In the middle of the court, on a domineering golden dragon chair, a sixty-year-old man silently looked at the ministers below, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Let's talk about it, a government official was killed in his own jurisdiction, what do you think?"

"Qiqi Sheng, when Situ, the lord of Huai'an Mansion, was clearing the night demon forest monsters, he died in battle, and he was loyal to the country, and he was really a loyal minister and a good general, and he should be commended by the whole country. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

......

One by one, the ministers responded in unison, and deeply agreed with this kind of peaceful approach, even if there was any court battle in it, they could not be offended.

smiled coldly, where did the emperor not know the little Jiujiu in their hearts, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, but when he heard a heavy step approaching one after another, a general with a nine-foot length, gray temples, and heavy armor all over his body, with a long sword at his waist, walked up to the court in a hurry, and shouted: "The official of the dignified government, being killed in the territory under his jurisdiction, is a provocation to the court. Your Majesty must strictly investigate, how can it be so hasty?"

General White Tiger, Murong Shan?

Seeing this tall figure, all the ministers present couldn't help but tighten their faces in unison.

This person is the head of the White Tiger Legion, one of the five Great War Kings of the Wind and Thunder Empire, and the head of the Murong family, Murong Mountain, one of the five first-class generals in the empire.

With millions of elite soldiers, he guards the northwest border of the empire and is unstoppable.

He has made great contributions to the empire, so he was allowed not to go to the court on weekdays, and he did not bow down to the court, and his power was almost on par with the emperor.

But even so, there is no one who brings a sword to the court, which is regarded as the crime of killing the king.

But today, he came with a sword, and how arrogant.

When the courtiers saw this, their eyes were pouted, and they didn't dare to speak, only an old man in his seventies glanced at him obliquely and said: "General Murong is so majestic, you just said that a mansion lord died below, and you said that someone was going to rebel, but today you entered the court with a sword, what do you mean? Do you want to use a sword to coerce Your Majesty?"

"Prime Minister Wang, the old man is a rough man, don't use your literati to button the old man's hat indiscriminately. ”

Laughing and pursing his lips, Murong Shan didn't look at him, but just untied the long sword at his waist, offered it with both hands, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the old man has led troops all his life, fought on the battlefield, and never left his blade. If Your Majesty thinks that there is anything wrong with the old minister leading troops to the palace today, please ask Your Majesty to use this long sword to cut off the old man's head as an example. ”

Hiss!

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers couldn't help but gasp in unison.

Murong Shan, you are so bold, aren't you forcing the palace?

With the million elite soldiers in the northwest in your hands, who would dare to cut you? The emperor would not dare to cut you either.

Otherwise, if millions of elite soldiers rebel, won't the empire be destroyed directly? You know this, and you have no fear, isn't this just bullying Your Majesty?

Everyone knew this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

The emperor's eyes were pouted, and he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, waved his hand disappretently, and said with a smile: "Aiqing's words are serious, Aiqing is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his achievements are worth a thousand years, how can I condemn Aiqing for this trivial matter, how is this different from the faint king......? In this way, I will lead the troops to the palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Nodding lightly, Murong Shan looked at the king with a provocative expression.

Prime Minister Wang Cheng was silent and ignored it.

Murong Shan let out an evil laugh, and then hugged his fists to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Situ is being killed in the territory under his jurisdiction, this matter is really strange. Please allow your Majesty to send someone to find out the truth. The pillars of the court must not be allowed to die unjustly. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter has Situ Zheng's deputy, Vice General He personally reported it, he was killed by the demon lord of the Night Demon Forest, the facts are very clear, I think General Murong doesn't have to be sideways. ”

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Wang immediately stood up and said.

His face couldn't stop sinking, and Murong Shan was furious: "It's not your person who dares to die, isn't it?"

"Whoever dies, let's end it. Don't forget, according to Deputy General He's description, the demon lord is a legendary humanoid demon beast. If such a terrible existence is provoked, the entire empire will be in turmoil, it is better to calm things down!"

"Humanoid demon beast? That's just a legend, who in the world has ever seen a demon beast that has cultivated into a human being? Then Vice General He's strength is low, and it is understandable that he was deceived. I look at what kind of humanoid demon beast it is, it's someone pretending to be a ghost. In the entire Huai'an Mansion, there is a group of unsuccessful demon beasts in the Night Demon Forest, led by two little monsters, and they were killed casually, how can there be any humanoid demon lords or the like?"

"Yo, now it's become two little monsters? When Situ was asking for military expenses from the military department, but he said that the demon king in the forest was fierce, and he couldn't kill him even after years of encirclement and suppression, endangering the stability of the local area, and now he casually killed him?

With a cold smile, Prime Minister Wang Cheng sneered.

Murong Shan's face twitched, and he clenched his fists in anger.

In fact, in the entire court, who doesn't know that there are some bandits or demon beasts in every palace of the empire that cannot be destroyed and killed, and they need to be encircled and suppressed for many years.

Isn't it just asking for money from above?

It can be said that these bandits and monsters are all raised by the local government lord, and they are deliberately not exterminated, if anyone takes the initiative to exterminate them, the local government lord must be in a hurry with him.

This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows, even if the emperor knows it in his heart.

It's just that like today, it's the first time to bring it to the court.

Glancing at the two of them, the emperor smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, the two Aiqing don't have to quarrel." I think so, since General Murong thinks there is something strange here, then I will send someone down to take a look. Come on, let the inner palace walk, Xue Pan go to Huai'an Mansion for a walk!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch next to him listened, nodded slightly, and went to deliver the decree.

Prime Minister Wang and Murong Shan glared at each other, bowed to the emperor, and then retreated.

After waiting for the next court, Murong Shan returned to the hall of the mansion, slapped the table angrily, and immediately smashed the marble table beside him, and scolded: "Just send a little eunuch to investigate this matter, it is obviously perfunctory to the old man, hum!"

"The emperor has the emperor's thoughts, and the head of the family does not need to be angry. ”

On the right side of the hall, there is a fire, and a white-haired old man is roasting a fire next to the fire to keep warm, even though it is dog days now, he is still cold all over, and muttered: "Have you read the joint letter of the various families in Huai'an? I heard that the relationship between the master of Situ Mansion and the various families is not very good, and as a result, he died, and the families actually jointly asked for merit for him." This is tantamount to telling the world that this matter is related to them. ”

"Hmph, there are no three hundred taels of silver here. These idiots, I haven't found them yet, they popped out first. With a cold smile, Murong Shan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The old man didn't look at him, just shook his head leisurely and said: "No, this is a clever move, it seems that he is very single-minded and has taken the suspicion on his head, but in fact, it is a conspiracy with the imperial court." ”
