Chapter 509: The Pilgrimage Begins

Seeing that the emperor spoke so resolutely, and the ministers were not stupid, and there was a saying that there was a relationship at any time since ancient times, then it was obvious that everyone understood that this Xiao Zhang must be a well-known relationship. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for the relationship between Xiao Zhang and the emperor, the thoughts in the hearts of the ministers should be varied, and it is estimated that the most likely one is the legendary illegitimate child.

Xiao Zhang probably didn't know that in the hearts of the ministers, he already had another "father", who was the number one person in the empire sitting on the dragon chair......

The crown prince and the second prince naturally thought the same way, so their expressions were rarely the same, they were all shocked and angry, and there were some "understandable" expressions, because, of course, they have done a lot of this kind of merciful thing.

After dealing with Xiao Zhang's affairs, the emperor sorted out his emotions and asked, "I have been out of the customs for an hour, how is the ceremony going?"

Prime Minister Huang Guozhong immediately responded: "The ceremony has been completed, and the elites of the various sects are waiting for His Majesty's meal on the Creation Square. ”

"Food?" the Emperor was slightly startled, "What time is it?"

Huang Guozhong suddenly said with some embarrassment: "It's been an hour past lunchtime......

"Oops!" The emperor suddenly looked annoyed, and even reached out and patted his head with some disregard for the image, "I am really a little confused, I have made all the elites hungry for an hour!"

The crown prince immediately spoke: "Father doesn't have to blame himself, nothing can compare to my father's cultivation affairs, what if they are starved for three days and three nights?"

The second prince also agreed: "The emperor's brother is reasonable, and the father's affairs are the most important things in the world." ”

As a result, the ministers immediately began to echo one after another, but in Xiao Zhang's eyes, these people groveled one by one, and their flattery was simply disgusting.

The emperor also seemed a little impatient with this, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't gossip." Wei Zhong, hurry up to spread my will to give food, and at the same time apologize appropriately for me to appease the emotions of the elites. ”

"The slave obeys!" Wei Zhong immediately took the order and left.

The emperor nodded, glanced at the ministers in the palace again, and then said: "Then, let's start today's court meeting, and I have to grieve all the Aiqing, and then have lunch after the court meeting is over." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked, and everyone obviously couldn't believe that His Majesty the Emperor actually let those sect elites eat first, but let these important ministers of the empire go hungry.

Looking at these ministers' faces, Xiao Zhang's heart blossomed with joy, and he couldn't help but be in awe of His Majesty the Emperor, this is the real compassion for the people, this is the real love for the people. Thinking of these, Xiao Zhang's instinctive rejection of the feudal emperor in his consciousness also diluted a lot.

Xiao Zhang smiled secretly, but thought of another thing in his heart, since the emperors are so wise, then his daughter should not be far behind, hehe......

The emperor sat up a little straighter, and even couldn't help but reach out and pinch his waist, the haggard look on his face became a little more teased, and then said: "Okay, the court meeting has begun, if you Aiqing have anything to play, just play it quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Huang Guozhong walk out of the train and played: "Your Majesty, the activities of various dark forces in Beijing have been greatly reduced recently, especially the activities of the Black Scorpion Society are almost extinct, and Huang Jun, the son of the minister, led the Praetorian Guard, which effectively suppressed the arrogance of the dark forces, maintained the stability of the situation in Beijing, and ensured the smooth holding of the ceremony for the elites of various sects to enter Beijing. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, but said with some dissatisfaction: "It's the words of peace in the world again, is it really peaceful in the world?"

"Uh......" Huang Guozhong was speechless for a moment, he suddenly felt that the emperor was different from the past today, and it seemed that he deliberately had some awkward intentions with the ministers.

At this time, the crown prince came out of the class and said: "Father Qi, three days ago, when the personal guards of the sons were searching for the demon owl in the capital, they were attacked by unknown killers, killing and injuring dozens of people. Erchen suspected that the Black Scorpion Club had done it, so Erchen appointed his second brother to lead the guards to search for him, but so far there has been no result. ”

The emperor's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "The prince's personal guards went to the streets to hunt down the Black Scorpion Society? What kind of system is this? This matter should be the duty of the Praetorian Guard, what are you following to fill in the mess?"

Although the emperor was a little displeased, the prince said a little unwillingly: "This matter is related to the lives of dozens of personal guards of Erchen, Erchen can't swallow this breath, and he will definitely arrest the killer with his own hands. ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor didn't say anything, Huang Guozhong was a little dissatisfied, and said with a cold smile: "I don't know what the prince means by this? Does it mean that the dignified Praetorian Guards are all wine bags and rice bags? According to the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, the soul capital is a precarious place?"

Of course, the crown prince will not show weakness, and immediately sneered: "Please don't misunderstand the meaning of this palace, this palace means that this is a private matter of my East Palace, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Huang Guozhong sneered, and was about to say something, but he heard His Majesty the Emperor say: "Okay, there is no need to argue. This matter was originally the duty of the Praetorian Guard, so it was handed over to the Praetorian Guard, and the prince did not have to make a big deal about this matter, delaying the study of governing the country. ”

The prince's face was pale, but he didn't dare to say anything, but Huang Guozhong had a smug smile on his face.

The Emperor continued to ask: "Do you have any reports about the Demon Owl? The Demon Owl has been raging in Beijing for half a year, killing dozens of officials in my capital, is it just so silent? I'm afraid it won't be so simple. ”

The crown prince played: "Father Qi, there is indeed no news of the demon lord recently, but it must not be taken lightly. ”

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and asked a little weakly, "After searching for so long, isn't there a little clue about the identity of the Demon Owl?"

Huang Guozhong played: "The minister thinks that the demon lord frequently kills my officials in Beijing by cruel means, then this person's purpose is obvious, obviously he wants to paralyze my imperial court. Therefore, the demon lord must have been an assassin sent by the Extreme Western Demon Dao, not a person who had betrayed the Demon Dao as rumored. Besides, the demon lord is so familiar with the officials in my capital, and the minister deduces that the demon lord may be lurking in my court, or he may be pretending to be an important official in the court. ”
