The scoldings of Emperor Xia and Qin Tianjian made all the officials in the court fall silent. Even Yan Taichang, who made the suggestion, had a sudden change in expression.

He recommended the fifth prince to host the Taoism Conference because he was competing for the rights of Qin Tian Jian. It was normal for Qin Tian Jian to react accordingly.

But Emperor Xia, who had been watching the fight between his ministers with a cold eye, actually reacted like this, which was definitely beyond Yan Taichang's expectations.

The other ministers also raised their brows.

They all know that the theory of astrology is to a large extent just a toy of those in power. As long as they are in power during the prosperous times, even if the stars move, they will be suppressed by human nature and luck.

The so-called sweeping away the evil atmosphere in the southern region is just rhetoric. Yan Taichang's real purpose is to let the fifth prince sit in the Tao Discussion Conference on behalf of Emperor Xia and seize the dominance of Qin Tianjian in the Tao Discussion Conference.

This will not only enhance the prestige of the fifth prince, but also allow him to legitimately intervene in the affairs of the Qintian Supervisor, which will provide more foundation for the fifth prince to compete for the throne in the future.

They have no intention of getting involved in the struggle for imperial power, but they definitely support the good thing of limiting the power of Qin Tianjian.

But they never thought that the current result seemed to be beyond their expectations.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Xia's face was extremely gloomy.

I thought it was just a court struggle, but Yan Taichang turned out to be involved in the struggle for imperial power.

If it were simply this, it would be just a trivial matter.

Emperor Xia never minded his heirs fighting overtly and covertly for imperial power, just like he always sat back and watched the struggle for power among his ministers.

He has enough confidence in himself to be able to control everything, so he is not afraid of the chaos among his descendants.

But Yan Taichang should definitely not involve himself in what happened in the three states of the Southern Territory and claim that there is something strange happening in the three states of the Southern Territory.

The truth behind the various disasters in the three states of the Southern Territory was unknown to the officials in the court, but how could he and Qin Tianjian not be aware of it?

Behind these seemingly catastrophic events, it is the Supreme Taoist who is saving the world.

Kill the evil dragon in the Dongting, quell the heavy rain falling for thousands of miles with the magical power of praying for rain, and let the torrent of 300 miles return to the Dongting Lake to minimize the disaster.

A group of demons in the Yunfu Mountains started a war with the Yunzhou Zhennan Army, but it did not cause many casualties. On the contrary, the Supreme Daozi suppressed Kuang Tianjie, the evil-doing master of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Dao in the process.

Killing a demon giant from the True Immortal Realm was enough to save the lives of countless people, and the casualties in that war were nothing in comparison.

Later, when a group of demons from Yunfu besieged Yunfufang City, the Supreme Taoist appeared in person to scare them away.

All kinds of deeds are enough to prove that the Supreme Taoist is definitely a decent person. This is why Qin Tianjian changed his previous wait-and-see attitude and chose to contact the Supreme Taoist with the help of Rong Cheng Dayutian, the palace ancestor.

These things can only be kept in the dark and cannot be brought to light at all.

But as Yan Taichang said that the Ziwei Emperor's star in the three states of the southern region dimmed, Yinghuo Shouxin had the power to directly turn the supreme Taoist into the Yinghuo god of disaster that brought disaster to Great Xia.

Emperor Xia felt his heart tremble, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Just imagine if you were the supreme Taoist who saved the world, and heard that Taichang, the head of the nine ministers in the court, beat you as the Yinghuo Demon God, would you have any favorable impressions of this court?

Even if it is just a family talk from Tai Chang, since it is placed in the court, it represents Daxia's will.

If you can choose to block the news in private, you can speak directly in front of the court officials, and there is no possibility of blocking the news.

What's more, when the Supreme Taoist came to the Earth Immortal Avenue, his realm was already unfathomable. Maybe he had already understood the words just spoken in the court.

The efforts he and Qin Tianjian were taking to get in touch with the Supreme Taoist Master were very likely to be ruined by Yan Taichang's selfish interests.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia looked at Qin Tian Jianzheng with his angry eyes.

Sensing Emperor Xia's eyes, Qin Tianjian stood up from the head of the group of ministers with a solemn expression and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"explain!"

"I, Qin Tian Jian, have received news that Yan Taichang had a private meeting with Ambassador Yingzhou a week ago.

The Ambassador of Yingzhou is suffering from the decay of human nature in Yingzhou and hundreds of ghosts walking at night. He wants to ask your Majesty for a copy of Taishan Prefecture's talisman to suppress the ghosts.

His Majesty did not want to meet the Yingzhou ambassador, so the ambassador secretly contacted Yan Taichang, hoping to find the Taishan Prefecture Lord Fu Zhao from Yan Taichang's place.

Taishan Prefecture Lord Fu Zhao is a treasure of the underworld, and it is the foundation of our Daxia City God inheritance. I have reason to suspect that Yan Taichang has leaked the secrets about Taishan Prefecture Lord Fu Zhao.

I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an order to arrest Yan Taichang and Ambassador Yingzhou to prevent the secrets of the Yin Division's treasure from being leaked! "

Yan Taichang suddenly widened his eyes and said angrily:

"You are a slanderer! I have absolutely no contact with the Ambassador of Yingzhou. Please tell me for your Majesty's warning!"

Emperor Xia's majestic voice had a hint of coldness, and he said in a deep voice:

"Yan Xu revealed the secret of the Yin Division's treasure, dismissed Taichang from his post, and exiled his entire family to the barbarian state.

Yan Xu was taken to the imperial prison to find out what happened, and Qiu Hou asked him to kill him. "

After a slight pause, Emperor Xia's voice softened a bit.

"As for Ambassador Yingzhou, let's kill him too!"

After the words fell, two soldiers wearing silver armor and holding weapons stepped into the Jinluan Hall. The anger on Yan Taichang's face had turned into deep fear.

The three princes and nine ministers of the Humane Dynasty are all important ministers of the country. If they are dealt with casually, it will inevitably lead to turmoil in the country and shake the foundation of the dynasty.

As the head of the Nine Qings, he is the priest of heaven, earth, humans, ghosts and gods, and in charge of the underworld. His status as a city god is extremely respected.

Even if you intervene in the struggle for imperial power, you will never be directly imprisoned on trumped-up charges. The things involved are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface.

It is even possible that not only he is involved, but also the fifth prince he is optimistic about.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please let the fifth prince go!"

"This matter is due to Old Chen's own will and has absolutely nothing to do with the Fifth Prince!"

"Your Majesty, please show some mercy!"

Yan Taichang's shrill roar gradually faded away, and all the officials in the court felt a shudder.

They knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for Yan Taichang to return to China and live through tomorrow while in prison.

And what Yan Taichang said made everyone feel chilled.

The fifth prince is currently the most talented prince among the royal family. His cultivation has reached the early stage of Qi training and he is regarded as one of the heirs to the throne.

This incident not only caused Taichang, the leader of the Nine Ministers, to be imprisoned, but it might even endanger the fifth prince.

While the thoughts of the ministers were wandering, Emperor Xia on the dragon throne said in a low voice:

"Today's events must not be spread to outsiders."

However, a Taichang's imprisonment was very involved, so how could such a thing be completely concealed?

The symbolic meaning of Emperor Xia's words is far greater than its actual effect.

"Retreat!"

The ministers saluted and exited the Jinluan Hall one after another.

In the empty hall, only Emperor Xia and Qin Tianjian were left.

"The affairs of Supreme Daozi must not be leaked. This accident can only be the result of Qin Tianjian's plot against Taichang's position."

Emperor Xia's voice was calm, as if he was stating a fact.

The meaning is also very simple, that is, let Qin Tianjian take the initiative to take the responsibility of designing and murdering Taichang and minimize the negative impact.

Qin Tianjian bowed indifferently:

"Yan Taichang controls the affairs of the City God of the Yin Division, and Qin Tianjian is not at ease.

Now that Yan Taichang took the initiative to intervene in the struggle for imperial power and was caught, it is only logical that the Qintian Prison would add fuel to the flames. "

Emperor Xia nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, the Jinluan Hall fell into silence again.

Qin Tianjian was looking directly at Emperor Xia behind the bead curtain, and Emperor Xia seemed to be hesitating about something.

Finally, Qin Tianjian spoke:

"Your Majesty, there may be shadows of the fifth prince behind the quote about Yinghuo Shouxin.

Your Majesty was willing to give up even Taichang, and would rather shake the fate of the dynasty than avoid arousing that person's bad feelings, but he softened his heart when he was in front of the prince? "

Emperor Xia was silent.

After a long time, Emperor Xia's voice took on a hint of emotionless indifference.

"He is your disciple, go and give him a ride!"
