The atmosphere of this morning's court meeting was a little dignified, even the small officials who had a low official position on weekdays and came to go through the motions every time they felt the strangeness of the court, standing behind the ministers' team and trembling, and they didn't dare to come out.

Emperor Xiao Tianci sat on the dragon chair, looking extremely majestic, but his face was a little ugly.

The events of the past few days have made him really not in a very good mood.

Prime Minister Yan Jilong was killed, which 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, as the emperor, be indifferent.

But after Yan Jilong died, he found that everything was not as simple as he thought, and a large number of government officials pressed on him, making him a little breathless.

Then, there was a shocking battle in front of Lingyun Commercial Bank, and the houses within a radius of several miles were destroyed, with countless casualties, but he was still powerless to take care of it.

The strength of the warring sides was too strong, he could only choose to ignore it again, and he didn't even send anyone to investigate at that time, which made him feel for the first time that the emperor didn't seem to be so easy to sit on.

If these two things are within his acceptability, then what has happened in the past two days cannot be tolerated.

The first thing was that all twenty generals of the forbidden army were killed within two days, and the second thing was that the border town of Broken Blade was breached by the enemy.

"Shen Yun, have you made any progress in the case of the murder of the general of the forbidden army?" Xiao Tianci asked in a voice mixed with a hint of anger.

Shen Yun, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a member of the Sipin, is in charge of the court's criminal prison case, and is also the official in charge of the murder of the forbidden army.

The generals of the forbidden army were all killed, which made Xiao Tianci angry and at the same time, there was also a trace of fear in his heart.

These generals are not only the five-rank generals of the imperial court, but also their own cronies, but some people have no scruples to kill them in Los Angeles.

If it was only one or two, then he could understand it, but these are a full twenty generals of the forbidden army!

He wouldn't believe it if he was killed, it wasn't for him.

Facing Xiao Tianci, who was a little out of control, Shen Yun was not afraid at all, he was an official of the imperial court, but he was also a side disciple of the Shen family of the three major families, as long as he didn't make a big mistake, Xiao Tianci didn't dare to easily condemn himself.

Shen Yun walked out of the crowd, arched his hand to Xiao Tianci, who was sitting on a high seat, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has found out that the murderer who assassinated the twenty generals of the forbidden army is the killer of the assassin guild, and someone has issued a task in the assassin guild to assassinate the generals of the forbidden army, and the head of each general of the forbidden army is worth 50,000 spirit crystals. ”

"What, someone actually issued a mission to assassinate the imperial court general in the Assassins' Guild, who is so bold!"

"No matter who it is, the identity must not be simple, 50,000 spirit crystals per person, twenty is 1 million spirit crystals, this is simply a sky-high price!"

"Yes, I really can't think of anyone in Los Angeles who has such a big deal and spends so many spirit crystals to kill a few generals, what a hatred this is!"

As soon as Shen Yun's words came 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 face became even more ugly, if what Shen Yun said was true, then there was really no way to investigate this matter.

The Assassins' Guild had a special status, and even he, the emperor, would not dare to provoke, 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, and after answering Xiao Tianci's question, he directly returned to the courtiers' queue.

Xiao Tianci, who was in a bad mood, didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Yun's rudeness, but thought about who to let fill the vacancy of the forbidden army general.

Seeing Xiao Tianci's appearance, the three Xiao Wuya brothers moved their minds, this is a great opportunity to arrange their own people in the forbidden army!

The three of them were about to speak, but someone spoke before 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 affairs of the western border, Broken Blade City has been attacked by the Xianglong Kingdom, we must be fully prepared, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a big disaster!"

Although Zhai Linfeng, the new generalissimo of the kingdom's soldiers and horses, also knew that Xiao Tianci was in a bad mood, the situation on the border was too dangerous, and he could only stand up.

Sure enough, hearing Zhai Linfeng's words, Xiao Tianci's face was about to be gloomy.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, relieved the depression in his heart, swept the ministers above the court with a shocking cold light, and asked in a cold voice: "Li Jun, as a squire of the military department, there is a crisis in Broken Blade City, why did you conceal it at the beginning, and why hasn't the military department sent troops to rescue it until now?"

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, and this group of people actually deceived him, and no news reached his ears.

It wasn't until half a month ago, when he completely stabilized the situation in the imperial court, that the Ministry of War brought the news to him, and he was greatly surprised at that time.

The importance of the status of Broken Blade City, he naturally knew better than anyone else, and hurriedly asked the military department to draw up a rescue plan, but half a month passed, and the military department did not come up with any plan at all.

Li Jun hurriedly walked out of the courtiers, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! It's not that Weichen deceived and didn't report it! It was really Yan Jilong's treacherous minister who pressed each other with his official position and forcibly withheld Weichen's performance. ”

Yes, this soldier directly put all the responsibility on Yan Jilong, who was already dead, and this time there was no proof of death.

Xiao Tianci's face turned black with anger, and he roared angrily: "Someone, Li Jun, the squire of the military department, has neglected his duties and put me in a prison to be dealt with." ”

Li Jun's background is not very deep, so he was innocent and was used as a punching bag by Xiao Tianci.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"

Li Jun wailed with snot and tears, but Xiao Tianci ignored him and directly dragged him out.

Disposed of an official and played a majestic role, Xiao Tianci's heart also felt a lot better, and said to the officials below: "I don't know what good plan you Aiqing has, you can retake Broken Blade City?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court were silent, obviously not wanting to answer.

However, it is okay if others do not answer, as Xiao Tianci's cronies, the current generalissimo Zhai Linfeng cannot be silent.

He had to stand up helplessly again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for today's plan, the only way to seek peace is the best policy!"

Since ancient times, seeking peace has been something that can only be done by the weak party, and it is usually a strategy often made by Wenchen, but today, the word peace came out of the mouth of the dignified generalissimo, which made Xiao Tianci extremely disappointed.

He just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but he didn't expect the ministers in the court to suddenly speak.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the generalissimo said is very true, and there is only one way to seek peace at the moment!"

"Your Majesty, now that the Xianglong Kingdom is in full swing, we should avoid its edge!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Broken Blade City is lost, I have no troops available in Da Zhou, I must not start the battle lightly, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Countless voices of peace sounded in the court, making Xiao Tianci feel a burst of despair, why are the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty so cowardly?

"Report, Broken Blade City is urgent, the Xianglong Kingdom requests to negotiate peace with my Great Zhou!

At this moment, the sharp voice of a eunuch resounded throughout the court, making countless courtiers dumbfounded.
