Above the court, Chen Yanbei showed murderous intent.

This murderous intent spread all around, making the ministers terrified.

Especially Liu Ce.

was stared at coldly by Chen Yanbei, and it felt like there was a knife on his neck.

"Chen Yanbei, what do you want to do, this is the court!"

Liu Ce lost his voice, took a few steps back, and suddenly looked at King Tang: "Your Majesty, Chen Yanbei wants to murder the prime minister of a country!"

"You just questioned me?"

Chen Yanbei suddenly felt as if he was in a no-man's land, and approached Liu Ce step by step.

"Don't mess around!"

Liu Ce's face turned pale.

The reputation of the Sword Emperor is like thunder, and no one present is Chen Yanbei's opponent.

"You're underpumping. ”

Chen Yanbei raised his hand.

slapped Liu Ce in the face!

Liu Ce's cheeks were red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Chen Yanbei, you dare to openly act against the prime minister above the court, you are so bold!"

On the side, a minister who had a close friendship with Liu Ce pointed at Chen Yanbei and shouted.

Chen Yanbei turned his gaze and glanced at the minister coldly, causing him to immediately shrink his neck and keep silent.

"Your Majesty!"

"Please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ce covered half of his face and knelt down towards King Tang: "Chen Yanbei actually shot at the old minister above the court, did he put Your Majesty in his eyes!"

Chen Yanbei has no scruples.

Again a slap in the face.

slapped Liu Ce on the other cheek.

Suddenly, the cheek on that side quickly swelled.

Liu Ce covered his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.

The surrounding ministers were already in a commotion, and their eyes were different when they looked at Chen Yanbei.

Some people feel that they are very happy and play well.

Some people think that Chen Yanbei is disrespectful and bold.

There are also people who are completely interested in watching a play, and they have fun.

Xu Taiwei was happy when he saw that Liu Ce was taught a lesson by Chen Yanbei.

These two slaps are good.

It is time to destroy Liu Ce's self-esteemed and open-minded style.

King Tang looked at all this and sighed slightly.

Liu Ce questioned Chen Yanbei's collusion with the leader of the Demon Sect, isn't this self-defeating?

If I hadn't been sitting here, I am afraid it would not have been as simple as slapping me twice.

"Chen Yanbei, that's enough. ”

King Tang slowly spoke: "Except for Bijun, you were the only one in last night's banquet who was safe and sound. Liu Cheng is suspicious of you, which is inevitable. I believe that you have a clean breeze on your sleeves, and you have no interests with the Demon Cult. ”

As he spoke, Tang Wang's attitude softened slightly.

Obviously, he didn't mean to blame Chen Yanbei.

Seeing Tang Wang speak, Chen Yanbei finally glanced at Liu Ce coldly and retreated to the position where he was standing.

If it weren't for King Tang's face, Liu Ce would already be a corpse by now.

The ministers watched this scene and exchanged ears, and they didn't dare to provoke Chen Yanbei in words.

Liu Ce suffered a loss, covering his face and secretly angry, but he didn't dare to show it, and he didn't dare to look at Chen Yanbei again.

"Newspaper—"

At this time, a guard entered the court hall and came to report.

"Your Majesty, King Qi is waiting outside the palace for a see. ”

When King Tang heard this, his brows furrowed.

What is King Qi doing here at this time?

When the ministers heard that King Qi was coming, they didn't know why.

Since Li Zhongxian ascended the throne, he took Wanzhou as a fief and divided it into the imperial brother Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi has been known as the King of Qi since then and rarely appears in the imperial capital.

"Announce him in. ”

King Tang ordered.

The guards went down to report.

Soon, King Qi, dressed in a gorgeous robe, stepped in.

"Brother Huang, don't come unharmed. ”

King Qi smiled slightly and bowed.

King Tang looked at his elder brother, his expression did not change, and he said: "The imperial brother came to the imperial capital without telling me, and I also planned to go to Wanzhou to inspect after a while, and visit the imperial brother by the way." ”

"Hehe, thank you for the royal brother's memory, didn't I come. ”

King Qi's smile did not decrease.

"Tell me, why are you here?"

King Tang looked down at King Qi under the stairs.

"If the royal brother wants to ask, I can't hide it. ”

"I came here today for the sake of Bijun. ”

King Qi said with a worried expression: "I received news that Bijun was captured by the Demon Sect, is this serious?"

"Not bad. ”

Tang Wang narrowed his eyes: "That's why you're here?"

King Qi sighed heavily: "I am Bijun's uncle, she was captured by the Demon Sect, how can I, as an uncle, be at peace in my heart, how can I not be sad?

"What do you think about the imperial brother?"

Tang Wang did not make a statement.

King Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Although I also want to implore Your Majesty to cut the land and replace him for Bijun, but after a few careful considerations, I feel that I can't send it out of Hanzhou, and Yutang can't help the arrogance of the Demon Sect!"

"According to you, you don't agree to redeem Bijun?"

King Tang's face sank.

King Qi's actions on weekdays are indeed very caring for Li Bijun and very attentive.

It's just that whether it's true or not, only he knows in his heart.

"Bijun was kidnapped by the Demon Sect demons, I was heartbroken, the bedroom was uneasy, and the Demon Sect's practices were even more outrageous. But if it is really as the Demon Sect wishes, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of the world and shake the society of Yutang Jiangshan and Shanji. ”

King Qi showed a look of grief and indignation, and clenched his fists.

"Are you worried that if I abandon Hanzhou, I will lose the hearts of the people?"

King Tang looked down at this King Qi, how could he not understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Yes. ”

King Qi said loudly: "The people's hearts are like water, water can carry boats, and it can also overturn boats." ”

"If the imperial brother cuts off Hanzhou, it will inevitably make the people of Hanzhou, and even the people of the world, think that the imperial brother will succumb to the power of the Demon Sect, and exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhou and the territory of three thousand miles for only Bijun. Such a move will lose the support of the people and arouse unnecessary public opinion inside and outside the DPRK. ”

"But if ......"

King Qi pondered for two seconds and continued: "If the imperial brother is willing to sacrifice Bijun and not succumb to the Demon Sect, it will make the people of the world think that the imperial brother cares about the common people of Hanzhou, and would rather sacrifice his own daughter than give away the territory of Hanzhou and hundreds of thousands of Li people. ”

"So please think twice. ”

King Qi's words caused the ministers to discuss again.

Quite a few nodded in agreement.

King Tang heard the pros and cons in King Qi's mouth, and couldn't help frowning, leaning on the dragon chair for a long time without speaking.

King Qi's words can be summed up in eight words.

Do you want a country, or a daughter?

Previously, the territory of 800 li north of Changling was cut out because there were few cities there and there were few people, and it was also an expedient measure to cut it out in exchange for a temporary peace.

But now the Demon Sect wants the whole of Hanzhou.

Among them, it naturally includes Changling, Qingyang and other economic cities.

It's not the same thing.

"Brother Huang, don't cut the ground!"

King Qi's voice sounded again: "The Demon Sect wants to blackmail Bijun to seek Hanzhou today, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will continue to hold us and other relatives hostage in the future, and once again force the imperial brother to cut the land, and annex the Yutang River and Mountain step by step." ”

"Such a disgraceful act of the Demon Sect, we must not condone it!"

After saying that, King Qi fell to the ground, his expression extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, what King Qi said is indeed not a presumptuous discussion. The old minister agreed with King Qi's statement and begged His Majesty not to cut the land, which strengthened the prestige of the Demon Sect and damaged the hearts of the people. ”

Liu Ce knelt on the ground together and stood in King Qi's camp.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with King Qi's idea. We must not cede this Hanzhou!"

The second minister also fell to his knees.

This has a second, there is a third, a fourth.

All of a sudden.

Half of the ministers present knelt down and pleaded, not allowing the Tang King to cut out of Hanzhou.

"Yes, yes. ”

King Tang looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground at the bottom of the stairs, and his face was angry again.

"You are all my confidants, but Bijun is my daughter and my heart, how can I abandon her?"

"If I can't even protect my daughter, what's the point of sitting on this dragon chair of mine?!"

King Tang's words made more ministers fall to their knees.

"Your Majesty is angry. ”

Liu Ce shouted.

"If Your Majesty insists on ceding the land, please first remove the old minister from the post of prime minister, and allow the old minister to return to his hometown and no longer intervene in the affairs of the court. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen's head is worthless, and I implore Your Majesty to think twice and not cut the ground. Wechen would rather be removed from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even if he died, he would not agree to His Majesty's land cution. ”

"Your Majesty, don't boost the arrogance of the Demon Sect, if Her Royal Highness the Princess can protect the Jade Tang River and fall, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and serve the last force of the Jade Tang River. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. If His Majesty is bent on ceding the land, please also remove the old minister from the post of imperial historian and allow the old minister to return to his hometown. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave also seconded ......"

In just a few minutes, several ministers knelt on the ground and did not allow King Tang to cut the ground.

"Are you doing this in order to rebel?"

The anger on King Tang's face was even worse, but he was helpless.

More than half of the ministers knelt on the ground, and if these ministers were really dismissed, Yutang would definitely fall into a civil strife, and he would not be able to bring a suitable new official to his post in a short time.

The court was engulfed with pleading.

King Qi bore the brunt of kneeling at the front, leading his ministers to prevent King Tang from cutting the land in exchange for Li Bijun.

"That's enough, spread my will!"

slapped the dragon chair fiercely, and Tang Wang's majestic voice sounded again.

......

Outside the city of Changling.

In the dragon chariot.

Yu Taiyue pinched a letter that had not been opened and came to Lin Fan.

"Sect Master, a letter from King Tang. ”

Lin Fan raised his eyes, took the letter, and opened it.

The content of the letter was less than 100 words, but Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Go and bring Li Bijun here. ”

Lin Fan put down the letter and commanded.

Yu Taiyue glanced at the letter on the table, revealing a hint of surprise, but she didn't say much, and immediately withdrew from Long Yuan.
