Chapter 749: The Big Picture Matters

The entire palace was in a highly depressing atmosphere, everyone did not dare to speak loudly, even in the palace that was extremely far away from the Prayer Palace, no one dared to talk about the news they had heard before, and everyone was trembling, for fear that if they said or did something wrong, they would be affected.

In the New Year's Palace, the overall atmosphere was far more tense and depressing than that of other palaces in the palace, the eunuchs and palace ladies all stood with their heads bowed and their hands down, listening to the movements in the study with highly nervous expressions, the guards holding swords in their hands were engrossed in the surrounding environment, and the captain of the guard team walked back and forth in the palace with steady steps to check for omissions.

As long as there is a major event that may anger His Majesty, the Prayer Palace will become a life and death area full of thunder, and no one knows if he will be alive in the next second.

Inside the study, the fragrance is pleasant and refreshing, and the atmosphere in the study does not seem to be as lifeless and full of danger as the outside world thinks.

"Qian Shuli's old boy was about to be scared to death, so he lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up, he kowtowed there vigorously, I couldn't talk well, I just didn't get up, just like a leper dog, hahahaha!"

The person who spoke with laughter was the Shang Emperor, who was speculated to be angry, and at this time his tone was relaxed, and he spoke with laughter, not at all like he was angry.

"That's because they don't know Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom, as long as they are loyal and have a clear conscience, Your Majesty will naturally not impose charges on them. But if they dare to hide it from Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely not spare them. Another voice came out with a little flattery, and the voice was not unfamiliar, it was Qin Song, one of Emperor Shang's right-hand men.

Turning his gaze to the study, Emperor Shang sat cross-legged on the couch, there were some melons and fruits on the table in front of him, and there were still peeled and cored residues in front of Emperor Shang, Emperor Shang pinched a tooth of fruit in his hand, and looked at Qin Song sitting in front of him with a smile.

Qin Song was not the only official in the study, beside him, there were two big people, it was Zhu Qingshen, the leader of the Tiger Guard, and Nie Jinglong, the leader of the Eagle Guard.

Qin Song smiled and talked with Emperor Shang and laughed, while Zhu Qingshen and Nie Jinglong next to him were not in such a relaxed mood, the two of them sat on the chair, holding some fruits in their hands, but they didn't have any intention of tasting them, they listened to the conversation between His Majesty and the Right Prime Minister with a worried smile on their faces, laughing from time to time, and their performance was no different from that of a local petty official who had just entered the capital.

In the past, they would not have been so nervous, but a big thing happened today, and if you don't deal with it well, you may lose Your Majesty's favor, and if your Majesty is moved by a minister who doesn't like him, and he will attack him, maybe even his head may be moved.

Under this kind of pressure, even if they are intelligence leaders, Zhu Qingshen and Nie Jinglong will inevitably be nervous and panicked.

Emperor Shang and Qin Song, the right minister, were talking and laughing, and one inadvertently swept over the faces of Zhu Qingshen and Nie Jinglong, and saw that the two of them straightened their backs and sat up straight, and the melons and fruits in their hands did not move, so they couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.

"Why are you two so nervous? Didn't you all say that you didn't do this, so why are you still nervous?" Emperor Shang had a shallow smile on his face, and it was this kind of smile that was the most incomprehensible.

Zhu Qingshen took a step ahead, quickly got up from the chair, bowed deeply to Emperor Shang, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister Zhu Qingshen is loyal to His Majesty and has no intention of rebellion, but I am afraid that some people will try to deceive Your Majesty and provoke Your Majesty's trust in the minister, so the minister is so nervous!"

Nie Jinglong saw that Zhu Qingshen was faster than himself, he scolded Zhu Qingshen in his heart for being despicable and shameless, and immediately got up from his seat and bowed deeply to His Majesty, which was deeper than Zhu Qingshen's bow.

Emperor Shang glanced at Nie Jinglong with a smile, and said to Zhu Qingshen: "The 'certain people' you are talking about, is it the person next to you?"

Qin Song, who was sitting between the two, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and quickly got up from his chair, and before he could speak, he heard Emperor Shang scold angrily.

"I didn't say anything about you, you follow what kind of fun, sit down!"

Qin Song sat back in his chair with a smile, watching the two intelligence leaders beside him look more nervous than the other, and couldn't help but shake his head. As he said before, if he has a clear conscience, His Majesty will naturally not punish him. This sounds more like a sycophant, but in fact, what Qin Song said was sincere, but it was a pity that the two guys around him must have misunderstood that they were slapping on the back, and they didn't take their words to heart.

When the news of the prisoner robbery reached Chaoge City, the nervous Zhu Qingshen and Nie Jinglong felt the palace for the first time, just worried that His Majesty would suspect that he had done this, and at the same time, he was also guarding against the other party framing him.

And Qin Song was for the stability of the court situation before the war, and after he got out of the court, he heard the news and rushed back to the palace from the palace to appease the suspicious majesty, and at the same time to help these two intelligence leaders.

The previous words were for His Majesty, and they were also for Zhu Qingshen and Nie Jinglong, so that they could relax their hearts and let them not be too nervous. It's a pity that these two guys care about it, and they panic when it comes to their own safety, and they don't understand his hints at all, they will only show their loyalty dryly, and they have completely lost their wisdom and cleverness in the past.

Emperor Shang glared at Qin Song, who was gagging, and also understood his thoughts, and there was infinite emotion in his heart that he couldn't speak, and finally turned into a love for Qin Song.

"Okay, I understand your loyalty, I don't need to say anything, I will only repeat the same sentence when I say it, but I can't get a single evidence, I get tired of listening to it!" Emperor Shang knocked on the two intelligence leaders under him, and at the same time made an exception and sold Qin Song some face, but I don't know if this exception will have a bad impact.

When Zhu Qingshen and Nie Jinglong heard Emperor Shang's words, they slowly straightened their waists, and there was no sweat on their foreheads, but their backs were wet with cold sweat.

"On weekdays, I don't want to ask more about your mutual grudges, that's your own business, whoever has the ability to solve it. But now it's different, the situation is changing, I don't want the contradictions between you to affect the major affairs of the DPRK and China, do you all understand?" Emperor Shang knocked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands!" Nie Jinglong took the lead this time, and hurriedly bowed his head in agreement.

After Zhu Qingshen also expressed his position, Emperor Shang waved his hand, impatiently leaving these two guys here to accompany him, so he blew them all away.
