"Bye don't bend over? Damn it! Emperor Dingwu seemed expressionless, but he said secretly in his heart.

He is indeed pitiful, for so many years, he can be said to have suffered too much anger on the likes of Shangqing Mountain, and he has long hated them.

Therefore, when I heard that Mei Qingfeng's personal disciple, the law enforcement elder of Shangqing Mountain, was corrected by Mo Bai on the spot because he worshiped the prince and did not bend down, not only was he not angry, but he appreciated it very much, and he only felt that his heart was happy!

"Your Majesty, this Zhuo Yunfeng is the representative of Shangqingshan who entered Beijing in advance to prepare for the negotiations, and now he was openly beheaded by His Royal Highness, and was sent to the Shangqingshan station to coerce Mei Yunqing to bear the guilt of Jing Plea, this matter has too much impact, and has led to a lot of discussions, and representatives of all parties have jointly protested on this matter, asking us to give an explanation immediately." Zhang Bangli didn't know what His Majesty was thinking at this time, but his expression was grim.

Emperor Dingwu considered the practical problems, and his expression couldn't help but deepen, but he said, "Do you want me to explain?" Explain what? That rebel son was imprisoned in the mansion by me, and these fools who didn't know whether to live or die came to the door to provoke him, sent them to the door to find death, and I had to give an explanation. Now that stealing chickens can't make rice, and let me give an explanation, can I really be bullied? ”

Zhang Bangli smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your Majesty, on the bright side, the Lin family and Shangqing Mountain went to the mansion of the Six Princes, and it is still a legitimate name. One went to visit his uncle, and the other went to visit his disciples, both of which were reasonable things. ”

"In that case, then tell them that this is a personal feud between them, and let them settle it themselves!" Dingwu said coldly.

When Zhang Bangli heard this, he became more and more helpless: "But now Zhuo Yunfeng has been killed by His Royal Highness, and he went to be a guest, as an elder of the division, but if he was killed, they will only say that His Highness killed the early representative who participated in the negotiations." In the few words before Chu Ruocai left, he had clearly defined Zhuo Yunfeng's identity, he deliberately created panic, and now the representatives of all parties who have entered Beijing have reacted strongly, and jointly handed a letter to the country, asking the country to give an explanation, otherwise they will leave Beijing collectively on the grounds of security issues. The responsibility for creating incidents and breaking down joint negotiations will be borne by the DPRK! ”

Emperor Dingwu's face was already as cold as ice, extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "What a big hat, is this threatening me?" ”

Zhang Bang said in his heart, isn't it a threat?

He bowed down and continued: "Now the joint anti-barbarian matter has attracted the attention of the world. Originally, the negotiation was initiated by the forest thieves first, and we lost the opportunity in the hearts of the people, and once the negotiations were destroyed, the people would inevitably be in an uproar, and the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Emperor Dingwu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, of course he knew that the current dynasty could not afford to bear this hat.

In the past, if he lost on the battlefield, he could still put the blame on the forest thief and others, after all, the foreign enemy invaded, and the forest thief's action on the battlefield was too small.

But now that the forest thief has taken the initiative to negotiate and want to jointly send troops with the country and the dynasty to resist the barbarians, and the country and the dynasty refuse, then in the future, he must really fight against foreign enemies independently, and if there is a slight decline on the battlefield, it will only take a gust of wind, and the boiling public grievances will be borne by him.

However, after thinking about it, Emperor Dingwu snorted coldly again: "Leaving Beijing collectively and joining forces to resist the barbarians, did I ask them to come?" Want to scare me? Jokes, they will leave if they have the ability, if I really want to destroy the country, even if I only have the last breath left, I can let them be buried together! ”

Emperor Dingwu was not afraid, and his voice was cold!

Zhang Bangli knew that what His Majesty said was the truth, but he could only be angry!

If you are really willing to break the jar and break it, give up the 500-year-old Great Xia to foreign enemies, and become the faint king of the country that has been stinking for 10,000 years in the history books, then why should you be so forbearant and suffer so much.

In the final analysis, it was precisely because he was unwilling to lose that the forest thieves engaged in a coalition that he accepted it forbearantly.

Sure enough, Emperor Dingwu finally calmed down, knowing that this matter still had to be resolved, and said in a deep voice: "What do they want?" ”

Zhang Bangli said in a low voice: "I demand that the murderer be punished immediately and publicly to set an example!" ”

"Immediate and severe punishment?" Emperor Dingwu raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Bangli, and said without meaning in his mouth: "How to punish it severely?" Let me kill the emperor immediately and bow to them? ”

Zhang Bangli bowed lower, and hurriedly said: "According to His Majesty, this matter is just a reason, in addition to being really worried about his own safety, in fact, this is also the first confrontation between the dynasty and them before the negotiations officially open, and in the end, I still want to use this matter to make the dynasty make concessions in the subsequent negotiations!" ”

Zhang Bangli said it implicitly, but the meaning was clear.

Either the Ming king will be severely punished, or he will make concessions in the negotiations at the expense of national interests.

Emperor Dingwu didn't say anything more, he knew that Zhang Bangli didn't dare to make any suggestions for this decision, and he could only make this decision himself.

He put his hand on his forehead, only to feel that his head began to hurt badly again.

Finally, he closed his eyes, rubbed his temples and said, "Since that rebel has the ability to dare to cause trouble, he must have the ability to take responsibility." Let's go and ask the rebel what I should do with him. ”

Speaking of this, he opened his eyes again and said: "As you said, this is a temptation, if this time if they are easily forced to compromise, then in the next negotiations, they will be more inch-inch, this matter must be resolved, but it cannot be as they wanted, since they demand that the murderer be severely punished, then first investigate the facts of the case, and then convict according to law!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Bangli was slightly stunned, a little unsure of how to speak, and finally smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the delay will be too long, if they really resign and leave Beijing, it will be difficult to clean up at that time." And this matter is not over, His Royal Highness sent the corpse to Shangqing Mountain, and asked Mei Yunqing to personally take the blame before dark, which is very likely to cause a greater conflict. ”

Emperor Dingwu's head hurt more and more, and the pain made him feel angry in his heart, and it was difficult to control his emotions, so he waved his hand directly: "What can happen?" Whether Mei Yunqing goes to make amends or not is her business, why should I help her feel at ease? ”

"I'm afraid that if she doesn't go, His Highness won't stop!" Zhang Bangli said again.

Dingwu slapped on the table: "If he dares to go out of the house to commit murder, he is disobeying my will!" ”

This is not the first time, Zhang Bang said in his heart, but then his heart moved, and his face suddenly changed.

He realized that His Majesty's words were mysterious, if His Highness left the palace, it would be because His Highness resisted the decree and was punished, not because he was coerced by all parties......

Zhang Bangli couldn't help but be frightened, you hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Before leaving, I heard His Majesty's tired voice and instructed the courtier: "I am sick, please Liu Danshi to come here!" ”

………………

……

After Chu Ruocai left the Ming Palace, he went directly to the Shangqing Mountain Station, but he did not stay there all the time, and soon left the Shangqing Mountain Station on the grounds that he wanted to go back to inform the lord and discuss with the Southern Army to seek justice for Zhuo Yunfeng.

Now that the Southern Army has already become their backer, Shangqing Mountain naturally has no opinion on this, even if something happened to Zhuo Yunfeng, he still sent a few grandmasters by his side to continue to protect his safety.

However, Shangqingshan didn't know that the reason why Chu Ruocai didn't stay with them was because if he really stayed with them, he could only advance and retreat together.

Once things go wrong and the dynasty does not compromise in the end, then he will also represent the southern army and the dynasty head-on.

The first step is to leave room for retreat, lest Mei Yunqing be forced to go to the Ming Palace's Mansion to take the blame, he should not, should not be, and end up in an embarrassing situation.

Now he was in the garden that had been prepared in advance, and he and several strategists were closely watching the situation.

At this moment, after a subordinate came to report that Zhang Bangli left the palace and went straight to the Ming Palace, his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Did he bring troops, no?"

"No, but I brought several officials from the Criminal Department with me!" Subordinate Dao.

Chu Ruocai immediately frowned, nodded and said, "Explore again!" ”

"Yes!" The subordinates retreated.

There was a person beside him, who looked up at Chu Ruocai: "I didn't bring soldiers, but I brought the criminal department with me, what does this mean?" ”

"This is to investigate the case?" Before Chu Ruocai could speak, someone said: "Such a clear thing, the Ming Wangfu has already personally admitted it at the gate of Shangqing Mountain, how else can it be checked?" Could it be that Emperor Dingwu really dared to ignore the opinions of all parties and protect King Ming? ”

Chu Ruocai shook his head and affirmed: "He doesn't dare!" If he doesn't give an explanation of this matter, how can he prove his sincerity? Even security issues cannot be guaranteed, who of the giants of all parties dares to enter Beijing? It's normal not to lead troops, Emperor Dingwu is not an easy person, isn't it strange to pretend to make a gesture first? ”

"But what if he investigates for three years and five years?" Another asked in a deep groan.

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, what is the difference between this and clearly protecting King Ming.

Chu Ruocai also narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "He wants to, but no one will give him this convenience!" Let him go, this is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, before dark, if there is no answer to this matter, don't think about suppressing this matter again! King Ming killed someone, and let Mei Yunqing, the daughter of a real person, come to the door to bear the guilt, how domineering and arrogant, how can all parties sit back and watch such a situation happen, if you endure it this time, the subsequent negotiations, you don't want to compete with the dynasty again! ”

"Yes, it depends on how long Emperor Wu can last, he wants to suppress everyone, hmph, if everyone is really suppressed by him and dare not move, why bother to engage in joint negotiations? Didn't he send it to the door and take advantage of him? If so, who would go to the trouble of slapping him up? I don't believe it, he really dares to force everyone away! Someone nodded and sneered.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but suddenly one of them hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, after all, King Ming is the husband of the young lady, do we really want to sit back and watch him fall?" ”

Obviously, this is an old man in the Lin Mansion, and he still has thoughts about Lin Suyin's existence, so he hesitates to speak.
