The next day, Zhang Ling followed everyone into the palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He followed behind the crowd, keeping an eye on the surroundings of the palace and meeting many monks. The monks hid in seclusion, watching out for everyone in the mission. Zhang Ling restrained his breath and looked like an ordinary person, stuck at the end, silent.

I'm afraid that this Xia Kingdom and his party can't be good, although the emperor has shown his intention to woo them, but the people of the Western Sect are eager for them to die far away.

Above the court, hundreds of officials stood solemnly, and Emperor Xia was high up, looking down on everyone.

"Lord Wen, are you okay? I saw you drink a lot of wine yesterday. The Emperor asked first, looking concerned.

Wen Ruyan looked solemn, hugged his fists and replied: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I'm fine." This time, I have come to envoy to Xia at the order of His Majesty to sign the peace treaty of the four countries for the sake of peace in the world. This is an affidavit, please take a look at it. ”

The eunuchs beside the emperor came down to take the oath and then presented it to Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia opened it and only glanced at it slightly, then put the oath aside, and just raised his head and swept it to the ministers.

"I am a peace-loving person, not to mention that I am the head of a country, so I naturally do not want war to break out, resulting in the misery of the people's livelihood and misery, so I am willing to sign an oath with the Yue country. Then he looked at the courtiers and asked with a strange expression, "What do you think?"

Suddenly, all the ministers were stunned.

It's insidious!

Zhang Ling secretly rolled his eyes and thought to himself.

He is the emperor of a country, and he is willing to sign an oath for the peace of the world, but after expressing his will, he went to ask the hundred officials, such an act is simply roasting the hundred officials on the fire, making it difficult for them to ride the tiger.

Since the bloody transfer of power to the Western Religion more than two years ago, the hundred officials have only come to worship on official business, but they have already been sent to the Western Religion as soon as they are on official business, so in the past two years, all the big and small things in the Xia Kingdom have been handled by the Western Religion, and the emperor has long become an ornament.

But other countries don't know about this situation, and the Western religion is obviously unwilling to expose this relationship now, so the emperor will be allowed to receive the embassy in the court, but who would have expected that Emperor Xia, who has not heard or expressed any opinions for two years, would actually ask this in front of the mission!

Baiguan is naturally willing to peace, and the Xia country is not a Yue country, and the army is strong.

But the emperor's rights have long been set aside, he saw that the mission was just a formality, and the oath was signed before the mission was about to leave, and then the emperor would be on the throne, and everything would not be affected. But the emperor asked them at this time, as long as they dared to respond, then they had to respond to whatever the emperor said next, otherwise if the Yue envoy found any clues, I am afraid that they would not let go of such a great opportunity to sow discord.

At this time, the ministers made a difficulty, and they all looked at each other, drenched in cold sweat.

Someone in the Western Sect is watching here! How dare they answer casually?

"Everyone, Aiqing, what's the matter, is this question difficult to answer?" Emperor Xia's face was cold, but a sinister light crossed his eyes, which happened to be captured by Zhang Ling.

After all, he is the emperor, although he was strongly deprived of the rights in his hands by the Western Religion, but his imperial mind cannot be deprived, and it is even more powerful than the power of the Western Religion. Immersed in it since childhood, it is not comparable to a monk who has become a monk halfway.

The ministers were even more frightened, not knowing how to answer. The emperor is the emperor they have been worshipping for decades, and the awe in their hearts has long been ingrained, but the iron-blooded killer of the Western Sect holds their current power of life and death, not to mention that he is really violent, they dare not offend!

Zhang Ling and the others stood in the main hall to watch the play, relishing, Xia has always been the most mysterious place in the four kingdoms, and for hundreds of years, it has rarely communicated with the other three kingdoms in general, so they know very little about the Xia country. It's rare to see such a ridiculous scene at this time, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister.

"Your Majesty, the ministers, the ministers, etc., naturally hope that the four countries will be peaceful, peaceful and prosperous. The white-bearded Zuo Xiang stepped forward, his face full of purple.

"It's the same with the ministers!" the ministers shouted.

Disdain flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, but his face was not as cold as Fang Cai, and he began to smile a little more.

"In that case, come on, go and invite Chen Zhangjiao and Qu Zhangjiao!"

"Yes!" the guard answered, quickly turning and leaving.

In an instant, the ministers froze like stones.

What the hell does the emperor want to do? All the ministers were sincerely afraid.

"Chen Zhangjiao is the head of the Xia Sect, and Qu Zhangjiao is the head of the Western Sect. Wen Ruyan said in a low voice.

She seemed to be speaking to the people around her, but she was actually listening to Zhang Ling at the end.

It's getting more and more interesting!

Zhang Ling touched his smooth chin with interest, it seemed that Emperor Xia was going to play a big game, so big that he gambled on the life and dignity of the entire royal family.

Cheng, then Xia Guo is in charge. defeated, then there will be no royal family in Xia from now on.

There was a strange and dull silence in the main hall, and Emperor Xia looked at his minister with cold eyes, and the strong killing intent made his hands tremble a little. He hid his hand in the dragon robe, silently scanning everyone's reactions.

Zuo Xiang was old, worried about his family, and was threatened by Qu Yan, so he took the lead in transferring the song from the palace to the Western Sect.

The right minister is still young, forty-six, and he went to his house on his fortieth birthday, because he has never married in his life.

The military department Shangshu, because he had a grudge against Ming Heng, was the first to be loyal to Qu Yan after Ming Heng's death.

......

Emperor Xia counted the past of these people one by one in his heart, after Ming Heng's death, for more than two years, he sat on pins and needles every day, Chen Mofeng of the Xia Sect put cultivation in the first place, and never paid attention to the government, and now it is the same.

However, will he let him cultivate with peace of mind? Emperor Xia smiled coldly in his heart, his expression dark.

Zhang Ling counted the rafters on the top of the main hall, and when he counted it for the sixth time, the head of the two sects arrived. Zhang Ling retracted his gaze, a moment shorter than he expected, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

After the report, the heads of the two sects entered the main hall, and everyone looked at the door of the main hall and saw two old men with extraordinary bearings coming. The one on the left had a goatee, a peaceful face, and no quarrel with the world, Zhang Ling knew at a glance that this person might be Chen Mofeng. Because the old man next to him looked very murderous, with a fierce coercion.

Zhang Ling glanced at Qu Yan a few more times, and then secretly lowered his head.

He can't see through the strength of these two people, but he doesn't feel as good as his father, their strength is probably in the upper realm of the spirit, Zhang Ling came to a conclusion in an instant, and then felt silent for Ming Xu.

"Your Majesty!" the two stepped forward and did not kneel and salute, but just clasped their fists and bowed slightly.

Emperor Xia hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite, come here, sit down!"

"No need, I don't know what the emperor is looking for us, Poor Dao has to go back to practice, please don't have to do anything complicated. Chen Mofeng said, although he spoke directly, his voice was soft, giving people a good feeling like a spring breeze.

"In that case, then I have something to say. Emperor Xia glanced at Qu Yan, who had not spoken, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, and there was even a look of pleasure in his eyes.

"The Vietnamese delegation came to Yingdu and presented me with an oath of peace, which reads, because the fate of history is coming, I hope that our four countries can avoid repeating the tragedy of history. Therefore, it is now initiated by the Yue Kingdom, and the other three countries have signed an oath to ensure peace, so that the Qinglan region will not be war-torn and the people will not repeat the mistakes of the dire situation. ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the affidavit and unfolded it for the two people below. Although the distance is far away, the two of them are strong in cultivation, and they can naturally see the small words on it. Seeing that it was as the emperor said, the two did not speak, but just nodded.

Emperor Xia's smile was slightly retracted, revealing a distressed expression and said: "I naturally hope that the four countries can coexist peacefully, and it is best for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and I also want to sign this oath very much, but I really can't sign it!"

With that, he regretfully and compassionately placed the oath in the hand of the eunuch on the side, and sighed deeply.

The faces of the ministers immediately changed greatly, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground one by one in panic.

The people in the mission were a little baffled.

Only Wen Ruyan glanced at Zhang Ling at the end quietly, and nodded to him secretly.

Zhang Ling blinked, indicating that he knew.

This is what they have discussed before, if Emperor Xia really makes any moves, Zhang Ling will be responsible for protecting the safety of an embassy, and if possible, helping Emperor Xia overthrow the Western religion!

Although it may sound a little impossible to overthrow the Western Religion, it can create a little civil strife for the Xia Kingdom, and the goal of Wen Ruyan will be achieved.

"Your Majesty, the government is your business, sign it or not, it's also your business, what are you doing when you call us over?" Chen Mofeng frowned and asked, he had always ignored the government and didn't know the rift and grudge between the Western Sect and the emperor.

But as soon as he asked this, Qu Yan's face next to him turned completely dark, and he looked at Emperor Xia gloomily, as if he was going to kill him.

Emperor Xia seemed to be a little afraid, but he was calm and just a little afraid to speak.

Chen Mofeng looked at Emperor Xia and frowned even more, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qu Yan next to him and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the surname of Xia is Xia, and my Xia Sect will always be loyal to the surname Xia, if someone obstructs the emperor's policy, my Xia Sect swears to protect the emperor to the death!"

In an instant, Qu Yan's whole body tightened, and he only felt as if he was being targeted by a flood beast. And when those ministers heard Chen Mofeng's words, bursts of bitterness welled up in their hearts.

In the battle for the top powerhouses, they are afraid that these ministers will be swept away by the torrent.

Wen Ruyan put away the hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we have been ordered to envoy to the Xia Kingdom for the peace of the world, and for the monarch, we naturally have to work hard for the peace of the world, why does Your Majesty hesitate?

Hearing Ruyan's words, with a slight accusation, as if to say that this disregarded the safety of the people, Emperor Xia immediately looked at her with a tight face, revealing a sense of anger, but when he looked at Qu Yan, he sat back with some cringe.

Chen Mofeng immediately turned his head, squinted at Wen Ruyan and said: "This is the female prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, right? I really admired the name for a long time, but my Xia Kingdom is naturally peace-loving, and of course Your Majesty is willing to contribute to the harmony between the four countries!"

His voice was a little annoyed, as if he was blaming Wen Ruyan for what he had just said.

Wen Ruyan just smiled faintly, and just straightened her back to look at Emperor Xia who was sitting tall. The light in Emperor Xia's eyes when he looked at her, she didn't ignore it, it was encouraging her!

Although Wen Ruyan was reluctant to help others, helping Emperor Xia was also helping herself, and she still made enough gestures.

Emperor Xia seemed to be forced to be in a hurry, and rushed out: "I have long been isolated by the Quzhang Sect, where is the right to sign this oath, Prime Minister Wen will go to the Quzhang Sect to sign!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have come back to his senses, and immediately looked at Qu Yan in horror, his face turned pale.

Qu Yan burst out with a powerful momentum all over his body, and the few people close to him were shocked to retreat, their faces turned pale, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.

Everyone in the mission looked at Qu Yan as if they had seen a ghost, it was simply incredible! Xia Guo was really unique! Someone dared to overthrow the emperor!

And the ministers of the Xia Kingdom were all trembling, and a few of them were so timid that they were so frightened that they peed their pants, and the solemn hall was filled with a bad smell.

Chen Mofeng looked at the absurd hall and trembled with anger, what did he not understand about the ministers' reaction? What a great thing to do! He staged such a great drama of rebellion in front of the Vietnamese Mission!

"Qu Yan, who gave you such courage to do this!"

Chen Mofeng stared at Qu Yan closely, his voice mixed with fierce coldness and killing intent, he slowly raised his palm, and there, a light saber condensed from Yuan Qi gradually appeared, exuding a terrifying coercion.

The corners of Zhang Ling's mouth hooked slightly.
