Luoyang, Yingwang Mansion, and the living room.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was quite depressing. More than a dozen officials gathered together, but it seemed very quiet. While communicating with each other with their eyes, there were people looking at King Ying Sun Bi who was musing and silently in the main seat above, waiting for him to express his thoughts.

During these days, the British Royal Party and others were very difficult to wait. Because of the influence of Li Ling's case of embezzlement of border military supplies, they were also impeached and attacked. In particular, Sun Bi was the first to be the brunt of it. He was criticized as the source of Li Ling's lawlessness. Some people even shouted to get his title and thought it would be punished.

This made the entire British Royal Party panic. For several days, people kept coming to ask for help or discuss countermeasures. The same is true today, but compared to the fact that only a few people came to ask for help, there were more than ten people today, and these people were all in important positions. The worst was the Ministry of Works, the backbone of the British Royal Party who truly held real power.

Because of this, Sun Bi also attached great importance to it today. In addition to saying some words to soothe people, he also mentioned some solutions to self-rescue, but obviously everyone was not satisfied. After a while of silence, someone finally spoke tentatively: "Your Majesty, there is actually another way to resolve our current siege, it depends on whether you want to do it."

"Oh? But what's the way?" Sun Bi looked at the other person thoughtfully, unable to hear the joy and anger in his tone.

After coughing, the censor of the Censorate said, "The key to this matter is actually Li Ling. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the initiator... Since this is the case, if you want to resolve the current problem, you have to fall on him. If the prince can personally bring us a memorial to impeach Li Ling, saying that many illegal acts can be escaped from this unfavorable situation, so that other court officials will not be able to criticize you with Li Lingzhi."

When Sun Bi heard this, his eyes sagged, and he didn't react, as if he was thinking deeply and weighing the pros and cons. Seeing this, someone felt that he was moved, so he also said, "I know the difficulties of the prince. Li Ling was the first to follow the prince, but for this reason, once something happened to him, people will find that this matter is inseparable from you. If you cannot properly resolve this matter, I am afraid that there will be more criticism in the future. Even if Your Majesty does not blame the prince for this, the prince's reputation among the people will plummet, and this will be too great."

"Yes, Prince, even if Li Ling has made merit, that's what happened back then. Now he has become a burden and flaw for you. If you don't cut off your connection with it earlier, the consequences will be worrying."

"And, please don't forget that Li Ling's current identity is not comparable to that before. Even if he returns three years later, as he is the son of the Luotian Sect, he will probably not have a foothold in the court. It can be said that he is no longer the prince's help, but has become a drag. It is better to break off relations with him early in order to get out of this matter."

"Prince, the poisonous snake eats his hands, the hero cuts his arm!"

"Prince, the dispute in the court is only day and night. Abandoning the car to protect the coach is the wisest choice..."

For a time, everyone in the hall expressed their opinions. Their ideas were completely consistent, hoping that Sun Bi could cut off his relationship with Li Ling and impeach Li Ling like other forces in the court, so that he could take himself out without being affected by this matter.

Sun Bi's expression did not change anyway, and his eyes could not slowly sweep over the people in front of him. After a long period of silence, he said softly: "What you said really makes sense. With my current identity and situation, I should not act voluntarily. I have to protect Li Ling and speak for him regardless of the consequences."

Seeing him expressing his opinion like this, everyone suddenly felt happy and quickly said in unison: "The prince is wise!"

But then, they heard Sun Bi say again: "But Wen Zhong and I have been friends for many years. I can have today thanks to his repeated help, so how can I bear it..."

"Prince, those who accomplish great things are not limited to trivial matters. A subordinate who cannot help but only causes trouble should not continue to protect him."

"Prince, I believe that even Li Ling himself will understand you. Everything should be put first of all!"

"Is the overall situation?" Sun Bi repeated this statement, and picked the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was a little sarcastic, but it quickly calmed down, which was impossible for others to catch. Then, he sighed softly: "I already know what you want, but this matter is very important, so let me think about it again. In this way, I will make a decision in three days."

"Prince, the situation is urgent, so it can't be delayed for too long..." The censor who first proposed this method couldn't help but say another sentence, but with the two coughs from the few people next to him, he suddenly woke up and quickly changed his words, "I hope the prince can make up his mind as soon as possible."

"Well, I don't have to do it, you guys go first." Sun Bi waved his hand tiredly, signaling that they could leave.

Although the few of them were a little unwilling to accept it, they didn't want to say anything more. They just bowed and then retreated and left the Ying Prince's Mansion.

However, Sun Bi did not move and sat there, her brows frowned into a deep Sichuan character. After a long period of silence, he suddenly spoke: "What do you think?"

The officials had already left just now, and he was the only one in the hall. This question naturally seemed a bit strange. But soon, as a huge screen on the side was moved away, several people came out in a row, and the question was very reasonable. It turned out that there were another group of people hidden in the hall.

Although there are not many people coming out from behind the screen, they are all the people Sun Bi trusted the most - Xiao Chengzhi and Wei Liang were on the list, and the former was even more annoyed. At this time, he couldn't help but say, "These guys are really despicable and take the blame. Do you really think we can't see their true intentions?"

Wei Liang was not as direct as he said, and he thoughtfully: "Prince, some of their words make sense. This is indeed a good way to solve the current game. However, the hidden dangers are quite great, and in my opinion, the harm is more harmful than good."

"What do you mean?" Sun Bi glanced at him and asked.

"Because of the hearts of the people, please think, Wen Zhong, who has followed you early in the morning and made great contributions to you, is now because he has lost his value and has become a burden to you. You have to attack him like others and put him to death. What will others think and think?

"I'm afraid that whether it is the court officials who have followed you or those who are watching, they will feel disappointed. Today, if something goes wrong with you, you will abandon him as if you are too old. Who is confident that you will protect them? In this way, our hearts will be dispersed.

"So this matter is of great importance, and I hope the prince will think twice before he can do it." Wei Liang said, and deeply forgot about the other party. One thing he did not directly point out, that is, with their current rank of the following people fighting with the prince, such an encounter will definitely not be missing. Once everyone has the intention of the King of England cannot protect themselves, I am afraid that the people of this party will collapse quickly.

The other people were also in deep thought. The confidants of these British kings also had considerable status and power in the court, but their friendship with Li Ling and others was not very deep, so they did not have the firm position of Wei Liang in this matter. However, his words were indeed reasonable. If they put themselves in their shoes, they did not want the master they surrendered to be such a cruel and ruthless person.

Sun Bi grinned: "What Zhongxian said is indeed reasonable, and it is consistent with my idea. Although we are in a difficult situation now, can we be sad about Wen Zhong? I have received the news that he was taken down by the government of Lianghuai and was on the way to Beijing. This time he came in a prison car.

"And after arriving in Beijing, what he had to face must be various interrogations, and some people wanted to confirm the crime. My Sun Bi was useless, and what he should think about now is how to save him, rather than putting a spoil!

"As for those people just now, I thought they would say this for three reasons. First, I was really worried that I would be implicated, so I wanted to use this method to excuse myself; second, I have always been quite jealous of Li Ling's relationship with me, and when I have the opportunity, I will naturally not let it go; as for these three, I am afraid that there are still people here who are not really seeking to surrender to me, but the prince or the king of Yong. They wish that I would have trouble here, and the people who wished that I would fall apart."

When the few people heard this, they were stunned at first, and then after taking a breath, they showed a look of pride. They thought the prince would be moved by them, but now they know that the prince is looking deeper and farther than them.

Sure enough, Sun Bi said again: "So in this matter, I must help Li Ling get rid of the crime. I also believe that Li Ling will not do such a thing. All of this is manipulated behind the scenes and framed him.

"They kept saying that they should abandon the car and protect the coach, but the problem was that on the chessboard, we could abandon the car and protect the coach, but now we are not playing chess. You are all my right-hand man, Sun Bi. I will not give up any of you. Even if I want to be enemies with more people, I will never retreat!"

Now, Sun Bi fully illuminated his determination and the spirit of the few people was suddenly revived. They were originally a little uneasy, but now, this emotion has completely disappeared. King Ying is the person who deserves their loyalty.
