Mei Juzheng, the first assistant of the Xia cabinet, a scholar, it can be said that Mei Juzheng is in the court, is a role under one person and above ten thousand people, but at this time, Mei Juzheng is sitting in a sedan chair, thinking about the next dilemma to face in the court, last night there was an assassin in the palace, and the assassin wanted to commit murder against Yu Guifei, this matter, someone has already told Mei Shoufu, and Mei Juzheng also feels that the current emperor Xia Ling Emperor will definitely be troubled because of this matter.

"Eight Kings...... Except for the King of Qin, who is this......" Mei Juzheng said to himself unconsciously, he was convinced that this must be the assassination arranged by the King of Xia Guofeng, and the most likely murderer, Mei Juzheng suspected that he was the sworn enemy of Yu Shicheng, the king of Qin, Kong Shaoqing, the king of Zhao, who had been in constant disputes and constant wars, if he provoked the contradiction between the king of Qin and Emperor Xia Ling, then for Zhao Jing, it would definitely be an opportunity to defeat Qin Jing in one fell swoop.

"Hey!" Mei Juzheng sighed again, after all, these are just his own speculations, without evidence, Mei Juzheng can't convict King Zhao, not to mention, even if there is evidence, whether he can sanction King Zhao is also a question, although the Xia Kingdom is large, but the power is scattered, even Emperor Xia Ling is full of scruples and cannot centralize power on himself.

In Mei Juzheng Mei Shoufu pondered repeatedly, the sedan chair has come to the palace, Mei Juzheng was arrogant, and then walked towards the main hall, he straightened his chest, in the face of any problem, as the cabinet chief, Mei Juzheng also has to face bravely, he has never been a person who avoids problems, otherwise, Mei Juzheng University Scholar will not stand in the current position of the cabinet of the first assistant, this is a position that is fought out in conspiracy.

"Shousuke-sama, you've heard about last night's incident."

Just as Mei Juzheng was thinking, at this time a man with extraordinary bearing came over, this man's beard was also as carefully groomed as Mei Juzheng, but it looked a few years younger Mei Juzheng, after Mei Juzheng saw this man, he nodded, he was an official in the same dynasty and in the cabinet, this man was Xu Jie, a scholar trusted by Mei Juzheng.

"Is it King Zhao?" Xu Jie walked up to Mei Juzheng and said softly.

"Let's not talk nonsense, let's see what Your Majesty's reaction is in the court first, and then we will respond." Mei Juzheng waved his hand slightly, Mei Juzheng knew that this was not the time to act rashly.

Xu Jie also nodded, Mei Juzheng is also a teacher and friend to Xu Jie, Xu Jie respects Mei Juzheng and Mei Shoufu very much, and Mei Juzheng is very pleased with this.

The two came to the hall side by side, this is the hall has gathered a lot of civil and military ministers, everyone is talking to each other at this time, when everyone saw Mei Juzheng Mei Shoufu came, they all stopped communicating, above the hall, all eyes were focused on Mei Juzheng, Mei Juzheng is already very accustomed to this, he waved his hand at everyone, signaling everyone not to be restless.

"Lord Shoufu, you said that this incident ...... last night," said Sun Bo, the head of the Imperial Rite Department, when he walked up, unnaturally.

"This morning, Your Majesty will naturally explain this matter to those of us who are courtiers, so don't worry too much, you will lose if you talk too much." Mei Juzheng said softly, and Sun Bo, the head of the Ministry of Rites, nodded knowingly, and then stepped aside and said no more.

Mei Ju was standing at the head of the ministers, his hands hanging down and clasping together, bowing his head, patiently waiting for Emperor Xia Ling, thinking about matters related to this assassination incident in his heart, and thinking about how Emperor Xia Ling would attack next.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for a long time! I'm late! Hahaha! With a deep voice sounding, Mei Juzheng raised his head, only to see Emperor Xia Ling with a smile on his face, and slowly walked to the dragon chair that symbolized power, without any eunuch warning, this is really the style of Emperor Xia Ling.

"Long live the Five Emperors, long live, long live!" The ministers immediately knelt down and saluted, and Mei Juzheng also knelt down with everyone, but what he was thinking about was the next attack of Emperor Xia Ling, Mei Juzheng knew Emperor Xia Ling too well, and he knew that the more kind Emperor Xia Ling was, the more he prepared the will to make it difficult for the ministers to deal with.

"Zhu Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Tell me, tell me about my palace, is it safe?" Emperor Xia Ling said with a smile, and then a pair of eyes looked back and forth to the courtiers in the hall.

"Back to Your Majesty! The safe place in the world must belong to my Great Xia Palace! The person who replied looked white and clean, looked about thirty years old, and did not have a beard, Mei Juzheng looked at the person who spoke, and sneered contemptuously in his heart, the person who spoke was Ji Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, this person was a close confidant of Emperor Xia Ling, but Mei Juzheng had always looked down on this person, Mei Juzheng thought that this Ji Hua was a shameless villain who could only slap horses.

"The palace is the safest? Ha ha! Ji Aiqing, don't you know, just last night, I entered the most safe palace! Emperor Xia Ling said with a smile.

"What? The palace has entered the assassins? Who is so bold! He actually came to the palace to assassinate him! Ji Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was shocked and shouted loudly.

"Hey!" Mei Juzheng sneered lightly again, Emperor Xia Ling and Ji Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, sang and harmonized, Mei Juzheng felt that this move was very ridiculous, and what Emperor Xia Ling said next was not what Mei Juzheng expected.

"This assassin must have been hired by the king!" Emperor Xia Ling sneered, and the hall was suddenly silent, everyone didn't dare to be silent at this time, and they didn't know what medicine Emperor Xia Ling would buy next, except for one person, it must be Mei Juzheng.

"I still remember that on the occasion of this year's annual celebration, I gave each of the eight feudal kings a gorgeous dress, and as a result, you Aiqing, guess what?" Emperor Xia Ling continued to say with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what's next?" Ji Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, hurriedly asked, for fear of losing the opportunity.

"As a result, haha, these eight kings all told me that they can't wear the gorgeous clothes I have given, do you know why?" Emperor Xia Ling continued to say with a smile, he looked around at the ministers again, and after everyone found Emperor Xia Ling's gaze, they all hurriedly lowered their heads, only the cabinet chief assistant Mei Ju was an exception.

"Shousuke-sama must know why." Emperor Xia Ling smiled, looked at Mei Juzheng and said.

"I guess I can't put my hand in my sleeve." Mei Juzheng said softly, he looked at Emperor Xia Ling, what Emperor Xia Ling would say next, Mei Juzheng had already guessed.

"Why can't you put your hand up your sleeve?" At this time, even Fang Wenping, the head of the household department, couldn't help but interject.

"That's because, the kings, the fist (power) is too big." Emperor Xia Ling clenched his fists lightly, waved them slightly, and said coldly, and the middle courtiers in the palace trembled.

"The minister dares to ask the emperor not to talk about this matter for the time being, the palace assassin case, please submit it to the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Supervision Yuan to cooperate in the investigation!" Mei Juzheng suddenly knelt down and asked. However, it was not so much a request for instructions, but there was a feeling between the words that could not be ignored, which made Emperor Xia Ling frown unconsciously.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Xu Jie, a cabinet scholar, also knelt down and asked for instructions.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The voice of seconding the proposal came one after another in the main hall, Emperor Xia Ling looked at the courtiers in front of him, and stared at Mei Juzheng, and Mei Juzheng was calm, still kneeling there, staring at the ground of the hall without squinting, waiting for Emperor Xia Ling's will.

"That's it! Then do as Shousuke-sama says! Emperor Xia Ling said coldly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Mei Juzheng shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" All the ministers were exalted and agreed.

"Haha! Lord Shousuke, you should also pay attention, in the future, you will not be like the king, and you will not be able to wear the gorgeous clothes I have given you. Emperor Xia Ling smiled again and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is not like this, your majesty can rest assured." Mei Juzheng said softly, but Mei Juzheng knew that the confrontation between him and Emperor Xia Ling had just begun, and the road ahead was still a long way off.
