Chapter 19: The Imperial Struggle (1)

There was a sound of the minister entering the hall in front of the door of the Lizheng Palace, Ling Xuan smiled and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

Although Ling Xuan was a second-rank official, he was the prince of the imperial court after all, so he stood in the forefront of all the courtiers, and next to him was the eldest prince Ling Haoyu.

Ling Haoyu glanced at Ling Xuan in surprise, not knowing how his younger brother, who had never liked to participate in the court meeting, came.

The solemn atmosphere surrounded the Lizheng Palace, and at the beginning, it was not as Ling Xuan thought, the people of the five great families directly impeached Situ Ning and Zhao Fei, but played first, Ling Guo's government affairs, the evolution of public sentiment, and diplomatic actions, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about Situ Ning and the two.

But Ling Xuan knew that this was the calm before the storm, and the more he avoided this topic at this time, the more deadly it would be when it was brought up.

Ling Xuan had come to attend a court meeting before, but because he was too bored, he shirked it on the grounds that he was still young and had to work hard to cultivate, listening to the deliberations of those ministers, Ling Xuan fell asleep after a while.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yu Wensheng impeached Yin Situ Ning of Shuntian Mansion, and Zhao Fei, the commander of the city guards, neglected his duties and committed murder, resulting in the killing of two high-ranking officials of the imperial court. ”

"It's coming!"

Ling Xuan screamed secretly, and instantly cheered up, Yu Wensheng is the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, responsible for managing the Metropolitan Procuratorate and picketing hundreds of officials, although it is only the seventh grade, but it is quite powerful.

"Yesterday afternoon, Su Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was assassinated, and in the evening, Yu Wenming, a servant of the Ministry of War, was also killed. ”

"The two of them are in charge of the security of the imperial capital, but in just half a day, two high-ranking officials of the imperial court died, please ask Your Majesty to make decisions for Lord Su and Lord Yuwen. ”

Yuwen Shengyan was full of grief, and in the end, he actually fell to the ground and cried, giving Ling Xuan an illusion, as if the murderers who killed Su Sheng and the others were Situ Ning and Zhao Fei.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Lord Su. ”

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Lord Yuwen. ”

......

The ministers of the five major families all knelt on the ground, except for the heads of the five major families, Ouyang Yuan, the right minister, Wang Yu Wenshuo of Dongping County, Wang Sukai of Linhuai County, Wang Dugufeng of Jiang'an County, and Du Heng, Wang of Shanyang County.

It can be seen from the position that the five great families respect the Ouyang family, and the heads of the five great families are all princes with fiefs, unlike Ling Xuan, who only has three county fiefs, they all have one county fief. In their respective fiefdoms, they are the real "county kings".

Ten thousand years ago, the major forces stood on their own outside the Divine Dynasty, and naturally there were five great families among them, but as the other forces gradually became stronger, they had to be loyal to Ling Guo and seek refuge. Not only Ling Guo, but also in today's countries, powerful family gate valves are formed in this way.

"Ridiculous, after Lord Situ served as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, the government was clean, upright and honest, in the imperial capital, the people did not close their doors almost at night, and the old man didn't know where Lord Situ neglected his duties?"

"Yes, during the tenure of Lord Zhao, he swept away the major gangs in the imperial capital, ensured the stability of the imperial capital, and worked diligently, and the minister never believed that Lord Zhao would commit murder. ”

......

The ministers of the royal family have spoken out to refute it.

However, the people of the five great families were not to be outdone, and they all got up from the ground and attacked the ministers of the royal family.

The two parties, you and I said a word, making the court chaotic, Ling Xuan rubbed his poor ears that were a little hurt by the noise.

"Father, the son has a few questions for Lord Yuwen, please ask your father for permission. ”

Ling Xuan really couldn't stand the noise of the court at this moment, and walked out from the side to speak, of course, he also felt that the time was ripe.

Hearing Ling Xuan's words, all the ministers stopped, not knowing what this prince who had only attended the court meeting once wanted to do. I didn't see [Haowang], who had participated in the court meeting many times, and was studying carefully on the side.

Although he didn't know what Ling Xuan wanted to do, everyone was not optimistic about Ling Xuan, even the ministers of the royal family, only Situ Wen was full of curiosity about Ling Xuan, wanting to see how Ling Xuan solved today's matter.

"Exactly. The voice of the emperor's majesty came from the dragon chair.

"Lord Yuwen, does this king want to know if Yuwen Ming is really dead?" After Ling Xuan received permission, he immediately asked Yu Wensheng.

"Last night, there was a fire in Yuwenming's mansion, which burned its mansion to the ground, how can Yuwenming survive?" Yuwensheng smiled, and then continued: "His Royal Highness King Xuan really knows how to ask some children's words. ”

"But neither the Shuntian Mansion nor the city guards found Yu Wenming's body. Ling Xuan ignored Yu Wensheng's sarcasm, but pressed step by step, not giving him a chance to think.

"This ...... This, perhaps because the fire was so strong last night that his body was burned to ashes. Yu Wensheng's voice was already a little lacking in confidence.

"Lord Yuwen, do you believe this sentence yourself, Yuwen Ming is also a trapped realm cultivator, and his body was burned to ashes by a fire that lasted less than half an hour, which is extremely ridiculous. Ling Xuan's tone was sarcastic, very disdainful.

Every monk in the Hua Realm contains a large amount of heaven and earth vitality in his body, which can enhance people's physique, and if he wants to burn a monk who is trapped in the formation realm into flying ashes, at least one Heavenly Dao Divine Master with the same cultivation is needed to manipulate the heavenly fire and burn it for more than an hour.

But last night, the fire on Yu Wenming's mansion was extinguished after only burning for half an hour, and it was still a mortal fire, which made it even more impossible to burn Yu Wenming's body to ashes.

"Father, there is an inference here, I wonder if I can say it in the court?"
