Crossing the threshold that many people have never had the opportunity to cross in their lifetime, Xiao Yu walked into the Imperial Palace of the Golden Tile Dragon Pillar.

Above the court, the civil and military nobles are noble, and the princes are lined up.

The civil officials are headed by Li Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, followed by the second assistant Zhou Jingchao, and in the case of the empty suspension of the three princes, the only young master Sun Shiwu, the six Shangshu, the left and right servants, the Guozijian, the Hanlin Academy, many nobles, the left and right inspectors of the imperial history, and the inspectors of the imperial history.

The military general was headed by Zhang Qing, the governor of the capital, followed by Sun Ligong, the governor of the dark guard, Lu Qian, the governor of the Jiangdu, the left and right governors of the Son of Heaven's army, and the left and right governors of the patrol soldiers and horses.

There are also feudal officials, headed by the governor of Zhili who was served by Qin Wu, the son of the clan and the prince of the auxiliary state, after Qin Zheng stepped down, and then there were the governors of Liangguang, Sichuan and Shu, Liangjiang, Lianghu, Youzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qizhou, and Qingzhou.

There are also Song King Qin Heng, Linlang County King, Langya County King, Huainan County King, Zhou Guogong, Dingguo Gong, Zhenguo Gong, Ping'an Hou, Dingyuan Hou, Jing'an Hou, Zhongyi Bo, Zhongyong Bo, Pingnan Bo and many other clan nobles.

and Xiao Lie, who put on a black national python robe again.

At the end of the hall is the Nine Dragons coiled throne, the dragon chair has no legs, supported by the Sumeru seat, high on the terrace, and Emperor Zheng, dressed in a black dragon robe, sits on the dragon chair, and the twelve Eastern Pearls on the crown above his head are always reminding this old man who is already dying of wood is the true master of this vast empire.

The smoke curled in the turtle and crane incense burners on both sides, and it was impossible to see Emperor Zheng's expression clearly.

Xiao Yu strode forward, neither bowing his head nor the slightest intention of kneeling.

An old man and a young man looked at each other from a distance across the main hall.

Xiao Yu stopped and stood still.

Seeing the king and not kneeling is a great sin of disrespect.

A speech official Yushi immediately walked out of the queue, fell to the ground, and kowtowed sharply: "Your Majesty, please treat the king of Xiping County for the crime of disrespect!"

Xiao Yu turned a deaf ear.

Three more officials came out of the queue one after another, bowed to the ground, their heads were blood-red, and echoed: "The ministers seconded the proposal!"

There was silence in the main hall.

Xiao Yu glanced back, his words were like thunder, and he said calmly: "Invite the name to sell directly." ”

As soon as Xiao Yu said this, there was finally an uproar in the Imperial Palace.

"Is there still a little bit of courtiership in the eyes of the king of Xiping?"

Li Qi, the deputy imperial envoy of the Inspectorate, was the first to stand up and said angrily: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the right to rumor and impeach hundreds of officials, and it is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Yu stood with his hands in his hands and said calmly: "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, when will it be the turn of a little imperial history to point fingers at this king?"

Li Qi raised his head suddenly, pointed at Xiao Yu, and said in a loud voice: "If you don't kneel when you see Your Majesty, do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes? Your Majesty has named you the Captain of the Horse, but you claim to be the king in the grassland without authorization, can you have Your Majesty in your eyes? Colluding with the demons of the Taoist Sect and causing trouble to the five states in the northwest, have you ever had Your Majesty in your eyes! What kind of king are you of Xiping County, but you are just a thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people!

Li Qi knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Zheng again, and sobbed: "The sun and the moon are clear, and the ministers are only for the great Zheng plan, so I implore Your Majesty to kill this fang!"

Speaking of this, Li Qi kowtowed fiercely, and blood splattered on the ground paved with gold bricks.

Emperor Zheng looked at Li Qi with a blue face, the relationship between Xiao Yu and Da Zheng was just a layer of window paper, a king of Xiping County gave it, and he didn't care about giving one more privilege to kneel, but now this layer of window paper was pierced by Li Qi, which caught Emperor Zheng off guard for a while.

What's more, Xiao Yu's king of Xiping County was still canonized by Emperor Zheng himself, and Li Qi's words were tantamount to slapping Xiao Yu in the face.

The princes of the court were also taken aback by Li Qi, and at this time they came back to their senses, and Zhou Jingchao, the second assistant of the cabinet, immediately shouted: "Words of the heart, words of the heart! Where is the general of the Han Dynasty? Don't fork Li Qi out!"

Sun Ligong, the Governor of the Dark Guard, said sharply: "Come on, drag Li Qi out!"

The two brocade-robed dark guards picked up Li Qi, whose face was covered with blood, and dragged him out.

Li Qi still shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister has a Dan heart, the sun and the moon can be seen, I just ask Your Majesty to kill Xiao Thief, Xiao Thief has 400,000 troops, sit in the northwest and look at the world, Xiao Yu does not kill, Da Zheng is in danger! If Xiao Yu is allowed to return to the northwest, it will be even more difficult to let the tiger return to the mountain, and it will be too late to regret it, Your Majesty, think twice!"

Sun Ligong shouted: "Shut his mouth!"

Zuodu Yushi, who had been speechless, shouted: "According to the ancestral system set by Emperor Taizu Gao, the imperial history has the right to directly advise the Son of Heaven, even His Majesty cannot abolish the right of imperial history to directly advise, Sun Dudu is going to destroy the ancestral system of Emperor Gao?"

Zhang Qing, the governor of Dadu, who has always seemed to be sleepy, wrote lightly: "Evil words confuse the public, frame the loyal and good, and everyone will be punished." ”

Zhang Qing's words were breezy and fluttering, but the strength of them represented the various military attaches in the court, and if Xiao Yu fell, their military attachés would not be able to take power, so how could they contend with the civilian officials? Moreover, the imperial history of Zuodu was a party of the princes, and although the prince's party was no longer what it used to be, the hatred and resentment in it could not be brushed aside.

Party strife is higher than state affairs.

After all, Zhang Qing has been in charge of the military power of Dazheng for many years, and he has accumulated great authority, and as soon as this statement came out, he was immediately echoed by many military attachés, so that the civil officials naturally could not sit idly by, and the first assistant Li Yan said-for-tat: "Emperor Taizu Gao has a custom, and the official is not guilty of his words, Li Qi is just a blunt admonition, how can it be said that it is a fallacy to confuse the public and frame Zhongliang?

Sun Ligong, the Governor of the Secret Guard, said coldly: "The King of Xiping County is His Majesty's personal title, this person not only calls the King of the County by name, but also denounces him as a thief of the country.

The party struggle has turned into a civil and military dispute again, and for a time there was chaos in the court.

"Enough!"

Emperor Zheng shouted angrily.

The chaotic court was quiet again.

Emperor Zheng covered his mouth and coughed, then waved his hand, and Sun Shilin, who was standing beside him, said loudly: "The king of Xiping County has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is specially given a sword to go to the palace, and his face is not kneeling." ”

The officials who had been arguing looked at each other.

Xiao Yu, who had been watching coldly, returned the salute slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

"Pull the deputy capital envoy Li Qi and other five people out of the Imperial Palace, and the court staff is sixty. ”

There was another uproar in the Imperial Palace, and immediately several bone courtiers came out to kneel and plead.

Emperor Zheng turned a deaf ear.

The eunuch Sun Shilin, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant eunuch, said coldly: "Whoever has a plea, the court staff is thirty." ”

The entire Imperial Palace seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black clouds.

Xiao Yu walked behind Qin Heng, the king of Song, and stood with his sleeves clenched.

After a while, there were four wails outside the hall, some begging for mercy, and some were stubborn to the end, especially Li Qi, the deputy envoy of the imperial capital, who scolded Xiao Yu more than once, and it was quite powerful at the beginning, but after about half a pillar of incense, it was already weak and inaudible.

A chief eunuch with a little blood on the corner of his robe walked into the Imperial Palace and said sharply: "Your Majesty, the five of them can't stand the punishment and are killed." ”

Emperor Zheng nodded slightly expressionlessly.

Xiao Yu looked down at the upper of his boots.

The first assistant Li Zhengran, the metropolitan governor Zhang Qing Lengran, the Song King Qin Heng was indifferent, and the Duke of Anguo Xiao Lie was indifferent.

The entire court fell silent again, and everyone lowered their eyebrows.

Xiao Yu raised his head and looked at Emperor Zheng.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Zheng's eyes were full of murderous intent.
