……

After the sacrificial ceremony was hurriedly over, Zhang Chai was taken to a golden palace in the palace that was resplendent and extremely luxurious.

The little emperor held the scepter in his hand, sat on a golden throne majestically, looked down at Zhang Chai who was standing in the middle of the golden palace, couldn't help frowning, and asked Minister Earnest beside him: "Minister, you said before that those who don't kneel when they see me should be beheaded according to the law, right?" ”

"Hmm, hmm......" Minister Earnest said vaguely as he bit a piece of fresh meat in his mouth, "He's my emperor...... I don't know the rules...... Leave him alone, let him kneel. ”

"Well, I'll listen to you. No kneeling! The little emperor didn't have any opinions, looked at Zhang Chai, and said: "ZZ listens to the seal!" I have made you the Messenger of the First Emperor, commanding the Imperial Guard, and maintaining the security of the Imperial City. ”

After speaking, the little emperor turned his head and said, "Is this okay?" Minister. ”

Minister Earnest swallowed the remnants of fresh meat in one bite, laughed twice and said, "It's too wise, Your Majesty deserves to be a Ming Jun!" ”

"How can this be! How can an imperial tool dominate the Royal Guard? At this moment, a military attache came out, half-knelt on the ground, and summoned up the courage to shout: "The Guards have always been managed by General Bude, and if the command is handed over to this imperial tool in this way, will the military power in the hands of General Bude not be hollowed out by the minister?" Please take back the canonization! Don't be fooled by the Chancellor! ”

The little emperor tilted his head and said, "Hey, minister, he said that." ”

Chancellor Earnest's smile remained unchanged, and his expression was kind like that of a kind old man, "He's just talking nonsense." ”

Then Minister Earnest leaned into the little emperor's ear and whispered a few words.

"Hmmm! I see. The little emperor nodded again and again, looked at the military attache who was half-kneeling at the bottom, and said in a deep voice: "Internal Affairs Officer Shao'er!" Criticizing my decision-making, slandering the loyal ministers of the court, and committing the felony of bullying the king and slandering the loyal ministers! Sentence you to a split ox, and confiscate all your property into the treasury. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials, including the internal affairs official who gave advice, changed their faces greatly, and they all gasped.

The confiscation of family property is secondary, and the terrible punishment is the cracking of the cow...... This criminal law of dividing the corpses of five cattle is one of the most brutal in the empire, and it makes people shudder just thinking about it.

Boom!

Two Imperial soldiers with spears immediately held Sauer's body, Sauer suddenly let out a miserable howl, he could not suppress the anger and grief in his heart, and roared loudly: "Your Majesty!! You have been deceived by the Chancellor! Listen to the voice of the people! If this continues, the thousand-year-old history of the empire will be ruined! ”

The little emperor was silent, as if he hadn't heard it.

Without waiting for Sauer to be dragged down by the two imperial soldiers, Zhang Chai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved, stopped the two imperial soldiers, turned his eyes to the little emperor and Minister Ernest, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have no interest in the Royal Guard, and this internal affairs official does not mean to offend His Majesty, so please let him go." ”

"Uh......" Sauer looked at Zhang Chai behind him in disbelief, completely unexpecting that Zhang Chai as the minister's 'minions' would come to intercede for him.

“ZZ！ What are you talking about? Minister Earnest looked cold, slowly walked down the steps covered with red carpet, came to Zhang Chai, and said coldly: "Interceding for a courtier who has committed a serious crime is not what the envoy of the First Emperor should do. ”

Although he became the emperor of Earnest's minister, this did not mean that Zhang Chai would obey his orders, and he simply retorted: "Since I am the envoy of the First Emperor, then you should not question me." ”

The two stared at each other coldly for a few seconds, and finally Minister Earnest smiled disdainfully, "Ha, do you want to be a partner in justice?" Hum! You're just an imperial tool after all, and I'll make you obedient......"

As he spoke, Minister Earnest turned around and said with a thick sneer in his tone: "Your Majesty, although Lord Sauer did not intend to offend His Majesty, but, the punishment of the cow crack can be avoided, and the family property must be confiscated to the treasury in order to show the majesty of my Yang Empire!" ”

The little emperor said indifferently: "Well, just do what the minister wants." ”

The two imperial soldiers immediately let go of Sauer, Sauer breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up with difficulty, couldn't help but look at Zhang Chai gratefully, and said with some shame: "Thank you so much just now......

Zhang Chai sighed secretly, but on the surface, he reminded coldly: "I can't save you every time, so please don't go against the minister in the future." ”

Sauer clenched his fists and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but under the warning of Minister Earnest's grim eyes, Sauer could only leave the Golden Palace lonely.

The little emperor sitting on the golden throne yawned, got up lazily and said, "I'm sleepy, let's retreat." ”

If the civil and military officials were amnesty, they all dispersed as soon as they slipped away.

Minister Earnest glared at Zhang Chai angrily, and said angrily: "Follow me!" I have something to tell you! ”

Zhang Chai casually followed the past and left the Golden Palace together.

Walking in the huge imperial city, Zhang Chai was amazed in his heart, this imperial city has both typical oriental style and European style magnificent buildings, everywhere you can see the magnificent palace, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, gardens...... This is the ultimate luxury that ordinary people can't imagine, and it's no exaggeration to describe the decorations and buildings as stunning.

After the exclamation, Zhang Chai secretly shook his head, the government of this empire is too extravagant! If half of it can be divided to improve the lives of the people, then the people should not rebel against the empire.

Catching a glimpse of the surprise on Zhang Chai's face that had not yet dissipated, Minister Earnest said lightly: "These are the supreme imperial cities built by the first emperor with all his wealth and the strength of the craftsmen of the whole country when the empire was at its peak. It has been tinkering for thousands of years, and it is no longer as magnificent as it was then. ”

Zhang Chai was silent, he felt that he and Minister Earnest could not have any common language.

Seeing Zhang Chai's absent-minded appearance, Minister Earnest snorted coldly and took Zhang Chai to a luxurious mansion in the imperial city, which was the minister's mansion.

The two walked into the hall, and Minister Earnest took the tea handed by the servant, took a sip, and then sat down on the bench with a dull sound, which showed how heavy Minister Earnest weighed.

Zhang Chai casually sat on a chair next to him, thinking about how to know the progress of the plot.

Boom!

Minister Earnest slammed the table, stared at the expressionless Zhang Chai, and roared angrily: "ZZ! Do you know that you made an unforgivable mistake in the Great Hall before! The interior minister, Sauer, who took the money given to him by the empire, secretly connived at and even colluded with the rebel parties in the south who claimed to be a revolutionary army...... There is no forgiveness for sin! I wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate this wallgrass, and you! It ruined my good deeds! Hum! ”

The more Minister Earnest spoke, the more angry he became, and when he said that he couldn't contain his anger, he slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground. (To be continued.) )
