Chapter 65: The Eight Clans (2)

At this time, a black-clothed guard rushed from outside the arch with a panicked expression, and went straight to King Yong's side and whispered, "Your Highness is not good, the emperor personally summoned the elders of the eight clans, and at this time, everyone is afraid that they have arrived at the Longque Palace." ”

King Yong's face turned blue suddenly, his eyes swept around the courtyard, and before he noticed, it turned out that the Zhengqing of the six departments and Jiuqing had not appeared, and it seemed that he was taken away by Du Yun halfway.

"Let's go!" King Yong shook his robe fiercely, walked away angrily, walked to the stone arch and collided with Du Yun who happened to come over, and before others could see it clearly, he scolded sharply, "Which dog thing has no long eyes?" ”

"The old slave can't live with His Royal Highness, it's not good for the old slave." Du Yun stood firm with the support of the two horsemen behind him, looked at King Yong with a sullen face, and apologized in a calm voice.

King Yong eased up, suppressed the anger in his heart, and reluctantly smiled and said, "It turned out to be Du's father-in-law, I haven't seen you for many days, and you have become a busy man." Thinking that the Zhengqing of the Six Nine Qings was robbed halfway, he King Yong was angry. If he changes halfway, at least his own people will come to report it, so that he will not make a fool of himself in Linze Palace.

Du Yun smiled bitterly and replied respectfully, "How dare the old slave compare with His Royal Highness, the old slave is just a dog by His Majesty's side." Your Majesty asked the old slave to do what he wanted, and the old slave did what he did. ”

King Yong's stomach was on fire and there was no place to send it, Du Yun brought out the emperor to press him, and at this moment, his face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know what His Highness sent Du's father-in-law to do?" Although he knew it in his heart at this moment, he had to swallow this breath in front of everyone.

"The emperor has a will," Du Yun paused, and waited for everyone to kneel down to listen to the decree, "His Royal Highness King Xuanyong and all the courtiers and the eight attachés are discussing the meeting. ”

"Your Ministers obey." Everyone in the courtyard of Linze Palace knelt down and replied. At this time, the officials of the six ministries and the nine kings and the attachés of the eight major tribes understood why those who were in the right positions had not come for a long time.

Due to the emperor's advanced age and serious illness, the previous sessions of the Eight Clans were held by King Yong in this Linze Palace. Therefore, everyone waited here early in the morning, but no one thought that His Majesty the Emperor would personally summon everyone in the Dragon Que Palace.

Even King Yong under the stone arch was stunned, but fortunately, Lu Peiyuan, the household servant on the side, reminded him, "Your Highness, we have to go to the Longque Palace." ”

King Yong came to his senses, forcibly suppressed the grievances in his heart, and barely squeezed out a little smile to go to the direction of the main palace with everyone.

The rising sun hangs in the sky of Zehai, and the morning light fills the entire Dragon City. King Yong, hundreds of officials, and eight clan attachés were led down to the Ziguang Gate by Du Yun.

At this time, bursts of bells and drums sounded above the Ziguang Gate Tower, hundreds of Praetorian Guards were erected on both sides of the palace gate, and the civil and military ministers tended to pass through the palace gate and go in the direction of the Longque Palace.

On the stone steps of the corridor around the palace, they are all heavily guarded by the armor-breaking army, and the nine guards who guarded the imperial dynasty in the past are arranged on both sides of the Longque Imperial Road under the stone steps outside the hall.

The grand bell was so harsh in King Yong's ears at this moment, he never thought that his imperial brother would drag his sick body to personally abbot this eight-clan meeting. It wasn't until he walked to the bottom of the imperial stairs that he realized that he was a bad move.

The Longque Hall is the place where the emperor deals with court affairs and holds a large court meeting, and it has been vacant for a long time because the emperor is old and sick. Unexpectedly, no one would have thought that His Royal Highness King Yong, who was in the middle of the day, would march forward with everyone.

The civil and military officials walked up the stone steps one after another, and hurried into the hall with a hurried expression. King Yong stood at the door of the hall and stopped, and asked coldly, "What about the imperial brother?" ”

"The Holy Driver has not yet arrived." The attendant of the inner court, who bowed down beside the stone pillar, lowered his head and replied softly.

King Yong already understood a little in his heart, it seems that his imperial brother's health really can't get better, otherwise he can take advantage of his absence to win over the eight major tribes. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he walked into the Dragon Que Hall with a sneer.

"His Royal Highness King Yong has arrived." The attendant in the Dragon Que Hall said loudly.

Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the main gate of the Longque Palace, and saw King Yong, dressed in a Jiuzhu pro-dynasty uniform, walking over quickly, his expression was extremely calm, and there was no difference at all.

After all, he is the prince of the prison country who has been in charge of the dynasty for more than ten years, and he has seen a lot of big scenes in the past. Just now, everyone was still privately discussing whether King Yong would attend the meeting of the eight clans, and all kinds of rumors were rampant.

King Yong walked through the royal road, came to the front of the six departments and Jiuqing, stood on the side of the dragon case and coughed dryly, and then closed his eyes slightly, and stood with his hands in his hands.

The dry cough startled everyone in the hall, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from the foreheads of many of the six Nine Clans, and only the elders of the eight major tribes sat on the wooden chairs without distraction.

The entire Longque Hall suddenly fell silent, and the sound of everyone talking about it stopped abruptly under the cough of King Yong.

After a while, the bells and drums sounded again, and the attendants of the inner court walked quickly to the dragon case, and shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

"Please Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Hundreds of civil and military officials, and elders of various clans knelt down to bow to the elderly emperor.

In the respectful plea of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the emperor sat tremblingly on the dragon couch with Du Yun's support, and sat upright with difficulty. Du Yun was worried that the emperor's physical strength would be exhausted, so he deliberately ordered the attendants on his side to kneel under the dragon case and support the emperor.

In the eyes of the emperor, there is no longer the heroic posture of the past. At this moment, there was nothing more than an old man in front of everyone, and he slowly nodded his head and motioned for the courtiers to get up.

A trace of worry flashed in Du Yun's eyes, for fear that the emperor would suddenly fall on the dragon couch, and this would become the best moment for King Yong to go further. He shouted urgently, "All the ministers are flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Only then did the civil and military officials get up and stand in place in turn.

His Majesty the Emperor stepped firmly on the purple pier with his feet, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked down at the ministers and the imperial brother he had entrusted with the important task, King Yong. "Brother Huang, do you know about the attacks of the four major tribes?"

King Yong naturally knew that the emperor had his own deep meaning in asking such a question, and he just wanted to see how his hidden brother would answer in public.

When everyone heard that the emperor directly asked about the attack on the four major tribes, they looked at King Yong, who was focused, in surprise. The two deacons of the Xihai tribe and the Feihe tribe knelt down and begged the emperor to investigate the murderers and avenge the elders of their tribes.

Before King Yong could answer, the people of the Xihai tribe, the Feihe tribe, the Blood Lion tribe and the Red Eagle tribe cried in the court, asking the emperor to find out the real culprit for them.

The emperor's expression was extremely frozen, with a trace of resentment in his eyes, looking at the weeping voices of the four major tribes, and shouted, "Don't be overly sad and angry, you Aiqing, this matter is me..."

The emperor's old and hoarse voice was almost covered by the cries of everyone, and Du Yun said in a rough voice when he saw this, "Everyone, don't be impatient, Your Majesty has your own judgment in this matter, so please ask His Royal Highness King Yong to come back to His Majesty's question first." ”

King Yong also planned to use the four major tribes to make trouble in the Longque Palace to avoid the attack on the tribe, but Du Yun actually circled the matter back to himself. He glared fiercely at the corner of his eyes, and secretly said to himself in his heart, good you Du Yun, after I ascend the throne, I will definitely not be able to spare you.
