"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
King Yun's voice echoed in the hall, and everyone was silent. Some officials who were on the side of Prince Yan's Mansion frowned, as if they had guessed King Yun's plan.
"oh?"
Mu Jing showed a hint of doubt, looked at King Yun, nodded and said calmly: "If King Yun has anything to say, it doesn't matter."
"My lord, please deal with King Yan!"
King Yun took another step forward, with a sneer on his lips: "The war between the two countries was all caused by King Yan. If she is not dealt with, how can we convince the soldiers fighting on the front line?"
"King Yun!"
"Are you crazy!"
"You are so outrageous! The war is about to begin, and you are not thinking about how to fight the enemy, but are still thinking about internal strife. Are you trying to plunge the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom into a state of eternal disaster?"
After hearing what King Yun said, the officials from Prince Yan's palace stood up and accused King Yun on the spot, regardless of their superiority or inferiority.
Even King Chu frowned and said rather displeasedly: "King Yun, in this situation, your words may not be a bit inappropriate, right?"
"What's inappropriate?" King Yun looked at King Chu: "If King Yan had married the Demon Emperor Jitian, the war between the two countries could have been completely avoided. Because of her wanton behavior, our Holy Kingdom of Tuntian has now encountered the biggest crisis since the founding of the country. , isn’t such a fault enough for His Majesty to deal with her?”
Having said this, King Yun turned around and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that King Yan's insistence has caused a war between the two countries. Even if the war is unavoidable, we cannot easily spare her!"
"Then what does King Yun think that Gu should do with King Yan?"
On the imperial chair, Mu Jing looked at King Yun calmly and said calmly: "Kill her?"
King Yun's brows jumped, and he kept his bowing posture and said nothing.
At this time, King Cang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although King Yan has made mistakes, his crimes are not worthy of death. In my opinion, it is better to let her hand over the power of the Shenwei Division. The war has begun, and the Shenwei Division is so powerful." My strength must serve the country. Instead of letting it remain in the hands of King Yan and gathering dust, it would be better to return it to His Majesty."
"In this way, it can also serve as a small punishment but a big warning."
King Cang's words seemed to be excusing King Yan, but in fact they directly convicted King Yan and skipped all the procedures to take down the Shenwei Division.
Many of the officials present, as long as they were not fools, knew that it was absolutely impossible for His Majesty to execute King Yan. However, King Cang seemed to be worried about this and first put the matter of Shenwei Division on the table. This became an issue that could not be avoided. .
"Prince Cang, the Shenwei Division is the foundation of Prince Yan's Palace. If you take it back, it will be equivalent to breaking the rules of the Nine Palaces." King Chu said solemnly: "This precedent must not be set."
"It's just a special matter. In this situation, if you still abide by any rules, when the cavalry of the Jitian Demon Kingdom breaks through the border and wreaks havoc in our Holy Kingdom, will you still tell them the rules?"
King Cang didn't even look at King Chu, he just regarded him as nothing.
King Chu's expression changed, "You are using strong words to make excuses!"
"Stop making noise."
King An said helplessly: "His Majesty came to us today because he wanted to hear our opinions, not to hear our quarrels."
"Your Majesty, I think the top priority is to prepare the three princes Tianquan, Wulie, and Dingjun to defend against the enemy as soon as possible. Then let Marshal Lin lead troops to help, and we must not give the Jitian Demon Kingdom a chance to break through the border."
King An gave a satisfactory proposal.
Mu Jing nodded and said, "Looking north, you heard what King An said. What do you think?"
Lin Wangbei, who had always been silent, took a step forward and said, "I have made arrangements and can rush to the border to help at any time."
"Very good." Mu Jing smiled and said, "Then as soon as possible, if the Jitian Demon Kingdom breaks through the border and the war spreads to the territory, the Holy Kingdom will be even more passive."
"Yes, I obey,"
Lin Wangbei and Mu Jing sang in harmony, which immediately resolved the somewhat solemn atmosphere in the court hall.
There has been a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers for a long time, and the current dialogue is just a show for everyone to see.
Everyone is well aware of this matter, and no one will challenge it.
Just when all the officials in the hall thought that the topic raised by King Yun had been cleverly avoided, they forgot that there was a person in the hall who was not afraid of Mu Jing's majesty.
"Your Majesty, if we want to start a war, we must first ensure the internal stability of the Holy Kingdom. Right now, Prince Yan's Mansion is the most unstable factor. If we don't solve Prince Yan's Mansion, what should we do if she makes a big fuss again?"
King Cang suddenly raised his head, and his tone gradually became more serious, with a hint of persecution.
"Your Highness, Prince Cang, be careful what you say." Liang Yuan looked at Prince Cang, with some warning in his tone.
"Manager Liang, are you able to speak on His Majesty's behalf?"
King Cang had no expression on his face and did not give Liang Yuan this face.
Many people in the civil and military circles of the dynasty were willing to give Liang Yuan three points. After all, he was a true elder. Even if he had no real power in his hands, as long as he stood there, he could represent the emperor's attitude to a certain extent.
King Cang's lack of face was actually not aimed at Liang Yuan, but at Mu Jing.
"Your Majesty, to deal with King Yan, it is not because King Yan has committed a heinous crime, but to completely put an end to this matter and kill him as a warning to others!"
King Cang took a step forward again, and was only half a step away from the steps.
He raised his head and looked at Mu Jing with murderous intent in his eyes.
Just because his back was turned to the civil and military officials, no one could see the killing intent in King Cang's eyes, but Mu Jing and Liang Yuan could see it clearly.
Liang Yuan's lips moved slightly, and finally they turned into a sigh.
Mu Jing smiled lightly and said, "Then according to what King Cang said, Gu Fei has to deal with King Yan?"
King Cang said nothing.
But his meaning was already obvious.
Dealing with King Yan was not only for the power of Shenwei Division, but more importantly, it was a demonstration.
Now that the two countries are at war, the internal affairs of the Tiantian Holy Kingdom must be stable. Even if everyone knows that King Cang has rebellious intentions, King Cang himself cannot really rebel against Mu Jing.
Otherwise, in such a turbulent situation, if a major event such as a dynasty change occurred in the Holy Kingdom, how could the Jitian Demon Kingdom, which was watching eagerly from the sidelines, miss this opportunity
Only then did everyone in the hall understand why King Yun was so abnormal and so bold today that it was incredible. It turns out that he just raised a topic, and the person who really forced the palace was the leader of the Nine Houses who lived in Jian Chu!
"Prince Yan is not here today, but... someone is here on her behalf." Seeing Prince Cang's silence, Mu Jing smiled slightly and looked at Lu Li, who had been standing there obediently: "Manager Lu, are you there? What do you want to say?”
Lu Li was looking at his eyes, nose, and mind at the moment, almost in trance. He didn't even listen to a word of the arguments of the princes. But the moment Mu Jing asked this question, Lu Li felt that many eyes were suddenly focused. On his own, he couldn't help but wake up and looked around suspiciously.
Does it all depend on what I do
Lu Li was confused. He turned around and saw familiar faces in the crowd, winking at him.
This person is none other than Zhao Jin, and he is also an official who firmly stands on the side of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Seeing his hint, Lu Li immediately understood. He coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty... can you repeat what you just said?"
"Be bold!"
King Yun shouted loudly and pointed at Lu Li: "How dare you lose sight of yourself in the main hall? You are seeking death!"
Old stuff!
Lu Li didn't even look at King Yun, and said with a smile: "I... I was just thinking about how to deal with the threat of the Jitian Demon Kingdom, and I was a little distracted for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
He originally wanted to call himself me, but then Lu Li remembered that he was now considered a powerful official, so he changed his name temporarily, which didn't seem blunt.
"Your Majesty is asking you, what do you think about Prince Cang's decision to deal with Prince Yan."
Liang Yuan, who was standing on the steps, repeated with a smile.
"Ah? How to deal with King Yan?"
Lu Li's eyes widened: "This...I don't have any opinion. King Cang was probably frightened to death by the Demon Kingdom, right? Please don't blame His Highness, King Cang."
"You young man, you are full of nonsense."
Mu Jing, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head and laughing.
"Mr. Lu, do you think King Yan is innocent?" King Cang's expression was a little sinister, and he turned to stare at Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at him without fear.
One person's eyes are cold, and the other person's expression is frivolous.
