Chapter 152: Granting the Prime Minister
Looking at the selected words, the three of them looked at each other and saw endless horror in each other's eyes!
"Let's go! Go see His Majesty!"
…………
In the palace hall, after the empress sat upright under the gauze curtain, Fu Qing and the other two men explained the investigation of Wang Hua in detail and demonstrated it in front of the empress.
"Your Majesty, through this method, Wang Hua has passed on so many state secrets over the years!" Zheng Tao looked sad.
The connection between Zhang Dashanren and Wang Hua has been maintained for decades. Tianxuan is a country with many solar terms. There are dozens of festivals every year, and Wang Hua conveys all the news in such a grand manner.
The empress did not speak, as if she were a stone statue, lifeless and motionless behind the gauze curtain.
In her heart, Wang Hua is also the leader of the civil servants whose trust level is not inferior to that of Fu Qing and the other three. During the years when Wang Hua assisted the government, the Tianxuan country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, the weather was smooth, and the government was harmonious.
If it weren't for the ironclad evidence in front of her, the empress would never be able to believe that this virtuous prime minister loved by all the people was actually a spy for the enemy country.
The empress was silent, but the temperature in the hall dropped suddenly. Even Fu Qing Huage and others with Wuwang Wuhuang cultivation level felt a chill.
"Your Majesty, please arrest Wang Hua and attack Lan Yan!" Zheng Tao raised his hand.
"I second the proposal!" Fu Qing also followed suit and said.
"No! You can't act rashly for now!" However, among the three of them, Hua Ge, who had always advanced and retreated together, put forward a different opinion at this time.
"Why not?" Zheng Tao was stunned.
The evidence is conclusive, is he still allowed to take charge of all officials? How many secrets will be spread out by then?
Huage felt that the cold gaze from behind the curtain also fell on him with doubts.
He cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Wang Hua is guilty of liaison with the empire, and he deserves to be punished! But we only have the evidence this time, and it was not obtained on the spot. The most important thing is that the information he exposed this time does not even count. confidential."
"Mo Qingkuang's promotion to the Wind Spirit Body is not considered a secret. I believe that after the Fallen Leaf King's Tomb, the news of the Daqi Sect will spread throughout Tianxuan within a day! What's more, Wang Hua will be able to defend himself by saying that this is what we quoted out of context. Deliberate frame-up!”
Hua's motto was conclusive, and everyone quickly calmed down.
Although Wang Hua is hateful, based on the current evidence, there is still no 100% certainty that he can overturn the image that this virtuous prime minister has established in the hearts of the people over the years!
When Wang Hua comes out and denies it, relying on public opinion, even His Majesty will not be able to do anything to him.
The temple is no better than the rivers and lakes, where you can enjoy your grudges!
In the court, the most important thing is to have a good reputation and gain an invincible position.
Although those in power rule the people, they also rely on the people. If we lose the support of the people, we may lose more than we gain.
"Hua Ge, what do you think should be done?" came the empress' cold voice, without anger or murderous intent, as if what they just reported was not a big secret that could subvert the empire.
However, the three of them were used to the empress's personality and didn't think much about it.
Huage cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, judging from the message Zhang Dashan sent to Wang Hua, the Blue Flame Empire is about to use troops against our country!"
"It's not that I'm being arrogant. It's actually because of the battle to seize the Saint. Our Tianxuan has not yet recovered its vitality, and the vacancy of emperor-level experts has not been filled. The number of warriors below the Martial Emperor is far from enough to compete with Lan Yan."
Hearing Huage mention the battle for the Holy Saint, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped a few points. If the three of them noticed carefully, countless tiny frosts had appeared on the pillars in the hall.
The sudden cold temperature caused Hua Ge's words to stagnate and come to a standstill.
The empress' mood really fluctuated, otherwise the temperature in the hall would not have dropped so much.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Huage called tentatively.
The empress finally woke up from the silence, calmed down a little, and the temperature in the palace began to rise.
She said calmly: "Go on."
When she heard about the battle to seize the Saint, she remembered what Mo Fan told her in her dream about the true origins of her father and brother, and she lost control of her emotions for a moment.
For the empress who is naturally emotionally indifferent, only her father and brother who have loved and cared for her since childhood could influence her emotions.
"Yes." Huage felt the change in temperature, so he felt relieved and continued, "The Blue Flame Empire borders the Demon Kingdom, and the combat effectiveness of its soldiers is generally higher than that of our Tianxuan soldiers. This is the key point. High-end combat effectiveness is at a disadvantage. , the strength of the masses is not enough to be the enemy, if we really want to go to war, there is no chance of winning!"
"But I estimate that Lan Yan will not send troops in the short term! They will still need some time to coordinate the troops and complete the dispatch. It's just a pity for Wang Hua, so he sent a message in advance to order him to prepare early and try to escape."
"Then let's keep an eye on him! We can't let him escape!" Zheng Tao said angrily.
Huage shook his head: "No, no. I think that not only should we not stare at him, but we should also give him greater authority to show trust!"
"Why?"
"It should be noted that the higher the praise, the worse the fall! Your Majesty is invincible because of his great contributions to nature. Why not give Wang Hua some reputational power so that he can get more information?" Hua Ge smiled confidently.
"Wang Hua is about to return to Lanyan. Before that, he will definitely find a way to get a big deal, whether it's supplies or something else. He's leaving anyway, so he can ignore the consequences."
"In that case, why don't we make it easy for him and catch him red-handed when he escapes? This will not only silence the people, but also give us a righteous advantage in the duel between Tianxuan and Lanyan!"
"We can even use this as a basis to ask the Holy Land to take charge and calm down this war that has little chance of winning, and even gain some benefits!"
Hua Ge spoke very confidently and made a thorough analysis. Fu Qing and Zheng Tao were gradually convinced.
There is just one more thing. Fu Qing asked, "If we give him more authority, won't he continue to snoop for information, and will Tianxuan continue to suffer losses?"
Hua Ge smiled and shook his head: "No, although he has great authority, his strength is not strong. There are things that we want him to know, and he can only know them. Besides, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. He doesn't have much time. I estimate that it will not take more than a year at most. Wang Hua will find a way to leave Tianxuan, and there will not be much loss."
Fu Qing looked at Zheng Tao and exchanged glances: "In this case, I second the proposal."
The three people of the Golden Generation have always advanced and retreated together. Hua Ge's plan has successfully convinced them, so naturally they have to support their brothers.
The empress behind the curtain pondered for a moment and said calmly: "As you say. I will arrest him personally at that time!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will plan carefully to ensure that everything is foolproof." Hua Ge saluted respectfully.
"Well. Draft an edict to grant Wang Hua 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 pieces of satin, and call him prime minister, and he can take charge of the world's affairs."
