Chapter 65: Intrigue

In the middle of the court, on a domineering golden dragon chair, a sixty old man silently looked at the ministers below, his eyes flashed, and he said indifferently: Let’s talk about it. What do you think about the murder in the jurisdiction? "
Sage of Enlightenment, Huai'an Palace Chief Situ Zhengqing died of a public battle when he killed the beasts of the Night Demon Forest. "
Minister seconded! "
Minister seconded! "
...
The ministers all agreed with each other, and they deeply agreed with this kind of harmony. Even if there was any battle between the courts, they would not be guilty of both.
With a cold smile, the emperor didn't know the Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but he didn't say anything.
His Majesty! "
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded, but as a heavy step approached one after another, a nine-foot-long general with white temples and a heavy armour, with a long sword at his waist, walked up to the court and shouted. : A dignified official who was killed in his jurisdiction is a provocation to the court. Your Majesty must strictly investigate, how could it be so hastily? "
General Baihu, Murong Mountain?
Seeing this tall figure, all the ministers present couldn't help but tighten their faces.
This person is the leader of the White Tiger Legion, one of the Five Great War Kings of the Fenglei Empire, and one of the five first-rank generals of the Empire, and the Patriarch of the Murong Family, Murong Mountain.
Millions of elite soldiers guard the northwestern border of the empire, unstoppable.
He made great contributions to the empire, so he was chartered not to go to court on weekdays, and he did not kneel down in the upper court, and his power was almost on par with the emperor.
But even so, there is no one with a weapon to advance, this is regarded as the crime of killing the king.
But today, he came with a sword, how arrogant.
When the courtiers saw it, they hushed their eyes and did not dare to speak. There was only an old man in his seventies who glanced at him obliquely and said: General Murong is so majestic. You just said that a palace lord died below. It is said that some people are going to rebel, but what do you mean when you enter the DPRK with a weapon today? Don't you want to use the sword to intimidate your Majesty? "
Prime Minister Wang, the old man is a vulgar person, so don't use your literati suit to label the old man indiscriminately. "
He smiled and curled his lips. Murongshan didn't look at him. He just took off the long sword at his waist and offered it to the emperor. He said to the emperor: Your Majesty, the old man leads his soldiers all his life and fights on the battlefield. He never leaves. If your Majesty feels that there is something wrong with the old minister leading the soldiers to the temple today, please use the long sword to chop off the old man's head in order to follow your example. "
hiss!
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers couldn't help taking a breath.
Murongshan, you are so bold, aren't you trying to force the palace?
With the million elite soldiers in the northwest in your hands, who would dare to cut you? The emperor did not dare.
Otherwise, if a million elite soldiers conspire, wouldn't the empire be destroyed directly? You know so well, and you have no fear. By doing so, you are oppressing your Majesty.
Everyone knows this in their hearts, but they dare not say it.
The emperor hushed his eyes, forced himself to suppress his anger, waved his hand indifferently, and smiled: Aiqing is serious. Aiqing is the veteran of the three dynasties, and his merits are overwhelming. How can I blame Aiqing for this trivial matter? How is this different from Huojun? Ha ha ha...Let's do this, I Zhun Aiqing leads soldiers to the palace. "
Thank you, Your Majesty! "
Nodding lightly, Murong Shan looked at the Prime Minister Wang provocatively.
Prime Minister Wang remained silent and ignored.
Murong Shan gave a wicked smile, then clasped his fist to the emperor: Your Majesty, Situ is being killed in his own jurisdiction. This fact is strange. Please allow the old man to send someone to find out the truth. Don't let the pillars of the imperial court die with injustice. "
Your Majesty, there is Situ Zheng's deputy to this matter, and Vice Admiral He personally reported that he was killed by the demon lord of the Night Demon Forest. The facts are very clear. I think General Murong doesn't have to be a branch. "
As soon as this remark came out, then Prime Minister Wang immediately stood up and said.
His complexion couldn't stop sinking, Murong Shan was immediately furious: There are branches? It’s not yours who dares to die, is it? "
No matter who died, this matter will stop here. Don't forget, according to what the deputy general described, that demon master is a legendary humanoid monster. Provoked by such a terrible existence, the entire empire will be in turmoil, so it's better to settle down! "
Humanoid monster? That is just a legend. Who in the world has ever seen a monster beast that has grown into adulthood? Then Lieutenant He is lowly capable, and it is excusable to be deceived. In my opinion, what kind of humanoid monster is that someone pretends to be a ghost. In the entire Huai'an Mansion, there was a group of ineffective monsters in the Night Demon Forest, led by two little monsters, and casually killed. How could there be any humanoid monster masters? "
Yo, have you become two little monsters now? When Situ was asking for military expenses from the Ministry of War, he said that the demon king in the forest was fierce and could not die after years of encirclement and suppression, which endangered the stability of the local area. Now he just killed him casually? Humph! "
With a cold smile, Prime Minister Wang sneered.
Murongshan's face twitched and his fists were clenched in anger.
In fact, in the entire court, who didn't know, every mansion of the empire had so many unkillable bandits or monsters that needed to be encircled for years.
So, isn't it just asking for money from above?
It can be said that these bandit monsters are all raised by the local palace owner and deliberately not exterminate them. If anyone takes the initiative to exterminate them, the local palace owner must be anxious with him.
This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows, even the emperor knows it in his heart.
It's just like today, it's the first time I got it to the court.
Glancing at the two of them, the emperor smiled and waved his hand: Okay, the two Aiqings don't have to fight. I think so, since General Murong thinks there is something wrong here, then I will send someone down to take a look. Come, let the inner palace walk, Xue Pan went to Huai'an Mansion! "
Yes, Your Majesty! "
The one next to him was too monitoring, nodded slightly, and went to deliver the decree.
The Prime Minister Wang and Murong Shan glared at each other, bowed to the emperor, and then retreated.
After waiting for the next dynasty, Murongshan returned to the hall of the mansion, slapped the table fiercely, and immediately shook the marble table beside him to pieces. He cursed: Sending a little to investigate this matter, it is clear that it is. Perfunctory old man, hum! "
The emperor has the emperor's ideas, so the Patriarch need not be angry. "
On the right side of the hall, there is a fire, and an old man with white hair is grilling by the fire to keep warm. Even if it is now in the dog days, his whole body is still cold, and he muttered: Patriarch has seen the joint names of the Huai'an families Believe it? I heard that Palace Master Situ didn't have a very good relationship with the families, and as a result, he died, and the families of the families joined him to ask for credit. This is tantamount to telling the world that this matter is related to them. "
Humph, there is no silver three hundred taels here. These idiots, I haven't found them yet, but they jumped out first. "With a cold smile, Murong Shan's eyes flashed with killing intent.
The old man didn't look at him, but shook his head leisurely and said: No, this is a wonderful move. It seems to be a bachelor to take the suspicion on his head, but in fact it is a secret encounter with the court. conspiracy. "
