Chapter 362: The Signs of a Noble Family

"Mr. Liu is wise~~~"

Accompanied by the loud shouts of the ministers, the whole scene seemed extremely harmonious.

There was no objection in this situation, which made Liu Yuntian feel a little surprised.

He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Su Liang, and his eyes happened to catch the other person's head lowered, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was lost in deep thought.

Sure enough, not long after, just as Liu Yuntian expected, Su Liang slowly straightened up and walked out of the crowd.

His face was solemn, his eyes were sharp as a knife, he stared straight at Liu Yuntian in front of him, and said loudly: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the commander to act like this?"

Hearing that Su Liang was stepping forward to cause trouble again, Liu on the side suddenly became nervous.

His body trembled slightly involuntarily, which was obviously a physiological reaction caused by the rapid surge of adrenaline in his body.

This trembling indicated that Liu Yi's body had entered a combat state and was ready to respond to conflict at any time.

However, before Liu Yi could take any action, the quick-eyed and quick-handed Liu Yuntian quickly stretched out a big hand and pressed it firmly on Liu Yi's shoulder.

Liu Yuntian knew very well that he must not let the impulsive Liu Yi act rashly at this moment, so as to avoid rumors spreading later that he, Liu Yuntian, was harming loyal people.

So, he held Liu Yi firmly with his firm and powerful hands to prevent him from doing anything extreme or outrageous.

At the same time, Su Liang continued to accuse mercilessly: "I remember clearly that the commander invited us here to attend your brother's coming-of-age ceremony."

"But now, you have made the decision on the Imperial College so hastily..."

"Sir, what you are doing is more than an act of usurpation..."

"This is simply treason and an attempt to usurp the throne!"

When he said the last few words, Su Liang's voice suddenly rose octaves, shocking everyone present.

The entire Liang State officialdom knew that if Liu Yuntian wanted to ascend the throne, no one would dare to raise any objections or express opposition.

Because Liu Yuntian's power and prestige have reached a point where no one can shake it, the so-called usurpation of power is simply an absurd joke.

You know, even if Liu Yuntian said that he was overstepping his authority, it was just a self-deprecating statement;

But if these words came out of someone else's mouth, the consequences would be disastrous, and they might even be charged with a serious crime.

At this moment, many officials turned around at the same time and cast their eyes on Su Liang.

Some of them could not help thinking: Mr. Qian has always been known for his wisdom and intelligence, and he has been sitting firmly in the high position for many years. However, he did not expect that such an ignorant guy would emerge under his command and cause such a big mess. I am afraid that Mr. Qian's reputation will be in jeopardy!

But there are also some people who hold different views. They always believe that Mr. Qian has an extremely accurate vision for people.

Looking back, Liu Yuntian had fallen into a trough several times, but every time at the critical moment, Mr. Qian was able to make the right choice and firmly support Liu Yuntian, so that he was able to safely overcome the crisis.

Therefore, it is very likely that Su Liang's actions this time were not instructed by Mr. Qian, but were a conspiracy secretly arranged by Fang Qing, whose purpose was nothing more than to take the opportunity to frame Mr. Qian.

It is worth mentioning that the predecessor of the Cabinet was the Censorate, which had a respected position in the court and was ranked among the Three Dukes, second only to the two most prominent positions, the Grand Marshal and the Prime Minister.

Ever since General Qi committed suicide, that prestigious position has remained vacant until now, attracting the covetous attention of countless people.

And the Chief Censor of the Imperial Censorate defected to the State of Li during the Battle of Liangli!

In the end, the traitor and his family were sentenced to death and all the members of the family were executed.

Since then, the position of Grand Censor has remained vacant.

Since Liu Yuntian took office, he has been well aware of the complicated situation in the court and the constant open and covert struggles among various forces.

In order to stabilize the court and strengthen central power, he decided to establish a cabinet system after careful consideration.

This move will not only disperse power, but also better balance the interests of all parties.

Therefore, Liu Yuntian made a prompt decision and pushed the highly respected Lord Qian to the front, asking him to replace the vacant position of the Chief Censor, and officially renamed the Censorate as the Cabinet.

As a result, only two of the three ministers in the court are still alive: one is Prime Minister Fang Qing; the other is Cabinet Minister Qian.

As the saying goes, the officialdom is like a battlefield, and the struggle for power has always been full of intrigue and scheming.

As for who this newly emerging Su Liang belongs to, there were many different opinions and no consensus.

Some people speculated that perhaps, as everyone thought, Su Liang was a trusted and beloved general promoted by Fang Qing himself.

Allowing him to enter the cabinet this time was a conspiracy carefully planned by Fang Qing, with the purpose of secretly framing Mr. Qian.

However, things are often not as simple as they seem.

Some people also believe that Su Liang is actually a hidden chess piece of Mr. Qian, and he was sent into the cabinet through Fang Qing.

In this way, once the truth comes out, Liu Yuntian will certainly suspect that all this is Fang Qing's deliberate means to frame Mr. Qian, and will begin to be suspicious of him.

You must know that both Mr. Qian and Fang Qing were trusted ministers appointed by Liu Yuntian himself. They both held prominent positions and played an important role in the court.

In this seemingly confusing power struggle, it is still unknown who will win in the end...

And this Su Liang is nothing more than a puppet who was sold and helped others count money. After being brainwashed, he is fearless and even proud of death. He wishes Liu Yuntian would kill him immediately to achieve posthumous fame.

I have to say that this kind of brainwashing method is indeed very vicious.

Liu Yuntian was very cautious towards Su Liang.

Throughout the Liang State, the Jinyiwei were spread all over the country, and even in each county there were Jinyiwei deployed, both openly and secretly.

No matter where this Su Liang came from, the moment he was included in the list, his identity was definitely placed on Liu Yuntian's desk.

In fact, he does have a name, but it is only a name!

There was no extra information, which was the Jinyiwei's dereliction of duty.

At the same time, Liu Yuntian trusts Fang Qing and Qian Lao, but he does not rule out the possibility that they may have some inappropriate thoughts after eliminating the external threats.

In Liu Yuntian's mind, Su Liang might be a time bomb released by these two people.

It is also possible that some county or official was sent out to disrupt the court.

But the appearance of this kind of cannon fodder often means one situation.

That means someone wants to restore the power of the aristocratic family!

It is a taboo for a country to monopolize power! This will scare both the people and the officials!

Under the rule of one man, whatever Liu Yuntian said would come true. For example, if he wanted to kill someone, as long as Liu Yuntian said to kill him, there would be no possibility for that person to survive.

Even if he was wronged, how could this not make people feel chilled?

Therefore, as long as this drawback is exposed, there will naturally be voices hoping for the emergence of a person or organization that can check and balance Liu Yuntian.

This way, at least we can resist Liu Yuntian's arbitrary actions.

So who is qualified to check and balance Liu Yuntian?

That's another organization, of course.

It can be a party of officials or a family of officials.

And this Su Liang is a signal.

As long as Liu Yuntian ordered his execution, the news of Liu Yuntian's tyrannical behavior would spread throughout the entire Liang State the next day.

He monopolized government affairs, refused to listen to advice, and did whatever he wanted!

If a country is in a state of panic and is being manipulated by people with ulterior motives, it will not be far from destruction.
