Chapter 514 A complete breakup
Wu Chengsi crossed his legs and said, "I have no objection."
"Okay, Master." Li Cunxi looked at Wu Sansi again, "I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Liang objects to this?"
Wu Sansi looked unhappy.
If four out of five people do not object, then even if the last one objects, there will be little change.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Three votes against two in the political canteen are enough to change the outcome of an event, let alone four votes against one.
Now that none of the four people objected, there was no way he could let this matter fall through even if he talked his mouth off.
"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Liang has no objection. Okay, this matter is passed unanimously. Let's discuss the second matter."
Li Cunxi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then looked at the second item.
The second matter that needed to be dealt with was the promotion of Lu Tong, the General of the Left Jinwu Guard, to the General of the Left Jinwu Guard.
This matter is easy to discuss. After all, he was only promoted to general, not to major general.
And Lu Tong was obviously not a subordinate of the others present.
Li Cunxi tilted his head and asked calmly, "Does anyone object to this?"
Wu Sansi gritted his teeth and thought that he was targeted at me again, so he stood up angrily.
He gathered his emotions and pointed at Li Cunxi.
"Just tell me what you want, don't keep asking questions here!"
"What's the point of asking again and again? Anyway, you guys have the final say in the Political Affairs Hall. It has nothing to do with me!"
Li Cunxi picked up the tea bowl nonchalantly, took a sip, then slowly raised his head and said:
"This is the will of His Majesty. If you want to express your opinion, just say it. Why do you care whether I ask or not?"
"If you really don't want to answer, just sit there and treat me as if you are dumb. I, Li Cunxi, will definitely not ask you any more questions."
Wu Sansi's resentment that had been pent up for years burst out, and his murderous intent towards Li Cunxi was almost intense to the extreme.
"You are presumptuous!"
"Do you think that just because you are the Duke of Qin and the head of all officials, you can step on me?"
"I'm telling you, Li Cunxi, you're just a little jerk!"
"You little bastard, you were lucky to survive Li Ai's death. If you were in my hands, I would kill you!"
Li Cunxi had a blank expression on his face, drinking tea and watching the joke.
If he didn't need to hold it in, he would have let out a roar of laughter in front of the prime ministers.
It seems that Wu Sansi had accumulated a lot of resentment over the past few years. He didn't dare to do this in front of Wu Zetian, but instead vented it in front of Li Cunxi.
Wu Sansi cursed loudly, spitting everywhere.
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi watched this show as if they were watching monkeys.
After a long time, Wu Sansi got tired of scolding, so he sat down on a chair, opened the lid of the teacup and drank a large bowl of tea.
When he turned around again, he saw the mocking expression on Li Cunxi's face.
"Your Highness Prince Liang has a really bad temper, just like the cesspool dug by ordinary people."
"Li just asked a few questions today about how to solve political issues, but His Royal Highness Prince Liang was so angry that he wanted to kill Li."
"Why didn't His Royal Highness Prince Liang say this in the Linde Palace?"
"Could it be that they knew that Li would not speak ill of them, while the officials would attack each other as soon as they disagreed?"
"Or has His Royal Highness Prince Liang forgotten who is involved in Li's family affairs?"
Li Cunxi looked calm and reminded Wu Sansi indifferently.
If Wu Sansi was not stupid enough to draw his sword and fight him immediately, he could insult Wu Sansi however he wanted.
The so-called combination of Prince Liang and the prime minister of the time was no longer impressive enough in front of Li Cunxi.
However, for the sake of some people's face, Wu Sansi cannot be killed, otherwise, there will be one more corpse in Luoyang City.
"You...you dare to threaten me?" Wu Sansi pointed at Li Cunxi and trembled with anger.
He could never have imagined that the young man who was kneeling and trembling on the ground of Ganlu Hall in Taiji Palace three years ago has now grown up to the point where he dares to threaten him.
Nowadays, Li Cunxi has become the well-deserved heir of the Li family. If he wants to slander and get rid of Li Cunxi again, he can only risk the lives of everyone in his mansion to gamble whether Wu Zetian still has any affection for him.
With Wu Sansi's intelligence, the only way he could think of to frame Li Cunxi was to kill all of Wu Sansi's family, including Wu Sansi himself, and leave behind clues pointing to Li Cunxi before his death.
Moreover, the death must be caused by murder, and the clues left behind must be ambiguous, which just happens to make Li Cunxi the only suspect.
Only in this way could Wu Sansi have a chance to frame someone successfully.
Otherwise, the only option is to rebel.
However, does a person like Wu Sansi really have the courage to give up everything he has gained over the years by framing others and bullying men and women?
Obviously impossible.
He would cherish everything he had for this thing that was worse than an animal.
Just like now, without getting an answer from Li Cunxi, after careful consideration, Wu Sansi let out a long sigh.
He was like a defeated rooster, dejected.
"From now on, as long as you don't discuss matters related to me, I will not speak when I come to the Political Affairs Hall. The four of you can discuss these matters."
He sat down dejectedly, feeling extremely annoyed and sad about why he didn't take Li Cunxi's life back then.
"In that case, Your Highness Prince Liang, please go to the side and cool down."
Li Cunxi was also very blunt. Without Wu Sansi's interference, everyone would be able to handle government affairs faster and faster.
In the past government affairs hall, Wu Sansi would refute Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi without hesitation, regardless of whether what they said was right or wrong, and then state his own reasons.
It's as if his insights are unique and no one else could ever think of them.
But what insights could a fool like Wu Sansi have? He could only make no achievements in the political game, watch others talk big, and finally silently give up his own vulgar remarks.
Therefore, every time they argued about a government matter, a lot of time would be wasted. Although Wu Sansi himself was defeated miserably every time, he was still in high spirits and decided to come again next time.
There were only five or six government matters left that needed to be sent to the Council of State, and the four of them had finished discussing them in less than two quarters of an hour.
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi looked at the empty Government Affairs Hall and suddenly felt relieved.
They are not young anymore, and it is not a good idea for them to stay in the office every day to handle government affairs.
Now that the rotten apple of King Liang is gone, they can handle government affairs at a lightning speed.
"Alright, elders, the government affairs have been processed and sent to His Majesty for review."
"Let's rest here for a while and wait for His Majesty's review. Then we can go back home and have lunch."
Li Cunxi laughed, came to Wu Chengsi's side, and whispered:
"Master, I want Brother Yanhao to go to the Luozhou Governor's Mansion for some training. What do you think?"
