The Invincible Sixth Prince

Seeing that the court was about to fall into chaos, Yun Li suddenly let out a loud shout.

"enough!"

Yun Li glared at the ministers, "The Sixth Brother hasn't even raised his army yet, and you're already losing your composure! If the Sixth Brother officially sends out his troops, won't you all be scared to death?"

Amid Yun Li's roar, the ministers finally quieted down.

Xu Shifu reacted and looked at Han Da with a gloomy face: "Tell me, what is the content of the imperial edict you went to Shuobei to convey!"

Han Da said nothing, but looked at Yun Li cautiously.

Yun Li didn't want Han Da to say it, but he also knew that things had come to this point, and the content of the decree could no longer be concealed.

"Let me tell you!"

Yun Li tried to stay calm, "I just saw that my father was seriously ill, so I wanted Lao Liu and the others to return to the imperial city to visit him..."

Yun Li said lightly.

It seemed like this was not a big deal at all.

However, the ministers did not think that was the case.

How could he be asking Yun Zheng and the others to return to the imperial city to visit Emperor Wen?

He clearly wants to kill Yun Zheng!

How could the Crown Prince who is the Regent come up with such a bad idea?

Does he think Yun Zheng is stupid, or does he think he is too smart?

Instead of Yun Zheng coming back to the Imperial City at this time, he might as well just cut off his own head and send it to the Imperial City!

"Prince, you are confused!"

Gu Xiu was so angry that he stamped his feet, "How could Yun Zheng be like this at this time..."

"I know!"

Yun Li interrupted Gu Xiu, "I never expected him to come back to the Imperial City!"

Hearing Yun Li's words, Gu Xiu and many court officials were stunned.

If there is no hope for this, why would he send someone to Shuobei to convey the imperial edict?

However, smart people soon realized it.

Yun Li was trying to use an overt conspiracy to brand Yun Zheng as an unfilial person.

His idea is quite good!

Unfortunately, he probably never dreamed that Yun Zheng would not fall for it at all!

Xu Shifu also reacted, and he didn't want to criticize Yun Li anymore. He said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to talk about this! The most urgent thing is to come up with a response plan! Is it war or peace?"

Xu Shifu went straight to the point.

War or peace?

Yun Zheng has issued a manifesto, and the court must consider the issue of war or peace.

Only after determining the basic direction of war and peace can we discuss subsequent countermeasures.

If we fight, I'm afraid few people in the court are confident that they can defeat Yun Zheng, right?

But if we want to make peace, how should we do it? We can't let the court ask Yun Zheng for peace, right?

If that happens, the imperial court will lose all face!

"Fight! The court must fight!"

Just when everyone was analyzing the pros and cons, Imperial Censor Meng Ruowang suddenly spoke up: "No matter what Yun Zheng's reasons are, detaining the imperial envoy and issuing a manifesto to the court is already treason!"

"If the court does not fight, wouldn't that be the same as encouraging others to rebel?"

"If we ask for peace, the imperial court will completely lose its prestige! After this, the powerful clans in various places will probably compete to rebel!"

Listening to Meng Ruowang's words, many people frowned secretly.

What Meng Ruowang said is not without reason.

But can the imperial court really defeat Yun Zheng?

They can scold Yun Zheng or belittle Yun Zheng.

But Yun Zheng's ability to lead troops in battle is obvious to all, and no one can deny it.

With the current military strength of the imperial court, it is almost a pipe dream to defeat Yun Zheng.

"You put it lightly!"

Xiao Wanchou looked at Meng Ruowang unhappily, "The turmoil in Yuzhou has not yet been resolved, and the aristocratic families and clans are ready to make a move. If we go to war with Shuobei at this time, do you think those aristocratic families and clans will behave themselves?"

Xiao Wanchou and Meng Ruowang were once allies.

Whether it was the former Moxi tribes or the former Beihuan, they were staunch advocates of war.

But today, the two had a disagreement.

Meng Ruowang looked at Xiao Wanchou sharply, "Duke Yu, do you still remember what you said?"

"What?"

Xiao Wanchou didn't understand.

"Is there a military department in the world that would talk about peace?"

Meng Ruowang suddenly raised his voice: "I am the emperor's salary, and I am loyal to him! If even you, the Minister of War, are afraid of fighting, what hope is there for the court?"

Xiao Wanchou opened his mouth slightly and was instantly speechless.

That's exactly what he said.

Unexpectedly, Meng Ruowang caught on to this sentence.

Seeing that Xiao Wanchou had nothing to say, Meng Ruowang became even more aggressive. He stepped out and knelt in the middle of the hall, saying loudly, "I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to order all the troops to prepare for war! Anyone who dares to talk about peace will be killed!"

Meng Ruowang's voice was loud and clear.

Yun Li felt both relieved and annoyed when he heard this.

Fortunately, there are still upright ministers in the court who are not afraid of Lao Liu!

What's harsh is that he himself is thinking about peace talks. He can't just kill himself, right?

What the hell is this!

"Can't fight!"

Xu Shifu stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Yun Zheng dared to issue a letter to the court at this time is clearly because he saw that the court was in civil strife! If the court accepts the battle at this time, it will also have to be wary of fires in the rear, and there is almost no chance of winning!"

"Duke Jingguo is wrong!"

Meng Ruowang said in a deep voice: "Yun Zheng raised an army to rebel, how can the court not fight? The court can appease the aristocratic clans and gather all forces to fight against the traitors! With the court united as one, how can there be no chance of victory?"

Xu Shifu opened his mouth slightly, and after Xiao Wanchou, he was also speechless.

"Master Meng is right!"

"Raising troops to rebel must not be tolerated!"

"Although the aristocratic clans are too powerful to be eliminated, Yun Zheng is a greater threat to the imperial court!"

"I beg His Royal Highness to issue an imperial edict to summon all the troops in the world to fight against the traitors together!"

Soon, many people stood up to support Meng Ruowang.

The two censors who had previously clamored to kill the aristocratic families and clans now suggested that Yun Li appease the aristocratic families and clans, unite the forces of the aristocratic families and clans, and jointly fight against the traitor Yun Zheng.

However, the four regents still insisted on peace talks as the main approach.

Yun Li was hesitant to make up his mind, wondering whether he should ask Emperor Wen for his opinion.

"Has Yun Zheng issued a manifesto?"

At this moment, Tang Shu suddenly asked Han Da.

Han Da replied: "Before I left Jingyang Prefecture, it had not been announced yet! But now it is unknown."

"Jingyang Prefecture?"

Xiao Wanchou frowned, "You mean, Yun Zheng is in Jingyang Prefecture?"

"Yes!"

Han Da nodded.

Xiao Wanchou thought for a moment and immediately said, "Your Highness, since Yun Zheng has not yet issued a manifesto, there is still room for easing the situation!"

Xu Shifu, Tang Shu and others also followed suit.

As long as Yun Zheng does not officially issue a manifesto and as long as Yun Zheng does not launch an attack, this matter can still be discussed.

Now, they first had to find out whether Yun Zheng wanted to scare the imperial court or really wanted to rebel in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials.

We have to clarify this issue before we can discuss the next countermeasures.

Yun Li thought for a moment, then announced the adjournment of the court and summoned four regent ministers and Meng Ruowang to the Prince's Mansion to discuss matters.

Some things are indeed not easy to talk about in the court.

It might be better if they talked about it in private.

Seeing that Yun Li had specifically called Meng Ruowang, the four regent ministers all frowned.

Did Yun Li call on Meng Ruowang, a staunch advocate of war, because he also had some desire to fight?
