fellow Daoist is indeed true."

"The victory or defeat is still unknown!" At the Zhuque Gate, Tai Pan felt the sudden aura of war and a smile spread out on his face.
