Chapter 284: Qingjun's side
Accompanied by Greenland and Shuangyi, Chen Feng successfully arrived at the Monty Palace.
At the door, Lord Days was waiting.
"Lord Chen Feng, I haven't seen him for a year, but he is still in good spirits, and he seems to be living a very chic life!"
"That's not it, exotic beauties are like clouds, I'm a little happy. ”
Chen Feng quipped.
Greenland coughed lightly twice, interrupting the conversation between the two, "It's noon, and it's already past the time for the pilgrimage, I don't know what the intentions of the princes are in front of the palace? ”
"Commander Greenland, we are naturally worried about the country. The other lord replied.
"Oh, it's the duty of the Knights to defend the country, I don't know what you mean, lords?"
"On the side of the Qing Emperor, Emperor Leah has traitors and villains hidden around him, scourge the ancestral code, secretly hide tens of billions of gold coins, and collude with foreign races, shouldn't he be killed as a traitor who sells his master for glory?"
"What are you talking nonsense? Emperor Leah Shengming, how can there be traitors and villains around him? Spreading rumors and causing trouble is also a serious crime, please be cautious in your words and deeds!"
Greenland held his sword and came to the king's face.
After a scolding, he was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back.
"Commander Greenland, everyone is a prince, why bother to threaten with cruel words? You are not the only one who knows the specific content of the new law. ”
Lord Deis stepped forward and took out a stack of secret letters, "Not to mention the agreed five million catties of grain, Prince Chen Feng has not fulfilled his promise, I have a record of what he did in the Snow Moon Empire this year, and I will present it to Emperor Leah for review later." ”
"Then please, come with me to see Emperor Leah. ”
Chen Feng made a "please" gesture and motioned for King Days to go first.
"Just go, am I still afraid that you won't succeed?" King Daiss took the first step, followed by a hundred princes.
The maid hurriedly came to tell her that it was King Dyce who had come to see her.
"Uncle Dyce, come back every three days, I'm about to be annoyed by him, just say I'm taking a nap, let them all go back, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." ”
Leah took off her robe and lay down on the bed.
During these days, Deis, together with other princes, demanded that she remove Chen Feng from his official title, revoke his title, and impose a felony on her.
The Order of the Lord, which exempts one death penalty, was added temporarily by the Pope and was not removed by Monti's new law.
This means that even Emperor Leah cannot pronounce Chen Feng to death.
Therefore, the prince of Days suggested that Chen Feng's tattoo be sent to Grenfell, and he would not be allowed to return to the Monty Royal City for the rest of his life, which would be more relieving than letting him die.
Not only Daice, but other princes also followed, they took the prince of Daiss as the leader, and even organized demonstrations and protests in the city many times, openly slandering Chen Feng's reputation in front of tens of millions of civilians in the city.
The scrolls in front of Leah, piled higher than the hills, were all folds demanding the punishment of Chen Feng.
The one hundred and twenty princes outside all flowed with the same blood as Monty, and some of them were even Leah's elders, all of whom were relatives of her uncles, and she couldn't be as resolute and simple as Chen Feng.
So, I can only hide and disappear.
No matter how arrogant the princes are, they don't dare to rush to the dormitory.
"Listening to the guards of the main hall, it seems that Prince Chen Feng has returned to the palace. ”
"Is Chen Feng back?"
Hearing Chen Feng's name, Leah was like meeting a savior, only he could solve the current crisis.
"Bring me my robe, help me loosen my clothes, I will go to the Golden Palace, and meet those old princes in person. ”
Leah changed into a graceful and luxurious robe, surrounded by maids, and hurried to the main hall.
"I've seen Leah the Great!"
As soon as Leah sat down, Lord Days took a step forward, bowed, and said, "The minister has something to say!"
"Tell me, when has your old man ever been so polite to your niece?"
"You are a king, I am a minister, there should be etiquette, there is still to be it. ”
Prince Daiss pointed at Chen Feng, turned his head and said: "Since Prince Chen Feng has returned, let's talk about the unfinished agreement, a year ago, Prince Chen Feng said that he would carry out overseas trade and angrily smashed 20 billion gold coins, but now he has achieved nothing and has become the laughing stock of the Monty Empire."
At that time, the old minister had united with other princes to oppose it, and Chen Feng Wang Jue packed the ticket, saying that he would gather five million catties of grain within a year, and if he couldn't complete it, he would cut off his head and hang it at the city gate. ”
Lord Days came to Chen Feng.
"Lord Chen Feng, you won't forget what the old minister just said. ”
"No, how can you forget what is at stake?" Chen Feng waved his hand.
"May I ask Wang Jue Chen Feng, where are the five million catties of grain now?"
"The sea route is difficult, it is still in transit, and it will take a few days to reach the Monty Empire. ”
Chen Feng touched the tip of his nose and continued: "There are still five days left before the original agreed date? ”
"I'm afraid I haven't even got half of the food. Lord Days snorted coldly.
In the knights of the warship formation, there are spies sent by Dyce.
The information they got from him showed that Chen Feng and Shuang Yi only brought back 1.2 million catties of grain this time, far less than 5 million catties, and it was impossible to get so much grain in a short period of time.
At this point in time, although the Monty Empire is the time of the spring harvest, the Snow Moon Empire is ushering in a long winter, and the food in the market is very short, and the food stored in the homes of civilians is only enough to barely survive the winter.
In addition, the Beihai embankment burst, the flood disaster swept one-third of the country's land, and the surplus grain of all the grain stores was requisitioned for disaster relief, so it was impossible for Chen Feng to buy grain on a large scale.
In the territory of the Monty Empire, the Sea Patrol Division and the port of Whale Fall Island are full of Deis's spies, and the seventy-five warships of the warship formation are all moored on the shore, and no ships have gone to sea to carry out ocean-going missions.
"The highly secret mission carried out by the Patrol Division, even the port is not open to the public, how much grain is stored in my ship's cabin? How do you know about Lord Dais? Could it be that you have placed an undercover agent in my Patrol Division?"
"Heh, this kind of despicable thing, the old minister disdains, when Prince Chen Feng said this, he couldn't help but look down on the arrogant character of the hereditary nobles. Lord Days denied it.
"Then wait, five days later, and then make good on the promise. ”
"Okay, I won't talk about this matter for the time being, why don't you wait for five days? You can't conjure up five million catties of grain out of thin air! Of course, if you want to draw grain from the state treasury to replenish the amount, then you should be an old minister blind. ”
"Lord Dais, you are too presumptuous, the large-scale transfer of surplus grain from the treasury needs to be approved by both Emperor Leah and me, do you say this, do you trust Emperor Leah, or do you not trust me?"
Greenland retorted.
"Commander, don't get too excited, how much grain does Chen Feng have in Wang Juetun? I think you should already have a number in your heart. ”
The corners of Prince Dais's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled proudly: "One less grain of rice, please personally behead Prince Chen Feng and hang his head at the mouth of the city."
If they want to shield him, then the old minister guarantees that there will inevitably be a mutiny in the city of Monty, and millions of subjects will use this way to express their dissatisfaction, and the knights outside the fortress will send troops to the royal city to ask for an explanation. ”
"That's enough, I'll discuss the agreed matter in five days. ”
Leah stepped forward and stopped the two, if they didn't stop it, maybe they would meet each other in the Caijin Palace.
