Chapter 330 This Isn’t the First Time This Has Happened. Are You Still Afraid of Being Laughed At?
"Fellow Taoist, this matter is of great importance and needs long-term consideration."
After hearing Pei Xuanjing's inquiry, Ye Daoyuan said solemnly.
Pei Xuanjing was puzzled: "Are there any concerns?"
Nowadays, the contradiction between the two parties has been clearly stated and cannot be reconciled at all. Either party is riding a tiger and cannot give in.
In Pei Xuanjing's view, Ye Daoyuan and the others should be prepared, or perhaps have a complete plan and arrangement to prepare for the next action.
But when he asked and heard Ye Daoyuan's answer, Pei Xuanjing couldn't help but wonder, after such a long time, the other party didn't even make a plan to connect?
Ye Daoyuan felt a little embarrassed when he saw Pei Xuanjing's expression. He smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in the court is quite complicated now. In addition to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, there are still some people who have not really made up their minds, so..."
The current situation in the court is still relatively complicated. In addition to the faction represented by the emperor and the faction represented by the queen mother, there are also some other people.
The power that people on this side have in the court is not small. Once they join any side, the current situation will be easier, but they did not make a choice immediately.
Most of them were selected and promoted by the late Emperor Jian Ba. They all held high positions and were loyal to the late Emperor. Even the new Emperor and the Queen Mother could not take action without the other party making mistakes.
These people are actually the least willing to see the current situation. They don't want to see the late emperor's successor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, be deposed.
But he also didn't want to see the emperor take action against the Queen Mother just after he ascended the throne. In the end, not only did the Queen Mother not end well, but the Emperor also had to bear the reputation of being unfilial.
Therefore, they have been mediating between the two parties and painstakingly maintained the situation in the court.
"Haha." Pei Xuanjing chuckled, finally understanding the other party's difficulty.
After all, because of the existence of a third-party force, and because this third-party force is not small, they are now unwilling to take the initiative, lest they offend the other party and make the other party fall into the other party's lineup.
"So, fellow Taoist, do you understand my difficulty?" Ye Daoyuan said to Pei Xuanjing: "In the final analysis, the old Taoist is just a minister of the late emperor, a mere supervisor of Qintian Prison."
Although Ye Daoyuan now strongly advocates supporting the emperor and was even injured in a fight with the Queen Mother because of this matter, he knows that his identity is still a bit embarrassing.
His position as supervisor was recommended by the original Taoist sect and approved by the late emperor, so he was qualified to lead the Taoist sect and serve as the Taoist sect's spokesperson in the court.
But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, according to the old practice, he should have resigned from the position of supervisor, and then be elected by the Taoist sect, and the new emperor would have re-appointed a Qin Tian supervisor.
Even in Ye Daoyuan's view, Pei Xuanjing, with his identity, will actually be the most suitable candidate to take over his position as Qintian Supervisor. After all, he has the trust of the new emperor, and the Taoist side has its own support, so there should be no Any questions.
But who would have expected that as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he could not wait to start squeezing out the Queen Mother's followers in the court and deploying his own cronies. This move attracted a thunderous counterattack from the Queen Mother, which brought the situation to a stalemate. He who was supposed to The prisoner who left remained in his place.
He smiled and said to Pei Xuanjing: "Actually, fellow Taoist is the most suitable person for this position at the moment."
Pei Xuanjing shook his head: "I'm not interested in that position at all."
If he belongs to this world, then he may still be interested in taking up the position of supervisor. After all, he can learn a lot in that position and has many benefits.
Unfortunately, for Pei Xuanjing, everything in this world is only a small part of his life. It may be important, but it is by no means the whole of life.
He is just a passerby in this world. After he has accomplished everything he wants to do in this world, he has no nostalgia for this world.
Even taking a step back, Pei Xuanjing was still the teacher of the emperor in the Ming Dynasty. He held the position of national teacher, which was more respected than the position of supervisor. But even then, Pei Xuanjing didn't take those things too seriously.
Pei Xuanjing just wants to live forever and become an immortal immortal. This is his goal and pursuit.
"I understand." Ye Daoyuan sighed, feeling a little pity.
What he said just now was a test to see if Pei Min could be allowed to take over the position of supervisor.
But unfortunately, Pei Min refused without hesitation.
Although it was expected, I was still disappointed after getting the answer.
Ye Daoyuan had speculated before that Pei Min was unwilling to accept this position. Especially after hearing the other party's words of seeking truth just now, he was even more sure.
However, being in this position, he couldn't help but want to give it a try. He didn't really give up until the other party refused.
How could such a cultivator who aspires to be a heavenly being be willing to waste time in this position?
Ye Daoyuan thought in his heart.
Pei Xuanjing's words interrupted Ye Daoyuan's contemplation: "Actually, I don't think this matter is that troublesome."
Ye Daoyuan came back to his senses and looked at Pei Xuanjing: "Please ask fellow Taoist to clarify my doubts."
A smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing's lips, but what he said shocked Ye Daoyuan.
"The situation in front of us seems complicated and difficult to handle, but in the final analysis it only depends on one person. As long as there is no obstruction from her, all the troubles will disappear."
Ye Daoyuan took a breath of cold air and said in a deep voice: "If you want to do something right, attack the Queen Mother directly!"
Isn't he a dull person? After hearing Pei Xuanjing's words, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
Pei Xuanjing asked back: "Isn't this the reason why you expect me to enter Kyoto?"
Ye Daoyuan frowned slightly and explained: "Our plan is for prevention, not to take action. After all, the other party's identity is unusual. She is His Majesty's biological mother. If word spreads, it will be."
Pei Xuanjing sneered and said: "So what if it spreads out? This is not the first time this has happened in the Tang Dynasty. Are you afraid that people will laugh at you?"
"You" Ye Daoyuan was stunned, feeling that the guy in front of him was really crazy, even saying such words.
Although this kind of thing happened in the Tang Dynasty, it was still taboo. It was not easy to do, and no one dared to mention it. If the other party mentioned it like this, if it were not because of concern about strength, the royal family would be furious after the news spread.
Pei Xuanjing didn't care about this and said: "If you have so many worries about whether you are a king or a bandit, then you might as well stop fighting and just give up the country."
