"Minister Cui, why not?"
Li Shimin looked at Cui Renshi who stood out.
He knew that these people would not sit still and wait for death.
However, the general trend had already been formed, and he was not afraid of anything.
"Your Majesty, I do not think that the establishment of the Ghost Rider Department is impossible. I also support the establishment of the Ghost Rider Department. This is to deal with the catastrophe, for the people of the world." Cui Renshi's face was full of righteousness.
This caused many officials to cry out in surprise.
They looked at Cui Renshi in disbelief.
Some people even thought that this Cui family talent had been bribed by the Emperor.
However, Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others' faces darkened.
They knew very well that Cui Renshi had no reason to speak for them. Therefore, there must be something wrong.
"Minister Cui, why do you say that it is impossible?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, I am not against the establishment of the Ghost Rider Department, but against such a big move." Cui Renshi cupped his hands and said. "Now, the people already know that the immortals have descended to the world, but the evil spirits and the catastrophe are too shocking. Even in the court, many officials cannot help but be shocked, let alone the people. If we do as we said before, it will cause panic and unease in the world. Therefore, I suggest that the Ghost Rider Department should be classified as a secret, and be investigated and dealt with in secret, to ensure that the world is not in chaos and peace."
Everyone finally understood what Cui Renshi meant.
The establishment of the Ghost Rider Department was already difficult to stop.
That was to reduce the authority of the Ghost Rider Department.
This way, the influence and deterrence of the officials, especially the five families and seven kings, would be greatly reduced.
Then they would not have to worry about the Emperor using this reason to gather the imperial power and use it against the five families and seven kings.
For a moment.
It was unknown how many people in the Imperial Court voiced their opinions.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Censor Cui is right!"
"Your Majesty, if the news of the evil spirits is spread, the world will be in panic, and there will even be chaos from the Demon Sect."
"We are familiar with the scriptures, and it is inevitable that we will be afraid, let alone the people? Your Majesty, please reconsider. "
"Your Majesty, dealing with the catastrophe is for the people of the world, we cannot abandon the fundamentals."
“.....”
In a short time, the voices in the court seemed to have reversed.
Li Shimin's face was very ugly.
He took a deep look at Cui Renshi.
As expected of the second branch of the Cui family, he not only found a reason to stop him from gathering the imperial power, but also gave an explanation to the officials who were frightened by the ghost just now, gaining a lot of favors.
To be able to find such a breakthrough in such a short period of time …
He was also quick-witted.
Indeed, most of the world's geniuses were from aristocratic families!
Li Shimin glanced at Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji knew what he meant. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and said,
"Censor Cui, you're wrong. How can you hide the calamity of the world …"
Not only Zhangsun Wuji, but everyone, including Fang Xuanling, voiced their opinions.
Cui Renshi was not to be outdone.
He cited the classics and refuted them one by one.
Even the rest of the officials who had spoken out calmed down after someone took the lead. They were like a battle of words, merciless.
The situation that had been one-sided just now was gradually turned around by these officials.
The entire Imperial Court was like an intense debate.
Above their heads, there was a huge explosion.
Shen Yi and the others were also listening.
Gu Yan and the others were a little dumbfounded.
"What do you think?" Shen Yi looked at the others.
"I really underestimated the wisdom of these ancient people." Gu Yan slowly took a breath and said, "They're obviously doing it for the benefit of their own camp, but when they open their mouths, they talk about the people of the world. When they close their mouths, they're righteous and awe-inspiring, and they're quick-witted …"
"But in fact …" Reid interrupted. "Including Li Shimin, none of them really put the ordinary people in the most important position."
Catherine also nodded slightly and said. "At this time … the whole world is about the same. It's a characteristic of this period."
This was indeed a characteristic of this period.
In the eyes of these nobles, the ordinary people had a very low status.
It would gradually change later, but at this moment, it was still the same.
Even the Li Shimin who said, "The ruler is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it." He was not the current Li Shimin. He still had to be an emperor for more than ten years to have such thoughts.
Seeing that the officials below were still arguing endlessly.
Shen Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
As if seeing his dissatisfaction, Clove suddenly said softly,
"Captain, under such circumstances, even if this Ghost Rider Department is established, the aristocratic families will not support it greatly, and it will not be very efficient … Clove suggests that we intervene."
"Oh?" Shen Yi looked at Clove.
Under normal circumstances, Shen Yi would not forcibly interfere with the self-management of the civilization.
Because it usually did not have much meaning.
The association would leave sooner or later.
Interfering too much would only leave behind hidden dangers for the world after the association left.
However, Shen Yi understood what Clove meant.
Previously, Clove had said that she believed that the association should have more responsibility for such a low-level civilization with insufficient intelligence and ability, so they could intervene more deeply.
And in the process, they could guide the development of the civilization.
At this moment.
Shen Yi only thought for a moment before nodding.
"Whether it is the Emperor or these officials, none of them can truly represent the human civilization of this world. And guiding civilizations with a certain amount of potential is also one of the jobs of the Commissioner."
Shen Yi did not talk about the association's job.
Instead, he talked about the Commissioner's job.
In fact, in the previous world, he had already done something similar.
For example, in the world of the Natural Disaster, he had controlled the entire western network because at that time, he believed that there were still some people in the west who had the qualifications and potential to save themselves and survive, so he had intervened and guided.
And now …
The people of the Great Tang should not be abandoned because of the ignorance of the ruling class.
At this moment, Shen Yi looked at the four people behind him.
He had already made a decision.
"Gu Yan, I'll give you a mission, in my name …"
Shen Yi said for a while, and Gu Yan's eyes lit up.
Reed and Catherine also had envious expressions.
This mission gave Gu Yan a lot of autonomy.
If he could do it well, it would be a merit.
"Gu Yan will not disappoint you!"
Gu Yan spoke respectfully while his eyes glowed brightly. Obviously, he was filled with enthusiasm as well.
"Go." Shen Yi chuckled. "Just do it, I'll be watching you."
Then, he waved his hand gently.
Gu Yan's figure slowly flew down from the spectator stand.
At this moment, in the main hall, many officials were already red in the face.
The debate had obviously reached a climax.
