The emperor frowned, and was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Since this is the case, the prime minister will say it." The Emperor looked unhappy, and his face was gloomy.

Huang Guozhong could obviously see the emperor's face, but he didn't seem to see it, and after bowing down to thank him, he began to say: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, it is really inappropriate to let Xiao Zhang recruit the Heaven and Earth Gang in his own name. ”

The emperor closed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Guozhong continued: "Xiao Zhang recruited the Tiandi Gang in his own name, it is very likely that he has selfish desires, you know, the Tiandi Gang is not an ordinary small gang, but the largest gang in the south with tens of thousands of people. Now that the original disciples of Xuanyuan Sect have joined, I am afraid that the gang has approached 100,000 people! Such a huge force, if it is used to the fullest, it will be very terrifying! ”

The emperor's face stretched slightly, presumably because Huang Guozhong had said that he was in his mind, but then he sank down again, probably worried about Huang Guozhong's opinion.

Huang Guozhong is an old fox, of course he can see through the emperor's thoughts, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Besides, let such a huge and notorious underground gang come to the table, and occupy the foundation of Xuanyuan Gate for hundreds of years, Xiao Zhang is really inappropriate to do this, it is simply to trap my court in chaos, to the point of injustice and injustice!" ”

The emperor's face twitched suddenly, then nodded slightly, looked at Xiao Zhang, and asked, "Xiao Zhang, how do you explain?" ”

Xiao Zhang didn't answer the emperor's words, but looked at Huang Guozhong and asked, "Then in the prime minister's opinion, how should we deal with the Heaven and Earth Gang?" ”

Huang Guozhong sneered and said: "For such a notorious underground evil force, of course, it will be annihilated in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles!" ”

"Hehehehe......" Xiao Zhang laughed, "The Prime Minister doesn't know, the Heaven and Earth Gang is the largest gang in the south, and it can also be said to be the largest gang in the mainland, its power is all over the southern continent, and even the northern continent is also distributed, and the energy it contains is absolutely not to be underestimated." It is not alarmist to use violence to exterminate the continent, which may trigger a backlash and, at worst, paralyze the entire southern continent. ”

Huang Guozhong did not object, but smiled slightly: "Even if you want to recruit an to recover, it should not be in your private name, but in the name of the imperial court." You have not been invited, and you have privately enveloped the Heaven and Earth Gang, you have this kind of mind, I'm afraid fools can see it! ”

Although Huang Guozhong did say what Xiao Zhang wanted, Xiao Zhang could never admit it, but wanted to put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture to serve the empire: "The prime minister should know that the imperial court has been trying to exterminate the Heaven and Earth Gang for many years, so even if the court shows sincerity to recruit peace, the Heaven and Earth Gang may inevitably have a lot of resistance to the court in their hearts, and it is not easy to recruit peace since ancient times, because of this." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhang turned to look at the emperor and said: "Therefore, the minister acts as the link between the imperial court and the Heaven and Earth Gang, although the minister cannot fully represent the imperial court, it can alleviate the antagonism that has accumulated between the two for many years. ”

The Emperor remained silent, only nodded slightly.

Huang Guozhong suddenly laughed and said, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, I heard that you have a pair of iron teeth and copper teeth, and today you can be regarded as a teacher." ”

Xiao Zhang also smiled: "The minister's iron teeth and copper teeth are to deal with the prime minister's biting fangs." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Guozhong was suddenly furious: "Xiao Zhang, what do you mean? How dare you insult the ministers of the DPRK and China in public! Your Majesty, Xiao Zhang's control of the Heaven and Earth Gang is absolutely selfish, and he should be executed on the spot immediately! ”

Xiao Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to Huang Guozhong's mad dog, but said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in order to prove that the minister has no selfish intentions, the minister is willing to dedicate the token of the Heaven and Earth Gang to the imperial court, and with this token, the Heaven and Earth Gang will unconditionally obey the control of the imperial court." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhang took out the plush doll wolf, and the eunuch Wei Zhong immediately walked over to take the plush wolf and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took the stuffed wolf in his hand, observed it carefully for a long time, and then looked at Xiao Zhang, obviously waiting for Xiao Zhang's explanation.

Xiao Zhang immediately explained: "The Heaven and Earth Gang believes in the wolf god, so they use the wolf as a totem, and this thing is a deformed wolf, which is the token given to them by the wolf god that the Heaven and Earth Gang thinks." As long as this thing is in hand, no matter who it is, you can order all the people of Heaven and Earth to help everyone. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and there was no different color in his expression, indicating that the emperor believed Xiao Zhang's words.

Xiao Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next scene surprised him, only to see the emperor throw it casually, and threw the plush wolf to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang caught the stuffed wolf, looked at the emperor in surprise, and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty means?" ”

The emperor sneered and said, "The dignified Imperial Court of the Great Yan Empire, are you still afraid of these bandits?" As I have just said, the affairs of Xuanyuan Gate will be handed over to Xiao Zhang from now on, and this Heaven and Earth Gang will naturally be in charge of Xiao Zhang. ”

After understanding what the emperor meant, Xiao Zhang could really breathe a sigh of relief, but Huang Guozhong was so depressed that he finally caught Xiao Zhang's handle and made a big fuss, but the emperor didn't want to pay attention to this stubble at all. Despite this, Huang Guozhong could only give up for the time being, and sat back in his seat with a black face.

The two rounds of turmoil had passed, and Xiao Zhang thought that he could eat quietly now, but unexpectedly, the silence did not last long, and the prince stood up again.

Xiao Zhang knew that the prince was definitely not holding back his urine, so he was mentally prepared to continue fighting.

Sure enough, the prince didn't say anything long-winded, and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the minister still wants to accuse Xiao Zhang." ”

The emperor was not in a good mood originally, but when he saw the prince at this moment, he was suddenly in a bad mood, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zheng, today is a banquet, not a court, if you have something to do, let's play it again in the court tomorrow." ”

The prince did not sit down, nor did he speak, but expressed his insistence in silence.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor waved his hand helplessly: "I don't know how Xiao Zhang offended you, all of them targeted Xiao Zhang, do you know that if it weren't for Xiao Zhang, it would be impossible to quell the Xuanyuanmen rebellion and recruit the Tiandi Gang." ”

All the ministers immediately nodded their heads in agreement with the emperor's statement, but Huang Guozhong sneered. Although the crown prince was expressionless, it was obvious that he naturally disapproved of the emperor's words.

"Zhao Zheng, if you have something to say, just say it." The Emperor sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The crown prince immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Your Majesty just mentioned that Xiao Zhang introduced a family affair for the thirteen princes, and the woman was still from the Houyi clan. However, does Your Majesty know that the previous identity of the Houyi woman was the largest green building in Xuanyuan City, the Oiran of the Jade Building. With such a lowly prostitute status, if he marries into the royal family, it will be the biggest joke in the world! ”
