Until three days later, the whole family rushed to the capital to prepare for the president's succession ceremony.
At the same time, Vice General He's battle report that he encountered the Lord of the Night Demon, his entire army was annihilated, and even the master of the palace died in battle, as well as a memorial from the major families in Huai'an jointly pleading for merit for Situ Zheng, all arrived at the imperial court. The whole government and the public were shocked.
The head of a dignified mansion and a high-ranking official in the border area were actually killed in his own territory.
¡°Is this a riot coming from the bottom, dissatisfaction with the court, or is it an internal power struggle between the government and the opposition that has spread to the lower levels?
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire court was depressing. Everyone frowned and remained silent, not daring to speak casually.
In the middle of the court, on a domineering golden dragon chair, a sixty-year-old man silently looked at the ministers below, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Let's talk about it. The officials of the government are in their own way." He was killed in his jurisdiction, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Situ Zhengqing, the leader of the Huai'an Palace, died in the line of duty when he was suppressing the monsters in the Night Demon Forest. He was loyal to the country and was truly a loyal minister and good general, and should be commended by the whole country."
??Smiling coldly, the emperor didn't know about Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but he didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, but I heard heavy steps approaching one after another. A nine-foot-long general with gray hair on his temples, covered in heavy armor, with a long sword on his waist, walked into the court with a dragon-like stride and shouted. : "The murder of a dignified official in the territory under his own jurisdiction is a provocation to the imperial court. Your Majesty must investigate strictly, how can you let it be done so hastily?"
General White Tiger, Murong Shan?
Seeing this tall figure, all the ministers present could not help but tense up.
This person is the leader of the White Tiger Legion, one of the five war kings of the Fenglei Empire, one of the five first-class generals conferred by the empire, and the head of the Murong family, Murong Shan.
With millions of elite soldiers under his command, they guard the northwest territory of the empire and are unstoppable.
He had made great contributions to the empire, so he was allowed not to go to court on weekdays, nor to kneel down when he went to court. His power was almost as much as that of the emperor.
But even so, there is no one who brings weapons to court. This is regarded as the crime of regicide.
But today, he came with a sword, how arrogant.
When all the courtiers saw it, their eyes shrank and they didn't dare to speak. Only an old man in his seventies glanced sideways at him and said: "General Murong is so majestic. You just said that a palace master died below. Just say that some people want to rebel, but what do you mean by bringing a sword to the court today? Do you want to threaten His Majesty with a sword? "
"Prime Minister Wang, I am a rough man. Don't use your literati style to label me randomly."
Smiling and curling his lips, Murong Shan did not look at him, but took off the long sword from his waist, held it up with both hands, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have led troops all my life and fought on the battlefield, and my sword never left my body. If your Majesty feels that If there is anything wrong with the old minister leading troops to the palace today, please use your long sword to chop off my head as a warning to others."
Hiss!
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers couldn't help but gasped.
"Murong Shan, you are so brave, aren't you trying to force me to have a baby?"
With the millions of elite soldiers from the northwest in your hands, who would dare to kill you? The emperor didn't dare either.
"Otherwise, if millions of elite soldiers rebel, the empire will be destroyed directly. You know this and still feel confident. If you do this, aren't you bullying His Majesty?
Everyone knows this in their hearts, but they dare not say it.
The emperor's eyes shivered, and he suppressed the anger in his heart. He waved his hands indifferently and said with a smile: "Ai Qing said something serious. Ai Qing is a veteran of three dynasties and has made great achievements. How can I punish Ai Qing for this trivial matter?" , How is this different from a faint king? Hahaha let's do it, I will love you and lead the troops to the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nodding lightly, Murong Shan looked at Prime Minister Wang provocatively.
Prime Minister Wang remained silent and ignored him.
Murong Shan gave an evil laugh, clasped his fists towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Situ was being killed in the area under his jurisdiction. This matter is really strange. Please allow me to send someone to find out the truth. Please don't let a pillar of the imperial court die unjustly." "
"Your Majesty, Situ Zheng's deputy is responsible for this matter. Deputy General He will report it personally. He was raped by the night demon.The fact is very clear that he was killed by the demon lord of Linlin. I think there is no need for General Murong to create complications. "
As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Wang immediately stood up and said.
His face couldn't help but darken, and Murong Shan suddenly became furious: "Things have arisen? Those who dare to die in love are not your people, are they?"
"No matter whose person died, this matter ends here. Don't forget, according to Lieutenant General He's description, the demon lord is a legendary humanoid monster. If you mess with such a terrifying existence, the entire empire will be in turmoil. , it¡¯s better to settle down and settle down!¡±
"Human-shaped monsters? That's just a legend. Who in the world has seen a human-shaped monster? Then Lieutenant General He is of low strength, and it's understandable that he was deceived. I think those human-shaped monsters are just people pretending to be gods. In the entire Huai'an Mansion, there is only one group of ineffective monsters in the Night Monster Forest, led by two little monsters, who were killed casually. How can there be any humanoid monster masters?"
"Hey, they have turned into two little monsters now? When Situ Zheng was asking for military funds from the Ministry of War, he said that the monster king in the forest was so fierce that he could not be killed after years of encirclement and suppression. He was endangering the stability of the local area. Now he can kill him casually. Already? Hum!"
Prime Minister Wang sneered with a cold smile.
Murong Shan¡¯s face twitched and he clenched his fists in anger.
In fact, no one in the entire court knows that every palace in the empire has some bandits or monsters that cannot be exterminated or killed, and they need to be encircled and exterminated year after year.
The reason is to ask for money from above.
It can be said that these bandits and monsters are all raised by the local palace lord and deliberately do not exterminate them. If anyone takes the initiative to exterminate them, the local palace lord will be in a hurry.
This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows very well, even the emperor knows it in his heart.
¡°It¡¯s just like today, it¡¯s the first time to bring it to the court.
Glancing at the two of them, the emperor smiled, waved his hands and said: "Okay, you two dears, there is no need to argue. I think so, since General Murong thinks there is something fishy here, then I will send someone down to take a look. . Come here, let the inner palace walk, and Xue Pan goes to Huai'an Mansion for a visit!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch next to him listened, nodded slightly, and went to deliver the order.
Prime Minister Wang and Murong Shan glared at each other, bowed to the emperor, and then withdrew.
After the next court session, Murong Shan returned to the hall of the palace, slapped the table angrily, and immediately shattered the marble table next to him, and cursed: "Send any eunuch to investigate this matter, it's obvious that You are perfunctory, huh!"
"The emperor has the emperor's thoughts, so the head of the family does not need to be angry."
On the right side of the hall, there was a fire. An old man with pale hair was warming himself by the fire. Even though it was the dog days of summer, he was still feeling chilly all over his body. He murmured: "The head of the family has seen the families of various aristocratic families in Huai'an." A joint letter? I heard that the relationship between Palace Master Situ and various aristocratic families was not very good. As a result, after he died, various aristocratic families actually jointly requested credit for him. This is tantamount to telling the world that this matter has something to do with them."
"Humph, there is no three hundred taels of silver here. These idiots, I haven't found them yet, they jumped out first." Murong Shan smiled coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The old man didn't look at him, just shook his head leisurely and said: "No, this is a clever move. It seems that he is a bachelor and puts the suspicion on his head, but in fact he is secretly in conflict with the court. A conspiracy." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
