Chapter 41: Imperial Turmoil
Hearing this, the middle-aged man lowered his head and said in a deep voice
"I, Tiger Batang, am willing to take over the heavy responsibility!"
Before the empress could speak, another man walked out of the courtiers, his body was withered, he was a lean old man, and the old man spoke after making a big salute.
"Your Majesty, what Brother Wan said is reasonable, but the old man thinks that Yinglong Mansion will not be severely punished, and now Datong can be said to have some internal and external troubles, I hope not to do too much internal friction, but to accumulate strength to recover Bazhou as soon as possible."
"Western Xia, Jurchen, Demon Clan, including the four kings with different surnames, have not been very quiet recently" The old man's eyes flashed faintly, in terms of seniority, few of the people present could compare to him, in recent years, Yinglong Mansion has gradually declined, and the White Tiger Hall has become more and more powerful, as the pen of the Dragon and Snake Temple, he should balance the power between the two for the emperor.
In the past, it was to help the White Tiger Hall weaken the momentum of the Ying Long Mansion, but now in turn it is to help the Ying Long Mansion weaken the momentum of the White Tiger Hall, to say that it is embarrassing, everyone present knows that Jiang Yingtian cannot come out of retreat, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the position of the Ying Long Mansion will fall to the tail of the four palace army.
After the old man finished speaking, he bowed and saluted again and retreated among the ministers, and the middle-aged man surnamed Wan on the right had a flash of displeasure on his face, and a little fierce light was revealed in the depths of his eyes.
"Wan Aiqing, can you hear what Meng Lao said" The majesty of the empress pressed from top to bottom, aiming directly at the middle-aged man below.
"Since all the elders have said so, I won't say more!" The middle-aged man surnamed Wan bowed his hand and returned to the ministers, and when he returned to the ministers, a man standing at the back of the ministers quietly walked up, this person naturally had a smile, crooked eyes and mouth, thick nose, and a smiling Buddha.
"Why are you in a hurry" The fluttering voice came into the ears of the man surnamed Wan, and when he looked back in the direction of the voice, the man with a kind smile was looking at him.
"Lord Tang, let's talk about it later" The man's lips moved slightly, and only the other party's voice could hear floated over.
In the main hall, another man walked out from the group of ministers, this person has a young face, a dignified appearance, and an extraordinary temperament, similar to Mu Chengzi's age, but this person only bowed slightly when he saw the emperor and said.
"Your Majesty, Weichen went to Nanqiu a few days ago, visited Li Ziru of Yin and Yang Heng, and learned a very important thing after a brief conversation."
"What?" The empress's voice was a little hurried, obviously taking this man very seriously.
"Zhao Yi returned to Yin Yang Heng some time ago," the man said lightly.
What! , The voices of surprise in the hall came and went, everyone only heard Zhao Yizhi's three words and reacted fiercely, the empress was even more solemn, and Mu Chengzi, who was the first to speak, had a slight squint in his eyes at this time, and the thoughts in his heart were constantly intertwined.
"Zhao Yizhi went to see Li Ziru, according to Li Ziru, his senior brother's current strength is unfathomable, and the slightest aura can be retracted freely, far better than him," the young man continued.
Yes! Even Li Ziru said so! The ministers below changed their faces one after another, and even the middle-aged man surnamed Wan, who had just been strong, changed his expression, and turned around to look at Lord Tang. The empress frowned, looking at the young man and waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Zhao Yizhi also told Li Ziru a big secret, he said that he met a wonder in the wild sea, and that wonder may be related to the Taiqing Building on the river."
At this time, the ministers boiled directly, everyone looked different, and the empress's heart was like a river and a sea, and she tried her best to maintain the calm on her face and said to the young man.
"Liu Aiqing, if that's the case, then what Zhao Yizhi came to Li Ziru for?" The empress is most concerned about this issue at the moment, and there are many people among the ministers who are also very concerned about this issue.
Because of Zhao Yizhi, the former Yin Yang Hengtian Master, betrayed the master and betrayed Datong! And he actually took away the children of the seven southern sinners, and the seven children became famous immortals after they came back, and he supported the southern sinners to build a country, and forcibly divided the land of Datong, which was engraved in the hearts of the Datong people.
I don't know how strong his strength is now, if he comes to disrupt Datong again, how many people can fight him, what wave will he set off?
Hearing this, the young man paused for a moment and spoke.
"Li Ziru only said that Zhao Yizhi invited him to go to the Crazy Sea that day, but he refused"
"Whether it's true or not, only he himself knows" Hearing this, everyone was unconsciously relieved, but fortunately, Li Ziru did not agree, if Li Ziru also betrayed Yin Yang Heng and betrayed Datong, it would definitely cause turmoil in Datong. The empress also breathed a sigh of relief and said to the young man below.
"Liu Aiqing, the stakes are very important at this time, and I am always concerned about some of the situations of Yin and Yang Heng" The empress's face was solemn again, she didn't sit on the emperor for a long time, Datong was in danger everywhere, the surface was prosperous and powerful, but in fact, the undercurrent was surging, she never thought that the emperor would work so hard before she succeeded to the throne, in the past, her father was the gentle and majestic Datong Emperor, Datong is the most powerful country in the world, full of talents, developed economy and trade, and stable people's livelihood, until the death of her father, she succeeded to the throne, everything is not so simple, Datong has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, If she is crumbling in her hands, she is unwilling, she is not affected by this torment all the time, for the country and the people, for the stability of the country, she is afraid, but she must be strong.
"The minister must be the king and the country, and be loyal to his duties," the young man bowed his head and said loudly, his resounding voice echoed in the hall, and the uneasy empress's face slowed down slightly, revealing a smile, and her already extremely beautiful face was even more beautiful after having a smile.
The young man retreated to the courtiers, who were still distracted by the shocking news just now, and only heard the empress's majestic voice come again.
"Retreat!"
"The Grace of God, for all generations"
The ministers shouted together and withdrew from the main hall.
......
In Yinglong Mansion, Mu Chengzi, who had just finished the court, stood in front of a pavilion with his hands on his back, closed his eyes and recuperated, quietly waiting for something.
"Senior brother, why are you uneasy?" Mu Chengzi opened his eyes and turned back gently, at this moment he had changed back into his regular clothes, a light cyan robe, with the temperament of a noble son.
"Senior brother, I..."
"Please punish Senior Brother" The voice of the person who came was twisted, which was completely inconsistent with his image and temperament, unlike the words spoken by people like him, he pounced, he half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and saluted with both hands.
The person who came was Jin Sheng, who rushed back all the way from Heiyan Mountain, and Jin Sheng's arrogant temperament at this moment was not seen at all, but instead he was cautiously nervous, and he looked really contrasting.
"Senior brother, everything has been explained to me, it seems that you also know that you have made a big mistake, and I don't need to say more"
"You have been going to the Panlong Hall to meditate for half a year, and after half a year, the Holy Lord will let Yinglong Mansion travel to Bazhou again, and then the opportunity for you to make up for your merits will come" Mu Chengzi put his hands behind his back, looked at the man in front of him who was half-kneeling and bowed his head, and said softly.
When the man who was half-kneeling on the ground heard this, his whole body trembled slightly, and he immediately bowed and said loudly.
"Thank you Shengshang Longen, Senior Brother Xie, I must bear the mistakes I made! I'm going to the Panlong Palace," after that, I had to get up and rush to the Panlong Hall to receive the punishment.
