Chapter 154: Xianglong Kingdom Negotiation

The atmosphere of the court meeting this morning seemed a bit solemn. Even if the official rank was low on weekdays, the small officials who came and walked through the court every time they felt the weirdness of the court, standing behind the ministers' team, trembling, and dare not to come out.
Emperor Xiao Tianci sat on the dragon chair, looking very majestic, but his face was a bit ugly.
What happened one after another in the past few days made him feel really bad.
The killing of Prime Minister Yan Jilong was a good thing for him, so he directly chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and did not pursue the matter.
Otherwise, the dignified prime minister's mansion would be destroyed, how could he be indifferent as the emperor.
But after Yan Jilong's death, he found that everything was not as simple as he thought, and a lot of government affairs were pressing on him, making him a little breathless.
Then, there was a terrifying battle in front of Lingyun Commercial Bank. Houses within a radius of a radius were destroyed and numerous casualties, but he was still unable to manage.
The strength of the two warring parties was too strong, and he could only choose to ignore it again, and he didn't even send anyone to investigate at the time. This incident made him feel for the first time that the emperor did not seem to sit so easily.
If these two things are within his acceptance range, then he will not be able to tolerate what happened in the past two days.
The first event was that all 20 generals of the Forbidden Army were killed within two days, and the second event was that the border town of Broken Blade was broken by the enemy.
"Shen Yun, I asked you to investigate the murder of the Forbidden Army generals. Is there any progress?" Xiao Tianci asked with a hint of anger in his voice.
Shen Yun, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a member of the Fourth Grade, was in charge of court cases and the official responsible for investigating the killing of the forbidden army.
All the generals of the Forbidden Army were killed, making Xiao Tianci furious, but there was also a trace of fear in his heart.
These generals were not only the fifth-rank generals of the imperial court, but also their own cronies, but some people killed them in Los Angeles without hesitation.
If it's just one or two, then he can understand, but this is a total of twenty generals of the forbidden army!
He wouldn't believe it if he was killed, it was not for him.
In the face of Xiao Tianci, whose emotions were a little out of control, Shen Yun was not at all afraid. He was a court official, but he was also a collateral child of the Shen family of the three big families. As long as he did not make a big mistake, Xiao Tianci did not dare to easily commit crimes. Yourself.
Shen Yun walked out of the crowd and arched his hands to Xiao Tianci, who was sitting in a high position, and said flatly: ""Your Majesty Qi, the minister has already found out that the murderers who assassinated twenty generals of the Forbidden Army were the killers of the Assassin's Guild. In the Assassin’s Guild, the mission to assassinate the generals of the Forbidden Army was released. Each leader of the Forbidden Army is worth 50,000 Lingjing. "
"What, someone actually released the mission of assassinating the imperial general in the Assassin's Guild, who is so bold!"
"No matter who it is, the identity must not be simple. Each person has 50,000 Lingjing, and 20 can be 1 million Lingjing. This is simply a sky-high price!"
"Yes! I really can't think of anyone in Los Angeles who has such a big hand, spending so many spirit crystals to kill several generals, what a hatred is this!"
As soon as Shen Yun spoke out, the officials standing below began to whisper, but they were more shocked by the handwriting of the person who issued the task.
After listening to Shen Yun's words, Xiao Tianci's expression became even more ugly. If what Shen Yun said was true, then there was really no way to investigate this matter.
The Assassin's Guild has a special status, even if it is the emperor, he dare not provoke it, let alone let them reveal the identity of the person who issued the mission.
This made Xiao Tianci a little aggrieved. Why was this emperor so aggrieved?
Shen Yun didn't care what Xiao Tianci was thinking, after answering Xiao Tianci's question, he returned directly to the queue of courtiers.
Xiao Tianci, who was in a bad mood, didn't bother to deal with Shen Yun's rudeness, but instead wondered who should fill the vacancy of the generals of the imperial army.
Seeing Xiao Tianci's appearance, the three brothers Xiao Wuya moved their minds. This is an excellent opportunity to arrange their own people in the Forbidden Army!
The three of them were ready to speak, but someone rushed to speak in front of them.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is not the most important thing for the time being. The current top priority is to deal with the western border. Broken Blade City is broken by the Xianglong Kingdom. We must be fully prepared, otherwise I am afraid it will cause trouble. Catastrophe!"
Although Zhai Linfeng, the new Marshal Marshal of the Kingdom, knew that Xiao Tianci was in a bad mood, the situation on the border was so critical that he could only stand up and stand up.
Sure enough, Xiao Tianci's expression was almost gloomy when he heard Zhai Linfeng's words.
He let out a long sigh of relief and relieved the depression in his heart. The dazzling cold light swept across the courtiers above the court and asked coldly: "Li Jun, you are the minister of war, there is a crisis in Broken Blade City, why? In the beginning, it was concealed and not reported. Also, why has the Ministry of War still not sent troops to rescue?"
This incident was another thing that made him angry. Broken Blade City was attacked a month ago, when he had just ascended to the throne, this group of people deceived him, and no news reached him.
It wasn't until half a month ago that he completely stabilized the court situation before the Ministry of War passed the news up, and he was surprised at that time.
He naturally knew the importance of Broken Blade City better than anyone else. He quickly asked the Ministry of War to draw up a rescue plan, but after half a month passed, the Ministry of War did not come up with any plan at all.
Li Jun hurriedly stepped out of the courtiers, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! It's not the minister who deceived and didn't report it! It is indeed the traitor Yan Jilong who pressed the official position and forcibly detained the memorial of the minister. ."
Yes, the military officer directly pushed all the responsibilities to Yan Jilong, who was already dead, and this was another dead end.
Xiao Tianci's face turned black, and he roared angrily: "Come on, Li Jun, the head of the Ministry of War, has neglected his duty and put me in a jail for disposal."
Li Jun's background is not very deep, so he was very innocent and was used as a punching bag by Xiao Tianci.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"
Li Jun wailed his nose and tears, but Xiao Tianci ignored him and was dragged out.
Disposing of an official, playing a majestic manner, Xiao Tianci felt much better in his heart, and said to the officials below: "I wonder if you Aiqing have any good strategies to retake Broken Blade City?"
As soon as this was said, all the officials in the court were silent, obviously not wanting to answer.
But other people can't answer. As Xiao Tianci's cronies, the current Marshal Zhai Linfeng can't be silent.
He had to stand up again helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the present, only peace is the best policy!"
Asking for peace has always been something that the weaker party can do. It is usually a strategy often used by civil servants. However, today, the word for peace is uttered from the dignified Marshal, which disappoints Xiao Tianci.
He just wanted to speak up, but he didn't expect that the court officials suddenly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the General Marshal said is quite true. There is only one way to make peace at the moment!"
"Your Majesty, the Xianglong Kingdom is now in full force. We should avoid it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Broken Blade City has fallen. I have no soldiers available in the Great Zhou. You must not start the war lightly. Please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Countless voices for peace rang out in the court hall, making Xiao Tianci feel desperate. Why are all the civil and military people in this dynasty so weak?
"Report, Broken Blade City urgent report, Xianglong Kingdom asks for peace with me in Dazhou! Someone will be sent to Los Angeles soon!"
At this moment, the sharp voice of an resounded throughout the court hall, making countless courtiers dumbfounded.
